King Of Pro Linksmen
Will Earn Crown
In Miami Meet
Picard to Enter TussIe
With Slim Lead Over
Nelson for Honor

It's long, dreary trail for the pro
golfers this fall, without the usual
Pinehurst and Augusta tournaments
to liven up their job of carving par
apart for cash. But they'll catch
up with par again at Miami in De-
cember, when they start the winter
circuit with a $4,000 open cham
pionship.
And not the least interesting
phase of that big-money tournament
will be the fact that during it one
man will be crowned the top pro-
fessional golfer of the year You
might have thought that Byron Mel
son would be that; that Byron, be-
cause he won the National and
Western Open championships and
was runnerup in the P. G. A. tour
ney. would be cast as the top pro
golfer of the year.
Close Race for Title.
But the pros decide their best
man in different fashion. They de-
eide him on points, and even though
Byron has won more major titles
this year than any other man, he is
tagging on total points behind Henry
Picard, the Hershey sharpshooter.
Henry is the P. G. A. champion
and since the Professional Golfers
Association puts up the Vardon
Trophy, which goes to the top golfer
of the year. they give flock OF
points to the man who wins the
P. G.. A. championship. incidentally

Connoughton Of Georgetown
Exosperoted Lou Little.

Lou Little told me about a case
like that the other day.
DO you remember a big kid
named Connaughton I had when I
was coaching at Georgetown" Lou
asked
1t wasn't hard to remember Con-
naughton. He was an all-America
in 1926.
That's the kid" Lou said. well,
I want to tell you something funny
about him. Before went to George
town I saw him playing on prep
school team and, big as he was then,
the other kids were pushing him
around and showing him. Why,
Ralph Furey, whom I didn't know
then-Was playing on the other team
and he was hosting this big Con-
naughton around and dumping him
and you know Ralph is only little
fellow So I didn't think much of
Mr.. Connaughton
"A couple of years later I went to
Georgetown to coach and here was
Connaughton. a sophomore by now,
on my football squad. He hadn' t
changed bit Big as he was, he was
terrifcally fast and I used to get
sore at him because, with all his
natural stuff. I couldn't get him to
play football the way he should
have.

Gallagher Not Likely
To Find Simon Good
Leaning Post
Heftier Abe Threatens
To Bottle Infiehting
D. c. Boxer Tonight

The mountain will come to
Mohamet Marty Gallagher tonight
when big Abe Simon, $50 pounds Of
heft on the hoof, steps into the ring
at Turner's Arena to make passes
at Martins honest Irish pan. 1t will
be a 10-round bout, topping what
Promoter Goldie Ahearn is pleased
to call an all-star card. The first
bell is scheduled to ring at $50.
This will be Simon's first visit to
the village, but not the last if he
succeeds in his avoWed intention Of
making two caulifloWers grow where
only one blossomed before, for the
winner has been promised a match
with blubbery Buddy Baer. On paper,
Simon rates a slight edge over
Gallagher unless the Gaelic warrior
has altered his style radically.
Earlier in the week Gallagher
abandoned his pet pose of infighting
for a fling at long-range lombard
ment, hopeful of putting the full
weight of his 212 pounds behind his
punch. but the idea was incompatible
with Martins juvenile ring training
and was abandoned. Tonight he'll
meet his equal at midriff mauling,
for Simon likes to move into close
quarters and try to ring the bell
with his sledge-hammer right.
This presents quite a problem to
the District gladiator. who has be-
come accustomed to leaning on the
nearest opponent and resting his
puppies while hammering away with
both hands, for Abe figures to do
most of the leaning tonight.
The Ground semifnal pits Billy
Bullock against Ray Ingram, both
of this city, and for plain rough and
whacky business it may overshadow
the main go. Both are wild fist
fingers and if somebody gets hit
somebody is going out.

Publicity Helps Grid
Sturs Find Selves
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 (NA.NA).-
Every once in a while somebody
sounds off with a warning on the
effect of publicity on the boys who
play college football Some of the
warnings are sincere and should be
needed. But as one who has given
his share of praise to college play
ers over a span of more than 80
years, would say that the head
lines do very little damage.
Now and then you'll find boy
whose view of life may be distorted
by the publicity he has had-but
such cases are not likely to be per-
manent. When boy gets out of COL
lege he soon realizes there is lot
more to the business of living than
kicking, running or passing a foot
ball and, in most cases, quickly ad-
justs himself to the broader scheme.
And every once in while hear
of boy who got real lift out of
the things that were written about
hin-a lift that sustained him over
the first few years he was out of
college and accounted in some meas
ure for his success because it gave
him the confidence and poise he had
lacked before,

