S PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1935. SPORTS A—15 Pacific Isles U. S. Golfers’ Paradise : Congressional Tough for Collegians SARAZEN ADVISES PROS T0“GOWEST” Sees Profit in Visits to] Australia Instead of " European Tours. Gene Sarazen. r By the Associated Press. OS ANGELES, January 8.— Horace Greeley was no golfer, but Gene Sarazen thinks the editor had the right idea when he advisad young men to “go West.” The stout-hearted professional thinks he and his fellow pros will have to look to Hawaii, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the < Fiji Islands and other bright spots in the Pacific, rather than to Europe, as they seek new worlds to conquer. “Pr o fessionals from the United States have spert thousands of dol- lars in trips to Europe without bringing any of it back,” said Gene. “Hagen has spent more than $50,000 and I have gone into the old pocketbook for more than $20.000 in trips to Europe without a chance to break even. It's different when you book passage on the Pacific instead of the Atlantic. True, it's a longer voyage, but there’s more cash at the end.” Get Great Reception. ° SIX-MAN team from the Pro- fessional Golfers’ Association of America and several other stars, | including Sarazan, traveling without portfolio, have returned from a highly successful tour of Australasia. “We were received with tremen- dous enthusiasm,” said Gene. “In spite of the fact that golf is a Win- ter game down there and many of the courses are closed in Summer, great crowds turned out and showed keen appreciation of the visitors’ ef- forts. “Not next year, and maybe not the year after, but soon, the golfing cara- van from California will move on to Honolulu for a great tournament and then tour a half dozen countries, in- cluding Japan.” “It's a queer game,” Gene con- tinued. | “Take Thomson's experience in the centenary open at Melbourne. Cheap Putter Big Winner. « §IM was using a center shafted putter, which you know is barred | under the rules of the Royal and Ancient, and of course competition| in Australia is under British regula- tions. “He was a bit put out, when he found he couldn’t use his pet putter, but he went to a department store | and bought a legal one for $1.25. It's| a matter of record that all he did with | this cheap putter was win the best money event of them all.” Fights Last Night By the Associated Press. NEWARK. N.

LOUISVILLE, Ky—Max Elling, & | George Lott, and Lester Stoefen and Latest Joe Rivers, Burl Foe Tonight, Recalls Hot Boxer To First Wear This “Handle” BY ‘JIM BERRYMAN. ITH a pint-size Mexican V v ing at the auditorium to- night, it is rather timely; there have been so many boys from across the Rio Grande fighting under jumping bean main-bout- to go into the subject of “how come” the name of Joe Rivers. JOE_RIVERS S From Maj. Heinie Miller's personal memoirs, a few interesting facts anent the swarthy-skinned sluggers have been donated. Needless to say the monicker, Joe Rivers, is a ring “han- dle” of the rankest variety. However, it has a very understandable origin. It dates back some years to the origi- nal Joe Rivers, whose real name was Jose Ybarra (pronounced Hose-ay E-borrah). But when this lad really started clocking everything in sight it was early and fortunatcly decided | to change that Spanish tongue-twister | into the nearest American. The original Joe was a terrific clouter with a deadly right cross—he went up fast, leaving a trail of vic- tims who thought they had been caught in one of Senor Villa's raids. But his encounter with Ad Wolgast put the skids under Rivers’ bid for the lightweight title. Many fans still claim the Mexican was handed a raw deal in that famous battle. Jack Welsh, who refereed the bout, said that Wolgast went down from a low right hook to the groin. As he fell his knee struck Rivers in the groin. Both were on the canvas claiming foul. Welsh lifted Wolgast to his feet with one hand and counted Joe out with the other. But he had another shot at the title against Willie Ritchie in San Fran- cisco. Joe uncorked that famous right and his opponent went reeling to the ropes, but Ritchie weathered the storm and kayoed Rivers on the next pund. The Mexican's greatest weakness was a marked tendency to crack up if the opposition failed to hear the birdies sing after he landed his special dream- producer—that right cross. Perhaps a diet of chili packs power into the punch—at any rate most of the lads from sombrero land have been known for their wallops. This original ; Joe Rivers certainly had it—he had it to the extent that quite a few am- bitious Mexicans chose that name to help convince the customers of their muscular lightning bolts. | The latest namesake to appear on | the scene is Young Joe Rivers, and he proved, at Le Roy Dougan’s expense, that he had something more than mo- tions when he let one go. ‘What he will do against Eddie Burl's | windmill attack tonight remains to be seen. If the latter really is ailing, be- | ing in the ring against Young Joe is not exactly spending the evening in a healing ward. TERP, EAGLE FIVES IN TILTS TONIGHT Former Entertains V. M.

