It's Dunkelberger-the flyweight
from North Carolina-against the
field, If you believe the talk that's
going around the swanky precincts
Of the Chevy Chase Club today as
"a golfers start match play in the
30th renewal of the classic affair
for the Taft and Sherman Cups.
Diminutive Bobby, who has put
on an inch or two, but apparently
hasn't added . pound In the last
year, Is the standout performer In
one of the best fields that ever began
match play in the historic old tour
ney. After his shower late yester-
day-also after he had shot q
scintillating 67-the Dunkelberger
youngster weighed in at just 119
pounds. But he is q lot Of golfing
man-perhaps the best out-of- town
importation ever to play at Chevy

Good Man In Bunkers.
The boys were talking about how
good he is, and one of them piped
up, Yeah, I understand he popped
the bali out Of five bunkers on the
first nine and got his pars." Bobby
himself wasn't sure 1t was that many,
but they can't laugh of that last
nine Of 80, where he blistered the
hide Of that tough par Of "a, and
breezed home with three brides on
the back side to tie the competitive
amateur record first set seven years
ago by Maury Nee, and tied the fol-
lowing year by Dick Lunn.
Yep, the Dunkelberger lad Is 4
lot Of golfer. There isn't so much
human being wrapped up in the
package that so consistently produces
sub-par golf. That is, II you judge
human beings by bulk. For Bobby

Armstron9-Jenkins Go
Best Card of Year
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
Special Correspondent of The Star


NEW YORK, May l6 (NANAO.-
Lew Jenkins, when he stopped Lou
Amhers, dropped the best outdoor
fight OF the year In Mike Jacobs
lap: Jenkins versus Henry Arm
strong. It's natural but Jenkins
thought of it first. Winning the
lightweight championship made no
impression on him. In his dressing
room, within five minutes after the
slaughter of Ambers, he said, ARM
strong is the one I want to fight"
There was none of the usual chat
ter about being a fighting cham
pion-of giving every man in the
lightweight division a crack at the
title. jenkins probably doesn't care
a thing about the lightweight divi-
sion or anybody in it. He wants
Armstrong and the money he can
make out of q shot with the bob
bing Negro.
This looms as a better fight than
either of the two others Jacobs has
lined up-Louis- Godoy and Max
Baer-Galento. Louis doesn't fig
ure to have as much trouble with
Godoy as he did the first time, pro-
vided Godoy elects to fight and not
merely to try to stay the limit. Baer
and Galento should be exciting but
crude-a couple of street brawlers
tossed into the ring.

Morquort Cove Jenkins Tough
Time Until FIottened

Just how good a puncher is he?
Well, save for his first two fights
around New York, when he was
fresh of the road, undernourished
and ill-trained, he has flattened
everybody he has fought. The
names on the list aren't impressive
until you get to Ambers, although
two of his opponents-Billy Mar
quart and Tippy Larkin-were being
hailed as lightweight title threats
until they encountered Jenkins.
Marquart not only gave Jenkins q
terrific fight but hurt him and had
him in trouble before Jenkins nailed
him with short righthand punch
on the chin that staggered him and
then flattened him. Larkin was an
easy prey, being knocked out in the
frst round before he scarcely had
landed punch.
In either case, however, the result
was the same Marquart and Larkin
were completely erased from the
lightweight picture.
Ambers, master ring craftsman,
generally was expected to box rings
around jenkins, tie him up, punish
him at inf1ghting, roust him around
and render his punches harmless.
Being durable and practically punch
proof, Lou also was expected to take
occasional punches and throw them
off, as he had thrown of the punches
OF Jimmy McLarnin, Tony Canzo-
neri, Pedro Montanez and AL Davis.
But Lou couldn't outlook jenkins
nor take his punches. The first time
jenkins hit him, there came over
LOUIS face the same look of sur
prise that you see on the faces Of
heavyweights the first time they are
hit by Louis. Ambers couldn't quite
believe that Jenkins could hit that
hard. But he can.

Goes Beck to Bot Nelson
For Lewis Counterport

On the mental side, I'll have to 60
back to Bat Nelson to find a coun-
terpart for him. Like Bat, he has
no nerves and no imagination. The
only thing that separates one fight
from another IN his mind Is that he
gets more money for one than he
does for the other. That he was
going to fight Ambers for the light
weight title didn't mean a thing to
him. That Ambers had gained tardy
recognition as q real champion and
was a 1-to-3 favorite over him
meant even less, if possible. Ambers
was just fellow with whom he was
going to keep an engagement at the
Garden.
His mental slant was reflected in
the way he fought that night. He
walked out calmly and coldly and
began to blast with both hands and
within 80 seconds he had Ambers
on the floor. When Ambers ap-
peared to have shaken of those
early punches and was beginning to
come on, jenkins wasn't in the least
dismayed. He simply went back to
work and stuck to it until Ambers
was helpless in his own corner in
the third round.

Neither Ever Has TockIed
Fiahter Of Others Type

Oeuk11S anu Armstrong are TWO
real fighting men. Jenkins is a two
handed fighter, jabbing and hooking
with his left and throwing shat
tering punch with his right. Arm
strong is one-man storm of leather
and blows in all directions from bell
to bell.
Jenkins never has faced a fighter
of Armstrong; type, because there
isn't another fighter like Henry
Armstrong never has faced a
puncher of Jenkins caliber.
THE first time Armstrong comes
swinging low into Jenkins, Lew will
tear his head off," Hymie Caplin
assured me.
I'm not so certain of that. But I'm
curious to see what happens when
Jenkins starts bombing the bobbing,
weaving, ceaseless little Negro.
jenkins Is a throwback to the
rawhide and barbed wire light
weights of another day. He is a
product of the COW towns, the plains
and the Army, and for all his stringy

rugged as most of the preceding

He has been licked, OF course. So

down the line. Fighting his way
