VTEW YORK, Dec. 24.—1 tis regrettable to note that the annual sports reviews now jamming the news columns fail to achieve a note of complete completeness. To be sure the exploits of the various gladiators are duly and dramatically chronicled but the interpretive, philosophical and spiritual elements are coldly ignored. For instance, what human reaction caused Mr. Max Baer to surrender to a fit of hysterical laughter every time he punched Primo Camera in the snout that night over in the Garden bowl? Was this an expression of a severe sadistic nature or was it a hilarious realization of what a soft business prizefighting is these days? I am reminded, incidentally, that 1934 was a season of unrestrained merriment in the sports temples, a fact which has not received the tribute it seems to deserve. Clearly apart from the profound features involved, the victorious athletes seem to take a knavish delight in laughing at their victims. a a a a a a THERE should be some sort of yearly orize for the athlete who appeared to get the most fun out of chores. I am not sure whether the prize would go to Mr. Baer or to Ir. Dizzy Dean, the Cardinals’ delightful hero. If it was a pleasure for Mr. Baer to butcher Camera it was a positive job for Mr. Dean to humiliate the Detroit batters. I can well imagine that our Mr. Hank Greenberg of the Bronx is still squirming in his misery from the effects of Mr. Dean's audacious behavior in the world series. Mr. Dean would take a full wind up, let the ball go. turn his back and laugh in his gloved hand even before the ball was struck at. Had our Mr Greenberg reached into his hip pocket, pulled out an automatic and pistoled Mr. Dean to death on the spot he would have been acquitted in any court in the land on the ground of justifiable homicide. No ball player ever was so cruelly tormented in public, no batter ever had his weakness so brazenly exploited. If I were our Mr. Greenberg I would never speak to that awful Dizzy person again as long as I lived. a a a a a a IN looking back over the year in sports, it should not be forgotten that Mr. George Lott, the amateur tenniser who recently turned square by becoming a forthright professional, introduced the jocular note into the prim and prissy game of international tennis this year, and so effective was the note that even the Queen of England indulged in a brief royal titter. This was when Mr. Lott, assuming his match with Borotra was ended, rushed to the net with his right hand extended in a gesture of sporting sympathy for the vanquished, only to hear the linesman veto what appeared to be the winning shot. Instead of returning to play, Mr. Lott, who is what Ls technically known as a card, anyway, walked all around the court with his hand still extended as if he just must shake hands with somebody. This scarcely represents the apogee of humorous pantomime but it was practically devastating in an international tennis match. And as I say, the queen seemed to get quite a belt out of it, which was fortunate for Mr. Lott because if his buffoonery hadn’t received the tacit approval of the good lady the chances are he would promptly have been kicked off the team bv the American officials, who take their tennis with a very starchy seriousness. a a a a a a UNHAPPILY all was not light and gayety in sports last season. Here and there the spirit of rancor and discord reared its ugly head to spray the clean, healthy a’raosphere with fumes of social poison. Once again our millionaire sportsmen demonstrated that their ability to squawk was as expert and fluent, if not more so than the hooligans in the 10 cent seats. So many fouls were called and claimed in the international yacht race between Mr. Harold 'Mike) Vanderbilt and Mr. T. O. M. (Tom) Sopwith of England that for a while the writing gentlemen imagined themselves to be watching a prizefight between suffering Phil Scott and whining Jack Sharkey. a a a a a a I NOTE by the daily newspapers that the race committee of the New York Yacht Club, the most j>ontifical organization in sports, has succ?eded in making out a very good case for American sportsmanship, even to the presentation of photographic evidence which purports to prove tnat the Englishman refused to break clean, hit below the belt and bit in the clinches. Thus the ideals and principles for which our forefathers bled and died in the early Puritan days seemingly has been confirmed, the New York Yacht Club rules the waves, ana Mr. T O. M. 'Tom) Sopwith is just a mean old meanie, who uses lemon in his tea and can’t appreciate a good joke, even if there was a good jcke to appreciate.

Scorch Fairways to Capture Glory and Gold

Many New Golf Champs Crowned During 1934 Stanford Student Rates as Outstanding Links Star of Year by Winning Top Amateur Titles. By United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 24. —W. Lawson Little, burly, steel-nerved Stanford University student, was the outstanding golfer in the world during 1934. In a season that left champions strewn by the wayside, the 24-year-old long-shot belter from the Pacific Coast barged through the British and U. S. Amateur championships to take his place beside Harold Hilton and Bobby Jones, his only predecessors to capture both in a single year.

Dec. 24—Vince Dundee, former middleweight boxing champion, will meet Paul Pirrone of Cleveland at the Arena here Jan. 14.