Fights Elsewhere. “The agreements we have with Baer, Schmeling and Lasky are good all over the world,” roared Johnston. “They’ll have to do & lot of fighting in the courts before they can go into the ring. I'll get my lawyers.” Joe Louls, the sensational De- troit Negro heavyweight, who along with Hamas, Lasky, Primo Carnera and Max Schmeling, are being sought by Lewis and Mullen for exhibition bouts, is acknowledged by Johnston as having plenty on the ball. That’s the only thing he and the invading promoters agree on.

Top Row's world record for a mile and sixteenth, set | iat, exactly 24 seconds to the quartey, | or six seconds to the sixteenth. The world ‘record for a mile and | & quarter, two minutes flat, shared jointly by the American horse, Whisk- | 4 broom, 2d, and two English horses, also is at this “normal rate.” Mile and 70 Time “Slow.” HE world record, which is rather | slow compared to these timings, ' is Mike Hall's mark of 1:4035 for a mile and 70 yards. The record for this distance would be 1:3945 at the “normal rate.” | Since races for a mile and 70 yards are frequently run, a thorcughhred; the record, particularly in view of | the faster tracks now in vogue in | America. The record for a mile and an eighth, 1:4825 held jointly by Blessed Event and Hot Toddy, is two-fifths slower than ‘“normal” The mark for a mile and three-sixteenths, 1:55, held by A. G. Vanderbilt's Discovery, is one second slower than “normal.” The latter distance, however, is not often raced, and Discovery’s mark may stand for some time. Ekky’s Record Fine. T THE rate of 24 seconds to & quarter, the time for a mile would be 1:36, but Equipoise’s record for this distance is much faster, 1:3425. A mile race is much different from those at longer dis- tances, in which horses must be rated more carefully. Aside from a lightning-fast track, other factors necessary for record- breaking performance are that the horse be in absolute top form and that he have burning competition. The natural tendency is for a jockey to ease a horse up if he is far in the lead, but this cannot be done if the horses behind are pressing him. CHESS LEA[.)ERS SCORE MEXICO, D. F., January 8 (#).— Four decisions were recorded in the seventh round of the international chess masters’ tournament, the win- ners being Capt. J. J. Araiza of this city, Reuben Fine of New York and Arthur W. Dake of Portland, Oreg. Orlando Duhalt withdrew from the competition, and his six games were canceled.

Vardon, Taylor, Hagen, Jones, Ar- mour, Jim Barnes and Mac Smith know what this means. There comes a time when even the greatest golfer suddenly realizes a 4 or 5 foot putt can be missed at any time. But the old master {rom Rochester still is there with the pack—up around the front—frequently with two hours’ sleep and a cup of coffee before he starts a 36-hole march. The foundation of all this success, under conditions that would wreck another golfer, is Hagen’s uncanny ability to keep relaxed. He lets noth- ing worry him, bother him, make him tighten up. “Golf,” he said to me, “is largely a matter of keeping relaxed—a matter of smoothness—of flowing muscles—not jumpy muscles. And most of this must start in the mind. “You swing as you think. A dande- lion target proves that. So, why not start thinking a little about thinking & little more—along the right lines?” ‘Why not?

