YORK. Sept. 15—There is bound to be much gnashng of teeth and pounding of bosoms by the Tories of golf as a resuit ol the outiageous goings on at Brookline up Boston way. When the national amateur championship started this week the competing field embraced all the great names of golf, from gray 11. Chandler Egan of the 1900 school to gay Ceorge Dunlap of the NR A era. The gent who survived this test would be a real champion, an Olympian />f the bunkered fairways, in short, one swell guy. Os course there was that new system of playing the firstsix rounds at eighteen holes to consider —that might make a difference. Yes, that might make a big difference. a a a a a a eighteen hole matches! What they can do to a chappie if he isn’t hotter than a rhumba dancer's ankles! But still class ought ultimately to teU in this tournament. Take an ogle at all these champions: Francis Ouimet. Max Marston. Jcrnnny Goodman. Jc e Guilford. Dave Herron, Jess Sweetser. Chick E’. ans. Ross Somerville, Chandler Egan, Lawson Little. One of them must win. But if it so happens that one of them does not win, the conservatives of the gam** will revive, you can be sure, the enduring debate as to the practicability of eighteen holes as a legitimate and fair test of golf. a a a a a a TX) understand the controversial fever about this matter you must be 1 rrminded that there was a time, and not long ago. when all the rr. itches in the amateur championship were at thirty-six holes. Several years ago the thirty-six-hole matches were restricted to three rounds; a little later to two; the semi-final and the final, as exists today. Up to this year the players always qualified at the course where the lo In I pi This year there were no such qualification rounds, which are. in effect, both a sharpening up of mechanical : abilities and competitive capacities, a chance to get both the nerve and the niblick in shape. Instead the field started off cold. And one by one the heads of golf s nobility dropped into the basket. Ouimet’s first off. and ironically by a youngster named Bobby Jones, whose namesake was long a militant menace to the Boston man. Then M irston Guilford, Herron, Sweetser. Egan. Goodman, Dunlap and the others. All except Lawson Little. The ramage was terrific. ‘lts those eighteen hole matches.” moaned the moaners. a a a a a a INHERE are two sides to every question, and I find no less a guy than the original Bobby Jones <accept no substitute) stepping up to the tee and taking a full swing at the wicked eighteen-hole system. He can’t go for it. "I’ll admit eighteen holes make a more exciting show’,” says the one and only Bobby Jones <look for the trade-mark) “and this brings up the point—is the tournament a show or a test of golf? Luck plays too great a factor in the short matches. It evens up in the longer matches. That gives the real golfer a fair chance. Any fairly good club golfer is apt to go wild for one round, but not for two. whereas the scratch player can always be counted on to settle down after a patchy start. My chief argument against the eighteen-holp match is that it places too great a premium on a lucky spurt—and there’s always a frightful danger that a 76 golfer will explode a 69 in your unsuspecting face.” a a a a a a I’ll quickly concede that Bobby Jones (the McCoy) ought to know what he is mumbling about, but just the same I like those eighteen-hole matches, and if I had to make a choice between a show and a test of golf. Id vote for the show.

Shelby Downs Southport as Cathedral Triumphs Lid Is Lifted on Local High School Football; Irish Score at Will Against Peru. BY DICK MILLER Football took a bow locally yesterday afternoon and night with Southport high school gndders dropping a matinee engagement to Shelbyville. 14-7. at Southport, and Cathedral capturing an under-the-arc scoring bee by a topheavy 52-0 count over Peru in Butler bowl.

Unleashing an early running and pa.sing attack Coach J. M. McKeand's Shelbyville eleven counted twice in the first quarter and added both points after touchdown. Shortly after the first kickoff Ed Page of Shelbyville passed to Snider and he galloped forty-five yards to the goal line. Watters plunged for the extra point. Before the first quarter ended Shelbyville tallica another. Trees recovered a Cardinal fumble on Southport's 35-yard line, and on the next scrimmage Dutting 6ut oack over right tackle and ran the distance to goal. Don Page plunged for the extra point. Langley Goes Over Play of Southport to this point was extremely unorganized, but the suburban boys, who were undefeated last year, snapped into form, and after an exchange of punts in the second quarter took the ball down the field in a steady march with Wine hell and Langley carrying the oval most of the time, and Langley scoring. Johns plunged for the extra point. Play in the last half was mostly in midfield. Coach Joe Dienhart paraded ju? a smooth working aggregation for the edification of some 3 500 spectators who watched the night tilt in Butler bowl. Using a half dozen plays and four teams, the Irish mentor distributed eight touchdowns, two to each quarter, and kept the game interesting to the fans who got thrills out of seeing Cathedral, run. pass, block and kick. McMahon and Golay each tallied two touchdowns for the Irish ar.d Swindler. McNamara. Bauer and Holmes one each. Holmes an 4 Bauer tallied two extra points each. Rrncterick Stars on Defense Charlie Broderick was the star of a stiff Cathedral defense that repulsed all Peru efforts to get within scoring distance. Many of the Cathedral long runs were due directly to fine blocking by Bob Holmes. Golay s two touchdowns being after runs from the center of the field. Bauer intercepted a pass to score another run of nearly fifty yards. Next Friday night the Cathedral eleven will tackle the Elwood Panthers in the Butler bowl. Elwood and Nobles ville. both reputed to have strong elevens this year, battled to a scoreless tie last nicht. Up in the far north Elkhart scored an important 14-0 victory over De Lasaile. w hich indicates the Blue Blazers are strong this fall. Waiter Fisher trotted out a finished eleven at Muncie last night that passed, ran. blocked and tackled with equal brilliance and the Muncie mentor chalked up another victory over his brother George of Warsaw. 24-0. Wabash. Franklin Win The Wabash high school machine pounded out a 22-0 win over Kokomo and Frankfort a 13-0 win over Logansport. both results being somewhat of early season surprises. Bud Surface. ex-FrankUn star and n-w coach at Seymour got off to a g.od start with a 7-0 win over Bloomington while Newcastle, under anew coaching regime, defeated Anderson, an old rival, 12-6. Orville Hooker. ex-Newcastle coach, hung up a 13-1 win over Bill Bugg's Plainfield aggregation, another battle between ex-Butler stars as coaches. Bloomington. 111., invaded the Hoosier state to gain a 6-0 win over Vincmnes.

