‘SPORTS UARTER: MILLION OFFERED CERMAN Jack Is Figured to Be Only Opponent Who Would Draw | Big Gate With Max. N stadium _ outseating the local palace of swat, Madison Square Chicago stadium in process of construc- are willing to pay to corral some of the major fistic attractions the Garden peo- ple are supposed to monopolize. Last Spring the writer saw the huge Chicago stdium in process of construc- tion and told the boys about it. As usual, the reply was a merry ha ha. Now that the Chicago stadium is a reality and drawing big money, the wise boys are doing their best to get their fighters in on some of the shows there. | ‘The latest on the list to meet with derision is the fine big auditorium At- lantic City has built. Taylor, Gunnis and Duffy have offered Max Schmeling $350,000 to fight a prominent heavy- weight there February 22. “Who, asks the wise ones, “will they get for Schmeling to make it worth while pay- ing the German such a sum?” A logical question, but the promoters must have something up their sleeve or they would not be blowing off in that manner, If the auditorium needed publicity it would be a different mat- ter, but Atlantic City is too close to big cities like New York and Philadel- phia to worry much about publicity. There is only one heavyweight loose who can pack the fans in paying num- bers to justify Schmeling’s huge guar- antee, and that heavyweight is none other than our old friend Jack Demp- sey. Bill Duffy has had some dealings with Dempsey and represented the Manassa Mauler in the Jack Sharkey and Gene Tunney fights. Is it possible that Bill has a working agreement with Jack? Stranger things than that have hlpge;;ed in the fight racket. Rememl! Dempsey picked Paulino to win over Schmeling, This gives rise to the thought that Jack does not think very much of the German and would consider a match for his German double.

Kid Woods, Indianapolis, Starting Blocks May Be O. K., But Not for Meets of A. A. U. BY ALAN GOULD, Associsded Press Sports Editor. T. LOUIS, Mo., November 19.— George Simpson, the slim little speed king of Ohio State, started something when he leaped off the Nicholson starting blocks at Chi- cago one afternoon last June and dashed down_the straightaway for 100 yards in 9%; seconds, thereby establishing himself as the “fastest human.” The chief result of Simpson’s record feat has been to split the best minds of the Amateur Athletic Union and turn the annual convention here inlo a debating society, concentrating upon the pros and cons of the starting blocks. ‘The argument has been settled by the A. A. Us indorsement of the foo> blocks “in principle,” while barring their use at any A. A. U. meet until such time as they receive the qualified sanction of the International Amateur Athletic Federation. As a matter of fact, it took a coali- tion of delegates, led by Middle Western outpointed Willie Cecil, Louisville (8). WAVERLY TEAM ASKS CHANCE FOR REVENG Waverly A.

Sunday the Waverlys will meet Vir- ginia A. C. at Alexandria, and in preparation will drill _tonight and Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock at Seventh and O streets. Seat Pleasant Firemen will practice tonight at 7:30 o'clock in preparation for their battle Sunday with the Apache A. C, eleven. The game will be played at Seat Pleasant at 3 o'clock. National Press Building Cardinals, with a strengthened squad, are priming for their engagement Sunday with the Centennial A. C. eleven, and will drill tonight at 7:30 o'clock on the Foxall Field. A game with Potomac A. C., a 115- pound class eleven, booked for Sunday, has been canceled. Arlington Preps and Del Ray grid teams will face Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock on the Arlington, Va., Field, in a game billed for the 135-pound class of Arlington County. Preps will drill tonight and Friday night at 8 o'clock on the Arlington School Field. Trojans, who downed the Trinities, 13 to 0, for their sixth win in as many starts, are listing contests in the 115-pound class through Bill Poynton at Lincoln 4. R. Keller starred for the Trojans, scoring all their points. Palace Boys' Club, claimants of the District 100-pound class title, want grid games before their annual clash with the Mercury boys' eleven.

