U7HILE the United States VV will send a team of amateur golfers to compete in the British amateur tourney, it is a certainty that it will not comprise the crown of the talent. Jesse Sweetser, winner of the United States amateur title at Brookline, Mass., last year and Bobby" Jones and Rudy Kntp{*ei, who .i~=o worked up to the semi-finals, are riot being figured In the make-up of the team. True, the services oi tnese three great players are much desired, but holding of the British amateur in may conflicts with the college work of the trio. Sweetser Is at Yale, Jones at Harvard, and Knepper at Princeton. If they made the : ip, it would seriously Interfere with their studies. Even if they desired to go, it is doubtful if faculty permission would be granted. All of which makes It seem that the four semi-finalists in the United States amateur of 1922 will not go abroad to represent this country this year. + "I* *l- - Burman, Cliicago, defeated Midget Smith in ten rounds in the Windy City Wednesday night. -1- -I* -IMember? of Jack Hendricks’ Indians who have remained here during the winter hare started to Umber up at the Mapleton Ath- ! letie Club gym.

Swank has a neat pair of balltossers in Holton and Springer, forwards. lloUon, small of stature, Is a Mhir./. on the floor and has a good eye. Springer is a dashing player who has his off and on nights, but plays a nlco game. He Is a good floor worker and shoots well. The Hartford team la doped to win the sectional at Portland. *

And when they show they know i ;is much basket ball as the northaiders exhibited the coach must also get his share of the glory. Couch Burton has done a great deal with his ; squad at Shortridge. He has taught ; them how to shoot, and has grad- ! ually developed the different players. When Improvement can be noted In the various members as the season advances the cause Is not hard to find. It's the coach.

three of the six could appear in the iine-up at the same time. The weather had been a trifle cold for about a week. I had been doing some coaching for one of the college teams and had been pitching daily In batting practice for the collegians, I had not figured on working the game in which we suffered defeat. In the very first inning my arm troubled me slightly. I had been pitching a great many curve balls in batting practice, as the Japs are not very familiar with that s.tyle of pitching. Not caring to take any chances, I pitched the entire game, using nothing but fast balls, and because of the soreness I had developed In my arm, my fast ball was just ordinary. We lost the game, 9 to 2, due to one bad inning, the second, I believe, In which the Japs made six rung. In that inning I allowed only two hits, but an error by each member of the infield enabled the Japs to secure a commanding lead. Outside of that one bad inning the game was very closely contested. The affair was anything but a burlesque. The Japs Won, and deserved to. Our team simply had one of those off days that happen to every club. In addition, my pitching was nothing to brag about.
