Sarazen Aims Verbal
Haymaker at Slow
Links Players
Would Sturt En- at Down
Or Force EN- to Hurry
To Beut Darkness
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 13.-Slow- play
ing golfers are the bane of Mr.. Gene
Sarazen's life on the fairways.
The Brookield, Conn, farmer and
golfer, in his usual fortnight man
ner, swung verbal haymaker at the
snail-like shotmakers in the game
today.
1T takes nearly nine hours to
play 36 holes" he explained. TN
the old days you could do So in five
hours, or six at the most. Golf
simply must be speeded up.
Many players claim they take
lots of time because they are dis
turbed by the galleries. These
should learn to listen to a few yells
while playing. Golf is a national
game and as much the property Of
the gallery as the player"
He said he was annoyed most par
ticularly at players who hit a few
puts on the green after holing out.
I'm back there trying to hit a
spoon shot or long iron to the green.
They 60 on trying puts but wave
me to come on. 1t disturbs my con-
centration. have hunch some of
the boys know 1t bothers me. May
be it's the old needle department.
This may sound drastic, but the
only cure see is to take the slower
players and start them off in a
dawn patrol or tee them off so late
they'll be playing against the dark"
Sarazen, one Of the games fastest
players, rated four of his pro rivals
as the most speedy workmen-Sam
snead, Jimmy Demaret, Byron Mel
son and Henry Picard.

Max and Tony Figure to Toss
Punches to Fons' DELIGHT

Baer looked miserable against
Tommy Loughran and James j.
Braddock, yet with Primo Carnera
he was lethal and gaudy. Galento
was outelboWed and out-kneed by
Godoy, while thousands yawned, but
he put on great shows against Louis
and Lou Nova.
Since neither killer knows any
thing about science (and both OF
them care less), Baer and Galento
figure to collide head-on and heave
punches to the complete satisfaction
of the crowd, Baer with his famous
right. Tony with his notorious left.
There may be a little too much
wrestling for a perfect evening, but
even the wrestling should have its
points, with Tony gouging and but
ting away and Baer registering hor-,
ror and disgust in his finest Smith
field Hollywood manner.
We hope that nothing will happen
to either Of them before the fight,
and that something will happen to
at least one Of them before the fight

Weather Kills Golf Affairs.


Women's opening team matches,
postponed because Of heavy weather
yesterday on a day when rain, sleet
and snow fell alternately, will be
played April IT. 1t forces the gals
to play three days in a row, but it's
the best they can do in an unusual
weather streak that can toss any
tournament for loss at any time.
Thursday, April 18, they will coBl-
pete in the Miller Memorial affair
at Washington, and Friday, April
10, they'll play in the second series
of team contests.
And today the officials of the
Women's District Golf Association
have their fingers crossed hoping for
good weather for those three days
next week. If they don't have it,
their schedule will be further showed
back and they'll have a hard time
catching up.
The same weather shut off the
schoolboy matches scheduled at
four clubs. Some of the boys showed
up at Manor for the match between
Bladensburg and Blair, but they
didn't 60 far when snow started to
fall. Gonzaga, currently leading in
the tourney for the metropolitan
schoolboy title, refused to claim a
default when the Dewitt boys failed
to show up at Woodmont. We'll
try to arrange another date for that
match" said Tommy Fitzgerald,
Purple captain. 1--WE don't want any
match by default" Nice going,

Stead's Appointment
Answers D. T.. Plant
Against u. ). 6. A.
Becomes First Capital
Man in Years Placed
On Major Committee

