SPORTS HOLE 1S SOUARED IF BALL HITS PIN Problem in Woodmont Tilt, ! Settled“by U. S. G. A, Is Unparalleled Here. BY W. R. McCALLUM. T'S ALL rather involved and Fulton Brylawski sn't satisfied with the | decision, but the United States Golf Association has ruled that| when a caddie is carrying double, with | one bag for each member of opposing sides in a four-ball match, no penalty is invoked if a ball strikes the pin which he is holding. It hapened at Woodmont some time ago, and Rrylawski, who was interest- ed to the extent of a few dollars, wrote the U. S. G. A. for a decision in a, little circumstance which, so far as| we know, hasn't been paralleled in golf around the Capital. | The players employed two caddies | who were carrying double, and it so | happened that each caddy was carry- | ing bags of team opponents. For ex- ample one boy carried bags of A and | C, while another carried the bags of B and D, while A and B were partners | against C and D. The four players | were on the green and the one farthest | away putted, with one of the caddies holding the flag. The putt was a| lengthy one, and it appeared at first | that the ball would be short, so the | caddy did not attempt to lift the pin | until just at the moment the ball | dropped over the lip of the cup. In his frantic haste to get the pin out the boy pulled it quickly. and the ball, catching the flanged edge of the pin, was knocked about 15 feet away from the cup. ‘The question asked was: “Does the | player have to putt the ball from where it was knocked or is the ball | deemed to have holed out?” Rule 32 Is Quoted. HE U. S. G. A. does not answer that question of fact, but it does quote rule 32, which provides that “if a player’s ball strike the flag- | stick which is held by or has been removed by himself, or his partner, or by either of their caddies, his side shall lose the hole; if the player’s ball | strike the flagstick which is held by | or has been removed by an opponent or his caddie the opponent’s side shall lose the hole. “If a player or a caddy holds or| removes the flagstick when a stroke | is being played, such player or caddy | shall be deemed to continue to hold | the flagstick until the ball comes to| Test.” Here is the interpretation of the U. 8. G. A, as explained by Vice President Jackson: “The caddy who was holding the flagstick when it was struck was employed by one of the partners on the player's side and also by one of the partners on the opponent’s side. When the player’s ball struck the flagstick, his side lost the hole under the first part of the | quoted rule, but under the last part | cf the rule the opponent’s side simul- taneously lost the hole. In the opin- ion of the rules of Golf Committee, the two penalties offset each other and the hole must in equity be held to be halved.” Another Question Answered. [ A ND here is a new one, submitted by Ward B. McCarthy of Wash- ington. “What happens,” he asks, “if a pitched ball comes down on the lip of the cup on a soft green, | makes a hole in the green and wedges on the outside rim of the cup in the hole made by itself? The ball is below the level of the cup, but is not actually in the hole? Can it be deemed to have holed out?” In our opinion, it cannot, for the | cup is 4! inches in diameter, and if | the ball is outside the mctal rim, even though below the ground level, it is in a hole more than 4!2 inches in diameter, which is an illegal-sized cup. SCORES HEAVILY IN ROLLERS’ POLL of the Here is another of a series of articles depicting the great fights and fighters of the days when pugi= lism was young. BY TOM HENRY. MERICAN prize fighting got its biggest impetus in 1841. That year a curious figure landed at New York—a cocky little Irishman with “close-cropped, bullet-like head; fierce, glaring gray eyes; square chin, high cheek bones a freckled face and reddish-brown hair. He wore a close-fitting, bottle- green velvet, cutaway coat; tight- legged corduroy breeches, a high-cut vest and a spotted scar{f with a dia- mond cluster stickpin.” ‘The pugilistic fraternity was at the docks to meet him, for this was none other than the redoubtable James Ambrose, alias Jim Brady, alias Gin- ger, alias Yankee Sullivan, returning to the land of his adoption after beat- ing the terrible Hammer Lane, con- tender for the championship of Eng- land. Two years before. he had made his first appearance in America, He was an escaped convict from Australia, where he had been sen- tenced to 14 years penal servitude after being “publicly lashed on the bare back with the cat-'o-nine-tails.” He had been exiled for “felony” in 1827. Fighting or aiding in a prize fight was'a felony in England at the time, if a judge wished to call it such, and it was an easy way to get rid of some of the mediocre Irish fighters of Langan and making life uncom- fortable for the English fighters of the day. Alias is Accepted. N 1839 he came to America, where he was made much of by his compatriots in New York and arrangements were made for his fight with Hammer Lane. He changed his name to Yankee Sulli- the fact that he was an escaped con- | vict and that no real effort was made to hide his identity, the British au- thorities apparently did not try to apprehend him nor to stop the fight. They accepted his alias at its face value. With the second coming of Yankee Sullivan, the United States had a real “champion.” The *“Connemara Ram”"—a name due to his habit of butting with his bulletlike head—be- came the idol of New York's lower strata and the saloon which he opened, the Sawdust House, on Divi- sion street, became the prize fighting headquarters of the country. His first fight in America was Men’s B. Y. P. U. Team Standing. Team W.L. West Washington 3 Brookland .. Metropolitan Kendall 1.. West Washington Metropolitan 1. endall 3.

