SPORTS. : Tennis Leader Sees Successful Year : Thomson Boosts Center-Shafted Driver FVEN CUP HOPES BRIGHT TO HALL Thinks New Material Ready to Step Into Shoes of Those Turning Pros. This is the second of an ezclu- sive series of stories, written for the Associated Press by sports leaders or executives and discussing the New Year outlook in all principal branches of athletic activity. BY WALTER MERRILL HALL, President United States Lawn Tennis Association. EW YORK, January 2.—As I see it, we have no reason to be other than completely optimistic over the tennis out- look for 1935. The figures show that there is more tennis being played than ever before. Public park, club and private tennis courts have steadily increased in numbers and use. During recent years sales of tennis goods and equipment have expanded rather than declined, as in many other sports, testifying to the wx_dc public appeal of tennis with its| maximum of healthy, stimulating ex- ercise, comparatively moderate ex- | pense and shorter time required of busy people. < Relations of the United States Lawn | Tennis Association with the governing | bodies of other countries have im- proved and strengthened through our policy of closer co-operation with them on important questions affecting the game. Stiffen Amateur Rules. ONSIDERABLE progress has been made in 1934 and will be con- solidated and advanced this year in stiffening amateur standards and eliminating abuses of the amateur| spirit which have crept into the game | in the last decade. Through the eight weeks expense rule adopted by the international federation and in process of being written into our own rules. we will remcve the possibility of amateur players living off the game a substantial part of the year. We have no quarrel with those players who are able and decide to nake tennis their living and profes- sion. but we do insist that they fly the professional flag and not the amateur standard. The commercialization of all sports resulting from increased public interest and willingness to pay o see them play may be regretted by those who think of what they call the “good old days,” but it must be recog- nized that times have changed. The primary concern and interest, however, of the United States Lawn Tennis Association is the further de- velopment and administration of the amateur game in this country, and it is to these ends that we are constantly devoting our efforts. Cup Outlook Not Dark. EGARDING the Davis cup out- look, I am far from pessimistic. Several leading countries have teams and material which are closely matched, thus . insuring splendid, healthy competition in 1935. England is in & strong position as the holding nation, but js by no means unbeatable. Current restlts in Australia confirm this opinion. Even in the 1934 chal- lenge round in London the entire re- sult hung in the balance at critical stages of two very close matches which we ultimately lost, but might well have won. Recent professional inroads have lost the United States no singles play- ers of current Davis Cup caliber. One of our leading players in singles came back in 1934 after a bad previous sea. son to produce some of the finest ten. nis of his career. We have other splendid new material coming along. Our doubles situation should give no real concern despite the loss of our national champions, as we have other teams practically as good, and cer- tainly on the record well able to more than hold their own against the world.

BY TOM HENRY. HERE was an-insistent demand for a showdown between Hyer and Sullivan. They were lead- ers of rival bar room gangs. | Their followers were forever bickering and mixing in rough-and-tumble street fights with fists and knives. Both men were hard drinkers. Both wanted to fight—the “Yankee” for the love of fighting and Hyer for the best ptice he could get. Each man'’s coterie egged him on with stories of what the other had said about him. The chal- lenge came from Sullivan. “About six weeks ago,” read the printed announcement, “I was in a saloon at Park place and Broadway, in a condition rendering me unable to defend myself from attack. While thus incapacitated I was assaulted in a most cowardly manner by a man by the name of Hyer. If I had been worsted in a fair fight by a man who the courage to enter a fair fight like a man, I would haye taken no further notice of this event. “I want to serve notice that T am no Irish braggart, as Hyer says, As for Hyer, I don’t think there is any ques- tion but that I can flax him without exertion.” Sullivan was, in fact, serenely con- fident of his ability to “flax cut” the younger, heavier and faster Hyer. He had learned fighting in a hard school | —first the docks at Cork and later in the ring with the mas.ers of the Bris- tol school in England before his exile to Australia. He knew the tricks of | the trade that had raised Tom Crib | to his world championship, especially how to finish a round by falling at a light blow without being hurt, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1935 S ES Still Pond Creek, in Kent County, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Both men had trained for the fight to the extent of “gradually correcting some indulgent habits.” Sullivan had won the toss of a coin for naming the site of the battle and had selected Pools Island, in Chesa- peake Bay, near Baltimore. -Hyer went directly to the island and waited. Nobody else showed up, for the au- thorities in Baltimore, hearing of the plans, had confiscated the boats which the adherents .of both fighters had chartered to take them to the scene. Then the Eastern Shore site, where local authorities were friendly, was se- lected. It was a bitter cold day. Snow was drifted over the fields and a strong wind blew over Chesapeake Bay. Pine trees were cut down on the spot to make stakes for the ring, and ropes were provided by cutting the halyards off a vessel anchored nearby. In & farm house near the spot, Hyer and Sullivan sat on opposite sides of an open fire, glaring at each other, while the ring was being set up. Heated soapstones were placed in the 20-foot ring, swept clean of sncw, so that the fighters could warm their feet between | rounds. The spectators sat on logs around the ring. 24—Heavier Hyer Stops Sullivan on Eastern Sho.” Hyer Scores Quick Kayo. N ONE corner the wind tossed the | green colors of the Irishman, in | the other the Stars and Stripes of Hyer. The latter weighed in at 185 | pounds, his opponent at 155. A re- porter of the day described the bat- tle as “emphatically a hurricane fight. Never had the ring known such severe | fighting in so little a time.” Hyer knocked out Sullivan in the sixteenth round. They had fought for 17 minutes. The beaten “Yankee” was carried out of the ring unconscious and taken | to a Baltimore hospital where, it was | reported, he ,might die. Hyer and his party started back to New York, but he was arrested and thrown into jail in | Philadelphia on extradition papers | Meet in Maryland. YER had little technique. He was the product of bar room brawls. He fought without sub- | terfuges. Betting ran high on the bat- | tle, for racial antagonisms were botl- | ing over. Riols were feared in New | York. The authorities were deter- mined to prevent the fight, and there | was considerable difficulty in finding {u spot where it would be allowed. The great fight between Hyer and Sullivan took place on January 10, 1849, at Rock Point, at the mouth of | signed by the Governor of Maryland, who wanted him held for a possible murder charge. He was released six days later when the Philadelphia au- thorities learned that Sullivan had been discharged from the hospital and was back in New York. The old “hang-out,” was kept illuminated all night in honor of his victory. The Sawdust House was crowded day and night by Sullivan’s sympathizing ad- ht 1935, by North American Newspaper Allfance.

