N Pinchurst, C., March 14 (P— Nincteen year old Helen Hicks, the siege gun of women's golf from Hewlett, L. 1., has acquired a snappy follow through in a new ficld. Between record breaking perform. | ances on Carolina links this winter she has blossomed out as a hard working real estate saleswoman. She has done well for a youngster and will accompany a team ot American women stars to Ingland this spring on money she has carned. A self-reliant young person, bent on achieving future golf successes as a corollary to progress in busine Miss Hicks embarked on a commer- cial career of her own choice. “My parents were not unwilling,” she says, “yet they did not think necesary for me to take a position. But I have so many golf ambitions | that it will take plenty of money to | attempt them. That money I want to carn, and then I will be ever so much morc satisfied it I do get somewherc in golf.” But Helen already is “somewhere” and flgures to go a lot further in a hurry. some good licks in major summer affairs and won the Canadian wom- en's title. This winter Miss Hicks won the mid-south tournament with case, taking medal honors with a 79 over the Pine Ncedles course, one of the longest and snaggiest in the south. Any women who can break 80 over it is playing top notch golf. In match play Helen was not, taken beyond the fourteenth green. In the St. Valentine's tournament at Pinehurst she again was medal- st and won the meet in a big field, never going above 80 and whacking out the course record of 73 in.one round. Helen will be the “baby” of the women’s team that will play in Eng- land in May, but she should prove a lusty infant. Six consecutive rounds at Pinehurst for which she averaged f 7 testity to that.

While they may not have enough power to fend off the Athletics and Yankees, they will be giving somebody a tussle for the flying banner when winter comes. The Indians are fortunate in hav- ing the backbone of their team made | up of men old in baseball but young in years. In addition they have a promising bunch of huskies itching | to step into the shoes of the regu-| lars. Out of the squad of forty-two big, stout men, thirty-five may be considered well Dbeyond the raw stage. Last ycar the Indians finished in third place and werc playing ball like demons when the season ended. It it were possible, and it hardly is for the Indians to hit at the start of this scason, their stride of the last month of the 1929 scason they would go rough shod over anything in sight. There will not be any drastic changes in this scason's lincup over last. Charlic Jamicson may be foreed to function as utility outfielder as his 37 years have placed him in the twilight of baseball. It will be hard for him to hold his regular post against such men as Bib Falk, Earl Averill and Dick Porter. The Indiaps had the fright of their lives when it looked - as if scarlet fever would keep Lewis Fonseca off of first base. ‘But all is hunkidory now as word came from California that Fonscca was up and. about and was taking light training on the | coast and would be fit for the start of the scason. The Indians would have been in a | sad plight if they had lost this man, who led the American league in bat- ting honors last season and snapped into it on first base as naturally as the well knock duck takes to water. They were drilling Henry Bonura and Alex Hooks for the job but they showed nothing to make merry over, | particularly in comparison with Fon- [ seca. The ankle-twisting Shortstop Bil- let is creating lots of excitemient as three lads, Carl Lind, Ray Gardner and John Goldman arc out for the post. Lind is making a drive to get | back rcgular after being routed off | second base by Urban Hodapp when he got sick. Hodapp has sccond clinched about ag much as Joe Sew- cll has third. Luke Sewell and Glenn Myatt as usual will carry the hod behind the bat. The pitching squad is something to behold. Only one pitcher stands under six feet and only one of them is in the thirties. They are 12 verita- blo giants, cight right handers and four southpaws, with Ierrell the top hand but with Hudlin, Miller, Hollo- way and Shautc not far below. Others with more than passing ability arc Clinton Brown, Milbern Shoffner, Mel Harder, and Peter Ja- blonow But the main weapon possessed by the Indians is their hitting pow- er. Every man of the regulars can pound the ball, the lightest hitters | being among the shortstop candi- dates and the pitchers. With Fonse. ca setting the example and an all star hitting outfield and such bats- men as Joe Sewell, Luke Sewell, Ho- | dapp, Ferrell and Shaute, a lot of | trouble is ahead for opposing pitch- ers, With such strength it stands to reason that in a season or two if not this season, the Indians will make ithc State Armory — Maple Ends Bringing a Greatly, Strengthened Lineup to This City — Waterman, Carney and “Dutch” Leonard Added to Squad— Orioles to Battle St. Stanislaus Combine in Prelim. BOYS’ CLUBLOSES 70 BRISTOL RIVAL Locals Fight Hard Bat Winners Are Too Clever The New Britain Boys' club prov- cd no match for the Bristol Boys' club last night on the latter's home floor and went down in defeat by 88-23 in a fast but generally ome- sided encounter. The win gave the Bristol team a two-to-ome cdge on the locals in their series, the fourth game of which will be played here on Monday, March 24. Bristol took an early 6-0 lead only to have New Britain come back and seize the advantage by 11-8. Then the winners burst loose with unde- niable fury and ran the tally to 21- 11 by the half. They held and in- creased this margin during the sec- ond half despitc the game attempts of the locals to closc the gap, Karwoski, S.

NOURSELF AND New Britain's sole basketball at- traction tomorrow night will be a contest between the National Guards and Bristol Maple Ends at the state armory. This is the featur: of a two-game program. The pra- liminary is also a banner attractior., the Orioles being hosts to the St. Stanislaus five of Meriden. The Maple Ends have been going in good form when the Endee stars have been in the line-up. Recently the Bell City team played a game with the Torrington Wonder Five, an aggregation composed of former high school players who have won fame in national tournaments. Al- though the advance dope had it that the Bristol outfit was in for a de- feat, it upset the bucket and de- feated the Torrington team. Confidence has been expressed Ly officials of the National Guards that the change in the playing date frora Wednesday to Saturday night will make certain a successful year from a financial standpoint. New Britan fans are not inclined to view baskei- ball games during the week day un- less they see contests in the Indus- trial League. The National Guard five is repre- sentative of a young group of play- ers who are advancing rapidly in th sport. - At center is Ray Holst, last Year a member of Lanpher's squad. The forwards, Mickey Luke, Elmor Swanson and Emil Karbonic, are & fast, scrappy and heavy-scoring ar- ray. Karbonic also plays a guard position and his fellow defensive players are Aldie Hewett who is also substitute center, Billy Yankaskas and George Luke, brother of Mickey Luke. Preliminary Game The Orioles under the direction of “Tex” Zevin have been making a .| great name for themselves in junior | basketball circles this year. | onc Only loss in 15 games has becn checked up against the Birds and this defeat was avenged later in the seaton when the Zevinites won over the St. Cyril quintet of Hartford.
