Should George survive the Yarosz
engagement, Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn will endeavor to import Freddie
Steele, world middleweight champion
for fuss late this summer. First
however. Abrams must prove he is not
just another fighter who blossomed in
amateur hothouses only to wilt before
the withering fire of an accredited
clouter.
Yarosz took the middleweight title
from Vince Dundee in 1884 and lost
it a year later to Babe Risko when his
leg was fractured in the seventh round.
Although twice losing to Billy Conn
last year. Teddy whipped Solly Kreiger,
Ken Overlin, George Black and Lou
Brouillard, among others.
Yarosz Now Eighth Middle.
Yarosz currently is ranked eighth in
l60-pound circles by the National Box

Abrams, out of the amateur class
year this month. has won 10 of 20
bouts. but never has faced fighter of
Teddy's ability. In fact, the string of
mediocre mittmen he was meeting
prompted ringworms to demand he be
given less collapsible opposition.

OPEN GOLF TRIAL
Bic BATTLE HERE
Fine Field to Strive for
Three National Berths
at Indian Spring.
By WALTER McCALLUM.

That scrap for the sklmpy three
spots in the national open golf cham
pionship at Indian Spring next Tues
day, when the sectional qualification
rounds come up over the 36-hole
medal route, is going to be one of the
better tests of heart and golf ability
in any links competition around
Washington this year.
With only three men to qualify out
of % entrants zone of them an
amateur the man with heart and
that uncommon quality known as
quits" is going to be among the trio
to go to Denver next week to play for
the title now held by stoop-shouldered
Ralph Guldahl.
Fine Field to Compete.
Off-hand it looks as If Leo Walper,
the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. champ;
George Diffenbaugh. who knows
Indian Spring as few men know it,
and AL Houghton, who can play the
course as we'll as any one, might be
the three to qualify.
But you can't dismiss guys like Cliff
Spencer. the hitting Maryland
champion; Chandler Harper of Ports
mouth, Va: Benny Loving of Con-
gressional, Bob Barnett of Chevy
Chase and John Bass of Baltimore
with a wave of the hand
Walper has been burning up the
layout in practice rounds. He has
worked himself back into the groove
and a few days ago he played Inoian
Spring in 66 whacks, with % puts.
One round like that will qualify him.
You can't dismiss Fred Mcleod, the
1908 open champion, either. although
the pace looks little fast for Freddie.
And frankie Cunningham of Burning
Tree will take some beating.
Not Keen About Trip.
Any way you view the thing, that
36-hole test is going to be a test Of
heart, with a score around 143 needed
to qualify, provided the weather is
good. If rain falls the top score will
be at least two shots higher. In
way the boys have a break in that
Witty Cox has decided to scratch his
entry. The Congressional pto would
win a place in any field. but he won't
play at Indian Spring.
The boys aren't too keen about 60
ing to Denver. They figure it will
cost around 200 bucks and most of
them, knowing they have little chance
to win the championship, regard the
thing lightly. But the national open
is the big tourney of the year for the
pro golfers. To most of them 1T is
an honor to qualify and play in the
big one. That's why they like to
qualify and play in it, even if it Is
held 1,7O0 miles away from Wash
ington, as this year.
We like Walper, Diffenbaugh and
Houghton, but all three can miss.

REFORMERS EYE
CALIFORNIA TURF
Restriction Suggested to
Save Game-Merchants
Among Kickers.
Batting.
By FRANCIS J. POWERS.

LOS ANGELES, Calf. May 26.-The
Watch and Ward people are on the
trail of horse racing In California and
may force move to repeal the law
legalizing the sport, on the ballot this
fall
Undoubtedly racing is too popular
and too strong financially and polite
ally for such a measure to carry this
year. but it is freely predicted the
Watch and Ward people eventually
may be successful unless the sport Is
restricted.
California now has what amounts
to year-around racing. and that is
what irks the Watch and Ward people.
Bay Meadows and Tanforan in the
San Francisco Bay area operate two
meetings year of Is days each.
Santa Anita has been going So, Del
Mar IS and now Hollywood Park is
ready for 33-day session. In addi-
ton, there are numerous county fair
meetings-some of II days-and. un-
til recently, there has been week end
racing at Aqua Caliente below the
Mexican border. Consequently. a hoss
player never is without some ready
place to lay his money.
Averaged S605.00 a Day.
The wagering at Santa Anita during
last winters meeting averaged $605 200
daily, and that when the recession
was bearing down on the community.
It Is estimated that Hollywood Park
will average at least 100000 a day.
When all of this money is totaled 1t
represents quite a bite on the people
of one State
First complaints against racing al
ways come from the small merchants
when the weekly and monthly bills
start running behind. And it is from
merchants that the current opposition
to the sport is coming, although church
organizations also are lending their
support.
California racing Is conducted on
the highest possible plane and it Is
likely the producers will save their
sport by meeting the demands Of the
Watch and Ward people. Otherwise.
they will face the same opposition
that has killed the game in many other
States, including California back In
1908.

