Fields and Thompson Ready for Welterweight “Championship™ Bout Tonight FORMER IS CHOICE ATBTOSTO W Battle in Chicago Promises !¢ to Be One Between Lefts and Rights. By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, March 25—A pair of ‘ Fields and Young Jack Thomp- son, battle for gold and a dis- puted ring crown, the world welterweight championship, before a full house in the old Chicago Coliseum tonight. ‘The combat, billed to go 10 younds to & decision at 147 pounds, carried a championship atmosphere through the action of the National Boxing Associa- tion, which ruled Joe Dundce had loafed away his claim to the throne and that the winner of tonight's fight would be recognized in its 32-State domain as his successor. Fields, a spectacular and exception- ally fast boxer, ranked an 8-to-5 favor- ite over the San Francisco negro. Thompson, & smart, puncher and a vicious finisher, sk; rocketed to fight fame last Fall when | he finished Dundee in a non-champion- ship fight in two rounds here. Later, he lost a hair-line decision to Fields. ‘Tonight's battle will be one of lefts against rights. Fields, a product of Chicago's Ghetto, but who, like Thomp- son, earned his fighting spurs on the Pacific Coast, has a lightning left hook. ‘Thompson, who smashes his most devas- tating blows with his right, said he was not in condition when he lost to Fields last time, but that he expects to stow mhtm'.l away within six rounds to- Six bouts, all five-rounders, will sup- rt the main event.

He Wins Battle CHICAGO, March 25.—Under Promoter Paddy Harmon’s in- tricate financial plan, Mickey Walker wins if he loses and loses if he wins in his bout with Tommy Loughran for the light heavyweight championship Thursday night. This is the arrangement: Loughran is to receive 55 per cent of the gross profits. The gate is expected to be worth $300,000. Out of his purse Loughran must pay Walker $50,000 if he, Loughran wins. 1f Walker wins Loughran must pay his challenger $10,000. . Thus Walker loses approximately $40,000 by winning and wins that much by losing. Jack Kearns, Walker’s manager, explains the arrangement by saying the light heavyweight title is easily worth several hundred thousand dollars and win in a hurry. that Mickey will be in there to Walker and Loughran settled down to their final training grind today.

CHICAGO, March 25.—The youthful Franz Duelberg of Germany and the speedy Pranco Georgetti of Italy have another siX-day bike race victory to their credit, the second for each this season. Fighting off the persistent challenge of the French “Red Devils,” Alfred Le- tourner and Paul Brocardo, the Duel- berg-Georgetti combination pedalled 2,202 miles and nine laps and scored 507 points to win the grind that ended Saturday night. The French team had the same mileage, but had only 393 points. - Duelberg paired with Otto Petri to win a six-day grind in Berlin in Jan- uary. Georgetti and Gerald Debaets won the recent New York race. UNIOR basketers of the University of Maryland_ have established for themselves an unprecedented record on the campus, never hav- ing been beaten in a court game since their organization three years ago as the freshman squad. Recently they won the 1929 school title, retaining the championship for the third conszcutive year. Y During their long reign, but one team has succeeded in tying them. That was the freshman sextet this season, which | held the champs to a 13-13 deadlock during the series. Catherine Barnsley has captained the juniors to victory each year. Her team- mates are Marguerite Claflin, Evange- line Gruver, Estelle Hoffa, Dorothea Freseman, Margaret Karr, Elizabeth Jones and Margaret Meigs. Miss Meigs was one of the outstanding performers of the 1929 title race. It was her close guarding which proved the biggest fac- tor in staving off defeat during the hotly contested tilt with the Frosh. Virginia Peaseley, student coach, was also the manager of basket ball, Miss Peaseley will recommend the outstand- ing players of the series for varsity letters to be presented at the annual athletic banquet held in the Spring.