Hilton, an Englishman, squeezed through in 1911 and Jones repeated the “impossible” in 1930. But not even the Great Jones duplicated Little's scoring, a rampage of par-cracking that deprived oppr .eats of every chance. \ comparative unknown, Little anquished James Wallace, a ship carpenter with a week off for golf, in the British Amateur at Prestwick by 14 and 13, a record score, and equalled the course record on the first 18 of the final 36 with a 66, to bring the championship, held by Hon. Michael Scott in 1933, back to the United States. Breaks Par in U. S. Final Upon his return home, Little began preparations for the U. S. Amateur and, co-incidentally, was matched again in the final with an artisan, Dave “Spec” Goldman, Dallas ‘.Tex.) carpenter, playing in his first major tournament. In their final at Brooklin, Mass., Little succeeded George T. Dunlap as champion and won the two major championships in a single year by whipping Goldman 8 and 7, with a par-shattering 69 in the morning round and a 34 on the first nine Li the afternoon. Miss Virginia Van Wie, Chicago, beat Miss Dorothy Traung, the 20-year-old San Francisco girl, at Chestnut Hills, Pa., in the Women’s National final by 2 and 1 to remain the queen of America golf. The other repeater was Albert C. “Scotty” Campbell in the 1934 Canadian Amateur. The Seattle golfer is among the few to win the event twice in a row. Dutra New Open King The U. S. Open found anew champion in Olin Dutra, who stands 6 feet, 3 inches and weighs 230 pounds, and smiles his way through adversity. Despite a stomach ailment he won with a one-stroke advantage over Gene Sarazen at the Merion Cricket Club, Philadelphia. The British Open went back to Britain, when Henry Cotton, a Britisher, serving as pro at a Brussels, i Belgium) club, broke the United States’ 10-year hold on the championship by scoring a 283 at St. George’s, a score that equalled Sarazen's record performance at Prince’s in 1932. Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. Y., an ex-farmer boy from Hot Springs, Ark., added to the dethronements, winning the Professional Golfers Championship, by eliminating Craig Wood, Deal, N. J., after two extra holes of a 36-hole final at Buffalo. In the Canadian Oren Tommy Armour came through stiff early competition to win and dethroned Joe Kirkwood, winner in 1933. Team competition during the year added to United States domination, with the home forces capturing the Walker Cup for the eighth time in a row, and American wome.i defeating Britons again in the Curtis Cup matches. Michigan Grid man Wounded in Quarrell By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—Stanley Frankowski, 22, varsity football j player of the University of Michigan, was shot in the head last night in a quarrel outside a North Side dance hall.

Sports Editors Predict More Gloom for Boxing Few Voting in United Press Poll See Chance for Early General Upturn in Fistic Game. By United Prexx NEW YORK, Dec. 24. Boxing, the tough kid of sports, finds its stocking filled to overflowing with gloom this Christmas. In denouncing phenagling, racketeering, prevalence of politics, lack of heavyweight talent and general apathy within the ropes, sports editors of the nation point to the past year in boxing as a tip-off to 1935 and predict that, if anything, retrogression will be more marked.

The blight of chiseling and racketeering has killed public confidence, the editois believe. Only 39 of 302 voting in a United Press poll see a chance for an upswing soon. Eliminate the numerous evils and there might be a comeback within a decade, as 138 others view it. Certain doom is predicted by 125. A few relegate boxing, as it is conducted now, to a place beneath wrestling. The poll furnishes what is probably the most pointed and sweeping denunciation ever levelled at any sport. In reply to what would be the best fight that could be arranged during 1935, 92 vote Eaer-Hamas, 46 BaerSchmeling, 44 Baer-Carnera, 18 Baer and his brother, Buddy. But in nearly every instance remarks are added tc indicate that, in the opinion of the editors, no show will approach a real spectacle. Thirtyfour editors say there isn't a match in sight.

Stanford Five to Play Irish During Week Notre Dame Foe Reported to Have One of Best Teams on Coast. Bn Times Special SOUTH BEND. Ind., Dec. 24.—The first contest between Stanford and Notre Dame since the Irish won a 27-to-10 football victory over the western school ten years ago. will be played here Wednesday night on the basketball court. The Stanford netters are on a two-weeks’ invasion which will take them against several midwestern teams. According to reports. Stanford has one of the strongest basketball teams in the school’s history. Coach John Bunn has twelve men on his squad, several of them new players who have outclassed last year's veterans. Rod Bost, senior forward, is the mainstay of the Indians. Other members of the first five are Howell Turner, sophomore forward, who averaged 15 points a game last year with the freshman team; Kenneth Nobs, center, and Alfred Page and Wytze Gorter, guards. Two stars of last year’s Stanford net team—Keith Topping and Carl Schott —are working out x with the football team for the New Year's Day game with Alabama. Coach Bunn, a former Kansas star under Phog Allen, has been coaching basketball at Stanford since 1930. He expects his present quintet to make a strong bid for the Pacific Coast title this season. BOUSSUS DOWNS TERRY By United Press SYDNEY, Australia, Dec. 24. Christian Boussus, France, defeated Fred Perry, Great Britain, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, today in a triangular French-British-Australian tennis tournament.
