(UP) A majority of British eolf critics laud the action of the United States Golfers' association in declaring the sandwedge niblick to be an illegal implement. George Greenwood of the Daily Telegraph says: 'How the club was ever permitted in the first place I could never understand, because there never was a clearer instance of a player being able to "buy a shot In a shop." "Moreover, the club has a con cave face, which imparts back spin to the ball without the player having to learn the art. Anthony Spalding writing In the Evening Stnr says "Included irt the outfit brought over last year by Bobby Jones was a new form of niblick, shaped like a wedge, with concave ace, nnd It weighed 2.1 ounces.

llorton Smith and other American professionals also carried a "wedge." "With this brutal and crude club Bobby Jones and his like could get the ball out of almost any position In sand. The result was to pet a fashion In niblicks, both In the states and In Britain." Henry Cotton argues in favor of the sand wedge. He says It re quires skill and is a great aid to beginning players.

The following communication has been received from the "League of California Municipalities," 1095 Market street, San Francisco, -California, and reads: "Hon. Frederick M. Roberta. Assembly Chamber, Sacramento. My dear Mr.

Roberts: This morning, Hon. C. H. S. Bid-well, mayor of Sacramento, and president of the League of California Municipalities called my attention to an article In the Oakland TRIBUNES of April 1 wherein it Is stated that the league was sponsoring a bill "authorizing the cities to set aside specific time for the use of playgrounds and swimming pools for colored children.

In Justice to the league and Its officers, I desire to reiterate the statement heretofore made to you personally that neither the league nor any ot its officers nave ever proposed or contemplated any'such legislation. Several months ago, In accordance with custom, we sent out a letter to all the cities of the state asking them to Inform us ot any new legislation they desired, in re sponse to which one letter was re celved suggesting legislation along the lines referred to, regarding race discrimination, as above quot ed. The various suggestions were published In Pacific- Municipalities, official organ of the league, whereupon some people, Jumping at conclusions, assumed that the league was. going to sponsor suoh a bill As a mutter of fact, neither the league nor any of Its officials ever had such a thought In mind. Our organization was formed for the Improvement of city government and the health, happiness and prosperity of the people governed, with out regard to race, creed or oolor.

We regret the fact that some people apparently impugn our good faith In this matter and persist in refusing to accept our explanation ot the facts. If not imposing on our friendship and long acquaintance I would appreciate any efforts you could make to ally the fears of your people in this matter. Yours very truly, Wm, J.

But according to the constitution of the state of California, such privilege could only be denied colored children through legislative' enactment, and whenever a bill was passed It Is most difficult to have It repealed. Sho also cnlled attention, to the Increasing number of un-cmployed colored people in the northern part ot the state, and the constant advertisements of Jobs for closing her remarks by stating: We are American citizens and have the right to vote and to protest." She then appointed a committee to draft resolutions of protest against the proposed Introduction of such discriminatory legislation ns given in this newspaper article. Mrs.

After they were read and adopted by the organization, they Instructed the secretary Mrs. Vivian Osliorn Marsh, to make Copies and send to each member of the California legislature, and for the club women, to keep a record of the leg islative procedure, and if such a bill was presented, and passed by the California LeglHlature to keep on file the names of all who voted for Its passnge either In the assem bly or the senate.

Shouldering four pounds for a featherweight is no unusual hardship and if Benny Bass did not place too much emphasis on a title, empfy as It is, Just about any-ono of the first flight feathers would meet him at the weight and most likely beat him. Canzoneri when he fought Bass, was forced to drink several glasses of water before he was permitted to enter the ring. Tony was not a big loggy and proved It by trouncing the I'hlladclphlan.

Canzoneri shoulders a double cannot by any means- pack frame to protect the junior wel class weight during the last two years of his reign. Had Leonard renounced thB lightweight title after the second Tendler fight, he would have been crowned Junior welterweight champion by acclamation and that class would now be something more than a laughing matter. Men like Pe trole, Tut, fields, McLarnin and other sterling" heavy lightweights would not scorn It. The passing of Berg at the hands of Canzoneri Is a lesson to those who chance taking oft weight. It was the first time Jack had been completely knocked out.

In his fight with Billy I'etrolle, the Britisher was so badly cut that the referee intervened. Three pounds was too much for Berg to sweat off. Just how much the stinging defeat will affect his future form remains to be seen. Those, who hnve any Idea the Citnzoiici'l-Ilorg fight was not on the level ought try a conversation with Hers; or his mannger. If there is a more woe-begone pair in the greater city today, this writer has fulled to find them.

That Jack takes his defeat to heart Is pro'cd by the fact thnt he has shunned his old associates and accepted a lucrative offer to fight next week. His nent wlll.be Tony Ilerrera. (loos not wish to see his friends until he has made mends for the Canzoneri defeat. Canzoneri will be known as the fighter who did not hide behind a titlo. Ho does not pick his oppo pents and for that reason Is pop ular.

Tony's next fight will be with Kid Chocolate in June. If anyono thinks Chocolate Is a bar gain at 136 pounds he has another think coming. The Cuban has been building up easily and seems to be In the shape that once made him the terror of the feather weltrht division. (Copyright. 1931, for Tha TBTB0NE.) Rose's All Stars vs L.