Makes 25-Foot Putt Little sent the galleries cheering on the home green after his approach just trickled onto the carpet, and he W’as left with a twenty-five-foot putt. Goldman needed three to get home. Little ran down his twenty-five-foot putt for a birdie. Goldman had a great birdie on the first hole, a magnificent approach leaving him with a six-foot putt. But the match was squared at the second where Goldman dribbled uphill In the rough, finally taking four to get home, while Little had a par 4. Goldman was never better than even after that. Goldman was even coming to the ninth tee, but put his second out of bounds and lost the hole, 6to 4. Goldman sank a nice 20-foot putt for a deuce on the twelfth. He lost the next hole when he trapped his second and they halved the next three. Pulls Into Woods Goldman pulled into the woods to go 4 down at the seventeenth, and was 5 down after Lawson’s great birdie at the eighteenth.

'T'AKEN twelve years ago, when J- he started his baseball career as mascot for a sandlot team at Hainesville, La., the picture at left shows Schoolboy Rowe at the age of 10, left, with his mother and brother* Mark, 8. Right, above is a closeup of Rowe's mother, Mrs. Ruby McGlothin, as she appeared recently just before she left Dallas, Texas, for Detroit, where she will visit her famous son, Lynwood star of the Tiger mound staff. ‘‘l rather would not speak ol son (she always refers to Schoolboy as son) getting married,’’ she said. “Too much already has been said about that.’’ Like most mothers, it is difficult for her to realize that her son has grown up. “I whipped son with a broom four years ago—and he stood it like a man,” she asserted. “He and ‘baby’ (Mark Rowe, 20-year-old brother of Schoolboy, who is even bigger than the pitcher—were playing mumblepeg, and when ‘baby’ started to root the peg, son pushed his head down in the dirt.” It might here be remarked that Schoolboy probably would hesitate before pushing Mark's head into the dirt now. The latter is a Mississippi oil driller and plenty powerful.

Welter Title Scrap Halted Fourth Time Ross-McLarnin Go Delayed Until Monday Night as Rain Continues. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—The world welterweight title fight between Champion Barney Ross and challenger Jimmy McLarnin, slated for tonight, was postponed today for the fourth time because of rain. It will be held Monday night. BV THEON WRIGHT United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Sept. 15.—Hardjawed little Jimmy McLarnin, once the baby-faced destroyer of ring champions, will take his knucklestudded fists into Madison Square Garden's big Long Island bowl tonight for another try at welterweight champion Barney Ross — a champion Jimmy couldn't destroy. Rain, which thrice delayed the proceedings, will have to come down in large lumps to halt tonight’s brawl. It was drizzling early today but the Garden and Christmas fund promoter who are putting on the show’ have announced tnat drizzles will not count. Betting Is Brisk Wagering on the fight is more brisk than any this year, including the Baer-Carnera match. Ross is the favorite at 7 to 5, and there are many who believe this will mark the end of the trail for glim-lipped Jimmy. The Irish terror of yesteryear will know tonight whether those explosive fists that strewed prize rings with classic wreckage over the past half dozen years, are still the weapons of a killer or the battle-scarred relics of an exchampion. If McLarnin loses, he probably will quit the ring. Those who think he will lose have just one big argument: Ross, the only fighter who ever held both lightweight and welter crowms at the same time, is the same young man who knocked the championship hat off McLarnins head last May, the first time out against Jimmy. The peppery little Chicago stockyard socker outstepped and. outfought McLarnin that time.’ He was a blazing machine-gun of rapid-fire hitting. He took McLarnin’s hardest punches and kept going. McLarnin Backers Confident And they naturally ask: “What has happned since to change .things?” McLarnin's backers, who are supporting their opinion with surprisingly large hunks of cash, have two answers. First, McLarnin will go into tonight’s fight with no weight strings except the welterweight limit of 147 pounds. Last time he had to make 145 pounds under a private agreement with Ross, and undershot his mark, coming in at 142. Secondly, there are quite a few—including Jimmy—who think McLarnin won last time. The delay has done little damage to the seat sales. Advance sales have totalled $130,000, and a gate of $200,000 is predicted.
