CHAMPS REPEAT IN YEAR OF 1928 Jones, Hagen, Collett and Diege! High in Goli New York, Dec. 22 P—Golf in ‘1028 brought some repeating cham- pionships, a good trick if you can do it. Bobby Jones won the Ama- teur for the fourth time, a tie for the record; Walter Hagen captured his third British Open, Glenna Col- lett took the women's title which she had won in 1922 and 192 Leo Diegel made the Canadi his when he had had scored two previous triumphs, Johnny Farrell, who prepared for | the golf heights by winning eight minor championships in 1 final- | ly reached his objective when he won | the Open. after a play-off with Bob- Ly Jones. After being out of the money in 1927, the Atlanta lawyer came back to claim the runner-up place in the 1928 title quest. Th Georglan's record for seven vears was made to read two victorles, thres seconds, one tie for sccond and one tie for cleventh. | Diegel in addition to winning the famillar Dominion crown dethroned ‘Walter Hagen who had been estub- lished for four years as champion of 1he Professional Golfers' association. Won British Title Thomas Philip Perkins, an unas- suming golfer with a twinkling eye behind sedate spectacles, won the British amateur championship from a good field but had no golfing luck on this side of the Atlantic, He was routed by Bobby Jones in the Walker cup matches, 13 up and 12 to play and although he did much better in the Amateur and played his way to the finals, he was again no match for Jones, and bowed ugain | to the Atlantan, ten up and nine to | play. | Mile.

Miss Collett later fell before the steadi- ness of Miss Mabel Wrags, the Yorkshire champion, in the fourth round. The next day ul rrell and Jones went out to decide the lssue, this overtime excursion marking the third for Jones in an open title event. TFarrell's 143 was a stroke better than Jones could produce. The Atlantan came back in the amateur at Drae Burn to make a show of the field in the latter stages of the competition.

As the situation stands mow, it |appears as if Young Stribling will battle Paulino Uzcudun, the Basque | woodchopper, and not Sharkey, at Miami Beach, Fla.. early next year. | ‘lime was when Sharkey was refer- red to as the “loquacious Lithuan- jan” by facctious sports writers with a flare for alliterative effects, but at least the Boston Sailor never talked himself out of a fight that! (would add $100,000 or so to the! family bankroll. And that's just t his manager or managers, as case may be, seem to have done. | he controversy hetween Rickard | harkey's handlers started when local newspapers received telegrams | purporting to come from Sharkev | d charging among other things | |that Rickard was managing Strib- ling, Paulino and Jack Dempsey. Further, the telegrams said Sharkey, | fearing he would not get a *break.” | {would refuse to fight Stribling in the | | Georgian's own scctor of the coun- | |tr: Thus the kettle began to seethe and before many days had passed | |it had come to a boil. Jimmy John- |ston, one-time ten per cent manager | of Sharkey, shut off the heat when | |he admitted that he had sent the | telegrams and signed Sharkey's |name to them. | Then Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's | manager entered the arena with a new set of charges which he leveled |against Tex from Bostan in tele- | |phone conversations to newspaper- | men here. Buckley charged Rickard had at- |tempted to buy Sharkey's contract for $60.000 last month; that he saw ard give Walter Friedman, the money to purchase an interest in Knute Hansen, the melancholy | Pane, and wound up hy saying the [promoter was luring Sharkey into | the south for the match against | Stribling so that the Boston sailor| would be “knocked oft.” Buckley id he had turned down Rickard's offer of $75.000 for the fight and demanded $150,000. He will have no further conversations with the! promotfer unless newspapcrmen are present—at least, so he said. After denying all these accusa- tions, Tex added that he was “through fooling with Sharkey” ani| v's fear of losing the| decision to Stribling was tacit ad- mission that Buckley did not think | the Sailor could conquer the husky | Georzian. He ~dded that In view ¢ all that had happened he prob. | ably would match Paulino against stribling and let Sharkey out in tha | cold.

CABINETOFFICULY HOLIDAY PLANS President Doubtful Abont His Christmas ‘Washington, Dec. 22 (A — The resident and his officia) family will ihang their stockings in widely sep- arated places on Christmas eve, The official life of the national capital during the Yuletide will be disrupted gencrally and the junior clement of society as usual will hold sway. West Point and Annapolis and all the larger colleges and schools of the country are sending many students here for the Christmas holiday and some of the most bril- liant parties of the week will belong almost exclusively to them. ‘While the plans of President and Mrs. Coolidge for the wecek are a bit tentative, those of his cabinet are not. The vice president and Mrs Dawes are closing their house on Belmont road and will go direct to anston, 1ll., where elaborate plans have been made for their Christmas celebration. The secretary of state and Mrs. Kellogg had to abandon their trip to St. Paul, Minn.,, because of the exacting work of the conference of complished but quite democratic girl, pretty and with a kindly way that wins for her many friends.

This fis one of the most brilliant and inter- esting social affairs to take place in Washington in a twelve-month. The secretary of the treasury, An- drew W.

The secretary of war, Dwight F.

Attorney General Sargent is al- ready with Mrs. Sargent and their family at Ludlow, Vt., and will not return until the New Year. Postmaster General and Mrs. Harry 8.

There it will burn all during the week, the electric can- dles being replenished as needed and in sight of the public will hang many beautiful toys. And too, Mrs. Davis has a way about children and | toys that is quite as good to ob- serve all the year around as at Christmas time. Whenever the chil- dren in the mursery forget to put their toys away in the places made for them, they are carried off and hidden away by some orderly “myth” that haunts the rooms, and it is sometimes a month before they can be found again. This makes a regular picture book nursery just | |like one reads about—that is after the children are in bed. | Much of the social life of Wash- ington even of the official and dip- lomatic set centers in the large ho- tels of the city, and it was at one of these where the assistant secre- tary of war.
