PORTS, NG _STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1836, SPORTS * “A—I15 Scott Gains Favor as Rivers Wins : Hagen Steps Out of Open Golf REMA]’B_HIE][]MS Twas a Narrow Squeak for “California Joe” ||IRLD TRIPIN'3] AFTER HOT FIGHT Cowboy Comes Back Gamely After Joe Scores Near K. 0. in Second. BY BURTON HAWKINS. OWBOY HOWARD SCOTT, whose lack of color and ag- gressiveness in previous bouts here has hampered his draw- ing power, now looms as the District's foremost fistic attraction by virtue of his losing but nevertheless highly pleasing 10-round stand against Joe Rivers last night at Turner’s Arena. Scott probably never will be able to tell his grandchildren of the night he ‘won the world lightweight champion- ship, but when the kiddies want to hear an interesting story of the turn- ing point in grandpappy’s clouting| career, the transplanted Texan might | take them on his knee and dust off | the clippings that will tell them of the hectic evening he spent with Rivers. It would ‘be nice, but perhaps a bit stereotyped, to be able to say that Scott crawled off the canvas to trim the Mexican mauler. Scott didn't ad- here to the story-book ending. He, lost to a better fighter, but in so doing he buoyed his prestige considerably. Only One Round Dull, ’AmR starting slowly in the first | round, Howard and Joe warmed | to their noggin-knocking task and pro- | vided ringworms with one of the grandest arguments ever unveiled in this youthful cauliffower sector. For nine rounds the contrasting clouters | stood to-to-toe and exchanged healthy wallops, maintaining a rapid tempo that slackened only when Pat O'Con- nor reached over and tapped the final gong. What with Marty Gallagher and Phil Furr having hit the skids of late, the Cowboy seemingly needed only to lose in order to deplete the ranks of Jocal larrupers and give Matchmaker | Goldie Ahearn a nervous breakdown | in lieu of a perpetual headache. Scott gained more new friends in the half hour he mixed mittens with Rivers, however, than he has made since in- vading this neck of the fistic woods last December. | Obviously, 1t is apparent that only another rematch will satiate the ring | appetite of Washington's caulifiower | colony and Ahearn’s business acumen | was projected toward that end today. | ‘They probably will battle for Seott’s District lightweight title over a 15- round route. | After an even first round that rivaled a sleepy kitten for inactivity, | Rivers launched a blistering body at- tack in the second heat, catching How- ard with a short right under the heart that set the Cowboy up for the knock- down blow that followed. Scott Dropped in Second. SYNCHRONIZING a steamy right with the bell ending the second Tound, the leering Rivers clipped Scott ‘with & damaging punch that dropped the District 135-pound ruler in a lump on the ecanvas. Scott’s manager, Gabe Menendez, rushed into the ring, dragged the inert Cowboy to his cor- ner and feverishly applied restoratives ‘that enabled Scott to wobble out of his corner for the third round. Rivers continued to chop his potent right paw into Howard’s midsection to take the third and fourth rounds, however, and it was not until the fifth frame .that Scott partially solved the Mexican's puzzling style. Sand- wiching overhand rights between left jabs, the rejuvenated Scott staggered :oe as frenzied fans screamed for the ill. The olive-skinned Rivers rallied in the sixth session to hold Scott even in a give-and-take exchange that seemingly was the prelude to a knock- out, but Seott earned a slight margin in the seventh and eighth rounds by offsetting Joe’s telling midsection at- tack with a more devastating assault concentrated on the head of the sleek 8enor Rivers, Landing cleanly to the body while Bcott sought in vain to plunk his fist in a vulnerable spot, Rivers annexed, the last two rounds in a stretch finish' that saw Seott fade with every punch. Eller Votes Draw, REP’ERE! CHARLEY REYNOLDS and Judge Frank Schuyler voted Rivers the winner, while Judge Bob Eller thought the scrap a draw. The Btar’s score sheet showed Rivers win- ning five rounds, Scott three, and two even, with Rivers three