Interest in Work
Spurs Caddies
Return Of Top
Bag-Toters Seen
BY 4. 4. BACHELOR JR.

When the boys regain pride and
interest i'm their work. Detroit
golfers viii once again have ilrst
class caddieS, believes Caesar Rai-
mondi. veteran Country Club OF
Detroit caddic-master.
That the majority OF boys IN re-
cent years were mere bag-toterS
rather than CaddieS by pre-war
standards is freely acknowledged
by Raimondi as well as by most
OF the districts golfers.
In fact. during the last few sea-
sons the average golfer was pleas
antly surprised if his caddie even
condescended to watch him shoot.
And if the boys ever managed TO
find a lost ball il was subject
for locker room comment.
The manpower shortage was oil
course responsible Boys in the
l4-l7 age group who ordinarily
provide the best caddies were TAX
ing the Jobs around grocery stores
and gas stations that ordinarily
would be filled by their older
brothers.
PARENTS AT FAULT
Lack of parental encourage
ment was another factor IN the
decline, says Raimondi.
'In normal times parents
seemed glad TO have their sons
of the streets and gaining lit
tie financial independence" ne
recalls. "But last year IL was
not unusual TO have to get on
the telephone and plead with
them to send their sons up To
the club"
Raimondi believes it takes the
better part of a season for boy
10 master his Job and two seasons
before he is familiar with the IN
dividual members game. When
he really knows the average play
ers likes and dislikes he becomes
a real asset to a club.
The Country Club plans TO go
back TO the A and B rating of
caddies with B caddies getting
S1.35 a round and the A boys l5c
more.
II hope this will arouse the
boys competitive instinct and
make them determined to get
into the top bracket explains
Raimondi.

into an argument about almost
anything connected with the ring
But there is one thing on which
they agree. That is that the best

CONSIDERED THESE THINGS

Louis Newman. co-manager Of
O'Neill Bell, was thinking of all
these things when he heSitated 10
permit his man 10 box Robinson
at the Olympia Friday night after
Bell told him his ear W.s slightly
sore.
"He il fighting the best
fighter in the world" said New
man, an eX-fighter himself,
land want him to be right"
Despite the high regard in
which others hold Robinson, Bell
has no fear of him and insisted
that the fight go on. They learned
to fight in the same school alonG
with Louis and Williams
II is interesting 10 note that
the three Detroit ring greats. who
learned the game in Brewster
Center, no longer live in Detroit
Louis and Williams make their
homes in Chicago and Robinson
has lived in New York for years

And when Louis wants 10 watch

he goes to watch his friend old

has averaged 10 fights a year for

Williams still is ranked among

THE STATE BEAT
Machinery Set
For Metro Loop
BY GEORGE MASKIN

The machinery is set to handle
the return of the Metropolitan
Detroit High School Leauge into
state tournament competition--if,
and when. of course, the loop
makes the move.
According to Charles Forsythe,
the state prep director and boss Of
the Michigan-wide meets, not only
would the circuits members be
WELCOMED back but at the same
time they'd give us nicer bas-
ketball draw in Class A.
Addition of the city's schools,
Forsythe said, would bring about
a 64-team field in the top diyi-
sion, thus making it unnecessary
for any combination TO play more
than two games in either district
or regional rounds.

MIGHT MEAN CHANGE

Would this mean. ForSythe was
asked, that the Metro loop
be permitted to qualify
its first three teams as was the
case before it pulled out of the
state tournaments in 1890?
'Tt probably would" Forsythe.
declared, although naturally
some provisions might be made
10 permit the league to hold its
own district meet"
Forsythe said that the scheme
employed before 1880 in which the
Detroit League and other top
loops in the State-the Five-A,
Saginaw Valley. Southwestern
Conference and Grand Rapids
each was allowed TO send its
and runnerup and per-
hapS even a third team had proved
unpopular and dropped.
COULD QUALIFY OWN
In such sports as swimming,
tennis, golf and track, Forsythe
said he saw no reason why the
city championships also couldn' I
be used as qualifying tests for
state meets. But this, TOO, would
have TO be worked out.
Meanwhile. he estimated that
more than 500 schools would vie
in the 1916 basketball champion
ships scheduled to start in March
As in other years Upper PENN
sula schools will hold their own
meets.
Forsythe also announced that
the Class a swimming finals
would be held at the University

take place the same night ir

PAWS WILDLY AT EBBIE

When his penalty time was up,
Blake dashed from the box, joined

collided with Ebbie Goodfellow
appeared TO lose his balance and
paved wildly at the Detroit star
as he started TO fall
Goodfellow thought he was
attacked. He whipped an upper

the stunned rookie 10 the ice.
The referee gave each five min
uteS for fighting. Goodfellow
Skated TO the box Behind him
came Blake, his face twisted with
rage.
Suddenly the Montreal rookie
raised his stick with both hanos
above Goodfe1loW' head. The
packed thousands shrieked as
they saw Blake about TO deliver
what might have been a death
blow.
But Herbie Lewis. one of the
Wings fastest skaters, dashed in
and took the blow on his
shoulder.
Then as Blake's teammates,
Mortified at his action, stood
silently by. the Red Wings pro-
ceeded TO teach a lesson to the
rookie who had violated the
hockey players code.

When we realize that 1900, 900 oi

more than 1900 of our people ir

us to do something. Our best author

Of cancer that more than one-hali
of this number could be saved. We
