Helm Declaring for Strict Amateur Code Enforcement RULES NOT FAGLTY, SAYS NEW LEADER Holds Poor //dministration| of Them Ressponsibie for Oppositipn to Body. BY F. 'G. VOSBURGH. Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, November 21—A firm hand, one which only a decade ago was being used to hurl 56-pound weights and hammers, is to guide the Ama- teur Athlztic Union through the coming year. Taking office as president shortly be- fore the fortieth annual_ convention came (o a close, Avery Brundage of Chicago made it clear at once that the amatgur rules are in for strict enforce- men’. “U% is not the rules that are at fault,” said, “but the administration of them.” Chatting informally, he brought up fhe cases of “aheletes who have grown in ability, in say tennis or track, to such a point that they are wanted in | all sections of the country.” “Undoubtedly,” he said, done the sport of tennis a great deal of good whether he is an amateur or not. About the merits of his case I know little. ‘But my personal opinion is that un- a man has some source of income, e regular employment, outside of sport, he is a professional.” Promoters. who offer financial re- wards to amateur athletics are largely responsible for violation of the code, the new president added, indicating that a tight rein will be kept upon them.

The only move made by the conven- tion during its sessions here to make | -66! the amateur rules more strict was adop- tion of a rule making a man ineligible as an amateur for exploiting his ath- letic prowess whether or not he actu- ally receives compensation for so doing. Asked what could be done in the case of an athlete such as Paavo Nurmi, who might come to the United States, win additional prestige through ama- teur triumphs and then turn profession- al overnight, President Brundage re- plied, “I am afraid nothing—unless we knew that was the intention and then we would withhold sanction. “Men obviously brought over here for some one’s private interest will not be allowed to take part in amateur com- petition.” On the Olympic games, too, this izen of 42 has very definite ideas. He said he intended to propose to the Olympic committee that between one and two million dollars be raised Tie (Post’ Office). 114-4. co.(e:rz:e strikes—Brodie (Treasury), .894; Halloran (Treasury), .833; Clark (Army), v —4 « erce), 3 e B rea of Ensravioes 3041 Litzau (Treasury), 2.801. Treasury’s chances of going into first place were blasted when Bureau turned them back two out of three games. Bureau, however, was hard pressed to turn the trick, and were forced to roll the high set of the season. Uncle Sam's money-makers turned in games of 606, 590 and 560 for a total of 1,756. Treas- ury rolled games of 562, 553 and 586, a total of 1,701. Henderson, rolling anchor for Veter- ans’ Bureau, made a strong bid to help his team mates make a clean sweep of their set with the leading Merchants® Fleet team. His spare on a strike in the final frame managed to tie the game up with 582 each, only to lost out in the roll-off by a one-pin margin. Big games and sets were featured in all matches during the week, three sets over the 1,700 mark being turned, in as in the near future in order that the interest accumulating before the ensu- ing Olympiad might be used to pay the expenses of the team. The princi- pal would go on earning the necessary sum from Olympiad to Olympiad if once established.

His own unanimous election was a triumph for this plan of conciliation, which is expected to make the A. A. U. a more unified and effective body. “The attack of the N. C. A.

I've seen Bobby Jones when under the most severe pressure| possible, as he most certainly was at the eleventh hole of his match with Ray Gorton in the recent amateur cham- pionship, take every precaution before, putting. Jones was one down to Gar-] ton on this green, and the latter then sunk a 15-footer for a birdie 3. Jones then got down a 12-footer for a 'half’ and thereby saved himself from defeat, but not until he had sighted it ‘from both ends. I believe it was old Jack White who first hit upon a fine scheme for sight- ing putts. White would crouch dawn directly back of the ball so his head, was back of the line, lay his putter stgight out in front of him with the toe turned up, and that toe back of the middle of the ball, and sight the line over the tip of the toe, just as we sight a rifie, shot. He did that on short putts, too. And when he wasn’t quite sure hevd walk around and sight back at the ball over the middle of the cup. White knew the line when he took his odd stange. ‘Then he made sure to get ,his head down over that ball so there could be no possible chance of moving it during the stroke.

