Too Much Advice Given. “Today we hear of such things as poor timing, bad rhythm, intentional slices and hooks, backspin, playing from the inside out, long discussions about the follow through and admonitions to keep the eye on the ball and the head down. “If we fail to keep up with this sort of golf ourselves our friends take it unon themselves to furnish free advice, and sometimes at the most inopportune mo- ments. One must constantly be re- minded of his faults, whether he is pleased to hear about them or not.” +_ My friend hit the naii on the head.

VERYTHING will not be so rosy for the star woman golfers of Washington next week if Vir- ginia Holzderber, the present holder of the woman's Mid- atlantic title, keeps on playing golf “better than she knows how.” That brand of golf, dubbed “better than she knows how” by the fair Virginian her- self, yielded Her nothing more than an 81 in a practice round over the Colum- bia course yesterday, a mark that has _not been. touched by a woman golfer since Dorothy White Nicol shot a scintillating 79 in winning the District ‘woman's title over the same course earlier in the season. © ‘Woman golfers who tried the course yesterday found a Columbia course ‘whose tricky putting greens were not made any easier by a blustery wind ‘which turned good putts into bad ones and carried the ball hither and yon with considerable abandon. Notwith- « standing the conditions, Miss Holzderber continued along the !ve;)‘ te:;n’ l;:h he{ scoring way, registering her 81 withou any particular trouble and fnding the long holes to her liking. ‘The other day Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow of Elkridge, who held the title two years ago, came over to Columbia and shot an 87, with an 8 on one hole, which also sounds like bad medicine for the woman golfers of Washington who hope to be up in the title chase. This year's championship, which starts Monday over the Columbia course, ( will be the best the association ever has held. Prom the time the tourna- ment date was set Mrs. Willlam 8. Corby, president of the District Woman's Golf Association, worked unremittingly to secure the entries of many of the ‘women who play in the District events, * and to her is due most of the credit for the sizeable entry list, according to the officers of the Middle Atlantic Association. From Virginia have come the State champion, in the person of Mrs. Jean Jones, and a former holder of the title, also by the name of Jones—this time Mrs. W. Barham Jones of Norfolk. Miss Holzderber, who holds the mid-Atlantic and Maryland State titles; Mrs. Dor- othy White Nicolson, holder of the Dis- trict title; Mrs. J. M. Haynes, holder of two club titles, and a number of other ‘woman golfers who have not yet won titles comprise the field. The pairings | are to be made today, and there are| approximately 60 entrants, nearly dou- ble the number who entered last year at_Virginia Beach. ‘Mrs. Haynes and Mrs, Nicolson are | regarded- as Washington’s outstanding entrants in the tourney. Mrs. Nicolson is the Columbia record holder, while Mrs. Haynes knows every quirk and| turn of the course and is as determined | a match player as the District title holder.

There was a time when life eral times, and I have had a chance to observe the English and the cotch golter close up. I had a pretty good idea of what was what in Great Britain by reason of the many Scotch and Eng- lish players who came to this ccuntry and from whom I learned the game. The foreign players are not inclined to give as much deep study to the game as we do. When a man goes out for an atternoon’s golf he makes the most of it. He is never in a hurry and when he finishes he is satisfied to let his clubs rest. The word alibi, as used In sports, has only recently found its way into English and Scotch golf, and the great majority disdain to use it even now. The Englishman is a serious golfer in a way, but he is not what we would term a nut or a bug. terms applied to most of us over here. The American worries about this and that and he must get in his practice before rounds. It's unusual to see an Englishman go cut and practice as we do over here. An Englishman or a Scotchman going out with his little bag of golf balls for an hour's practice is almost unheard.of. He does not take as many lessons and an indoor gif school is never seen., More Progress in U. S. However, golfers are being developed here at a faster rate and our golf is be- coming more of a stable article than the golf brought to us originally from the other side. Science has helped to make us better players, even if it has given us fits of hysteria and unrest. The American ioves to get quick resuits in business or sport, and this is one rea- son, the principal reason, why we are going far ahead of Johnny Bull in a game we borrowed from him. Golfers today may not take the game as leisurely as the Scotch did a century ago, but they are making quicker prog- ress and are working along more scien- tific principles.

Lacey was to defend his club title at the Manor Club today against the strongest assault that can be brought to bear within the club on his crown. Lacey, who has held the club title for the last two years, was to meet Harry G.