For the first time in several years
a representative Washington golfer
has position on one of the i'm
portant committees of the United
States Golf Association.
Robert Stead, jr., golf chairman
at the Chevy Chase Club, is on the
Committee on Sectional Affairs of
the U. S. G. A. for 1910, according
to the list of committee appoint
ments announced by the national
links body. Also on the committee,
representing Maryland, is Robert
Mclean. jr, of Baltimore.
Stead's appointment comes about
as result of insistence of the Dis
trict Of Columbia Colt Association
on appointment of local man on an
important U. S. G. A. committee,
and the coincidence that this atti-
tude came along at the same time
the U. S. G. A. decided to broaden
the scope of its committee work by
including representatives of all
States.
Neglected in Another Spot.
But Washington has been neglected
on the Public Links Committee. No
Washington man is named on the
group which handles public links af-
fairs in 1910. Nearest representative
is Preston A. Pairo of Baltimore.
Tommy Doerer, jr., served as Wash
ington representative last year.
Out of the lengthy list of COM
mittee appointments announced to-
day Francis D. Ouimet of Boston,
first amateur to win the open cham
pionship-back in 1913-and later
twice winner of the amateur title
emerges as the fair-haired favorite
for committee work. It's an odd story
and one that has considerable drama
behind it. Back in 1917 Francis, then
running a sports goods store in
Boston, was outlawed by the U. S.
G.. A. in one of it's moves to purge
amateur golf. The U. S. G. A. didn't
call Francis pro, but because he
was connected with the sales end of
golf they forbade him playing in the
amateur title tourney. Francis
promptly went West at the invitation
of the Western Golf Association, and
played in their tourney.
Now Keeps Ouimet Busy.
But through the years the United
States Golf Association, recognizing
the fine character Of the man
Ouimet, has sought his services con-
sistently. Today Francis, who has
become a wealthy man, is on four
U. S. G. A. committees. He serves
on the Rules of Golf, Championship
Implements and Ball and Museum
Committees this year.
Serving on the Green Section
Committee are DR.. John Monteith
jr., and DR.. M. A. Mccall, both OF
Washington. DR.. Monteith is In
charge of the Arlington Turf Gar
dens, one of the chief experimental
centers for golf course turf.

TORONTO. April 13.-Manager
Lester Patrick Of the New York
Rangers, who can keep as straight
q face rs the next Jester, brought
up his six-game prediction for
hockey's Stanley Cup series again

There is just a possibility" Pat

I'm that case the clubs train will

Odds Makers Favor Rangers.
Although this game-and the sew
enth next Tuesday If 1t is needed
will be played on the Maple Leafs
own ice and the Toronto players are
considerably fresller than the New
Workers. there was no denying the
fact that the Rangers needed only
one victory to end the series.
Inls was good enough for the odds
makers. They were quoting 3 to
and S to 3 that the Broadway Blues
finish 1t tonight and to that the
Rangers would win even If forced tc
60 another game.

All Of Toronto's players are in as
good shape as when they started and
will enter tonight's contest at full
strength.

Companion Dog Title
Rated as Valuable
As Champion
Clinic Reveals Public
More Appreciotive Of
Pure-Bred Dogs

Dog lovers and kennel club mem
bers were the guests Of the National
Capital Kennel Club last night at
an open meeting at the Lee House,
when E. w. Leach, dog show super
intendent Of Minneapolis. held one
of his kennel clinics. Leach has
beer conducting these symposiums
all over the country In addition to
experimenting about two shows
month In the Southern and Mid
western States.
While Leach touched on a num-
ber Of topics Of general interest to
the breeder Of dogs, his main theme
was the education of the public as
to the value and services of the
pure-bred dog. He pointed out that
an educational process was going on
all the time. While it took exactly
half century to get 100000 dogs
registered in the stud books of the
American Kennel Club, at the pres
ent rate of registration, the second
million would be registered in some
what under 10 years. This accelera-
ton of the ownership of pure-bred
dogs Is largely due to conscious
and unconscious educational forces
at work.
Ribbon System Explained.
To illustrate his talk, Leach had
a series of large posters and placards.
One Of especial interest was a life
size diagram of a dog with all its
exterior parts labeled. Another chart
graphically explained the system
whereby ribbons are awarded at
dog shows.
Perhaps two of the most interest
ing thoughts Leach left with his
hearers were that the c. D. (com-
panion dog title was as valuable
to the dog owner as the Ch., cham
pion, and that while many people
give much thought to how to raise
better dogs, few persons realize how
much dogs are doing to raise bet
ter people.
Louk Tells OF Show.
Gordon Louk, president Of the Ma
tional Capital Kennel Club, called
the attention of the audience to the
fact that at the Capital show on
April Is and 26, entries for the
obedience test classes are free pro-
vided the dogs are entered in al
least one of the regular classes. Tc
encourage the local exhibitors-.ano
the state OF dog ownership being
what it is in the District, there
should be many such-a sterling
silver trophy is offered in every
local class.
Entry fee for the local classes is
ST, provided the dog is entered ir
at least one Of, the regular classes
Entries must be in the hands of the
superintendent, the Foley Corp, by
