 In $1O,OOO Meet

Charlotte, N. C., March 19. (UP) Sammy Snead sets his sights to- day for first money in the $1OO00 Charlotte open golf tournament. He needs only to retain his two stroke lead over the final 18 holes to win.
 The big man of the winter circuit. shooting for his seventh tourna- ment victory, had a three under par 69 yesterday for a 54 hole total Of POP, two strokes better than the reliable duo of Byron Nelson and Harold (Jug) McSpaden, who were tied at 204.
 Nelson moved back in contention with yesterdays lowest round, sparkling 66.
 Snead went out yesterday in even par 36, but improved on the easier home stretch and had 33 to keep pace with Nelson, who went out in 33 and came back the same way.
 McSpaden, with 68, burned up the back stretch with 32 but he had some bad holes on the front nine and barely made it in par 36.

Pro Team Dooms City Loop"

Pro Team Dooms City Loop"
 It isn't 8 reality yet, but that's the shadow" that seemed to hover over the meeting room in which City League officials met for the first time Monday night.
 Al the City Leagues annual din- ner in January there was the feel ing among officials that amateur ball was facing its acid test this coming season. However, 1t wasn't phasing City League moguls who hac come up with colors flying through two wartime campaigns. Last season in particular 1t was tough struggle with a five-team league, as the war took its biggest toll on the loops manpower, but still the 1914 campaign will go down in the leagues 2 year history as one of its best.
 One of the greatest consolations that the present staff of officers enjoys is the interest which is manifested by the former City League player who are now in the armed services in knowing that their league is still carrying on". Their letters prove it. They want the City League to keep going" till they get home.
 One wonders how they are going to take 1t if the City loop is turn ed down in it's request for the Stadium which is also being sought by Promoter Fred Davi of Naug- atuck.
 The league has made no out ward show about its feelings to- wards out-of-toWn interests plan hing to complete with them, but the lid will probably blow off fol- lowing the annual election of of- ficers tonight. Twenty-two years is long time to be building some thing which is not worth protect ing. especially when it has been beneficial to hundreds of it's citi- zenS who are now prominent in local civic life.
 It's going to be interesting to see how much influence that 8 fine community institution like the City Amateur League has in it's biggest fight for survival in it's long history.
 It's up to the board of park | commissioners.

AAAAAAAAA Monday Sports Wosh

year ago, the Connecticut Inter
 scholastic Athletic Conference
 wouldn't let Naugatuck's Al Rat
 kieWich swim in the state inter
 scholastics at Yale; because Al,
 Naugatuck high school boy, was in
 a school that did not have swim
 ming team. The decision in his case,
 was just a minded, petty
 larceny sort of decision such as the
 one that ruled out an athletic event
 in Hartford for benefit of the Amer ican Red Cross, with the added
 threat that any GAG member school that took part would be "dealth with. The principles, of course, told the coaches they could not enter teams for the Red Cross benefit, and that was the end of it.
 Young Ratkiewich, coached by Alex (Gumbo) Sullivan at the Naug- atuck YMCA was sent to Trenton, N. J. last year after the Connecti- cut BRUSHOFF and came back with the NATIONAL INTERSCHOLAS- TIC BACKSTROKE TITLE. That, of c0lrse, made him USEFUL to the CIAC which gave him bottom -of- the-deck deal last year So they graciously allowed him to compete in the Yale meet this year, which he did last Saturday winning two state titles in the backstorke event of 100 yards in the NEW RECORD time of 1:04.4, against a mark that has stood for eight years. Before that, he won the 220 free-style swim; and last week was in Trenton again, defending his national Eackstroke record. So he is now a state and national champion. in two events.
 Crosby's Bill Cunningham, Jr.; fourth in the diving event; but has been strongly encouraged to keep at it. by none other than Yale's World-f nous champion maker Robert J. H. Kiputh.

 Garden Surprise
By CARL LUNDQUIST


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, March 19-CUP)-The "smudge pot" helped. At least Coach Frank Keaney of Rhode Is- land State, whose basketball players were supposed to be allergic to to- bacco smoke, had reason to think so today.
 The lightly-regarded Rhodies. who were the 25 to 1 long shots in the National Invitational Basket ball tournaments, now are getting plenty of consideration as dark horse" specials and Keaney believes that their 51 to A upset victory over Tennessee was partly due to the fact that they learned how to breathe in a smoke-filled room.
 The speedy Staters never quit running in a game. In previous trips to Madison Square Garden the tobacco-laden atmosphere has bothered their wind. So Keaney rigged up device for burning stale tobacco and threw up a terrific smoke screen for the boys in prac- tice last week. Conditioned to breathing in the smoky air, their wind was better and they simply ran Tennessee off it's feet.
 DePaul Next?
 Just how far the New England giant killers can go is problemati- cal, because in their next test they have to face the winner of tonight's game between West Virginia and Depaul, and the brilliant Blue Demons from Chicago are even money favorites to win the tourney.
 In tonight's other game, St. Johns opens its drive for a third straight title against Muhlenberg's rangy Mules from Allentown, Pa.
 Third seeded Bowling Green of Ohio had things pretty much its own way in topping Rensselaer, Polytechnic, 60 to 45, in the other opening game of the meeting.
