\ SPORTS:S - NEW YORK IS 0UT AS BATILE SCENE Ban on Max Leaves Sharkey “Leading Contender,” With I Nobody to Fight. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, January 7.— Chicago, it appears, owes the New York State Ath- letic Commission a rising vote of thanks. The commission, by stripping the heavyweight title from Max Schmeling, virtually has assured a title match be- tween Schmeling and W. L. (Young) Stribling in Chicago next June. Nor is that all the commission’s action accomplished. It left, or so it would | appear, Jack. Sharkey in the role of “outstanding contender” in New York ‘sougeg.h?uc with no one in sight for him Although other boxing centers, Detroit, Jersey City and Philadelphia, for in- stance, have plunged in with offers for the serlous consideration of Joe Jacobs, manager of Schmeling, it was under- stood that Chicago held the inside track fot the title bout and would get it. Nate Lewis, Chicago promoter, several days ago offered Schmeling $500,000 to meet Stribling with the title at stake, | and, at the moment at least, there seems no reason why the Teuton slugger should not accept. As for Stribling, he already has come to terms with Lewis. As the situation stood today, it would take & complete about-face on the part of the State Commission to save the bout for New York, and there appears no prospect of that, Remove Max's Crown. ‘The Boxing solons declared the haevyweight throne vacant when Ja- cobs, on Schmeling’s behalf, declined to sign’ immediately for a return bout with Sharkey. Jacobs offered to sign Schmeling to a contract calling upon him to meet the winner of a Sharkey- Stribling match or against Sharkey if st.txl-lbun( declined to meet the Boston sailor. The commission has insisted that Sharkey, having beaten Stribling once, should not be called upon to meet him again; yet, after declaring the title :mng the solons umx:’l:noed they wotuld ccept as champlon le winner of a match between B%hl MacKenzie Listed In Coast Tourney OS ANGELES, January 7 (#).— More than 300 golfers, less than one-third of whom will be for- tunate enough to earn the right to appear in Los Angeles’ $10,000 open tournament Friday, Saturday and Sunday, tee off today in qualifica- tion play over half a dozen courses. Forty others, low scorers in the 1930 Los Angeles open or the na- tional open, exempt from the 18-hole test, continued practice rounds over the Wilshire par-69 course. Among the outstanding players who must show their ability with a low score over scattered trial courses today are: Chicago pro; d Morrison, former Southern Califofnia pro champion; Ben Rich- ter, southpaw pro from St. Louis; Roland MacKenzie, one of the coun- try's leading amateurs, from Wash- ington, D. C., and Johnny Dawson, Chicago amateur. U. S. G. A. WILL KEEP EMPEROR ON BOARD Nothing in By-laws to Prevent Election of Professional to Executive Committee. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 7.—Bobby Jones' re-election as a member of the Executive Cmt‘m of the United States Golf tion apparently will be only a formality when the U. S. G. A. holds its annual meeting here Satur- day. Officers of the organization de- clared that his retirement from amateur golf and his motion picture and radio contracts had not made him ineligible for the committee post, nor had th aroused any unfavorable reaction with- in the organization. “If we desired or felt it was ad- visable,” said Herbert H. Ramsay, slat- ed to become president at the meeting, “we would elect a professional golfer to Executive Committee membership so long as he was enrolled in a member club. Nothing in our by-laws prevents it. So far as Mr. Jones is concerned he has been duly nominated to continue on the committee. and we expect his unanimous election. Ths committee feels that he should continue to serve the game of golf and is most desiyous of retaining his advice and counsel.” Jones will not be at the meeting.