Fort Myer Artillery
Amazes New York
Al Horse Show
Spectacular Moneuvers
Thrill Crowd; Big Field
Seeks Irish Trophy
By BILL WHITE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Army's
greatest fault is modesty.
At least the bowling New York
crowds that have sat spellbound
through the amazing maneuvers OF
the famous Gray Horse Battery OF
Fort Myer, Va, in the Saith National
Horse Show won't agree with Capt.
Robert L. Taylor, commander Of the
unit, who says:
"It isn't so very dangerous"
Then he admits, in the next
breath, that the mistaken judgment
of one man, responsible for his two
horse team in the 48-horse outfit
that gallops like mad pulling its
carts and guns around Madison
Square Garden in amazing maneu-
vers, might be fatal to either horses
or riders.
One Signal for Maneuver.
1t takes a solid year of practice
to fit one of the "a men to ride in
the event wherein $4,000 pounds
| (estimated of horsef1eSh toss tam
bark into spectators laps and gun
wheels scrape the paint off the side
walls as they rumble through
breath-taking performance.
The Gray Horse Battery is cur
erntly the Horse Shows topmost
sensation-and it all started as a
recreational feature for artillery
men. The maneuver has been so
thoroughly practiced that it takes
only one signal from the captain
who isn't allowed in the arena-for
them to go through the entire-and
very complicated maneuver. It's
the Army's boast that no one can
diagram the maneuver from mem
DRY after watching it, even a half
| dozen times.
Headlining the program in today's
two performances-after smart
Gotham society almost took the play
away from the horses the opening
night and made a fine stand yester-
day-will be the Irish Army chal-
large trophy competition.
Competition Wide Open.
The competition will be wide
open this year, for the rest of the
field is certain to wage thrilling
battle to keep the United States
Army team from retiring the cup.
| The Army trlumphed in 1885 and
| 1886 and then in an amazing rever-
sal of form, a civilian team bested
the finest the Army could offer.
In 1887 a team of three, owned by
Mrs. Julius Bliss, captured the cup
and then in 1888 the same horses,
but owned then by her son, Philip j.
Bliss, took the cup.
| Since then the Bliss stable has
been broken up and that leaves the
Army team as featured competitors
in the contest, for the rules say that
the cup to be retired must be won
three times bv the same exhibitor.
In this event, which is the only
one in the show in which civilian
riders can compete against the in
ternational military riders. the Aud
will Stable of Mrs. William j. Ken
nedy of Dedham. Mass, and the
Maytop Stables of Dr. and Mrs. Ed
gar Mayer of Port Chester are ia
vored to give the Army team 60

Straight Off the Tee
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Witty Cox is getting to be quite
sporting character. Not that tall
Wilfred hasn't always been a good
sportsman about everything he has
done. But when you take a guy
away from the somewhat rugged
atmosphere of place like Dyker
Beach, in the darkest Wilds of Brook
Ign, and set him down among the
foxes and rabbits. the crows and
skunks and fish that inhabit the
Congressional Country Club, it does
something to the sporting blood
that is inherent in every man, and
particularly in fellow whose only
previous glimpse of fox was
through the cage in ZOO.
Wilfred can WELD a shotgun. That
is when the quarry isn't too fast
on the getaway He isn't SO hot on
birds on the wing, but put a sitting
rabbit in the way of Nimrod Cox S
mighty gun and that bunny can
kiss life good-by. Wilfred will bag
him sure as shooting. That's the
story to hear Joe Pies tell it. Joe

greSsional. and it wasn't long after
Witty took over the pro berth at
that club that Joe initiated Witty
into the mysteries of how to shoot
game birds.
Witty did all right as long as the
birds flew straightaway. When they
crossed, as they do at the No. posi-
ton in skeet, he proved an excellent
stooge for the powder manufac-
turers. I mean when the bird
crossed Witty up by crossing him,
so to speak, he burned the ozone
with powder and shot, and the bird
went away from there unscathed.
Great Skunk Hunter.
But those skunks? All. there was

Henry licked Byron on the 9th hole
in the P. G.. A., SO there isn't very
much between them in the matter
of skill
AS the situation stands, with one
tournament to go, Picard leads in
the chase for the Vardon Trophy
with 459 points. Nelson is only 5
behind with 454. A high finish for
either one will clinch the trophy
and the 1000 bucks that the P. G. A
gives to its top pro golfer of the
year. Sam Snead won it last year
when he collected 20-grand in purses
and prize money But Sam is out of
it this year. He hasn't done too
we'll.
Sharkey Starts Circuit.
1t hasn't been so many years ago
that the pros had only a few scat
tered tournaments in which to play
during the winter Nor was the
money so heavy. But around 10
years ago Hal Sharkey, then sports
editor in Newark, got the idea that
a regular circuit OF tournaments
would be the ticket. Hal organized
it and the winter tournament circuit
has gone on to become the biggest
golf show of the year.
Maybe some Of the younger pros
don't know about that. But it's
true. Hal Sharkey and later Bob
Harlow are the men who made the
pro winter tournament game what
it is today They'll cut up around
100000 in purses between early
December and early April, which
gives you an idea of what Hal Shar-
key started.
Every young pro who gets a cut
of a big purse should give a silent
prayer for Hal, who died last spring
