SPORTS. Golf “Expense Money” Policy Pleases THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1930, Colleges Get Help in Night Foot Ball SPORTS EVIL HELD CRUSHED B RULE State Bodies Support New U. S. G. A. Code—Strength in Walker Cup Team. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. UPPORT of the attitude of | the authorities of the United | States Golf Association in the matter oi! p:}ylnga x:;(_ nse money to migrating - ae“r golf teams as manifested at the annual meeting of the na- tional organization was practi- cally Nation-wide, and as a conse- quence the general feeling among golfers is that the troublesome issue has been settled for a long to come. maeeneral reaction throughout the country cannot but be favor- able if only because expense| money has blighted almost every amateur sport—and still is a menace in not a few. Golf now occupies a healthful and whole-| some role, with its foot crushingly implanted upon the neck of this evil. tional organizations throughout Ih?gounlry were found to have rallied | enthusiastically to the rule ‘which con~ fines the payment of expense money to college teams, the public links tourney and the Walker cup combination. Even Pennsylvania, which had stood with Massachusetts in the Lesley Cup expense issue, fell into line and Massachusetts herself, instead of supporting her con- tention that expense money be pM'd in interstate tourneys, sought to have all expense payment eliminated save to collegians. Team “Truly National.” | There was, too, a very pleasing | national complexion to the list of mem- bers of the Walker Cup team which will invade England next May as chosen by the championship committee of the national association. Bobby Jones, the captain, as everyone knows, hails from Atlanta. Harrison R. Johnston lives in St. Paul, George von Elm in Detroit, Francis Ouimet in Boston, Dr. O. F. ‘Willing in Portland, Ore.; George Voigt in New York, Jess Sweetser in New York and Donald Moe in Poftland, Ore. While the alternates, Roland Mac- Kenzle and Maurice McCarthy, jr., have such honor as comes from their selec- tion, they will not make the trip, unless some player who has been chosen finds he cannot go abroad with the team. That is not likely. While Volgt and Moe have mnever faced the fire of Walker Cup play. all the other members of the team will go into the fray properly seasoned, every one having had experience of at least two of these great international matches. Of the veterans, all but Dr. Willing were on teams of very recent years, the experience of the Portland dentist dat- ing back to the years 1923 and 1924. Outfit Has Strength. There is no question as to the great strength of the outt which has been chosen. It may prove to be the strong- est al tion of American amateurs that Walker cup play has ever caused to be assembled. But, as Bobby Jones, the captain, put it, “we need to be strong.” | There seems to have been little ques- tion as to the selection of Jones as captain of the team, although some | thought that Harrison Johnston, by vir- tue of his poscession of the national amateur title, might be chosen. But the Minnesotan made it clear that he fa- vored Bobby to the extent where he would decline to be considered for the [ post.

AL RELEASES BABE AFTER LINKS LOSS Ruth Gets Cramps and He% and Former Governor Take | ® 8-and-7 Beating. By the Associated Press. ORAL GABLES, Fla, January 18.—Beaten in his first Flor- ida match becauss the home- run diet of Babe Ruth betray- ed the Bambino, former Gov. Alfred E. Smith broke up the links team of Smith and Ruth today and set out alone in quest of golfing honors. A challenge to former Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio was promptly answered and the two, each of whom has been the Democratic party's standard bearer in a presidential campaign, arranged an | 18-hole battle. Soda water has always occupied an important place on the Babe's base ball menu, but when the Bambino took to the fairways yesterday he forgot the usual complement of frankfurters. The cooling beverage, imbibed by itself an attack of cramps. | The result was a licking for Babe the umpire. The count was 8 and 7. Off to a snappy start, thanks to a couple of long drives and a 20-foot putt by the former governor, which netted a par 4, the pair made good progress until the turn was reached. At the turn cool drinks were waiting, | but no frankfurters. From then on Al and Babe hit the toboggan. Babe called time out once, but he was determined to finish and in the| end boasted a medal score of 95. The | former governor, who had started so| well, became affected by his partner’s | collapse and wound up with a card of | | be merely Art Shires, base ball plB_vELI‘ | tional pastime has said nothing relative | send for Arthur to wish him a “happy his teacher. | Britich Scrapper Impressive | SHIRES CAN'T WIN BOUT WITH LANDIS Judge Is Likely to Give A‘rti Lusty Bawling Out in Conference Today. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, January 18. — The much-publicized Charles Arthur Shires today is scheduled fora pair of battles in which his opponents will be neither round-heeled nor inexperienced. When the White Sox first baseman looks across the tables into the steady gray eyes of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of base ball, and talks to Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago club, he no longer will be the great Shires cf the prize ring. He will answering for his actions of the Win- ter. While the commissioner of the na- to the conference, it is cert2in he did not New Year”! It Is far more probable that Landis will interrogate Shires on the squalls and ssuabbles he has had as a prizefighter and give him a good verbal hiding, should he find nothing serious against the player's record in the | ring. Art Can’t Win. Charles Arthur can get nothing better than a draw with Landis, and when | he faces Comiskey he is sure to lose the | decision. The White Sox owner, his health and interest in the game rejuve- nated, is thoroughly disgusted with Shires’ behavior. Comiskey always has been a stickler for players’ behavior, in public and pri- vate, and always has punished rowdy- ism severely. The publicity given Shires’ brawls with Lena Blackburn last Sum- mer and his prizefight episodes have aroused the anger of the Old Roman. | If Shires expects to play with Chi- cago he must approach Comiskey in a | spirit of humility and be willing to ac- knowledge his errors and promise to | follow the narrow path. The player has been quoted as saying he would expect $25,000 from the Sox for his services in 1930. If he has any such idea he had better remain away from Comiskey. Viewed as Ball Player. Comiskey regards Shires as anything but a drawing card. Rather, he thinks th: Texan has injured base ball with his attempts to become a prizefighter. He will offer Shires a contract calling for a salary he believes commensurate with his ability, and if Shires does not want to accept it that will be Shires’ usiness. Comiskey has a fair first baseman in “Bud” Clancy and is will- ing to go along without Shires rather than have him around at anything but the terms and conditions offered by the Spx management. The chances are Shires will promise to be good, sign a contract and obey BERG EARNS RIGHT 10 ASK TITLE BOUT in Handing Canzoneri Good Lacing.

LIKSWEN CATHER FOR RIGHEST OPEN Agua Caliente’s $25,000 Event Starts Monday—La Jolla Offers $1,000 Tidbit. | BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. AN DIEGO, Calif, January 18.— Those who roam the Nation's golf links seeking glory and gold gathered here today in anticipa- tion " of the world's richest golfing money event, the Agua Caliente $25,000 open, which opens Monday across the Mexican border in Lower California. ‘The four-day 72-hole medal touml-‘ ment, with its picked field of nearly a hundred of fairways fame, holds as its first-place stake $10,000 of Mexican gold at United States values. The greatest share of this array of links stylists are encamped on this side of the international line, anxiously waiting the opportunity to chase the elusive par over the new and untried Agua Caliente course. Today most of them will appear in an 18-hole $1,000 event at the picturesque little town of La Jolla, near here. ‘The one-day tourney should serve as a tidbit for those whose eyes are set on the glittering prizes of the coming | classic. This will be the inaugural of the Agua Caliente tournament. Shute Has Tough Rivals. At the head of this chosen field of professionals and amateurs stands Den- ny Shute, a new member of the crown wearers by virtue of his victory in the recent Los Angeles $10,000 open. Shute, in seeking new fields to con- | quer, is faced with the sternest oppo- sition, for trudging at his heels come Horton Smith, Joplin, Mo., profession- al, who is the Nation's leading gleaner of money championships. ‘Then there is Leo Diegel, home pro- fessional, at Agua Callente and king of the professionals. Only slightly less important are Gene Sarazen, fresh from his Miami, Fla., victory; Bobby Cruick- shank, “wee Scot” from New York who tied with the Missouri Smith for sec- ond in the Los Angeles cpen; the Espi- nosa brothers, Abe and Al, who hail from Chicago; MacDonald Smith, Long Island; the Detroit delegation, com- posed of Al Watrous, Walter Hagen and George von Elm, one of the Na- tion's leading amateurs; not to mention Johnny Golden, Joe Kirkwood, the Dutra brothers, Olin and Mortie; John- ny Farrell and a large delegation of others.

