'ARMSTRONG had difficulty solving Sarron’s bobbing and weaving for several rounds, and the latter is no Ambers in that style of boxing and does not have the durability of the hatehet-faced Italian to carry on round after round. Then there is the fact that Ambers met up with and lasted the route against one of the greatest punchers in the welterweight division in the person of Jimmy McLarnin. Barney Ross, in defeating Tony Can- eoneri, won the lightweight crown from a great fighter. He went on to whip McLarnin twice. No one yet has had the temerity to class Ross as a fluke champion, but giving Armstrong 8 chance to whip Barney practically amounts to the same thing. Armstrong will not lack for action while attempts ‘to match him with Ambers or Ross are taking place.

Anxious mamas, proud papas, fond sweethearts, all in search of the ideal Christmas gift, often wind up in the pet shop. the breeding kennel or at the dog dealer's. And what more closely approaches the ideal gift than & dog? Where else can you buy love, a devotion that lasts a life time. a never failing source of entertainment, an interest that is sustained over the years? % However, in buying a dog there are certain dos and font's far more important in this pur- chase than in most others. The first do concerns the integrity of the dog seller. Do make sure you are dealing with Farm Kennels. & reliable and reputable breeder or dealer. An unscrupulous one tem- porarily can cover many defects, hide symptoms of early illness, fake pedi- grees, and refuse to give either aid or advice once the money is in his possession. Breeding Is Expensive. UY as good a puppy or dog as you can afford. You will be proud of each of his many virtues, regardless of - whether you are interested in showing or not. As the dog becomes more and more a part of your life, you will find that you are learning more all the time of what his breed standard calls for, and subconsciously comparing your dog with the ideal.

A modest, hard-hitting middleweight, entering professional ranks seven months ago. An avid student of the game, he patterned his infighting style instructed George in some of the finer phases of face lifting when in train- ing here last summer. 5 Abrams Can Take Punch. WHAT is more important to local ringworms than Abrams’ 12 suc- cessive conquests, however, is the knowledge that the flat-nosed, 10-year- old prospect can absorb a solid whack and bounce back viciously and ap- parently unharmed. Having disposed of the fairly tal- ented Serge Prevost here recently, Abrams tonight will face Johnny Barrie, a graduate of New England Golden Gloves ranks, who has cap- tured 29 out of 32 engagements since entering the paid clan. An eight- rounder, the bout will be co-festured with a tiff involving Tony Dupre of New Hampshire and Baby Manuel, local featherweight... Dupre, a rather authoritative counter-puncher, and "Manuel, aggres- sive Cuban, will be X-rayed by Match- maker Goldie Ahearn in their eight- rounder to determine if they are fit specimens to collide with Lou Gevin- son, who now is idle due to lack of available opponents.

