Publinx Do Not Have to Apologize for Champ; U. S
GA. Finally Gets Around to Permitting Municipal
Leaders in the National Amateur

, hardware salesman, was far off
ball, which leads to an inconsis-
stride.
He stands surprisingly close to the
tency which can easily find him
shooting a 60 one day and up in
the COS the next, but when the. ST.
Paul city champion has the feel he
is terrific.
Putting, and fine short game
formerly were his strong points, but
now he is rated a right-hand hitter
with unusual power in that hand.
Clark, the father of two sons, is
an all-arourd athlete. He was a
good basketball player, and now is
a bowler of note.
His 12-year-old son already has
shown signs of being conner In
golf.
Clark stands six feet . weighed
174 pounds when he started the
tournament over the fiat Rackham
course
After playing ITO holes in six days
most of. it under blazing sun in
the hottest weather Detroit has had
this year, he weighed 160.
All four semi finaliSts in the pub
lie links tournament have accepted
the invitation of the United States
Golf Associations executive COM
mittee to compete in the qualifying
round of the National Amateur.
This is the first time the U. s
G.. A. has extended such an invita-
ton to public links players 1t il
about time, and the government
body didn't go far enough. All pub
lie links players are entitled to the
right to attempt to qualify for the
Nation Amateur.
Barring players from the Nationa,
Amateur, because they cannot af-
ford the luxuries of private club

to apologize for their 1910 national
champion, Robert C. Clark, of st.

an in-and-outer.

Rings ''Insiders"
Favor Pastor To
"Take'' Billy Conn
Especial to the Democrat

New York, August Having
heard that Billy Conn was favored
over Bob Pastor in their fifteen
round meeting at the Polo Grounds
on Tuesday night, August 10, this
press agent visited Jacobs Beach to
learn from boxing men (managers,
trainers, seconds, etc. some of the
reasons why the Pittsburgh Kid
was given the edge over the New
York heavyweight.
1t came as something of a shock,
then, to discover that of the first
dozen boxing men questioned each
came up with approximately the
same reply = none favored the
chances of Conn at all; each pre-
dicted a Pastor victory ard some
went SO far as to predict a knock
out triumph for Betting Bob.
Here are listed a few of those
questioned and the reasons they
gave for picking Pastor:
Paul Damski manager Of Gum
mar Barlund)-A body puncher is
poison to long range hitter. Pas
tor is the best body puncher in the
heavyweight division. He has a
beautiful right under the neart and
smashing left hook TO the liver.
Conn isn't strong enough for good
fighter like Pastor Pastor keeps
after you all the time and it takes
a good puncher to keep him away.
Conn isn't that good a puncher.
Not Good Enough
Lew Burston (manager Pedro
Montanez, AL Davis)-Conn is a
good fighter but not good enough
for Pastor. Don't forget that next
to Joe Louis Bob Pastor is the best
heavyweight in the country and he's
got far too much on the ball for
Billy Conn.
Artie Rose (trainer)-Pastor uses
the kind of punches that will beat
Conn. His left jab is a honey and
it's even better than Conn's. His
body punching will ruin Conn.
Ray Arcel (trainer of many
championship me, this looks like
an easy fight for Pastor. What's
Conn got to lick him with? hear
people say Conn is too fast for Pas
tor. That's nonsense. Pastor is the
fastest heavyweight around.
AL Ramo (trainer)-It wouldn't
surprise me if Pastor wears Conn
down and then stops him. But if
it goes the distance, Pastor will
win the decision.
