POWERS. season was not Bobby Jone: * United States, finalist in the Britis! dian championships, Miss Collett LEVELAND, November 4.—The outstanding golfer of the 1929 s, Horton Smith or Harrison John- ston. For brilliance and achievement the laurel branch goes, without contest to Miss Glenna Collett. Champion of the h and a semi-finalist in the Cana- not only is America's greatest woman golfer, but one of the three outstanding stars of all time and all climes. Miss Collett opened her most successful competitive season by advancing to the finals of the British at St. Andrews, where she was beaten by Miss Joyce Wethered—her only superior on the fair- ways. But even in that defeat the American girl won new honors, for her 34 over the first nine of the historic Scottish course was one of the greatest performances ever recorded in golf. In the United States champion- ship, at Oakland Hills, Miss Collett not only proved herself a master golfer, but a great fighter. Four down and four to go in her match with Mrs. Harley Higbee, the Cali- fornian fought back with the spirit of a Hagen and, after squar- ing the duel on the home green. won on the first extra hole. Then in the finals she annihilated Mrs. Leona Pressler—a fine golfer— with an avalanche of birdies and cagles. ' Miss Collett turned record-breaker at | Oakland Hills when she won the cham- plonship for the fourth time. Three others—Miss Beatrix Hoist, Mrs. Dor- othy Campbell Hurd and Mrs. Alexa Stirling Fraser—have won the United States_championship three times, but Miss Collett is the only one to better that mark. Playing the most consistent golf of her life, Miss Collett already has made plans to invade Britain again next Spt and it is. within the bounds of possibility that in 1930 she may be the champion of two nations. Helen Hicks Second. Second among the outstanding women of golfers of the season was Miss Helen Hicks of Long Island. This dyoun' woman enjoyed splendid success during the entire year, her greatest achlevement was in the 72-hole medal lay championship of the Women's estern Golf Association. Over the long Flessmoor course she had con- secutive 78s and a tatal of 320. She also won the Canadiah, where she de- feated Miss Collett, divided medalist honors in the United States national and uupwnd numerous minor tourna- ments. M":.'heo' S. Hill of Kansas City o:u‘gg was third ranking player year. She won the Western and trans- ‘mississippi titles and was a semi-finalisf in the national. After winni the medal in the Western, Mrs. Hill was Litur of Los Angeles, . feated Mrs. Lifur to win the champios ship with an eagle on the extra hole. In the national it took all of the bril- liance of Glenna Collett to eliminate the aggressive Missouri star. Fourth place is awarded Mrs. Leona Pressler of Los Angeles. Mrs, Pressler lost the Western championship she had held for two years, but reached the finals cf the national and played well in Pacific Coast events. reen Orcutt Hicks when the Long Island sharp- shooter was going at her best in the “ational. Mrs. Gregg Lifur is placed in sixth position. She not only went to the finals of the Western but placed fifth in the medal championship at Floss- moor and gave Mrs. Pressler a hard battle at Oakland Hills. Virginia Van ‘Wie was not a big winner during 1929, but she continues to be one of our best players, and tied with Helen Hicks for medal honors in the national, Mrs. Hurd Still Star. Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, a na- tional champion 20 years ago, continues to be one of the most consistent per- formers in women’s golf. Always on: of the East's leading players, she reach- ed the quarter finals at Oakland Hilis and there gave Mrs. Pressler a long, hard battle. Miss Bernice Wall of Oshkosh, Wis.. and Mrs. Leo Federman of New York are the other members of the ranking 10. Both were among the first 10 in the Western women'’s medal champion- ship and stars in the national. Mrs. Federman defeated Mrs. H. B. Stetson, former champion, in a 24-hole match that set a new record for longevity of play in the national, and then elim!i- nated Virginia Van Wie. In the third round she was beaten by Miss Wall, who then bowed to Mrs. Pressler. ‘Women's golf enjoyed its most suc- cessful season. New players of promise came to the front and many new scor- ing records were made. Among the out- standing new stars were Mrs. Larry Nelson of Dayton, Ohio, and Miss Rena Nelson of CI . The Chicago girl is only 16 years old, but in the Western was able to eliminate so strong a player as Virginia Van Wie.

