Following a flgurative slap he got

Hockey League officials, colorful
Paul Courteau of the Washington
Eagles will return to action at

The personable French-Canadian,

Saturday night at Atlantic City for

couldn't start Courtesu in any more

Turns Trick,

Striking|y Show
Chicks Up 200 Per Cent.
Jimmy's in Big Decline;
PIoy at New Orleans
BY MORTIMER KREEGER,

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 20.-Chick
Harhert. one of COLTS leading young
sters this season, and Jimmy
Demaret, who ranked at the top two
years ago, agreed today that a
putting streak really makes the diff
ference as they teed of in the New
Orleans 5000 Open tournament.
Two seasons ago when Demaret
came here to win the local event he
said:
MY putter is so hot I'm afraid
to go to sleep at night for fear
I'll lose it."
That was in the midst of his
spectacular campaign of six victories
in nine major events on the winter
swing-a record no other golfer ever
has equaled. II r-ro-o1. a.
This season the best he's done is a
single third place.
I'm hitting the ball better thar
I ever did before" he said, but two
years ago I averaged 20 or 80 puts
a round and now I'm taking 81
or a."
Harbert was Just another good
amateur when Jimmy was at the
top. Last year he was called a
coming golfer" Now he has arrived
has won two events on the winter
circuit, and is fresh from beating
Veteran Ben Hogan in a playoff for
the Texas Open championship.
'The biggest reason" he ex-
planned, 'is that my putting has
improved 200 per cent. I used to
miss two puts Of 3 feet or less
every round. Clip two strokes of
your average and it makes a big
difference"
Harbert suddenly stepped up into
the class of consistent money
winners at Harhngen, Tex, when he
changed his style after studying the
putting of Horton Smith anC
Leonard Dodson, and borrowed Tony
Penna,s putter which he has used
ever since.
He scored his first major victory
in the next meet, the Beaumont
(Tex0 Open.
But how can Ben Hogan stay ur
near the top so long?
"He seems to be on a permanent
putting streak" said Demaret.

and knock q row of loaded water
cups against that ofncial. And then
Paul swung. The fellow he hit hap
pened to be important in hockey.
Lockhart explained the coming
playoff, in which the Eagles hope to
land. It was all very involved, but
he said that out of u amateur
hockey teams in the United States
only the seven in the Eastern League
have accepted invitations. Five of
them will make the grade, and the
Eagles, now in fourth place, hope to
keep their S-point edge over Balti-
more by q win tonight. The tiff
starts at $50.
Boston's effulgent Olympics have
plenty at stake tonight. Nothing
less than the league leadership.
Johnstown's Bluebirds slid into first
place last night by a 6-to-4 victory
over River Vale at Johnstown, break
ing up tie with Boston, which the
Beantowners will be trying to re-
establish tonight.

Exhibition Golf Fading,

BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Helen Dettweiler, Washington s
contribution to professional feminine
golf, is out of the golf business. prob
ably for the duration of the war, and
wants to regain her amateur links
status. Helen has applied to the
United States Golf Association for
reinstatement as an amateur golfer
after two years and 10 months as a
professional. She hopes for an early
and encouraging answer and would
like to take up amateur tournament
play again where she left of in May
of 1899.
Meanwhile Helen, a former Middle
Atlantic, Maryland and District
champ, is working at the War De-
partment.
But Helen is going to miss the
fierce competitive angle Of tourna-
nent golf and the exhibition matches
she has been putting on for more
than two years. She wants particu-
larly to get back in competition.
She won the Western Women's Open
tourney In 1899, which wasn't bad
beginning for girl just turned pro,
and she had done all right since.
But the exhibition golf business,
except for war fund-raising pur-
poses, has gone into a slump. So the
Chicago outfit which employed
Helen has placed her on furlough.
Helen doesn't know how Patty
Berg stands in the new lineup of
feminine pro golf affairs, but she
doubts if Patty will do much road
promotion work of the type Patty
and Helen did last year before they
were In an auto accident in Texas.
