Sb_eakinn of Sports “Jocko™ Conlon, local boy whose ‘work as a varsity pitcher for Cath- olic university brought him to the attention of the Washington Sena- tora of the National league, is un- ‘decided whether to follow a life of business or baseball. According to accounts, “Jocko™ Teceived a tryout with the Washing- ton ‘team and he showed up very well, It was thought necessary to farm him out for experience and he has been offered berths on several minor league teams. In the meantime, however, he has poceived a lucrative businsss oiler and he is undecided as to what ho ‘will do in the future. If he takes up baseball, he will probally go to the Atlanta team of the Southern asso- slation. % The Burritt baschml tean: will practice tomorrow night at ¢ o'clock at 8t. Mary's fleid. The team will o to East Hartforl funday to play there. ” Arrangements hava Leen mad: C:r & bus to run from i*IC. Bridgatt's store to Muzsy fleld in Bristol to- morrow night. This is for the sc- commodation of the many follow- ers of Johnny Clinch who would iike to see him in action at the Bristol park. The bus will carry a load of passengers over and back after the fights are over. Bridgett has also & block of 100 seats on sale for the fight. The Herald will megaphone the Uzcudun-Schmeling bout to be held at the Yankee Stadium tonight. The absence of a radio broadcast of the fight will increase the crowd of listeners on Church street, it ic thought. The bout is scheduled to go on at 10 o'clock daylight saving time. It will be over the 10-round route. One of the largest crowds of the wseason is expected out tonight at Walnut Hill park to watch ths Fanders-Fafnirs baseball game n the Industrial lcague., These two rivals should stage a pretty sct-to. The scheduled track meet be- tween the local Y. M. C. A. team and the Waterbury team, carded for thiz Baturday, has heen postponed a week Yecause of the fact that'Joseph G. Hergstrom, physical director ot the “Y” is in the hospital with an infected foot. Joe will be out of the hospital in time to attend the meet.

After a great record as an ama- teur in his native Scotland he came to the United States as a pro in 1921, played in the open the next year and finished in a tie for twen- ty-ninth place. ¥ It was difterent In 1923. Two Bobbys, Cruickshank - of Scotland, and Jones of Georgia, were all level at 28¢ for 72 holes, Cruickshank’s finishing with a great round of 73 to got into the tie. They played 18 hole play-offs in those days and Jones won his first title by scoring 76 to 78 for Cruick- shank, but it took one of the Dixie Bobby's greatest shots, =before or since, to wrest the title from the little fellow from Edinburgh. He tied for fourth in 1924, but his second 72 equalled the best score made on a single 18 during the competition. 4 Bobbly was forced to desert tne golf course for a hospital last year but he is now back on his gam. atter the enforced lay-off. He fin- ished sixth in the British open after his first two rounds of 73-74 had placed him in the very front line of the offense organized in the United States against the DBritish title. He fell back to 78-76 for the last two rounds. There are few good golfers, pro- fessional or amateur. who can bang their long irons with greater accu acy or more distance than'the wee Scott and Winged Foot's length probably will have no terrors for him.

MATCH PLAY T0 START IN'OPEN Golfers to Reach Finals in Tour- ney by Saturday Mamaroneck, N. June —The 33rd competition for open golf championship of the United States today reached the serious stage when cvery stroxe counts and the “abouts” are out No longer can a player say he scored “about 73, or “just about 75.” He will have to know exactly how many strokes he takes on each and every one of the 72 holes. The starting field inciuded 148 of the country's best professionals and T @ the !nnolher 18 tomorrow will reduce the | fleld for Saturduy’s final plays of 36 holes will be restricted to the low 80 and ties at the half-way mark. One nundred and 53 qualified for play but five withdrew. The current championship {largely domestic. Cuba has sent | John Wyland, a few Canadian pros lare trying their luck, and one dis- | tinguished visitor has come fron Scotland. The representative of Great Britain is Jack White who was the British opsn champlonship 25 years ago. He retired as profession | al at the famous Sunningdate course | in Surrey in Qowyn after 25 years | service. | The grizzled but pleasant visaged Scot does not expect to win his sec- ond major championship 25 years , after the first. He has come tou Winged Foot with a two-fold pur- pose, to chaperon his nephew Young | Jimmie Thompson of Knokville, | Tenn., and watch Bobby Jones hit | balls from the tee with the driver he | mad for him at Sunningdale | 1926. | | “There is a story about that driver.” said the famous pro, who is no less noted as a club maker. “I saw Bobby driving at Muir- field in the British amateur cham- | | pionship about two weeks before the qualifying rounds were to be playec {at Sunningdal: for the open. He { was not hitting the ball as he should | |and T was bold enough to speak to | him, although T did not know him well at that time. | | “I suid, ‘Bobby if you will drop 1n | when you come to Sunningdale yow | | can take your pick of some clubs there and T believe you will like one of them'.” He accepted. | “Now so far as I know there ar:: | only two great golfers who hit the ball exactly alike, every shot in the | same place on the club, Bobby and Miss Joyce Wethered. s | sity of Florida football star “This requir:s special treatment |a full fledged The club 1 made for Bobby wmited him and he carricd it under his avis when he walked around the cluv grounds and put it under the table when he went to dinner. 1 under- stand he was much distreased whew it was stolen with his other clubs ad out of his possession for a few hours. Naturally the affection this great boy has for my club touches me. “I do not know if it is kmown in the United States that this driver has a name as well as his famous putter, ‘Calamity Jane' 1 call this varticular, individual driver, ‘Jean- nie Deans.' The Scotch will know why. We are a very sentimental people, we Scotch, and the name, Jeannie Deans’ is close to our hearts. After the excitement of the cham- pionship is over I'll tell you aveut this heroine.” The British pro joined with the Americans in praising the difficult Winged Foot course. The srern countenance ot the course was somewhat softened by lack of rain as the championship play started and a smile insteaa of a scowt will be seen at some of the long holes when & long drive will be even longer over the hard fairways. There are plenty or competitors, however, who would be willing ro | take a score of 292 for the 72 holes and not play. SPUDS AND JOCKEYS Besides potatoes, Idaho furnishes. wonderful jockeys, too.