Despite | 5\ 22—“Yankee Sullivan® Gave Pugilism First Impetus Here. against Vince Hammond, an Eng- lishman, on League ‘Island, 10 miles south of Philadelphia. It was a terrific fight while it lasted, but Ham mond was no match for the “Yankee. ‘Then he whipped Tom Secor in 67 rounds and a boxing professor named Bell in 24 rounds which lasted 88 minutes and furnished some of the fastest fighting yet seen in America. Sullivan’s _victories fanned _the fight fever all over the East. Race feeling was sfrong. ‘The “native Americans” nted the dominance of the Irish. Their “hope” was the sturdy young giant, Tom Hyer, son of the Brooklyn butcher who prob- ably had been the first professional American prize fighter. Hyer was not ready to take on the redoubtable Yankee. He refused to fight except for a stake of $10,000, which Sullivan could not raise. Meanwhile, Hyer got experience from his fight with one of the Saw- dust House gang, James McCleester, alias Country MeClusky, who ap- peared in the ring with Sullivan as Landing on the Hudson, was one of the epic encounters of prize-ring his- tory. McClusky stripped for the ring at 160, Hyer at 176 pounds. It was a grudge fight and both men agreed that all blows or kicks were fair. only stipulation was that the fight be by rounds and that after a knock- down the fallen man have 30 seconds to come back to the scratch. Bitter Fight Begets Friendship. ‘OR 96 rounds they fought even, under a broiling sun. Then McClusky began to weaken. sum\'ap and his other backers urged him to stop. He refused and for six rounds more the furious milling ‘con- tinued. “Let him keep on. I'm going to kill him,” said Hyer as the beaten man staggered to the scratch for the | 100th round. Not until the 101st did McClusky go | down with a broken collar bone, and fail to come back at the call of “time.” The battle had lasted 2 hours and 56 minutes. Thenceforth, Tom Hyer and Country McClusky | | were the closest of friends. The next year prize fighting received a setback which threatened to cut short the careers of both Sullivan and | Hyer. The big fight of the year was | between Chris Lilly and Tom McCoy, held 20 miles up the Hudson for $200 a side and with 1,500 spectators, who set out from New York in six steamers. | It was a desperate fight from the be- ginning. Lilly was a head-butting, rough-and-tumble fighter. He knock- ed McCoy breathless in the forty-ninth round with a head butt in the solar plexus, from which the victim never | recovered. But they fought on. In the 100th round they were observed exchanging insults. In the 112th Lil- 1y’s seconds begged McCoy's backers to take their man out of the ring to save his life. He insisted on staying. They battled on into the 120th round, when Lilly tripped McCoy and, as he went down, shoved his knee into his stom- ach with all his strength. McCoy could not rise. He died a few minutes later. This aroused a great deal of public | sentiment among both the native | Americans and the Irish, whom the | two fighters represented. McCoy, the { Irishman, was by far the more popular | of the two, and it was reported the judges had offered to award him the fight in the seventh round on a foul, | but that he had refused to accept it, although he had bet every cent he had the fight were arrested, among them Yankee Sullivan. He was sentenced | to two years in jail, but was pardoned | on his promise to have nothing more to do with prize-fighting. Myer got off with a reprimand, but both were warned plainly that there would be no such leniency another time. (Copyright. 1934. by North Amerlcan Newspaper Alliance. Inc.) his second.

By the Associated Press. IAMI, Fla, December 31.— Amazing Eleanor Holm Jar- rett, who flouts serious train- ing yet swims away with records, sought another new mark today in the third annual national Olympic stars aquatic meet in the Miami Biltmore Pool. Mrs. Jarrett, with scarcely 10 days of training since she competed in the New York Derby at Jones Beach in August, plunged in yesterday, opening day of the three-day meet, and bet- tered her own world mark in the 150~ yard backstroke. Lenore Kight, the Homestead, Pa., flash; Katherine Rawls, Florida’s great all-around mermaid; Ralph Flanagan, Miami schoolboy champion, and Alice Bridges of Uxbridge, Mass, all of whom set new marks yesterday, also planned record assaults. Mrs. Jarrett swam the 150-yard long course in 52 seconds flat, 14/10 seconds under her standard, estab- lished in 1932 over a short course. She fixed her sights today upon Miss Bridges’ ‘50-yard backstroke record of 3315. En route to the 150-yard record, the Los Angeles mermaid passed the 100-yard mark in the new national time of 1:1045, compared to her for- mer mark for that distance of 1:113. This tandem performance sustained her unusual record of having not only won every race she has entered since the Olympics, but of demolishing the previous record as well.

