SPORTS. BOTH COURAGEOLS, LIKEABLE YOUTHS Pete, Night Watchman’s Son, Robert’s Pater Wealthy. Nichols Dies Hard. BY EARL RUBY. OUISVILLE, Ky., July 23— Two boys by the name of | Miller, both just old enough to vote, one the son of a wealthy real estate man in Chi- | cago and the other the son of a | night waichman in a shipyard in | Jacksonville, are fighting it out| today for the public links golf | championship of the United States in the final reund at the Shawnee Golf Club in this city.

EVERYBODY in and around Philadelphia knows Jack Kelly. For some vears he was the national sculiing champion. ~You will recollect that in 1920 he went to the Olympic games at Antwerp and beat Beresford of England for the world title. With Paul Costello, Kelly also was a leader in_doubles. There are some who sey that Jack Kelly was the best sculler American rowing yet has produced. At any rate he was exceptionally good, and now, years after his heydey, he still is inferested in rowing and other forms of sport, as an officer of the Penn Athletic Club of Philadelphia. 19 CANOE TITLES WILL BE DECIDED Star Paddlers From 18 Clubs to Compete in Regatta Here Tomorrow. | INETEEN national canoe titles will be at stake tomorrow when crack paddlers from 18 Eastern clubs compete over a Hains Point course in the 1932 National Rac- ing Canoe Association championships. The meet will begin at 10 o'clock. The Pendleton Canoe Club of New York is the defending team champion, | but the Washington Canoe Club, run- ner-up last year, is expected to give the national title holders a stouter battle than last year and by many the locals are regarded as favorites. With the cream of the Eastern blades- men entered, it is possible some of the | races may be negotiated in record time. Champions who won their titles jast e JACK KELLY. Kelly's success in rowing laid the foundation for greater achievements in the game of life. He carried his fighting spirit into business and they say he is close to being a million- aire. Kelly comes of an accomplished family. His brother Walter is the Virginia judge of vaudeville fame. His brother George is & well known playwright. ‘And Jack himself likes to dabble in amateur theatricals. He has written and acted in_annual shows for the Penn A. C. Keily supervises the rowing activities of the club, and if he had the time he'd come back today and pull those sculls through the water of another Olympic com- petition. (Copyright, 1832.)

GREAT many fishermen make the mistake of casting thelr Jure only once to each spot that is likely to hold a fish. They work down the shoreline casting every few feet, once to each loca- tion. This is a mistake because, de- spite common belief to the contrary, bass sleep, and ofttimes your first cast will arouse him from his slum- ber too late to attack the bait. How- ever, cnce awake, he's alive to the fact that “something’s doing,” and | by shooting your lure a second time to the same spot you Wwill many times be rewarded with a nice bass that otherwise you would have missed completely. Bass often travel in pairs, and it | is wise to be alert for the mate when one is caught. Circle the area in which you have taken one bass and in that way give the sec- ond one an opportunity for a little free lynch, too. ‘What are your fishing and camp- ing problems?

There were 16 entries, 10 from Switzerland, and in addition Dr. Alexander Alekhine of France, | world champion; Sultan Khan of Great Britain, S. Flohr of Czechoslovakia, E. D. Bogoljubow of Germany, Dr. Max Euwe of Holland and Dr. O. Bernstein of France. Dr. Alekhine kas assumed the lead with four straight victories. He is followed, in order, by J. Colin of Switzerland, Dr. Euwe, Flohr and Voelimy, the latter also of Switzerland. Dr. Alekhine defeated Sultan Khan in the first round, but he has his hardest games yet to play. Other games of | note were the draw of Flobr with Bo- | goljubow, the win of Dr. Euwe from Bogoljubow, the win of Khan from | Dr. Naegeli of Switzerland, who had | recently won from Dr. Alekhine in a practice tournament, and the draw games between Hans Johner and Flohr, and Prof. Rivier and Dr. Eus | s | HE Star of July 9 made reference to the complairt of Rudolph Spielman of Vienna, Austria, of | the methods adopted by Dr. Alexander | Alekhine, world champion, to control the list of entrants in tournaments in | which he has participated. It was| stated that Alekhine has a shifting| Scale of charges for his services, and | With reference to Capablanca has| made it difficult for him to enter the | tournaments in which Alekhine has| taken part. They have not met in a single game since their match at Buenos Alres for the world champion- | ship in 1927. Now comes a cable message from | Havana stating that Capablanca has| given up his plans to participate in the California Chess Congress, to which he had been invited, and had accepted tentatively. The reason given is that Capablanca found it impossible to go to California because Alekhine had in- sisted that he receive an additional $2,000 to the amount otherwise guar- anteed if Capablanca took part in the tournament. The Tournament Com- mittee was not prepared to pay this additional amount. Alekhine had been | invited first and the committee felt| obligated to take him. Any such method of controlling the | selection of opponents or of preventing | the best players from competing by a| champion does not appear to be fair play 2nd will lessen interest in the performances of the world champion. it is to be hoped there will not be a selecting players for the Chess Congress at the World Fair at Chicago next year.

He uses the square stance at all times. But while he tees the ball off his left heel for the long shots, it is off the right toe for his short pitches. When it comes to putting, it is again played off the left heel. Obviously, in all cases, Gene is set for compactness, as the accom- panying sketches show. Unlike a number of other stars, he plays his putter from inside the direction line. He takes the club SARAZEN'S STANCES back with his right hand and swings through with it too. This means that he opens the blade a bit on the backswing, and that at contact his left elbow breaks a little in order to let the clubhead go through.

The players, including three of the country's “first ten” stars, became dis- satisfied with the brand of hospitality being distributed by the Seabright Cricket and Tennis Club and requested a new deal. Seabright not only remained stead- fast in defens> of its hospitality, but al the same time released the boys of any obligation to appear in the historic Seabright tournament next week. Condensed, the whole situation re- volved about the question of what con- stituted an_eliminated tennis player. The club decided a year ago that a performer, once defeated, was out of that particular tournament and no | longer merited the bounty of the club. The players, on the other hand, held that they rightfally were guests of the host club for the duration of the meet. regardless of their success on the courts. B.
