Eji Initf'l Pros CHICAGO, May 9.—As Tony Canzoneri and Andre Routis polished of! their training in preparation for their nontitular bout at the Chicago stadium here Friday night the New York Italian was quoted the favorite in the bettine odds by 6 to 5.

OWNERS of the four eastern A. A. clubs are beginning to rock on their heels and whistle mournfully, for it is becoming eivdent the class of the league is in the western half of the circuit. St. Paul, Kansas City and Minneapolis seem to have the old “it” and Milwaukee won’t be far behind when that club bolsters its pitching staff. tt a a The club batting average of the Indians is way down and now ibere are signs the defense is beginning to weaken.

The Preakness is a mile and threesixteenths, one-sixteenth shorter than the Derby route. Eligibles for the Kentucky Derby event, May 18, which can not stand the Preakness route will be considered out of the big event. Some of the greatest cults in the country will compete here Friday before a huge throng of turf lovers. Essare, the Jacques Cohen entry, probably will rule the favorite in Friday’s event. In his last time out Essare scored a decisive victory over Spear Rock and Royal Stranger. Dr. Freeland probably will also rate among the favorites and will be heavily backed. Minotaur, Leucite and Beacon Hill also are being well played and a great race may develop when the star thoroughbreds parade to the post for the rich Preakness event.

MUCH has been spilled around about the well-known “nineI teenth hole” at the golf courses, j Scenes in the locker rooms and ; caddy masters’ shops generally are | loaded with enough mirth to make one forget even the poorest of | scores. This is especially so at Broadmoor where George Soutar, veteran Scotchman, is club pro. Lesides learning his links game where it originated. George alw’ays gets a lot of fun out of his golf. Monday, the weekly pro-amateur was staged at Broadmoor. George had a kink between the shoulder blades and didn’t feel like battling the blustery winds which were sweeping across the course. Before the second foursome had finished it began to rain. tt tt tt Just about this time along came lanky Rov Robertson, pro at the new Sarah Shank course. He and his partners were dripping wet. George smilingly surveyed Robertson's six feet six and one-half inches and queried sharply: “What's the idea, Roy, of letting these fellows get caught. You’re far enough up there to give the whole outfit warning enough to make it to the clubhouse before they got wet.” tt tt tt That started the gang on Rov. Presently Count Rosasco piped up with the remark that, never again would he play with Robertson. “Roy got sore out there and played every shot, on one hole with a putter,” declared the count. "Sure I did," retorted Robertson. “I wanted to show you I could beat you with a putter. That's all the clubs I thought Id need.” Bv the time the last foursome had piled in. everyone was in a swell frame of mind and they dashed away looking forward to another Monday. tt B tt THE phone rang and an excited, crackling voice was heard at the other end. “S-Say—is this the fellow who writes the golf?’’ The voice faded away. Billy Moore, golf instructor at South Grove, took a hand at the opposite end and told us what it was about. Clyde Bowers, all excited and out of breath, just had run all the way to the club house to tell that his drive on the seventh hole had gone 338 yards to the green. a a Jack Merlin, fresh from a four of Europe. popped up at South Grove Wednesday for a trip around the fairways, he refers to as “homr." tt tt tt Harry Schornstein, new president of flip Pleasant Run Golf Club, seems to have instilled some new life in the east side organization. Harry went to work and dished out some nice features for the opening meeting. Seventy-three attended —and thev mostly were new and enthusiastic members. NATURALLY, they axe interested in a better Pleasant Run ccurse. Pleasant Run members hope the park board really meant what it said about that new modern $15,000 clubhouse. Because the park board and Herman Uebele. course manager. are busy at this time erecting new foot bridges across the creek on fairways four, nine and ten and also are building new tees on eight and nine, the club has hopes. Harry Schornstein and his aids are planning on a big year.
