Biggest women'S links tourney OF
the year with title attached, start
ed today over the Indian Spring
Country Club course, with Mrs. A. B.
Bower, Star Cup winner, and a
member of Indian Spring, the favor
ite to win. The tourney is the Mary
land State women's championship,
abbreviated this year and changed
from the usual match play event to
a medal play affair at 54 holes.
More than 70 competitors started
the title tourney which will take
them over three courses at Indian
Spring today, to Chevy Chase to-
morrow, with the windup slated for
Kenwood Thursday. 1t is a unique
tournament in that it is played on
three different courses, and that the
Maryland State event is being run
off by the Women's District Golf As
sociation, which took over at the re-
quest of the Maryland women.
Three competitors appeared stand
outs as the tourney opened, topped
by Mrs. Bower, who has been scor-
ing consistently we'll this year. The
steady veteran, Betty P Meckley of
Kenwood, Mid-Atlantic titleholder,
is sure to have a chance to win, as
is Mrs. Maurice Click of Baltimore,
the present titleholder.
On the basis of her scores in tour
naments this year Mrs. Bower seems
head and shoulders over the opposi-
ton in this territory. She has
played Indian Spring in.71, Manor in
73 and Army Navy in rs during the
summer. An average of 80, or 240
for the 54 holes, probably will win
the championship under the brisk
weather conditions of fall.

Platt, finalists in the Chevy Chase

ginia Techs Gobblers are suspicious
about the big welcome" on that
Southern Conference mat. Twice
that mat has been deftly pulled
from under their feet.
The Techmen, returned to con-

but politeness. North Carolina was
the first to throw away the etiquette
book and spill the Gobblers, 14-0.

answer at BlacksbLrg.

absent from the William and Mary
game because of rib injury, is ex-
pected to return to the lineup
against the Terrapins, but it prob
ably will take more than him to tip
the scales in favor of the Gobblers.

Bethesda Looks to Blair Clash

A new football rivalry is shaping

annual feuds.
When Blair fielded a football team
this year for the first time in its
history, there was much rejoicing
at Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School because the Barons saw the
opportunity to carry into the grid
season a sports feud that reaches
its height yearly on the basket ball
courts of the two schools.
And Bethesda, pointing toward
Fridays home game with st. Adams,
already sees victory in sight when
the schools wind up the season next

The Barons got off to a hot start
this year, knocking off National

ran up against Fairfax, they hit a

Maryland Is Worried
Over Injured Stars
For GobbIer Game

Maryland's football team, not
taking the Virginia Tech game at
Blacksburg Saturday lightly, frank
ly is worried more about its in
jured players than the strength Of
the Gobblers, who have an up
and-coming freshman outfit.
Red Polling, probably the Old
Liners best all-around back, did
not get in the game against the
Merchant Marine Academy last
week, and it turned out that he
wasn't needed to register a 1915
victory.
1t is possible, too. that Coach
Paul Bryant could get along with
out him this week, but doesn't rel
ish the idea, especially with Harry
Bonk, ace of the win over the
Mariners, an uncertain quantity
after bruising a leg in last Satur-
days contest. Bonk is a big gun
on both attack and defense.
Dick Johnston, as good IT'S
pound guard as you'll see, also is
suffering from an injured arm and
may not see action against the
Gobblers. However, his loss would
not be SO serious as Emile Fritz, 1885,
pound newcomer. showed to marked
advantage against the Mariners,
although he had not had enough
practice to reach top form.
There was one phase of Mary
lands play last week that has the
coaches toiling to cure That was
the backfield's defense against the
forward pass. Too many of the
rival receivers got into the clear

Place for 100000
Championship Bout
Is Guessing Game
BY MURRAY ROSE,

+
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Joe Louis
is going to defend his title against
Billy Conn next June in a bout that
probably will draw 100000 gate,
but where the big fight will be held
is a guessing game that involves
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia
and Detroit.
The Brown Bomber signed to de-
fend his title yesterday in scene
reminiscent of the hoopla and fan
fare of prewar days when a heavy
weight championship contract-sign-
ing was a great event. Cameras
clicked and flash bulbs popped as
promoters, managers and plain
n a n g ers- ON milled around the
champion.
Conn is scheduled to come in to-
morrow to scribble his name on the
legal document that will enrich him
for life. This being the first title
bout among the big boys since Louis
flattened Abe Simon in March,
1912. Promoter Mike Jacobs figured
the occasion was worth separate
signingS to gain the extra ballyhoo.
Jacobs plans to sock a 500 label
on the ringside seats and expects
that the fight will do $4,000 900 at
the gate and wouldn't want to try
to- guess what the figure might be
If you counted in movies, radio and
television."
Television Seen Profitable.
Uncle Mike is sold on television
and believes that it won't be long
before the gate from the sale of
tickets at the site of a super-special
battle will be dwarfed by the reve-
nue. collected from hundreds of
theaters where the fight will be
televised.
Those engineers tell me they may
have television perfected enough by
that time to pipe the fight right onto
movie house screens" Jacobs added.
If that Is so, your guess on the gate
is as good as mine
It's the question of the extras that
may cost New York a title fight
again. Jacobs said the Empire State
exacts a S per cent tax on the gross
receipts of movies and the levy ex-
tends to all States or countries
where the film might be shown. He
figures that if Conn wins, the pic
lures will be worth more than the
gross gate.
Chicago drew $3.50 ,0O0-the larg-
est gate in history-for the second
Jack Dempsey-Ge Tunney fight
in 1927 and Philadelphia had a ST.
895, ,723 show for the first Dempsey
Tunney bout. Jacobs is partial to
both cities with their 100000 seating
capacity stadiumS.
Louis likes Detroit, where Briggs
Stadium can be fixed to seat 10000
customers.
New York is not out of the run
ming, however, for it is known that
Col Eddie Eagen, chairman of the
New York State Athletic Commits
sion, intends to go all out to keep
the show here.
According to the contract, Jacobs
can wait until 40 days before the
fight to announce the site.
