SFORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, NDAY MAY 1937, SPORTS. A—17 Rising D. C. Ringman Packs Color : Twin Greens Newest Golf Idea GEVINSONISRATED | TOPDRAWINGCARD New Boxing Pro Likely to Lure More Fans Than Featured Fighters. BY BURTON HAWKINS. AUGED strictly by his profes- sional performances to date, Lou Gevinson perhaps does not warrant a spot on the police benefit boxing card Wednes- day night, yet, fantastic as it may sound, the sharp-faced Jewish lad who has fought only four pro scraps doubtless will lure more ringworms to Griffith Stadium than any of the nine other featured fighters. Having served a stretch of five vears in amateur ranks, Gevinson somewhere along the route to pro- fessionalism picked up that highly valuable sports commodity known as color. Not the burlesque type of color manufactured by Max Baer or Dizzy Dean, but a blend of native ability, sportsmanship, modesty and sense of decency chiefly is the reason for Lou's crowd appeal. Lou's cardinal virtue, it seems, is the fact that he never has made an unsportsmanlike gesture in the ring. The fans, many of whom have seen him develop since his first fights as &n amateur, apparently like it, plus, of course, the expectant thrill of a knockout which Gevinson's fists pro- duce so often. Lou's Record Unimpressive. THE colony of Gevinson supporters are convinced he eventually will make the grade in 126-pound ranks, fgnoring his rather feeble pro record thus far and concentrating on his punching prowess, which, they argue, is bound to find the range with more effectiveness with a bit more experi- ence among the paid clan The 22-year-old Gevin Al Schaefer and Beny Wittler in his first two professional engagements, but Stepinfechit would have been a n chilled 6-5 favorite to do the same thing.|and if the opponent missed, he'd hit | ringworm Joeut there again, Lou then gave the Temes a severe shellacking in his | first actual test of prestige served as & shot of strych- nine to his boos was on his way. next opponent, Johnny Pena, that the istrict Boxing Commission received 22 letters urging the bout be banned because of Johnny's alleged punch- drunkenness and general fistic inef- ficiency. At least 22 persons made a mistake, however, for the accused Mr. Pena immediately vindicated himself by capturing a 10-round decision from our Lou. Lou's reputation didn't suffer. army of followers, who doubted his Rbility to take it, now were convinced he could absorb punishment as well as inflict it. On the other side of the ledger, detected a flaw in Lou's fighting form His and employed it as a method of trim- | ming Gevinson. Lou’s Infighting Spotty. N OTHER words, Gevinson effec- tively illustrated his lack of knowl- edg on Infighting. Will he try to patch that hole in his fistic armor or will he try to carry on without per- fecting that phase of his ring equipe ment? Some great fighters have been mble to, but is Lou that good? Gevinson will give the Bgainst Pena in a return match, one of five 10-round bouts on the police benefit card. He may have been trained for infighting in these last few weeks, but many fighters revert to their natural style when the battling wbecomes torrid. In the final analysis it probably still will be Lou's deadly punching against Johnny’s infizhting, and the outcome may give some definite clue as to just where, if any place, Gevinson is head- ed in the slippery game of sock and be socked. Other 10-round bouts will witness »Cowboy Howard Scott facing Norment Quarles, Ossie Stewart meeting Tom Chester, Bob Tow colliding with Sandy McDonald and Ray Ingram trading blows with Joey Archibald. An open- ing four-rounder will find George Abrams mixing with Sam Bracala. Major Leaders By the Assoctated Press. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Baiting—Lary. Indians. .39 368 Walker.

They have all the strokes, a more varied assort- ment than old Connie ever had, but they don’t know how to use 'em. “Gosh, you could almost follow Connie's line of reasoning from one stroke to the next.

'ONNIE not only used to plan his battle days, and sometimes just the night before, but also while warm- ing up with his opponent. “I wonder if warm-up rallies mean the same thing to the player today that they did to him 20 years ago?

SPEAKING of Connie moves us to say that if there were any two busier men on Washington's courts Saturday than Doyle's brother Lou and little Felix Silva, this observer can’t imagine where they could have been. Both of these gentlemen had the important and unenviable job of set- ting The Star’s City of Washington tournament for men in motion and if you ever have the job of registering, collecting entrance fees, handing out receipts, introducing opponents, giving balls and assigning courts for a tennis tournament, don't do it without either or both of these men!

In the wake of the lone victory salvaged in the three-game series in Boston, Appleton also was felicitated today for some of the most phenom- enal hitting by any pitcher so far this year.

This made it 6 to 2 and thereafter it was just a breeze for Pete. With the aid of an error and Joe Kuhel's triple in the sixth the Griffs boosted the count to 8-2 and finally wound up their scoring when doubles by Al Simmons and Cecil Travis and a single by Appleton produced two more runs in the eighth. After their two-run rally in the second the Red Sox had to hit home runs to score against Appleton. Jimmy Foxx clouted one in the sixth and Buster Mills put one over the fence | in the seventh.

AN ANTONIO, Tex., May 31.— Feminine golfdom’s heavy ar- tillery starts firing tomorrow in quest of a trans-Mississippl title now worn by Kentucky's Marion Miley. On hand after a hurried trip from Memphis, where she won the Mar- guerite Gaut Trophy tourney, Miss Miley played the course for the first time today in the four-ball matches. Four former champions, four Curtis Cup team members and a bevy of State champions, had the ‘feel” of the par 36-36—72 San Antonio Country Club course after yesterday's mixed foursome event.