UMBLY, but with promise of plenty of flying leather, a new year in local boxing will open tonight at the Wash- ington Auditorium with California Joe Rivers opposing Eddie Burl of vacksonville, Fla., in a scheduled 10- round featherweight battle. « Called off Sunday when Burl suf- fered a cut nose in a sparring session, the main bout was put on again yesterday when the District Boxing Commission ordered Burl to appear for an examination, and okayed him as fit and ready. The cut was not as serious as first believed. Rivers, a hard-hitting Mexican addition to Washington’s ring colony, was installed & 7-to-5 favorite by the wagering fraternity today and prob- ably will enter the ring a favorite at those odds, or better. Burl, a con- firmed in-an-outer, recently dropped a decision to Norment Quarles in Norfolk. The defeat was far from an aid in boosting the Jacksonville battler’s stock. Kayo Appears Likely. OOKING no farther back than the Quarles fight, Rivers should win in handy fashion, perhaps by & knockout. In his only start here, California Joe handed Le Roy Dougan such a pasting that the res- eree mercifully stopped the slaughter in the fifth round. And in the past there has been little difference in class | between Dougan and Burl. Going beyond the Quarles affair, Burl appears a little more formidable, He upset Pete De Grasse in 10 thrill- ing rounds, dropping the clever French-Indian, during the process, and before that he licked Carl Guggino and Dominick Nicco, if they be any- thing to Burl's credit. Petey Sarron, like De Grasse, is another highly rated fighter to !ose to Burl, but Eddie turned that trick a couple of years ago. There is little danger, if any, of Burl losing via a technical kayo, because of his sore schnozzle, he was assured yesterday at the commission offices by Dr. Don Knowlton, conducting the examination. The cut proved to be a minor one. Burl, upon hearing the vercict, readily agreed to go through with the scrap. Semi-Wind-up Attracts. .J)ECAUSE there is some talk of matching the winner with Phil- bert Furr, District welter champ, tonight’s scheduled eight-round semi- | wind-up between Bob Lowry of Wash- ington and Jimmy Jones, Baltimore | tain Virginia Military at 8 o'clock in | (A0C€ races average 24 seconds 0 8| welterweight, is attracting some in- terest. « Lowry is a former stablemate of | recently at Bay Meadows, was 1:42 | Purr, heretofore content with more or less subdued ambitions. Since Phil- bert “jumped” the Harry Groves’ sta- ble (in which Lowry occuples a stall), Bob suddenly has been seized with a esire to attain the mighty goal of welterweight champion of this baili- wick. Jones is a two-fisted sort of a guy who should whip Lowry if Bob makes any mistakes. In other preliminaries, Henry Irv- ing, local middleweight, will box Mickey Flannigan of Pittsburgh in a bout scheduled to go five rounds; Sammy Julian, lightweight fighting out of Washington, will meet Tommy Hoover of Baltimore in & scheduled four-rounder, and Sammy Sweet will mix with Joe Transperenti of Balti- more in another four-rounder. Action will begin at 8:30 o'clock. o VIRGINIA ALUMNI MEET Will Name Delegates on Plans to Solve Athletic Problems.

J, January 8—A somewhat heavier Tony Can- zoneri, still packing plenty of speed, set out today to purich his way through the weiterweight ranks to a title bout with Jimmy McLarnin.

BY PERRY MILLER. \WELVE States, including Ala- bama, Arizona, Florida, Geor- gla, Idaho, Illinols, Maryland, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vir- ginia, will close their season on wild- fowl shooting this week end, marking the end of the worst duck-hunting season on record. There were isolated cases when a party of nimrods got their daily bag limit, but the large majority of times the hunters were sadly disappointed. Asked during the Christmas holi- days about all the ducks usually seen on the Potomac River, below Wash- ington, one well-known local hunter, | a member of one of the exclusive clubs | just below Mount Vernon, said he sat in a blind all day and shot only | | three ducks, and that these were not | of the more highly prized species. | Many on Eastern Shore, N THE other hand ducks and | geese were reported very plen- | tiful on the Eastern Shore, back | of Barren Island. Two Washington | hunters, Harry Black and Billy Nish- witz, sald on a yecent visit to these grounds they never had seen so many ducks and that they shot their bag limit before 9 o'clock in the morning. Others who usually cater to the wants of the hunters would not erect a blind this past season, which is | to be commended. | As usual, conflicting reports come in from all sections of the country. One report states there is no evi- dence of a shortage of black ducks, | mallards and pintails. Following the closing of the duck | | season next Sunday—yes, Sunday is | correct, for in several of the States | | duck shooting was restricted to Sat- | | urdays and Sundays—the Biological | Survey will receive its final reports and make its decision regarding what is best to be done next Fall for the wild fowl. Closing Season Poor Idea. O CLOSE the season completely probably is the worse thing that could be done, one authority states. It would give the illegal shooter and market hunter a clear field, it is pointed out. Revenue from the sale of duck stamps will, of course, cease if the shooting is closely com- pletely, and the sale of State hunt- ing licenses will fall off. Then there is the matter of the unemployment situation, as thousands of employes of duck clubs and others wilo cater to the nimrods would be thrown out of work. “If any species is threatened with extermination, prohibit the shooting | of that species—not all species,” says | Capt. Paul"A. Curtis of New York, | & well-known authority on wild life. this subject, the Biological Survey, {of which J. J. “Ding” Darling is | chief, will tell the duck shooters just | | what’s what. From our interviewers | | with Darling, we think he is loath | to close the duck shooting season and | expects great things from the newly | acquired breeding grounds. et 281 GETS ARMOUR <500 COLF AWARD By the Assoclated Press.

