George Parks, the muscular col

support, at least, when he climbs
into the ring tomorrow night at
Grifith Stadium to help Al Reiss
manufacture the main bout and
Promoter Joe Turner is the latest
to climb aboard his bandwagon.
But Reiss. in the opinion Of some
fans, will be too smart for his heavy
hitting opponent, pointing to his
bout with Jimmy De Chard as evil
dence of his shrewdness. Reiss.
much smaller than De Chard, was
expected to be kayoed, but not only
went the full distance but almost
got the decision.
Parks, on the other hand, is q
sharp, dangerous puncher, as Gus
Mirman will attest. One OF his

early in the first round and his
supporters believe he'll do 1t.
Supporting bouts include Ken

Lippy Leo Durocher. prominent

there were several colored players

to use them.
Mr.. Durocher later denied making
this statement, which is one Of the
Lips most whimsical and endearing
habits, but Judge Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands, high commissioner of
baseball, ignored the Lips retrac-
ton and seized the chance to get
the truth on record: that organized
baseball has absolutely no agree

Negro.

Some critics have accused the
Judge Of hypocrisy in connection

agree. II I read the Judge Alright,
he has become increasingly liberal
and free Of owners influence in the
last few years, and what he did on
the occasion Of Durocher's plain

throw the responsibility squarely in
the laps of the magnates by pointing
out that they had no legitimate nor
legal excuse for segregating the
colored player.
The magnates knew this already,
of course, but they did not care to
have it pointed out, with the mild
exception Of Bill Benswanger, Pitts

1t isn't any secret that golf club
sales. in the face of warnings that
there won't be any requirements for
long time after present stocks are
exhausted, have dropped of around
Washington this year. The pros and
sports goods people are not singing
the blues. but they wonder where
the heavy sales of early seasons past
have gone, and just what Is going
to happen to the golf club market.
We've moved very few sets this
year." said Red Banagan at Co.
lumbia. Witty Cox says the same
thing at Congressional. and other
pros report that club sales are of
this year in comparison with past
years, even though more people are
playing more golf around town than
ever before.
Requirements Hard to Get.
If you happen to break your ia
vorite spoon nowadays and cannot
find on the prof shop shelf re-
placement Of the same length and
weight, you are going to have q
tough time duplicating 1t. The
manufacturers are not filling any
more special orders and practically
are out of the club-making busi-
ness, or soon will be- Your present
set of golf clubs will have to last out
the war and beyond until the manu-
facturers again can change their
machines back to peacetime pro-
duction. Just now many Of them
are getting into the making Of small
parts for the war machine.
Although there's plenty OF money
In Washington nowadays, with q
monthly Government payroll away
up in the scores Of millions, the
usual customers are not spending 1t
on golf clubs, as many Of them did
In past years. OF course, lot Of
money Is going into War bonds, as 1t
should do, and golf club sales can
wait. II the customers expect to
keep on playing golf sooner or later
they are going to want to buy, and
meanwhile the bulky club inven-
tories await the buying splurge If it
comes.
Bali Situation Stable.
The golf ball situation is stable.
New balls of new rubber are going
to be hard to find in few months,
but repossessed balls now are avail
able in any quantity. They are not
quite as good as new spheres OF live
rubber, but they'll do for the dura-
ton. The manufacturers say around
100, 600 900 dozen reprocessed golf
balls can be made from the supply
Of old balls. That's a lot OF golf
balls, and probably will last through
the war period. II the war goes on
for years few people will be playing
golf anyway and golf balls and clubs
won't make much difference.
