Pasadena, Calif, Jan. 17.—4P}— Prize-seeking golfers who have fol- lowed the gold trail over far western fairways from Portland to Honolulu and back to Lower California since early December turned eastward to- day, where two Texas tournaments offer further reward for low scorers. The jump across the continent will be broken for the El Paso open Jan. 19 and 20, and again at San Antonio, where $6,500 in cash awaits winners of the Texas open Jan. 24 to 27. The south central, which opens at Hot Springs, Ark. Jan. 31 to Feb. 2, will carry the golfers on eastward. The last west coast tournament, and one of the most successful, ended here yesterday with division of $4,000. Craig Wood of Newark, N. J., a “dark horse,” took first prize of $1,000 at the conclusion of the ole compe- tition, for which there was an 18-hole qualifying round. Only two champions successfully defended their crowns in the tourna- ment. They were MacDonald Smith, Great Neck, M. Y., who repeated in the $10,000 Los Angeles open, the ma- jor event and the one which held the richest reward for first prize win- ner, and Leo Diegel, P. G. A. cham- pion, who retained the San Diego crown he won in 1927. ‘Wood set a phenomenal pace in winning the Pasadena event. He had @ card of 138 to win over players such as Hagen, “Mac” Smith, Armour, and Goxee Von Elm, blond Detroit ama- ur.

PRIZE-WINNING GOLFERS BEGIN GRADUAL JOURNEY EASTWARD !Canada Continues To Supply Thrills In Hockey Fights Les Canadiens and Maroons in Colorful Battle; Boston Bruins Gaining New York, Jan. 17.—(#)—The game of hockey is of Canadian origin, and Canada still supplies most of the in- terest even in an organization like the National Hockey league, where | six of the ten teams represent cities in the United States. Tonight's four games are ample proof that the do- minion still holds its sway. The two encounters that promise the greatest amount of ‘action and have the most important bearing on | the standings involve three Canadian teams, the Maroons and Canadiens of Montreal and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The New York Americans, jleaders of the international group, complete the quartet. The Maroons play on their home tink against the Americans in an endeavor to return to second place in the division, from which the Canadi- ens displaced them Tuesday by a one- point margin. Les Canadiens have as great an in- centive to hand Toronto its fourth straight defeat.. A defeat tonight while the Maroons won would return them to the place they held last week, in a tie with the Leafs for third place. A victory still would leave them two points behind the group leaders. In the American group the leading Rangers expect an easy victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, who have won only four games this season. The clash at Detroit between the Cougars and the Boston Bruins, con- tenders for second place in the Amer- ican group, should be somewhat more interesting. The Bruins moved out of a tie for the position by defeating the th oeees for’ their seventh straight vie BASKETBALL KING IN INDIANA; INDIANA KING IN BASKETBALL): his | Hoosier Children Raised on Ba: ketball; Gymnasiums Are Not Built Large Enough to Ac- commodate Large Crowds; Indiana Supplies Cagers to Many States.

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 17.—(?)—For the first time since the days of rugged Marvin Hart of Kentucky, who claimed the heavyweight champion- ship of the fistic world after the re- tirement of Jim Jeffries in 1904 has the South a white 18-karat heavy- weight contender. W. L. “Young” Stribling, the Dixie hope, who fights Jack Sharkey, Feb- ruary 27, at Miami Beach, was born and bred in Georgia, the heart of the deep south. More thar eight years ago, Strib- ling, then a featherweight fledging 16 years of age, fought his first pro- fessional fight in Atlanta. It came as a gift from his acrobatic dad who taught him to box and guided him through successful gymnasium bouts. “Pa” had promised his son that on his sixteenth birthday he would be rewarded with his first real prize fight. Asked for Chance The elder Stribling sought out late Walk Miller, then a budding fight Promoter in Atlanta, and asked for a chance for his young son to do| tome boxing. He wanted Miller was reluctant. the youngster's record and looked askance on the few gymnasium skir- mishes. “Pa” Stribling made the desperate suggestion that his son be placed on Miller's next card fof nothing. “Just his expenses from Macon to Atlanta and return—a few dollars,” Pa asked. “That will be all we'll expect.” The eagerness of the father made an impression on Miller and he ac- cepted the arrangement. The result was that Stribling was matched for a four round bout with a rugged little newsie, Kid Domb. Stribling won. Again the boy offered to fight with- out recompense. Miller made another arrangement whereby the youngster was matched with Tim O'Dowd. O'Dowd lasted for two minutes of the first round. Still from Missouri Still Miller was not sold on the youngster and a third bout—without remuneration—was agreed to by the Striblings. This time W. L. was asked to defeat the rugged Kid Nap- pie, another Atlanta newsboy, who knew something about slugging. So clever was the Stribling defense and 80 deceptive his attack that he out- pointed Nappie in four rounds. Successful in three matches with nothing to show for it in the way of finances, Stribling and his dad de- cided it was high time to demand some pay. This time Miller proved less adamant. The remuneration, however, was small in comparison to the nearly $50,000 that the young Georgia heavy- weight will receive for his 10 rounds with Sharkey. In building up to this bout, W. L. has engaged in nearly 250 fights. His largest previous earning in a single bout was $27,500 which was his end of the purse in the Berlenbach championship match in New York city in June, 1926.

BUD TAYLOR T0 FIGHT AS AFEATHERWEIGHT Terre Haute, Ind., Jan. 17—()}— Bud Taylor, the Terre Haute terrier, with a made-over face, will reenter the ring as a featherweight. Bud, when he quit the resined arena five months ago with a pancaked nose, was a bantamweight, a class in which he held the championship in 1927 and part of 1928. Al Singer, the sensational New Yorker, is marked down as Bud's first featherweight opponent. The contest tentatively is set for February, and will be at 126 pounds. ‘ Taylor's last fight was with Santi- ago Zorrilla in San_ Francisco last July. The Hoosier's nose was split in the fourth round. A Los Angeles surgeon revamped the proboscis, us- ing cartilage from behind Bud's ear. While about the rebuilding, the surgeon removed the bumps under Taylor's eyes and tightened up the sagging sacks and also removed evi- dences of cauliflower on one Bud tried out the new “pan” a few weeks ago, and found it repulsed leather first rate. t BASKETBALL LINTON MEETS.

Pid Purdy, fielder, had the highest regular mark and he just edged into the 300 class | prof by a scant nine points. To strengthen the club with slug- Gers who can run 180 and 270 feet in safety on their hits, the Cincinnati management has secured several long distance swatters from the minors and was favored with drawing hitting talent in the draft. In Earl Crabtree, Oklahoma City, Evar Swanson, Mission, Calif, and Walter Enaner, Chattanooga, form- erly with the Red Sox, the Reds ob- tained hard hitting minor league outfield. They will argue it out with Walker, Allen, Zitzmann, Purdy and Callaghan, last summer's regulars.
