ENTERS SECOND
ROUND OF PLAY

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8 QN.S0.
They were starting early and they
were playing late today as the
thirteenth annual $4,000 Los
Angeles Open tournament went
into the second round over the
municipal courses at Griffith Park.
A field of nearly 300 crack
amateur and professional golfers
sought to cut down the impressive
lead shared by long-hitting Jimmy
Thomson and Willie Goggin who
turned in cards Of IS in their first
rounds.
Perfect weather conditions and
a field which sparkled with class
today indicated the complete sue.
cess of the tournament. Yesterday
saw record-breaking crowds fol
lowing play and late alst night
officials of the tournament an.
nounced that gate receipts for the
first day were almost double what
they were last year.
Both Thomson and Goggin
were confident that the 65s they
made yesterday could be equalled
in succeeding rounds.
Three strokes back of the two
leaders as the second 18-hole
round started today were Lloyd
Mangrun, of Dayton, Ohio; Bruce
Mccormick, Los Angeles amateur
who holds the national public
links championship and who was
low amateur in this same event a
year ago; Henry Picard, Hershey,
Pa; Harold McSpaden, WincheS.

GN.S0.-If the white light of in.

Paul Derringer, hurler for the Gin

For the first time since the mo
foul" rule was adopted several
years ago the referee of an i'm
portant fight was confronted sud
denly with a problem that required
his own solution to prevent an un-
satisfactory ending.
The referee was Arthur Dono-
van, the commissions ace official
and he applied sensible judg-
ment to relieve a tense situation.
Steele backed away from a palp-
ably low punch, doubled up with
pain. The referee ordered Apostoli
to cease firing.
Give me minute, I'll be all
right" pleaded Steele.
Some referees would have
thrown the fighters together I'm

mediately-as the New York rules
provide for no respite or rest in
a corner. Had steele gone down
Donovan would have been forced
to count over him.
But the distressed middleweight
champion hoped around for 80
seconds, signified then he was
ready to resume and closed the
round with a repertoire of furi-
Gus punches. 1t was not until two
rounds later that the fight was
stopped Even then Steele begged
the referee not to intervene, but
he was hopelessly beaten and no
good end would have been served
by submitting him to further pun
ishment.

OVERWEIGHT GO
Champs Badly Cut
Face Causes Ref
To Halt Bout
BY DAVIS J. WALSH
International News Service Sports Editor


NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-BIood
came in \ cascade from Freddie
Steele's left eye, the right was
just a horrid slit and, in the
middle of his face there was only
a ring of red to show where once
a nose had been. At times, he
was bent double like a small boy,
peering through a knot-hole; at
others, he 3wayed and trembled as
though having a seizure and, al
ways, he dragged his right leg
painfully-the result of low
punch.
That was the lurid scene, as
presented before 5000 spellbound
witnesses at Madison Square Gar
dent iast night, when mercifully
they stopped the fight after 81
seconds of the ninth round to save
the middleweight champion Of the
world from further punishment.
Today, he's still the middleweight
champion of the world.
NONTITLE BOUT
Briefly, succinctly and to the
point, Fred Apostoli, 1914, San
Francisco, scored a technical
Knockout over Freddie Steele,
1891, Seattle, in one of the wild
est, most boisterous evenings ever
put on at the Garden-but, after
all, they were only fooling and
that "161R" after Apostoli's name
was the joker. It meant that, by
prearrangement, he had come in
a pound and half over the middle
weight limit and hence couldn't
win the middleweight title be-
cause, for purposes of the records,
he wasn't a middleWeight last
night.
1t also meant that, within a
few months, Apostoli has knocked
out Marcel Thil, of France, and
Steele, coclaimants of the cham
pionship, and still remains what
he's always been: the leading
challenger. Probably othing
quite like this ever has happened
before in the history of boxing
/
have been few fights like last
nights.
GRUDGE BATTLE
1t was a grudge fight, a payoff
for the knockout that Steele scored
a few years ago when Aposton was
strictly second rate, and so they
faced each other with lips curled
back in a Snarl and belted cease
lessly with both hands. Almost
miraculously, neither man was off
his feet from the effects of a
punch, even when Steele was
clearly and blatantly hit low in
the seventh-the real turning
point-and even when Referee
Donovan, seeing Apostoli land per-

Another important decision
was made with respect to divot
cast by a player upon opponents
ball in a hazard. holding that the
divot could not be removed by the
opponent and must be played.
MUST USE CLUBS IN BAG
Still a third decision was made
by the executive committee. adopt
ing that a competitor is permitted
to use only the clubs in his bag
with which he started without un-
fairly delaying the play, providing
that the club becomes unfit for
play and that he continue within
the limit of IA without borrowing
from an opponent or partner or
a fellow-competitor.

teur status during the past year.

INTERPRETS CODE
The committee is concerned,
however, with reported infringe
mentS of the amateur code in a
number of ways, such as giving of
prizes that are more than SYM
bolic and therefore are inappropri-
ate for amateur golf; acceptance
of golf merchandise without fair
payment, and capitalizing of abili-
ty or reputation as golfers in vari-
GUS ways.
The cash prizes in the open will
be $4,000 as last year, the cham
pionShip committee ruled.
The implements and ball com.
mittee reported that it feels the
present ball is generally Satisfac-
tory to players and that any in
crease in the flight or roll of the
ball would necessitate further
lengthening of golf courses, thus
adding to the expense of upkeep,
to the amount of taxes where ad-
ditional land must be required
and to the physical effort and
time required for a round of golf
