(Copyrisht, 1934.) Imagination on Green Costs Houghton Many Wads of Coin HAT is 'the trouble with Al Houghton in the closing rounds of a major golf tournament? Why does the Kenwood Kleagle toss away his chances over the last few holes of the big tournaments? We have been asked that question frequently by | | hole, and when you start missing admirers of the Houghton man, by men who know. that Al is as good & golfer from tee to green as most of the top-notchers. From where we sit it seems that Al Houghton, normally a good putter and a very fine putter in friendly matches, gets himself an armful of putter trouble in the big affairs; that the “trouble,” if there is any, is men- tal, and that Al will not win a big tournament until he begins to take ‘em all in stride and to forget the pot of gold that hangs at the end of 72 holes. In other words, in our opinion (and it is shared by others) 1 hasn't gone far enough along the competitive trall to become calloused to the big dough, and thereby to | forget it to the point where he can shut out the memory of what a missed putt or two may mean. Worries Over Putts. L TOOK 81 in the closing round of the Miami-Biltmore tourna- ment to finish with a total of 308, and win a little more than $60. A card of 73 or 74, which he is perfectly capable of shooting any time he steps out on any golf course, would have earned him a purse away up in the hundreds of dollars. So why the 81? Al is a great player in his home territory, ong_men whom he knows he can lick. But is he as good among the men he has (> STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE by W.R.MSCALLUM HEY call him “Mr. Mayor, and for the mayor of a town like Washington he plays a rattling good game of golf. You could search far and wide among executives of all the cities you could name and you probably wouldn't be able to find one who plays such a good game of golf as that genial, rollicking golfing fellow named George E. Allen, Commissioner of the Diztrict ef Columbia. | ‘There is one fellow who enjoys his golf as few men do. He steps out in a spirit of sheer boyishness to play a game surrounded by tradition and hallowed injunctions againsi conver- sation, busts ‘em all into smithereens and leaves the other fellows laughing when he leaves 'em. | Form is form, even in a tra;a‘, The man whom the; Albert MacKenzie took his shower of sand. Congressional. onto the green. «“1 get three thrills out of this game,” Commissicner Allen says. “Onz when I make a good shot, one when my (p- ponent makes a bad shot and another when my other opponent fluts one. And I cannot play the doggoned game unless I get my dender up. If I get a little mad at my clubs and want to chew ‘em up I enjoy the game and play it a little better.” How like that other prince of geod eportsmen—V. Calvert Dickey of Washington, who has much the same ideas on this hysteria called golf. And our District Commissioner can bang that apple around, too. He plays Burning Tree these days, when such matters as appropriation hearings, board meetings and other affairs will permit him to do so, in a score well down in the low 80s. He has played the course—a par 72 affair—in 75, not i once, but several times. And not long ago before the greens became frozen and snow blanketed the layout he came to the seventeenth hole with two 4s for & 32 on that par 36 back nine. That's golf by any yardstick. But perhaps he was overawed by the possibilities of his score. In any event, he finished with a brace of 6s for a 36, which isn’t bad in itself. A long® hitter from the tee, smiting the ball well over 200 yards with a limber-shafted driver which he ad- mits he has difficulty in controlling, 1,307 to W Allen’s main forte is his putting. He has the utmost confidence in his ability to knock the ball into the hole from any distance, and he usually does it, from anywhere. To him & 4-foot putt is a “gimme” and & 10- footer a fairly easy thing to negoti- ate. He has no mental worrles about the next one if he misses a 20-footer. Such confidénce on the green helps any man to score. But outside of his ability at shot- | making we have seen few men who get more real enjoyment out of a game of golf than Allen, a few years ago a foot ball player at Cumberland Col. lege. He joshes his favorite opponent (Senator Pet Harrison): he tells him the green is fast when it is slow; he warns him of a wind when there isn't any, and Pat shoots it back at him in the same spirit. Between 'em they believes Troy Carmichael of y call “Cowboy” hit this one have themselves a darned good time when they play Burning Tree. Both of 'em are regulars in the Sun- day morning breakfast foursomes, along with Marvin McIntyre, Attorney General Cummings, “Steve” Early and & lot more proponents and up- holders of the New Deal. But there is one league in which Allen admits he is licked. “Those fellows think they can sing,” he says, “when they come in from a round of golf. Maybe it's my lack of esthetic sense. Perhaps I haven't an ear for music, but if Steve Early and Marvin McIntyre can sing, I don't ever want to hear a real artist try it.” — e STREAKS 28 STRIKES Tenpin Bowler of Hannibal, Mo., Believes He Has Record. HANNIBAL, Mo, December 15 (#).—C. J. Murphy believes his 28 con- secutive tenpin strikes in a match with F. O, Hawkins is a bowling record. Murphy won a .five-game series, 1,218. His 28 strikes came second, third and fourth games, he tallied 280, 300 and 254, His were 225 and 4 yet to whip? Our judgment is that Al worries too much about the four- foot putts when a piece of dough hangs on the result, and that he is too prone to let outside factors bother him. His concentration is not good enough under pressure, in other words, and it results in a few missed putts that shoot the score up. Cham- pionships are won 5 feet from the| the wee ones there isn't much hope. He will take an occasional beating from the boys around Washington, but today Al Houghton is the finest golfer among the professional brigade around this town or Baltimore. But put him up in the major leagues and he fails to shoot his true game. Why? We think it is too much imagination, not enough concentra- tion and perhaps a little bit of trying too hard. Houghton is apt to let conversation jar him from his straight-shooting groove. at Washington with Bob Barnett for the usual $5 and $5. Al had gone along even par to the sixth, where he missed a wee one and went 2 down to Bob. Now, Barnett always has been abl: to talk like a Dutch uncle to Houghton and throw him off stride. Al dropped his putter on the seventh tee and the darned thing broke. “Gee,” said Bob, “I'm sorry you broke that putter, Al. I think I could beat you if you kept on putting with that thing.” “That will cost you $5 more from here,” said Al “0. K.,” said Bob. Must Lose Imagination. LITTLE more conversation, a lit- tle more good-natured joshing and Al came home with a 77, a badly beaten golfer. Not that Bob de- liberately set out to get the Houghton goat, for he never does that in, any golf match. But the story simply illustrates why Al isn’t going to win any major golf tournaments until he forgets outside influences and begins to concentrate on getting that ball into the cup to the exclusion of all other | things. Al Houghton is a very fine golfer, a man who should win more than he does win and one who rates a spot among the first two dozen pros in this country. If he could shut out those outside thoughts, forget what a short putt may mean and go on and make em he would win a lot of dough and make his backer—Whitey Price—a lit- tle dividend on the gamble Price took when he offered to back him in golf affairs. Houghton has gone to Nas- sau with the rest of the professional troupers, and he may win a slice of that $5,000 prize money. SHOOT FOR TROPHY.