POWERS. OS ANGELES, January 7Tt is hard to overlook the smooth, easy swing of Macdonald Smith when discussing the possible win- ner of the $10,000 Los Angeles Open Gelf Tournament that will start at the Wiltshire Country Club Friday. The oldest man in the brilliant field, bar Grandfather John Black, the tall, silent Scot may be the most difficult to beat. Smith, who has been beset with more tough luck than almost any other golfer, usually does well in the Los Angeles open. He was the winner in the 1928 and 1929 tournaments and might have made it three in a row only for the | heavy rains that made the 1930 tourna- ment more of a job for a sallor than a golfer. Fine Course for Smith. The Wiltshire course is one over ‘The Wiltshire course is one over which Smith usually will play his best. It is not at all fatiguing and for Smith is little more thag a drive and short iron. In winning the 1928 tourney there with a score of 284—even par—Smith used nothing heavier than a spoon from the tees, and his crackling irons were con- tinually biting the greens close to the pin. This year par has been cut to 69, and that will favor Smith. The new standard ball, that will be thoroughly tested by a fleld that in- cludes practically ail of the country’s star medalists with the exception of Bobby Jones, will not be any handicap to Smith. The course is too short to penalize the medium driver and in ad- dition Mac can y the in-between shots required by the larger and lighter ball as well as any man in the game. Not for nothing did he learn his golf on the slopes of old Carnoustie, where every lad is a golfer, and a good one. Waits for Tournaments. Smith has passed # all of the earlier tournaments of the Winter season to | concentrate his efforts on the Los An- geles and Agua Caliente opens. He has been practicing on various California | courses for several weeks and when he arrived at Wiltskire his shots were fly- ing straight and far. In the pools of the tournamer. Smith has been made a co-favorite v4th Walter Hagen, and a battle betwsen those two past masters of the game will be a sight Worth see- ing. With Johnny Farrell and Gene Sara- zen en route to Los Angeles, only a few of the top-ranking pros will be missing when the play starts. Lots of Birdies At Indoor Links HICAGO, January 7 (#).—Any duffer can get as many as 20 birdies at a certain indoor golf course in Chicago, provided he can catch them.

WON'T BOTHER MAX AND STRIBLING Can Fight in Any State Under Its Jurisdiction if Bout Is Held This Summer. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 7.—The National Boxing Association will not stand in the way of a heavywelght .hzmpionship fight between Max’ Schmeling and W. L. “Young” Stritling in Chicago or an; other State within its jurisdiction if held this Summer, President John V. Clin- nin intimated today. Although the N. B. A, parent body of professional boxing and wrestling in 34 States, is polling its members to de- cide if it should declare Schmeling’s title vacated, Gen. Clinnin said a period of grace undoubtedly would be granted. ‘Ten State commissions already have answered the Fcl]. eight of them voting to vacate the throne and the two others voting for 30 and 90 days’ grace. If the championship match is held at Soldier Pield, Chicago, it may be the first 15-round battle since boxing be- came Jegalized in the State. The Illinois State Athletic Commission, headed by Gen. Clinnin, today had a bill drafted for presentation to the State Legisla- ture designing to increase the limit on championship bouts from 10 to 15 rounds and was confident of its passage. CAMPUS AGAIN FOR PRO Bill Senn, Gridiron Flash, Returns for Degree at Knox. GALESBURG, IIl, January 7 (#)— Bill Senn, one of the immortals of Knox College foot ball and a star on the professional gridiron, is going back to_college. Senn, who quit in his senior year to play professional - foot ball, enrolled again at Knox yesterday to finish his final year's work and to receive his degree. One of Senn's greatest foot ball feats at Knéx came during the game with Coe College in 1924 when he intercepted a forward pass behind his own goal Llne and sprinted 104 yards to a touch- own. (Note—This story was written espe- cially for Associated Press by Maj. Gen. John V. Clinnin, president of the National Bozring Association.) BY MAJ. GEN. JOHN V. CLINNIN, President National Boxing Association. (HICAGO, January 6 (#)—The National Boxing Association proposes to strictly enforce the | six months' rule on all cham- | plons, which will have & salutary ef- fect on those who propose to work the vaudeville circuit or earn an honest liv- ing in the moving pictures. It is un- fair to the public to permit champions to live a life of ease in the champion- ship chair. At the present time the national as- sociation has a questionnaire ballot out to the membership on the question of vacating the heavyweight, junior wel- terweight, junior lightweight and fly- weight championships, and has request- ed the International Boxing Union to| concur in the vacating of these titles. | Returns from this questionnaire so far have indicated a majority of State com- missions favor withdrawal of recogni- tion of Max Schmeling as heavyweight g has ceased to be = sport, and is now classified with the circus and other like attractions. In some of the States the commissions have designated all wrestling contests as ex- hibition. This, no doubt, is the proper application to apply to wrestling as a sport, inasmuch as the outstanding con- testants, in the different classes, are more interested in barnstorming and ac- quiring the coin of the realm than to bother with real competition for the so- called honor of a championship, Wrestling Is Problem. It has been most difficult for the State commissions and the National Boxing Association to control this sport. In fact the National Boxing Association, at its recent convention at Omaha, re- fused to continue to assume control over professional wrestling and an aux- iliary organization was formed, known as the National Wrestling Association. ‘The outlook for 1981 is hazardous from the standpoint of the promoter, as busi- ness conditions, unemployment and hard times have continued to decrease the gate receipts at all theaters and other amusement centers. This reac- Sees the Big Jobs For Non-Golfers CHICAGO, January 7 (#)—Bad news for golfers. The period of the golfing business man is over and the new year will see the appearance of more modern executives who don’t go in for golf, Dr. Fred E. Clark, professor of economics at Northwestern Uni- versity, Evanston, told the United Purniture Industries holding their first annual rally. They played four games and each won two. So close were the contests that the girls scored a total of 68 points while the men tallied 70. Tonight's game, the rubber of the scries, will be a preliminary to the American League game between the Chicago Bruins and the Brooklyn Visi- tations. SIS oo ‘WILL ASSIST AT AUBURN.