points in front. Buddy Scott gave his family an even break on the card by scoring his fifth knockout in six professional fghts. Jake Friedman, former South Atlantic amateur - light-heavyweight champion, was the victim, hitting the floor after a minute and 20 seconds of the second round. Friedman was softened considerably by a stiff right to the chin that dropped him for a eount of nine in the first round. Joey Straiges, clever Camden light- weight, and Ray Ingram, vastly im- proved local belter, fought to a fast six-round draw, while other bouts saw Bobby Dechter take an unpopular split decision verdict over Joey Temes in a lightweight six-rounder and Cy- clone Sammy Williams, proi eolored middleweight, chill Al Johnson of Baltimore in the third round of & four-round encounter. Paying patrons, 1,099 of them, Ppoured $1,264.20 into Joe Turner’s tills. e GROUND GAME URGED' Neilsen Also Holds Foot Ball Should Go Back to Students. That the ground game of foot ball, with its developing running plays, should be emphasized more and tha® the game as a whole should be re- turned to the students is the opinion of Judge Fred Neilsen. of the State Department, Nebraska backfleld star in the early 1900s. Neilsen spoke at the weekly lunch- eon meeting of the Touchdown: Club at the Hotel La Fayette yesterday. Overpublicity not only was over- emphasizing the game, said Neilsen, but may give the player a false stand- ard of his worth. H-WESTERN TILT ON. High Schoql's stadium was the site of its first interhigh ball game in history this after- noon as the Maroon and Gray war- riors of that ‘school played host to ‘Weltern's Red Raiders, starting at 3:30 o'clock. It will be the second game for Western, which encouraged su with an impressive 19-6 of Roosevelt. 7 ~ Cowboy Howard Scott (left), shown here in the third round at the hands of Joe Rivers last night at Turner's Arena, rallied to make it decision which went to the Californian. They’ll meet again. BALSAMO FIGHTS FOR TITLE CHANCE [Win Over Risko Tomorrow Would Make Harry Main Middle Challenger. By the Assoctated Press. EW YORK, October 27.—Harry Balsamo, the “belting brake- man” who has become New York's latest fistic sensation, faces a test tomorrow night which probably will show whether he is as | good as the fans believe. A slugger who fairly lifts the hair off the customers’ heads when he fires a punch, Balsamo tackles Babe Risko of Syracuse, former middle- weight champion, in a 10-round bout at the Hippodrome. After seeing him hammer Eric Seelig around, the experts have de- cided that the punching power the former subway brakeman packs, rates him a shot at Freddie Steele’s middle- weight crown. Now it's up to him to prove it. Challenger If He Wins, KNOCKOUT victory over Risko, who lost the title to Steele, but ‘remained or his feet throughout two meetings with the Seattle boy, would automatically put Balsamo in the po- sition of leading challenger. Risko, though not considered a great middleweight at any time, has shown himself to be a good punch absorber. The only rival who ever stopped him was Jock McAvoy and the Briton had to throw a lot of punches to do it. Risko kept bobbing up and down like an elevator until the bout was halted. In addition, the ex-champion is a pretty good puncher himself, specializ- ing in short but damaging body blows, and if Balsamo doesn’t catch him quickly he’s liable to find plenty trouble. Beats Two Main Rivals. SO FAR, Balsamo's record of 20 fights shows only two really formidmble opponents, Seelig and Paul Pirrone. Both of them were early knockout victims and the consensus is that Balsamo will land another of his sleep-producing wallops before tomor- row’s scrap has gone very many rounds. The bout, incidentally, serves to make the competition between the Hip- podrome and Madison Square Gar- den a bit hotter. It comes just one night before the Garden stages the 15- round Izzy Jannazzo-Ceferino Garcia scrap, which also has a direct bearing on a title situation. The winner is booked to meet Barney Ross, the welterweight champion. To encourage liveliness, the Garden has posted s special $500 bonus for the one who can win by a knockout.