The “pro- block” forces came here fully equipped to force the issue. They had the in- ventors of two devices, John Nicholson of Notre Dame and George Bresnahan of Iowa State. They produced the re- cults of an exhaustive questionnaire, showing 175 out of 180 track coaches and officials on record in favor of the use of the blocks. Question Blocks' Help. The debate revolves principally around the question of what, if any, advantage the blocks give the sprinter in recording faster time than formerly was possible with the use of the old- fashioned holes dug in the cinders. The records committe?, in accepling Simpson's mark for listing in a special category “with blocks,” virtually ruled that the mechanical device was of assistance. As chairman of the record committee, Lawson Robertson, Pennsylvania and Olympic head coach and himself an authority on sprinting, declared the blocks were “a distinct advantage,” but added this advantage might not show on the watch. In his opinion, the blocks enable the sprinter to get away with a longer stride. Advocates of the blocks, on the other they are merely a| hand, contend designed w0 practical improvement, standardize starting, speed up meets and do away with the track hazards due to digging holes. The question- naire showed 115 out of 180 experts holding the blocks to be no advantage in making faster time. Gustavus T. Kirby of New York, veteran adviser of the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A, 1n leading the “anti-block” element of the convention, asserted the devices “create false conditions.” He emphasized that there is yet no tunl!ormlty of . construction and that hand as well as foot blocks enter into 'the situation. Hand blocks have been developed by “Dink” Templeton, Stan- ford track coach, but not so far used as widely as the foot blocks. Tolan May Get Mark. While ,all the oratory was going on | 'it was expected that Eddie Tolan, Mich- | igan Negro sprinter and national cham- Ipion, may beat George Simpson to the \distinction of being the first sprinter Trojans downed Aces in & grid game, 2 to 12, C. eleven o'clock at; rations C. A meeting of the Janney A. will be held tonight at 7:30 4430 Grant road to make pr for Sdiaday’s game with the Pt to officially wipe the long-standing world record of 9 3-5 seconds from the international books. Tolan was beaten by Simpson in the latter’s famous “nine-two,” but the Negro, | decided the title was not at stake. without | now removed its ban on tenth-second watches, it may be adopted as the new standard, pending what is to be done about the blocks. If it takes as long to settle the issue of blocks as it did the tenth-second watch timing, Simpson will be an old man before he gets anything but three cheers for his great performance. The A. A. U. expected to wind up its convention today by re-electing Avery Brundage of Chicago as president and settling the 1930 championship awards. These involved at least two disputes, one between Boston and New York for the national marathon championship and the other between Boston and St. Louis for the national boxing tourna- ment, FISTIC CHAMPIONS OF CANADA NAMED By the Assoclated Press. QUEBEC, November 19.—The Cana- dian Boxing Federation has named the official holders of all the Dominion’s fighting crowns as follows: Heavyweight, Larry Gains, Toronto: light heavyweight, Charley Belanger, Winnipeg: middleweight, vacant: light- weight, Al Foreman, Montreal; wel- terweight, Jackle Phillips; feather- weight, Leo Kid Roy, Montreal: ban- tamweight, Joe Villenueve, Quebec; fiyweight, Prency Belanger, Toronto. ‘There was some discussion in con- vention over the award of the ban- tamweight crown to Villeneuve, Mon- | treal delegates asserting that Bobby Leitham of that city had defeated the champion at the title weight. He was not awarded the title because offi- c’als of the Quebec commission had The federation decided that Leitham should be given a chance to chal- lenge Villeneuve for the title and that the chlmrion would be obliged to méet him within six months after the chal- | lenge was issued. The federation voted to instruct in- coming officers to take up with the Na- tional Boxing Association of the United States the question of broadening the national association and making it an international one with the right to exer- cise control both in the United States and Canada. STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE HE major features of a one-shot hole—particularly a hole under 170 yards in length—is the trap- ping and difficulty around the putting green. For many years the fourth hole at the Chevy Chase Club has been one of the easiest one- shot holes about Washington, even though last year a new tee was built 20 yards back of the old tee, which in- creased the length of the hole from a simple mashie shot to a No. 4 iron or more. The green at the fourth was the largest n_on the course of the Chevy Club. It measured several score square yards larger than the third or the ninth, which are large greens. The only difficulty there was anywhere near the green, provided the ball was struck hard enough to go over a ditch in front of the putting surface, were shallow traps at the right, out of which a shot might be played with a putter, and widely spaced trees at the left, from which there was no difficulty in lay- ing the ball close enough for a putt. That has all been changed now. From a_ very which could hardly be tee, the fourth hole has become a dif- ficult affair, with a very much ab- breviated putting surface, flanked on the left by an enormous trap, on the back by a deep grassy swale and on the right by a brace of deeper traps than those which formerly caught a ball off the line at the right. The ditch in front of the green still remains, so the green today is literally an island affair, and a much smaller surface than it has been for . mhmge in the fourth green is all part of the course improvement pro- gram instituted a few months ago by Chairman Stead of the club golf grounds committee and ably put through under the direction of Green- keeper Watson. The first work of this nature came when the twelfth green was rebuilt and retrapped. And now the fourth, which was one of the weak holes of the course, has become one of the best. In place of a gentle bank sloping back to far-away trees, the back of the green at the fourth.now goes over into a deep swale to catch shots too strong to stay on the green. And a hooked shot or a ball off line at the left will find decp and large trap. A short SCHWARTZ TAKES BOUT.

