SPORTS. B e Golfers Find Depression Silver-Lined : Florida Meet “Shows Up” the Big Cup BALL PRICES NOW LOWEST IN YEARS ,Latest Cut Makes Standard $phere Economical Buy for Linksmen. BY W. R. McCALLUM. NOTHER slash in the price of the most-used article of golf equipment has been made. Golf ball prices, al- ready far below the 1931 level, to- day are dropping toward the lev- els of 1910 and 1912. The Nation's largest manufac- turer of golf balls, having ab- sorbed, in common with the other manufacturers, the 10 per cent tax on sporting goods equipment, today notified golf professionals and merchants selling golf equip- ment of a new low in golf balls of the standard price classes. Golf balls which sold for years at 75 cents each, $225 for three and $9 by the dozen, will sell in the future at 65 cents each, $1.25 for two, $1.95 for three and $7.80 by the dozen. Cheaper balls have been reduced in correspond- ing ratio, and it is anticipated that im- ported balls which have sold at 85 cents and $1 the copy will be correspondingly reduced in price. Down goes the price of all golf equipment, for golf balls are among the last of the articles used to catch the slash. Club prices have been radi- y marked down for two years and more. The golf ball price reduction is even more marked than appears on the sur- face. If the 10 per cent tax on sport goods equipment were added to the price of the old 75-cent golf ball the e would be 82!, cents the single 11 or $2.471. for three. Now comes the further slash in price, bringing standard golf balls—not of the drug-store variety—for the first ;nmesin two decades down below three or $2 Records for 1932 show that while sales of the three-for-a-dollar and 25- cent golf balls and the 50-cent balls were high, the standard 75-cent ball continued to be the leader with only a moderate drop from the 1931 figures. At the current prices almost any one who plays the game can afford to play the 65-cent ball. The manufacturers guarantee there will be no reduction in playing quality of their product. RUTH'S STAND DRAWS FIRE FROM MAIJORITY Some, Though, Back Yankee Slug- | ger in Demand for Salary in Excess of $50,000. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 8—Babe Ruth’s flat announcement that he would retire from base ball rather than sign a $50,000 contract with the New York Yankees has met with widely dif- fering reactions from major league base ball observers Some took the position that Ruth, as the greatest drawing card in the game, was worth as much money as he could get. A somewhat larger percentage be- lieved the slugger was pursuing a poor policy in view of the financial situation Writing in the Boston Traveler, Neal O'Hara quoted the huge salarles paid | radio and motion picture luminaries and then said: “This is no time to try chiseling the real stars, especially \hen the stars are as well heeled as Ruth. The Yankees will need Babe in there whacking hom- ers this year, you can bet. It is an axiom of the amusement industry that in tough times it takes the topnotchers to lure them to the box office.” Stony McLinn, columnist of the Phil- adelphia Record, took the other side of the _question “Babe Ruth should consider himself lucky to be able to get $50,000 for one season in these days of depression,” he said. “He should take it and shake hands with himself and thank Col. Rup- abe has made more than a million out of base ball when the making was good, and there’s no reason why he shouldn’t string along with the rest of us now. Fifty grand is a lot of money and the Babe will make a mistake if he doesn't grab it.” SEEK_IiUNNER-UP SPOT Columbia Heights Blacks Battle Marlboro Booters Sunday.

