Jenkins, a Visitor to the Fair, Gets a Crack at Light Title

He Only Asked for Nickle-and-Dime Fights Until—; But Ambers Is Still a 13-to-5 Favorite

By HARRY

FERGUSON

United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, May 10.—Ten months ago he was a gaunt ghost haunting prize fight promoters in search of nickle-and-dime bouts, but tonight Lew Jenkins, the dynamite kid from

Texas, takes a shot at the lightweight championship of the!

world.

The distance is 15 rounds, the place is Madison Square

Garden and the man in the other corner is the light-

weight king, Lou Ambers, a rough, mean little guy whose reputation has made him a 13 to § favorite. Jenkins doesn’t mind being the under dog in the betting. He's get-

ting used to it now, for he has been |

the under dog for quite some time in the battle of life. Ten months ago he clattered into town in an antique automobile, hoping for nothing more than a couple of fights in small clubs that would get him some gasoline money and the price of admission to the World's Fair for himself and his wife, Katie. Katie was his manager in those days, and they didn’t set the big] town on fire at the start. Jenkins out-pointed Baby Breese twice and Joey Fontana once in small club] fights, but nothing happened right! away to bring him to the attention of men who could give him the big money shots. Then it happened — somewhere and somehow Jenkins became a killer, found a knockout punch in!

Help Your Golf Game—No. 11

By J. E. O'BRIEN Most of the pros interviewed in this series agree that the etiquette of golf is as important as the correct stance, grip and use of

| the various clubs

The code of correct behavior is a pleasant one, easily understood and designed for the allaround enjoyment of the game. The principle of the etiquette of golf is consideration for your fellow players, whether they be partners or opponents. The first rule to be observed is never to move, talk or stand close to a player making a stroke. You are expected to make yourself as unobtrusive as possible when another player is “at bat” A second point to be remembered is that the player who has the honor ~—that is, who shot the lowest score on the previous hole— should be allowed to play before his opponent tees the ball. Courtesy demands that no player should shoot until the party in front is out of range. Don't underestimate your hitting limits. A golf ball, after all, is hard and moves with plenty of speed. On the other hand, players should leave the putting-green imme-

Here's How to Behave

diately after the result of the hole has been determined. Should you or any member of

your golfing party lose a ball, you should allow other matches to play through. After the ball has ‘been found, don't forget to give the party playing through sufficient time to get out of range. A good sportsman always tries to leave the turf and playing ground in the condition he finds it. Divots should be replaced and pressed down, while all holes made in a bunker should be filled. Players also should see that their caddies do not injure the holes by standing close to them when the ground is soft or in replacing the flagstick.

golf are these: A player who has incurred a penalty should intimate the fact to his opponent as seon as possible. And players at all times should play without undue delay. These rules, you see, are simple | and easily understood. You'll find your game more enjoyable if you follow them.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last in Mr. O'Brien's series of golfing articles, And now the rest is up te you.)

3 A. A. Players Are Fined

Two Punished for Fray In Kansas City

COLUMBUS, O., May 10 (U. P.). —George M. Trautman, president of the American Association, imposed his first fines of the 1940 baseball season today when he assessed a total of $40 against three players. First Baseman Phil Weintraub of Minneapolis was fined $10 for using abusive language, “audible to the stands” in an argument with Umpire James McCutcheon on May 6 at Minneapolis. Manager Bill Meyer of Kansas City and Catcher Walker Cooper of Columbus were fined $10 each for their part in a fight at Kansas City last Saturday in a game between Columbus and the Kaws. Cooper was fined for starting the scrap while Meyer was reprimanded for failure “to assist in maintaining necessary order and discipline on the playing field.” Meyer drew a second $10 penalty for a run-in on May 6 with Umpire George Johnson at Kansas City.
