 New York, June 15-(UP)-Flot- sam and Jetsam from today's sport tide: One of our scouts who covers the waterfront saw Charley Yates of Atlanta, winner of the recent British amateur golf championship, as he underwent customs inspection upon his arrival from Europe yes- terday ,. the customs inspector de- manded to know what was in the big walnut chest Charley was car- rying, and opened it :. Inside was the British amateur cup, one of golf's most sacred trophies, and it was packed with-dirty shirts, the suit of long underwear Bob Jones lent Charley to wear during the tournament, ties, an assortment of socks, and soft hat Charley said the cup never was going to get out of his sight, which, if true, means that Charley is going to have to curl up his long legs and sleep in the trophy case of the East Lake Country club in Atlanta He may get bad case of silver polish 1t is if he doesn't watch out.
 Story
 Speaking of cups, Gene Sarazen tells of the time he won his first national open and arrived in Chi cago with the cup under his arm Having trayeled very little, the Young Sarazen had forgotten to make train reservations for New York and all he could get was an upper as he clambered in the bertll-with the precious cup still under his arm-Bob Jones leaned out from a drawing room at the end of the car and yelled:
 Hey, Gene, come on down with that cup and let's go outside. I'll play you for it."
 Even then," Sarazen says, q had enough sense not to play Jones for any cup I had won, and went on to bed"
 The conservatives will be glad to know that Joe Louis has joined them =. Before their first meeting. Joe predicted he would knockout Max Schmeling in one round :. . Now, with the memory of the ter rible licking still green, not to men, ton black and blue, in his memory, he says it will take him all of two rounds to dispose of the challenger Schmeling is equally as confi- dent as Louis, and tells one and all that he will punch the champion stiffer than a Nazi salute per- sonally, I don't take any fighters prediction seriously until he agrees to step into the ring on winner take-all basis [. remember that when Jim Braddock was announc- ing in a pleasant baritone voice what he planned to do to Louis, I asked him if he would be willing to fight for all or nothing He said yes, and probably was sincere . But when I suggested such thing to Joe (33 1-3 per cent) Gould, his manager, he turned on his heel and walked away
 Oh! Those Dodgers
 You have undoubtedly read on the sports pages, at one time or an- other, of how the departed greats look down from Valhalla and watch the performances of the teams they used to coach or play for D.. well, tonight at Ebbets Field, when the Brooklyn Dodgers play their first game under the floodlights, am going to take searching look to- ward the heavens :. want to see who will be looking down and guid- ing their destinies my guess is that it will be Phineas T. Barnum ... This game should be pip, for funny as they are in the sunlight the Dodgers should be even merrier oafs with the lights in their eyes.