STRAIGHT OIT YHE YLE by W.R.MECALLUM UMOR piled thick on rumor today as it became generally known, following publication of the announcement by club officers yesterday, that Al Houghton, outstanding professional golfer of ‘Washington, is to leave Kenwood Golf and Country Club. It develops that quite & few of the lads want Hough- ton's job, when the erstwhile Kenwood Kleagle packs up his par-busting tools on February 1 and leaves the spot where he has been the pro since 1930. Among those mentioned for the post already, two months before Houghton is due to leave, are George Diffen- baugh, professional at Indian Spring; Claggett Stevens, assistant pro at the Congressional Country Club, who did a 68 over the Congressional course a few days ago, and Tony Sylvester, the club-making master from Bannock- burn. Others undoubtedly will lay their applications before the board of the Kenwood Club before many days have passed. Meanwhile there was some specula- tion as to the possibilitiy of staging another National Capital open cham- pionship in 1935, on the heels of the passing of Houghton from the club. Houghton has been one of the prime movers in the holding of the tourney | and always has been in charge of the countless detalls of the biggest pro- fessional golf event held about Wash- ington each year. Over the four years of the National Capital open the club has just about broken even in receipts. OUNT up the results of 1934, listen to the locker room laughs and if you can string along with the philosopy of V. Calvert Dickey, you will have had your money’s worth out of golf this year. For Dickey, who took up the game about eight years ago, looks upon golf as health insur- ance, and something which saves him doctor’s bills. “What was your best laugh out of your 1934 golf?” we asked Dickey. “I think my best laugh was last Spring when Johnny Weismuller, you know, the ape-man of the movies, was here,” he said. “Johnny is a fine fellow, you know, and he liked our course. He is a fairly good golfer, too, but I think he over-rates himself a little bit. He and Jimmy Corcoran tried to beat Dr. Buck and myself in a flock of matches. We beat 'em in the first match and Johnny and Jimmy thought it was a mistake. We played egain and we beat 'em and they thought it was a mistake. And we played six times and each time Johnny and Jimmy thought it was a mistake. If we could only keep Johnny around Washington it would be a fine thing for us. “And at the end of the matches, just before Johnny had to leave the city, we were in the shower bath one day after Dr. Buck and I had licked ‘em for the sixth time. Johnny was in a reflective mood and I could see he was thinking about the lickings we had given the boys. “Hey, Dickey,” he said. “If you would only lean over you shots a Jjttle more, you would have ‘em standing in line to play you.” “So what?” we asked. “Well,” said Calvert, “the boys think my form is bad, and probably it is. But somehow, I get pretty good results with that bad form and Johnny meant that if I made it look a little worse I could line 'em up for matches, “Ho hum, I've had a lot of thrills out of 1934. There was the time I was hooked up in a tough match with Dorie Gruver. We were all even playing the ninth in a Nassau match and I holed a curling 30-footer for a deuce to win that nine. And we were all even playing the eighteenth and I managed to get in a downhill 20- footer to win again on the final hole. “Give up golf? I'd simply be putting myself in the hands of the doctors if I did. Isn't it a grand game. And can’t you get some thrills out of it?” BALLADIER RATED THREAT FOR DERBY Chance Sun Also Gains At- tention Among Newest 3-Year-0ids. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, December 31.—All 2-year-old thoroughbreds at midnight tonight become 3« year-olds and potential candi« dates for the 1935 Kentucky Derby— the first big racing stake of the year which brings together the classes of the 3-year-old division. The official birthday of all race horses, January 1, finds two colts in the forefront of speculation as to the Derby result. They are Joseph E. Widener’s Chance Sun, winner of the Belmont Futurity and leading money= winning juvenile, and Col. E. R. Brad- ley’s Balladier, which raced magnifi- cently until he was forced to retire in midseason. Peace Chance Proves Mettle. IDENER’S 1934 Derby entry, Peace Chance, was off to a poor start and lost, but his worth was proved later when he won the Belmont stakes. Peace Chance was Widener’s first Derby entrant in several years. Col. Bradley is a perennial seeker after Derby honors. His horses have won four of them, a record, and Win- ter odds on Balladier indicate the bookies think he has an excellent .|chance to win a fifth, Three fillies are conceded fair chances to duplicate the feat of Re- gret, only horse of her sex to win the Derby. They are Calumet Farm’s Nel= lie Flag, Norman W. Church’s Toro Nancy and C. V.

STARK won his game in the first round of the championship tourna- ment of the Capital City Chess Club from G. L. Tilleary. The latter had first move and played 1 P— QKt4, which is known locally as the “cocked-hat” opening. Stark seemed to be familiar with the opening, which is one of the modern varieties, and won in 24 moves. In the second round Tilleary made the same move, P—QKt4, in answer to Walker’s move, 1 P—Q4.
