D—2 Near Riot Occurs at Amateur Boxing : Middle A KNIFE IS AMONG MSSLES HURLED Decision Resented as Yanks Score Over Italians by Five Bouts to Two. BY WILBUR WOOD. EW YORK, June 4.—The return amateur boxing matches between Italy and | the United States nearly ended in a riot last night at Madi—‘ son Square Garden, when the de- cisions of Jacob Stumpf and Wil- liam P. Kenney, chairman of the| National A. A. U. Boxing Commis-! sion, went against Edelweis Rod- riquez of Rimini, Italy, in the opening bout of the international | affair. | When the votes of the judges were rendered and the hand of Louis Salica, 112-pounder, was raised, the 8,500 fans Tose in a mass and voiced their pro- test with deafening boos. The anger of the crowd grew with the actions of the Itallan boxer and coach, Mario Cobianchi. Rodriquez, who returned to his cor- | ner with the air of confidence of one | with the feeling of having won, fell to the canvas as though shot and startad squirming like a chastised child. He | bit his gloves, cried, and_carried on | in a way unbecoming an athlete. Coach | Cobianchi refused to permit the next | boxer to enter the ring, and with a| wave of the hand informed everybody that it was all over and the remainder would not go on. Air Full of Missiles. All of this inflamed the crowd to such an extent that ringsiders were terror-stricken when missiles began to fly in_their direction. ‘The crowd,| which kept up its booing. took to hurl- | ing things such as cigar butts, peanuts, | candy and_ pennies—the articles pop- | ping like machine gun fire into the | Ting and environs. Suddenly a black knife, with two ex. | posed blades, bounced into the ring. | over the head of a reporter, and landed in the third row of the ringside. For- tunately the patrons were alert and no accident occurred. | It took almost 15 minutes before the | spectators regained their seats. The Tialians _were persuaded to continue When Vincenzo Dallorio entered the ring for his bout with Flavio Debonis, 118-pounder, of Boston, the booing still persisted. Close observers of boxing gave the bout to Rodriquez without a question of doubt. The Italian bantamweight won the first round banc iy, lost the second, but put on such a rousing finish in the third round there was | nothing else to do~but raise his hand. If there wes any possible doubt as to the winner it was absolutely erased in | that frame, Scen as Wrong Aga ‘The crowd then w:ndered what the judges would do in the bout botween Dallorto end De Bonis. If De Bonis Tightfully won would Dallorto get it, they asked themselves. De Bonis did win, the same boxing observers voted, but the hand of Dallorto was lifted high. De Bonis bowed like a gentle- man and took his defeat smiling while the fans cheered him tw the echo. It was a gracious move on his part. After that contest America won the next four and lost the heavyweight bout. When Prank Fullman defeated Aldo Longinotti the United States box- ers had five of seven victories tucked | under their belts. | The biggest upset of the night was Steve Salek’s victory cver Mario Bian chini of Rome, lightweight chamnion of Europe. Blanchini cufiered hi fourth defet in_ 118 sterts. In the last tournament Bianchini wen easily, but Salek was a different sort of a boxer Wednesday night. He fought hard all the way and had his cpponent in close most of the time, where he could do some damage. In the final frame Bianchini bled from a cut under the right eye and seemed all in.

Pointers on Golf BY SOL METZGER. It was a memorable day for Wal- ter Way when he discovered that good golf consisted in visualizing each shot from drive to putt in ad- vance of playing it. He had come to a firm conclusi-n that in_ pitch- ing to a green, for example, you must_keep looking at it while ad- dressing the ball until the entire vista to it, as well as the green it- self, was stemped upon the mind. After that picture wes clear in the mind you played the shot, much as you throw a base ball Whereupon Walter Way set about The mechanics of mastering golf. THE.

Long prac- tice caused the mechanical side to yield to him, and he tells me it is the only way to make your shots behave. But the main thing is the big idea of visualizing each vista and shot in advance so the mind will au- tomatically aid in controlling the swing. That, after all, is what makes the golfer.