Commission Adamant, It is apparent that there will be a heavywelght boxing championship con- test during the coming year. Schmel- ing, through his manager, has been Jockeying for position and the New York State Commission attempted but failed to force Sharkey into the contest. The National Boxing Association is deter- mined to make Max Schmeling live up to the rules of the National Boxing As- soclation or vacate his title. Should this association vacate the title, it, no doubt, will call upon the outstanding boxer in this class to compete with a suitable opponent for the champion- ship thus vacated. ‘Through a close co-operation between the National Boxing Association and its European affiliations, it would ap- pear that in the future the champlons will be more active in the defense of their titles and more ready to com- pete at weight. Failure to meet a suit- eble opponent at the prescribed weight should be the medium through which the champion will be deposed and his title vacated. . TQUIGLEY TO FIGHT REED.

The bowlers are requested to be on hand for this squad at 7:30. If there aré any vacant spots on the schedule they will be filled by who care to shoot. The final night rollers have a for- | midable target in Dutch Weidman's 645-set, shot two nights ago. There are half a dozen in the list capable of beat- ing it, but the odds will be heavily against them. Weidman’s was the only tournament, the second best being W. L. Martin's 615. Al PFischer, with 614; H. Bromley, 608, and Jack Talbert, 605, are the only contestants to beat 600. Martin, by the way, is more famous as a canoeist than a bowler.

F all the names pinned on & game of sport, duckpins ap- pears one of the most far- fetched. Then again, is it? Few bowlers know how the “duckpin” tag was plastered on the little pin game. It is more or less taken for granted. Uncle Wilbert Robinson, genial pilot of the Brooklyn Robins, is credited with having tagged the great indoor sport “duckpins.” ‘Tad Howard, Rendezvous chieftain, in a reminiscent mood, tells the how, when and why: “When I was just a kid wearing pantaloons, Wilbert Robinson and John McGraw were running & bowling alley in Baltimore. There was nothin’ but tenpins in those days. “Business in the alley was getting slack, and Robinson and McGraw, just like & lot of us, were doing a littie figuring. Thinking it would help build up business, the two partners hit on an laea to change the game a little. the corner and a few balls and sent ‘em to the woodtwmer with orders to cut 'em down. The balls in those days were wocden. “Robinson left on & hunting trip shortly after, and on returning thc first thing he saw when he got back to the alley was the shortened pins and the cut-down balls. Somebody picked up & ball and rolled it down the alley. The ball cut through the middle and took two pins out, one of 'em flying through the air. The pin boys ducked their heads and the pin crashed in a corner. “ ‘Doggone,’ Robinson excaimed, ‘they fly just like those ducks I was shoot- 1 ngleme the moniker.
