PLAYING AFIELD

■With Billy Evans-

TOMMY Armour, National open golf champion, like Walter Hagen, who has held that title as well as numerous others, is a great baseball fan. In the summer when Armour isn’t on the links you can find him at the ball game. Naturally, Tommy knows most of the stars of. baseball intimately. Since Florida has . been the mecca five or six years, sions, big league I ball players and true that ball players like golf Evans and prefer playing the game to watching it. Some of the ball players have become mighty proficient at their golf. At the fanfest last summer made up of golfers and ball players, the argument arose as to which was the more difficult to hit, a golf ball or - baseball. * # # Armour, who never played baseball, argued he would hit more balls in twenty-five pitches than some ball player who never had golfed would hit a stationary golf balL tt tt tt TEST IN HITTING BALLS PITCHER CARL MAYS of the Cincinnati Reds told me the story of the test and the result. The players and golfers met at the Polo Grounds to decide the issue. Armour was to do the batting against the pitching of Carl Mays. He had insisted it was no great trick to hit the big league pitching. Armour tried out about fifty bats before he got one that suited his fancy as to size and weight. In the meantime, Mays was slowly warming up for the test. When Mays announced he was all set for the experiment, Armour stepped into the batter’s box. Armour had made up his mind that he would swing lustily at every pitch regardless of consequences. As Mays delivered one of his famous underhand balls, Armour started his swing. In golf language he sliced it, hitting the ball late. To the consternation of Armour and all the rest, the ball dropped into the right field stands for what would have been a home run in a regular game, m 0 Immediately the ball players began to give Mays the "rai/berry,” and those who know Carl can fully realize he didn’t enthuse over the reception. ft if MAYS WON ARGUMENT MAYBE it was purely accidental, _perhaps Mays didn’t have his usual amount of stuff on the ball, but regardless, -the first pitch made Armour one up with his drive into the right field stands for a home run. The next pitch Armour missed and he missed exactly twenty-five in a row, without making so much as even a foul before deciding that he had enough, that he was all wrong about it being easier to hit a baseball than a golf ball. I might add that the ball player who had never played golf, mstde a much better showing than did Armour, even though he did break two golf clubs in taking his twenty-five swings. However, there are a lot of ball players who still insist it is far easier to accurately hit a baseball than connect with the much smaller golf pill. tt tt tt After all, it is every one to his own game. Tommy Armour makes the hitting of a golf ball look easy, but no softer than Ty Cobb makes it appear to connect with a baseball. \

Mickey Wins Verdict Over Ex-Champion Walker Gets Judges’ Decision id 10 Rounds With Paul. B CHIC AGO, rrS * Nov. 26.—Mickey Walker, middleweight champion of the world, has hurdled the second obstacle in his path to the light heavyweight championship. Walker won a judges’ decision over Paul Berlenbach, former light heavyweight champion in a tenround bout here Friday night before 9,000 fight followers who paid $52,000 to see the match. It was Mickey's second showing here against a ljght heavyweight. A fortnight ago he knocked out Mike McTigue, another former light heavy title holder, in one round. Walker was not able to dispose of Berlenbach in the same manner, although h# had him on the canvas in the second and fourth rounds. Walker maintained an edge throughout the entire bout, winning eight rounds, while the first and third were even. The first time Berlenbach went dowiv was partially the result of a slip, and partly due to a Walker right. The fourth round knockdown also saw Berlenbach coming up without a count, after Mickey had pumped a barrage of wallops to the head and body with both hands. Walker weighed 161 pounds, while Berlenbach tipped the scales at 173 >,i. In the ten-round semi-wind-up. Tommy Freeman of Cleveland, Ohio, easily outpointed My Sullivan of St. Paul.

