The 36-hdle competition for The Evening Star Trophy, one of the major events of the sea- son, probably will be held at the Kenwood Golf and Country Club while the other big events of the tournament season will be tered among the other clubs which form the association. | Mrs. Frank R. Keefer, who was re- elected president of the association two weeks ago, has held a meeting of the Tournament Committee and tenta- tively decided on these clubs as the venue of two of the important tourna ments of the organization. The places and dates will be ratified at another meeting in March. Meanwhile plans are going forward for a series of team matches between picked teams repre- | senting Philadelphia and Baltimore. | Officiais of the women's assoctation | deny that relations between Washing- | ton and Baltimore have been strained | s & result of the complaint made fol- | lowing & tourney at the National Wom- en’s Country Club last Fall by a Balti- more woman golfer, but they are look- ing forward to competition between | Philadelphia and Washington this year. | The interclub team matches, which | were a feature of the women’s golf sea- | son hereabouts last year, will be carried forward this year and will start as soon as the season opens up, according to Mrs. J.

Last Winter Mrs. Haynes played | in several of the Southern tournaments | and was invited to go to England with | the United States women's team, which met a picked team of English and Scot- | tish woman gqlfers abroad last Spring. ‘Women's goll around Washington en- Joyed last year its most successful sea- | son. Fields of 75 and more golfers | were common during the Spring and Fall and in one or two cases the en- tries went over the 100 mark. On the whole, the season was the most suc- cessful of any since golf became a factor in women's sports around the Capital. This year the schedule will be more extensive than last year, for Mrs. Keefer has presented a trophy which will be played for in the Spring. In addition, such events as the District championship, The Star Trophy event, the Patterson Cup tourney and other | major events will be played. | NE of the features of the season | will be the competition for the ‘bachelor girl's trophy,” to be played at Bannockburn. In this medal play event married women will be eli- gible to compete, but the main prize will go to a single woman. The team events between the various clubs this year will be marked by the entrance of two teams from several of the clubs, Strict rules, which provide, among other things, that a club de- faulting three matches shall lose its place in the matches, have been drawn | up for the team contests, and they | will start earlier in the season than last year.

ILWAUKEE, January 26.—Wil- liam “Gorilla” Jones, long- armed 26-year-old Negro of Memphls, Tenn., was nized today by the National Boxing Assoclation as middleweight champion of the world. | Jones won the title last night by de- feating Oddone Piazza, sturdy youth of | Milan, Italy, on a technical knockout | in the sixth round of a scheduled 10- round battle, fought before a disap- | pointing crowd of 3,500. It was the championship bout of an elimination tournament conducted un- der the auspices of the N. B. A. to| determine a successor to Mickey Walk- er. He gave up the throne a year ago because he could no longer make the | weight limit of 160 pounds. The Memphis Negro, backed with five years of campaigning, outclassed, out- boxed and outfought his 22-year-old Italian aspirant. After a slow start he battered Piazza to pulp and had him on the verge of collapse when the bout was ended by the referee. Piazza Soundly Beaten. Jones won every round with the ex- | ception of the first. With the begin- | ning of the third he opened up with a | viclous assault that terminated when Pjazza, wobbling and reeling, sagged into the ropes, hopelessly beaten. With the start of the sixth round | Jones tore into the Italian, forcing him to the ropes unter a merciless barrage of punches to the head. Piazza, suc- ceeding in escaping, staggered across the ring, finally falling on his back in a- neutral corner. He gamely got up, | only to run into another vicious assault, | with Jones shocting punches to his jaw. Piazza sought refuge on the ropes again, but Jones tore after him. The Negro cracked him on the chin and Piazza, his arms dropping at his side, could offer no defense. As he was about tc sag into collapse, the referee waved Jones to his corner, declaring him the winner. The battle was a disappointment in | gate receipts and attendance. It at- | u;;cbed less than $5500 into the box office.

