SPORTS WASHINGTON, D.. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1921. SPORTS . Nine U. S. Amateur Golfers Sure to Invade England : Tild en, Net Champion, Is Honored J " THREE OTHERS MAY GO FOR BRITISH TOURNEY EW YORK; April 6—The personnel of the American amateur golf team which will sail April 30 on the steamer Caronia to participate in the British amateur championship tournament has been an- nounced by W. D. Vanderpool, secretary of the United States Golf As- sociation. It will consist of Charles Evans, jr. of Chicago, national amateur champion; Francis Ouimet of Boston, Bobby Jones of Atlanta, Fred Wright of Boston, Paul Hunter of California, Parker Whittemore of Boston, W. C. Fownes of Pittsburgh, J. Wood Platt of Philadelphia and F. C. Newton of Boston. ‘Three players. classed as “doubtful” bi the secretary. are Max Marston of Philadelpbia, Oswald Kirkby of Englewood, N. J., and S. Davidson Herron of Chicago. List Is Stromg Ome. ‘The list, beyond question, reprosents the greatest galaxy of American ama- teur golfing stars ever to invade Brit- ish territory in quest of the title, now held by Cyril Tolles, and which has been won only once by an American golter. Every nationally known ama- » teur golfer in America is represented on the team, with the exception of Robert A. Gardner, who was runner- up in the title tournament last year. Four men on the list—Fownes, Ev- ans, Ouimet and Herron—have been national amateur championship win- ners, while two—Evans and Ouimet— have each won the open champion- ship. Jones is the present southern amateur champion and was runner-up to Herron at Oakmont in 1919. The other members of the team have al- ways been well up at the top of the list in national amateur tournaments « and have many local tournament vic- tories to their credit. Ouimet is regarded as one of the greatest golfers ever produced in America. He won the open champion- ship in 1913, defeating, in addition to the American professionals, Vardon and Ray, who were touring the coun- try at that time. He captured the national amateur championship in 1914 at Ekwanok and last year was runner-up to Evans at the amateur tournament at the Engineers’ Club at Boston. He also won the western amateur title in 1917 at the Mid- lothian Club. Platt is regarded as one of the com- ing stars. He was semi-finalist in the national championship at Oakmont in BOUTS NOT IMPRESSIVE DECLARES WHITE ‘FAKED' Manner in Ring Matches at Despite assurances to the contrary, the boxing bouts held last night’in the armory at Silver Spring, Md., were disappointing. It was only a mediocre card at best, and, to make matters ‘worse, the boys did not appear to put forth their best efforts. If Joe Bate- man, District ring promoter, hopes to be successful in his venture in the Maryland suburb he will have to put a better class of boys on &t his shows, y if the present prices of ad- mission are maintained. « though five bouts were advertised, only four were held, and no explana- tion whatever was given the fans for “. the failure to provide the fifth. To- day Bateman said the small attend- + ance did not warrant the expense the fifth mill In the main go Steve Muchic, for- mer middleweight champion of the Atlantic fleet, had easy sailing. He dropped Harry Albright of the Nor- round, knockout. = The semi-final brought tont:le; n 1918, putting Ouimet out of the run- ning in a sensational thirty-eight- hole match. Last year, at Roslyn. he eliminated the titleholder, S. Davidson Herron, and in the finals of the Nas- sau County Club tournament defeated the British star, T. D. Armour, after an extra hole of play. Pros Likely to Make Trip. While the professional golfers to make the invasion of England have not been definitely picked, they prob-| ably will be Waiter Hagen, Detroit; Mike Brady, Detroit; Leo Deigel, De- troit; Tom Kerrigan, Siwanoy; George McLean, Grassy Sprain; = Emmet French, Youngstown; Jim Barncs.

Evans Must Change. CHICAGO, April 6—The trip to England with the American golf team will cause Charles “Chick” Evars to discard the putter which he has used with such great success in the ama- teur and open tournaments, in which he has won the American title. His putter is termed, for lack of a generally accepted term, a “crutch’ the head being fastened to the shaft by two prongs which bring the shaft in line with the center of the face of the club. This type and the Schenec- tady putter are ba under golf rules of the Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews, governing British courses. “Chick" plans to have a new putter built as nearly as possible like the old one. but conforming to British of | the decision over Al Doty of = rules. Wisconsin Boxing Board Replies to $50,000 Suit Filed by Chi- cago Fighter. MILWAUKEE, April 6.—Charles ‘White, Chicago boxer, “willfully par- ticipated in a fake boxing match.” the Wisconsin commission said in an andwer filed in district court to the suit for $50,000 brought by White several weeks ago because the com- mission had stopped his bout with Sajlor Friedman at Kenosha. By doing the alleged faking, White not only violated the -state boxing law. but other Wisconsin criminal laws,” the answer said. Griffiths Gets Decision.