The shot that turned the play-off of the last United States open to a Jones flood tide was Bobby's chip dead to the pin for a birdie 4 on the long fifth hole. Up to that time it had been all Espinosa. A great stroke saver and a mighty handy shot, this chip from a trap to the green. It's the most difficult of all to master, too. But it's a shot that yields to practice. Fortunately you can practice it_in any home during the Winter.

( : the second set of the Howard Campbell sweepstakes sched- uled at 7:30 o'clock. Leading the fleld of 57 is Irvin Billheimer, with a score of 653, rolled a week ago at the Coli- seum. Six pins behind him is Dutch New- man, and in third place are Oscar Hiser and Leo Rinalai, 23 pins short of the leader. Paul Harrison is fifth with 620. These are the only rivals within immediate striking distance of Billheimer, although 11 had scores of better than 600 in the opening skirmish. The defending champion, Bradley Mandley, is in the running with 609, and because of his consistency is one of the most feared contenders. It would be nothing more than expected if Mandley came through with another 600 set tonight, but it would be sur- prising if some of the others flashed again. Newman got a distinct break in the draw at the Coliseum. He drew the ai- leys on which he rolls constantly.

The regular line-up of King Pin girls, consisting of Pauline Ford, Mabel Wil- liams, Millicent Russell, Edith Brown | and Lucille Preble, who walked off with the national title at Richmond last Spring, is likely to find tough sledding in the Monumental City, as Manager | Friedberg has named on his Recreation Center team the greatest feminine pin- maulers Baltimore boasts. His quint will be picked from Mabel Shaw, Dorothy Hisley, Margaret Holli- day, Mattie Russell, Lottie Janowitz and Geneva Pries. They are the city cham- pions of Baltimore, turning in a 1,578- set, total to capture first plece in the Women's Duckpin Association tourng- ment last Spring. Priedberg also ad- vises that Misses Holliday and Shaw are the city doubles champions, and that Miss Holliday also holds the singles and all-events titles for women in Baltimore. ‘The names of every one of these is found among the national record mak- ers for the last two seasons. Jack Talbert and Sam Benson out- scored George Isemann and Al Fisher in a special doubles match at the Georgetown Recreation, 1,173 to 1,127. Talbert shot 590 and Benson, 583, and Isemann had 586 and Fisher, 541. In singles, Pisher rolled 353, Benson, 350; Isemann, 333 and Talbert, 308. The Washington Southpaws dropped a match to the Baltimore Southpaws at the Baltimore Recreation, 2,754 to 2,696, Bannon topping the winners with 589, and Aiken leading the Washingto- | nians with the same count. It was the first intercity Southpaw team match ever held in Baltimore. There will be a return engagement, at Tad Howard's Rendezvous. In a match at Fredericksburg, the home-town All-Star team defeated the Skinker Motor Co., of this city, 1,677 to 1,578 in three games. L OMSKI-BRADDOCK FIGHT NICKS JACK | on Bouts in Chicago Since October. By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, January 18.—Promoter Jack Dempsey and Leo Lom-| ski, Aberdeen, Wash. light- heavyweight, today were almost convinced that the boxing game is something to stay out of. The former world heavyweight cham- plon's sorrow was caused by the fact that only 5432 spectators, who paid $15,939, went to the Chicago Coliseum to see Lomski and James J. Braddock, the Jersey City puncher, fight. Lomski will never believe he did not get better than a draw with Braddock, and, from their actions when the stand- off decision was announced, most of the witnesses agree with the Westerner. Although knocked down twice by Braddock’s right-hand jolts, Lomski, in the opinion of ringside experts, took 7 of the 10 rounds and deserved the de- cision. The referce and judges pro- duced all the variety of opinion pos- | it a draw, one judge voting for Lom- ski and the other casting his ballot for ITIN WIS WAY = SOME. SAND 16 TAKEN | THERE. ARE.