MERELY EXERCISE Nothing to Be Excited Over, Says Hardell—Schedulg About Complete. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, Jr. s UR schedule is arranged, but our tesem is deranged,” moaned E. Phinias (Hap) Hardell, Tech foot ball | coach, when questioned today about | the chances of the Gray winning its | sixth straight public high title next Fall. Tech will use its new gridiron for the first time. “1 see some people are getting ex- cited about the so-callgd Spring prac- | tice we are having over here at Tech | this year,” quoth Hap. “Why, that| dcesn’t mean a thing. We're not even | using suits. We don't want to get 'em | dirty. We're having no rough stuff. | The boys are getting about as much | exercise out of it as they get working a jig saw puzzle, and mentally even | less. You do have to use your head | & little with the puazzles. ‘But little | brainwork is needed to throw the pig- iskm around as we are doing these days.” Tech’s schedule for the coming Au- tumn is about complete. It includes, in addition to the public high elevens, Handley High of Winchester; Episcopal High of Alexandria; Swavely of Ma- nassas, annual opponents, and Roa- noke High, which has been scheduled | tentatively for November 18 in the Virginia City. The Tech grid card: September 30—Handley High at | Winchester, kb October 6—Episcopal. October 17—Roosevelt. October 27—Western. November 3—Central. November 10—Eastern. November 18—Roanoke High at Roa- noge, Va. (pending). November 24—Swavely at Manassas. ASTERN supporters view their bas- | ket ball team'as the uncrowned D. C. champs. They assert that Eastern, in defeating Central, the title | holder, two of three games established |its supremacy. Eastern's win over | Central, Tech and Oakridge Military | Academy to achieve the Washington | and Lee tourney crown for the second | straight year was an accomplishment | any schoolboy team has & right to crow | about, adherents of the Indians contend. | An attractive foot ball schedule is being arranged -for the Central High | eleven for next Fall. Negotiations have | been closed for a Thanksgiving day game with the White Plains, (N. Y.) High team at White Plains and other interesting tilts are being listed. ECAUSE it was only recently de- cided that Tech would put a base ball team on the field this year, little progress in arranging & schedule for the Gray nine has been made. In fact, aside ‘from the public high title | games, not a single engagement so far has been listed, Coach E. G. Foxley has announced. The Tech mentor must do much suc- cessful rebuilding if the Gray is to have a creditable nine. A group of last season’s players, including Gauzza, Hurwitz and Wills, outfielders; Cren- shaw, catcher; Big Eddie Turner, Davig |and Robinson, inflelders, and Little Eddie Turner, pitcher, have been lost. | Karl and Freddy Nau, and Woods | and Wilmeth, ipfielders; Virnstein, Beach and Williams, outfielders, and Chewning and Taylor, pitchers, are amang boys now figured apt to land | berths with the nine this year, | | Foxley plans to devote as much time | as possible to intramural base ball and | | figures to form a league. Thus, he| points out, many boys who otherwise | merely would sit on the sidelines would | get a chance to play. | GREEN TO COACH DRAKE Former Illinois Grid Star Shifts From Oklahoma City U.

Feather. Show a Thriller. 'HETHER Pete Sarron will fulill his followers' predic- tion that he will reach the featherweight heights is a matter of conjecture, but the Birming- ham Syrian boxer apparently is a little too tough for the brand of opposition dished him in this neck of the woods. Sarron administered to Baltimore's Benny Schwartz the worst defeat in the lengthy career of the Jewish ring- man at Portner's Arena last night, earn- ing a technical kayo in the seventh round after opening a wide cut over Schwartz's left eye. Sarron, who throws more gloves in & round than most fighters do in a 10- round fight, rushed Benny off his feet in the first three rounds, rested a and came back to neatly polish off the bewildered Baltimorean before a howl- ing crowd which witnessed perhaps the season’s best fight show at Alexandria. 'HE Birmingham battler charged Schwartz at the opening bell and 40 seconds later sank a hard right to the pit of the stomach. Benny went down, claiming a foul, but rose at the count of four, when Referee Charlie Short refused to ize his claims and continued to toll. For two more rounds Sarron belted Schwartz about the ring, piling up a healthy lead, Schwartz rallied in the fourth to eamn it by a shade, but Sarron came | 9% back to take the fifth and sixth heats. Schwartz made repeated protests during exchanges about foul blows ch Referee Charlie Short and the mm jority of critics could “see.” The squawks of Benny's half a dozen handlars only drew booes from the crowd. In the seventh Sarron again was the master, backing Benny into a corner and bouncing a sharp, looping right off his eye. Blood spurted and 8arron stepped back. Schwartz was forced to call it quits, 5o freely was the claret flowing. CLEAN-CUT kayo and one of the technical variety featured the supplementary program of the well, Va., lightweight, knocked out | Benny Whittler, batting for Vince 8erio, in the fourth round of their scheduled six-rounder. Jacobs took quite a beat- ing in the second and third rounds, but his relentless body attack caused Whittler to drop his guard and Stumpy pounded home the haymaker. Jack Gentile and Buddy Grimes staged & great scrap. Grimes took the | firgt two rounds by slight margins, but | the slugging Gentile dropped him for | eight in the fourth round and a nine- count in the fifth to win the duke. Billy Landers saved his recently- mended right hand until Sammy Romano was sufficiently softened up and won from the local boy by a tech- nical kayo in the fifth heat of their | scheduled six-rounder. Referee Charlie | Short stopped the bout after Rcmano | T was all but unable to defend himself. In the opening four-rounder Cary Wright defeated Jack Quigley in a free swinging fray which found Quigley hanging on in the final round. ADDRESS WESLEYAN GRADS. Dr. James L.

