Emanuel made the mistake of think- | of Walker’s rushes and | fists had lost their | in the fifth round. The young scrapper took matters into his own hands and began to do some fight- ing on his own. This worked into Walker's scheme of battle. Armand reached Mickie’s jaw with several right- | handers. It was just what Mickey | needed to stimulate him into another burst of two-fisted battling. Coming out for the seventh round, Emanuel continued his forcing tactics. At this time it seemed as if Walker was on his way to defeat. But Mickey is not called a bulldog on account of his resemblance to that square-jawed, fe- | rocious-looking canine. Relentless dog- gedness and tenacious fighting against odds fully describe Walker's actions in the ring. ) Backed to the ropes, Mickey shot out a right hook.

ATLANTA, Ga., August -28.—The American amatur golfing team which will attempt to twist the lion's tail for the fifth consecutive time in the Walker Cup match, this year played at the Chiocago Golf Club, Wheaton, I, £1- gust 30-31, is headed by the United States amateur cn.mpboni B':I:’byrdon;s The eight regulars selec y the Onited States Golf Association all are veterans in the competition, in that ~ot one lacks previous experience 11 playing for the United States against Britain The two alternates, Homans and Me- Carthy, are newcomers of proven ability It looks to me like the strongest team the United States has yet put in the field. Of course, it devolves on the captain to rank his team for the singles and to pair and rank the men for the foursomes, and equally of course Mr Jones will not announce his ranking and pairings until the day before the competition. So I am merely setting out a per- sonal opinfon, written in advance, as to the probable order in singles and four- somes and the pairing for the four- somes. smoke —and what a smoke it is! Consolidated Cigar Corp., New York el Clear & To- Pennsvivania Ave, n, D. € tributor, Cap on 0% N.W.. Washingto \United States Walker Cup Team Is Best in History, Says Keeler My guess for the Singles rating is as follows: . Robert T. Jones, jr. . George Von Elm. . Jess Sweetser. Chick Evans. . Prancis Ouimet. Harrison Johnston. Watts Gunn. . Roland MacKenzie. As amateur champion, Bobby cannot escape putting himself at No. 1. That is a convention in the international match. He will not settle his ranking until he has seen all the boys and ob- served them in practice, naturally. The pairing of partners is a ticklish problem. The idea is to put men to- gether who will work well together, playing alternate strokes with the same ball. I fancy the line-up and order of | ranking will be about as follows: Von Elm and Sweetser. 2. Jones and Evans. 3. Johnston and Ouimet. 4. Gunn and MacKenzie. Of course, the plan of play is for the | British No. 1 in singles or foursomes to play the American No. 1. All matches are at 36 holes. I wonder how far I've missed the line-up? HENRY GEORGE HOYAS ARE SEEKING INDOOR SPORTS SITE Georgetown University must find a | new place to stage its basket ball games | and boxing matches the coming season as the Arcadia auditorium, which has been used by the Blue and Gray, has been converted into bowling alleys. Last year with Elmer Ripley, member | of the former Washington pro’ team, as conch the Hoyas developed a bang-up court combination. and it as _just about the most successful season a Hill- top five has ever enjoyed. Good crows assembled at the Arcadia and saw Georgetown give some of the leading col- lege combinations of the East and South the sternest sort of opposition. Boxing bouts ‘staged against teams of leading institutions in the Arcadia was another big feature of the Winter sports season here. Just what place the Blue and Gray will secure to stage the highly attractive contests it has arranged for the coming season both in basket ball and boxing is uncertain.

FOR ALL HANDS We Give You “The Best” * Real 16-01. Too! Weigh Som: 1/ : LEO THROWS HIPS INTO TEE SHOTS BY SOL METZGER. LEO DIEGEL GETS HIG BODY INFO DRIVE.~ HANDS LEADING CLUQHEAOQ‘ r & 4 o .Y « [N ) i “I would rather see Leo Diegel drive than any other player,” said a fan at the recent open. So we followed Leo and noted his tremen- dous wallops. farther than _most pros was honest enough to remark that he didn’t know exactly how he turned the trick. Here'’s my impression. Leo's stance is slightly open. His left hand is on top of the club. His backswing is quite unorthodox, as his right elbow is loose and ‘free from that side. But what gives him his great length is his ability to get his weight into the blow. Leo fairly throws his hips into the shot, his weight flowing forward bacause his left, knee is not braced stiffly. His shots are on line and not sliced, as one would expect from such misuse of the right elbow, because his body and hands both lead the clubhead at impact. That places the club's face at right angles to the di- rection line at impact. He uses a great, deal of wrist in delivering the blow and punches his club through with a powerful right hand. S To cure a habit of slicing you must first learn the cause. Sol Metzger's leaflet on “Slicing” takes up in_detail the causes.

Merwin, Author, Scores Tennis Officials for By the Associated Press. OSTON, August 28. — Samuel Merwin, author, today issued a | statement criticising the execu- tive committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Associatirn for barring William T. Tilden, 2d. for violating the player-writer rule. Mer- win is a friend of Tilden’s and a cle His statement fo lows: “It seems to me high time for som¢- | body to speak up with a little plain | sense on this Tilden business. | “The spectacle of an over-solemnized | body of tennis officials in conclave, | charging, fulminating, spreading per- sonal calumny like nothing on earth but a school of cuttle fish emitting sepla, is disturbing to honest sports- manship and distressing to the sense of humor. “Mr. Tilden fs accused of writing for the press. What of it? He writes in- terestingly and well. With pen and racket he has done more for the game than any other player or group of players that ever lived. Probably the old British leisure-class notion cf amateurism will never work out in terms of the American temperament But taking the sport as we find it, I doubt if there is one among them all players and ‘officials,” who approaches Bill Tilden’s fine and enthusiastic amateur spirit, or one who has s wholeheartedly, or at such cost to him- self, given his best to the game. “The present conflict appears, to the | reasonably well-informed observer, to be misleading. It fsn't honestly, a question of amateurism. That, in America, is & subtle and complicated problem, which the gentlemen of the United States Lawn Tennis Assoclation have never comprehensively faced.

There are men, no longer in power in the United States Lawn Tennis Association, who would relish re- suming the reins. 1t is fun to run a show, and, as all of us know who have looked into the relationship between business and publicity, it is far from un- profitable. “Then Tilden is fair game, of course— has been for years—because he has had | the courage to speak out for the mere players. keep quiet and do what he’s told.