Maraque'te Ghristopher Salvador De Soto Pinta The leading Balboas won the usual two out of three, but only after taking the roll-off of a tie with Nina. In the meantime Trinidad, which has won 11 of the last 12 games, took Santa Maria into camp for the whole works, to go into a won-and-lost tie with Balboa. Trimdad turned in a 1,605 set, while Santa Maria chose this unfortunate spot to roll 1,499, its only set below 1,500. However, the big jolt was supplied by Marquette, whose latent possibilities were uncorked in a new season's mark, a 1,657 set. in which a 583 game was the principal component, and which sent the speedy Genoas down for the full | & count.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. S a sequel to the announce- ment that two college foot ball elevens are to play a night game under cover at Atlantic City next Fall, it may be said that conferences are being held in the West which are likely to result in more than one major university eleven playing one or more early season games under the stars. Why? The reason is solely financial, Facts and figures about the success of night foot ball are as incontrovertible as compelling. Consider these: Many Good Reasons. 1—Drake played her first game last season against Simpson, a night game, In their afternoon game in 1927 only 2,800 saw it. The nocturnal affair drew 8200, outdrawing the Nebraska-Iowa State game at Ames, 35 miles away, that afternoon by 2.500. 2—In the Drake-Grinnell night gama the largest crowd in the 32 years the t¥o teams have been playing attended— 3—Marquette of Milwaukee, with ona less game than usual on her home schedule, drew, thanks to night foot ball, 15,000 more spsctators than in any previous season. 4—Syracuse in her annual game with Hobart, which usually attracted about 4.000 spectators, played to 22,000 at night last Fall. 5—The Creighton-St. Mary's (Kan- sas) game has usually drawn about ,000. It drew 9,000 last October in Omaha at night. Helped in St. Louis. 6—Washingion University met Drake in the first night game ever played in St. Louls and drew 16,000, more than three times the number of spectators thtflrz ever saw a Drake-Washington setto. 7—The Haskell Indians usually have drawn 6,000 spectators when playing Creighton at Omaha by daylight. In 1929 the largest crowd that ever patron- ized a Creighton game in the Jesuits’ home town saw them play the Red- L 4 | skins—16,000. 8—Colleges that had been struggling along trying to support athletic sys- tems out of foot ball receipts are now well out of the red for the first time in their history. 9—Thousands of workers who are busy on Saturday afternoons have an opportunity to see and enjoy night foot ball, and the extraordinary turnouts everywhere show that the great college game is developing a new following. Friday nights are picked for games be- thousands of men and women working in stores on Saturday nights. ‘While the writer feels that night foot ball violates many of the traditions of the game, the fact has to be recognized that next Fall not less than 300 schools | and colleges will be added to the list of those now playing the night game. and | this is likely to include important in- stitutions. Edward Lytton. the business manager of Drake University and father of night foot ball, says. that players like to play early season games at night because of the coolness. It is a fact, too, that fewer Drake varsity men have been injured at night than playing on sultry Saturdays. # WOMAN MADE OFFICIAL OF BIRMINGHAM CLUB BIRMINGHAM, Ala., January 18 (#).—OfMcials of the Birmingham Base Ball Association have announced the clection of Mrs. A. H. Woodward, widow of the former owner of the Barons, as vice president of the club. She is be- lieved to be the only woman official in the Southern Association. Mrs. Woodward said she would take an active part in business matters per- in two straight falls. taining to the Barons. In Tight B. Y. IFTH and First are running neck and neck for top honors in the with 29 wins and 10 reverses; Kendall, No. 1, is in third place and mg‘)]' one game behind the two leaders, while West Washington and Temple are tied for fourth position and only three games in the rear of the top two. E. Rice of Fifth and Harold Hodges of West Washington are monopolizing the individual records. The former is the individual average leader with 111-18 for 39 games, and his total of 101 spares is the greatest number re- corded. Hodges has high individual set, number of strikes, 18, and is second best in individual averages with 111-12 for 37 games. West Washington is holding the high team set record to date, having toppled 1724 pins to gain the tinction. Fifth's team game of 623 gives them the coveted team honors.
