SPORTS HAVE ONLY THREE MORE B EVENTS Wood, Runyan to Battle Down Stretch to Decide Main Money Getter. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HE open tournament golf schedule for the Winter and early Spring of 1933 is on its last legs. Only three big tourneys remain in the East for the boys who do their talking with flying divots, and there will be no big event held around Washington this Spring to make a Roman holiday for the pros. ‘The touring professional clans, fresh from a Winter season which turned out better than expected, are on the way north pointing toward the three tourna- ments left and toward that goal of all professional golfers—the national open championship to be played in June. It is too early yet to pick the big money winner of the 1933 season in the South and East, for the three coming tournaments will set the crown on the heads of either Paul Runyan, the little big man from New Jersey, or blond Craig Wood, who hails from the same State. ‘Wood, winner of the Los Angeles and San Francisco open tourneys, and Runyan, winner of the Agua Caliente and Miami events and co-winner with Horton Smith of the International Four Ball, are virtually bracketed for the winning positions, leading all their brother pros by a mile. Wood is out in front with total winnings of $4,400. Runyan trails him by only $300, for “Little Poison” has won $4,100. If either of them wins one of the three remaining tournaments he will become the big money winner of the current season. 'HE Charleston open affair, in which Al Houghton of Kenwood will be a contestant, is the first of the trio of events remaining on the schedule. ‘This tournament will start on March 23. running for three days, and will be followed by the lucrative North and South open, to be played March 28 and 29 at the Carolina resort. Prize money for the Charleston tourney will be about $2.500, while that at Pinehurst is to be about $4.500. If either Runyan or Wood cop the Pinehurst tourna- ment the one who wins will be the big money winner of the year. Then will come the Cavalier open event, to be played at Virginia Beach on April 1 and 2, for $1,500, and the Winter and Spring season of 1933 will be washed up. Wood and Runyan have played fine golf this Winter. Between them their winnings have been fairly heavy. But their success should point a lesson to young professionals who have an idea that playing tournament golf is an- other way of making a pleasant living. It's far from that. Even as fine a plaver as Horton Smith has had a tough row to hoe this year. And Gene Sarazen's prize winnings total some- thing less than $1,000. When such big shots of the game as Sarazen, Smith and Tommy Armour cannot pull down expenses on the ‘Winter tour, what can a less gifted youngster expect to do? John Revolta is the only one of the new professional crop this years who has been able to go | along with the big shots of the game | and win money enough to cover ex- | penses. Yet there are scores of young professionals who look toward the day | when they may become tournament | golfers, winning big purses and getting | the headlines. It's a tough game, this | business of winning money in profes- | sional events, and the money and the glory go only to the few. The pro who sticks to his job at an established coun- try club has a big edge on the gents who tour the country seeking purses. He—at least—is sure of his salary and an income from lessons and sales. UT the lad who hopes to break into the big time some day in a com- petitive way is strictly up against it. Few of them make the grade and even most of the big shots, like Sarazen. and Armour, have a club job to tie up | to in leam times. With purses as they | are it's a rough road for the boys who | try to make a living by winning tour- | naments, expect for gents of the Wood- | Runyan type. Expenses are heavy. Caddy hire isn’'t the cheapest item and it costs money to live. The competi- tion is keener than it ever has been and on the whole the tournament racket is undoubtedly one of the tough- | est any youngster ever tackled if he hopes to make a living at it. The playing professional is a big asset to the game. Men like Armour, Sarazen, Hagen, Smith, Runyan and Wood have done more to spread the gospel of better golf than anything else. But where they have succeeded in winning purses there are a host of lesser lights who couldn’t stand the pace. The tournament game is no spot for a youngster who hopes to get ahead in golf. He would better stick with e 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. ALTER JOHNSON, ace of the given a joit by e at g camp. The Colts hopped on Walter for five clean hits in the fourth inning and got to him again in the fifth. Then they socked his successor, Bickers, for five runs in the seventh. John- son, however, at no time extended himself. Tom Hughes, who started against Sir Walter, was in fine form. Milan got three hits and Williams and McBride each two for the Reg- ulars, while Connelly, Calvo, Schae- fer and Morley each twice connect- ed safely for the Colts. Baltimore ~newspaper bowlers, after walloping the Evening Star team, were guests of the latter at a St. Patrick's day banquet last night at the Raleigh. Charles Long, one of the veterans of the Star Club, was the toastmaster.

Southland of The Star composing room made a witty talk. Catholic University’s ball team ‘was welcomed at Union Station upon its return from Charlottesville, where it defeated the University of Virginia nine. Wally Pipp, C.

