The merits of the two punches will be put to test in the Madison Square Garden ring Friday night, when Billy Petrolle, the old reliable Fargo Express, hops over the ropes to do battle with Eddie Ran, fas coming Polish welterweight con- tender. With two such wallopers in there, that Garden shindig figures to be a great punching bee. Petrolle has mowed down some snappy right- hand punchers. But he is getting along in years. Each can hit hard enough, Petrolle with the left and Ran with the right, to flatten any one he hits solidly. Who is_going to put over the crusher Friday night? We'll just wait and see. ~ | chance of making TO DEFEAT WEINER Marty Will Have Ten-Pound Edge in Weight for Feature of Alexandria Card. ALEXANDRIA, Va, January 19— Herman Wetner, the southpaw slugger from Baltimore, will have an old score to e tonight when he steps into the with Marty Gallagher for the 10-round wind-up of the Day Nur- sery A. A's charity program at Portner's Arena, ‘The Monumental City gloveman was dropped for the count c¢n two occasions by Gallagher two years ego when Weiner began his professional career, but the left-hander since has developed a powerful hook that is expected to give the Washington boy plenty of trouble. Despite Weiner's brilliant work on vecent prcgrams, local followers are picking Gallagher to turn in his third win over the Maryland boy. Gallagher, they point out, will go into the ring weighing 207 pounds, a 10-pound ad- vantage over Weiner. “Baker Boy” Billy Schwartz, Alex- andria’s pride, will make his first ap- pearance in the ring in two months when he takes on Eric Lawson of Nor- folk, in the eight-round semi-final. Schwartz is in good shape and has put in a lot of work sparring with Gal- lagher. The six-round main preliminary will bring together two good scrappers in Young Fitpo, Navy lightweight cham- pion in 1928, and Patsy Lewis, hard- hitting Baltimore fighter. Lewis has been thrilling D: Nursery fight fans with some snappy work recently and chould give Firpo a tough battle. Preceding the main preMminary will be two four-round bouts.

For Szabo, the backdrop and the weapon which brought a recent loss here to Shikat, the flying tackle.

Szabo, about the same weight and height of Shikat, and possessing as much cleverness and speed, hopes to meke up for Ehikat's edge in experi- ence by a couple of well placed flying tackles and his backdrop, an unexcelled hold for the finishing of a fall, The preliminaries and semi-windup offer passibilities and several new- comers. Herb Freeman and George Hagen more or less stock figures here, will meet in the semi-final, to a finish, but Alex Aberg and George Colza, new here, will be the principals in one of the 30-minute time limit prelims.

That is exactly what Tommy Armour !did one day in the Summer of 1927, | for, even though the Black Scot, present | holder of the British open champion- ship and then the American open | champ, took a 7 on the par 4 four- | teenth hole, he bagged enough birdies | | and eagles over the route to bring his | score down to 63 strokes, just 10 strokes | better than the par of 73. | | J)ROFESSIONALS have found the Congressional Country Club course fairly easy, but to the amateurs it has been an enigma ever since the da: when the layout, built by Devereux E: | mett back in 1921 and 1922, was first thrown cpen. _Scores ranging from the preposterous 63 made by Tommy Ar- mour up through a group of 66's, 67's, 68 and 69's have been made by the vrothers Armour and other pros | throughout the years, and yet the ama- teurs have been unable to negotiate the course in better than 69—a mark that stands to the credit of three members of the club. The official professional course record stands at 71, made several times by members of the paid brigade in DD to the long, mournful list SORT of record fever hit Washing- | medal play competition, while the offi- cial amateur record stands at 72. The | three 69's, made by M.

Neither, of course, is Armour’s 63 | nor the series of scores just above that | mark which he made during his three- | year torm of service as resident pro. Glen S.

Congressional is one golf course around Washington on which the long hitter is in his element, for the wide open fairways actually invite the sluggers to test their mettle, and how they go| for it! The really low scores that have been made over the Congressional course have been made mostly by big hitters— men of the stamp of Tommy Armour, Page Hufty and M. Parker Nolan. Clarence Murphy is the only man who could be classed as a short hitter who has been able to hand par a smack on the pants at Congressional, but Murphy had a short game that stood out far above the average as did the putting of Bobby Jones when the Geor- gian was winning championships. 'HE queerest score ever made over that Congressional layout came Just last Summer, when Archie Clark, assistant to Sandy Armour, played the last nine holes in 36 strokes, exactly par, without a par on any of the nine holes. Figure that one out if you can. He took a 9—6 over par— on the par 3 sixteenth hole, and had enough birdles and buzzards mixed in tq give him a 36 for the nine, Clark, as well as Sandy Armour,,the resident pro, has been well down'in the low ‘i0s at Congressional and several times Sandy Armour has dropped into the upper 60s. Two new holes, to be opened in the | Spring, will improve the play of the last nine at Congressional and will remove that lengthy par 6 tenth hole from existence. The tenth and eleventh will be fairly hard par 4 holes and under present plans the short sixteenth will be dropped from the layout. But as the matter stands today, Congressional is the one course which has been made in 10 strokes better than par and still the one course on which par has been licked by only 2 strokes in actual competition. Much of the drama of low scoring at Congressional naturally centers around Tom Armour. He has done feats that seemed impossible. For ex- ample, he played a stretch of four | holes starting “at the sixteenth and ending at the first green in even 3s one day, scoring 3s on all the holes without a single deuce. He has played the first nine in 32 several times against par of 38 and has scored one or two 31s over the last nine. But then Tommy Armour is a figure unique in the world of golf. They don't make Armours every day. OMMITTEES to handle women’s golf affairs under the District Women's Golf Association this {esr have been announced by Mrs. Frank R.

