Sarazen, Kirkwood Team in Golf Act : Watson Must Shrivel for Title Scrap FANCY BUS MAKES TRAVEL LUXURIOUS Hagen Is Bereft of Partner. Diegel Out of Luck as Rich Man’s Tutor. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, April 22.—That old ‘ golf firm of Walter Hagen and Joe Kirkwood, that has been recurrently ac- tive for more than 10 years and operated in many climes is about to dissolve again. Joe has en- tered into a partnership with Gene Sarazen, the world’s open champion, so Hagen will either go it alone or find a new partner. Sagazen and Kirkwood will travel in style during their five-month tour that starts in Atlanta April 28, and is to be broken only by the major champion- ships and Sarazen’s trip to England for the British Open, the Ryder Cup| matches and a few exhibitions. The stars have secured a luxurious bus that is equipped with regular beds, shower bath and a lounge. It's the wear and tear of traveling that gets the golf professionals on tour. Catching trains_at all hours or siep- ping on the throttle of their high- powered cars in an effort to make a given point in a given time is no pleas- ant pastime, and it is a_wonder they play as well as they do. The Sarazen- Kirkwood expedition will cover most of the United States and halt wherever there is a demand for their services. JIM‘MY THOMPSON, rated as one of the longest drivers in the world, has become professional at the new Lakewood Municipal Golf Club, in Long Beach, Calif. Thompson was stationed | zo Ncdarse and Arturo Randin. and | for several years at Colorado Springs,|they, Morales said, probably will go| but felt the California club offered him greater opportunities. In California, he | will be able to join the Professional Golfers' Association—there being no Rocky Mountain section, of the organ- ization—and consequently _eligible for the professional championship in which he should cut some ice. Leo Diegel has returned to Detroit, his boyhood home, and for the time | being will have no club connection. For several Summers Leo has been the pri- vate instructor to a New York million- aire, but times are tough even for mil- lionaires. Diegel will campaign in all of the Summer tournaments, and with his accustomed amount of skill should earn a good livelihood in competition. | Diegel usually finishes well up in the British and United States Opens, and this year may reach the goal. MAT TOUGHIES MATCHED Ernie Dusek Tackles Raines Finish Bout Thursday. Joe Turner, local wrestling promoter, today booked another finish match for his weekly mat show next Thursday in the Washington Auditorium. Co-fea- tured with the Dick Shikat-Fred Grob- mier exhibition will be a match to a | fall between Ernie Dusek and Dick Raines. | Shikat, who jumped the Curley clique last week, will be making his first ap- pearance at the Auditorium in more than a year. He formerly held the world title, losing it to Jim Londos in 1930. In the lone preliminary scheduled | thus far, Paul Jones, long-legged Texan, | will exhibit with Joe Cox.

Foe Lone Opening and Peppers Him Almost at Wili. By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, April 22.—Prof. Tommy Loughran of Phila- delphia, not quite so spry as he was, still is good enough to give some of the younger fighters fancy boxing lessons. Loughran, nearing his 31st birthday, gave one of his most convincing demonstrations last night in the Chicago Stadium. Isidoro Gastanaga, 24-year-old clouter from Spain, was the other party to the exhibition and re- ceived a trimming in 10 rounds that left no doubt that there is still quite a lot of good in the Loughran boxing machine. For 10 rounds Gastanaga, with his record of 25 one-round knockouts, tried to get close enough to land a real punch. The pest he could do was to come close for a couple of seconds in the ninth 1ound. Outside of that one time, Lough- ran peppered his face with straight lefts, chopped him with right crosses and straightened him out of his crouch with | stiff uppercuts. GAINST the Spaniard’s free-swing- ing style, Loughran’s routine ap- peared to excellent advantage. 1zzy never stopped trying to find a way around or through it, but before the bout was three rounds gone, he was a puzzled and bewildered young man. In the fifth round Loughran drilled his left into Gastanaga's face five times without a return and finished the rally by smashing a short right to the jaw. Gas- tanaga went to his hands and knees, but bounced up without a count. Loughran’s only- bad moment came early in the ninth. Gastanaga crowded | Bim to the ropes and before he could | work nis way out. the Spaniard dropped | a right on his chin. Tommy grabbed | the top rope for an instant, but recov- (cred and went back into his routine. Loughran weighed 185 pounds. Gasta- | naga scaled 189. Hans Birkie, San Francisco German | heavyweight, knocked Otto von Porat of Norway down in the first few seconds | ot the first round of their 10-round s~mifinal, but Otto rallied and fought | his way to gain the decision. !

Watson had just arrived on the Olympic. The English champion is to box Gutierrez’s pride and joy, Kid Chccolate, for the world title in the Garden on May 12. Watson does look big for a feather- weight. His large head heightens the impression that he is too big to be & | natural featherweight. However, the Seaman takes a salty oath that he will do 126 poumds without any ill effects. He scales 134 right now. BY WILBUR WOOD. EW YORK, April 22—“He looks big for a feather- HEN Watson weighed in at 2 o'clock in the afternoon for his affair with Fidel La Barba last Winter the figure was 1277, He didn't seem to be carrying an ounce of extra weight. In truth, he had worked off two and a quarter pounds in three hours to get down to the weight set for that fight, 128 pounds. Still, when he boxed that night the last-minute reduction seemed to have done him nq harm. He grew stronger as the bout progressed. That night the Seaman scored a tri- umph akin to that achieved by Jack (Kid) Berg in his first appearance here, Just as the customers had expected to see Bruce Flowers wipe up the ring with Berg so had they expected La Barba to make a chopping block of Watscn. The Seaman had shaped up dismally in the gymnasium. So when ‘Watson scored over La Barba, coming | from behind after a very rocky start, he made himself solid with the fans, ATSON had ccme over to box Chocolate, but when the Keed was turned back at Key West bz- j cause he had no permit to enter the couniry, La Barba was substituted as the Britisher’s opponent. A Chocolate-Watson match was “hot™ | after the seaman aroused all that en- | thusiasm by beating La Barba. The | bout prebably would have done much better then, in a financial way, than it will on May 12. But it couldn't be made. Fecr one thing., Chocolate was in no hurray to make another effort to get into the country. For ancther thing, the seaman was deter- mined to get back to his wife, his three kiddies and his job as bartender at a Neweastle pub. This time Watson is prepared to re- main fcr five or six months, whether he wins or lises in the brawl with Chocolate. That first trip was merely 2 reconnaiszance.

Wamby was no wondrous hitter, but he was adroit around the mid- way, and especially fast and expert in pivoting on a double play, a trick which eludes even some of the sec- ond sackers who are listed among the great.