Frank Gotch, world wrestling champion, will meet George Lurich of Europe at Kansas City. Harry Lewis, American welter- weight boxer, knocked out Jack Harrison, middleweight champion of England, in the third round of their scheduled 20-round fight in London. SUTTER IS MANGIN FOE FOR NET TITLE Dixian Plays Brainy Game in Upsetting Shields—Champ . Conquers Wood. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 18.—Quickly | adapting his game | boards, Clff Sutter, brainy racquet-weilder from New Or- leans, had blasted his way into the | final round of the national indoor ten- | nis championships and an encounter with Gregory S. Mangin of Newark, de- fending title holder, today. Playing in his third indoor tourna- | ment, Sutter has mastered the tricky | lighting and erratic bounce of the ball |in one short week until today he was | conceded virtually an even chance of | dethroning Mangin, a veteran of the covered court game. Sutter . reached the final round through an unexpected defeat of Frank | Shields of New York in a brilliant five- set struggle. The Southerner dropped | the first two sets but called upon all his guile and skill to minimize Shields’ | terrific speed and won the next three sets and the match, 2—6, 2—6, 6—3, | 6—4 | Mangin, in the meantime, was flash- |ing great form in whipping blond Sidney B. Wood of New York in the other semi-final, 9—11, 6—2, 6—4, 6—4. The Newark star's game is at its best on the boards, and his experience in- doors may prove the deciding factor in his final-round meeting with Sutter. The doubles final was to bring to- gether Sutter and Dr. Eugene McCaulift of Yonkers, and Dr. Lawrence Kurgrok and John B. Pittman of New York. Sutter and Dr. McCauliff disposed of Mangin and Berkeley Bell in the semi- finals yesterday, 4—6, 6—3, 6—4, 5—17, 6—4, while Kurzrok and Pittman, an unseeded combination. were eliminating Wood and Edward W. Burns of New York, 6—4, 4—6, 6—1, 5—1, 7—5. VINES NOW OPPOSES OPEN Changes Mind and Says He Would Not Enter Such Event.

LEHIGH MATMEN'S TITLE THREATENED Princeton Shows Unexpected Strength in Collegiate Championships. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 18.—Lehigh University's Eastern intercol- legiate wrestling crown was in grave danger today. ‘The Pennsylvanians, pre-tournament favorites and unbeaten in dual meet competition this year, qualified only three men for the finals in the pre- liminaries last night, as against four for a surprisingly powerful Princeton team. Yale and Penn State also qualified three men, Pennsylvania two and Cornell one. Columbia, also unbeaten in dual meets, failed to send a single grappler into the championship rounds. Although trailing Princeton in the number of men qualified, Lehigh held & slight margin in points scored, on falls, toward the team championship. The defending titleholders amassed five points against four for Yale, three for Princeton and one each for Penn State and Cornell. EHIGH suffered unexpected setbacks in the 118 and 135 pound classes. Garrett Richter of Princeton won a referee’s decision over Milo Meixel | of Lehigh in the lighter division, while | Max Hurwitz of Cornell eliminated | Marcel Peck of Lehigh in the light- weight competition. Four 1932 champions reached the final round, although only Henry T. Snowden of Yale, in the unlimited class, is wrestling in the same division. Robert Dalling of Lehigh, last year's 118-pound winner; Capt. Ben Bishop, 145-pound champion, also from Lehigh, and Ken Mann of Penn, 165-pound king, each is competing in the next heavier division.

You may find him in Tucson, or perhaps he has gone to Fort Bayard, with Hal Chase and a few others who are on the base ball blacklist. In his day, Gandil was a fine first baseman. But he had the poor judg- ment to get mixed up with the Black Sox who threw the 1919 world series and sold out to the gamblers. It was very unfortunate, because Gandil loved to play ball.