YATES GRATEFUL

British Amateur FinaIist
Says Sergeant Made Him
Star Linskman.
BY SCOTTY RESTON.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TROON. Scotland, May 28.-Charley
Yates, who was 2-to-l favorite to
beat Ireland's Cecil Ewing and win the
British amateur golf championship in
todavs 36-hole final, gives the credit
for the development of his game In
the last few years to George Sergeant
1909 United States open champion who
now is professional at the East Lake
Golf Club at Atlanta
of course, I played golf long
time before Sergeant came to Atlanta. :"
Yates explained after his semi final
triumph over Hector Thomson. but
he certainly has been a great help to
me. I don't know exactly how he
changed my game. but I know it
changed for the better"
Pioneer in Film Teaching.
Sergeant, former professional at the
Scioto Country Club, Columbus, Ohio,
was one of the first pros to realize the
value of the slow motion camera in
teaching golf He has taken thousands
OF feet of film of Bob Jones and other
stars swinging CLUBS.
Nevertheless Yates swing bears little
or no resemblance to that of Jones or
to any other outstanding American
player. With long clubs he gives a
definite impression of stiffness, but in
every respect his swing is compact and
sound. His swing isn't long and this
has given him the accuracy necessary
to stay in Troon's 35-yard fairways.
He's what is known as q shut face"
hitter.
Without his miraculous approaches
and puts, however, Yates never could
have gone so far this week. It is
doubtful If more brilliant exhibi-
ton of approaching and putting has
been seen in the amateur champion
pionship since Jones' grand SIAM"
Deadly on Carpet.
The boy is absolutely terrifying, no
matter where he is on the green.
Yesterday against Thomson it was pos
sible to see the Scot gasp every time
Yates stroked the ball for the hole.
His approaches to the green have been
hit more accurately and with lower
trajectory than any other player in
the field, and he's been using the pitch
and run with devastating effect.
The remarkable thing about his
playing is that in every match since
the fifth round he has been outdriven.
But this has worked to his advantage
because his irons have been so good
his opponents had to hit their Sec
onds knowing Yates was we'll on the
green.
The boy also has won Scotland's
heart by his infectious good humor
and his deliberate play. Yesterday
between matches he got one Scotsman
to teach him how to sing old Scot
tish ballads and became so interested
in these he was late for his match
with Thomson.

OLD CAMPA|GNERS
BLAMED BY CRITIC
Holds Them at Fault for
Exh0rbitant Demands in
Expense Money.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

Dy nnAN\HS d. L " vNAAsS'
LOS ANGELES, Calf. May 28.-
Some one is setting a poor example OF
amateurism for our college track and
field stars. When Louis Zamperini OF
Southern California University. the
countrys premier distance runner. was
accused of demanding unWarranted
expense money to travel 10 miles for
the Compton Invitational meet, no one
thought the boy was being original.
Zamperini, who made the 1896
Olympic team when just out of high
school, and was the first American to
finish il. the 5,000-meter run, unques-
tionably got his ideas of expense ac-
counts from some of the old campaign
ers on the voyage. He probably also
was reminded of the story common
hereabout that an internationally
famous track star was well compen-
sated for appearing here in connection
with a soccer game last winter
A. A. U. Urged to Act.
The writer has knowledge of several
other amateur events in which college
stars became embroiled over expense
accounts on the advice of graduate
performers The A. A. u, which is
busy about everything else concerning
the conduct of amateur sports, might
do we'll to investigate this expense ac-
count business. which is becoming as
unsavory as it was in tennis some
years ago.
The tragic part of Zamperinis faux
pas is that it might have ruined a
brilliant track career. Only 81 years
old and sophomore at Southern Cali
fornia, zamperini is rated the greatest
distance runner ever produced in the
United States by no less an authority
than Charlie Paddock
1t is Paddock's opinion that the
California Italian will be at his best
for the 1910 Olympics at TOXIC and
q match for the long-geared Firms
who have dominated the games in dis
tance events for many years. Zam-
perini has not been pushed at any
time this season and several times had
done a mile in a shade over 4:l0.
Chances are the unfortunate Compton
incident may be smoothed out without
any action by the A. A. U. and the
boy saved for future competition.
Lash Saves Show.
The feature event of the Compton
meet was to have been a l.5O0-meter
race starring Zamperini and Don Lash.
the former Indiana University star.
, Lash came here on a perfectly legiti-
mate expense account and saved the
meet. after Zamperini had defaulted.
by not only winning the l,50O-meter
event in good time, but also entering
and winning the 5,OO0-meter run.
Lashs performance was in such con-
trast to the exhibitions of some A. A. U.
stars that it won him thousands of
admirers in Southern California.
These small and independent track
meets, such as the Fresno relays and
the Compton and Santa Barbara in
vitations, have done much to popularize
the sport in this area Fresno drew a
capacity crowd of $4,000 and at Comp
ton spectators lined the fences.
The Zamperini incident may have
the unfortunate effect of causing
Southern California and other Pacific
Coast teams to compete only in con-
ference and nationally sponsored
meets. The Western Conference has
put curb on the activities of its track
teams, and the wisdom of that action
Is apparent.