Foul Is Claimed. e HE combatants were prepared for the onset in a few min- utes after they came upon the stage, and on shaking hands, it was begun by Mendoza with all the heat and impact of a man determined on victory. Humphreys appeared as- tonished and retreated, guarding and catching the blows of his adversary, which were thrown in_ with much alacrity and quickness. Full 15 min- utes did the Jew attack with such apparent superiority that the odds, which were 2 to 1 against him, changed to the like proportion in his favor. Humphreys remained un- daunted, still acting on the defense. It is yet a matter of dispute whether his conduct in the outset was ma- neuver or whether the nouvelle style in which he was attacked, added to the unexepected vigor of his antago- nist, made him give way. . “Early in the battle he was driven into a corner of the stage, where e re- ceived a blow that knocked ~him against the rails and his body was suspending.

EW YORK, December 15.—By the simple expedient of toss- ing a couple of willing fight- ers into the ring every couple of weeks and letting them clean up | the opposition, Madison Square Gar- den boxing officials have come up with a pair of title contenders for | future scraps. They are John Henry Lewis, Negro light - heavyweight from Phoenix, Ariz., and Sammy Fuller, stubby little Boston lightweight. Lewis earned a shot at Bob Olin for the light-heavy- | weight title last night by pounding out a 10-round decision over Tony Shucco of Boston, to gain his second victory in three starts since coming East. He dropped the Bostonian with | a right to the body in the second round and proceeded from there to/ an easy victory. Although outweighed, 1791, to 174, Lewis made it so lop- sided that many of the fans didn't even stay for the finish. Fuller, a little further away from & title shot, outfought Eddie Cool, clever Philadelphian, who also had appeared frequently on the Garden | cards this Fall. to win a somewhat | closer decision in 10 rounds. By his| victory Fuller earned the right to meet Tony Canzoneri December 28, and the plan is to match the winner of that affair against Barney Ross for the lightweight championship.

HICAGO, December 15.—He may not turn out to be an- other Jack Johnson, but Joe Louis, & dynamite - fisted Negro from Detroit, looks to be just what the ailing heavyweight boxing business needs. This dark cloud, with a silver lining in the way of increased public interest in the big division, surmounted the first critical test of his six-month pro- fessional career by scoring a spec- tacular eight-round technical knock- out triumph over Lee Ramage of San Diego, Calif,, in the Chicago Stadium last night. Only 20 years old, weigh- ing 194!; pounds and still growing, Louls socked his way into the front rank of the division by the victory. Ramage, a better-than-ordinary boxer, worked up a slight lead in points during the first seven rounds. Referee Stops It. URING the first minute of the eighth round a left hook jarred Ramage, and before he could tie Louis up again, a right cross to the chin sent him down for & nine- count. He arose and another right floored him for nine. As he struggled to his feet, Louis, again sent his right crashing against Ramage's chin. He managed to regain his feet at “nine,” but before Louis could deliver another right, a towel fluttered from the Californian’s corner and Referee Phil Collins stopped the fight after 2 minutes 15 seconds of the round. Ramage weighed 1833, 11 less than Louis. A crowd of 12,151, paying gross re- ceipts of $26,008.80, Saw Louis’ triumph and remained to watch Teddy Yarosz of Pittsburgh, the new middleweight title holder, punchout a decision over Kid Leonard of East Moline, Ill, in the 10-round co-fea- ture.
