Fistic Notes On Armstrong -Zvic

Henry Armstrong makes the twen- tieth defense of his world welter- weight title when he faces Fritzie Zivic, of Pittsburgh, at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. Armstrong won the 147-pound di- vision crown from Barney Ross on May 3l, 1888.
 F'ritzie Zivic is the first of the five fighting zivic brothers to ob- tain a title shot. His brother Pete once came close to a title chance against Joe Lynch for the bantam weight crown but negotiations failed to go through. Lynch, incidentally, was also managed by Eddie Mead, as is Armstrong.
 The youngest of the zivics isn't superstitious and he isn't the least bit concerned about the fact that his meeting with Armstrong Friday marks his thirteenth fight of l040.
 Armstrong Is unbeaten in eleven appearances to date at the Garden. It was there he won two Of his titles, knocking out Petey Sarron in oc- tober, i0s7, for the featherweight crown, and outpolnting Lou Alnbers in August. 1888, for the lightweight championship. He won the WelteF title from Ross at the Garden Bowl in Long Island City.
 Armstrong has lost only one iight since iD3e. During tho past four years he has engaged ln 90 contests and his sole defeat was in Q return match with Lou AmboRs for ths lightweight title ln August ie3o, onee ho Was held % @ draw, by oefeFlno daFela on Inc Coast When

 Floyd Giebell, who applied the stranger than fiction finish to De- troit,s story book American League season, is another striking illustra- tion that too much attention should not be paid to averages.
 Giebesl, tall and blond and 25, won just one game, while losing nine for Toledo in 1889. He dropped IS while capturing IS for Buffalo before being recalled by the Tigers on September 16.
 Yet Del Baker felt that he was conceding nothing to the great Bob Teller and the Indians when he started Giebell in the final series in Cleveland. Baker didn't want to lead with Lynwood Rowe, the only f1rst-string pitcher who was ready. With only one victory need- ed to clinch the pennant, he de- cided to hold Schoolboy Rowe in reserve {. to be sent against sonle- one slightly less formidable than is Teller on a good afternoon.
 But the Detroit manager wasn't surrendering to Teller.
 Anyone attached to the Detroit club will tell you that one of the few mistakes made by the Tigers this year was their not bringing in GiebelI in time to make him eligible for the world series. Indeed, the Giebell watching the series from the stand may be the best pitcher on the Detroit payroll.

Failure to Recall Young GiebeI in Time for Him to Be Eligible for World Series One of Few Mistakes
 Made By StOry-BoOk Detroit Club

Giebell was developed at Salem College, a Baptist institution situat- ed in the west Virginia town of that name, and as a member of the Weir ton, West Va, Steel Co, team.
 The late Billy Doyle picked up Giebeil for the Tigers in 1887, after he had hagged two of three starts and the national Semi-profes- sional championship for the Weirtori Steelers at Dayton, O.
 Giebell ran into bad Toledo and Buffalo clubs after being a 20-gRme winner for Evansville of the Three Eye in 1898.
 He lost a string of games by one run with Toledo, as the Mudhens kicked in three runs for every one scored and finished 23 games in arrears. He dropped 10 games by one run for the sixth -place Buffalo Bisons, who were crippled by it1- juries.
 Detroit started Giebell three days after he checked in from Buffalo, and he beat the As, 13-2, yielding only three real hits.
 Floyd Giebell has the required speed. a sharp curve, fadeaway, and control.
 But the biggest thing in his fa- Vor," says Catcher Billy Sullivan, lis that he isn't afraid to throw the right ball even when her behind the batter"
 Del Baker and Detroit scouts knew the averages didn't tell the whole truth about Floyd Qiebell.

Slated Next Week

The junior golfers are getting
ready for the big push. Finished
with high school and college compe-
tition for the year the youngsters
below their majority have a couple
of big Journeys coming along, where
they won't be hampered by the plod-
ding efforts of the "old men" of IS

The Maryland State Golf Asso-
citation today announced the Junior
championship of the State, to be
played at the Terra Mariae Club of

will be played over the 36-hole
medal play route on June 25.
Title Tourney Scheduled.
Immediately after that one will
come the District junior title tour
ney at Woodmont, starting June 28
and running for three days The
Maryland affair is open to boys who
have not reached their 21st birthday
anniversary, and is true Junior
tournament, But the District fathers
of golf, with delightful naivete, keep
the age deadline for their tourney
down to 18. which has two effects.
1t practically converts the tourna-
ment into sub-junior affair, and
makes it a boys tournament. 1t
also tosseSout such good golfers as
Ralph Bogart and Earle Skinker,
who are between 18 and 81, and un-
der the accepted meaning OF the
word as juniors.
If you know your golf you also
realize that a lot of the best
golfers of the town are around q
or under. Bogart, Skinker, Buddy
Sharkey and others can handle
themselves in any local links COM
pany. The two tournaments, rum
ming one after another, will keep
the youngsters busy, and immedi-
ately thereafter some of them will
jump into the Capital Golf and
Country Club invitation best-ball
affair. This is scheduled for June
rs, % and 30. Which makes June
the hottest month of the year for

the word.

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 13.-It looks

If plans formulated today material

Gene Sarazen, stocky veteran
who lost the National Open in Sum-
days playof with Lawson Little at
Cleveland, counted off 10 profess
sionals on his fingers and said:
Now there's a team that could
give our Ryder Cup team a trim
ming, and we hereby issue a chal-
lenge, with all the receipts to go to

Walter Hagen, who has captained
every one Of the United States
Ryder Cup teams, accepted the
defy. Fred Corcoran, tournament
manager for the Professional Golf
erS' Association, promptly wired
four cities for bids on the proposed
match.
No Criticism of Choices.
''The event is definitely on" Cor
coran said. We'll award it to the
city submitting the highest bid, but
we'd like to spot it some place
that can guarantee a gallery of

before July IS, and we should have
the definite site within a couple of

captain of the challengers, and
backed himself up with Little, the
brand-new National Open king; Ed
Oliver Jimmy Demaret, Ben Hogan,
Clayton Heafner, Craig Wood,
Lloyd Mangrum, Jimmy Thomson
and Tommy Armour.
Sarazen. the only man to play in
all the Ryder Cup matches, said:
This is in no way a criticism of
the Ryder team selections, but sew
eral new names have hit the top
since the selections were made and
they deserve chance to show what
they can do. 1t should be a mar
velous show and it has the support
of all the players on both teams.
Meant to Help Allies.

will be no Ryder Cup matches for