Out at Columbia yesterday four local professionals engaged in a rip- snorting, knockdown, drag-out _golf match, which was packed as full of thrills’ as any we ever have seen. It finally_ended on the nineteenth hole when Mel Shorey knocked in a 6-foot Yulh for a birdie 3 to break the dead- ock which existed at the end of the eighteenth. In the e were Arthur B. Thorn of the Woodmont Country Club (formerly Town and Country) and Mel Shorey of East Potomac Park paired inst Al Treder of the Manor Club and A. L. Houghton of the Harper Country Club. And what a scoring pace. quartet of professionals set #s they blazed a trail of birdies over the first nine at Columbia! Here is the way their best ball ran on the first nine holes: Par 44435443435 Best ball..4 3325342430 Houghton knocked in a birdie on the second, Thorn ran in a 35-footer on the third for a birdie, and Shorey came back with a birdie at the fourth. Then Thorn holed one for another birdie on the sixth- and Houghton knocked in a 30-footer for a birdie 2 on the eighth. ‘The upshot of the game was that the foursome ended all square on the eighteenth and they had to play an extra hole to decide the victory. Shorey ended the combat when he lald a mashie shot six feet from the hole at the nineteenth and canned the putt for a winning 3. Thorn had the best individual score of the foursome with a 71 for the eighteen holes. Houghton was only a shot away, at 72, while Shorey was 74, and Treder, whose put- ter was behaving badly, was 78. In Thorn's round were two missed putts of less than five feet.

LONDON, November 19.—Willilam L. (Young) Stribling's first English ring appearance has ended in defeat. The Macon, Ga., heavyweight lost on & foul to Primo Carnera, huge Venetian car- penter, in the fourth round of their 15- round encounter at Royal Albert Hall last night. Eight thousand fans, in- cluding the Prince of Wales, packed the famous hall and were rewarded with some spectacular milling. Stribling amazed the crowd with his skillful work in the first two_ rounds when he evaded all of the giant Italian’s wild swings and gave Carnera a bad beating about the body. In the third round Stribling cracked the Itallan on the jaw and Carnera went down for a count of six. Carnera got up in a wild fury and floored Strib- ling for a count of nine. The American was dazed but gamely got up and suc- ceeded in holding his rival at bay for the rest of the round. Early in the fourth round Stribling landed a right and left to Carnera's body. The referee ruled the blows were foul and Stribling was disqualified. Carnera, weighing 283, had an ad- vantage of 95 pounds, and towered 8 inches above his American rival. HINE SOCCERISTS AHEAD.

PURDUE ACCOUNTED POWERFUL AS ANY BY ROBERT ZUPPKE, Foot Ball Coach, University of Tilinots. Purdue, which won the Big Ten championship in defeating Iowa, proved by that victory that it is as good as any team in the countxy. No competition Saturday, in and out, is as tough as that in the Big Ten. Our teams destroy each other and it takes an unusually hardy one to emerge unscathed. Purdue's victory was largely due to two outstanding backs, Harmeson and ‘Welch, stalwart personalities and ex- act ball handlers. They have size, weight and experience. The teams made an equal amount of ground, and it was Harmeson's pass- ing nm& which turned the scales. It was ersen’s misfortune that Jowa has no accurate passer. Few 8] itors realize the difference in the ilities of passers. The marn who can time his toss, throw a ball that can be easily handled and put it in the right spot is rare. +Jimmy Phelan, coaching Purdue to its first Big Ten championship, has handled his material adeptly. No one will begrudge Purdue its triumph, and Tllinois on the crown to a fine team, well coached. Notre Dame deserved to win from Southern California and I congratulate Rockne and his crew for upholding Middle Western foot ball . The lm'i.h:bly Irish and the Trojans are as good as the best Big Ten but, in my oilnlon, they are no better.
