VY WL ENTER RING 85 FAVORITE Will Qutweigh Ray From 6 to| 8 Pounds in Bid to Avenge 1928 K. 0. Br the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 22—If they doubled Madison Square Gar- den’s seating capacity it would be too small for the 10-round match between Jimmy Mec- Lamin and Ray Miller tonight. One hitter has been known to jam the Garden to the doors; when they match two sluggers there isn't an in- door arena capable of holding all the fistic faithful who would like to be in on_the death. Prospects are for a crowd of close to 21000 and a gate approximating | $100,000. The faithful fan doesn't care espe- cially what the boys are fighting for 80 long as they fight. Miller and Mc- Larnin are battling for no title; nothing in particular is at stake. Fighting at 140 pounds, Jimmy will outweigh his blonde Chicago rival by from six to eight pounds. Jimmy has high hopes of landing a welterweight title bout before the year is out, and he won't be likely to get it if he fails to avenge the technical knockout de- feat Miller plastered on him in Detroit last year. Miller is primarily a believer in the offensive efficacy of the left hook, Mec- Larnin does not particularly favor either of his hand§. ‘The consensus seems to be that if it goes any further than four rounds it will be only because Miller and Mc- Larnin develop a too great respect for each other’s hitting ability. The betting has McLamnin on the long end of 8-to-5 odds. SONNENBERG-TURNER WIN. GRIFFIN, Ga., March 22.—Joe Turner, Washington, D.

Refusal of Joe Dundee to post a $10,000 forfeit to assure defense of the title caused the N. B. A. to de- clare his title vacated last night. LOUGHRAN COURTING A TEST ON WEIGHT By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 22—To prove he is encountering no difficulty in making the 175-pound limit, Tommy Loughran invited the skeptics to weigh him to- day, six days before his light-heavy- weight championship battle with Mickey Walker at the new Chicago stadium. Reports have persisted during the able to trim his weight and that he might have to fight at catchweights, for- feiting the title to Walker. Loughran engaged in a long workout yesterday, mixing six rounds with his two negro sparring partners, taking a good road trip and smashing the bag for several rounds. Walker has ended his training at his New Jersey camp and will arrive here tomorrow.

I am sure we will find others are opened.” It now appears that the sixteenth hole at Congressional (which, by the way, gressional Country Club, now on Friday, March 29.

Jackson is certain that the owner of the property across the road from the green will not plant corn in his adjacent field this spring, which will permit free passage of air through the corner in which the green is located and keep out brown patch. In past seasons the tall corn growth has kept air away from the green and created an ideal condition for the spread of brown patch. Tommy Armour, until lately the Con- gressional pro, is expected to arrive in Washington a week from today to clean up matters there, remove his stock and turn the shop over to his brother Alex, who will hold down the pro job at Con~ gressional this year. Tommy will be one of the competitors in the North and South open cham- pionship at Pinehurst next Tuesday and Wednesday, and will return immediately and prepare for his new job at Detrait. His brother Alex yesterday confirmed the news that Tommy's Detroit post will | O'shanter Club of Detroit, the million- be the professional berth at the Tam aires’ club of the automobile city. Alex declares the membership fee is some- at Tam.O'Shanter, & figure which again brings to mind by comparison how cheaply devotees of the game get their golf in Washington. John I. Tierney, a self-styled “duffer” of Congressional, has accomplished the ultra in golf shots, holding a full iron shot for an eagle 2 on a par 4 hole. His feat was accomplished on the sixth hole at Congressional, which measures about 325 yards to the temporary green on which the cup was placed when Tierney holed his second shot. Tierney, who was playing with his son, hit a mediocre drive, then played a midiron shot which ended in the cup. Tony Sylvester, Bannockburn profes- sional, declares members of the club have found that with one exception, all the regular greens which were placed in use last Friday for the first time, are in first-class condition. The exception is the fourteenth green, which les in a corner of the woods and gets little of the morning sun. Sylvester says it may be dug up and replanted this Spring. Meanwhile, course corstruction work goes merrily on at Bannockburn, with the dam near the seventeenth green nearly completed, and the new second green practically ready for planting. Dr. T. J. W. Brown, in charge of the construction work, hopes to have the new second ready for play early in the coming season. Washington Golf and Country Club members have found the greens and fairways recently rolled and now much truer to tee shot and putt than they were a few days ago. Greenskeeper ‘Whaley has put a light roller over many of the fairways and has rolled the put- ting greens also with a lighter roller, smoothing out many of the dents and undulations created during the Winter. ‘Washington was one of- the courses which did not go off its regular greens during the Winter, and so far as the naked eye can determine, the greens have not suffered to any noticeable ex- tent. The work of clearing away the hill in front of the tenih tee has been completed and a good drive will not now strike into the hill and lose its length. Chairman Paxton of the golf com- mittee plans to call a meeting of his committee early in April to consider details of the coming Spring tourna- ment, which will officially open the tournament season around the Capital.
