BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. LTHOUGH adamant in his A decision never again to compete in a golf cham- plonship, Bob Jones will not confine his future play entirely to friendly rounds with the old gang | at East Lake. After his motion picture work is completed and he settles down to the business of law, Jones believes he can find time for a few exhibition matches. Bob has a plan whereby the golfing public that literally and figuratively followed at his heels through so many championships can again see the mirac- ulous shots that won him 13 national | titles in eight years. He believes that if there is any demand for his appear- | once on a golf course he can find an occasional day when the legal calendar will be light and he can oblige his admirers. ‘Would Heip Atlanta.

By the Assoctated Press. BALTIMORE, March 11.—With the opening of Maryland's Spring racing season scheduled for Marcch 31, there is great activity at the Pimlico and Bowie tracks. Already more than 600 racers have been quartered at these two tracks and are working out daily. Jimmy Ross, superintendent of the | Harve de Grace track, reports they will be ready to receive shipments of | I horses there March 15 and from that | date it is expected the Harford County | plant will be ready also. That there will be no dearth of thoroughbreds for the season is indi- cated by the great number of cpplica- tions for reservations the three major tracks have received. Richard Pending, track superinten- dent at Bowie, and John H. Ryan, track superintendent at Pimlico, report -that they would require again as many stalls as there are available to accom- modate all the horses that are llnedl to come here for the Spring season.

OULD you think, Mr. Golfer, that your mashie- niblick is worth $5,000 in hard American dollars? After you've blown a trap shot or missed a short pitch to the green the market quotation on your mashie-niblick probably would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 cents. But there is one man around Washington who values his mashie-niblick at $5,000, would not take a penny less and considers the club a give-away even at that price. The man is Freddie McLeod, Co- lumbia Country Club professional, and the club is a mongrel sort of affair, which many players would not even carry in their golf bags. To Freddie it is priceless, not be- cause of its looks, nor because it is gold plated, but because of its po- tential earning capacity. If the club were destroyed by fire or stolen, Mc- Leod says it could not be replaced, and o he has, for lack of some bet- ter intrin€z valuation, placed a value of $5,000 on th> club. As a matter of fact, it now is in- sured for that amount, but to make assurance doubly sure Freddie has had the blade copled and put on the end of a steel shaft. So that now if his pet club burns up, he will have a replaceable substitute, al- though it never will supplant the battle and bunker scarred veteran Old Battered Club. that Fred has lugged around for so many years. That little mashie-niblick, worn thin by years of play from bunkers and now seldom polished because it, might wear down too thin, is an affair that few golfers would even give a second look. It weights tween 13 and 14 ounces, which in itself is a bad recommendation, for to most people a mashie-niblick should be a heavy club designed to ng through sand by its welght. It ks mangy and hard-bitten cnd is dented along the bottom edge where Freddie has knocked his ball out of rocks. Watch him get behind a bunker shot some day when tic ball lies clean and he wants to lay that ball stone dead, and you will realize just why the club is priceless to him. Freddie is regarded by the profes- sionals as the finest bunker player in the world, and that club, to him, is as his instrument to a musician. He evolves tunes with that mangy ‘mashie-niblick of high endeavor and proven courage that no other club could produce. Freddie is playing these days with a set of steel-shafted iron clubs and playing them well. In tbat set is the copy of his famed old wooden- shafted mashie-niblick. He plays the steal-shafted club well, but his chief pet is the old one. When some im- portant competition comes along, Freddie may stay with the steel- shafted affairs and he may not. Our guess is that he will not, and the old mashie-niblick will come out of moth balls and again put forth its magic. ts be- YANK TENNIS TEAM FEARED BY BOROTRA Concedes French No Chance in International Match With Brugnon Out. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, March 11.—Jean Bo- rotra, famous French Davis Cup star, thinks well of France's chance of re- taining the international trophy for at least another year, but not so well of the chances of himself and his team- mates, Christian Boussus and Pierre Landry, in an indocr team match against American players next week.

THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RIC Retirement Age. HIS last decade will probably be known to sport history as “the retiroment " 1In this respect it has upset all past records. In golf the list includes Joyce Wethered | and Cecll Leitch, the two most famous woman golfers the game has known. Both retired at the height of their fame and form. It includes Bobby Jones, with the greatest competitive record of all time. In the ring is Gene Tunney, who re- tired with another easy million in stght and no dangerous opponent coming on. There is a chance that Johnny Doeg, the national tennis champion, may practically retire, at least as far as any Davis Cup maiches are concerned. Last Summer Mrs. Helen Wills Moody left her American coronet hanging on the wall without offering any defense of the gitle. Rene Lacoste has had to retire cn account of poor health. Jack Dempsey could have picked up at least 3&00 000 through one more appearance, also dpcld-d w leave the field of n:e -nd glory to others. Not Yet—Not Yet— TH! unanimous verdict, for all prac- tical purpcses, indicates that it will be & large mistake to make any | attempt now to save up Carnera and toss him in against the winner of the Schmeling-Stribling affair, as now ar- ranged. It will be a large mistake from the financial side, which is the largest of all mistakes in boxing. The spot left for Carnera is a Jack Sharkey match, for this would at least leave one sur- viver from the muddle who could be used. If Carnera can whip Sharkey in 15 rounds he is entitled to the chance in September. But if he can't whip Maloney in 20 rounds he will have to tmplrgva 109 per cent to whip Sharkey His value as red, Carnera can't punch. , and it a big card has disa) can't be brought back by slapping down fourth raters. He would still draw with Jack Sharkey, but unless some match of this type is made he is out at the end of the old read, on his way to pasture. The Top of Sport. HEN it comes to the top layer of Niehols' one of the great year, no matter what may happen fore 1932. It will stand heywnd that, | all ¢onditions considéred, even if this record is beaten. A New Entry. N tke search for some new heavy- we'ght entry to bring back a little | life to a fading or faded division, a | few promoters might turn their atten- tion to Charles Retzlaff of Duluth, In his last two starts Retalaff pounded Johnny Risko all over the Northern landscape and then stopped ‘Tom Heeney in seven rounds. This is something, anyway. More than most of the others have done in recent they can travel down the | once they are cn the skids. | short while ago Heeney was more than holding his own with the Sharkeys and Paulinos and such, and later was cut there fighting for the heavyweight championship. Now his chin is hang- ing in the open air, and unless he re- tires at an early date the back of his heels will be worn to the bene. Judging from the Winter and early Spring reports, the successor to Bobby Jones so far is composed of Dudley, Golden Von Elm, Abe Espinosa, Farrell Sarazen. It is what you might ull a composite suecessor, if you haj pen to be doing any at moment. (Coprrisht, 1031, by North American News- paper Am- nce.)
