AUGUSTA, Ga., April 5 (U. P.).—The money it makes for you isn’t hard to take, and neither is the prestige it brings you, but the best thing about the U. S. Open golf title is the improvement it works in your golf game. That isn’t my opinion, because I never have won the open championsiip. although I have equal claim with some 100,000,00 other Americans to the 1917 ang 1918 championships, which were contested because of the World War It is the opinion of the present titleholder, bull-shouldered Wil1 Lawson Little, the man who won at Cleveland last year after off with Gene Sarazen.

man definitely out of the picture is Baer. Maybe he won't] retire, but he should. He refused! to commit himself about quitting the ring after they led him into his fdressing room with his senses reeling from two right-hand jolts that sent him to the floor in the eighth round. But Ancil Hoffman, his manager, took one look at Maxie's face and said significantly: “A man can't go on forever.” Mavbe not. but for a few heartstopping seconds in the fourth round it seemed that Baer was about to turn one of those amazing tricks that have made him a drawing card for 12 vears. He looped three long rights to Novas jaw, and Lou's knees almost folded. A look of bewiderment came over Bear's face las Nova, instead of reeling into the {resin, dove in and jabbed him on the eye. After that it was Nova's fight. A darting left jab made Baers face look like a relief map of Asia in red {and white, and in the eighth round |Nova shot across a right to the jaw {that sent Maxie rolling under the (ropes. He was up at the count of [nine and Nova measured him with another right. This time Baer hit [the deck in mid-ring and before he {could get off of one knee referee

Hitless Tribe Faces Barons Today

By EDDIE ASH

Times Sports Editor BARTOW, Fla., April b.— After worrying over the shortstop situation since the start of spring training the Indianapolis Indians did somes thing about it today by swapping Roland Van Harrington to the Birmingham Barons of the Southern Association for Wayne Ambler.