T seems that one of the most difficult problems of foot ball of- ficiating is detecting the use of the tabooed “screen pass” and its * variations. The rules have been made more stringent and. clari- fled on this feature of the aerial game for the 1929 season, but it rs were obliged to call in a half appeal for co-operation in remov- “We will be glad to co-operate, scrupulously avoiding any endeavor to circum- vent the screen pass rule, if officials will be eagle-eyed in preventing the other fellows from getting away with it. We will play the game the way you want it, providing we have the proper protection.” The important thing, however, s that the rules makers, headed by Edward K. Hall, have sought and gained the aid of the men who mould the game and the players. The new fumble rule, put in to minimize the “breaks,” was drafted largely on the recommendation of the coaches. If they also will co-operate in eliminating “screen pass” complications, the jobs of gridiron officials will be made considerably easier. 'OLF form is still about as difficult to figure as anything in sport. Johnny Goodman of Nebraska trailed Bobby Jones by something like 24 strokes in the United States open, but he beat the great Georgian in the first round of the United States amateur two months later. At Ancaster, in the Canadian wom- en's tournament, Helen Hicks conquered Glenna Collett in the final round, but at Detroit, a few days later in the Ameri- can championship, Miss Hicks lost to Maureen Orcutt, who then fell before the superior play of Miss Collett. The only answer to this tangle of results seems to be that Maureen has as much of an Indian sign on Helen as Glenna upon Maureen. “DOC ADKINS, an old-time pitch- ing star with the Baltimore Orloles, has one son, Fenton, playing tackie at North Carolina and another, Emory, & center at Duke,” writes Fred Last year he had reduced it to' 95 ana this year should see another stroke or two reduction.

Any opponent of Southern California may be apprehensive it is mixed up in ‘a track meet any Saturday this season.

He turned out a number of giant-killing teams at little Santa Clara College before accepting the cail from Yale. Walsh captained the famous Notre Dame team of 1924, when the “Four Horsemen" were galloping over the gridirons from New York and Prince- ton to Pasadena. Heroically he played center against Princeton and the Army in the t that year with a pair of cracked hands, done up In a tape and bandage cast that made his fine passing a remarkable achievement. He has brought a background of nat- ural ability as leader and coach to New Haven, where the Old Grads need have no fears about the development or inspiration of the boys who line up from tackle to tackle. ‘Three of the “Four Horsemen” are head coaches this year, with Harry Stuhldreher at Villanova, Elmer Lay- den at Duquesne, “Sleepy” Crowley at Michigan State, while the fourth, Don Miller, is an assistant at Ohio State. Tales of a Wayside Tee agree upon the proper sort of secti amateurs. Golf has spread to such an extent now all over the country that it might be difficult to say how many entries the East, Middle West, Far West, Northwest, Southwest, South and Southeast should be entitled to place in a championship test. There will always be an argument or & kick of some sort, no matter what type of championship is named. But the sectional qualifying system seems to be much the saner way of handling the job. In the first place, no golfer then will have to take a long trip and fail to qualify. If he fails, it will be near home, and he will be at almost no expense. Today more than 100 golfers each year, four-fifths of the fleld, lose time ‘and money in long trips that lead to qualifying failure. ‘They would be up against no such handicap in failing to qualify at home, or at least near home, since a number of spots would be named to cover every section. VWITH 64 qualified to enter, the re- mainder of the program is simple enough.

Some fine match play golfers are 0o uncertain or too weak at medal play to break through the qualifying round.

It is a certainty that they will not be abolished until some arrangement is made later on to have sectional qualifying rounds, where 64 can qualify and where Monday's matches can be started at 36 holes and carried through the week at the 36-hole pace. Just when this will come about is another matter. soundest way of handling the situation, if any committee can ever RICE It is much the ional representation. The P. G.

No match play championship can ever be as fair a test as 72 holes of medal play, where every man in the field is meeting exactly the same opposition. In match play a golfer shooting & 75 might lose to a 73, where some one else shooting an 81 would win against an 82. This happens frequently. Golfers breaking 75 might be beaten, while some other averaging around 78 might go on and win. But this part of the program can't be helped. It must be taken for granted in advance that the element of chance or luck is much lerger in match play than it can be in a_ 72-hole medal play competition, where no one round flash can mean anything unless the player has the stuff to follow it up.

