Sees Win for Lou in 10

Raves Over Gloves
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.-Joe
Jacobs, whose "gimmick" blues
slipped OIL key before the Louis
Galento fight, is chirping again in
much the same tenor.
He insists that the gloves to be
used by Two-ton Tony and Lou
Nova when they tangle at Munich
pal Stadium Friday night be kept
under lock and key until fight time.
Jacobs tossed off aspersions yes
terday on Nova's conquest of Max
Baer last June.
Claims LOUIS Win Tainted.
THAT Nova wouldn't hurt Baer,"
he snorted, unless the paddin' was
broken loose and showed away from
his knuckles."
"Nova's victory was tainted, that's
what it was"
The imaginative Jacobs is remem-
bered, among other things, for his
charge that Joe Louis had a "gim-
mick" or blunt instrument, in his
glove when he moved down Max
Schmeling
Aside from such fantasy, the Sab
bath was busy one for the prin-
cipals. After watching Nova wade
into sparmates, Tommy Loughran,
erstwhile boxing great, hailed him
as the winner ''in 10 or II rounds. u
Loughran Likes Nova's Work.
II like the way he's working
remarked Loughran. His best plan
would be to box him, wear him out
Still, there is nothing cut and dried
about it. Tony has chance"
Meantime, at Leiperville Tony
pummeled his partners to the de-
light of Joe Jacobs I'm salts
fed said Yussel. THE guys in
shape"
Nova will refrain from heavy work
today. Galento's plans were not re-
vealed.

The powerhouse that will be the
Indian Spring golf team in the COM
ing Maryland State team matches
starting next Sunday was named
today by Acting Capt. Arthur Urban.
Without much question the Indian
Spring outfit looms as the most
powerful aggregation that has rep
resented any club around Wash
ington in many years, and already
they are being hailed as the sue
cessors to Congressional for the
State team championship.
Here is the group from whom
Urban will choose the members of
the club team: Professional Al
Jamison, Roger Peacock, Claude
Rippy, Jerry Hart, Russell Hole
baugh, Ralph Bogart, Mel Shipley,
Byrne Curtiss, Buddy Sharkey,
Arthur Urban, Bob Albertus, Billy
Shea, Lou Harrison and Eddie Bean.
Pairings for the initial team
matches will be announced in few
days. The team tourney probably
will see the big championship statue
remaining in the Capital as it has
done for the past eight years.
And when a fellow tops that tough
Indian Spring bunch, as young
Ralph Bogart did in qualifying for
the club championship, he can pat
himself on the back and say, boy,
you did all right" Bogart's 68, made
Saturday, stood up to win the quail
flying medal by four shots. Bob
Albertus had u and Volney Burnett
and Jerry Hart had TBS.
Army Navy Wins Team Match.
Nor is that Army Navy golf team
far short of being powerhouse in
its own right. The service club links
men licked a visiting team from
the Washington Golf and Country
Club, SO to %, at Army Navy. At
the same time at Anacostia the host
public links team sprung a real
surprise when they whipped East
Potomac Park, 211a to 201a. Tommy
Doerer led the scoring with a SUBJ
par Ct. Public Links Champ Andy
Oliveri won 3 points for the victors.
At Capital, veteran Bill Fender
CAST, a gent who has gotten into the
habit of providing links upsets,
touched off another with an 18TH
hole win in the club championship
over sorrel-thatched George Molloy,
one of the pro-tourney favorites.

Jeffra 3-to-1 Favorite
AGAINST Yack With
Odds Growing
Underdoe Tonight Spots
Bontom Title Aspiront
Pull in Weights

