Jackson is the state's major golfing center and always has a big entry list in even its local tournaments. At the Country club, c. D. Brink ley will defend his title against a fine field, augmented during the past year by many newcomers who will be hard to handle, not to speak of the numerous good players defeated in the tournament last year. Charles Stanley was the 1935 runner-up and W.

C. Buckley, the medalist. All of them expect to be in the tournament. At the park, Champion Edward Welty will be back to defend his laurels. He was medalist also.

The runner-up, Edward's brother Walter, is a member of the Ole Miss golf team and will be unable to leave school long enough to compete this season. Summer rules are scheduled for the club tournament, and summer golf likely will be played at the park also. Baseball is not the only sports flower blooming in the glorious Southern sunshine of -fine spring days. The gay golfer is definitely on the loose. The postman has just laid on our desk the 1935 Yearbook of the Southern Golf association with its accompanying tournament announcement for 1936.

The classic amateur show of the South will be held at Memphis this year, June 16-20, according to Crawford Rainwater of Atlanta, acting secretary of the SGA. The Southern usually follows our Mississippi Amateur tournament. This year it will precede the Magnolia State event, as the Open is being played late in May, virtually forcing the Amateur for the state later in June. Announcement of the Southern spurred release of dates for Jackson's two individual course tournaments, and for the first time in history, simultaneous qualifying dates have been announced. The two local tournaments should stir interest which will react to the advantage of the State Open.

It in turn should help build up state enthusiasm for the Southern. The crowning event, as far as Jackson is concerned, will be the State Amateur, expected to fol- Iow the Southern. The Senators (opposing fall Jackson Country club entertains both State Open and Amateur events this season. The final tournament will be Jackson's citywide event, scheduled this year on the Livingston Park course. It will probably come in July.

The Southern Yearbook has a list of all the champions and runners-up in the history of the body, and an interesting item Is found in the 1924 summary, with the finals showing Jack Wenzler defeating Nelson Glddens, 3 and 2. Wenzler Is now at Greenwood as pro and Giddens is here. The pair have been golf partners and friends over many years. GREENVILLE BUCKS STRONG, SOLONS SAT Jackson's Senators were back on the home lot at practice duties yesterday afternoon after being defeated "7 to 6 at Greenville Sunday afternoon. "The Bucks are strong but not unbeatable" seems to be the concensus of Senatorial opinion on the Greenville club.

This takes into consideration the fact that Glenn Bolton wasn't in the lineup Sunday and Manager Styles was out of town, directing his school team. Pap Williams, Carl Sikes, Jonas Butzman, Joe Boward and some of the other men Memphis has sent down to Greenville will make the team a formidable contender, but "a good team can beat 'em," the Senators agree. Whether Jackson has that "good team" or not is still in doubt, but prospects are encouraging. Incidentally, Steve Rachunok looked mighty good on the mound for Jackson, going all the way against the Bucks, and Beattie Feathers, the all-American football star, had a poor day against the Solon rookie flinger. Feathers doubtless will pick up.

Chick Galeria, a southpaw who "conceals" the ball until the last minute of delivery, got no lucky break in moving to Greenville in regard to the lights. He may miss that dark park at Pine Bluff as a home address, some Senators think.

Phone 7146 1. -r After another practice game Monday against intra-squad opponents, the Jackson Senators cut loose Tuesday in a fracas with the Mill-saps college team in a contest starting at 3 o'clock in League park. The Solons lost a 7 to 6 game to Greenville Sunday, but were undismayed by the result, as in-most respects the game was distinctly encouraging to local hopes.

The lively intra-squad game Monday found the Regulars with the following batting order: Dean 2b, Young rf, Parks cf, Clements If, Grandbois lb, Bobo 3b, Vanghn ss, Yarsow and Kinzer p. The Yannigans had Bray rf, Guidi ss, Welch If, Hancock cf, Armstrong 3b, Adair 2b, Lacy lb, O'Neil and Scherer p. Several other flingers got a chance to exhibit their wares for the rival teams. The Millsaps game this afternoon may develop into quite a tussle, as the Majors have Red Bullock and Geru Assaf, a couple jl" good pitchers, and some supplementary talent may be borrowed from the Senatorial squad. After several games to which the Yannigans have defeated the Regulars, the tables were turned yesterday with the Regs hanging up a 3 to 2 verdict in ten innings.