SEEK BIG TOURNEY AT CONGRESSIONAL Local Club Wants Woman’s National Golf Event in 1931 or 1932. l national event either in 1931 or 1932. Telephone messages passing from Defroit to Washington during the recent woman's cham- plonsnip tourney in Detroit brought to the attention of the woman's champlonship committee the clain of the Congressional Club for a champlonship within the next three years. At the same time the name of the Columbia Country Club was mentioned as one of the possi- bilities for the championship, but the position of Columbia is that it is not a bidder for the title chase. Only in the event the United States Golf Asso- clation wishes Columbia to hold the championship over its course will the tourney be held by Columbia. The bid of Congressional, on the other hand, is said to be positive, leav- ing the inference that Congressional i< in a receptive mood and will take all necessary steps to get the champion- ship in 1931 or & year later. Buffalo Finds Opposition. The Buffalo Country Club was chosen as the scene of the 1930 event, but early in the champlonship the, women let it be known that it was not suitable to them. Now, although the Buffalo Club has made elaborate preparations to entertain the woman golfers of the Nation next year, it is virtually certain that the championship will go to the Los Angeles Country Club. There are several reasons for the change, chief of them being the fact that Glenna Col- lett has transferred her real estate activities from the East to the sunny slopes of California and now is selling California footage. Glenna is sald to have presented the claim of the Golden State for the 1930 event in such fash- fon that the powers that be in goif virtually decided to make Buffalo wait until 1931 for the big show. The matter of spending money at the recent Detroit championship strikes home to most of the women. It arose chiefly around the caddie question and spread out to include automobile hire from Detrolt to Birmingham, Mich., where the champlonship was played, and even to hotel accommodations. Complain of Spending. Some of the women who returned from Detroit complain that one of the semi-finalists paid her caddle at the rate of $20 a day for a single round of golf; that even though Birmingham is 20 miles from Detroit, there were no motor bus accommodations for the play- ers, and that some of the big spenders paid upward of $15 a day for taxl hire | from Detroit to the club, which their | less_wealthy sisters could not afford. The upshot of the matter is that unless the United States Golf Associa- tion takes some action setting a maxi- mum amount which a caddle may be paid there is certain to be considerably | more grumbling.

FOSTER. HE last echo of the world series had not finished circling around the stand at Shibe Park in Philadelphia when some major league men began to plan for the season of 1930. ‘The tables have turned in the Ameri- can League. The New York base ball club is no longer the target of seven clubs. When a team becomes a cham- plonship team it is a target. The Ath- letics have relieved the Yankees of that responsibility. American League men think the Ath- letics will be harder to defeat in 1930 than they were this year because of their experience and their confidence in their prowess. Added to this is the fact that the Athletics are a youthful outfit. That is more of a factor in their favor than almost all other qualities, The Athletics were & lucky club in ‘the regular American League season and they were all of that in the world series. Connie Mack says so. There is no better witness in the world to bear evidence to what luck may do. It is tradition in base ball history that the Athletics either are very lucky in a world series or they are very bad. There seems to be no half way for them. ‘The Athletics could play the same team in 1930 as they have now, but the American League experts say Con- nie won't do that. They predict infield changes. Mack won't be likely to fool with the outfield after the good work that was done in the big series. Bing Miller will stick it out if he will begin to bat next year where he left off this year. Western managers of the American League say they will make it harder for Mack in 1930. Dan Howley, who isn't an American League manager any longer, says the opposition.in the far end of the circuit against Philadelphia will be tougher than it was this season.