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor CHICAGO, Nov. 26.—The Irish of Notre Dame, not an undefeated football team, but recognized as one of the best in the country, entered the year’s most* important intersectional game against the University of Southern California today, sorely handicapped. Johnny Neimiec, the one and only consistent kicker of Knute Roclcne’s numerous elevens, was unable to play, the Notre Dame coach informed the United Press this morn-' ing, and just that margin of difference swayed the balance in favor of the Trojans from the Far West. Despite the prestige of the westerners, the far-famed ability of Capt. "Dreary” Drury and the general excellence of the weighty California line, the Irish had ruled favorites at odds varying from 6 to 5 to 9 to 5. Definite Statement Then came the definite announcement Neimiec. who all season has played a somewhat secondary role to the mighty Christy Flanagan, but rated by critics the equal if not the superior of the young Texas, would be unable to Play. . Without -a reliable kicker, in a season where the trend of gridiron play has revolved so closely around an advantage in this department, Notre Dame viewed with little optimism the prospect of the day’s encounter. The Trojans, playing in the Middle* West for the first time, survived the long train trip in splendid fashion. Climatic conditions promised to be mild, with none of the severe, stormy weather which Howard Jones’ men reasonably might have counted upon. California Favored Captain Drury, Jesse Hibbs and the other outstanding stars of the California team were at their best. The prestige of Pacific Coast football appeared safe in their hands. Furnishing Chicago with a colorful sports pageant rivalling the Army-Navy game in New York, the game also furnished the city with the largest collegiate football throng in history. Having drawn 110.000 spectators to the Army-Navy game here a year ago, and 140,000 to the DempseyTunney fight, the stadium out by the lake front added, to its laurels today by enclosing more than 111,000 football fans.

by three touchdowns to win, the Navy eleven was thrown in against a powerful Army team here today in the t nnual inter-service classic and tho ornamental finale of the Eastern football season. Some 50,000 persons, including high hats from Washington and the service, were to view the struggle. The average public had a slim chance. The ticket office of the New York Giants, owners of the. Polo Ground where the Cadets £md the Midshipmen were to “do or die” for dear old Army and dear old Navy, estimated that they could have sold triple the amount of ticket seats available. Scalpers Operate Ticket speculators, also, gave their word that they could have sold a few good seats around the fiftyyard line and as for proof they were asking $75 and SIOO for a few locations near a general’s box. The list of ticket holders included practically all of the notables from the military, professional and social elect of New York, Washington, Philadelphia and nearby cities. President Coolidge was unable to attend. The Army was a five to three favorite in the betting and some of the second lieutenants who did not want to take an undue advantage of an ensign were offering even money that the Cadets would win by two touchdowns. Great Army Record Having beaten Notre Dame and having lost to a great Yale team by the mere matter of twelve inches that prevented a touchdown, the Army w-as justified in the position of a heavy favorite because the Navy was beaten by Notre Dame and was also downed by Michigan. From the headquarters of the two teams the word was sent this morning that all the players were in perfect condition. The players worked out Friday on the Polo Grounds and the Cadet and Midshipmen rooters from the academies arrived this morning. The day dawned slightly overcast and cold .with indications of good playing weather at game time. ADOPT SPLIT SEASON Owners in Southern League Decide on Double Race.

Badger Five Misses Trio of Veterans Tenhopen, Komalcyzk and Milier Ineligible; Wiscon- ■ sin Opens Dec. 10. Bii Timex Special, n „ .... MADISON, Wis., Nov. 26.—Wisconsin’s varsity basketball squad made its initial appearance before the public this week in a practice game with the frosh. The contest was won by "Doc” Meanwell’s boys, 47 to 9. This regulation game was the first of a series of three which are to be played before the season’s opener with Coe College Dec. 10. The Badgers sorely will miss the trio of veterans that have been lost recently on ineligibility rulings. These players, Tenhopen, Kowwalcyzk and Miller, were the three tallest and heaviest men on the squad. It was upon this trio that Meanwell relied for the weight and height needed to balance the lack of physique among the forwards, Andrews, Behr, Ellerman and Mattusen. Kowalyzsk is out for the entire season, but both Miller and Tenhopen have a chance of becoming eligible for completion at the close of the semester. “Bud” Foster, lanky sophomore, is filling in at center, while little George Nelson at present has the call at running guard. Risko Punches Way to Victory Against Paulino Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—Johnny Risko. Cleveland, won a decision over Paulino Uzcudun in ten rounds at Madison Square Garden Friday night.

It was an exciting scrap and pleased a crowd of 15,000. Jack Gross of Philadelphia won a ten-round decision over Sandy Seifert. Gross weighed 195, Seifert 188. In the other preliminaries, Yale Okun won a decision over Harold Mays; Willie Siegel stopped Billy Kennedy in one minute aitd twelve seconds, and Rosy Batout made it seven straight knockouts when he finished Andre Castanc in the first round.