By the Associated Press. TATE COLLEGE, Pa., March 18— Syracuse University’s crack leath- er-pushing array, seeking the team title for the second year in succession, had turned the Eastern intercollegiate boxing champlonships into a near-rout today. The Orange-Clad Warriors from up- State New York, had qualified six men for the finals tonight, doubled the num- ber any rival could boast. Army and Western Maryland each qualified three, Penn State, two, and Yale and Massa- chusetts Tech, one each. Dartmouth, | alone of the seven colleges represented, failed to send a man into the cham- plonship rounds. Among Syracuse’s six finalists were two defending title-holders, Al Wer- theimer, clever featherweight, and Joe Moran, belting middleweight, while Penn State also qualified a 1932 cham- plon in the person of Capt.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, March 18.—Michigan's powerful swimming team stood out as a top-heavy favorite to win the Western Conference |team title tonight in the University | of Chicago pool, and a carnival of rec- ord smashing appeared even more | certain. Although Michigan qualified for only |9 places to 10 for Illinois in the trials | last night, the Wolverines appeared | to carry too much sall for any oppo- | sition. Northwestern, always among the | contenders, qualified for eight places, | Minnesota took 6, Iowa, 4; Chicago, 3, ‘and Purdue, 1. | JROB HORN of Northwestern gave the field something to shoot at in swmming the = 200-yard _breast stroke in 2:30.6. His time bettered the | national college record of 2:32.4, set by John Schmieler of Michigan last year, and the Big Ten mark of 2:356 by | Howlett of Northwestern in 1930. Jim Cristy of Michigan bettered the Big Ten record of 5:04 for the 440- yard free style, turning in time of 5:01.4. The former record was made in 1928 by another Wolverine, Dick Ault. Michigan's 300-yard medley relay team of Schmeiler, Lemak and Renner, tied the national collegiate record of 3:03.4. | made by Northwestern in 1929, and bettered the 1930 Northwestern team's i Big Ten record of 3:09.2. THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RI Pennant Chasers—Giants. OS ANGELES, Calif., March 18.— No one knows beiter than Bill Terry and his Glants that they will have the fight of their lives in the National League scramble this season. | In the first place, the Giants have been pretty well tangled up in pennant | tradition for the last 25 years. During | this stretch McGraw has stepped away ‘with 10 pennants, which is still the record, with behind. | Bill Terry also remembers that just |8 year ago the Giants left Los Angeles | with high hopes of & big season. They | looked to be better advanced than | either the Cubs or Pirates, | When the season opened there was an astounding collapse along all fronts. The fast, snappy looking team of late March seemed to be slow and listless after the April opening, and promise in pitching went to seed quickly. | _ There still is another cloud on the | Glant horizon. There are so many | well-matched teams in the National | League this season that it would be | quite a simple matter to slip into the second division and still rank only a short distance back of the leaders. | ~Both the Cubs and Pirates are cer- tain to be in the first division as they are now the two favorite entries. The | Cardinals, with their brilliant pitching | | staff, look to be another first division | certainty. When I saw Max Carey, in Miami, | he was sure that his Brookiyn Dodgers would also be up with the elect. Both the Boston Braves and the | hillies have improved strength and must be reckoned with. This means a hot fight along every front, with few soft spots to build on. Bill Terry's Angle. In spite of all these handicaps, Bill Terry still is hoping for the best. Bill, himself, is a great ball player and a natural leader. He has had his men hustling and his Giants should enter the race in first-class shape. “I am not making any predictions,” he said, “‘n a race of this sort, where &e:e are so many good ball clubs to at. “In one way it gets down to the sameold problem—which js pitching. This is always a gamble, and it has been quite a gamble with us for the last two or three years. “I am not worried in any way about our infield or outfield strength. We have the hitting power that will get its share of runs. If our pitching holds up, as T hope it will, I feel sure that we will be in the picture right along. “It will mean a lot to us, of course, if Jackson can last through most of the season at short. He is a great ball player and a valuable man for any club every way. If his old leg trouble should come back, however, we have a first-class_understudy in young Ryan, who has shown fine promise. You may recall Ryan as a fine foot ball player for Holy Cross. He is an all-around athlete and a natural competitor. “As I said before, our infield with Critz, . Jackson, Ryan and Vergez will hold its own_ with most any of our competitors. We have plenty of speed and punch in our outfleld. and so. once again, all we need is scme steady pitching to give any team a battle.” A Hard Race. “I think you will see more hustling in the National League this season” Terry continued, “than you have seen in many years. “I have never seen a better balanced league to start with. “I understand the Cubs and Pirates have been picked as the two leading contenders, but I do not think in any way they outclass the Giants, Cardinals, Dodgers and, we might add, the Braves and the Phillies. “In a race of this sort you see a large number of es decided by one run. Any team lucky enough to win a lgt of these one-run games will be right up there, and there is always a certain element of