COAST BOUT VICTOR TO GO AFTER TITLE By the Assoclated Press, HOLLYWOOD, Calif., October 28.— The title of world flyweight champion, relinquished by Fidel La Barba when he entered Stanford University, offi- clally will be sought by the Caiifornia Boxing Commission for the winner of tonight's 10-round match between Johnny McCoy of El Paso and Johnny Hughes of Cleveland. Hughes and McCoy are the winners of an elimination contest staged here. The Cleveland fighter, who has dis- played a potent right hand, won in the tournament over Harry Goldstein of Boston and knocked out Boy Wally of Singapore. The El Paso boxer elimi- nated Britt Gorman of Minneapolis and Willle Davies of Charlerol, Pa. ‘Willie Schwartz of New York and Dave Adelman of Pennsylvania also were elliminated during the earlier matches, McCoy generally was favored to win tonight. He has displayed an excel- lent, boxing ability and is considered too crafty to get in the way of Hughes' crushing right. SMITH, SOUTH AFRICAN, TO FIGHT IN AMERICA NEW YORK, October 28 (#).—Willle Smith, South African bantamweight, has been signed for three bouts in this country, Matchmaker Jess McMahon of Madison Square Garden announced today. Smith created quite a stir in Eng- land recently by a victory over Teddy Baldock in a 16-round contest. Mc- Mahon said he planned to negotlate for & bout between Smith and Bud Taylor for what he hopes will be recognized as a title affair. Taylor is recognized as champion by the Na- tional Boxing Association. In the event Taylor will not meet Smith, McMahon proposes to pitt Smith against Tony Canzoneri. DUNDEE-HUDKINS SCRAP DELAYED TO NOVEMBER 3 By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 28.—Joe Dundee of Baltimore, welterwelght champion, and Ace Hudkins, Nebras- ka contender, today renewed training following postponement of their title bout scheduled here Saturday, to Thursday, November 3. The fight was postponed yesterday, with the approval of the State boxing commission, because of an adverse weather forecast for the week end which was supported by heavy rains that flooded Wrigley Field, where the fight was to take place. Both fighters planned only light workouts todny as they were within the 147-pound limit and considered themselves in top form. STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE UST before he left Washington, two days ago, for Dallas, Tex., where he 1s one of the favorites to win the P. G. A. champion- ship, Tommy Armour of Con- gressional, the national open cham- plon, sharpened up his golf tools and uncorked a streak of scoring that is nothing short of miraculous. Starting at the tenth, Tommy played the first six holes of the last nine in ordinary figures—exactly par. Then he played the short sixteenth in par 3, which is something in {tself for the most diffi- fult one-shot hole around Washing- on. A tee shot well over the hill in front of the seventeenth green en- abled him to lay a second within three feet of the hole and secure another 3. And he drove the eighteenth green, 256 yards uphill, to secure another birdie 8. That gave him the last nine in 33, and he started to play another four holes by playing two wooden shots to the first green, 524 yards from the tee, and then chipping his third shot into the cup. That gave him four succes- sive holes in even 3s, two birdles, a par and an eagle, one of the finest scoring feats ever seen around Wash- ington. Sandy Armour, brother of Tommy, recalled today that the national open champion and Walter Hagen, the present professional match-play cham- plon, have played in 13 individual matches against each other and Hagen has yet to win. Some of the contests have been for important money, par- ticularly one played several years ago at Westchester Biltmore, while Tom- my was an amateur. Armour will undoubtedly enter the tourney a rank- ing favorite to win, as he has made an excellent record in match play this year, “Hiitle,” the king maker, has de- parted from the club that gave him fame and sent forth two of the great golfers of the world to gather renown on many a hard-fought fleld. Stewart Maiden, taciturn Scot, who is cred- ited with having been the inspiration and model for Bob Jones and Alexa Stirling, both national champions, has left the Eastlake course of the Atlanta Athletic Club, where he has been for nearly two decades. Bob Jones gives full credit to Maiden for the develop- ment of the game that {s the marvel of the modern golf world. Maiden al- ways has been a consistent follower of the championship career of his illus- trious pupil. All the present officers of the Colum- bia Country Club were re-elected at the annual meeting last night in the clubhouse. The officers are John C. Walker’, president; Herbert T. Shan- non, vice president; Arthur B. Shelton, secretary, and John Poole, treasurer. Bugene C. Gott, O. J. De Moll and John H, Hanna were re-elected mem- bers of the board, and Hugh H. Saum, SPORTS Retirement of Garry Herrmann Likely to Affect Politics of Nationa Thomas W. Perry and H. G.

M. Nich- ols of the Washington club won low gross with a card of 84, while D. R. Dougherty of the same club won low net with 94—16—78. In addition to Nichols and Dougherty, the local play ers included Ralph A. Drain, W, F.| Turton, Thomas W. Perry and E. A. Yeagle. Golfers of the Bureau of Mines of the Commerce Department will start next week in the match play rounds for the Turner and White trophies, put up by executives of the bureau. A qualifying round was held last Tues- day at the Manor Club. The matches ;mkm be played at East Potomac ark, GOLFERS BREAK PAR OVER TITLE COURSE By the Assoclated Press. DALLAS, Tex, October 28.—The Cedar Crest course, with its new haz- ards intended to make it one of the most difficult in the South, is yielding to the sharpshooting of links stars en- tered in the National Professional Golfers’ Association tournament. With match play scheduled to start Monday next, four professionals have shot practice rounds of 70, one under par, Gene Sarazen was the first to hang up a serles of birdies to break par. He made his 70 on his first practice round Wednesday. James Foulis, Hinsdale, Ill; Mortimer Dutra, Ta- coma, Wash., and Al Espinosa equaled this mark yesterday. Virtually all of the 60-odd qualifiers have arrived. Walter Hagen has post- poned his practice rounds until Satur- day, when he said he would register, and Johnny Farrell still was missing today. Bobby Cruickshank and Tommy Ar- mour paired yesterday, but did not eep score, as they spent moet of the time testing the greens, which they found very fast.
