Fashioning a bigger and better Golden Gloves amateur

|boxing tournament, The Times

and Bruce Robison Post of the American Legion today completed arrangements with Butler University for the use of the spacious Fieldhouse for this year’s leather-tossing

event, the ninth renewal. The dates are Jan. 17, 23, 31, Feb. 7, 14. All dates are Friday except the second show to be held on Thursday. Friday, Jan. 24 was unavailable because Butler meets Franklin in basketball here that night. With the fieldhouse serving as the Golden Gloves Punch Bowl, the ticket problem of past tourneys will be eliminated. There will be seats for all comers, both reserved and unreserved, since the huge arena has four times the seating capacity of

the National Guard Armory which housed past Golden Gloves events.

will permit a third price scale for tickets, 25 cents upstairs general admission. Downstairs prices will be announced later.

Champ Sgro in Khaki

Mobilization of Indiana National Guard troops has been announced

Armory to Golden Gloves. Incidentally, Joe Sgro, the local 1940 Golden Gloves lightweight chamion of the English Avenue Boys’ Club, is a member of the Guard and

tion and will do his training in khaki instead of trunks. More power to the dandy little boxer! The tournament will be fought in

{two classes: Open, for the experi-

enced lads; Novice, for the beginners. Weight divisions are 112 pounds, flyweights; 118, bantam;

160, middle; 175, light heavy; unlimited, heavy. Reserved seat tickets will go on sale downtown just as soon as the fieldhouse setup is—completed and given to the printers.

Three-Round Bouts

All tournament bouts will be over the three-round route, two minutes to the round and to a decision of the referee and two judges. Sixteen champions will be crowned, eight in the Open class, eight in the Novice. The Open champions will be taken on a four-day trip to Chicago and compete in the Tournament of Golden Gloves Champions at Chicago Stadium Feb. 24, 25, 26 under the auspices of the Tribune Charities, Inc. The Times-Legion tourney is staged on a -charity basis. For its Clothe-A-Child Christmas fund, The Times receives 40 per cent of the net receipts. The Bruce Robison Post uses 60 per cent for American Legion philanthropies.

142 Children Clothed

Out of the 1940 Golden Gloves receipts The Times clothed 142 needy children last Santa Claus day. Needless to say, therefore, complimentary tickets are taboo for this year’s event, except, of course, for newspapers coverage purposes. Many of the Golden Gloves candidates have been in training for a couple of weeks and others are urged to get down to hard work at once. Time is short before the slambang fireworks begin a week from Friday night.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.~You may recall the critic’s comment on a film of some years back, a film called the Covered Wagon. The critic wrote it was all right if you liked covered wagons. Professional tennis is something like, that, too. It’s all right if you like tennis. Obviously a great many people do. There was a large and starchy crowd in The Garden last night to see the Marble Girl give Pgymalion reverse twist an turn to dough, It took $25,000 to lure _her from the silver mugs and generous - expense accounts of amature tennis. : Less informally, the Marble Gal is known as Alice Marble and the promoters of this new professional tour modestly bill her as the greatest woman player in the history of the sport. If you except Susie Lenglen and Helen Wills Moody Roark the characterization bly ¥s accurate.

Fanfare Open Show

True, she beat Mary Hardwick, a British girl, who also turned to dough for the tour, but there were times when she scarcely looked the art of an invincible. She won in straight sets, 8-6, 8-6, but as the score suggests, she wasn’t blowing anybody off the court. The professionals go in for what they call showmanship. When Miss | © Hardwick appeared they threw a spotlight on her and raised the British flag and from somewhere deep in the caverns of the old fight arena came the strains of God Save The King. They gave Miss Marble the same ‘send off against an American background. Everybody seemed thrilled and emotional about it. Personally we don’t like to see these two flags, more sacred today to all. of us than ever, used as props by professional promoters. Bill Tilden and Don Budge make up the rest of the cast.

Tilden Still Good

Mr. Tilden was in his element. He was Ike an old ham who had somehow got another chance to sparkle gn his beloved Broadway. He mugged all over the place, and the customers loved it. He glared at the linesmen in protest against decisions, he coyly threw his racquet at balls on impossible returns; he clasped his hands in "prayerful attitude, beseeching kinder treatment from his own particular gods and near the finish .of his losing match he imperially ordered the cameramen to stay away from the sidelines. = It was grade A pork served with characteristic Tilden touches. Budge won in straight sets, handily enough, but there was sufficient Tilden genius on display to evoke

Strikes to Spare

By FREDDIE FISCHER World All-Events Champion A game in bowling is composed of 10 frames, in each of which the bowler is allowed two balls to topple the 10 pins. . If the player knocks down less than 10 pins with two balls, it is marked this way (9—) on the score sheet. If he makes a spare—bringing down all the pins with two balls, he counts 10, plus the number of pins knocked down with the first ball of the succeeding frame. The spare is marked this way (/) on the score sheet. If the player makes a’ strike with his first ball, he counts 10, plus the number of pins knocked down with the next two balls. A strike is marked with an X on the score sheet like this:

roo

If the bowler gets another strike in the next frame, the score sheet shows two crosses. But we still cannot count up, as only two balls have been rolled. Next, assume the bowler knocks down nine pins with the first ball and makes the spare with his second. For the first frame, he takes 10, plus 10 for the next strike and nine for the first ball in the third frame, totaling 29. For the second frame, he takes 10, plus nine and one for the next two balls, or 20. With the first frame 29, this makes 49.

1 a Se 617 9144 ' The bowler rolls another strike.

For the third frame, he gets 10, plus 10 for the next ball, a strike.

' In the fifth, sixth and seventh frames, he rolls three strikes.

In the eighth frame, he knocks down nine pins, but fails to make the spare. This. is an error, marked this way (—).

In the ninth frame, he gets a 7-10 railroad—two or more pins left standing with intermediate pins knocked down. This is marked like this (0). The bowler then disposes of one of the remaining pins. If he gets a strike on the first ball of the last frame, he is allowed to roll two more balls, He

makes two strikes. Thus his total score is marked