Likewise don’t buy a Pom- eranian for a 200-pound he-man who glories in the great outdoors. There is a breed for each individual, and a very little search often reveals the right one. The Welsh terrier often would fill the bill for the longer for an Airedale who lives in close quar- ters. A Shetland sheepdog is the an- swer to the suppressed desire of many for a oollie. Maiden ladies who are very precise in their ways might pre- fer a sedate toy breed, perhaps the new-old pug dog, to a rambunctious terrier. The 12-year-old boy rather would have a terrier or a larger dog than a toy. The country dweller A trio of Shetland sheepdog puppies owned by Beechiree probably would appreciate a gun dog above all others even if he doesn't hunt. Another factor to be considered in the purchase of a puppy is the pup’s age. In many cases a grown dog proves to be the better choice. The young puppy is subject to infantile ailment, will chew on things, dig and tear, has had very little or no train- ing, but is utterly adorable. The older dog does not need to be fed so often, is past his puppy troubles, may have had some house training and often can adapt himself better to the ways of an adult house than the younger can, GOING hunting? Take a dog. The amount of game wounded and un- retrieved each hunting season is ap- palling. A good dog will save the needless suffering, the wasting of game and the disappointing trek home without & bag. He also will add ma- terially to the day's enjoyment. Bronx Show Is Finale. 'HE Bronx, New York, Kennel Clyb show on December 5 is the last all-breed fixture of the year. Then comes a respite for Eastern fanciers until the Baltimore show starts the ball rolling again on January 28. \ Maltese terriers practically are an extinct breed now, but time was when it was a popular and expensive breed. As long ago as the middle of the 16th century a dog lover of Rome paid the equivalent of $10,000 for one of this breed. The transaction was witnessed and «recorded by Ulissi Aldro- vandi, an Italian naturalist of the time. The tiny Maltese terrier was well established in the land of Malta when the Phoenicians settled there in 1500 B. C. It is believed that it is the dog worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. $20.000 IN PRIZES EPIDEMIC OF ACES INSHAWNE GOLF| ONLINKSRECEDES Pros Will Shoot for Rich Purses in P. G. A. Club Open Next Summer. By W. R. McCAI&UM. CENE of golf's biggest money operations during the early part of 1938—Shawnee Country Club at Shawnee-on-Delaware, Pa. More than $20,000 in cash, which is a bunch of potatoes, is going to be spread around among America's top- notch pros in a two-week jamboree of golf to he held at Shawnee late in June and early in July. Fifteen grand will be laid on the line for the boys who play in the Professional Golfers' Association tourney there, starting July 10, while at least $5,000 more will be dished out for an open tourney to follow the National Open champion- ship, probably around the third week in June. Art Brown, who has leased the Shawnee establishment from the Worthington family, announces that the golf course, one of the outstanding layouts in the East for two decades, will be considerably lengthened for the P. G. A. tournament. West Soon Due Mourney. H 'HIS, by the way, marks the third straight year the professional match play event will have been staged in the East. It was held at Pinehurst in 1936 and at Pittsburgh last May. It must go West in 1939, if the P. G. A. is to satisfy the demands of the Western pros. Shawnee has been the kind of course where a red-hot golfer could score amazingly low, but it won't be a soft touch in the tourney next July. New tees have been built on many of the holes, pushing the markers back for a total added distance around 300 yards; bunkers have been pulled in closer to the greens and the whole layout has been toughened until the big shots won't do any 65s as they have done in the Shawnee open tournaments of past years. Even the famed Binnie- kill hole—the 16th of the course —has come in for some shifting. This is & 1-shotter across an arm of the Delaware River and is one of the famous short holes of the land. Already Financial Success. BHOWN told Wiffy Cox a few days ago that the P. G. A. tourney al- ready is a financial success. He has sold enough advertising in the tour- nament program to pay the rap of 15- grand, and propably the tournament will make money. Gate receipts won't bring in any startling amount of dough, for Shawnee, even though it's fairly close to several smaller Penn- sylvania towns, is 90 miles from New York and about the same distance from Philadelphia. - So the pros will have more than $25,000 to shoot for in three open tourneys next June and July. The National Open for $5,000, the Shawnee open for another $5000, and the P. G. A. for $15000 follow in rapid succession. It looks another big money year for the boys who make a living by knocking in 6-foot putts. JANKOWSKI IS BETTER Injured Packer Resting Easily. Look for Skull Fracture.

