Following the announcement 1 made last week of the Ridgednlc and Kansas City open features, the Sun- set Hill Club ba swung into line; with two exhibitions for May 10 and May 11 that will be a fitting prelude; to the best season at the "royal and ancient" game ever mapped out for: this city. According to President Jess Carle- ton of the Sunset Hill Club, arrange- ments have been completed for the appearance here of Alex. Smith, two- time national and two-time West-: ern open championship winner; Oil I Nichols, who twice was runner-up I the national: and Rob McDonald Chicago, a third famous "pro." in foursomes.

The expenses of the three visiting players have been guaranteed i by Sunset Hill Club nnd a purse will' be hung up for professionals who. with Jim Rarnes. the club's instructor, will play a foursome over the course. Tn ntlnal Title Mara lee. The visiting professional are all widely known.

Both courses have been improved since the close of the 1 91 golfing year, and players will meet many new pits, bunkers and distance changes in sey, in his opinion.

Brennan is a fighter. He can stand more walloping than a punching bag and he knows how to give as well as take it. A 15-round bout with Eilly Miske at Tulsa last Monday, which at least one newspaper gave, him credit for winning, attests his merit. The fact that he has faced Dempsey also gives him a right to i express his title fight views. "Willard will be too rusty and too out of condition.

It is not possible. to remain, out of the game four years and still have the hand and mind geared up right. They're not tuned up together, either." Erennan said, "1 broke my ankle in the second round of a light with Jack Dempsey and had it in a plaster cast for six i months before I finally put on the weeks before I dually put on th gloves. For a long time I couldn't stop a blow with anything but my 1 beezer. I couldn't see 'em coming quk enough; or, if I did, I couldn't get my block-and-eounter working, in time.

then. "I believe I can heat Dempsey. although he is a terrific puncher." Brennan has a good record and hi.i fight with Miske shows that he is again going well.

Ixiren Murchison of St. Iiouis, who set new world indoor figures for 220 yards at 22 3-u seconds, ran three inches over the dist'an-e.

The new championship record of 3-5 seconds made by Freddie Teschner for fiO yards found him running four inches over the record, while Jimmy O'Rrien, winner of the senior champion run at 300 yards in new time of 32 3-." seconds, actually ran four inches over the distance.

His next two trips he fanned, while on his final appearance he skied to Magee. Miller showed a lack of practice against real pitching, as he fished for curves throughout.

However. Pat Moran, the Heds' new manager, has theories of own regarding left-handed hatters ami southpaw pitchers. He argues that the reason the portside swatters nre unahle to hit kithogues is o-eause they do not get a chance to 'eJouLagainst them as often as riijli-lianHers. This spring Neale and Roush. two nf the Reds' heaviest hitters, wanted to turn around against left-handers.

Rut Moran argued them out of it. TTe told them that it threw them off their stride and placed them at least five feet further away from first. As a solution. Moran is giving his aoallH.aw hitters more practice against left-hand pitchers than against right-handers. Moran has four flingers who let fly with the 1 wronic fin Reuther.