JUNE 4, 1941 tlantic Golf Lures Star Field STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE j D.C.AND MARYLAND WELL REPRESENTED Princess Anne a Testing Course—Qualifying Round on Today. BY W. R. McCALLUM. RINCESS ANNE COUNTRY CLUB, Virginia Beach., Va., June 4.—With many of the strongest golfers from the National Capital in the list of en- trants, a star field of players from the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia started today in the quest for the Middle Atlantic golf championship, now held by the tow-headed Billy Howell of the Country Club or Virginia, at Rich- mond. Harry G. Pitt of the Manor Club, winner of the Middle Atlantic tourney in 1928 and winner during the last three weeks of two important invitation tour- naments near Washington and Balti- more, heaced the entry list from Wash- ington. Other players from the Capital in- cluded John C. Shorey of Bannockburn, runner-up to Pitt in 1928; W. Carlton Evans, Miller B. Stevinson, Albert R. MacKenzie and Gardiner P. Orme of Columbia; M. Parker Nolan of Congres- sional and Dr. L. 8. Otell of Indian Spring and Dr. James T. McClenahan and W. R. McCallum* of the Washing- ton Golf and Country Club. Baltimore has sent to Princess Anne a strong celegation, headed by Alex M. Knapp, who was runner-up to Howell last year at Richmond. Other Baiti- more’ golfers included the veteran B. Warren Corkran, who twice has won the title; Talbot T. Speer, H. A. ParT, 3d; Ernie Caldwell and William P. Hall. From Richmongd have come Billy Howell, the champion; Dave Ewell, Jack How- ard and several more strong golfers from the Virginia capital. The Tidewater section of Virginia, where the championship is being held this week for the first time in four vears, is represented by Chandler | Harper, the youthful Virginia State champion, who beat Howell for the | State_title last year: Pat Dillon, for- | mer state title holder; 8. Q. Collins, | champion of the Princess Anne .Club, | and a host of other strong golfers, who | play at clubs near Norfolk. The 18- | hole qualifying round was to end to- | day, to be followed by four match play | rounds tomorrow and Saturday, with Beach when that match was 2n 18-hole final carded for Saturday | afternoon. Howell obtained special permission fram Washington and Lee University to | leave school to defend his title and will be a strong contender to repeat in the championship. Wagshingtonians will remember his sturdy golf in the | Columbia tournament, which he won | last year. He will play again next | week ‘in the Columbia tourney. | The course of the Princess and only a brassie shot and a pitch | from the ocean, has been thoroughly | groomed for the occasion. A brisk wind which blew from the ocean today | threatened to send the scores well up, but it was expectéd a fard of 81 or better would make thé first flight. Should the wind spring up stronger the course will be a real test of high- | class golf, for the breeze sweeps through the colonnades of pines with great | force. Most of the Washington dele- gation arrived at the club this morning after a trip down the Potomac by boat. |, 'SOLVES GOLF PROBLEM.

L. Veerhoff, chairman: A Bolling Galt and Dolph R. Elmore, has arranged & tournament for every Saturday during the month, to end with a “no alibi” contest similar to a like event played | last year, when the committee was so liberal with its handicaps that no player could be other than satisfied. Saturday there will be a medal pl tournament on the odd-numbered holes, with the players being allowed one-half their regular club handicap. On the following Saturday the committee will stage & match play against par event, | with full handicap allowance. The | event scheduled for June 20 will be a two-man team tourney at medal play. Any two members may form a team and play together or not as they please. {From the total medal score of each team the aggregate handicap will be deducted. ‘The “no alibi” event is a novel fea- ture, the main idea being to avoid such | remarks as “If I hadn't had an 8 on the fifthteenth I might have broken 100.” To avoid these contingencies the committee generouslv allows each con- testant to replay four strokes during the round without penalty.
