P1NEHURST, N. c., Nov. lit
won't be long now before tall
youngster named Ralph Bogart, who
halls from the Army Navy Country
Club Of Washington, is going to step
out and rock the amateurs of the
land back on their heels. Kids de-
velop quickly, if they develop at all
in golf, but Henry Picard. the tall
boy from the Chocolate Town of
Hershey. thoroughly sold on 18-year-
old Ralph, predicts brilliant future
among the simon-pures for the lanky
son of Comdr. l. c.. Bogart.
II had a round of golf with Ralph
a few weeks ago at Washington, y
said Henry as he pocketed a siz-
able share of the prize money of
the pro-pro championship here for
which he and Jack Grout tied yes
terday. He showed me enough
there to make me believe the boy
has something. but I realized he was
playing on his home course I asked
him to come up to Hershey to play
with me over my own course. He
surprised me more than any kid I've
seen in years Playing in a big
wind, under miserable conditions, he
scored a IS and licked me on the
last hole.
But I'm not altogether surprised

was stationed there. Bill was the

seen and when I licked him I knew

Has Most Everything.
But this Bogart boy is big and
strong and keen. He also loves the
game and works at it, You don't
need much more to 60 far in golf
He weighs around 1870 and he has
youth. I look for him to step out
and go somewhere as an amateur
within a very few years. When
youngster really gets going he gets
going fast Kids develop within a
year or two, and Ralph looks to be
boy who will go very fast"

a touchdown when Karr blocked
Ed Justice similarly to the way
in which Pinckert had been
blocked. Justice tells me that
Karr said to him: How'd you
like that? That's one of your
own plays"
The strange part of it is that
the Redskins haven't used that
type of play all year.
It is perfectly clear that the
officials let the game get out of
their hands completely or they
couldn't have helped detecting
such fragrant violations. As a
matter of fact, we might just as
we'll have been playing without
any officials for all the discipline
they exercised.
The pictures also showed that
our linemen were failing to
charge as they should have on
quick kicks and that accounts for
the blocking of two of Sammy
Baugh's punts. Linemen don't
have to charge on regular kicks,
but they do when q quick one is

Se|f-Defense Is Aim
Of Skins in Clash
With Richmond
Fear Injuries os They
Look to Comes With
Pirates, Gionts
BY BILL DISMER. Jr.

They're not saying much about It.,
but the Redskins are keeping their
fingers crossed until after that ex-
hibition game at Richmond Sunday.
Not that they believe National
League prestige may be dimmed by
an unexpected defeat by the Dixie
Leagues Arrows, but that their
chances of beating the Pirates and
Giants could be lessened through
other outcomes of the game.
In other words, the Redskins must
be extremely careful about Their
personal welfare for the next two
weeks and that means an avoidance
OF such otherwise minor injuries as
spralned ankles, twisted knees and
any other slight ailments which
would leave them less than perfect
for their final drive in defense of
their Eastern championship.
Aim to Protect Themselves.
Naturally, they'll not take any un-
usual chances against the Arrows
but they must go farther than that
and see to it that no present wounds
are lrrltated or made more serious
1t would be something less than
fatal should they be forced to play
Pittsburgh here a week from Sum
day without such key players as
Andy Farkas, Bill Hartman, Max
Krause and others who were not in
top physical shape for the Bears.
The Redskin linemen, as a whole
slowly are recovering from the bat
tering they took in Chicago and
aside from still-swollen eyes and
cut cheeks and lips, are uninjured
Had they prepared for fsticuffing
last Sunday, they might have been
better able to take care of them
selves. but they were ready only for
football and they had to take it,"
No Chances to Be Taken.
If it's any consolation to them,
both the Pirates and the Giants are
the type who devote more attention
to football than to extraneous fight
ing. Thus. with only football to
think about. the Redskins should
be able to defend their title in
manner more befitting champions
than they appeared to be--through
no fault of their oun-in Chicago.
But they've still got to be in per-
feet condition, so their fingers are
remaining crossed until the game
ending whistle at Richmond Sunday.

Just now the game of the likable
big boy from California is as sour
as last weeks cream, and he spends
countless hours on lunatic hill trying
to get back in the groove he had
as the king of world amateurs in
1884 and 1885.
The tip also is out that the break
up of the Spalding caravan is near.
Lawson, enrolled as a member OF
the troupe shortly after he turned
pro in 1896, will go back to steady
tournament play, which may help
his game. He has been one of the

the bizarre costumes of the women
who had dressed for rough hiking

interesting pictures.
Fortunately, or unfortu-
nately, depending on the
viewpoint, the rabbits seemed
to know the date Of the trials

They all apparently decided to
stay in their snug, little holes for the
10 days the field trials last. We

NEW YORK, Nov. H. Young
Corbett, Sd, the world middleweight
champion of San Francisco and
Yucatan, and Fred Apostoli, the
world middleweight champion Of
Marcel Thil, and Freddie Steele
will meet on Friday night at Madi-
son Square Garden for the world
middleweight championship Of each
other, to the tense excitement of
.00l rabid fans.
Technically this is a title fight.
The New York Boxing Commission
ignores the claims of Algernon Hos
tax, worlds middleweight champion
of Seattle, and Solomon Krieger,
worlds middleweight champion of
Algernon Hostak. The New York
Boxing Commission always is ignor-
ing somebody. If the boys are not
very careful the commission will
appoint Maj. Gen. John J. Phelan
middleweight champion Of the world
and try to get the title away from
him.
Better Management Might
Make MiddIeweight Gloss.
That is what the middleweight di-
vision has come to. There are lot
of pretty good fighters drawing pay
as middleweights. Take them out
of the hands of combinations which
are afraid to fight in certain towns,
against certain people, under GER
tain circumstances, and you might
have the busiest and most interest
ing division in the business.
There are no heavyweights to
challenge Joe Louis. There are no
fighters of any kind, barring Cefe-
rlno Garcai. to challenge Henry
Armstrong and his two, formerly
three, titles. But there are plenty
of good and evenly matched middle
weights to draw crowds and attract
followings.
Apostoli and Corbett make nice
natural match. Let the winner fight
Krieger and the winner OF that one
fight the still unclassif1ed Hostak-
and even Freddie Steele, if he wants
to rise from the dead-and you
could take the play away from the
other categories. which are not do
ing business as usual
Also you could settle the whole
matter once and for all. But as long
as Krieger is snubbed and Apostoli
is pampered. and Corbett is un-
licked, and nobody knows whether
Hostak actually can punch like
Ketchel or is just bum-we!l. you
are wasting good money and lot
