SPORTS. No $60,000, No Fight, Dundee’s Stand : Espinosa ]W@ég HUDKINS CLAIMS CROWN AS WELTER SPURNS RING California Boxing Commission Apt to Discipline Champion for Failure to Appear—Spectators Riot as No Contest Is Announced. By the Associated Press. 0S ANGELES, November 4.—Ace Hudkins, Nebraska fighter, vig- orously claimed the welter weight championship tod: while the recognized titleholder Joe Dundee of Baltimore, faced pos- sible discipline by the California Box- ing Commission, which called their scheduled 10-round title fight here last night a no-contest affair because of the failure of Dundee to appear in the ring. While fans booed, milled about and even started incipient rioting the champion remained in an unnamed hotel. His manager, Max Waxman, declared the champion would not ap- pear until $60,000, which had been guaranteed him by Dick Donald, the promoter, had béen paid. At the end of an hour and a half. during which police rfot squads had to be called to keep order among the disgruntlad spectators and Hudkins had appeared in the ring in fighting togs so he could technically claim the title, the challenger put on his street clothes and the boxing commission, anncunced a no-contest affair. The ocommissioners said admissions would be_refunded. Waxman said he based his claim for $60,000 upon an unofficial contract with the promoter. The Lexing com- mission declared the only contract it knew amything about provided Dundee with a percentage of the gate and not a fixed sum. Waxman replied that the official contract was only “a blind.” It was understood from the commis- sion records that Dundee was to re- ceive 373, per cent of the gate and Hudkins' 121¢ per cent. Knew Receipts Early. Long before the time for the main event arrived Donald discovered that the total receipts amounted to only ahout $54,000. The spectators took little comfort from the non-contest announcement. They vented their wrath by smashing the ringside seats, and were quelled only after a riot call had brought ad- ditional police to the scen Some of the fans took measures to protect their price of admission by starting from the field loaded with folding chairs. They were frustrated only after the police reserves had brought their night sticks into play. The thres commission members de- clared a $60,000 surety bond protected the ticket holders, but sports writers questioned the possibility of making a refund to the thousands of general admission spectators who were given neither rain checks nor seat stuts with which to back their claims. Re- serve seat spectators had paid from $3.30 to $10 to witness the fight that never was to be, while the general ad- mission tokens sold at $2.20, The commission announced it would meet today to pass upon Dundee’s sus- pension and take action on Donald’s case. The promoter, blaming ‘‘enemies"” for his dilemma, promised to “tear the iild off boxing conditions.” He said that he had enough money to cover Dundee’s claims and that the bout could have gone through but for an ‘“‘eleventh hour hunch on the part of Max Waxman and Dundee that the champion would lose his title.” Says Contract Was “Blind.” “That commission contract is a blind, and you ought to know of many other such contracts,” Waxman told the commission. “Donald told me that the gate would amply take care of my guarantee, When it fell short and when attach- ments tied up $8,500 of the $54,000 in evidence, I knew there was no chance for the $60,000, let alone any chance for the 391; per cent pledged us in case Dundee lost his title. I am sorry that we had to do as we did, but these promoters should learn that both ends of a bargain must be fulfilled.” While the argument between the champion’s manager, the promoter and athletic commissioners was under way, Waxman insisted that he could bring Dundee into the ring at 15 min- utes’ notice, providing the ‘“cold cash was laid on the line.” He refused a personal check proffered by Commis- sioner Charles Traung of San Fran- cisco to make up $5,500 the promoter was'short of the required $60,600, ‘Waxman turned over to the boxing commission $10,000 which he had received as advance payment.

The men tied with net cards of 291 in the 72-hole handicap competition which ended a faw days ago, Hill scoring 367, less 19 each round, while' Max- field dlcor!d 343, less 13 strokes each round. The only thing te be said_ahout Tommy Armour’s defeat by Walter Hagen in the Professional Golfers' As. sociation championship at Dallas yes- terday is that Hagen must have shot superlative golf and found Armour un- able fo keep pace with him. It mark- ead the first wvictory for Hagemn over Armour in nearly a score of matches between the pair. Hagen has the valuable knack of keying himself up for an important match—one in which he knows he is to be pressed. He lets down in the matches in which he knows he will not have much to do, but against a formidable opponent he is usually at his best. 8o it was against Bob Jones in Florida a year ago, when Hagen beat the Atlantan 12 and 11. And so it was terday, with Hagen regis- tering a 69 over the first round to pile up a four-hole lead on Armour, from which the Congressional pro was never able to recover. With the Ar- mour hurdle safely over, Hagen should now move on to a successful defense of his championship, particularly as Gene Sarazan was beaten yesterday by Joe Turnesa. Had Sarazen sur- vived and gone to the final he would probably ha beaten Hagen, for Sarazen is one of the few pres who seem to have the Indlan sign on Sir Walter. —_— PLACES AND OFFICIALS NAMED FOR GRID PLAY Fields and officials have heen selected for games in 150-pound divi- sion of Capital City Foot Ball League for Sunday, Northern and Marfeldts will play at Mount Rainier, with Orrel Mitchell officiating. ~ St. Stephens and Seat Pleasant play at Seat Pleasant, with Henderson refereeing.

