was the first time I'd ever played
with him.
"He still has the most beautiful
swing i've ever seen. He gets that
full body turn. and he gets MI of
his body from his heels on up into
every shot he hits. Because 1t is
such a great swing, he's retained 1t
even though he's played hardly any
competitive golf in the past 10 years.
Regard for Jones Great.
III Bobby still were playing, he'd
still be winning.
Maybe he wouldn't win AZ often
as he did in his heyday." Jimmy
continued. THE games speeded up.
But even though he and Walter
Hagen might not be such standouts
if they were at their peaks today,
they'd still be cut above any one
else In the game"

With the feminine team matches,
proving ground of women's golf
around Washington, due to get un-
der way within fortnight con-
siderable conversation is going the
round among the skirted players
regarding the nucleus of what may
be surprise outfit in the first team
matches and one that, with q break
or two, might conceivably be quite
a problem for the champion Chevy
Chase team to solve.
That outfit is the rejuvenated
Kenwood team, considerably
strengthened over the winter and
looming today as one of the poten-
tial threats in the contests due to
start April IL. The veteran Betty
P. Meckley, who started her win
ming ways in women's golf around
Washington q decade ago, will be
the backbone of the Kenwood out
At.
Last year Kenwood did not enter
teams in any class. declaring they
couldn't get together representative
teams and so would not attempt
to play. But it's entirely different
this year. Mrs. Meckley, tried and
true veteran, will be aided by such
former Indian Spring members as
Mrs. H. w. Sharpe and Mrs. J. H
Bulloch. Another newcomer to
Kenwood is Mrs. H. j. Cooper. To-
gether with Mrs. A. A. McEntee
and Mrs. j. c. Dale, that Kenwood
outfit looms as one of the strong
teams of the year. Perhaps it won't
be as strong as the Indian Spring
team which Chevy Chase licked last
year to win the first team matches
but 1t can go a long way.

I Feather Title Fight

Contract, Ready to Sign
Another battler
By LEWIS r. ATCHlsON.


All Promoter Joe Turner needed
today was an okay from Jimmy
Perrin's handlers to 60 ahead with
plans for featherweight champion
ship bout at 0riffith Stadium, May
Is. and he expected the green light
early this afternoon.
Fly In the ointment was Lew Ray.
mond, New Orleans promoter. who
nursed Perrin through the rough
preliminary stages Of his career and
showed him into the spotlight of ma
tional recognition. Raymond wants
to promote the bout between hts
protege and Petey scalzo in New
orleans.
Turner, however, held the trump
cards. In the event Perrin declines
the engagement, which isn't likely,
1t will be offered one of the two
highest ranking contenders, Simon
Chavez or Harry Jeffra. II neither
cares to take the match, the Ma
tional Boxing Association, which has
unseated former champion Joe Arch
ibald onicially. probably will wait
80 or so days and name Scalzo title
holder. Turner still will hold first
claim on his services.
Turner Won't Release Scalzo.
As the matter now stands, Perrin
can get Is per cent Of the gross gate
receipts. plus three. round-trip rail-
road tickets from New Orleans If he
takes the fight. Scalzo, in town yes
terday with his agent. Peter Reilly
! signed at similar terms. If Scalzo Is
named champion, he will receive
37ia per cent of the receipts for his
services, the title-holder's standard
cut, while the challenger will take
only l2ts per cent.
Turner, however, expected Perrin's
managers, Emile Bruneau and Sam
Weaver, to accept the bout before
sundown this afternoon. The pair
wired N. B. A. headquarters yester-
day as follows: Jimmy Perrin
stands ready to meet any feather
weight in the world designa ted by
N. B. A. in order to have clear claim
to N. B A. featherweight title. "
Earlier Turner had talked with
Bruneau on the telephone and was
told Perrin's handlers wanted SO
hours to think it over.
The only possibility of the bout
going to New Orleans under Ray
mond's promotion hinged on Turn
er's willingness to release Scalzo
from his contract. and Joe insists
he will not relinquish his claim to
the top-ranking contender's services
Monday Card Completed.
Turner, meanwhile, Is busy with
plans for Mondays joust between
Phil Furr and Bill Mcdowell at the

the addition of Calvin Calp, loser
in Baltimore three days ago. who is