Two District employes—good golfers both—stepped out yesterday in the rain and wet and shot scores of 78, seven shots above par, but plenty good in the oozy going. And if George Allen isn't right in the groove today he won't do anything like that. He has shot a 72 at Burning Tree back in the days of Summer, but Indian Spring is soft today and he’ll need all the power in the 15-ounce driver he wields so well. The two leaders are Volney Burnett of No. 3 engine, the best golfer in the Fire Department, and Byrne Cur- tiss of Highways. Burnett, the Indian Spring club champion, and Curtiss, & southpaw, who used to play at Indian Spring himself, both shot scores of 78 on a day when scoring was plenty tough. They were five shots better than the third-place 83 registered by Alvin Brooke, the long hitter. Eddie Brooke, Alvin's brother, was to play with Commissioner Allen today. UT at Chevy Chase, where the Siamese Cup tourney is nearing its end, Dallas McGrew has reached the final round, where he awaits the | outcome of the semi-final match be- tween Page Hufty, the club champion, and Dr. W. H. Jenkins. McGrew has won a big tourney at Chevy Chase already this Fall and if he wins the Siamese Cup he will have done some- thing few men have done—repeat in one of the major tournaments on the club schedule. Mrs. Landra B. Platt is out in front in the women's ringer tourney at Chevy Chase with a score of 66 over the season. This score happens to be three shots under the men's par of 69. Mrs. Y. E. Booker and Mrs. Harrison Brand are tied for second place with 67, while Mrs. Bishop Hill is fourth with 69. = WALPER, Washington repre- sentative in the P. G. A. tourney, plans to shake the dust of the Capi- tal from his big brogans around No- vember 10 and shove off with the missus for the South, traveling by trailer. His first stop will be at Pinehurst, N. C., where, on November 10, he will be in with a flock of other good golf- ers trying to qualify among the 64 men who will start at match play for the P. G. A, title now held by John Revolta of Milwaukee. Walper will play through the entire Winter cir- cuit, along with Wiffy Cox. Roland MacKenzie and Bob Barnett, other local pros who will go South during the coming Winter, ‘will play only in the Florida affairs, ajthough Mac- Kenzie may take in the Augusta open late in November. MacKenzie's Winter berth is at Ponte Vedra, near Jacksonville, while Barnett again will reign over the pro shop at the swanky Indian Creek Club at Miami Beach. MOUNTS WOULD PLAY.

Temporary use of Winter rules by | the local clubs is a measure designed to save the fairways at a time when the grass is sparse and scanty and when a rolling ball finds bad lies. At the same time these rules help the rugged duffer who keeps on playing during cold weather. Several of the local clubs, among them Columbia and Washington, make Winter rules effective all over their golf courses, except hazards, permit- | ting teeing of the ball in the rough as well as the fairway. It avoids argument, for in the Winter it is tough enough to see where the fair- way ends and the rough begins. Other clubs permit teeing the ball only in the fairways. It's all for the best, because if the ball were played where it lies during the Winter, when courses are soft and pock-marked, no man would get much pleasure digging the apple out of a hole every time he had a fairway shot. But they don't do it in Eng- land and Scotland, no matter how bad the fairways become. Dave Thomson, Washington Golf and Country Club pro, says they are far behind this country in that re- gard, “They won't let you touch the ball at any time. They'd do much bet- ter to adopt our system in the Win- ter time, for they get some pretty bad lies in the fairways.” Manager Ed Burns plans to have s block of strutting turkeys parad- ing around the Rock Creek Park club house around November 322, when the turkey tourney, last of the 1936 affairs at the uptown park, is slated to end. ‘Winners in all flights will get Thanksgiving birds. Volney Burnett won the tourney last year. A qualifying round will be held November 9 and 10, with the first round to be finished November 18; the second round to wind up Novem- ber 16, the third round to finish No- vember 19 and the final round to be completed by November 22. A special flight will be held for the women golfers, and there will be enough flights to take care of all en- trants. | butld-up. He started the barnstorming | was the man to beat for the open | Colorful Star Is Biggest Figure in "Money Game in Last 23 Years. BY W. R. McCALLUM. OR the first time since 1913 Walter Hagen will be missing from the national open goif championship next year—and by choice. Hagen, with Joe Kirkwood, will be on a world golf tour at the time of the next open tourney at Oakland Hills, Detroit, on June 10, 11 and 12, For 23 years Walter Hagen has been the biggest figure in professional golf. Win or lose, Hagen always has put on a good show, since the dav he started wisecracking at the open championship of 1913 at Brookline (the one Ouimet won), and then stepped out and made good his eockyl words by grabbing the title at Mid- lothian in 1914. Since that time, Walter has hit | & lot of golf shots, and in the hitting of them has won two American open championships, four British open titles | and all of the minor affairs there were to win. He has picked up over $1,000,000 and today, at the age of 44, he is preparing for a world barn- storming tour. Got Pros Social Status, THZ man’s adventures read like a fairy tale, and an incredible one at that. Before Hagen’s advent into the winning circles of golf, the pros were country cousins of the amateurs. Denied club house privileges, looked upon as servants, they got in through the back door in our swanky golf clubs, even in the Democratic United States. In England they made no bones about the social standing of the professional golfer. He was a servant— literally—and had little social stand- ing. Hagen changed all that. He in-| sisted that the professional golfer | was & craftsman, on the same social plane as amateurs; should be given club house privileges and should ke | taken in anywhere the amateurs went. | And he made it stick. They couldn't | insult Hagen. He wouldn't take it.