By Walter McCallum ‘s 4 4 OME day, if I ever get the time and the money, I'm going to play 80lf ever day as much as I want.” 3 Frisco Joe Cronin, the stalwart Irishman from California, who plloted Washington's ball club into & world series in 1933, ‘probably never will be & great goifer like Baseball Players Sammy Byrd and Babe Ruth, but if he has his way golf will be his game after he retires from baseball. And Joe, for a comparative freshman+ — in golf, does pretty well. Just now he’s in the throes of changing his golf style, which isn't easy to do for an accomplished linksman. But Joe thinks that when he gets set with his new style he'll be able to take Pappy- in-Law Griffith every time they start. ‘Which also isn't any soft spot. Just now Joe works out nearly every day at Indian Spring, where he has been able, by some choice chipping and putting, to get around in 79 or so as his best mark. He usually scores around 85, and he aims to be & con- sistent high 70s shooter. You'd think that a lusty lad like Cronin would be a golf ball slugger par excellence. But it isn't so. Joe can pole those tee shots a long way when he gets behind ’‘em; any ath- letic gent with 180 pounds of well- conditioned muscle and natural ability can hit a tee shot. But Joe, smart guy tha} he is, realizes long hitting alone doesn’t make a golfer. So he has concentrated on the short game, in which department he has been helped by Griff. ‘Today Joe Cronin is one of the better chippers you'll find anywhere. Put him 25 yards from the pin and he’ll knock it pretty nearly stone-dead every time. He got that from Griff and from George Diffenbaugh, who happens to be a master of the chip shot. But when Joe winas up on a tee shot that ball goes away from there a long way. “I played with Joe the other day at Chevy Chase.” said George. “On that sixth hole, which I rate as Washing- ton’s toughest par 4 affair, I hit a pretty good tee shot. And I didn't miss my second shot, which I hit with a spoon to the green. But Joe knocked his tee shot so far he was home with a 7 iron. SPORTS. Armstrong, Featherweight, Conceded Chance toBeat Welter Ch - “That's one sample of how far he can hit ‘em when he meets 'em. He was 30 far ahead of me off the tee it make me look like a piker, and I didn’t miss my tee shot, either. Joe can become a very good golfer, and I don't know any one who likes the game more than he does. Of course, he has a high goal to shoot at. Mr. Griffith (George always calls him Mr.) is one of the best men I know around the green. Joe got tired of paying off on those chips that Mr. Griffith laid up around the hole and concentrated on his own chipping game until he's darned good. But the main point is that he wants to im- | prove, and that counts for plenty.” THE long-hitting boys aren’t going to make that new twelfth hole at Columbia into an easy par 4 any more. For years past the sluggers have fig- ured on catching up on par at the tweifth hole, which has been one of those easy par-5 affairs, But they are building a well-trapped new green at that hole, to be in use next spring, which will convert the hole into a much fougher 3-shotter than it ever has been, The hole won't be lengthened an inch, but they've stuck the green around the corner of a bunch of trees nearer the thirteenth tee, and any | guy who reaches it in two wallops has played two very clever shots. ‘We've seen the old twelfth played with a drive and a mashie, but they | won't do that any more with watered | fairways and the new location of the putting green.

Penna always could knock the ball a long way, particularly with the iron clubs. amp OUIMET CRITICAL OF AMATEUR ACES Holds Modern Golfers Not on Par With OId-Timers and Mangle Rules. By the Associated Press, OSTON, Nov. 29— Prancis Ouimet, three-times Walker Cup team captain, thinks highly of today's young golfers, “but in my opinion they can't coms up to our internationalists of 1920 to 1930, and they don't know the rules as well, either.” The one-time national amateur and open champion is a busy man these days in his brokerage office, with the stock market acting up, but he al- ways finds time to talk golf. He likes especially to explain why he’s helping the Massachusetts Golf Association to educate the gdlf public on rules. “Out at the national amateur cham- pionship at Portland, Ore.” he re- lated, “I saw numerous cases of rules violations. The most flagrant one, I should say, was by younger players ‘who repeatedly stamped down the line of their putts with their clubs.” Don’t Know Rules. “INJOW, the rules allow you to brush away impediments with a club, but you mustn't apply any weight. Yet it was a frequent occurrence. “At the water hazards, oo, the boys would face away from the hole and virtually pick their lies, whereas the rules say you must face the hole and drop the ball over the shoulder.” “It's my impression,” Ouimet went on, “the youngsters of today know less about the rules than the players of old- er generations.” Loyal to Old-Timers. UIMET was asked hew the 10 1937 top-notchers would compare with the early Walker Cup players. “Well, I may be prejudiced in favor of the veterans” smiled the be- spectacled linksman, who first won the National Open back in 1913, “but T think we could have handled the pres- ent stars.” “After all, there was Bob Jones, clearly the greatest amateur of ail time; Chick Evans, woh in his prime was a close second; eJsse Guilford, Harrison Johnston, George von Elm, Jesse Sweetser, Bob Gardner and my- self. Of the present group I think only Johnny Fischer, Johnny Goodman and Lawson Little could stand up in the top company of the veterans.” New Champions In Grid Sectors By the Associnted Press, NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—Confer- ence or sectional football champions for 1937: 1037 1936, East (best records) Pitt Pitt Fordham Villanova Dartmouth Harvard Lafaveite Amherst Minnesota Nebraska Tulsa Ivy League Biz Three Middle _Three Little Three Big Ten Dartmouth Yale None Northwest'n Nebraska Tulsa and Creighton State 2 Six Missouri Valley Southeastern Southern Alabama North Carolina and Maryland Rocky Mountain Colorado Pacific Coast California Southwest Undetermined Utah State Wash'gton Arkansas v By PAUL J.