(For the Associated Press.) One thing about these English- men—you rarely catch them in an exaggeration. You might say never. There_was Cyril James Hastings Tolley, British amateur golf cham- pion, who romped through the first two rounds of the United States amateur championsh’p at Pebble Beach and was stopped by the ex- cessively deliberate “Doc” Willing of Portland in the third round. In a practice round three or four days before the tournament, Bobby Jones and Harrison Johnson were playing an informal international match with Tolley and Eustace Storey, Britons. Bobby started cas- ually and it was Johnson and Storey who carried the burden the first few holes. Beginning at the fifth hole, Jones suddenly let fly one of his cele- brated bursts of golf and equaled oH RAWTHER! the mark he had set at Flossmoor & year before, playing nine consecu- tive holes in 28 strokes. As the foursome walked over to the fourteenth tee, Jones being seven under par for the last nine holes, Tolley remarked, in his dry, casual way: “I say, Bobby, you're rather well, you know!” I love the way these Englishmen do not rave. Since they were chil- dren they have been taught, in their homes and in their schools, that “not too badly” is praise enough, especially for themselves, and that their blame for others should be equally temperate. 1 asked Tolley for his opinion of the truly great Pebble Beach links, about which so many reams of praise and verses of paeans have been written—with justice. “What do you think of Pebble Beach?” I asked Tolley. 5 “Very decent course,” said Cyril. playing HUAT WELL-RATED FLYWEIGHT BOXER Win Over Belanger Reveals Class of Speedy Little European Champ. BY JOHN J. ROMANO. ORTONO, October 19.—Eugene Huat, European flyweight cham- pion, demonstrated his class as a fiyweight of the first rank by stopping Frenchy Belanger, for- mer flyweight champion, recognized by the National Boxing Association, in the sixth round of their scheduled 10-round contest here Priday night. Huat started off supremely confident that he could beat the leading flyweight of this continent, and in the second round he dropped Belanger for a nine count. Frenchy fought back grimly, but he was no match for the hard- hitting Huat, who scored two knock- downs in the third and had Belanger covering up to avoid a knockout. Belanger rushed out for the fourth and attempted to take the lead from Huat, but his aggressiveness soon faded out. The little battler from France battered him from pillar to post, and in this round Referee Lou Marsh ex- amined a deep cut over Belanger's eye and wanted to stop the contest. Be- langer begged the referee to let him continue to fight, and Frenchy took fearful punishment in the sixth before he went out for the count. This fellow Huat brings into the fly- weight class a combination of the punching power of Jimmy Wilde, the “mighty atom,” and the prowess of Pancho Villa, an all-around ring gen- eral. Huat is every bit a fighter and proved it Friday night by scoring a de- cisive victory over one of the best fly- welghts on this continent. Huat is matched to fight Tazy Schwartz in Madison Square Garden, New York, on November 4. It stands to reason that Huat, who knocked out Spider Pladner, winner over Schwartz on a point decision, can duplicate Plad~ r's feat. = (Copyright, 1929.)

Or of the finny tribe: ‘Bowfin,” “Tuna,” “Shark” (common), “Whale" (often’ appropriate), “Octop! “Yel- lowtail.” Characteristics of the craft should not be overlooked, for instance; if a user of large amounts of gas and oil, we suggest “Anaconda” or perhaps “Gour- met” would do, having a pleasing for- eign sound. If she has a tendency to steer a bit sidewise, “Crab” is the an- swer to your prayer for a name. If you desire something high-sounding or ritzy you have but to look through that part of the telephone directory where the rtment houses are listed for a wide choice. A wide beamy craft might do with “Bustle” for a name; a low, slender one with “Purse. A chronic leaker could be named “Sponge” and there is no law preventing the naming of a black-hull craft “Mammy.” An ex- ceptionally tight and dry craft might wear the name “Volstead” with honor, and if your boat be slow, call her the “Wallflower,” if you get the connection. Again, if you are so unfortunate as to possess one of those ancient !ume-El’(h ducing, smoky engines we can think of nothing better than “Lucrezia Borgia,” though we doubt that the lady ever used carbon monoxide as a medium of disposing of her rivals. One last suggestion—don’t name her after your wife and immediately after offer her for sale—unless you expect to name the new ship “Reno”| 'I 'HE letter received recently by many local yachtsmen from the super- vising inspector general of the Steam- boat inspection Service has been the cause of much puzzlement and mis- understanding among the recipients, most of them seeming to feel that an attempt is about to be made to com- pel all boat owners to submit to an ex- amination for this projected license, others fearing that we are about to have a large and cumbersome set of traffic rules foisted upon the boating fraternity. A great many of the re- plies call attention to the inadequacy of the present laws as applying to mo- torboats and suggest the re n thereof. It is understood that the legislation to which this letter refers is not for the purpose of compel all motor craft to carry a lice master, but to be a means of recog- nition for men qualified to carry on such work by reason of their experi- ence and ability. It would also form protection for the employer in the choos- ing of such employes, and serve as a means of eliminating the ignorant and unfit. It is also understood that the licenses would only be made available to American citizens and would prob- ably eliminate foreigners entirely. I am convinced that a careful considera- tion of this letter and the intent of the proposed legislation will result in the | hearty approval of the persons con- cerned, and along with their replies | thereto present an opportunity for them | to air thelr views with regard to ex-| isting rules and regulations.