GOLFERS ON COAST LED BY MORRISON Culver City Pro Collects Total of $5,746 From Five Tournaments. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, January 26—To Fred Morrison, strapping professional from Culver City, Calif, goes the privilege this season of taking the top place of the money golfers at the end of the Far Western gold trail. Big, affable Fred, who won virtually no money in other years, amased $5,746.66 playing five of the six tourna- ments with aggregate cash prizes of $39,000. First place in the Agua Caliente $15,000 open gave him $5,000. Morrison took the golden throne va- cated by George Von Elm of Los Angeles, who won $7,447 of the $51,200 rize morey posted last season. Von only $1,610 this season. Gene Sarazen of New York, one of the greatest money winners of all time and the leader at the'end of the 1930 ‘Western season with $10,000, finished second to Morrison, coliecting $2.850. The money was more evenly dis- tributed than ever before, with 11 of the approximately 150 professionals It was a tough season, however, on Billy Burke of New York, National Open title holder, played in two tournaments and gathered only $355.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, January 26— A one-way trip at 111.14 miles an hour | placed the world speedboat record al- most within the reach of Gar Wood | vesterday, but motor trouble and brok- | en timing equipment forced him to halt his trials until today. The Detroit veteran pushed his Miss | America IX above the present record | of 110.223 miles an hour on a north- ward run over the Indian Creek course here, but motor trouble forced him down to 63 miles an hour on the southward trip and spoiled the necessary average. The average speed of north and south bound runs over the meosured nautical mile course is necessary in computing the record, rules of the Yachtman's Association of America rovide. The runs must be made with- an hour, so Wood's top speed of yes- terday cannot be counted today. NOT NEW FOR TOLEDO. Cleveland’s new farm team, Toledo of the American Association, once be- fore belonged to the Indians. During the Federal League days the Toledo Club was moved to Cleveland to provide continuous base ball. Spiders, they | were then. Golf Pros Splitting Spoils In Struggle for Gold, Fame . Over Winter By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 26.—Amer- ica’s professional golfing bri- gade is off to & wide open race in the struggle for gold and fame. Since the start of the big money tournaments in the Far West and South last month, seven of the most important events have returned no less than seven different winners by such commanding scores that the final rounds were robbed of much of their usual thrills. There have been no resemblances of the famous play-offs or close finishes of other years, when no one knew for sure who the winner was until almos: the last man in the fleld posted his final | round. The one-man shows of Winter golf | started in the finals of the $7,500 San Francisco match play open champion- ship, when Wifty Cox of New York gal- loped in with the title by crushing George Von Elm of Los les by the one-sided margin of 6 and 5.

D. G, TUESDAY, LIFE’'S DARKEST MOME THE FAMILY PICTURE OF HER SECPET PASSION 1S PUBLISHED IN A MOVIE MAGAZINE o= @ 1932 NyTRY JANUARY 26 L ! BUNE, e, THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANT ILLY BURKE, a day-by-day in- structor at golf, stepped out and bagged the United States open. Fred Morrison, aged 31, a golf teacher and a club professional most of his career, rarely seen in tour- nament play, waded in and won the $15,000 Agua Callente open, with a flock of tournament campaigners tak- ing his mud and dust over the Mexican course. There are many star golfers who have little chance to compete with the tournament veterans, who spend most of their time under fire. Morrison, one of the longest of the hitters, gave uE his club duties only a short while bacl and now he is out in front of the money brigade for 1932, with a good chance to go much further along. 8 1932 comes into focus it should be plain that many of the famil- iar trends we were discovering in sport last year and the years before have taken sudden turns and are now very unreliable. You can’t hurl the same jibes now that have been fash- ionable for the last decade—about the wildness, speed and impulsiveness of youth. In almost every line of sport the tendency is toward smarter, less boisterous Flfly, Speed is still the big resource of youth, but you can't call it & mania now, for the rising experts in too many branches of athletics are controlling it and making it fit neatly into new and effective patterns, In base ball this comes out most clearly in the revival of base running and low-score victories that featured the last major league campalgn, replac- ing the earlier slugging bees. Of course, there were plenty of high-score games in 1931, but two developments make it seem very likely that managers of the leading teams next season will revive the old arts and curb the toe-hold batters. N the first place, the difference in the offictal ball made better pitchers out of most of the men who had been toiling right along, and the young hurlers, men like Paul Derringer of the Cardinals and the surprising Jim Mooney, who livened up the last weeks of the Glants’ season, are showing ex- cellent control. The boxmen a getting back that confidence which was sagging perceptibly when Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson were leading every Tom, Dick and Harry in slamming the hapless pitchers’ slants into the bleachers. ‘Then, more important, the promi- nence grabbed by Pepper Martin and Ben Chapman last season put the spot- Pointers on Golf BY SOL METZGER. Certain star golfers press their hands forward of the clubhead when addressing the ball for a pitch with stop in order to insure hitting it underneath on the downswing with the face of the club. Others, like Johnny Farrell, secure the same result by playing the ball from a position a few inches back from where they. address it for driving. In other words, Farrell, in pitch- FARRELL PLAYS THE BALL MORE OFF RIGHT FOOT FOR PITCH Sl HTig 1-af-3a ing, stands so that the ball is a few inches nearer his right foot than when playing the orthodoxe golf shots. As a result, his club face comes into it while descending, the way the club face must meet the b?ééhfl stop is to be imparted on a pitch.