ON'T take a grip that will make the hands battle each other in the golf swing—that was the gist of yesterday's installment in this series, with stress being laid on the necessity of finger grip. which is, of course, applicable whether the overlap{)lnx or interlocking method is employed. But what of the thumbs? Here there are some important detalls to be looked after. Study the grip of Gene Sarazen, sketched above, as he takes it for long shots. Most golfers place their thumbs in the same way. Gene's left thumb is not on top of the shaft, but an the right, or back, side of it. Neither is his right thumb on top of the shaft. It lies across its front obliquely. The thumbs are less flexible than the fingers. In the above position they do not oppose each other. And with them in position the hands are properly related to the shaft. ‘The left is well on top, which facili- tates left-hand control in the back- and aids wrist cock. The it hand is not too much under the ahaft, which would tend to remove the weight of the club from the fingers to the palm. Golf is a form game. Correct your pivot and you will add yardage to your shots.

IX-INCH putting cups re- ceived a thorough test in the Florida Year-Round Club open golf tournament at Miami, Fla., and made scoring ridiculously easy for the star professional. Paul Runyan, the winner, averaged 66!% strokes per round for a total of 266, which I believe to be the lowest score ever returned in a 72-hole tournament in the United States. It is easy to compute the difference the six-inch cups made to the stars who competed in the recent Miamf tournament. When the Miami-Biltmore tournament was played over the course bearing the same name last November, Densmore Shute won with a total of 201. Over the same course and from the same tees Runyan recently won with a score 25 strokes below the total made by Shute. In the November tournament there were just 11 players under 300, while in the Florida year-round competition’ 20 players received prizes for scores of 286 or better. Even 4s, for years re- garded as perfect golf, were just & wasted effort in the Florida year- round tourney. . N the Miami-Biltmore tournament last Fall Runyan finished third with a total of 294, so that the dif« ference between the regulation four and-one-quarter inch cups and the six-inch holes amounted to 28 strokes; over seven pr* round for the little New Yorker. Of course, it must be reckoned that Runyan is playing much better golf now than he did in November. } He began picking up speed in January | when he won the Agua Caliente open and was traveling at top speed when he paired with Horton Smith to win' | the four-Lall matches at Miami a short time ago. But, cn the ot foolish to believe | by a margin of 28 s | the benefit of a 10 ment—fcr that is the over Charlie Gue't, who finished sec- ond—and there still is a difference of 18 strokes. That may be attributed to the increased diameter of 1% inches in the larger cups.