Not a golfer living can excel him in this respect,” said a famous ama- teur to me two years ago. Contin- ) ‘ake his match with Bobby s at Brookline in 1922, when he st broke into fame. Jones was outdriving Jess most of the time. But Jess was always in a perfect position to play his second.” Apro- pos of which let me add that it was his unfailing skill at sticking his second to the pin that won Jess his first great title. Grace, smoothness and ease of ef- fort, plus all the punch necessary, and you have a mind picture of Sweetser when playing his woods. There is no bracing stance, feet spread wide apart. Rather, Sweet- ser has them well together and is perfectly balanced threughout his swing. Nor is there any exagger: ated up swing. Jess stops his club when it is parallel with the ground.

ROCHESTER TOSSERS GET AN EARLY START Rochester's quint which tackles Washington in the opening game of the American Basket Ball League sga- son at the Arcadia Sunday night, Nov- ember 20, already has gotten the jump on the local entry by having been in training for two weeks, ac- cording to advices from the Salt City. Eleven players make up the squad of Purple and Gold tossers, who will commence activities t! year with several new performers replacing some old talent that had become of little use by the close of the last sea- son. Eddie Miller, elongated center with Washington at the start of the 1926-27 campaign and who later joined Baltimore, has signed to play for Rochester. Miller's services were much sought after by the Rochester owners, Murphy and Schlegel, he developed rapidly under the coaching of Johnny Beckman at Baltimore and wa: con- sidered one of the best tap-off inen in the pro court circuit by the time the season ended. Nick Harvey of Paterson, N. J. has been engaged to manage Roche: ter, contrary to reports that Marty Friedman, former Cleveland pilot, was to get the job. Harvey, a “wisehead” in basket ball, may play as well as manage, for the owners helieve that a player of Harvey's steadiness will help their club considerably.

Bobby Jones, in a plea for mare and better opportunities for public indul- gence in the pastime, told a local civic club that it's not the cham- plo nd near-champions who “make solf,” but the average player—‘the duffer, if you wish to call him so." “Golf tends to get out of perspec- tive in these days,” he sajd. ‘“The newspapers set a fictitious. value on title tournaments. It is the average golfer, who composes our clubs and builds our courses, that makes it pos- sible for relatively few championship contenders to appear on front pages and be heralded as champions, ““The backbone of golf is now and always will be the average golfer, It is men suek gs he who pay the freight, not the comparatively small number of experts who play in cham- pionships and get their names in the headlines. Golf could never continue its existence on tournaments and tournament play alone, *And it is men such as you, the busi- ness and professional men, who can sep that each city affords by public courses a proper opportunity for every one to “play golf” without hav- ing to belong to a club or pay extreme fees for the privilege. The average golter keeps the game going. My hat is oft to him.” Most of Bobby's hearers were “aver- age golfers” themselves, and they ap- plauded heartily when he added: “I'm not here to discuss how to play golf in tournament fashion. I don’t know how to talk about golf in that way, and it wouldn't do any good it I could.” o TO BANQUET GRIDDERS. PRINCETON, N.

