I say comfort" and pleasure" are just words-you can't know what they mean until you try on the fine new summer suits! They've dropped ounces off their weight without sac- rificing style or shape-retention. Wearing one is like being in shirt sleeves!
 The tendency in hot-weather suits is to eliminate the vest, which can't be seen under a double breasted or 3-button coat anyway.
 Dark Summer Shades
 You needn't look like cream-puff to be cool these days. Now very dark tones are most popular for feather weight fabrics. Such suits need less cleanings too.
 New pastel off-shades in dusty blues, greens, grays and tans will take a bow also. Greens are espe- cially good-stripes, too. P@s~s% s%%a;~

and started out with only three, and was continually borrowing irons and woods from me. McLemore brought only one tee, big wooden one with a string and tassel attached, and after every one of his lousy tee shots we had to spend ten minutes looking for 1t. When I offered him handful of my tees he explained that his was a lucky tee and that he couldn't play his real game with Tout it."
 The judge looked more sympa- thetic and Lawson continued.
 Judge, I finally lost my patience on the fifth hole. We had been out two hours and played only four holes. The rest of the players were backed up against us like the Mis- sissippi against levee. They had been shooting into us as if we were clay pigeons, trying to get by. On the fifth green, with a tricky putt, I took a minute to line it up and McLemore told me to hurry-that we were holding up the field. Judge, let him have it right there with my butter.
 "As he fell Willard yelled to him If you can't play anymore win the bets This was too much for me, judge, and let him have it too. They're out there on the green now, judge, and it's the first time they ever were on the green at the same time."
 Little immediately was acquitted and the verdict was roundly cheer ed by the spectators, most of whom had been in his gallery.
 Editors Note: In spite of this flight of fancy messrs. (pronounced "messers") Willard and McLemore are entered in the tournament and tee off at noon in a threesome with Lawson Little.)

JACOBS TIES
 UP' RODER|CK FOR TITLE GO
Britisher Must Give Arm- strong Chance if He
 Wins Crown
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff C0rrespondent)
 New York, April 7-CUP)-Mike Jacobs had business instead of pleas ure on his mind when he boarded the Queen Mary to bid Henry Arm- strong "bon voyage" today.
 Henry is sailing to London to risk his welterweight title against Ernie Roderick May 9, and Promoter Mike wants to be sure he does not leave it over there without a chance of getting it back. Jacobs cardinal rule in becoming fistic czar was to sign the challenger to an iron bound contract before he got a crack at. the champion. He wants Rod- erick' shame on the dated line be- fore Armstrong gives him shot at the 147-pound crown.
 Jacobs holds g five year contract on Armstrong that prohibits Henry fighting without his consent. His attorney drew up contract which Roderick will have to sign before Mikes permission will be forthcom- ing. The contract calls for Roderick to give Armstrong a return bout in this country within 90 days should he win the welter title.
 Takes No Chances
 There's no telling what will hap pen in London" Jacobs said. T have to protect myself"
 Accompanying Armstrong today were his wife and daughter; his brother Harry; his manager Eddie Mead and Mrs. Mead; Eddie Walker, another manager friendly with Mead; and Chalky Wright, a Walker managed fighter whJ will act as a Sparmate.
 Armstrong's left hand was in a splint. He injured the nuckle of his left forefinger when he kayoed Davey Day in 12 rounds week ago.
 I'm going to have electric treat ments on the boat, and don't fig- ure on beginning training until two weeks before the fight, SO you see it'll have about month to heal pefore I start using it again." he said. If it gets okay sooner. I might accept an offer for a week in a London music hall and fight some exhibitions in Scotland and Italy"
 The 5-round fight with Roderick IS scheduled at White City Stadium and Henry expects to train at Brighton, seaside resort where Tom my Farr is living now. He has been guaranteed $47,00O.
 Armstrong said about the coming fight:
 They tell me Roderick is a hard puncher and a stand-up fighter. Well I hope so, because work best against that kind"

 New York, April 7.-(UP).-Echoes from the Grapefruit League:
 Hardest working team I saw in Florida was the Detroit Tigers and the laziest, the Boston Bees. :. Del Baker has the Tigers hustling for all they are worth but he still hasn't solved that Rudy York prob lem. York may hit lot og home runs but the Tigers will never win a pennant with him catching. :. And York told Baker he wouldn't try to play the outfield. Detroit aiwyas looks better when Birdie Tebbetts is behind the bat.
 The anvil chorus had better change its tune about the Reds sec ond base combination. Billy Myers has been making plays that will open the eyes of his critics. :. Lonny Frey will be one of the most improved players in the National League. He has learned how to make that double play and is show ing more class than ever in the field. Frank McCormick's hitting slump has Reds Manager Bill Mo- Kechnie worried, and Les Scarsella will stick around as first base in- surance. s

Big things are expected from Wes- ley Terrell, whose arm operation was success. He appears faster than in several years.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent)

Asheville, N. C., April 7.-(UP)- At 1:15 today Lawson Little will be arrested on the Asheville Country club golf course and charged with assault and battery. He will be brought before 8 judge ard imnle- diately acquitted when he explains his provocation.
 He will tell the judge that he stepped on the first tee hoping to win the $5,000 Asheville open golf tournament and found himself paired with Henry McLemore, sports writer, and Frank Willard, cartoon ist who draws Moon Mullins.
 Whats wrong with that? The judge will ask, and Little, bracing himself against nearby bailiff, and brushing aside his attorney, will plead his own case.
 "Your honor," Little will begin, Sin the first place, it never was their honor. Neither one of them ever had better than an eight on any hole, yet they spent most of their time congratulating one an- other on lovely shots. Another thing, they were very hard to keep track of. McLemore always slices and Willard always hooks, and it was a nerve-wracking thing to walk down the fairway and realize that might get a skull fracture at any moment, and from either side"
 At this time, the judge being both a slicer and hooker, will frown at Little. Sensing that he has lost the sympathy of another duffer, Lawson will change his tactics and got per- sonal.
 Just Imagine It
 "Can you imagine, judge, trying to line up putt for a birdie while one of your playing partners is asking the other one what Lord Plusbottom is going to do the next day? Or how Emmy and Kayo and Kitty Higgins are getting along? And judge, can you imagine laying in a threesome where two of the members scream with laughter when one or the other of them gets in a trap or goes out of bounds or gets an unplayable lie? These gen. tlemen I played with did. The only time they were quiet was when one of them made a decent shot. They had a fifty cent Nassau bet which was much more important to them than by winning the $5,000 tourna- ment.
 Besides, judge, they didn't start out with enough equipment to play 18 holes of golf. MT. Willard had never heard of the IA club rule

 Stacks O slacks will be worn this season! That's because the mixed ensemble (sport coat and slacks) is so popular, and because slacks are SO attractive and answer so many purposes.
 Play the favorite-the style that fits high on the waist with a narrow belt of the same material. It will lead the field with its deep fattering pleats, and belt loops set low. The picture (above) tells the story. Such herringbone patterns will get away to the fastest start, with stripes run ming a close second.
 3-Button Suits Favored
 3-button single breasted suits, as pictured, will certainly get the call this year and for a long time to come. Youthful models are softly draped- that is, with deep chest, broad draped shoulders and easy fullness over the shoulder blades. The coat hangs straight in back, although the waist Is indented at the sides.
