Plan Limit on Gloves Competition

A MOVE 1s now under way to limit Golden Gloves competition to four years in the Open class and to limit championships to two : years at any one weight. . . . Many of the centers are sending repeaters to Chicago year after year and the “old men” are going to be weeded out. ; % Boxing fans want new faces and even ‘in Chicago they boo their own boys who have been around ‘too long. wr . » » » x GOLDEN GLOVES competition is strictly amateur and it is the * consensus of the managers of the teams that go ‘to Chicago that + boys can become slap-happy even by spending too many years ©. throwing leather and absorbing punishment.

Entries in for Santa Anita

* And Skies Turn Blue

2 Bag tt ARCADIA, Cal, Mareh 1 (U. P.). —The names of the horses who go tomorrow in the sixth Santa Anita Handicap were dropped through the little white entry box today amidst predictions that the eventual ~. field wculd be the smallest in the “history of the $100,000 classic. § Owners and trainers gathered for ~~ the entry ceremonies early in the morning and waited to draw for post positions after the deadline ¢ passed All through the eariy hours they watched the sky with fingers crossed against the possible recurrence of rain. , As the slips dropped one by one, =. the skies were blue and the track was drying fast. It was softened by showers Wednesday night, but it was middling between slow and good this morning as the sun, the wind and ground crews equipped with sponges and a giant salamander went to work. Unless it rains again the track will prcbably be fast by race time— 6:20 p. m. (Indianapolis Time). If it is, then the citizens of Los Angeles andsenvirons will be solidly back of Seabiscuit in the race that can make the C. S. Howard star the richest money winning horse ever bred. . : Seabiscuit’s price has been sink- ~~ ing ever since he won the $10,000 San Antonio Handicap last Saturday in a breeze and he and his South American stablemate, Kayak II, are expected to waiver between 6-5 and even money when the ~~ bugler sends them away on the mile and a quarter chase. That price will be much lower than those of the other contenders. The Biscuit and Kayak ended work ~ In top condition and many experts : are picking them to finish one-two. - Seabiscuit was clocked in 1:00 3-5 handily for a haif in the mud while Kayak went the same distance in + 1:01 1-15 with Buddy Haas, his new Jockey, in. the saddle for the first time, Haas said he was satisfied. : = Howard announced that both - horses would run, come what may

perfectly:

in the way of Weather, and trainer Tom Smith said that the stable was declaring to win with the Bis-

cuit. ‘That means that Kayak II

will not be pushed to win unless Seabiscuit is obviously beaten. The Biscuit needs only $26,664 to supplant’ the Sun Beau mark, and first money in the Santa Anita is around $90,000. . * = * Back of the hig boys, vying for second position, are Heelfly, Whichcee. and ‘Specify. The former, a sharp horse now, is a good stretch runner but is facing one disadvantage. His jockey, Georgie Woolf, still is four pounds over-weight and the Circle S nominee may be forced to come in at 118 instead of the 114 he was assigned. Whichcee and Specify get a play because they are front-runners who usually manage io save ground and stay out of troue.

Demaret Bankroll

Swelled by $700

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Match 1 (U. P.).—Steady-shooting Jimmy Demaret of Houston, Tex., put $700 more in his sweiling bank account today, the winner's share in the $3000 St. Petersburg open golf tournament. Demaret, leading money winner on the professional's winter swing, hung up his third straight tournament victory yesterday by edging Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., with a 54-hole score of 211. Nelson finished a stroke back. It was Demaret’s fifth tournament victory of the season. . Nelson's. _second-prize money was $450. Stanley Horne of Montreal was third with 213, followed by four linksmen in: the 214 bracket— Jimmy Turnesa of Providence, R. I., Ben Hogan of White Plains, N. Y.,

Another of the first night's victims was Peru, picked by most of the experts to win their own sectional. The Tigers, however, found a crew from out in the county, Clay Township, much too tough and lost, 37 to 29. Fans of the southside Archers of Ft. Wayne should find some solace in this upset, however, as the coach of ‘the Peru five is none other than Mr. Clare Holley, who last year led his Ossian quint to the biggest up-

set of the year, a triumph aver Ft. | Wayne South, a title favorite, in the

regionals. Other results last night, although some of them were surprising, ran

{about true to form. The Win-

chester sectional found one of its three favorites, Saratoga, which had lost only one game in regular season play, eliminated by Union City, another favorite, 28 to 21. Winchester, third in the select list, advanced by trimming Spartanburg, 47 to 35, and meets Union City at 4 p. m. today.

Ft. Wayne South Wins

Ft. Wayne South romped to a 58 to 33 victory over Lafayette Central. .Leo, a- South Side rival for sectional honors, downed Jefferson Center, 49 to 27. In other northern games favored Liberty = Center downed the host Bluffton five to apparently cinch the crown, Auburn walloped Butler, 44 to 13, on the Butler floor, Bourbon, favored for the Plymouth crown, tripped West Township, 45 to 23.

Central Favorites Came Through

Central sector favorites came out about as expected. Anderson, involved in the screwiest game of the night, ran into a determined stalling battle from Frankton, but emerged safely, 13 to 4. Indianapolis Tech dropped a 24 to 22 decision to Decatur Central on a-field goal that was in the air when the gun went off. . Seymour whipping Scipio, the county champion, 51 to 23, to just about clinch the Seymour throne. Muncie Burris took Reyerton, 34 to 20. Tioton trounced Goldsmith, 55 to 31. Frankfort crushed Mulberry, 41 to 19. Vincennes ground Wheatland, 55 to 19. Marion overpowered Jonesboro, 35 to 20. Columbus pounced on Boggstown, 52 to 22. Martinsville hammered Eminence, 55 to 38, but McGinnis of Eminence, a nephew of Glen Curtis, former Artesian coach, poured through 27 points for the tourney’s individual high to date. In the northern section South (Bend Central and Mishawaka, as rexpected, won at the Mishawaka series with the Bears taking New Carlisle, 29 to 15, and the Maroons climbing Madison Township, 54 to 31. La Porte tripped Kingsbury, 47 to 28. In the Calumet region Gary. Froebel downed Kouts, 58 to 14 and Gary Tolleston massacred Chesterton, 53 to 15. = Hammond Tech took Dyer, 37 to 21.