N THE hunter's armory no gun is given more loving care than the deer rifle, and no gun is used less. Every mechanism is kept oiled and in perfect condition, the telescope sights are adjusted to a hair, and the prize-grain stock is hand polished until it can be used for a mirror. Seldom, however, is it taken out Seasons are short around here, deer are not as common or as plentiful as they once were and license and guide fees make an expensive item when it is considered that the sea- son limit is one in the three nearby States of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Many a deer hunter is des- tined not to go out this year; others will go out and fail to find game, and only a small percentage will bring back the one buck allowed them. What makes deer. hunting the pas- tiffe it is? Game is judged from the sportsman's standpoint on these three things—difficulty of finding, difficulty of shooting and eating quality. That makes deer the premier game animal around here. They are hard to find—it often takes two or three days in the field to sight even one, and even then it takes a good woodsman to get close enough for a shot. And when you are close enough for a shot it still is another matter to place a ball in a vital spot. The last point is easiest of all to answer, nothing is better than a good venison steak. Virginia Bears Also Game. THE Virginia swamp bear also is considered one of the big game animals, but they are sluggish and fairly easy to approach, even though 1t is another matter when it comes to finding a vital spot in its anatomy for a rifle slug. And as to eating, well, a bear is all right but it fails to top venison. This year the Maryland Con- servation Commission has noted an increase in the deer supply, and has opened the entire State to hunting. Last year hunting was confined to but three counties—Allegany, Garrett and Washington. Now, however, you can go after buck all over the State, although it is likely that for the most part deer hunting still will be con- fined to those three counties. This year the open season is from December 1 to 5, with the exception of the ‘Woodmont, and Gun Club in ‘Washington, where the season is from December 15 to 24. In Virginis, east of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the season extends until December 31 in the open counties, of which there are only a few. Wild Life Gets “I o In these days of small game supply —although admittedly there is more this season than for several past—it is wise to have a few tips on where you are going to find your upland birds and rabbit.

It may divide forest from pasture or from cultivated fields, or the bresk may come between meadow and hedgerow. The margjn of a stream or pond is “edge,” as is the seashore, and the dividing zone be- tween a sharply drained slope and'a bottom-land marsh. New develop- ments of edge appear in soil conserva- tion work, particularly in strip crop- ping—the planting of contours of oY SoY close-growing, soil-holding, silt-catch- ing bands of plants between cultivated strips. “Edge” is favorable to a rich and varied plant and animal life. S Birds and animals thrive in the edge zone where they can turn to the best of two contrasting environments. Food is more varied and abundant and there is more protection. Shore birds, for example, are a great and varied group inhabiting an “edge” and choosing what they wish of both land and sea. Dense forests shade out undergrowth and is unfavorable to wildlife, but where it changes to open grassland, the berried shrubs thrive, insects and other food are abundant and birds and animals multiply. Strips, terraces, sodded channels, reforesting and the planting of shrubs, vines and cover crops for soil protec- tion all help increase the variety and abundanoce of food and cover for bhirds and animals.