UST how many thousands of golf- ers are facing the new campaign with the fear of slicing in their hearts and_the shadow of slicing over their heads is an impossible estimate. But their number is legion piled on legion. The hook may get you into more trouble than the slice, but the hook has a better feel and usually a longer run, where the sliced ball has the taste of ashes and the feel of com- plete surrender. Any scientist who can take the slice out of golf would be conferring a boon to humanity, since it is something that eats into the soul of such a human army. How can the slice be cured? This is rather a large order, since a number of things can lead to this heavy malady. It might be of more benefit to take up | the main cause of slicing, for if this main cause is cured there will be much less likelihood of any minor causes de- veloping .trouble. One famous expert, says that the main cause of slicing is starting the club back with the right | hand in control. Another says that it| is not pivoting or turning, “leaving the | left shoulder behind.” 1t so hapens that these two faults work together. The golfer who takes the club back with his right hand in full control is almost certain to leave his left shoulder behind, which merely means that the left shoulder | doesn’t pivot enough. | If the left side, left shoulder. left hip and left knee are turned sufficiently and properly toward the right on the back swing, then the right hand and| arm will hardly have control of the back swing. If you watch most bad slicers you will see an almost total ab- sence of pivoting or turning. They face to the left of the course to allow for the slice and keep their bodies almost rigid. When the left shgu]dker ix"}ncfle"d or stopped during the back swing the golfcrpge almost certain to bring the club head across the face of the ball, on the down swing. It is almost im- ! possible under this condition to swing “from the inside out.” He will be sure to swing from “the outside in.” And| the worse he slices, the more he will, lock or check that left shoulder. i The club head should be taken back on an arc slightly inside the line of flight and it should come down on an, arc slightly inside the ball. | To get this effect it is necessary to| let the left shoulder turn freely and| comfortably toward the right on the back swing. One can do this and still slice for other reasons, but one will be much less likely to do so. Here are just a few suggestions for those golfers who are constantly both- ered. annoyed, harassed and dismayed by slicing: 1. Start with a square stance, not an open one. 2. Get the left hand more over the club shaft, with the back of the left hand showing. 3. Be sure on the body turn to- ward the right that the left shoulder isn't locked or checked or left be- hind. Let the left side turn mat- urally and easily, just as if you were drawing back to throw a base ball. These three things will prove to be a big help in curing a slice. The next step is to concentrate on hitting with the club head and not TENPIN LIST IS SHIFTED IN SEVERAL POSITIONS CHICAGO, March 25 (#)—First place in the doubles division was the princi- pal change made by bowlers from eight States who invaded the American Bowl- ing Congress tournament alleys yester- day. The new mark was set by the St. Paul team, Arthur Kasal and James Mitchell. Several other positions changed hands yesterday, including fifth in the singles, taken by H. Yahn of Milwaukee with 679, and third in the all events, won by C. Trucks of St. Louis, with 1,880. G. Bricker of Cleveland tied with J. Parr of Jackson, Mich,, for sixth in the singles by scoring 676. DISTRICT A. A. U. CONFAB SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT Whether application for an A. A.

But thé Baron didn't do a great deal last season for one reason or another. He needs experience. If he gets to the Inaugural and shows enough Garth will let him step out in the Prince Georges. Where he will race afterward and in what company will be determined by his performances at Bowie and Havre de Grace. Garth will name him in early April for the $10,000 Chesapeake, the Harford Association’s gallop of 11-16 for 3-year-olds that generally brings a flock of Preakness and Ken- tucky Derby hopes to the post for a soul-testing showdown.

S | after that make a creditable showing in the Chesapeake, Garth would take him back to Pimlico oozing optimism from every pore. Grey Coat, a gray in color, won his maiden race at Saratoga August 11 when he licked Sin Cuidado, Fly Light, Prowler, Mint Sauce and some others at five furlongs and a half. A better per- formance was his six furlongs in 1:13 in front of Mill Hand and Roseling at Bel- mont Park in Scptember in a revival of the Mineola claiming stzkes.

Near the end of the half O'Meyer tied the Severiin, helped by the passing of mis yerlin, hel v passing o mm';, scom?etdhe Germans’ other two is impossible to keep from slicing. But | point when one lets the body turn to the right as fully as it should turn, which is well around, it is then much harder to rush the body and hands in ahead of the swing—at least too far ahead. The club head has a long way to travel. The body has only a short dis- tance to move. If there is lack of body turn on the back swing, then the body is i‘r‘:r ahead of its place on the down swing. ‘What part of the body should leave' the pivot or body turn?

Non-skid Power=-Permanence —A Revelation!? N THIS fast-moving age, no single feature of tire service is more im- portant than absolute non-skid safety. Guarantees that mean run- ning out much of the promised mile- age on smooth rubber are poor safety insurance. ¢ In the Dual-Balloon, General in- troduced for the first time greater mileage coupled with greater per- manence of non-skid. Its power- ful tread—the slowest-wearing ever developed—does away with the haz- ard of running on “‘bald-headed” tires. It guarantees more than big mileage—safer, surer mileage season after season.