Y. BOXING BODY Will Meet Heavies as Well as Defend Light-Heavy Title, He Says. LOUGHRAN DEFES By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November 21— Barred by the New York Athletic Com- mission from boxing heavyweights in that State while he holds the light heavyweight championship, Tommy Loughran has issued an edict of his own. He says he will go right ahead with his plans to meet all comers. Loughran has defended his title four times since winning it in October, 1927. | He thinks there is no worthy contender for his title in sight. “I am going to fight heavyweights,” he says, “and before another year I think I will have demonstrated that I am the rightful successor to Gene Tunney. “The New York commission can ac- cegt that statement or do the only ther thing within its power, bar me from fighting heavyweights in that Stats be. “I don’t need to worry about getting heavyweight matches. I “have offers from all parts of the country and can make as much money elsewhere as in New York. “I have a petition with the New York commission to fight the leading ‘heavyweights, particularly Jack Sharkey, believing such a bout would help clear up the heavyweight muddle. At the same time I made it clear I would de- fend my light heavyweight title against any first-class contender. “If the New York commission claims authority to tell me how to box and when, why don't they do something about a match between Mickey Walker and me? Walker, middleweight cham- pion, is the leading contender for the light heavyweight title because he knocked out Armand Emanuel.” Loughran returned recently from a building-up vacation in the Canadian woods and weighs about 185 pounds, 10 pounds over the light heavyweight limit.

Phones: Main 301 & 4202 King Solomon Holds Stubbornly| To Masonic Bowling_ Loop Lead BY R. J. ATKINSON. HE king reigns on. The king in this instance is King Solomon team of the Masonic Bowling Association, present leader. Since King Solomon stepped in front of the field some week ago, the general verdict has been “it cannot last.” Week after week has passed, and by some means or other the leaders have remained leaders. Last night the team holding the top berth dropped two of three games to Hiram, a team near the bottom of the heap. It happened that Columbia No. 285, the nearest rival for the lead in competition last night, also dropped a pair to Naval. St. John's, the second place team, will get into action tomor- row night. By winning two games, St. . | John’s can step into a tie for the lead, and by taking three, will jump to the front. King Solomon’s reign has been the subject of much comment among the league bowlers. A team that never has finished among the first score in the 15 i|years’ history of the circuit, managed to get in front early in the campaign and is fighting stubbornly to retain that position. Walker Helps Team. Much of the success of the team now heading the title parade is attributed to the sensational work of Walker, who is setting the individual high average pace. A flexible handicap system in use in the league also plays a prominent part in keeping the teams well bunched. Walker's rise in the Masonic circuit has been about as swift and sensational as that of any individual. He is a com- parative newcomer to bowling ranks, having started in the Masonic loop three years ago. He now holds a sub- stantial grip on the high average laurels, topping Watson of La Fayette by nearly three pins per game. King Solomon’s battle to retain the lead is not the only interesting featurc of the league this year. A merry scrap is in progress all down the line. Five teams are rated at .700 or better, with Harmony and King David tied for fourth honors. Earl Stocking, one of the veterans, declares that his King David team is going to make the strongest bid for the championship. There seems to be a sound basis for his belief. King David has maintained a steady march from midway down the list to a posi- tion where, by taking three games to- morrow night, it can step into first place. Stocking a Star. Stocking has been one of the big surprises of the current campaign, and | his consistent shooting has kept his | team on the climb for weeks. His 21 strikes are high among the individuals and his average is the best he has maintained in his long career. Any one of three teams can take the top position tomorrow night, St. John Harmony and King David having p sibilities. St. John's will clash with Takoma. a mid-way team; Harmony 1s booked to battle Lafayette, one of the strongest teams, and King David is to engage Hope, another team hovering near the .500 mark. Plenty of spirit may be expected in these matches to- morrow night at Convention Hall. By losing one game by a single pin last night. King Solomon’s lead was imperiled. After splitting the first two games, Hiram, trailing fourth from last in the title chase, copped the deciding game, 485 to 484. Naval administered two decisive defeats to Columbia, No 285, thereby saving the slight lead for King Solomon. !

Beeques managed to hold their scant lead in Washington Ladies’ League, despite the fact that Commercials twice defeated the pace-setters.

LOUIS, November 21 (P~ A new all-time tenpin bowling score for Middlewestern competition has been made by the Roberts Under- taking team of St. Louis. That five-man team topped 3,17 pins in the Middlewest tournament last night, thus beating the previous record score, 3,087, made by the H. W. Jordan team of St. Paul, two years ago. her timely marks aided her team mae terially. Lorraine Gulli, the Beeque star, and Marjorie Bradt, Commercial’s captain, who were expected to show their best, failed to better their aver- ages. Catherine Forteney of Columbians, tied Gulli’s high flat game mark at 94. Convention Hall's crack team will not get into intercity competition until De- cember 1, when an all-star Baltimore aggregation will be met in the Mary- land city.
