OLE OA BY VERNE WICKHAM There is the nuisance who sticks his peg any place on the tee, regard- less of where the tee markers are. He walks all over the tee and final- ly selects & nice new spot of grass on the tee and tees up there. There are two different rules cov- ering this subject. In match play, here isthe ruling: “If a ball is play- ed from outside the limits of the teeing ground, it may be at once re- caller by the oppesing side, and may be re-teed without penalty. In other words, there is no penalty, except if you happen to get oft a nice 200- yard drive when teeing ahead of the markers, your opponent can make you play it over. Tn stroke competition it is dif- ferent. Here's the rule: “If at any hole a competitor plays his first stroke from outside the limits of the teeing-ground, he shall count that stroke, tee a ball, and play his sec- ond stroke from within the limits. The proper place to tee your ball is square between the markers— never in front of them. The greenskeeper has selected the best spot on the tee for the markers and they are put there for you to use. Always sec that you have teed the ball in the proper spot. Resigned Because of Alumni Recent resignations of Paul Belt- ing. athletic director, and Sam Bar- ry. basketbail coach, were said to have been influenced by bickering of University of Towa alymni. Eight Winners in Two Weeks During the first two weeks of racing at Jamaica this spring, Sam Hildreth, veteran trainer, sent eight winners out. His record was the best of all trainers for that period. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, IN FISTIC GARDS La Barba-Kid Chocolate Battle Appears Outstanding Match New York, May 20 (M—There's a lttl bit of everything on this week's filstic card with such figures as Kid Chocolate, Fida Bararba, Tommy Loughran, Tod Morgan, Jackie Fields, Ace Hudkins, Griftiths, Billy Wallace Glick providing high coast to coast. In point of general interest Kid Chocolate’s battle with Bararba, the retired flyweight champion, seems to deserve a ranking at the top of the list. They are down for a 10-round bout at the New York Colseum ‘Wednesday night. Having outgrown the flyweight class, Bararba has an eye on the vacant bantamweight throne throne abdicated by Charley Phil Rosenberg several years ago. A decisive victory for either Chocolate or Bararba may result in champion- ship recognition at least so far as the New York state athletic com- mission is concerned. Tod Morgan defends his -junior lightweight championship against the Mexican, Baby Sal Sorio at Los Angeles tonight. Ace Hudkins, Ne- braska wildcat, will fight Tom Moore of Long Beach in a 10-round match at Hollywood on Friday. Tuffy Griffiths, 8ioux City, Ja., puncher, makes his debut among the heavyweights in a 10-round match with Al Friedman of Boston at the Chicago stadium Friday. In anoth- er 10-rounder on the same card, Jackie Fields, welterweight cham- pion of the world in the eyes of the National Boxing association, engages Clydes Chastian, Texas cow-punch- ing knockout atar. Tommy Loughran, king of the lightweights, again enters the heavy- weight lists, this time at Boston Fri- day against Ernie Schaaf. Billy Wallace and Joe Glick, out- Tufty and Joe spots from standing lightweights, battle it out over the 12-round land on Tuesday. Madison Square Garden's Thurs- day night shew features a return méeting between Jack Berg. Eng- lish lightweight, and Bruce Fowers, New Rochelle, N. Y., negro.

The doubles will be played before the singles. There are 40 entries for the men’s doubles, 46 for the mixed pairs and 26 for the women's doubles and in that number are al- most all of the game's greatest fig- ures. Tennis enthusiasts are busy specu- lating 'the chances of success of the various combinations. Experts fore- cast that the semi-finals of the men's doubles will find Bill Tilden and ¥rank Hunter, Jean Borotra and Rene Lacoste, Rene de Buzelet and Christian Boussus and Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon lined up al- though there is a chance that the Englishmen, J. C. Gregory and I. G. Collins may remove the French youngsters, de Buzelet and Boussug. No experts doubt that Helen Wills and Hunter and Lili D'Alvarez and Borotra will be found in the semi- {finals of the mixed doubles along {with Eileen Bennett and Cochet and either Mme. Serpieri and Baron Um- tie with Parenti of Albany and Pep- |berto de Morpurgo or Mme. Faurie !and Lacoste. As for the women's doubles, the entry list is rich with strong teams such as Miss Bobbie Heinie and Miss Neave of South Africa, Miss Pap- acott and Miss de Smidt, also of South Africa, Mme. La Faurie and Mme. Mathieu of France, Miss Wills and Miss Cross of the United States and Mrs. Phoebe Watson and Eileen Ben- nett of England, the present holdeps of the title.

Glasser and Borotra and |Senorita Alvarez agahst Mme. Ber- nard and Magaloff. The touring team of American women shaded a I'rench women's team yesterday, four matches to ng | three, by taking three or four after- noon matches. The team play de- | veloped a hard fight for Helen Wills, Iher most difficult match, in fact, Isince her defcar by Mlle. Lengler, according to the American courts lqueen herselr. This opposition was provided by [ Mme. Mathicu, the former Mlle. i mone Passemard, who matched Miss Wills almost stroke for stroke through the first set only to see the American girl win by cight games to six. The strain of this encounter proved so great that the French woman was unable to win a game in the second set, which saw Miss HOUSE Z, YoUR LoT / we T oNLY By AHERN NO~No /<« You Dol'Y UNDERSTYAWD ! < DRAT 1T, = I DoN'T WANT To BuY WaNT Al opTiod oN IT For THREE MenTHS / arma MY PURPOSE IS To LAY oUT A HALF DoZEN HORSE coUrTs oN THE LoT, BUILDING [ el CoNFOUND 1T/ E6AD,w I CAN'T SHoUT MY IDEA To THIS MaN, WITHOUT LETTING THE WHOLE WoRLD IN ol MY SECRET ! -SHoE wae NOT A A VoT You SAY You PUT ON MY LoT,—~ ~ HoRSES ?.-— oW, A MERRY-GO-RoUND MAVYBE, wae OR IS IT VILD VEST CowPoYs, ‘g ot 2 —— Wills drop only nine points.
