Must Rout AustroIion Wolf,
Now Lurkino at Door

This Mako is quite a guy" says
Cap'n Pate. They will have tc
hustle to keep him out of singles
job. Riggs will have his hands full
licking Mako"
This is Cannon, and I guess the
captain knows it. Riggs can breeze
through Mako matches to 10.
No one says that Cap'n Pate and
the y. S. L. T. A. will keep Riggs
and Sabin off the team just because
they don't like them. Glass must
tell, and the aldermen must recog-
nize it. But they still won't like
Riggs and Sabin, whose blood does
not leak blue in the shaving basin,
like Woods, and who do not beat a
trap drum as sweetly as Mako.
This years team must be as tough
as possible, if we want to keep the
Australian wolf from the door. In
fact, there is only one chance I can
see Of our keeping the cup-if Riggs
wins two matches, from Bromwich
and Quist, and if a stout, lucky, and
well-trained doubles combination
AAAAAS NP, oehS O4 MdhO dllO SdUl1l,
though they will need plenty of
practice together-scratches out a
win for the third point.
Bromwich beat Riggs last year.
Both are young and coming strong,
and Riggs may come strongly enough
to reverse the decision this year.
He probably will beat Quist. But
the doubles-they don't look so
good.
If it weren't for a bit of old
fashioned hair splitting by the
U. S. L. T. A. and the International
authorities, we could load our team
with Vines and Bulge and keep the
cup safe for democracy. Those fel-
lows are professionals, but so, in, a
way, are Sabin, Mako, Riggs. Brom-
wich and quist. The officials make
distinction between expense-ac-
count professionals and contract
professionals, and thus they will lose
us the cup and saucer.
You can say for the contract pros,
though, that the pay is better. The
expense-account pro is often hard
pressed to cover a 50 bet in the
floating crap game.

Fortnight|y Matches,

New Policy Devised for
Greater Convenience
Of Capital Clan
By WALTER McCALLUM.

District golf professionals, look
ing ahead to their biggest compete
tive season in 1899, will draw up a
schedule Of events early in April
that practically will cancel most Of
the Journeys hitherto held by the
Middle Atlantic Professional Golf
ers' Association.
Under the setup now proposed by
the local pros, only about four af-
fairs will be held this year by the
Mid-Atlantic pro body, but the
Washington pros-far more active
than their Baltimore brethren-will
stage a tournament every fortnight
and invite the Baltimore boys to
compete.
Baltimore couple of times month
to play in tournament" asks
George Diffenbaugh, spark-plug of
the Washington pros. when there
are so few Baltimore boys playing
in our affairs and when we have
enough pros right here in Washing
ton to organize our own tourna-
ments."
Many Matches Planned.
The answer is that in addition to
the Mid-Atlantic P G.. A. champion
ship, the place of which has not
been set, only two or three other
Journeys will be held by the sectional
pro body.
In place Of the Mid-Atlantic af-
fairs the Washington pros will hold
their own events at the clubs about
the Capital, spacing them every two
weeks. And in addition they will
start in midsummer a series of ex-
hibition matches to run for about
| 10 weeks, winding up the season with
the District open championship, won
for the past two years by Witty Cox,
the sparse-haired Congressional live
wire
Word comes from Miami, by the
way, that Witty will be home by
March l, instead of March Is, as
had originally been his intention.
Cox has been working hard on added
golf facilities for his club and wants
to see through to completion as
quickly as possible a new nine-hole
| course.
No Attack on NJ. A. Body.
I'VE want to work hand in hand
with the Baltimore boys on tourna-
ments," says Gene Larkin, tourna-
ment chairman of the local pros,
"and we don't plan any breaking up
OF the Middle Atlantic P. G.. A. But
most OF us don't see any reason why
there should be so many tourna-
ments held in Baltimore when we
can hold 'em right here within few
minutes drive of our own clubs.
To go to Baltimore for a round
OF golf takes nearly full day. Fur
thermore most of the men who play
in the pro tournaments are from
Washington. So we have decided to
arrange our own schedule this year.
1t will be a good one and all the
boys who want competition will get
plenty of it,
Last year the District open was
opened to the world It didn't make
any difference, for although AL
Houghton and Ed Oliver, the out
standing out-of-town entrants, fin
lshed in the money, they didn't stop
the parade of Witty Cox to the title.
From the money received from
Sunday exhibition matches the Dis
trlct open championship should
nave purse well above $500.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 24.-Clem-
son Colleges Bengals, the defending
champions. ruled the favorites in
| the Southern Conference boxing
tournament, which will open here
tonight, but rivalry for individual
and team honors was expected to be
the keenest in years.
To take the conference crown
again, the Bengals will have to fight
through strong array. South

seemed particularly formidable, on

Alperstein Seeded No. 3.
Capt. Chuck Kasik of Duke was
seeded No. in the 135-pound class,
but Lou Carleo of South Carolina
seeded No. 2, and Benny Alperstein
Of Maryland, seeded No. 3, offered
very definite threat.
Ady Gennett of North Carolina
held the favored place in the 1877
pound class. McCrady of South
Carolina and Ross of Clemson were
seeded next in the order named.
However, due to the draw, McCrady
and Ross must meet before the
finals.

sason against some tough opposi-
ton. had the nod in the pound
classification. but he was matched

customer in Cox of MARYLAND
Lyons OF the Citadel was seeded
No. 2.
Cronin Highly Rated.
Frank Cronin of Maryland and
Jerry Hughes of South Carolina, in
the 155-pound division. appeared
the best bets. Hughes drew a first
round bye. Cronin must meet the
Citadel's Urlich.
Berry of Clemson and Austin of
Virginia headed the list of l2o-
pound boxers.
The top-ranking heavyweight is
Hubbard of North Carolina. He was
paired in the opening round against
Covington of Clemson. The other
heavyWeights, having drawn byes
will not see action until the semi

Mako Seems Eosy Mark
For Wayne This Yeor

At any rate, Sabin has been
pounding Constantine Eugene
Mako, the fair haired trap drummer,
like one of Mako's drums all winter
long He has five dukes over Con-
stantine Eugene in five starts. He
aims to make it six in the indoor
nationals.
Wood is an added starter. The
shuttle puts him in Sabin's half
Of the draw, which means that
the U. S. l.. T. A. will have two
consecutive cracks at its favorite
fly in the ointment. If Wood fails
to quell Sabin, Mako will be wait
ing for him in the final.
Though I am busting at the
seams with reverence for the U.
S. L. T. A., I hope Sabin wins in
q walk.
Riggs will not play in the tourna-
ment. This uncouth crapshooter is
warming up west of the Alleghenies,
making tens the hard way, l trust
and punching the light and heavy
expense account blanks. No one
ever got home to an expense ac-
count with more Furnishing effect
than Riggs.
The U. S. L. T. A. does not care
for this crude character but, unless
1t wants to hand the Davis Cup to
Australia on silver platter-which
goes with the grail anyway-it will
have to have Riggs on the team.
Mako outlasted him last year in
the national singles. but few tennis
addicts seriously believe that Mako
is the better singles player. I don't
think Capn Walter Pate does, either,
though he says he has his doubts
about Riggs.