He was something more than the winner of three American League pennants for Detroit in 1907, 1908 and 1909. He also was the most colorful coach that ever stood on the & bite of grass and then sending his ear-splitting “EE-Yah” battle call across the field.

F THE national intercollegiate golf champlonship comes to the Con- gressional Country Club at the close of the college term mnext June, as now seems likely, the rahe rah boys who confine their links con= versation to lengthy wallops from the tee and unerring second shots will find themselves a golf course that will take a lot of hefty hitting to get anywhere with respect to the par of the layout. Joe Lynch, the rotund Boston lad | from Georgetown University, is pull= | ing wires to bring the championship | to Congressional this year, and since | Joe has a lot to say on intercollegiate | Bolf affairs, besides being one of the | better players in any college in the | land, it is more than likely the tourna- | ment will come here, particularly as the folks at Congressional are willing | to have fit. They Are Future Champs. LL of which means that the Na- tional Capital is going to see & flock of the kids from which our national champions of future years will come, with more than a good pos= sibility that W. Lawson Little, jr., the puckish-faced Stanford entry, who holds the American and British amae teur championships, may find it cone venient to slip down to Washington and try to gather in another mational title. Obviously Lawson will find no soft spot in the intercollegiates if he comes here to make a bid for the title, for if there is one lad who wants a crack at Brother Little it is the reigne ing intercollegiate champion, lean, lanky Charlie Yates of Atlanta, the lad who prays 'em in on the putting green. Charlie almost had his chance in the national amateur last Septem- ber, after a few remarks about what he wanted to do to Little, but Willie Turnesa licked Yates and then fell be= fore Little. Such boys as Charlie Kocsis and lanky John Fischer of the University of Michigan, members of one of the stronger golf teams among the col- leges of the country; Joe Lynch of Georgetown and Bobby Jones of De- troit will have something to say about that intercollegiate championship. But the main feature of the affair will be the wide-open slugging that is due to come off when the tourney opens For if there is one golf course anywhere in the land which invites mighty mauling from the tee, and which pays heavily in dividends for the soporific sock, it is Congressional. | at_Congressional. Par 5s Are Birdie Holes. HERE are three par 5 holes out there on that golf course which are mince pie for the big boys ! who hit 'em a mile—birdie holes they call 'em—where any lad who can lay two wooden shots in the groove can get the ball somewhere up around the green with a chip and a putt to gather in the birdie. These are the fifth, eighth and thirteenth, and all of 'em are fairly wide open from the tee. But in addition there are other | holes that pay off mightily on the | sock, which the rah-rah boys have in full measure. Congressional is no | tightly trapped course (from the tee), | where even the longest hitters have to pull in their horns to keep from con- sant trouble. On some of those holes | you can spray the landscape with | golf balls and still have a reasonable shot at the green, provided you hit the tee shot far enough. It isn't so these days of Midwinter, but it will be in June, when the ball will carry and | roll 100 yards farther than it does now. Congressional is a fine test of golf, one of the best to be found anywhere, | but it is fitted particularly for the lengthy hitters. That coming inter- collegiate title tourney should supply some thrills even to the most jaded lover of the sock from the tee, {TWO FOR MOUNT RAINIER Boys Get Even With St. John's.