The loss was not a defeat for Francis "Hanky" Lowry, pitching for the Yannigans at the time, as the lefthander was serving up an assortment of baffling curves to the Regs. Bill Subry was the winning pitcher for the Yannigans. OPENING THROWS ARE NOT SO HOT Governor Futrell Will Have to Strut Stuff at Little Rock Today MEMPHIS, April 13 (ff) As matters now stand, a lot depends on how Gov. Marion Futrell of Arkansas pitches that first ball at Little Rock tomorrow. The first tosses of other notables at opening baseball games in the Sou-thern.

association were distinctly disappointing, and the usual catty talk was going the rounds today. That the officeholders "throw us curves the year around except at opening games" was the disturbing tenor of these remarks. While it may be successfully contended that the officeholders did as well as the civic club leaders at Saturday's ceremonies, the fact remains that Gov. Futrell must perform heroically if the faith of the people in their leaders is to be restored. Governor Futrell apparently views the situation with his accustomed calm.

There was nothing in the dispatches from Little Rock to indicate any intensive preparations on his part. He is to pitch to Mayor R. E. Overman of Little Rock with Mayor TJ. E.

Moore of North Little Rock at the bat, and County Judge R. A. Cook ready to serve as umpire. Those close to the governor said he would do as well as Gov. James A.

Noe of Louisiana, whose first pitch to City Commissioner Joseph Patrick Skelly at New Orleans Saturday was called a strike. Governor Noe may have been given the benefit on a close one, but there is no reason to feel that Judge Cook will be a less generous umpire. Recovering from a broken leg, Mayor Ed Bass of Chattanooga, will merely throw from his box to inaugurate the 1936 season there. Baseball, generally speaking, is a man's game, but Miss Eleanor Spalding, debutante daughter of Hughes Spalding, Atlanta vice president, set the pace for first ball pitchers Saturday. Wearing a bright red sweater and a red Cracker cap, she was the best looking pitcher of the lot.

Her first ball, thrown to James Braddock, the heavyweight boxing champion at bat, was a bit wild. Catcher Joe Engel (head of the Chattanooga club) conferred with her. Steadying, Miss Spalding sent the next one squarely across. Braddock hit down the third WELDING Jackson Welding Co. Day Phone 279 Night Phone 6817 9 1111 West Capitol St.

The two men met in a fast and rough battle here last Friday as a preliminary, and their good showing led to their being signed for the main match. Verne Clark and Otto Ludwlg, old time enemies, will meet in a six-round boxing match as a semifinal. This is nothing new for Clark he met the Flash in a similar match several months ago, and won with a pile driver! Al Kimble and Bennie Mathews will start the show off in a preliminary.

TECH-CHOCTAWS MEETING TODAY RUSTON, La, April 13 VP) Louisiana Tech and Mississippi College will play a two-game baseball series here Tuesday and Wednesday, Coach Eddie McLane announced today. The two contests were to have been played Monday and Tuesday but were delayed because several of the Mississippi college diamond men are members of the Mississippi national guard serving in the Tupelo storm area. Friday and Saturday of this week, the Tech baseball players will meet the Millsaps Majors in Jackson, Miss. CARDINALS BEAT BROWNS BY 6-3 ST. LOUIS, April 13.

CPH-A fifth-inning batting punch that put the skids under the Browns second pitcher, Mike Meola, gave the Cardinals a 6 to 3 victory in the second of the two-game spring series today. The Browns won yesterday. Tied at one-all going into the fifth, Gelbert walked, Durocher tripled and Moore parked a home run in the left field seats to bring in three runs. Medwick got a home run in the second inning. Clift of the Browns smashed a circuit blow in the sixth.

However, opening day ceremony rules do not provide for third basemen, and there was no one to catch it.

Mr. Braddock's failure to run to first base, since he had not been instructed on this point, saved the day for Miss Spalding. Mayor James Elmore of Knox-ville took dead aim and fired, but his delivery lacked two essentials-accuracy and speed. Chug Rigsby. honorary batter, missed the ball The ball, unfortunately, didn't do as well by him, and he was caught in the flank.

