BY SPARROW McGANN, EW YORK, January 16.— N Max Schmeling is in high favor with sports editors throughout the country, judging from the result of a poll conducted by a nationally known sports publication, with 100 lead- ing sports editors, boxing writers and sports authorities selecting 15 boxers in each of the 10 divisions and rating them according to merit. Prior to his fight with Young Strib- ling at Cleveland last July, Schmeling was rated fifth in a list of heavy- weights. His victory so revised esti- mates that Max in this year's poll has 71 firsts, 27 seconds and 2 thrids.

Clapp and Morven Thompson. then prominent members of the Golf and Grounds Committee, par has been equaled only once in competition and never has the mythically perfect figure been beaten by any of the amateur or professional stars who have competed in the many tourneys held at Chevy Chase since the course was rebuilt. Par has been whipped many times in friendly rounds, but only by those twin musketeers of the professional side of golf at Chevy Chase—Bob Barnett and Gene Larkin—and Charles M. Mackall, amateur. Course Much as in 1919, Chevy Chase is an old golf course as golf courses about Washington go. First built back in the last century, revamped many times, the layout today stands much as it did when Colt, MacKenzie & Alison turned it over to the club| Improvements | more than a decade ago. have been made from time to time in the bunkering, several ghanges have been made in tees, one Or two greens have been rebuilt, but the layout re- mains essentially the same as that course which was rebuilt little more | than 10 years back. The course as it stands today is far different from the layout over which William Howard Taft, our first golfing President, dignified the game by his espousal of it at Chevy Chase in the days when the club was a long drive behind a spanking team of blooded horses far out in the country. George J. Voigt, the public-links-bred Yuminary, who blasted his way through & score of tournaments to win the finest record ever set by a Capital golfer and £0 on to greater things in the national field, holds the official course record for the Chevy Chase layout—a score of 69 (exactly par), made in the qualification round of the 1927 invitation tourney for the Taft and Sherman Trophies. Lower scores have been made at Chevy Chase, but Voigt's record stands as the only par-equaling performance made on the layout in medal play com- petition. Voigt played the first nine in 35 strokes, just par; went one over at the eleventh hole, and picked up a birdie while playing the balance of the last nine in par to get home in 34 for his mark of 69. Baked Links Favor Barnett. ‘Two Summers back Gene Larkin, then Maryland State open champion, scored & 65 over the Chevy Chase layout, and then scored another 65, both within the space of a few days. Bob Barnett, senior pro at Chevy Chase, not to be outdone by his assistant, moved out in 1930 and shot himself a 64, which stands today record, a mark of 5 better than par, which probably never again will be done unless the courses get as fast as they were in that year.

Built primarily for the hockey, figure | skating and curling competition, the arcna is almost as large as Madison Square Garden.

The ice and snow of the mile and one-half bob-sled run down Mount Van Hoeven- berg has been rendered unfit for prac- tice. But those who know the north country weather man intimately say there is nothing to fear from him, that there will be cold and snow aplenty by the time the Olympic curtain rises.

EAGLE, VIC QUINTS - FAGE HARD GAMES [To Meet “Terrible Swedes” and Buckeye Malt Pros on Local Floors.

But two weeks later, seeming sud- denly aged, Loughran was floored four times by King Levinsky, the Chicago wildman, an soundly beaten by punches he would have laughed at in the past. And Hamas, raging {rom the opening gong, completed the downfall, | belting Tommy at will to floor him twice before the referee intervened. “I took the bout on short notice,” Tommy sald today, “the articles wer signed only last Saturday. I had only & couple of days of training. I'd like to fight Hamas again, I'm not through.” But is was Hamas today who had changed the fight aspect and offered promise of a unique career. The for- mer Penn State foot ball star is the first college graduate ever to reach the ring prominence that such a decisive victory over Loughran brings. A calm, quiet young man outside the ring, Hamas has all the physical req- uisites to carry him to the top of the heavyweight list. He is a terrific puncher with either hand, specializing on short left hooks to the head and body that have paved the way or brought about abruptly the 34 knock: outs he has scored in 27 professional victories. But he will not be rushed into matches where he is outclassed. Merely a Beginner. “That was & nice victory,” sald his manager, Charlie Harvey. “But there’s pers climb through the ropes to do battle, Both Weiner and Gallagher are strong boys, and Matchmaker Frankie Mann made the distance two rounds longer than the general run of bouts of windup caliber staged so far. | Billy Schwartz, who had the mis- fortune of having a blood vessel broken in his face against Bob Godwin re- cently, will try a comeback when he stacks up against Eric Lawson in the semi-windup, scheduled for eight rounds.

Jack Sharkey, the American cham- pion, did rather poorly considering the neat performance he turned in against Primo Carnera. Only 13 selectors con= sidered him good enough to lead the heavies, 56 named him as runner-up and 14 picked him no better than third. And lest the Bostonian gets an idea he is all the rage, it is just as well to record that 15 experts rated him in fourth place. Not so good for the man counted upon to bring the title back 1o this country. Sharkey's performance against Mickey Walker, in which he was held to a draw, removed some of the glamour from the Sharkey es- cutcheon. The surprisingly good showing made by Walker is deserving of comment, seeing that Mickey 1is considered Schmeling’s next opponent. Walker's name was not included in the helvz- weight list. At his hest around 188 pounds, it was thougat he should be listed among the light-heavyweights to make it easier for the selectors, But they had different opinions and 11 wrote his name in the heavyweight list for first place, with 17 seconds and 9 thirds. Only three others were considered good enough to lead the class. Young 8tribling, Ernie Schaat and Tommy Loughran received one vote apiece. ‘Walker a Stand-out. Walker was a stand-out in the light- heavyweight class. He grabbed off three-fourths of the first places and deposed Maxie Rosenbloom in the es- timation of the experts. Rosenbloom barely beat out George Manley of Den- ver, who, by the way, his two official decisions over the champion. The Rocky Mountain region and the Far West voted strongly for Mm:z!. Vince Dundee topped Dave Shade in the middleweight ranking. The' tw time conqueror of Len Harvey was fij ured better than the veteran by a small ma Harry Smith, officially recog- nized as the colored middleweight champion, managed to beat out n Jeby for third place. Lou Brouillard, considering the short time he ‘has been welterweight cham- plon and his professional experience, did well to garner 51 firsts. Billy Petrolle headed the junior wel- ter class. The Fargo Express is con- sidered a better fighter in this class than as a lightweight. To Tony Canzoneri, holder of the lightweight and junior welter titles, goes the distinction of polling the most firsts and the highest average of all class leaders. The barrel-chested Ital- lan was selected No. 1 by 91 experts for a grand average of .989. Foreman Well Liked. Al Foreman, British Empire cham- pion and holder of the Lord Lonsdale challenge belt as junior and lightweight champion of Canada, leads the junior lighties. Foreman was ranked third in the 135-pound class and topped Kid Chocolate by the slim margain of 16 points. Foreman's many challenges to Can- zoneri and Jackie Kid Berg, backed by a substantial offer, impressed the judges. This and the fact that Al has scored more than 75 knock-outs were considered more impressive than Choc- olate’s performance against Benny Bass.