Middleton has called his squad for first practice Wednesday night at 7:30 o'clock on the floor of the National Guard Armory here. In addition to Middleton, candidates for the team include Alvin McDevitt, Bill Middleton, Herb Kelser, Pud Smith, Mick Casey and Jarman. After losing by only 0 to 2 to the ‘Baltimore Polytechnic Institute eleven in Baltimore, Hyattsville High School’s soccer ball team, which recently won the Prince Georges County champion- ship, feels more hopeful with regard to its game with the Baltimore County winner to be played Wednesday in Bal- timore. It will be the first match for Hyattsville in the annual series for the State title conducted by the Playground Athletic League of Maryland. The Bal- timore County winner has not yet been announced.

Glenna Greatest Star of 29 : Scott-Von Porat Bout Winner to Fight Sharkey JONES, SMITH, JOHNSTON, UFFERS of the Washington Golf and Country Club may take heart at the improvements that now are going on at the tenth hole and at the changes to be made later at the seventeenth. Believing that the short player should have a better spot on which to place his tee shot than the present “ladies’ fairway,” which leaves a blind shot to the green over a hill, the board of gov- ernors of the club has authorized changes in the tenth hole along these lines: The deep and rocky gully beyond the hill that faces the tenth tee will be filled in, and the ground developed as short rough, similar to that which now borders the right of the fairway beyond the hill. The top of the hill will be cut down, with the earth and rock to be used to fill the gully. Some of the rock will be blasted out of the hill facing the tee. Players who hit exceptionally long tee shots may reach the upper fairway by shooting straight for the green from the back markers on the long tee. The alternative is to place a short drive in the “bowl” or ‘“ladies’ fairway,” so named, or try to drive the hill to the right of the saddle. Some players shy at the latter attempt because of the danger of the ball going into the gully, which leaves an unplayable lie. ‘When the changes are completed, it will be possible to carry the lowered hill without danger of undue penalty and there still will be a second shot demanding accuracy to reach and stay on the green. The right side of the fairway is the choicest side from which to pitch to the green, but the shot is hazardous because of the deep gully which now is being filled in. On the left a hooked ball will go out of bounds and may stop behind one of several large trees which leaves an impossible shot to the green. The board has decided the seven- teenth hole would become too easy an affair if the changes suggested were made. These changes were by way of filling in the ditch on the left of the fairway for a distance of about 45 y~-ds. It was decided, furthermore, it would be an expensive operation if the tee were moved to the right and up the slope to the east, as this would require construction of a new sixteenth green in a new location. It now is likely that the ditch at the right side of the fairway, which forms a bottle neck and an embarrassing hazard if the tee shot is sliced, will be WITH THE OFFICE EQUIPMENT LEAGUE.

The second shot still will have to be a pitch shot over the ditch, but the tee shot will become an easler affair. In the Summertime, in particular, the side of the hill- over the bump at the right becomes so hard that the ball must be played far up the hill to avold the ditch at the left. The changes proposed will make a great improvement in these two hcles and will make a better course to play when they are completed. Yesterday’s steady rain completely washed out the medal play tourney scheduled for yesterday at the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club. Two Navy officers entered in the event and went around the course, but their scores were carefully deleted. Out at Washington the golfers are playing Winter rules by order of the golf committee. Washington is one of the first of the local clubs to adopt the Winter rule regulation, which sim- ply means that lie may be im- proved in the fairway. Dr. James T. McClenahan, chairman of the greens committee, believes the Winter rule edict is a large factor in teegl:l the fairways in good shape throughout the Winter and well into Spring. With the semi-final round scheduled for today in the competition for the Siamese Cup at the.Chevy Chase Club, C. A. Fuller will meet W. G. Brantley, jr., in one match, and D. D. L. Mc- Grew will meet John H. Clapp in the other. The semi-final must be con- cluded on Wednesday and will be fol- lowed immediately by the final. R. P.

A revolutionary change in minor league base ball schedules, designed to bring seasons to a close semi-annually with a scramble by all clubs for rank- ing positions, is advocated by Dale Gear, ident of the Western League and Western Association. His idea is to split the play sea- son for all minor leagues, from class A on down. The last 8 days on each half season would be left open. Sub- sequently schedules would be arranged so first and second place clubs in each circuit would meet in a “final series” those last 8 days. ‘Third and fourth place teams also would be paired, and so on to cellar contenders.

