REYMONDS LOSE FIRST LOOP GO
Community Club Tops HilIies 29=26-Tribes
 Taken, Too

Without the services of their cap tain, Pete Pomponio, the Reymond Hillies proved to be just another team last night, and went down to their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Community club, 29-26, in the first of a two game bill at the Washington Park Community house. Welles defeated Tribunes 34-23 in the featured battle of low CT Baldwin street"
 From the outset of the game, which saw the HillieS scoring most of their points by taking advantage of foul shots, the Community club took the lead, and doggedly main- tained it. In the last period the Hillies found themselves and start ed a rally which brought them within three points of possible vic- tory.
 Freddy Sullivan scored g points for the Hillies, ' of them being gra- tis throws from the foul line. Howie Loughlin and Damelio were the chief thorns in the side of the Hil- lies, as they boosted the Community Clubs score with 15 points between them. Tommy Mccormack was the Clubs ace defense man.
 The Welles found it unnecessary to press the protest which would have been made had they lost to the Tribunes. The protest was to be grounded on the use of two players who were suspended for en- gazing in court fight last week. Ray Kozen led the Welles attack, while John Kelly, whose playing was protested led the Tribunes SCOT ing.

.BRADDOCK NEW MANI SINCE HE LOST HIS GROWN
Plans to Quit If Badly Beaten By Farr-
 Looks Good
By HENRY SUPER

Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Pompton Lakes, N. J., Jan. 15. (UP)-James J. Braddock, former world heavyweight champion, ad- mitted today that he has reached the crossroads of his f1Stic career.
 Next Friday night he encounters Tommy Farr of Wales and on the outcome of that bout will depend Jimmy's futrlre-if any-in the ring.
 If he wins, Braddock hopes to fight at least once a month and per- haps get another shot at the cham pionship he lost last summer to Joe Louis.
 If he loses-and he doesn't think he will-Jimmy may hang up his gloves forever. But that will depend on how badly he is beaten.
 Braddock, training seriously here for more than a month. said he doesn't need the money; that he hopes to keep on fighting as long as he can because he likes it.
 He felt like a new man" today and a five-round workout with two sparring partners convinced experts that he is far from being through. His right hand carried a smack of authority and his left was long and sharp. Although 32 years of age and entering his twelfth year of prize ring campaigning, Braddock looked like young man-so young, in fact, that his handlers again are calling him Young Jimmy"
 Braddock said he weighed 197 pounds-a half pound less than he scaled for the Louis fight.
 "Now that I've lost the title" he said, it seems like a great weight has been lifted from my mind. No more banquets, parties and affairs to attend. People don't ask me out as much as before. I'm just another fighter now-and think I'm better than I was last summer.
 "Tll quit if I'm whipped too badly but I'm not going to be. like fighter like Farr. I've been reading of how he's going to try to knock me out. That's swell. I'll let him ,, come in to me and then I'll give it to him"

Rancho Santa Fe, Cal, Jan. Is - UP) - The pasture just over the fence always appears greener than the one in which you are grazing. That is an aphoriSm which has long been believed but, until today, I had always questioned it. Now I am convinced.
 was sitting in the lobby of the Hotel Del Mar, adding up my golf card Ono mean feat even for a more talented mathematician than D and could not help but overhear the conversations of the many great professional golfers gathered here for the Bing Crosby $3,000 open tournament.
 Ii you and I could shoot golf as well as they do, you and I know what we'd talk about The pars we had, the birdies we stole. the eagles we bagged, the money we won, the 1mpossibilities we overcame. But not the pros. If am to judge by the conversations l heard, there isn't a pro who doesn't see the hills far away as greener than his bunkers: and know that the other guys rack ct is better, and easier, than his.
 Take Harry Cooper. What do YOU think Cooper was talking about when I emerged from my toadstool which they call a potted palm out here in California? There must be fully one million duffers in this country who would sacrifice a limb let alone a tree, to be able to play round of golf like Cooper. But Cooper wants to be a photographer
 He stopped on the way from Los Angeles to sign up for four lessons at 20 clackers, or dollars, per les son. Presumably to take pictures of duhers breaking three clubs and a hundred at one and the same time
 And along came an interloper, a man with shoulders so wide they had to remove the revolving doors to get him in the hotel. This was Lawson Little, who had just pound- ed out a par 72 on the Rancho Santa Fe course without bearing down.
 MT. Little" I said, what would you like to be. A golfer?"
 T have given up," said MT. Little "on account should have had a 6e If the ball had any sense. The way 1t was they kept dropping into every gulley where a tin can showed, in stead of waiting for the green.
 Come to think of it." added Willie Little, T would like to be a candid cameraman and maybe, wher I grow up, be the guy who gets sent around to night clubs ct cetera talk ing pictures of celebrities like Harry Cooper, Horton Smith, Walter Ha gen and the blind man who beat all three of them on warm day"
 Craig Wood, who tied for the first spot in the contest to decide the best dressed man at the 1897 open cham. pionship, looked like a soft touch You just knew he was heading fol Hollywood to usurp the spot Adolpl Menjou has had too many years but this would turn out as bum guess Because Craig Wood, who drove ou here from Miami, Fla, in three days wants to be racing driver. He car drive 5000 miles with no trouble, bu he can't sink two-foot putt to sav' his neck, or clutch, or gear shift Nowadays anyway.

KING SCORES
BUREAUCRACY

A renaissance of the spirit Of
local self-governent is a vital need
of present day America.
Senator William H. King CD,
Utah and chairman of the Senate
District Committee, made this as
sertion last night in a speech be-
fore the District Society of Sons
of the American Revolution.
He called attention to the rising
power of central governments
abroad, declaring:
Under the collectivist creeds
Of Germany, Russia and Japan,
ideas of liberty are discredited
and men are treated as tools of
the state, not personalities"
The society voted against a mo-
tion to take from the table a pre-
vious resolution, condemning Nazi
persecution of Jews. President
Chalmers Seymour Mcconnell said
such an expression would repre-
sent interference in the affairs of
another sovereign nation.

Practically Impossible

MILD TEA TABLE discussion
AVA has followed Mrs. Roose-
velt's sincere insistence that
members of the Presidential
family be allowed to live their
own lives. It has always been a
White House family problem.
Coolidge'S sons were too young
to work. One Of Hoover's sons
caused some discussion in those
days merely because he took a
legitimate engineering job with
a passenger air line which had
a Government mail contract.
Washington generally has
considered the problem a matter
of personal choice. There is no
rule. Presidential sons have
generally desired to refrain
from anything which might en-
barrass the President, such as
cashing in on the family name,
and at the same time try to es-
tabliSh their own careers. Most
have found It impossible. Wash.
ington has never known a mod
ern one who was satisfied or
entirely free from criticism.