BY W. R. McCALLUM. ASHINGTON'S army of public links golfers, numbering somewhere around 3,000 knights of the driver and mashie, get their golf better and cheaper than the | public links devotees in most of | the golfing cities scattered over the bunker-bordered land. Public links golf in the National Capital comes about as cheaply as golf can be played, but the public links addicts here not only get their golf cheaper than in most other representa- tive cities where standard length municipal golf courses are operated, but on the whole they get a better grade |of course on which to play, have favorable automobile parking conditions, plenty of room on which to play and | their choice of four good 18-hole courses. 5 | Truly Washington iz in many ways a paradise for public links golf, and the | result 1s seen in the many fine players turned out by the municipal courses here. Public links golf in Washington is a development of only a little more than a decade. Prior to 1920, when the first course in East Potomac Park was opened, there was only one golf course available for the people who did not belong to private clubs. That was the short and altogether inadequate 9-hole | course in West Potomac Park. The | West Potontac Park course still is in | operation, but today has sand greens and is classed as a “beginner’s course.” It has gone far behind the modern stand- rds of East Potomac Park, Rock Creek Park and Anacostia Park, where golf of much better brand challenges the skill of even the experts in the game. ir ET'S have a look at the prices charged for golf an courses in other citles comparable with East Potomac Park #nd Rock Creek Park ere, The rates charged at East Potomac and Rock Creek, under the management of concessionnaire Leoffler, are as fols lows: Daily, 9 holes, 15 cents; 18 holes, 25 cents; Saturdays, Sundays and holi~ days, 9 holes, 25 cents; 18 holes, 50 cents. Out in Chicago, & hotbed of golf, where there are at least a dozen municipal layouts, golf comes higher than it does here. The Evanston public course, out on the North Side, charges 50 cents for a round of 18 holes through the week and $1 on Sunday. At Palos Park, which is on the South Side and verges on the course of the Beverly Country Club, where last year's amateur championship was played, the rates are 50 cents daily and $1 on Saturdays, Sundays and holldays. Up in Boston, where Franklin Park’s public course has been in existence for three decades and more, the charges run higher. To play Franklin Park the gublic links golfer of the city of the bean and the cod has to lay $1 on the line through the week and his week-end golf costs him $3 a day, if he can find time to play I‘ space on the course. OUT in Detroit at Chandler Perk, the cl e 1s 50 cents dally, while in St. ul, where the national municipal links championship was played a few months ago, the da'ly charge is 75 cents for a single round. ‘The Dyker Beach Park public course in Brooklyn, N. Y., where Wiffy Cox is the pro, charges a buck for cach round through the week and more on Sunday and at Van Couriland Park, in New York, the same rate is charged. Pelham Bay Park, another New York public course, also charges $1 each week= day. At Cobb's Creek in Philadelphia, another famous public course, the deily fee 15 50 cents and more on week ends, while at Jacksonville, Fla, where the national championship was hsld two or three years back, the charge Is 50 cents daily. So it can be casily seen that public links golf here comes cheaper than in most of represanta= tive citles cf the country. OW, as to the courses. We have seen quite a few of the public lay= outs in other cities and while thore | may be a scattered few which are | more interesting than either Rock Creek or East Potomac Park, on the whole the local municipal courses stack up very well as fests of the game. Certainly if a golfer wants length and plenty of it, he can do worse than play Potomac Park. And if he wants tricks and a good deal of mashie-nib- lick work, he can find his fill at Rock Creek Park, a course which challenges the best there is in_any man. Course C at East Potomac Park has a length of 3132 yards, which is ample. The other courses are around 3,000 yards. Rock Creek Park's hilly layout totals 5,194, which is on the short side. but the many natural difficulties which be- set the player make up for the lack of length. Furthermore the authorities in charge of the public finks golf have provided ample facilities for comfort= able enjoyment of the game in Wash- ington. Large club houses with res- taurants and ample lounging space while awaiting the turn on the tee, make for better enjoyment of the game under municipal auspices. ~ Truly, Washington's public links golfers are better off than their fellows in most of the towns scattered over the land.
