Most Fun Cleaned From Golf
BY Band That Never Breaks
100, Witty Cox Believes

he could hold his own on the putting
green and he used to play the
animal game with Ullman and do
all right. He may have been the
worst. or there may be others worse.
But if there are We haven't come
across them.
Summons Called His Shots.
Stokes Sammons, who does every
thing else like a master, never could
lick the game of golf. But he could
call his shots. He used to play
friendly matches with Mrs. Hugh
Mackenzie for quite chunk OF
money. And if Stokes used a driver
to the sixteenth hole at Columbia,
a par 8 affair of about 140 yards
from the tee, every one thought 1t
was all right. Stokes always has
been that kind of fellow. He gets
as many laughs out OF golf as the
next man.
But Stokes reached his peak when
he was playing Mrs. Mackenzie one
day, and had the honor on the
eighteenth tee, with the match all
even. AS we recall it there was a
nice piece of change riding on that
eighteenth. Stokes looked down
that long fairway, with the club
house in the distance.
st can't carry that ditch" he said.
It was about 100 yards away. Tell
you what. I'll bounce my ball
across the bridge" And that's ex-
actly what he did. His lusty drive
shot, hit with all the power Stokes
packed, rolled across the bridge.
They halved the hole in Is and the
match ended all even.
buffers Have Most Fun.
But for sheer fun out of golf and
keen enjoyment you can't lick those
fellows who don't break 100. 1t
would shock them considerably If
that tee shot went straight and far,
and a score below 100 would cause
a change in mental attitude that
wouldn't help their pleasure in the
game. They whack EN- and top
'em and slice EN- without any
qualms or misgivings, and if they
get bad shot that's what they ex-
pect.
81 think a fellow who doesn't
know much about this game and
cannot play it gets more fun out Of
it than we gents who expect to hit
every shot right" said Cox. Maybe
Wilfred has something there.
don't think any one enjoyed golf
more than Pop Steward did before
the medicos told him to quit the
game. And no one gets more kick
out of it today than Stokes Sam
mons, although Stokes never has
broken so for nine holes on good
course. It's all in the point of view.

Size of Field for Meyer Davis

More bowlers than he reasonably
could expect is the surprise in store

Like lot of other people Witty
Cox and Jocko Miller, the irrepres-
sible boosters who put in a lot of
hard ticks for the Congressional
Country Club, get tired every once
in a while of hearing nothing but
brides and pars. So do we. It
gets to be more or less routine to
hear a good golfer tell how he went
over par on a couple of holes. while
he whacked out round of 10 or so.
who is the worst golfer you ever
SAW" we asked Witty.
IT don't know" said Cox. 1--we
looked at lot of bad ones"
Miller wasn't so diplomatic. He
had his ideas and he talked about
'em. Congressional is like lot Of
clubs" he said. There are lots of
golfers here who call it good day
when they bust 100 But I'd like to
see Jimmy Sullivan bust 100 some
day. Maybe he's the worst. I don't
know, but Jimmy would give his
right arm to play a really good
game"
Sullivan Has Company.
Jimmy Sullivan happens to be a
gent highly placed in the A. A. U.
He was an athlete himself as a
youngster. But athletics in other
fields do not always help fellow
in golf. Sometimes it works out the
other way.
Sullivan comes in here day after
day with scores of lis and l20 and
on up" grinned Jocko. ,"And he
tries like the dickens, too"
did you ever see Pop Steward
or Stokes Sammons play?" we asked
Cox. He hadn't seen either of them.
OF course, the folks around the Ma
tional Capital, or that part Of it
that plays golf, know these two
linksmen. Stokes is the fellow who
still has a standing offer to any
pro to hand him a check for 500
if the pro can teach him to break
so for nine holes of standard
length course. So far the check
hasn't been banked, and Stokes in
sists the offer remains open
Steward May Have Been Worst.
Pop Steward, who played cunny-
thumb golf with Bill Ullman, Harvey
Cobb and Avery Marks, possibly was
the worst. They used to give Pop
two strokes a hole and three, four
or five strokes on the long holes,
depending on how Pop was play
ing. Pop somewhere got the idea
that his right hand had to be
under the club. He drove with an
iron and he played all the long
shots with the same club. A long
shot, for him, was one of 40 yards.
Beyond that it was a marvel. But