DALLAS, November 4—The eyes of | Texas will be on the mighty Texas Uni- versity Longhorns again this week. The | team that has gone through three Southwest Conference tilts ~ without meeting defeat is scheduled to engage one of the most promising Baylor Uni- versity elevens of all time Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Austin. Longhorn stock suffered reely at all as the result of last week’s scoreless draw with Southern Methodist. Coach Clyde Littlefleld's machine still looms as an even bet to capture its second straight conference crown. Baylor apparently is ready for the vital encounter Saturday. After taking an unexpected licking from Centenary the previous week the Bears pulled themselves together and walloped Texas ‘Tech, 34 to 0. It is possible the title will hang on the result of the Longhorn-Bruin tussle, particularly 30 in the event of a Texas victory. Baylor, if victorious, still would gele‘ stiff tests against T. C.

MILWAUKEE, November 4. — Many | old-time fighters and ring fans all over the Middle West will go to Oshkosh, | Wis., tomorrow to attend the funeral | services for Eddie McGoorty, one of | the greatest middleweights in the his- tory of boxing. McGoorty died late Saturday night after a long illness. Although never | recognized as middleweight champion, McGoorty fought and defeated almost | every man in that division when it ing try he toured the world, winning the middle- weight and heavyweight championships of Australia. He later dropped both titles to Les and returned to the United States. He owned a string of race for a time, but went to Chicago about six years ago, where he operated a gymnasium and refereed boxing matches. McGoorty for several months had been in a Milwaukee hospital seeking relief from a throat ailment which finally caused his death.

The winner of this fight, provided it is a good one, will undoubt- edly be selected to oppose Jack Sharkey next February in the “Battle of Miami.” The willingness of Jimmy Johnston, manager of Scott, to sign for the bout was a surprise. Jimmy held out for the Sharkey fight .nd would not enter- tain any other offer until he was sure that the Bostonian was not to be had. During the past week Johnston was cabled an offer from the British board of boxing control for Scott to fight Sharkey in London. Jimmy knew well enough that Sharkey would not cross the ocean to fight Scott on his home diggings, having in mind the split-hair verdict that Eugene Corrl used in awarding Freddie Welsh the decision and world lightweight title after his fight with Wilis Ritchie. Jack wants none of that and, besides, he is ef- fectively tied up with the Madison Square Garden Corporation. Scott Taking Long Chance. Scott is taking a long chance with Von Porat. The latter is a skillful ringman and this observer for one thinks Otto is th> hardest puncher among the heavies. With all due re- spect to Max Schineling and ths power of his wailop, the German will have to produce more than he has to date be- fore the palm will b> awarded to him. Scott has peen around a long tmie now. He has been in the game 11 years and does not show signs of getting any better. A victory over the crude Cam- polo is the leverage Johnston is using to push Phil into big money, but before he can be taken seriously Phil will have - to_hurdle Von Porat. The name of Schmeling continues to crop up in discussicns anent the vacant heavyweight title. While it is true that no tourney would bz complete without him, the Geiman will have to temper his stubbornness and show more re- spact for the feelings of the general sports public and promoters who would like to use him. Schmeling has taken the attitude that he is bigger than the boxing game and can have his own way about doing things. One of these is contempt of contracts signed by his manager and disregard of the rulings of th2"local boxing commission. Schmeling can ply his wares else- where than in this State, but it is hardly Jikely that any prominent hzlz- weight w.ll risk the displeasure of the commis-ion end the directors of Madi- son Sguare Garden by appearing fn a contest outside of New Yori with the German champion. Schmeling cannot expect to gain any re ition on his past record. He wiil have to engage in coniests against geod. big men and unless he fulfills his obligations, the public is bound to sour on_him was originally signed to fight ng and took the Campole match fter Max_gave notice he would not fight the Briton. That is the feason hil is 3 ories over this pair may be pleasing to the fans of Berlin, but they will not register over here. Heavyweights do not fight often enough to warrant the assumption that the winer of the Scott-Campola fight will be sent in against Schmeling in January. To do so would call for an- other engagement in February. In these days of ring warfare it is out of the question to ask a prominent heavy= weight to fight three times in three months. It was nothing unusual in the old days, of course. Now once or twice a year would be nearer to the point. Schmeling seems to be out in the cold. He has no one but himself to lame and at this juncture it looks like the winner of the Scott-Von Porat battle will draw the rich Miami prize in a bout with Sharkey, with winner hatans yesterday, but bad weather re- ulted in the game being called off. probably acclaimed the world’s chame plon.