Pepper Martin clinched this develop- ment with his spectacular play in the wordd series. He proved in conclusive | fashion that a minus .300 hitter can be a great ball player and a matchless drawing card, provided he has speed and wits. | With this trend toward speed and cleverness coloring the advance proe- | pects for 1932, it looks as if some of | the big-toed sluggers would have to | change their spots or be benched in favor of wise youngsters able to func- {tion in a one-run attack plan. Fine | pitching is still the big factor in this | national game of ours, but when two | clubs both have it, the edge is going to rest with the opportunists in run- getting. Some of the best teams in base ball | today are not equipped to play the stolen base, hit-and-run, bunt and squeeze game because they've been nourished on the lively ball But gradually the smart managers are | going to make replacements looking to speed rather than slamming. Let thc | rookies keep this in mind. | ment can be seen in tennis, though | on a smaller scale. The exceptional | individuality of Bill Tilden, who ruled for such a long time in American ten- | nis, blatted out much consideration of trends. But the winning of Johnny Doeg in 1930 was a true-to-type hap- | pening from the standpoint of the | youth's-mania-is-speed observers. With 2 detonating service and flashing vol- leys, Doeg brushed past his crafty con- temporaries. Now Ellsworth Vines has proved ém- phatically that speed is not the watch- word in tennis. His amazing accuracy in hitting for the lines, his willingness to play a back-court game, are new phenomena on the courts, except as they recall Tilden’s strong points. Vines is not a slugger, even if he does hit hard with his service and ground strokes; his forte is marksman- ship and how many youngsters have gained much reputation for that in the last few years? It's true that he's more the exception than the rule right now, because Shields, Bell and some of the other younger players still rely on speed and fireworks. But a year ago there wasn't even a good exception. And over in England they have an- other exception coming along in Vines groove; he's Fred Perry. The most machine-like of net titans was Rene Lacoste, but his artistic play never in- spired our American kids much, not even when he was proving its excel- lence with victories over Tilden. And don't forget that it takes more courage to work on smaller margins of error, either in base running on the diamond or sharpshboting the lines in tennis, than it does to blast awey and laugh off the result when it lsn't satis- | factory.