| Down in Pasadena, Fla., they paid him $30,000 a year to head a golf club development in the boom days. He took $105,000 out of the St. Petersburg area merely for heading the club, which is a high in professional golf | racket among the golf pros and he made hundreds of thousands of dol- lars out of it. Matches between Hagen and Bobby Jones were the biggest matches in the game. Free With His Money. AND now Hagen has decided, for the | first time since the cocky kid came out of Rochester and announced he | championship, to pass up the national | open of 1937. They'll miss him out there at Detroit next June. He hasn't always been a winner or even a front- runner, but he has been the biggest man in the professional end of the | game, even before some of the top- liners of today were thumping away at a milking bottle. Just to give you an idea of the way FROM THE PRESS BOX Bloodthirsty Balsamo- Talks- Mean Fight; Then Knocks His Middleweight Foe Cold. BY JOHN LARDNER. EW YORK, October 27,—At the last fight involving Harry Bal- samo, leading pretender to the middlewejght throne of Fred- die Steele, your correspondent was startled to hear Mr. Balsamo address- ing his second in this wise, just be- fore the bell rang to start the slaugh- ter “Why, I'll nock him kicking. Why, I'll beat his brains out. Just lemme at that guy. Lemme at him. Il beat his brains out. Lemme at him.” These remarks were delivered in a low monotone, without much em- phasis, but they had a sinister ring. And when the gong clanged Balsamo leaped from his chair and tore at his opponent, Herr Eric Seelig, with both hands. Before the round was over Herr Seelig was down and out to stay. I don't know whether Balsamo’s low- pitched threats of violence were part of an act the young man has studied and rehearsed, but they sounded au- thentic. They reminded you of the whining, whimpering noise that comes from the throat of a Iound dog when he strains at a bird or a rabbit just out of his reach. Seems Thirsty for Blood. BALSAMO. before a fgnt, $ways seems thirsty for blood and al- ways unable to wait till he gets it. This is not what you would call a very desirable social trait, but it explains why Balsamo is the most popular and valuable middleweight fighter now transacting business in this part of | the country. Tomorrow night, in Mike Jacob's red plush hippodrome, he fights Babe Risko, & former title holder. If he licks Risko—particlularly if he stops him—the present champion, Freddie Steele, will have no legitimate excuse for avoiding a fight with him. That, at least, is Balsamo’s line of reason- ing, and it also is Mike Jacobs'. Uncle Mike would like nothing better than to stage a title scrap between Balsamo and Steele this Winter. Balsamo used to be a subway brake- man. not a very impressive figure. He looks pale and thin, and the complexion of his face, below his tuft of pompa- doured hair, is sallow. But when he strips down to fighting clothes, you see that his lean arms are nothing but muscle, that his shoulders slope from his neck in a line that spells power, that his legs are tough and sturdy. And when you hear him talk You become convinced that Jack Dempsey was lucky he retired as soon as he did. “Listen,” says Balsamo, “there ain't a fighter living that can punch with me. I ain't seen 'em all, but I know about this Louis, and they say he’s the best, and the only thing he's got on me is weight. I'll get to fight him. I'll spot him a few pounds and slug right with him. Bay, I got power. Feel that bissep. Punch me in the back—yeah, right there. What do you think of it?” He Had No Defense. N HIS subway days Balsamo used t6 get into fights all the time, and he usually ended them with a punch. A punch is an asset, but his managers, Maybe some. day | | Fights Last Night the man spends money when he has it, he picked up around $35,000 back in 1927 in a British-European tour. He and Bob Harlow (his manager) did their traveling over the continent by airplane. ‘With this amount of dough in their jeans you might think Walter could have salted a little of it away. But he had to borrow 10 bucks from a pal at | the dock in New York to tip the deck steward. - That's the way he is. He's made 8| million or more, but he’s always busted for cash. But no man, certainly no golf pro, has lived better than Walter Hagen. CARDS SIGN WARNEKE Hurler Gets One-Year Contract, Says Arm Is 0. K. ST.

They failed to see how the young man could get by in the pro ranks with nothing but a couple of iron dukes and an appetite for homicide. So they taught him a few boxing tricks, and today, in the gymnasium, Balsamo can show you what a left jab is, and what a feint is, and how to use your feet. In the ring he tosses this knowledge away as so much waste culture and reverts to the subway era. He stands and slugs until something gives. “Braking them subway cars and handling a pick and hammer builds up your muscle,” admits Harry, “but I didn't need much building. H—I, 1 could always fight.

MAJOR classic also is scheduled for this city Saturday, when the mighty Duke team is to display its wares against Washington and Lee. The Blue Devils won handily from the Generals here last year, and Coach Tex Tilson's outfit appears little stronger this season.