Nebraska probably will not have its usual strangle hold on the Big Six Conference this year. Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas all promise to threaten the Cornhuskers’ supretaacy. Nebraska must rebuild a line scattered by graduations if it ex- pects to continue its conference lead- ership, Congressional Daily Sightseeing Flights Instruction WILDCAT IN ACTION LOUGHRAN STATES Ace Gave Champion Fierce Fight in Chicago, but Was Called Loser. BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN. Retired Undefeated Light Heavyweight Champicn of the World. HEY tell me Mickey Walker is finally going to defend his mid- dleweigit championship against Ace Hudkins. Mickey is a good fighter, strong, game and a hard puncher. When he held the welter- weight title he was not averse to put- ting it on the line for other fellows to shoot at, but it may be that the unex- pected result of his match with Pete Latzo scared him away from liberality when he won the middleweight title. Mickey went to Scranton to meet Latzo back in '25, not figuring he had a chance in the world to lose. * He got $25,000 for that match and had looked on it as easy money. He had knocked out Steve, Pete’s elder brother, and he thought he would have just as easy a time with the junior Latzo. Instead, Pete, boxing steadily and beating Mickey's swings with straight punches, came in under the wire first and Walker left the coal regions without any cham- pionship. ‘When he got the decision over Tiger Flowers and blcssomed forth as the king pin in the class above, Walker be- came more cautious. The last time he put his title in danger was when he fought Hudkins in Chicago a year ago last June. They fought in a driving rain and most of the newspaper men at. the ringside sald Ace had won with plenty to spare, but the referee raised Mickey’s hands. Hudkins Stepping Along. Ever since then Hudkins has been trying to get a return match. He has been winning steadily. He beat Ar- mand Emanuel, the clever light-heavy- weight, and he stopped Joe Anderson only the other night. At this time he seems to be at his very best, and that indicates a bad night for Mickey Walker. Ace can't box and isn't a great hitter in the sense that he can knock out any- one with a wallop. But he has been aptly named the “Wildcat.” He hangs on like a leech, battering away with both hands. It isn’t “pretty” fighting, but it's very hard to stop. And Hud- kine’ record shows that there have been very few men able to hurt him. There is one technical knockout in his record—Sergt. Sammy Baker ripped out an eyebrow that spilled so much gore the referee stopped the bout. But that seems to have been in the nature of an accident, as Hudkins has beaten Baker since then. Tussle for Walker. Whatever happens, though, Mickey Walker is in for trouble unless he hap- pens to land in the first round—and land hard enough to hurt the Wildcat. That takes some doing. Hudkins will be tougher to beat than Rene. Devos or anyone else who could be picked for the job of taking Walker's crown away. I guess the ace is the nearest approach to Battling Nelson the ring has seen in a long time. (Copyright, 1929. by North American News- paper Alliance.) HUGE GENOA BOXER WILL INVADE L. 5. Carnera, Nearly Seven Feet Tall, New Man-Mountain of Prize Ring. BY JAY VESSELS. Associated Press Sports Writer. They thought Victorio Maria Cam- polo was about the last thing in for- eign man-mountains. Six feet 617 inches tall and weighing 230 pounds, he was supposed to be the biggest in captivity. But now Victorio proves to be just another oversized invader compared to Primo Carnera, the Genoa giant, who has cast a menacing shadow over the home pugilistic fleld. Primo is a mere 6 feet. 10 inches in height and weighs an even 260 pounds. ‘This business of importi big boys from foreign lands began earnest about séven years ago when Luis An- gel Firpo came over. The vital statis- tics pertaining to his height and weight were 6 feet 2! inches and 220 pounds, respectively. g The transatlantic trail became popu- lar with the large men in subsequent years leading up to the current peak season. Primo really should be credited to 1928, though, since he was all set to sail then but had to wait until they could rip out a bulkhead and build him a special made-to-order stateroom. That's a tip straight from his ad- vance agent. Primo may be saved for the 1930 outdoor season. You can write your own explanation for that one, N IN WEST TAKE GAME SERIOUSLY CHICAGO, October 19 (#).—Western woman golfers took their game more seriously than ever during the 1929 sea- son. The rules committee of the Women's Western Golf Association reports it re- ceived more queries as to regulations this year than any two years in its history. Telegrams, letters and long distance telephone calls were made to the association by feminine mashie wielders to settle private and tourna- ment difficulties.