EW YORK§ January 26.—In the press room at Madison Square Garden there has come into being an in- | formal organization known as the N. Y. U. Club. This has no con- nection with New York University. The initials stand for New York Unemployment Club. Its mem- bers consist of newspaper men out of work and a handful of vet- eran fistic managers, who are not doing so well these days. Sitting in with the N. Y. U. Club for an afternoon, one picks up some en- tertaining yarns of life in the sock market. One of the most intriguing of the members of this informal organization is Phil Lewis, manager of many a good fighter in other days. Phil is the same guy today as in his more prosperous period. He takes life as it | comes. Joe Jacobs, manager of Max Schmel- ing, the world champion, sticks his head inside and then goes on upstairs to talk to President Carey about the | Sharkey match. Gave Jacobs Start. | “Great guy, Jacobs” says Lewis. | “Joe was my man Friday back in 1816. | Now he’s sitting on top of the world. | He was a Handy Andy when he was | with me 15 years ago. I liked Joe be- | cause he was always on his toes. He | had natural ability, and I decided for | him that he could better himself by stepping out on his own. I staked him | to Benny Valger. Joe christened | Benny the Prench Flash, s moniker t! seemed to catch e popular fancy. | n' any case, Joe took Valger and | starting with three matches I nrnnf‘cn | for him, he made $100,000 with h | after other experienced managers all had falled to do anything with the Flash. The funny part of it was that Valger wasn't a Frenchman at_al but a Jewish boy out of the East Side. Jacobs can tell you a lot of funny yarns about Valger.” “Is Dempsey in town yet?” body asks, as Lewis subsides. “That reminds me," Mwu;xp-s up again. “I was standing on roadway | one day when Jimmy Regan, the Cali- | | fornia _ lightweight, = stepped - up and | | said: ‘Phil, I wish 'you would do me a | favor. John the barber Bas split with Jack Dempsey, and Jack and I are | stuck for two weeks' rent. Will you Some- ‘Lewis‘Gave Jacobs and Other Ring Leaders Push Up Ladder’ Cowler at Charlie Murray's club, and if we don't get there hell blow the fight.’ Kept Dempsey in Fight. “I settled the rent for them and coughed up $25 to get thent to Buf- falo. Dempsey made $200 out of the fight and went back to California, where he met Jack Kearns. Th | formed the partnership which brougnt them millions. “Jerry the Greek, Dempsey’s trainer and companion for many years, was one of my discoveries. 1 had been in Cleveland in 1909, where I had Kid Julian fighting Charlie White. On my way back I stopped off at Rochester. I went into a little coffee joint for a bite, and noticed a dishwasher in there, so crippled with rheumatism he hardly could walk. “I took a shine to him, sent him to a hospital, paid all his expenses for three months, until he recovered, and then put him to work for me.

BY FRAN“§ E. STAN. Iy LESS success follows the U efforts of Secretary George L. Isemann of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress today or tomorrow, Connecticut *lue Ribbon bowlers will pocket the stake posted by the National Pale Drys of Washington, but will be left “holding the bag,” as far intercity match, scheduled for Friday in Williman- tic, is concerned. Lewis Hopfenmaier, backer of the Pale Drys, declared last night the Drys would not be sent to Willimantic to re- turn the Blue Ribbons' visit, so today George Isemann was endeavoring to muster a team to replace the Pale Drys. For several weeks, after the shock of the terriffic pasting the Ribbons plastered on the Pale Drys had warn off, it was rumored the Drys would for- feit the stake and not repay the annual | visit to New England. No decision, however, was reached 3¢ | until last night when Hopfenmaier, who called a meeting of his team, is said to have declared not enough interest | was shown by the bowlers and that he | was going to pass up the final five- game block of the big intercity claza. ‘Two of the Pale Dry bowlers, it was understood, failed to attend last uight's meeting. i |7 1t also was reported Hopfenmaier was * | severing connections with his National Capital League entry, which is heading the circuit. \ HE Blue Ribbons were expecting the Pale Drys in Willimantic Priday for the final blocks of the team, The Drys | are tralling in all three matches. They * are almost hopelessly behind in the team match and little better off in the | doubles. Astor Clarke is trailing Nicks | Tronsky by 18 sticks in the singles. | Whether a team can be mustered and the trip made is doubtful consider- ing the short notice. However, Brad- ley Mandley and another Washington bowler are almost certain to leave for | willimantic for the second annual East- | ern_Sweepstakes, to be held Saturday. Mandley is the defending champion, having won last year with the record- smashing score of 1,938. It is reported: Ollle Pacini will accompany Mandley. ' Should Mandley and Pacini go, only | three more bowlers will be needed to, pose a full team. Should a team . | ormed, it will assume the Pale | Drys’ date on Priday, and on Saturday all of the members will, in all prob= | ability, enter the Eastern Stakes. OPFENMAIER for nearly two years has backed the Pale Drys, and> few duckpin teams have enjoyed the success of that band. During the 1930-31 season Hopfenmaier took over % | the reins of the original Washington | Juniors, who suffered only one defeat, a loss to the Blue Ribbons of Con- necticut. ~ This season, with an almost entirely new line-up, the Drys:have .led the National Capital League l\l‘num. In the intercity battle against the* Blue Ribbons, however, they took it on the whiskers by 213 pins. Despite the loss of theix. backer, ths | Drys are not expected to drop out of ¢ | the league. They have only 11 moreZ | sets to bowl and, with the pennani near, it is almest certain they will | finish the season. OHN §.