luck in one-run or extra-inning victories. “As far as my own pitching stafl goes, Hubbell and Fitzsimmons now ready to go the route. I hope to get at least three more dependable pitchers by the middle of April, but it is a little early yet to say just how this hope will be worked out. “No one, for example, was looking for the big slump that hit and lasted for Connie Mack one flag | | base ball. | hardest fight we have ever had. but | & |Anson Green, Pittsbu |to get away in a hurry and go some- whe'ree', but we didn't, so we are taking nothing for granted this time. “The spirit of the team has been fine and the men have been giving their best. They know how it feels to be buried deep in the second division, and none of us want this to happen again, | 1f hard work and hustling can turn the |k i “Don't you think” I asked Terry. | “that it will be a harder fight to break into the first division of the National League this season than ever before?” “Without any question,” the Gilant manager replied. “As I said before, | there are five clubs that appear to be | good enough to finish the first four, | and at least two others will have a chance with & little run of luck, and you know the part that luck can play in sport of any kind, “Accidents and injurics will upset any team, and there is the break of the game itself to figure on in all clmel contests. “For example, take the case of Pitts- | burgh last Summer. Here was a good pall club leading the league by five or six games. At that time it seemed | that nothing could stop them. Then suddenly without any known reason, their pitching slumped badly, and at the same time three or four of their | best hiiters fell into a slump. | “As a result, what looked to be the best team in the league slumped and | for two or three weeks seemed to be | the worst team in the league. That is “A winning ball team is an organiza- tion that must click together. There are so many elements to figure that no | one can be sure just how the blend will work out until the season opens and you are actually on the fire. “After our experience last Spring we know now that we are in for the it is & fight we are looking forward | to_with keen interest.” | ‘While Bill Terry is a veteran, he still has the physical appearance of & young fellow barely more than break- ing in. He has a keen, attractive | personality, and the respect of his men. He has been the best all-round hitter of the National League for the last two or three years, and this season he s sure to be up there battling for the leadership again. But his own personal side of the batting argument is a small affair to Terry, compared to the big job of lift- | ing his G | ball society. 3 (Copyright, 1933, by North American News- | paper Alliare.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. \HICAGO, March 18.—Recon- ‘ struction of Western Con- ference foot ball teams now is in full swing. With the exception of Chicago, where Clark Shaughnessy, the new coach, will report April 1, all Big Ten members are having some sort of foot ball practice, either out or in doors. Every coach is faced with the task of replacing graduated stars, and most of them could be picked out of any crowd by the worried looks on their faces. At Michigan Harry Kipke is wonder- ing who will succeed Harry Newman as | quarterback and forward pascer. It is | possible that Capt. Stan Fay may be | shifted from halfback to quarter and | the passing jcb assigned to one of the other backs. The champion Wolverines also must find a successor to Capt. Wil- | lamson, & great end, but Willis Ward, the star high jumper, has all the needed | qualifications, URDUE is searching for succes:ors to Horstman, the great fullbac Paul Moss, the Ali-America en and Capt. John Oehler. Noble Kiser i nct very optimistic and Purdue may not |be in ‘@: fore rank next Fall. The | Boilerraftkers have plenty of backs and Fred Hecker may be moved from a half to fullback. But the task of rebuilding the line is a hard one Dick Hanley will break out with s new shift next Fall. T am told, but how to replace “Pug” Rentner is another preblem. Chuck Duval, if eligible, will furnish power at fullback, and a big back named Wally Cruice may wear Rentner’s headgear. Hanley also must find a center, guards and tackles. |~ Onio State’s problems are not so com- plicated. Sam Willaman retains most of the great 1932 line. Ted Rosequist, a fast and gigantic tackle, may be moved to end, which would make Regis Monahan a regular tackle. Mickey Vuchinich, a two-year fullback. is bsing | transferred t5 center. Buzz Wetzel will | play fullback. and Sten Pincura, from Kiski, is slated for quarterback. | INNESOTA'S yearling crop is prom- ising and likely Bernie Bierman will come up with Manders and & pow line. | Ineligibility has struck heavily against the Wisconsin squad and at this time Dr. Clarence Spears is uncertain as to what material he will have when Se tember comes. Illinois is on the way up. but will mics Gil Berry and Pete Yanuskus, & couple of sweet backs. Ossie Solem had grace Z material st Towa last year and will build his 1933 Iowa team from the new material that comes through the scholastic mill. In- diana probably will find nothing to bring the Hoosiers out of the bargain base- | ment department. while Chicago will be an uncertain quantity until after the | 1933 season opens. ——e WILL HOLD SWIM TESTS Shoreham Girls to Decide Team to Make Trip to Richmond. ‘Try-outs will be held tomorrow af- ternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Shore- ham pool by the Shoreham Girls" Swimming Club to determine the team that will represent the organization in its meet next Saturday against the Vire ginia Swimming Club at Richmond.
