LEADER IN SHERWOOD GOLF SHERWOOD FOREST, Md., Octo- ber 20—Danny Williams, youthful professional at Shackamaxon Club of New Jersey, set a sizzling pace yester- day to lead a field of 27 entrants in the first annual Sherwood Forest open Kolf tournament with scores of 73 and 77 for @ 36-hole total of 130 over the rolling and rugged terrain of this dif- flcult course. Willilams_outscored his nearest competitor, Eddle Towns of Indfan Spring, by ‘10 strokes. Seven Washington golfers, six of them professionals, competed in the tourney. All finished well up in the event, with Towns second and Ralph Beach, long-hitting pro at Burning Tree Club, tied for fifth. Williams is gne of the group of voung Itallan-American ex-caddies around New York out of which Gene Sarazen and Joe Turnesa have grad- ated to fame. Willlams is not his al name, but the brand of golf he puts up should merit the cognomen of McPherson or Brald.

EW YORK, October 20.—An odd sort of controversy is going on beneath the surface in the American League. It concerns the New York club and its layers. In particular, the battle is converging about the figure oprub Meusel, star Yankee outfielder. Miller Huggins, the Yanks’ manager, is a great fighter for his men. He is in the thick of a fight right now because some of the American League folks, outside of the New York club, have been “riding” Meusel to the wall, and roughshod, too, since the world series. The critics have held that the Yanks' failure to win the series was due more to Meusel's inability to make timely hits and to field well than to lack of strength elsewhere. For that reason there have been brash statements about sending Meusel to some place other than New York in 1927. Huggins isn't buflt that way. He fights for his players as long as he thinks they are working for him. Meusel's skill as a ball player is well known, but it is true that he has not shown at ‘his best in world series. That of 1926 was not the first in which he fell down, and yet against the Giants, when the Yanks defeated thelr local rivals, he was one of the brilllant figures of the games. Would Retain Meusel. To permit Meusel to go to another club in the American League would be polson to Huggins and would do the Yanks no good. To let him get out of the league would be to help the National League in some way, be- cause there isn’t a chance that the National League would permit him to be waived to the minors. Meusel was one of the big factors in the success of the Yanks in 1926, running mighty strong with the bat unt{l late in the season, when he slumped. There are not more than five outfielders in the American League who are all-around’ equals of Meusel, and not one of those out- flelders would be eligible for New York if changes were made. It is evident enough now that the Yanks will need all the strength they can command if they are to win the 1927 pennant. At the moment it doesn’t appear that it will be much of a successive pennant season in either league in 1927, unless one or two positions on both the St. Louis and New York teams are propped a little. Both will need pitchers next season. No Meusel in Minors. In the minor leagues there is not an outflelder at the moment who car- ries any such promise of skill as Meusel can produce. Meusel is a very fast ball player and a very de- ceptive one, because he is of the easy- going type, like Lajole and Hornsby, moving much more rapidly than he appears due to the smoothness of his gait. All the oufflelders on the Brooklyn Summer, but he is not up to stand- ard. Wheat doesn't get over the ground that he did, and Cox is too uncertain. Statz has been called back from Los Angeles, and although he falled with two major league teams, he can’t be much worse than the Brooklyn lot of 1926. (Copyright, 1926.) MALONEY WILL TEST DE KUH'S RING WORTH BY FAIR PLAY. NEW YORK, October 20.—Putting a young fighter like Arthur De Kuh against an experlenced battler like Jim Maloney on Friday night locks as though some one were trying to get rid of a troublesome factor in the plans to bring forth a young heavy- weight qualified to cope with Gene Tunney next Spring. It is noticeable that De Kuh was not given a look-in when Tex Rickard was recently engaged in pairing up heavywelght prospects. Now, how- ever, the young Itallan whom Re- nato Gardini brought over here is going to get a test which, if he has not been joking, will delight his heart. Maloney is a tough Irish walloper and no mistake. It will be remem- bered that he beat Jack Sharkey and then fouled Jack in a later engage- ment. Each battle was hard fought The Boston Irishman has been fight- ing only three vears and in that time has more than held his own with some mighty good men. e has not done much of late, though This was due to his dissatisfaction with his man- ager. He got a new manager when the old one was paid $10,000 in the trade. When any wise manager is willing to pay that much to secure a scrapper, it stands to reason the lad must be good. Jack Kearns wanted Maloney when he saw the beginning of the end of his relationship with Dempsey. As for De Kuh, he has all the earmarks to | Suzanne Lenglen's crown, expresses | Morgan drove the veteran New York boxer around the ring, landing seem- ingly at will both to the midsection and the face. At the finish there was no question as Harry Ertle raised the champion’s hand. The vic- tory was tempered with the know edge that Dundee fought through most of the bout with one hand. His handlers announced that an old break in his right hand had been fractured during the second round. Dundee's showing was best in the second round, when he scored re- peated!y with his left hand and jolt- ed Morgan with a right to the jaw that sent the puth spinning. The pair fought on fairly even terms in the opening frame, with Dundee's bobbing style bewlldering his op- ponent somewhat. The titleholder had an edge in the | third and forged into the lead in | the fourth, The remaining six ses- | slons were merely repetitions of the earlier bombardment, with Dundee | reeling while Morgan punished him at short range. The champion had slight advantage in weight, checking in at 1281z pounds. while Dundee weighed 1263;. Approxi- mately 14,000 persons attended the fight, which was the first bout held here since 1914 in which a world’s title was at stake, SHOCER MUST PAY. ST. LOUIS, Mo., October 20 (#).— A judgment by default against Urban Shocker, pitcher for the New York Yankees, has been returned in Cir- cuit Court here on a $2,000 note held by Ed Mays, president of the Grand National Bank.

