 New Haven May Irish Eddie Dolan of Waterbury clearly demon strated to 5000 fight fans in New Haven ..rena here tonight that brains, coupled with prime fighting physical condition will triumph over brawn and the old nrgumeny Of boxer versus slugger" the boxer wins again. In as fine an exhibition of boxing which he varied now and then with little fashioned toe to toe, swapping of Sunday" punch- es Dolan easily outpointed Oscar Suggs, the New Haven negro who defeated Dick Turcotte of Water- bury with the aid of plenty of weight and wallop.
 Dolan. a light-puncher for a well terweight had the experienced and solid-built Suggs more than @ little dizzy trying to find him, aside from the frs round when Suggs caught up with Dolan momentarily to drop him in corner with two hard punches, but Dolan was up without a count and won handlly from there on. His work SO i'm. pressed Referee Billy Conway of Hartford that the ring official gave Dolan eight perfect rounds. 70 to 3l which was q bit oil the generous side, the writer thought, but there was no question about the winner when eight rounds had been fought. Then again, Dolan spotted Suggs six pounds, l48 to l42, which was no small advantage to the hard-hit- ting negro who used 1t in knocking Dolan down once.
 Following the bout, announce . ment was Lldae that the Water bury southpaw was matched with Louis Kid Cocoa for the state wel- terweight championship in l5 round bout at New Haven May Is, Despite the announcement, how ever, there is some doubt as to the bout going through.
 Hard Fight
 Johnny Bellus, the 90 year old Polish lightweight, punched out a close decision over Julie Kogan of New Haven in an eight round slug. gin bee which closed the show, Kogan, losing five of the first six rounds. because of -pedaling and Bellus body attack finished in whirlwind fashion, won the last two rounds, but started too late to get himself a draw Bellus looked like sure winner in the sixth. but Ko- gan came to life with series of left hooks that disturbed the from jawed Bellus quite bit, The ref- cree gave the go to Bellus 37 to 34 which was just about kosher In the opinion of most ringslders.
 Called Even
 Angelo Rodano, the baby -facet 17 year old Norwslk kid had a clear. cut edge over Mickey Williams o! New Haven in q sizzling SIX rounder but the best he got was an ever Stephen nod Scoring nine coun lknockdown in the second and fin inshing up strong, while doing 0 percent of the leading Rodan' seemed like a sure winner by threv points or so, hut the official ilot was draw. as the patrons hootet for quite some time.

BY JIMMY DEMARET Winner of the Masters

A golfer desirous of getting the most out of his game should con- stantly try to improve 1t.
 Ask the chap who shoots 100 if he is interested in bettering his score, and nine times out of 10 he will tell you he isn't.
 But let him shoot a 95 and he is thrilled.
 So if you want to get the kick golf offers, you must practice, study the game and try to lower your score.
 There are two types of club play CTS. One wants to improve. The other plays for exercise.
 The one who wishes to lower his score seeks competition.
 He is never satisfied with his score .. .. worries If he has a poor one. He can always go back over his finest round point out that If he had not missed 8 putt on No. 8, he would have had an 85 in place of an 86.
 That player will go somewhere in golf.
 The man who plays for exercise isn't interested ill his score and his score and his game shows 1t.
 He comedies himself four foot puts.
 He tees up on fairways.
 He doesn't mind taking 10 on a hole gets laugh out of it.
 This type of player gets something out of golf to be sure. but not the benefit he could obtain if he at tempted to improve his game. SWING OF THE FOREARMS CANNOT BE OBSTRUCTED
 Many seeking to improve experi- ment. They change their stance grip, and clubs. Often they change for the worse. but the fact they are trying to improve shows they are in- terested.
 They make many mistakes, but can't miss correcting fault here and there.
 Try an easy, relaxed practice pivot.
 If you feel free and at ease, you probably have the proper stance and balance.
 You can break tension by slightly bending your knees during the ad- dress.
 While the use of the hands and forearms are the first fundamentals of the swing. the hips and shoulders cannot be neglected, for they must turn at least enough to take them out of the way of the hands and forearms. There cannot be any ob- struction to the smooth, flowing swing of the forearms.
 The amount of turn naturally de- bends on the type of shot.
 The wood club and long iron nec- essitate a considerably longer turn with a fuller backswing than the ap- preaching irons.
 ALL PUTTING STROKES HAVE SAME BASIC FUNDAMENTALS
 Developing a putting style is up to the individual, but all putting strokes have the same basic Fundamentals For 6 putt to roll true and firm, the ball must be stroked squarely with the blade going in straight line in the direction desired
 A slight cutting across will put slice English on the ball, causing 1t to rim the cup or curl away.
 The most accurate putterS advo- cate very short backswing close to the ground, and a smooth forward

 This type of stroke reduces the margin for error
 My sincere advice to those wishing to improve their game is to consult their professional.
 That saves time and more trouble Every professional wants to have good golfers at his club.
 He wants his members to improve. It is matter of pride with the right thinking professional.

Election Of 'Stooge'
10 Avoid Third Term
General Says Roosevelt
Couldn't Do 1t; Both
Agree on One Point
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 22.-The posi-
bility Of having "a stooge" in the
White House to circumvent opposi-
ton to presidential third term was
debated yesterday by Secretary of
the Interior Ickes and Gen. Hugh S.
johnson.
The suggestion that a President,
after serving two terms, might be
able to arrange for the election of
somebody to act for him was voiced
at the University of Chicago's Round
Table broadcast.
II have no objection to a third
term If 1t is not consecutive" re-
marked Gen. Johnson, former N. r,
A. administrator, who now is a COL
umnist. during a discussion of the
third-term issue.
Mr.. Ickes commented:
Il think 1t is comfortable out
this distinction between third con-
secutive term and third term after
an interval, because if a man is seek
Ing to get control of our institutions
and perpetuate himself and his poll
cies in Office, it would be perfectly
easy for him to elect a stooge
at the end of his second term and
then come back in after that in
terval."
Couldn't Elect Stooge.
I'd like to see Mr.. Roosevelt at
tempt to elect stooge in the COM
ing election" Gen. Johnson retorted.
II think he could be elected, but
don't think he could elect stooge
and doubt very much if any Presi-
dent could. But that is no out
'You can look no farther than
Washington, D. c., to see a Presi-
dent who has accumulated to him
self, by patronage and by grants
OF funds, more power than any
President ever had in two terms and
If he could do that in two terms,
what he wouldn't do in three Id
hate to say
Declaring President Roosevelt has
acquired no undue powers during his
two terms, Secretary Ickes said:
"As I see it, there was example
after example of legislative en-
croachment on the Executive power
during the last seven years. It
wasn't so much the courts, since the
Supreme Court decided to 60 back
to the Constitution itself to decide
whether law is constitutional or
