Jones, q member Of the board
of one of the country's leading
sporting goods houses, usually
shows up for all the tournaments,
but his absence here at Shawnee
was noticed by everyone. Hagen
and Armour both qualified for the
championship but wired on ex-
cuSes for not being able to show.
FAIR TIE.UP
Unless something is done and
done real soon nobody is going to
want the championship. Rumors
have the 1899 championship going
to New York in conjunction with
the world fair.
The rumor has the champion
ship being played at the Bathgate
course, public links that is along
side the fair grounds. If these
rumors materialize it might be
just the thing to bring about a
change of interest in the cham
pionShip.

subscription.
"The Japanese government"
said Sawada, did not forbid
the games. In fact, it could not
do so. That is up to our
Olympic committee. I am ex-
pecting a cable today telling me
whether our committee votes to
hold the games or give them
up. I personally favor holding
them in Tokyo as originally
planned"
However, in athletic circles here
it is doubted that the japanese
Olympic committee will have
nerve enough to run counter to
the wishes of the Japanese army,
which apparently does not want
to be annoyed with athletic games
when the soldiers have q more
important, if not so pleasant,

pen in a mixed bout between
a fighter and a wrestler.
MATMEN BEST
"Well, I'll tell you a story"
replied Ernie. Years ago
Farmer Burns tied some rope
around his waist and went in
against a boxer. In two min
utes Burns had the boxers arms
and legs securely tied with that
rope.
II once offered Joe Louis $15.-
900 to meet me in a mixed
match, but he turned it down.
There isn't a good boxer liv-
ing who could beat good wres-
tier. Id say the average length
of the bout is less than a min
ute. Even if a boxer has a ire
mendous punch, a wrestler can
clinch long enough to get a hold
on him. and that's the finish"
In spite of his long career,
Ernie is quite a nicelooking guy.

he looked very angry.

A wrestler! And no ordinary
wrestler, but Ernie Dusek, of the
dreaded Duseks, who scatter
opponents like confetti. Unfor-
tunately, have been one of the
towns leading sneer-leaderS in
writing about wrestlerS. The
article about Ernie must have
been particularly vitriolic. I
also remembered that writing
about the matmen isn't the
same as writing about boxers,
because the grapplers can read.
Ernie waved a copy Of the

ing asked by everyone. 1t is
the toughest grind of all cham
pionship golf tournaments, but it
still remains the Stepchild Of
golfdom.
STARS ABSENT
Last year at Pittsburgh Field
Club. Aspinwall, Pa, the tourna-
ment took beating and the year
before at PinehurSt, N. c., it took
an even worse licking. Hand-to-
hand conflict in tournament golf
has never been as popular as
medal play competition, although
it gives the spectators a much
better break so far as observation
is concerned.
In medal all interest is centered
around the few leaders, while in
match play there is interest in
every match, which allows a Sepa-
ration of the galleries and does
not congest the course. In this
years event the absence of such
illustrious figures as Bobby Jones,
Walter Hagen and Tommy Ar.
mour had a lot to do with the
absence Of color and interest.

trouble for us to walk a few blocks
to prevent it.

opportunities not wisely, but too
we'll. we grumble some more.
Most of us think that the free

the radio are fundamental to Ameri-

with watchdog ferocity? Not much.
