EW YORK, December 28 —Max Schmeling plans two defenses | of his heavyweight champion- | ship next year, the first, defi- nitely, ugainst Mickey Walker in Miami, in February; the second, tentatively, against either Jack Dempsey or Jack Sharkey, in June or September. And the promoter in each case will be Madi- son Square Garden. Articles for the Miami match with Walker will be signed either tomorrow | or Wednesday, says Joe Jacobs, man- ager of Schmeling. They will call for & 15-round bout the last week in Febru- ary. The exact date will be fixed later Arrangements for the second match necessarily will have to await the out- come of the battle of Miami. Jacobs and the Garden, however, plan to open negotiations with Dempsey around May 1, proposing & match in June. If Dempsey asks for a little more time in which to get into condition, the match will be held over until September.

STAR TOURNAMIENT NOW ON FINAL LAP Blick’s Dubs at Arcadia and]\ Rendezvous Handicap Stakes | Also on Program Tonight. | BY FRANCIS E. STAN. ORE than 250 bowlers, headed by two famous stars of days gone by, Harry Krauss and Harry Halley, will open the second and final week of competition in The Star's annual singles tournament at the Lucky Strike tonight. A tough task looms before each in- dividual, For men, the score of 646, rolled by Paul Harrison on the opening night, will be the mark to shoot a Girls will have 335, Maygaret Brunelle's | total, to beat. | Despite the absence of ranking star | bowlers in both classes, the field tonight | is capable of producing new leaders. Many pinmen and pinwomen in that | class sometimes called “average” are included among the 250, and it is this class that twice in previous Star tour- | neys has produced surprise winners, 'WO other bowling attractions, at the Arcadia and Rendezvous, also are listed tonight. Farther up Four- teenth street from the Lucky Strike John 8. Blick will begin his annual Dub | Sweepstakes for bowlers with averages | under 100. Tonight three games will | be rolled. The event will continue to- morrow at the Columbia and wind up Wednesday at Convention Hall. A bit farther up Fourteenth street from the Arcadia Tad Howard will in- augurate the first annual Rendezvous Handicap Sweepstakes, This event is divided into two sections, A and B. Sec- tion A, including bowlers with averages over 106, will roll tonight. The maxi- mum handicap will be 25 sticks. Five games will comprise each section, the second of B to be held Wednesday. It will resemble a family reunion in the 6:30 squad tonight in The Star tourney. Among the 80-odd bowlers to Toll will be the seven Donaldson broth- ers, all of the Odd Fellows League. In fact, a large percentage of the bowlers | in that squad shoot in the Odd Fellows League. At 8:15 o'clock both girls and men will roll. The women's contingent is | headed by a delegation from Mount | Rainier. The men's squad at 8:15 o'clock | has been drafted mainly from the Recreation League and alleys. Joe Toomey, who many contend has the fastest ball on the alleys, will whale that “fireball” at 10 o'clock. Many & pinboy breathes a sigh of relief when | Joe is finished bowling. | Harry Krauss and “Pop” Halley, who were teammates back in the days when most of the present-day stars were run- ning around in rompers, will be interest- ing figures tonight. Although neither rolls regularly now, don't be surprised if | they step out and hang up a real score. The night promises to be a busy one for the Tournament Committee. Not only will it have to be on the job keep- ing track of the seven Donaldsons’ | scores, but will have, among others, the four Crawleys of Mount Rainier to worry about. Bronson Quaites, who advocated be- | fore the tournament the same number® of games for women as for men, will be |a threat to become one of the prize winners tonight. Bronson has done | | well in the Washington Women's League. | HAT singles match Wednesday be- | tween Astor Clarke and either | Jack White or Nick Tronsky of | |the Connecticut Blue Ribbons likely | | will steal the show when the Ribbons and_the National Pale Drys clash in | singles, doubles and the team match.

Pointers in Golf BY SOL METZGER. Roger Wethered, the great Brit- ish amateur, stresses the need of cupping the left wrist when ad- dressing the ball. In other words, when he took the club in his left hand in the proper manner his left wrist automatically cupped at the point shown in the sketch. But don't keep it cupped during your backswing. You can avold doing so by pushing the club back correctly—that is, with a straight left and a wrist that does not bend. The result is a correct cocking of the wrists at the top. There is no cup of the left wrist at this point. The line of the hand and left arm is practically straight. The bend of the wrists is backward toward the direction line, as I have sketched Mac Smith's swing at this point. A cupped wrist here causes too much tension and prevents speeding up the arm swing, which automati- cally drives the ball for great dis- tances. Have you used up two or three strokes gemng out of a sand trap? Sol Metzger's leaflet, “The Explosion Shot,” will aid you in cutting down your score. Write for it in care of this paper and inclose a stamped, addressed envelope. (Copyright, 1931.)
