Today's Sports Parade

"I never saw a champion who
couldn't stick one closer to that
flag than you could. Match play
brings out courage and if man
hasn't got courage he won't go far
in our business, even if all the tour
namentS were held on billiard Ia
bles with eleven pockets
At this point l grew tired of in
terviewing golfers and decided to
make a summary of the situation
of my own. My summary is this:
Golf tournaments are won by the
men who require the fewer number
of shots to get from tee to cup.
Those who do not like this sltua-
ton should confine their activities
to the practice tee or stand IN
front of the clubhouse bar and tell
gullible members how hot they
would be if they only had the luck
and the breaks.
Snead'S blast against meeting a
rival hand to hand reminds me OF
Walter Hagen. Past his prime, the
OF Haig told me that nothing
would suit him better than to start
in New York and play clean TO
San Francisco against anybody,
anytime, anywhere, for anything.

By HENRY McLEMORE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. &c. (UP)-
Two days ago in San Francisco one
Sam Snead gave out an interview
to the press in which he said that
match play golf was foolish, meant
nothing, and was not a true test
of skill.
Coming from one so prominent
as Snead, l never thought to queS-
ton the statement until yesterday
when, during a pro amateur tour
nament at Lakeside golf club, l
overheard a dozen or more of his
fellow professionals criticizing him
for his statement. With true re-
porter's instinct I asked Snead's
rivals what they thought of his
flat declaration that such tourna-
ments as the national professional
golf championship, the Ryder Cup
matches, the San Francisco and the
Belmont opens, were worthless and
unfit for spectator consumption.
Snead'S companions made no
bones about condemning what they
consider his absurd assertion. The
first pro l spoke to was Olin Dutra,
the big fellow who has not only
won the p. c.. A title but the ma
tional open as well, two titles that
Snead has yet to win.
He is a nice boy. Sammy" one
said "and is a helluva golfer, but
he hasn't learned to take his lick
ings as gracefully as he does his
winnings. Speaking as a veteran
pro. my guess is that the first time
he wins a big match play tourna-
ment he will come out and say they
are great"
After 1 had talked TO Dutra, !
ran into Jimmy Demaret, the tur-
kev-necked Texan who recently
won the Los Angeles open.
"Snead has got the right to think
whatever he thinks" Demaret SAID
but I can't see eye to eye with
him. To me a champion goes in
anv sort of conditions. I'm not as
GOOD a golf player as Snead is, but
I never saw a man that / wouldn't
play for all / had on sand greens,
grass greens, or down 5th avenue.
II ever tied for the national open
il would suit me to settle the title
bv playing one hole. If you are
hitting the ball, it doesn't matter
what you're playing, match, medai
or marbles"
Leo Diegel, who stopped Walter
Haoen's five year strangle hold en-
professional match championships
said that match play was chiefly
a test of a golfers CUTS.

Cold, Efficient Fighter
Eighteen thousand persons in
Madison Square Garden last night
saw Louis at his peak. He was cold,
efficient fighter who was out TO
knock a man senSeless as quickly
as he could.
The fight looked so easy for Louis
that most people forgot today the
caliber Of the man who was in there
against him. Lewis had never been
knocked out before. He had the
reputation of being a smoothie with
plenty of speed afoot But he had
never stood up and shaken his
fists at lightning before and last
night lightning struck-three times
and in the same place.
Louis came out in a shuttle and
for 80 seconds they reached for
each other with leftS. John Henrys
left grazed Joe's ear. and that was
the only time he ever came close
TO landing a blow. They were over
along the ropes when Louis right,
moving only about IS inches, caught
Lewis just above the eye.
Bop 1t went and Lewis hit the
floor. blood gushing out of a cut.
It's doubtful if Lewis ever will
remember any more about the
fight He got up, his brain too full
of clouds and cobwebs to stay down
for a nine count and recover. Then
Louis stalked him. John Henry
retreated toward his own corner,
unable to get in a blow because
Joe's left was flickering in and out
to the head With his back to the
ropes John could go no further.
Right Smashes Home
Bopi went Louis right again,
and Lewis feet flew out from under
and he reeled half way through the
middle and top ropes. Referee Ar
thur Donovan started count, but
nobody in the Garden was ever 60
ing to live to see the day when
John Henry Lewis dogged it in
fight. Again John Henry came UP
without waiting for a nine count
and flung left, hopelessly short,
in Louis direction.
Two minutes had licked away and
now Joe was stalking his foe along
the ropes to another corner. Louis
eyes narrowed to Sits when he
saw his opening. That incredible
right that flashes so fast the eye
can hardly catch it landed again
this time flush on the jaw.
John Henry hit the canvas and
rolled directly in front of the Unit
ed Press ringside wire. His eyes
were as vacant as an unfinished
house. His arms and legs were limp.
II was then that Donovan stopped
the fight, after getting up to a
count of five.

week to watch the Bragadocio Gal
ento fight the champion of the
world.
Little is actually known of Gal
entos ability. He has not fought
a real top notch heavyweight. NO
fighter has been able to stand up
against him in fights to date, but
how he would fare with master
ringman like the champion no one
can guess.
Regardless of his ability. Galento
possesses more color than any
heavyweight in the game. His
boasting makes Max Baer an
amateur and his antics out Of the
ring shove Baer clear out Of the
picture as a clown.
Galento's last fight ended in
one round knockout over Jorge
Rrescia, Mild" Bull of the Pam
pas. Brescia lasted less than two
minutes. Galento hit with one left
hook and it was all over but the
counting.
Tony describes the fight thus:
Il spared a minute, then threw
q left to set him up for the kill
But when I was ready to kill i'm,
there he was spraWled on the
floor The big bum quit
So until Joe Louis and Tony
enter the ring the beer baron will
continue to be the mystery man of
boxing. The Polo Grounds won't be
too large TO house the battle.

 Douglas Mal1och Too much is written about Alaska by gooc writers who make IA day round trip to the Territory, eight of those IA days spent on the boat. Good writers can write intere esting1y about any subject in the world but not always truthfully. Round -trippers who come to the westward spend more days on the boat and fewer in Alaska but if they writers they go home and write euthoritatively CD about Alaska just the same.
 One of the recently visiting editors who came to Alaska with the National Edi- torial Assoc iation in June, sends us copy of his paper in which he says: When we left Seattle, we were practically out of touch with the world for Is days, 1nas' much as the newspapers in that section carry news that we had read before We left the States, and local news which was more or less strange to us. The only onHMn- ication Alaska has with the rest of the