ITTSBURGH, May 31.—Denny Shute, the cold, emotionless Boston golfer with nerves of steel, wore the professional championship crown again today be- cause he conquered his jinx hole when the chips were down. After a great rally down the stretch as the sun was sinking over the hills of the Pittsburgh Field Club yester- day, dour Denny finally caught young Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Winches- ter, Mass. They were all square after 36 holes and moved to the thirty-seventh, the No. 1 hole. A wan with ounce less courage might have weakened there. Not once in the preceding five rounds had Denny been able to rake in a par on it, Almost every opponent had beaten him there. The champion- ship as well as $1,000 in prize money But not a muscle in his poker face gave sign of the panic that must have been in his heart. Shute Sturdy in Pinch. IIE BANGED one down the middle and after McSpaden had driven in the rough and skidded through a trap with his approach, Denny clipped & 4-iron shot that covered the pin all the way and dropped 18 feet short. McS8paden chipped 8 feet away, ap- parently sure of a four. But Shute wasn't content with a half. Fully realizing this hole had caused him trouble, he still disdained to play safe. He struck his putt boldly past the cup and holed it com- ing back to grab the title, as Jug Mc- | Spaden missed. It was & tough one for McSpaden | to lose. The first had been just as lucky for Jug as it had been a night- mare for Denny. McSpaden had won it from Shute in both championship rounds, once with a birdie. But he couldn’t handle it when it counted most. McSpaden Heartbroken. \ CcSPADEN was hearbroken, for he had thrown away the title several times, particularly on the thirty-sixth, where he missed a 6-footer for a win. His failure may have cost him a trip to Europe with the Ryder Cup team, though he still | has a chance to make it by outscoring | 11 other fellows in the national open | next month. Shute explained he wasn't upset by having to risk the title on the | “I'd missed a par here so first hole. often I ngured the percentage was in favor.” As long ago as last Winter Shute | felt he would win again.

But Shute took the thirty-fourth and thirty- fifth and got his half when Jug failed to get down that important putt on the thirty-sixth. mr et CLOSE FOR MILWAUKEE. Special Dispatch to The Star ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 31—Al- though making only 5 hits, the Mil- waukee Brewers took a 4-2 decision from Annapolis here yesterday. Forney and Bowie hit home runs for the home nine. | | STy HE boys are really burning up the track at that Jengthy Con- gressional Country Club course these days, and if the scoring being done is any augury of what will come when the Middle Atlantic cham- pionship comes off late next month they're going to bust all records for the 6,700-yard layout. Roger Peacock, who has played about six rounds of golf this year, stepped out and walloped the ball around in 69 strokes, which happens to be three under par, and Parker No- lan, the club champion, and Billy Shea, the Mid-Atlantic junior title holder, both scored 71s yesterday. To get scores like that at Congressional you have to wallop the ball, for it's one of the long- est layouts anywhere around the town and the fairways haven't become so hard yet the ball rolls 100 yards. Officers of the association are | looking for the best field in many | years when the Middle Atlantic tour- ney starts at Congressional on June | 22.

NDIANAPOLIS, May. 31—It's called a race for “gold and glory,” the annual 500-mile whirl at the Indianapolis Mo- 4or Speedway, on today, but the contestants sometimes wind up cold and gory. In 25 years of racing around the 21,-mile course, 28 drivers or me- chanics have been kilied. In addi- tion, four spectators have met death and one small boy playing outside the speedway inclosure was killed by a race car wheel, which hurtled the fence. ‘The speedway’s most disasterous years were 1909—its inaugural— when three racers and two specta- tors were Kkilled; in 1933, when three contestants were killed in Speed Bug Bites Meyer’s Brother NDIANAPOLIS, May 31 (®).— After watching Louis Meyer of Los Angeles, greatest 500-miler of them all, win three Indianapolis races in 10 years, his kid brother will take a shot at fame the hard way—as a riding mechanic.

McCALLUM. OUBLE putting greens on one-shot holes, where crowd- ed playing conditions exist. It's something new in golf ideas and it would work out splen- didly in speeding up play on some of the courses around Washington where it takes from 3% to 4% hours for a round of golf, in the opinion of Ro- land MacKenzie, Congressional Coun= try Club pro. Roland walked up to the fourth hole at Chevy Chase, the only one- shot hole around Washington which has a double green and two sets of tees. The new green, built four or five years ago, was occupied by a group of club members, but the old green which will be used tomorrow in the sectional qualifying rounds for the open championship was open and clear, “Say,” he said, “why couldn't they have double putting greens on several short holes of every course where the play is heavy? One match could play to one green of the same hole, while another match played to the other green. Think of the time it would save and how it would speed up play. I haven't figured it out but Il bet it would cut at least a half hour off the playing time on crowded courses, and I'll also bet it could be worked out. Effective, Although Expensive. TAKE Congressional, for example. We have a rule (and we'e plenty crowded) that players reach- ing the green on short holes mu:t motion the match behind to play their tee shots to the green, and then the members of the first match may putt out. That saves some time but the double green idea would save a lot more time. “Look right here. That match ahead of us could be putting on one green, while we played to the other at this fourth hole, and they could go on while we were putting. “It sure looks as if it might work out, but I guess it would be rather expensive. Where the average course has four short holes you'd have to have four more greens, making a to- tal of 22 greens to keep up instead of 18. But it would speed up play.” Washington woman golfers will play their first important team match of the current season Wednesday at Congressional, where they will meet a team of feminine clubswingers from Richmond. The teams will number about 20 women. Final first-team matches will be played Friday at Chevy Chase, but the girls will be playing only to determine second, third and fourth positions. The champion- ship already has been won by Chevy Chase. —_— PACIFIC. Missions. 4-5; Portiand. 3:2, le. 11-3:"San Diego. 1-2. Oullnd 14-2; San !uneuw 10-4. PIEDMONT.