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The
charitable gentlemen who make the
betting prices on fights ordinarily
are about as dumb as wood full of
foxes and room full of Einsteins-
mixed together.
Yet every once in a while they
seem to think it's Christmas, even
though the calendar doesn't agree,
and come up with set of odds that
are unreasonable.
That's why there was wild rush
around the Forty-ninth street bet
ting district today as those charitable
gentlemen came from behind their
white whiskers and realized they
were all out of limb in establishing
Billy Conn, the Pittsburgh pretty
boy, favorite at odds of l to that
he can dissolve Lee Savold in Madi-
son Square Garden tomorrow night.
Now Billy Boy should, by all in
dicationS, whip the corn country
clouter in their 12-round fuss, par
ticularly since Savold, at best, boasts
only striped record. But Lee has
proved he can hit, and the betting
commissioners have discovered long
before now that fighter who carried
the old equalizer in his fists isn't a
81 short-ender against anybody.
The fight means a lot to both
boys. The winner is a cinch to get
Joe Louis as ring partner some
time before next July. The Bomber
is all tied up until February. But
inasmuch as Joe and the winner
of tomorrow nights tea party should
draw lot of what the boys on the
beach call "the fresh" there is no
doubt that the Bomber will be more
than willing to oblige when date is
arranged.

George Abrams ties on the punch
ing pillows again tonight at River
side Stadium, this time for 10
round bout with an unpronouncable
spelled Henry Chmielewski.
1t Is the District middleweight's
first appearance in the old neigh
borhood since last summer when
he won split decision over the
Cocoa Kid in a rousing Suggest at
Griffith Stadium. On paper it adds
up to one of the sternest tests of
Georges maturing ring career and
the outcome will determine whether
he continues on to bigger and bet
ter things or takes bumpy detour.
Chmielewski holds one decision
over Abrams and threatens to make
it two tonight. He whipped him
last September at Milwaukee for the
edification of delegates to the Ma
tional Boxing Association conven-
ton, who showed their approval by
elevating him to sixth position on
the middleweightI scale, dropping
Abrams to ninth. Henry not only
intends to hold that gain but move
up still closer to the top.
Henry Is Durable Fighter.
A Pole who left his native land
before it was invaded, Chmielewski
is accustomed to the hard way Of
living and his ring style, follows
that pattern. Not as clever as
Abrams, perhaps, he appears to be
more durable, more aggressive and
if it be possible-more determined.
He has trained for a full 10-round
fight and will set a tempo designed
to wear down Georges resistance
and fortitude. A quick knockout is
not included in his plans. He
merely wants to win. -
Chmielewski's style is reminiscent
of Steve Mamakos' tactics, although
he is faster than the Greek lad and
q better ring general. The two are
close enough to provide . guide rule

NEW YORK, Nov. % (NA.N.AJ.
SO many odd and eerie incidents

possibilities and probabilities OF the
four big games left, Stanford and

This list includes four of the top
bowl nominees on trial-Stanford,

Councilman, head coach of the Chi
cago Cardinals, close friend OF
Clark Shaughnessy, head coach of
Stanford
I'D like to say" Councilman re-
marked, that Shaughnessy's spread
formation, worked out with
George Halas of the Chicago Bears,
is the hardest offensive formation
In football to stop. can understand
the trouble it gave the West Coast.
It has given every one else head
aches, as it carries more deception
than anything else.
1T is perfect system for reverses
and quick bucks. 1t doesn't call for
as much blocking. 1t is at its best
with line bucker, forward passer
and a fast ball carrier. Stanford
has all three. Especially fellow
named Frank Albert at quarter.
Even Texas A. and M. wouldn't
be any too safe against this style of
play if they happen to be on the
spot. I know how many hours and
days and weeks I've worked out ways
to stop this form of attack. but I
still can't sleep at night.
Boston College also knows how
to use it. 1t gives you the chance
to use both deception and power to
full advantage"

Eagles, Orioles Feud
After Washington
Bows in BrawI
Mere Aggressive Action
Due When Baltimore
!nvudes Tomorrow

Your Washington Eagles today
were in a full-fledged feud with
the Baltimore Orioles following a
5-4 trimming handed the Eagles in
an Eastern Amateur Hockey League
match last night in Baltimore. It
was a free-swinging brawl and much
the same is expected when the
Eagles attempt to square matters
tomorrow night at Riverside Sta
dium.
Norm Burns, who, in a spectacu-
lar splurge, has registered II goals
in eight games, produced two more
and an assist last night, his goal
which tied the score at 3-3 in the
second period touching of the big
gest battle of the game.
McTeer and Dyte Scrap.
Johnny McTeer, 223-pound WASH
ington defenseman, and the Orioles
Jack Dyte enjoyed private bit
of battling after that score, but
the fighting became family affair
when most of the Baltimore club
joined Dyte in chucking punches
at McTeer's ample frame.
Ned Vitarelli, 146-pound Balti-
more wingman who scored two goals
and set up two more with nifty
assists, spanked the Orioles, who
twice grasped leads only to have
the Eagles lock the score in the
first period and again in the second.
Before two minutes of the final
session had elapsed, though, Vita
relli connected to give the Orioles
a 4-3 lead, increased to So when
Piche netted shot at 1881.