Originally supposed to liquidate
Joey Archibald's featherweight
championship business tonight at
Grifith Stadium, Harry Jeffra, the
underslung Baltimore pillow-pusher,
will have to content himself with
chord Of chopsticks on the swarthy
features Of one Baby Yack, and call
1t a tune-up for the title bout which
has been set back to the last week
Of the month. It will be an eight
round struggle.
At last reports Jeffra was 81
choice with the figures ascending
like the price of sugar. There was
even rumors of a knockout, but few
cared to risk few bob on one, and
were content to let Harry have the
decision.
Yack No Soft Touch.
Yack, Jewish boy now fighting
out of Canada, Is newcomer to
local fans, but should be spotted
without too much trouble by Ma
tional Boxing Association delegates
who will be arrayed at ringside en-
masse. The N. B. A. has picked him
with unflagging faith as ranking
bantamweight the last year and a
half, and evidently thinks we'll of his
ability. How Yack, 122 pounds with
Goldie Ahearn's foot on the scale.
will fare against a 126-pounder of
Jef1ra's ilk is problematical, but he'll
be no soft touch.
There are some-as usual, who
like his chances. They argue he
be tougher for Jeffra than Archibald
| because of his size-or lack of it
| and speed. Not one to stick his
| snout into a haymaker deliberately,
Yack may be too shadowy for Jeffra
to locate with his Wanted right
hook, and if there is no knockout he
may outfumble the Baltimorean into
| decision.
Heavyweight Bout Promising.
With the original feature dis
carded, the heavyweight tussle be-
tween Maynard Daniels and Howard
Landgraffe may steal the spotlight,
and there is good possibility that
Billy Bullock and Charley Gilley
will arouse enough excitement in
their six-rounder to keep the patrons
pacified. A knockout ending to
either of these bouts would come as
no surprise.
In the other engagement Billy
Banks, colored lightweight, and
Johnny Gonzales of Baltimore are
slated to 60 four rounds, with Al
Hart, ponderous Negro, down for a
similar distance with K. Ford and

Five Former Champs
Among Dozens With
Chance for Title
Woshineton's BrowneIl
On His Stick; StiedIe
SIugeine Fovorite
BY TOM SILER,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-Willie Tur-
mesa, dark-haired New Yorker, be-
gan defense Of his national amateur
golf title today against an inter-
national field including five former
champions, dozens of other top
ranking players and dark-horse as
pirants.
The field, totaling 1859 players, set
out to play 10 holes today over the
7,022-yard North Shore Country
Club course in the first half of the
36-hole qualifying test. The low
100 and ties complete medal COM
petition tomorrow.
Competent observers predicted
this years title fixture would be
a dog fight all the way, the entry
list including not only Americas
best, but also several highly-ranked
competitors from Canada, England
and Mexico.
Champs Opposition Formidable.
Rated on a par with Turnesa for
tltular honorS as the medal test
began were Johnny Goodman, of
Omaha, 1887 amateur champion and
winner of the national open on this
same course in 1888; C. Ross Somer-
vile, Canada, 1882 champion;
Charlie Yates, Atlanta's 1887 British
amateur champion; Ed Kingsley,
Salt Lake City, semifinalist last
year; Gus Moreland, Peoria, H.,
veteran of Walker Cup play and
the 1888 amateur titalist; Marvin
(Bud Ward, Spokane, Wash, who
finished one stroke back of the
leaders in the national open; Jack
Hoerner, Chicago; Fred Hass, New
Orleans; another Walker cupper,
and Pat Abbott, Altadena, Calf,
finalist last year and 1886 public
links titlist.
In addition to Goodman and Som
erVille, other former champions
looking for another amateur crown
were Johnny Fischer, Cincinnati;
Francis Ouimet, Boston, who won
his first amateur tital in 1914 and
his second in 1881, and Charles
Chick Evans, Chicago, champion
in 1916 and 1920
Few of these top-f1ight players
or any of the other entrants were
able, during practice rounds, to
conquer the tough par u for the
North Shore layout with it's IS sand
traps and tree lined fairways.
BrOwnell Playing Well.
Bobby Brownell the Washington,
D. c., representative, posted a rs,
three over par, yesterday in prac-
tice round.
Brownell played superb golf for
IS holes but on the three par-three
holes he carded DOGGY each time.
He failed to hit the green on any
of these three, thereby accounting
for his three shots above par p
for the long and well-trapped lay
out.
He was long off the tee all the
way and displayed a fine touch on
the greens.
One little known player who al
ready has the galleryites talking
is blond, specialized Frank Stiedle
of Little Rock, Ark, who has been
dazzling the spectators with his
booming tee shots. Many of the
other players already have con-
coded him driving honors after
watching him hit a few 30O-yard-
plus shots. IneXperience and an un-
certain short game, however, loom
as his chief handicaps in this event.
Qualifying rounds will be followed
by match play rounds of 10 holes
on Wednesday and Thursday. The
semifinals over SO holes are set for
Friday and the 36-hole champion
ship match Saturday.