ALLAS, Tex., November 4.— With Tommy Armour, open champion, out of the way, Walter Hagen today faced an other exacting test in his match with Al Espinosa of Chicago, in the semi-final round of the National Professional Golf Association’s tourna- ment here. Continuing his quest for his fifth title with the par golf that has marked his play since the qualifying round Monday, Hagen eliminated Armour, 4 and 3, yesterday. Although the de- fending champion had the advantage of a stymie on the fourth hole to turn the match in his favor, he set such a pace that the Washington star was 4 down at the end of the first eighteen holes. Espinosa ousted Morte Dutra of Ta- coma, Wash., 1 up, after the Coast player staged a sensational comeback after erratic play in the first round by winning seven holes in a row. In the lower bracket matches of the | quarter-finals, Joe Turnesa of Kims- {ford, N. Y., furnished a thrill fo 1 8¢ by beating Gene S: v York, 3 and 2. John Golden York, won the right to meet Turnes; with a 4 and 2 victory over Frances Gallett of Wauwasota, Hagen's play against Armour re- flected the steadiness lie showed when he led the field to qualify with 141, 1 under par. He followed his vic- tory on the fourth hole because of the stymis with a birdie 2 on the By the Associated Pr YORK, November “Bleacher bosses” and “alumni advisers” have their places in the merry whirl of sports, it seems, whether their sugges- tions are desired or not. = They may be a bit more conspicuous just now, but the Ohio- State Alumni, critical of the foot ball coaching methods of Dr. John W. Wilce, are not a novelty. Most every coach of a college eleven, large or small, can offer evidences of being “put on the pan” at one time or another when the fortunes of his teams failed to meet expecta- tions of enthusiastic alumni. “We all want to win,” one promi- nent foot ball authority said recently. “There's no use beating around the bush on that, It is true of undergrad- uates-as well as alumni, coaches and atheltic officials as well as academic leaders. There is constant pressure to develop a winner, but the thing that always seems unfair is to criticize a coach hastily for two or three defeats, to condemn a system or demand that heads be lopped off without full knowledge of circumstances. On the other hand, it wouldn’t be foot ball without the alumni adviser: " Bags ball probably had as many Velunteer hosses as foot ball. The Boston Braves no sooner released Dave Bancroft to Brooklyn than sev- eral dozen experts jumped up to sug- gest managerial successors. Similarly at least 10 names have been put for ward for the job of piloting Cleve- land’'s Indians in next year's Ameri- can League race. 1t sometimes happens, however, that the “Bleacher Boss” is given a warmer welcome than the “alumni adviser.” John McGraw once remarked that he was always glad to get fan sugges- tions on the theory that some of them would be of actual benefit, bringing out points that were occasionally over- looked on the fleld. There were a number of volunteer and spectacular suggestions for replac- ing the veteran Ban Johnson as presi- dent of the American League, but the magnates rejected them all in select- ing from their own ranks Ernest Sar- gent Barnard of Cleveland, who has grown up with the game much as did the man he succeeds. For a time the names of such na- tionally prominent men as George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania and Mayor James J, Walker of New York were widely discussed, at fantastic $100,000-a-year salary figures, but it now appears these suggestions may also be Jaid to the bleachers. It may be sald on the soundest of authority, even it unidentified, that there s no prospect of a resumption of Harvard and Princeton relations on the gridiron or in any dual competi- tion, in spite of the fact that the Tiger and Crimson athletes may be rivals in triangular or open events in the future.

The champlon held his advantage in the afternoon, even though he re- quired a 37, 2 over par, going out, as compared to Armour’s 36. This gave Hagen an even par total of 106 for the first 27 holes. The match ended on the thirty-third hole after each shot four consecutives birdies. In addition to being medalist and his win over Armour, Hagen also beat Tom Harmon, Yonkers, 4 and 3 in the first round of match play.

Fall, shortly after their hectic foot ball game in Cambridge, was not a hastily considered move, but the result of accumulated discord. The authori- | ties of both institutions agree that it will be-a long time before this breach is_healed, if at all. Nevertheless, thousands of alumnl of the two schools, especially in the West, have urged that steps be taken to bring_them together. Yale men also would like to provide a means for a rapprochement, but not even, the most optimistic Eli harbinger of good will looks upon the 150-pound crew race next Spring among the erstwhile “Blg Three” as an actual step toward peace. The comeback of Michael Francis McTigue seems to have reached as ab- rupt an end as it had sensational a start. Last Winter when he knocked out Paul Berlenbach, Michael was the sensation of the ring, the marvel of hoxing. Now, after being knocked out in one round by Mickey Walker, the veteran Irishman appears just an- other old warrior at the end of the trail. Not even Mike's optimism or e Svengall influence of his man- ager, Jimmy Johnston, are likely to &urvive that defeat. It will not be the strangest of ring events if Walker now becomes a light- heavyweight or even a heavyweight title threat. Mickey has eaten his way steadily into heavier divisions since he ruled the welterweight ranks. At the same time he has acquired a heavier punch than he packed in his younger ring days. But a few years ago, Gene Tunney was hardly mentioned in the same breath with Jack Dempsey. Bob Fitz- simmons was only a middleweight when he began bowling over the big ‘uns. Walker has these precedents, anyway, to spur him on, SCOTT WILL DISPLAY RING FARES TONIGHT By the Associated Press., NEW YORK, November 4.—Phil Scott, British heavyweight champion, makes his American bow in Madison Square Garden tonight against Knute Hansen in the main 10-round go.