HUNT IS WEARING TWONET CROWNS Takes U. S. Junior-Singles, Shares:Doubles Title ,“With Mattman, By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, January 2.—Justi- fying his seeding as No. 1 play- er in the tournament, Gilbert Hunt of Washington, D. C., is the new national junior indoor singles tennis champion. The youngster from the Nation's Capital, whose Christmas present from his mother was the wherewithal needed to compete in the twentieth annual event here, took over the crown left undefended by Francis Parker yes- terday when he turned back Alfred L. Jarvis, jr., of Jackley School, Tarry- town, N. J. The scores were 5—7, 6—3, 7—5, 6—4. Hunt, a student of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, then paired with Charies Mattman, jr., of Trinity School to win the doubles title with a 6—3, 6—4, 2—6, 11—9 triumph | over the Northwestern University team of Russell Ball and Donald Leavens. 1s Forced to Rally. UNT was forced to stage a mag- nificent rally to win, but when he was bearing down he out- classed his New Jersey rival in the sin- | gles final. After scoring a string of straight-set triumphs to advance to the final, Hunt say his streak snapped in the first set, which Jarvis took by a 5—17 count. The Washingtonian rallied to win the second with ease, 6 to 3, but in the third Jarvis ran up a 5-to-2 count. Hunt, again bearing down, rallied to win five consecutive games. The final- ists divided the first four games qf the last set, but a double-fault by Jarvis gave Hunt a 3-to-2 lead, and from here on the Washington boy breezed to vic- tory. The national boys’ title was won by Henry H. Daniels, jr., of the Choate | School, who whipped Arthur C. Neil- son, jr., of Winnetka, Ill, in the final | match, 10—12, 6—0, 6—0. | The boys' doubles championship went to Isador Bellis of Philadelphia | and Marvin Kantrowitz of New York, | Fountain House in Park Row, Hyer's | Who defeated the Choate School favor- ites.

Fooling around with golf clubs and ideas the other day Davie, the little Montrose Scot, hit upon a scheme for neutralizing torque in wooden clubs by sticking the shaft right through the head at an angle that carries it directly back of the hitting area. And now, according to Davie, a golf club without torque has been born, the ideal for which all manufacturers have been striving for years. In case you don’t know about it all the new angles, or old angles revamped, which have come into golf club construc- tion over the last half-dozen yearr, have been inaugurated with the idea of eliminating insofar as possible the torque, or the physical force whici |tends to twist the club-head if th~ ball is not struck on the “sweet spot.” And the “sweet spot” on a golf clu» is a strictly limited area which your ordinary duffer hits only once in a blue moon. Flanges, weighted toer, weighted heels, all have come alon~ with the one idea—that of neutraliz- ing the ruinous torque. Even the steel shaft is in a way an outgrowth of the idea of forcing torque back in its proper place. But even at that club designers have known for years that the proper place for a golf club shaft is in th» center of the club-head, which will go further toward neutralizing torquz than anything else. Hitting Them Far, SO DAVIE, with the crudely-mad> wooden club with which he now is experimenting, seems to have hit upon the idea which may at last remove the destructive torque, He | took an old wooden clubhead, bored for a steel shaft, plugged up the shaft hole in the neck of the head and drilled a new hole centered at a 45- degree angle to come through the head directly behind the face in such a position that the shaft lies direc! behind the hitting area. With thi club Davie has hit some astonishing which even he, with the characteristic reticence of the ‘Scot. says have surprised him by their distance and the feel of the ball. “I don’t know whether it's going to | be any good or not,” says Davie, “but Jimmy Norvell and I have hit some balls with this driver that have gone |2 long way.