All of them are too slow to keep the pace that major league ball will set in 1927. Much ado was made over Jacobson last League campaign. The Convention Hall represent- atives will wear V-necked jerseys of the finest guality, white in body with collar, cuff and bottom striping of black. Imposed on the front of the jerseys will be the familiar Conven- tion” Hall emblem—crossed duckping, bowling balls and the letters C and H—all in black. Across the backs of the jerseys will be the name Conven- tion Hall in black letters. Trousers—not _pants—will be of dark hue, and, of course, the regula- tion bowling shoes will be worn. And the bowlers will be white-shirted. To complete the “blanc et mnoir” effect, as the drapers would have it, black bowknots will nestle under the chins of the Convention Hallers. All in all, it ought to be a spiffy makeup. As now made up this Convention Hall team {s quite different from the one that represented the Fifth and L streets drives last season. And on past performances of its members it seems to be much stronger, too. One would have to hunt diligently in this bowling area to find a collection of maple smashers that looms more formidable on paper than the one fheluding Al Work, Joe Mulroe, Ar- thur Urban, Jack Whelan and Glenn Wolstenholme. Work still holds the District record for “pot” games, while Anchor Wolstenholme long has been regarded as Washington's most con- sistently good bowler. Whelan is one of the younger luminaries who sprang into prominence last season, while Mulroe has been Hitting &t a good pace steadily for some time. Urban is one of the old-timers at the sport, although by no means such in years. And he has a splendid record bac of him. “Convention Hall certainly seems to be a team that will take a deal of beating. No matter how good a team may be, there always is some outfit, sup- posedly much weaker, that appears able to take its measure in every { clash. That holds good in bowling as in base ball, foot ball and other ¢team sports. So La Fayette, for seasons n outstanding aggregation in the Masonic Association, has its pet jinx mong the weaker quints of that big circuit. It is the Federal Lodge quint. La Fayette probably would rather bowl against any other bunch in the circuit than the Federal rollers. Last season the Federals, who were far down the list, took a three-game fall out of La Fayette and recently they repeated this stunt. It must be a habit with the Federals, for they do not seem able to topple the other top- notchers, even though they always bowl with all they have. One of the surpises of the Masonic circuit this season is the King David Lodge quint. Last season this team was unable to get anywhere worth- while in the standing of teams, but so far in the present campaign it ner’s gang intends to carry on with the fine raiment throughout the District has been stepping along at a great pace and leads the league. Much of the success of the King David team seems due to the efforts of FEar!

It is under stood that several teams are eage to affillate with the Washington Ladies’ circuit. Among those sup posed to be seeking franchises ar. the Pythlan Sisters and Interstats Commerce Commisstion. There is a chance that a team may be organized among the bowlers of the Agriculture Ladies’ League for competition in the city-wide circuit.