Balks at Four-Foot Putt, But Gets His Lone Birdie “addy Also Falters, So Jurney, New Senate Sergeant at Arms, Decides to “Concede” Shot. BY W. R. McCALLUM. HAT old friend of so many golfers at Washington Golf and Country Club, “Senator” Chesley W. Jurney of Texas, New York and points East and West, has at last scored his first official birdie and “Big Boy” Evans, his rotund colored caddie, is incon- solable. Jurney, he of the 10-gallon black hat and the pleasing per- sonality, who tried for years to score a legitimate birdie on the golf course and finally got one by mutual con- cession with “Big Boy” last Sum- mer, has been appointed sergeant at arms of the Senate, taking over the post formerly occupied by David 8. Barry, another ardent golfer. And Evans wonders whether he a:" sagain will tote the Jurney golf = . For years Jurney came out to the Washington Club, late in the after- | noon after his duties on Capitol Hill were finished for the day, hiring “Big Boy” to tote his golf bag, and walloped a usually erring ball over the hills and dales of the Virginia course. To tell the truth Jurney is not much of a golfer so far as scar- ing is concerned, but no man gets more thrill from the game. He played solely for the exercise, and he ‘didn’t get much companionship, for he seldom started before 5 o'clock. With “Big Boy” he went out clad in knickers, high boots and gloves, ever striving for the elusive birdie. He got a few pars over the years, but the birdie of which others talked always had eluded him until one hot evening last Summer. On this fateful occasion, after “Big. Boy” had chased countless shots into ravines and bunkers and had ’ played not a few of Jurney's errant shots himself, the “Senator” stood on the ninth tee looking over a ravine toward the green.185 yards away. Carefully he took his stance —the “Senator” is always meticulous in form ahd dress—and carefully he swung. To his surprise the ball started out on & high flight and a true line straight toward the distant pin. It took one hop and ended a few feet from the hole. The “Senator” was appalled. He could see, even from that distance, that his long-awaited chance had come at last. As.he walked up the bill to the green he studied the situation. When *he reached the green he carefully sur- veyed the line, studied the breeze “Suppose I plied. As he studied that short 4-footer the “Senator's” perturbation in- creased. He dn’t had many chances for a birdie over the years and to miss this one would, indeed, be “terrible.” Golf gets ’em that way from champions down. The moment was electric. Nature stood still, awed by the potentiali- ties of the first birdie. Birds stopped chirping. The hush of late evening stole over the Virginia hills as Jur- ney’s palpitating nerves jumped and quivered. Finally he sald” An effulgent smile broke over the Jurney countenence. “I'll tell you. Let's concede it to each other,” he sald. And forthwith they did. Jur- ney had accomplished his first birdie. at_Washington. serves E vored spot among the better golf yarns.

Friends School girl backeteers des feated the Gunston Hall tet, 25-16, yesterddy in brisk comp Summary: Priends (25) Hawley, { Boxers Moan as “Gates” Shrink Fight “Top” Today General Admission Few Years Ago Sports Topliners Sadly Recall. BY WILBUR WOOD. , g EW YORK, March 8—On a July night in 1926, Paul Ber- lenbach lost the light heavy- weight championship to Jack Delaney at Ebbets Field. The gate was ardund $450,000. It would have been higher if there had been room enough inside the walls of the Brook- lyn ball yard to accommodate all those who clamored to see the fight. Friday night, in Madison Square Garden, Maxie Rosenbloom will risk the light heavyweight crown on a | 15-round joust with Adolph Heuser | of Germany. What will this bout | draw? The most optimistic estimate | places the receipts at less than 5 per cent of the gate for the Berlenbach- Delaney fight. It is possible the pickings - will be only about 1 per cent of the Berlenbach-Delaney melon. 4 In the golden era of the Queens- sports, from 1921, when Dempsey and Carpentier brought in a total of $1,789,000, until June 14, 1930, when Sharkey and Schmeling were good for $750,000, huge gates were the rule. Old-time fighters, who had been wont to battle for hours for no more than the prelimi- nary boys down in the + golden era. lamented that they shad been born tco soon. Now the pendulum has swung back. Th: headliners of today la- ment that they were born too late. It is most unlikely that a champion- ship match in any division except the heavyweight class will bring a gate of $100,000 this year. Prices for the R: bloom-Heuser match will range from 55 cents to $3.30. The “top” today is no more than the general admission a few years ago.
