| Horton Smith Equa BOBBY JONES DROPS BACK TOTIEFORSTH | TOURNAMENT PLAGE Ozark Shot-Maker Collects Nine Birdies and an Eagle in Smashing Round ‘CALAMITY JANE’ IS POOR Open Champion Misses Dozen Putts of 15 Feet or Less, Finishes in 75 By DILLON L. GRAHAM. Savannah, Ga., Feb. 22—()—Lead- ing the field by one stroke at the half- way mark with a brilliant 137, Horton Smith, blonde young shot-maker, pre- pared today for the final 36 holes play in the $3,000 Savannah open golf tournament. While a gallery of nearly two thou- sand trailed Bobby Jones, national open champion, yesterday, Smith amazed a small crowd equaling the course record with a 66. He col- lected nine birdies and an eagle on the round. His second-round score, coupled with another par-breaking round of 71 Thursday, gave him the leadership. Jones showed a complete reversal of the form displayed in the opening round when he carded a 67 to top all other entrants. His driving and ap- proach shots were of championship calibre, but his putting with “Calam- ity Jane,” generally the feature of the play, was poor. He missed nearly a dozen putts of 15 feet or less as he made the round in a 75, one over par. His 75, together with the 67 on the fifth round, placed him in a tie with Joe Turnesa of New York for fifth place with 142. A hitherto unheralded golpher from Savannah, Fairley Clark, continued hhis sub-par game yesterday to equal the 69 made Thursday, and completed the second round in second place, a stroke behind the leader, with 138.

INDIANA CAGERS PLANNING TO RETURN BEATING TO MICHIGAN ! Hoosiers Were Trounced, 45 to 26, by Wolverines in Ann Arbor Tilt PURPUE, MINNESOTA CLASH Wisconsin Will Tackle Chicago, Illini Entertains North- western Five Chicago, Feb. 22.—()—Three teams still owing chances to win the West- ern Conference basketball champion- ship tonight will meet three teams already eliminated from the race, while another pair, Michigan and In- diana, will engage in a battle in which defeat will mean crushed hopes. Purdue, at the top of the heap and yet to be defeated by a Big Ten team, will meet Minnesota at Minenapolis, seeking its sixth straight triumph. ‘Wisconsin, in second place, will tackle Chicago at Chicago. Illinois will en- tertain Northwestern's erratic five in the other contest. The Michigan-Indiana battle, Bloomington, promises to be the most bitterly fought of the schedule for the night. The Hoosiers were trounced, 45 to 26, by Michigan at Ann Arbor, but with the advantage of their own court, are rated at least even with the Wolverines in tonight's contest.

This involved the ar- tistic as well as the commercial out- come of heavyweight fisticuffs in a winter resort area that has perhaps @ more diversified sports activity than any other in the country, considering the range from dog-racing and Jai Alai to roque and lawn-bowling. Enthusiasm Was Lacking The task of “building up” this year’s venture was handicapped from the start by a lack of popular en- thusiasm for the chances of Phil Scott, the British champion, against the chief American heavyweight hope, Jack Sharkey. This task has not been lightened by events here, what with Scott's workouts being featured at intervals by a damaged finger, by being bounced off the canvas, or, as happened yesterday, out of the ring completely by a sparring partner. Jack Sharkey, by contrast with this, has impressed the most unbiased critics as probably being in the best fighting condition and temperament of his career. The Boston sailor after j an in-and-out career seems to have found an incentive in the prospect of jing recognition as a world’s title holder by next summer. stimulated his work and frame of mind. As a result he stood today an almost prohibitive favorite to beat Scott. Experts believe he will win inside three or four rounds at the Gate Below $200,000 The “gate” for the battle had not passed the $200,000 mark, with five days to go, and there appeared only ‘an outside chance that it would come enywhere near the figure of $407,000 grossed for the Stribling-Sharkey fight a year ago. The best guess was that it might reach $300,000 although Frank J. Bruen, general manager of the Garden corporation, predicted the next five days would see the turning point and-a rapid approach to the 1929 figures. His optimism was not shared by the experts.
