Ambers Eager to Make
Armstrong Unhappy
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (N.A.N.A).
Luigi d'Ambrosio Of Herkimer,
N, Y, who is employed by a group
of businessmen to haunt Henry
Armstrong at regular intervals, will
report for duty at Madison Square
Garden on Friday night of this week
and annoy the little colored man for
IS rounds or less, at something bet
ter than union rates.
Mr.. dAmbrosio, more widely
known as Lou Ambers, is Mr.. Arm
strongs personal scourge A couple
of years ago, little Henry possessed
three world championships-feath-
erWeight, lightweight and welter-
weight. He resigned the feather
weight crown voluntarily, and now,
thanks to Ambers, he has only one
title left.
This lone remaining bauble-the
cease ace as they say along Broad
Way-is the welterWeight champion
ship. Having taken Armstrong S
lightweight title last summer, Mr.
Ambers will attempt to embezzle the
WelterWeight tiara as well, leaving
Mr. Armstrong as bald as a null
berry, dynastically speaking
This attempted decoronation finds
the betting pretty even, with Arm
strong 7-to-5 favorite in some
books

The
SPoRTLIGHT
Hardest ToiIers Last
Longest on Diamond
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK, Nov. 81 (N.A.N.AD.-
ITO many young ballplayers are
afraid of overworking themselves"
Frank Frisch said. They're looking
for days off and even vacations,
claiming it's a long haul from the
start of the training season to the
end of the regular campaign.
Maybe they're right and I'm Just
an old-fashioned fellow-but notice
the ballplayers who lasted the long
est were those who worked the hard
est. They kept their arms and legs
In shape by banging away from
spring to fall and never looked for
layoff.
Look at Cobb-Speaker-Ruth-
Maranville-all those fellows who
were great ballplayers and went on
day after day. year after year. Why,
you couldn't have kept any Of them
out of ball game with shotgun
unless he was crippled. And how
they drove themselves!
And the best pitchers always have
been the ones that worked in turn
or out of it and were as willing to
finish up games as they were to
start them. I wasn't around when
Cy Young was pitching but I know
his record-22 years and 511 VIC
tories"
He claims he was short changed,
at that" said. He says he really
won 512 games but. they took one
victory away from him and gave it
to another pitcher. Can you imagine
beeflng over one more victory-at
this late date?"

Cliff Spencer Leaves
For Miami onFirst
Leg Of Golf Tour
Beaver Dam Pro Rutes
Good Chance for Coin;
M. A. Pros to Meet

OF on what for most golf pros is
their big adventure of the season
Cliff Spencer, Beaver Dam pro and
Middle Atlantic P. G. A. champion,
left Washington today for Miami
and the start of the winter links
tour. Cliff expects to reach Miami
tomorrow night, giving him more
than two weeks of practice over the
Florida courses before the $4,000
Miami open tourney starts. Florida
golf is different. You don't take big
divots from that sandy soil and the
putting is altogether different. The
putting green grass has a decided
grain and knowledge of the greens
is necessary.
Those are the reasons Spencer
wants to get to the scene of the
Miami tourney we'll in advance of
the opening of pro COLTS winter tour.
Equipped with a strong game and
in the middle of the best putting
streak he ever has enjoyed Spencer
can win some money on the winter
tour. He isn't as far from the top
as you might think, and he'll pick up
experience that will help in next
summers campaign.
Hardy souls thronged the golf
courses around Washington yester-
day but tournaments were few. At
KenWood Dr. L. B. Gaffney and J. S.
Vance tied in blind bogey affair,
Gaftney scoring 89-14-75. while
Vance had 91-16-75. F. E. Car
penter was third with 90-l2-78.
John Dibbs was fourth with 9l-12-
70.
Middle Atlantic pros, sans Cliff
Spencer, Bob Barnett and Leo
Walper, all of whom either are in
the South or headed that way, will
gather Wednesday at Indian Spring
to talk over the annual meeting of
the national P. G. A., and play,
weather permitting, in a little in
formal golf tourney. Ralph Beach,
preXy of the mid-Atlantic group,
will talk about the annual meet
ing and they'll null over plans for
next year. The sectional annual
meeting will be held next spring,
when they'll probably turn the presi-
dency over to local pro.
Down at East Potomac Park Tom
my Doerer went ahead with con-
struction of several new tees and
promised more greens next year
similar to the new fourth on Course
B, which has been built in the past

Ing about laying off for year and

advise him to lay off a year. 1
never saw one of those fellows who
laid of for year come back with
anything on the ball. But I have
hunch that if Diz goes about his
training right next spring, he might
come back with plenty.
What a great pitcher he was!
When there was game to be won
that meant something, he always
wanted to pitch it. I remember the
night before the last game of the
World Series in 1884 in Detroit. 1
thought Id get a rise out of him
and did. I said to him:
"Diz, think Bill Hallahan is lust
the fellow to take these Tigers to-
morrow. 1 was watching him warm
up little bit today and he looked
right. Yes, sir, I guess it will be
Hallahan tomorrow
Why. Frank, he said, you know
that OF Diz is just the one to pitch
that game. You know you wouldn't
pitch anybody else
so just laughed and told him,
sure, he was going to pitch. And
do you remember the game he
pitched-with all that row going

RidicuIes Overwork Theory
Of Dizzy's Lame Arm.

Sure I can" Frisch said. "It was
that spirit that made him a great
pitcher-made him win those
5l1 or 512 games. He never grew
tired of wilmington working. He
wanted to be in there every day he
could, giving them everything he
had.
alexander was that kind of
pitcher, too. No manager ever had
any reason to complain that Aleck
loafed on him. He knocked around
q little between games but when it
was his turn to pitch he was ready
and when it wasn't his turn but the
ball club needed little help he
was right in there giving it all the
help he could.
"They say that Dizzy Deans arm
buckled because I overworked him
in st. Louis" Frank said. That's
laugh. Why, when Diz was right
you couldn't keep him out of ball
game. He wanted to pitch all the
time. l never had to urge him to
pitch-and half the time he didn't
even wait to be asked.
TT wasn't the pitching he did
through 1884 and 1885 that hurt his
arm. I'd like to know what really
did it,"
According to Diz. coming back to
pitch too soon after he suffered that
foot injury in the All-Star game in
Washington in 1887" I said. HE
said that, trying to favor his left
foot, he distorted his pitching mo-
ton and put an added strain on his
arm"
That sounds reasonable" said
Frisch. But he didn't pitch for
eight days after he was hurt, l re-
member-and I also remember that
it was his idea he was ready to
pitch then"
