Congress insisted that one of the

charges under the criminal code.
The man never was apprehended,
but the commission gave it an
honest effort by turning the matter
over to the Detective Bureau.
To our feeble mind the commits
sion is inviting fixed fights when
it insists on a fighter who admits
taking dive" furnishing gilt
edged evidence of it. We'd say such
an accusation should stir the COM
mission to investigate in co-opera-
tion with the Detective Bureau.
The commission, in effect, is tell
ing fighters who take dives" and
later wish to confess that it won't
do anything about it unless the

In other words-take a dive" but

Elizabeth Hicks
Advances in
Golf Tournament
By TOMMY DEVINE

GLEN ELLYN. Ill, June 81. NOt'
The case of golfer who became
more proficient by "practicing What
she preached" was exemplifled TO-
day by Elizabeth Hicks OF Long
Beach. Calf. as the wCmen's west
ern open golf tournament moved
into a double round of eliminatlons.
Miss Hicks gained the golfing
peak in l941 when she won the
national womens championship. In
october of that year she turned pro-
fessional and the advice she's CIV
en- others in the role of a tutor has
improved her own game.
TAUGHT CLASSES
"All last winter l taught gon
classes in Oklahoma City and this
spring gave instructions at Long
Beach. When you must explain in
detail to some one the why and
wherefores of a golfing stroke you
become extremely sensitive on the
subject with the result that when
you play yourself you unconscious
ly follow every detail of the instruc-
ton you've given" Miss Hicks said.
From 1898, when she first broke
into the big time golfing picture,
until after her conquest in the ma
tional, the petite Californian played
in an average of 13 tournaments
year.
Those days are gone though :
she laughed. This is my first tour
nament since 1941 and my last for
l don't know how long. l intend
to join the SPARS shortly and of
course don't know how much time
I'll then have for golf
SMALL PLAYER
Miss Hicks is one of the smallest
competitors in major golfing circles.
She is five feet two and weighs but
10 pounds. Despite her size she
rates as one of the longest drivers
in feminine circles. The little Cali
fornian consistently hits 210-yard
tee shots and probably the only
performer in the current western
open field who can outdrive her is
Dorothy Germaine of Philadelphia,
Pa.
Miss Hicks is positive" teach
er in her golf classes
Il believe in telling pupils the
right way instead of spending my
time pointing out errors" she states.

Henry's Lips
ToBe Inspected
By Commission
BY LISLE SHOEMAKER

LOS ANGELES. June 30 (UP)-It
is not nice to look a gift horse in
the mouth. At least that's what
people have been saying for years
and probably not understanding
what it meant.
But apparently it isn't rude at all
to poke and probe around a guys
lips, even when they're on the
tender side.
That's what's supposed to happen
to our favorite fighter-Mr Henry
(StrOngarm) Armstrong, the little
Negro who wanted to be a preacher
but wound up holding three world
boxing titles at the same time.
Henry said his lips are alright as
far as he's concerned Oh, they're
not to be compared to Hedy La
marr's cupid-bow mouth but they're
lips and he says they'll stand a few
more poundings.
That is the crux of the whole
thing The Athletic Commission
wants to know if Henry's mouth is
in condition TO take few more
punches, if landed, when he meets
Willie Joyce at Gilmore stadium on
July oath in a Saturday afternoon
battle.
You see Hank came out of his
fight with Sammy Angott looking
like he'd had a head on collision
with an army tank. Henry won the
fight but word 5oomed back here
from New York that he'd never be
able to keep a date with Joyce,
originally scheduled for last Satur-
day afternoon. In that, the rail-
birds were right. Only thing was
Henry didn't bother to come west
after the right and the good COM
mission Wrinkled up their respective
noses and suspicioned "runout," in
fact, said so in loud terms.
To Henry, his pockets jingling
with good eastern cash, and his
durable lips Wrinkled in grinS, will
march up to the commission saw
bones and let EN- poke him around.
q guess its okeh. Angott punch
cd me in the mouth all night. l
guess I can't complain of the doc
tors want to for few hours. But
isn't anything sacred anymore?'
And with that. Mr. Hot Lips Arm
strong strolled home for a good rest
before squaring off with the
