Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Feb. 11.—Frow now on, the sleek haired, befrilled young men who make up the professional golf fraternity will have to get along on what they make by the sweat of their mashie niblicks. The Federal Trade Commission, In passing a lav/ prohibiting the ac-

ceptance of special fees for using any particular golf ball to the exclusion of another, delivered a low blow to a vulnerable spot in the region of the young men’s bankroll. For years, manufacturers of golf balls and golf implements have made a practice of carrying the outstanding

WUliams

stars of the professional gentry on their pay roli. In sketchy detail the practice worked out this way, e a tt Mr. Joe Doakes, professional of the Slice and Hook Country Club signed a contract at the beginning of the season agreeing to use only such materials as were produced by the party of the first part. tt an OBVIOUSLY Mr. Doakes was a golfer of parts. Generally he was the champion. Inferentially much of Iris skill and attendant success were traceable to the fact he used a certain golf ball and swung a certain golf stick. At the conclusion of a triumphant tournament Mr. Doakes, remembering the terms of his contract, would issue a formal statement to the effect that his victory would have been impossible without the great moral comforts and spiritual support afforded by the spotted duckling ball and the hand-cooked driving iron. Blushingly, Mr. Doakes would i-dd: "They made me what I am today.” After which he would take the meager SSOO which represented first prize in the championship, toss it flippantly to his caddy and drive • er to the golf manufacturer’s office to collect the heavy swag. That, indeed, used to be the life. a But no more. The manufacturer.?, originators of the practice, arc through. Apparently the practice is too costly. In the beginning there were only two or three of the boys to take care of. Now there are more golf headliners than Mrs. Astor can shake an o/trich plume hat at. a a a IN some Instances these stars drew salaries and incidental fees amounting to SI,OOO a year. The rompetition being what it is, with ten or fifteen players having a chance to win the National Open, a manufacturer who wanted to be reasonably sure his product would wind up on top, had to have most cf the top rankers on his pay roll. -w There always was a chance, too, that a rival manufacturer would come along and raise the ante. So what was in the beginning a novel and interesting advertising gesture presently took on the proportions of big business. Too dam big. in fact. The only way out was to stop it. In order to safeguard their own treasures, eleven manufacturers appealed to the Federal Trade Commission the other day and petitioned that a rule be passed forbidding the practice. it tt It was passed and now the sleek-haired, befrilled young men who made a livelihood out of golf find themselves amputated from what has. In recent years, been the most important source of their revenue.

Canzoneri Is New World’s Feather King Tony Shows Poorly in Title Encounter With Benny Bass. BY FRANK GETTY. United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 11.—Tony Canzoneri is the first Brooklyn fighter to win the world’s featherweight championship since Terry McGovern. And right there the resemblance ends. The little Italian is recognized today by all the boxing commissions, athletic associations, Y. M. C. A's. and manufacturers of boxing equipment as the 126-pound title holder, but this will not convince those who saw his unsatisfactory contest with Benny Bass of Philadelphia, in Madison Square Garden Friday night. For Tony, while he piled up enough points to justify his being declared the winner at the end of fifteen rounds, failed in every other .way to show championship calibre. Canzoneri can't hit, and can’t "take it” any too well in the stomach. Bass would have made an equally poor champion if he had hammered his way to the judges’ nod. When things are going his way, he is a devastating two-fisted destroyer. And when he gets a poke in the nose, he joins the six-day bike riders. Bass was out in front at the start of Friday night's affair, but eight seconds before the end of the third round Canzoneri whipped over a right and then a left to the jaw which sent Benny sprawling against the ropes, dazed and hurt. The hell saved him, at the count of eight and restoratives brought him around in time for the fourth. Instead of tearing in and finishing his man, Canzoneri was content to spar and jab and feint for openings. Had he known it, Bass was ripe for a finishing punch, for when the Philadelphian went down he fractured his collarbone about an from the breast bone. The injury was not apparent, but was verified by boxing commission physicians after the bout. Even with his broken collarbone. Bass came back toward the end of the bout to have Tony doubled up in pain from savage body punches.

The Hoofs and Shinbones win three games from the Eyes and Hides while the Teeth took two from the Ears In the Elks League games at the club alleys.

Off the * I Backboard *—By Norman E. Isaacs —

THE annual city independent amateur sectional tournament will get under way at Tomlinson Hall Monday night and is scheduled to wind up next Saturday night. That’s a whole week of basketball for Indianapolis’ youthful sport followers, and we don't mind saying that we're mighty pleased at the number of teams which will compete in the meet. Thirty-two teams means approximately three hundred participants. Three hundred boys in one event is no mean figure and we really hope that as the independent branch o fthe sport grows it will take on more r A Hie aspect of the square-shooting college and high school game. The tournament next week should develop some real struggles. We're picking the St. Philips, College Cubs and State Auto Insurance to battle it out in the upper bracket with the Ramblers and Y. M. H. A. starring in the lower frame. tt tt tt Herbert H. Edwards, of West Newton, Irak, broke into the Illinois lineup against Northwestern the other night when the lUini dropped the Wildcat.! in a real upset. It was Edwards’ first time in the varsity lineup in Big Ten competition. He weighs 190 pounds and stands an inch over six feet and is quite likely to grab himself a regular berth. tt tt tt TECHNICAL will be bumping into real competition at the Armory tonight against Anderson. The Staggmen are just rounding into tournament form and should "take” the locals by about eleven points. Tim Campbell has done a wonderful job this year and has developed a smart club, which has as its most effective threat a beautiful delayed offense. That offense, mind you, does not conflict with our pet grievance, the stall. Technical’s style of play resolves itself into a calm, deliberate manner of attempting to draw the opposing defense out and to work for close-in shots. a a Butler probably will reach a real combative stage tonight against Notre Dame. The Irish have iome of the greatest basket performers in college circles, but the Bulldogs, with an army of powerful reserve strength, deserve the favorite’s niche. a tt MANUAL and Broad Ripple meet tonight at the Ripple floor. The Orange and Black, with several veterans and fine offensive strength should win that one. Manual, tt is to be regretted, hasn't very much, this year. The Red and White have a clean, hard-fighting group of boys this year, but a tough schedule has reaped havoc with the South Siders and very few "breaks” have come their way. The lads haven’t had much support aside from the rooting of their teammates and coach on the bench. The student body hasn’t done the proper thing this year and has failed to turn out to help the boys along with a few cheers. Because, after all, cheers do help the frame of mind of a team.

Although Conger’s time. 2:37. was more than ten seconds slower than Hahn's record, the final spring between Conger and Peltzer more than made up for any slowness in the race. Friday night’s race, the feature of the Illinois A. C. games, marked Peltzer’s first appearance in Chicago ana his second apearance in the United States. Peltzer, who had taken the lead from Leo Larivee in the sixth and final lap, finished fully six yards behind the sprinting Conger.