W. W. Hansen, president of the Memphis Exchange club, kept his first pitch within the confines of Russwood Park, but not especially in the vicinity of the home plate. DYKES WARNING HIS PAL MICKEY Chicago Skipper Tells Detroit Boss to "Start Fast Or Else" CHICAGO, April 13 JP) Manager Jimmy Dykes of the Chicago White Sox warned his pal, Mickey Cochrane, today that another slow start this season would Just about cost the world champion Detroit Tigers a third straight American league title. The little Sox skipper pried his mind away from his own problems long enough to give his mate of those glorious days with the Philadelphia Athletics some last minute benefit of counsel.

Any such dilatory actics as waiting until July 26 to take the lead, would result in disaster for even as fine a team as the Tigers, he said. "There is too much strength, all along the line to let any team take, its time getting up there," he said. "If the Tigers wait until the middle of June to really get going, as they did last year, some team, maybe New York, Boston or Cleveland, is going to get too far ahead to be caught. "Every club in the league is a potential troublemaker," he added. The Tigers, who came from behind to grab the first of their two recent titles, held just as much trouble getting started last season.

They dipped into last place during the first month of the campaign. By the end of May the fiery Cochrane and his men were In fourth position, but didn't get under a full head of steam until late In June. From there on, they roared along on a nonstop drive to the world championship. Dykes still thinks the change from Chicago scenery to Detroit's will help Al Simmons regain his old slugging form, in spite of the Milwaukee Duke's indifferent bitting this spring. WASHINGTON, April 13 His right arm in fine pitching form after a southern vacation, President Roosevelt laughingly promised today to throw.

a "strike" when he tosses the first ball officially inaugurating the major league baseball season here tomorrow. Mr. Roosevelt today" received from Owner Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators his annual gold-bordered American league pass. Tomorrow he'll earn his Annie Oakley by pegging a shiny, new ball in the general direction of the pitcher's box to start the Washington New York Yankees game. Therell be a mad scramble for the presidential throw.

Yankee and Senator players will string out in a line from home plate to first base, all ready to jump and snag the horsehide as it flies past. Accompanied by members of his official party, Mr. Roosevelt will be driven onto the field and up to his box, while the Army band toots the customary "Hail to the Chief." Vice-President Jack Garner and Griffith, with perhaps William Harridge, president of the American league, will march to the centerfield flag pole and raise the stars and stripes. Then, while upwards of 25,000 Including cabinet members, senators and congressmen and just plain fans, look on, Mr will wind up and let go the ball that starts the season rolling. Congress will be in session but 3 o'clock will find many members answering roll call at the Griffith stadium.

Fair and warmer weather, perhaps around 65 degrees, has been predicted by the weatherman. And the Senators feel confident of a victory if Mr. Roosevelt stays until the end. He's the Senators' good luck charm. They've won every game hes' attended and has remained through to the finish.

In 1934, when rain temporarily halted the opener and the president left, the Senators lost to the Red Sox. The Southpaw Earl Whitehill, who has hurled openers far Washington since-1933. hasnt rounded into shape yet, so the bi? and colorful right-handed. Buck- Newsom, will get the assignment cliff Bolton will catch. For the Yankees, the veteran Lefty Gomez will pitch his fifth consecutive season-beginner, with Bill Dickey on the receiving end.

Joe Di Maggio, the highly-touted rookie left fielder, is not expected to start, since he still is bothered by a foot infection. Buddy Lewis, the 19 year old rookie third baseman, whose hitting has been one of the spring season sensations, will be replaced by the veteran Ossie Bluege if Gomez, hurls. Otherwise, hell play. Manager Bucky Harris figures the CLEVELAND WINS FROM DAVID NINE CLEVELAND, April 13. A ninth inning attack by the Cleveland Bengals on the House of David nine resulted in Cleveland untying the score and winning from the bewhis-kered team, 4-3.

The Bengals took the lead in the second inning, scoring 2 runs, on one hit, and errors by the opposing team. The visiting team came back in the sixth and scored a run on two hits and a base on balls. Leading the attack for the Cleve-landers were Vandenberg, Humphreys and Rickard, who gathered two hits each. Powers supplied the hit in the ninth Inning that helped to win the ball game, though Rickard 's long fly to centerfield with one man out enabled Powers to score and win the game. Errors predominated the entire nine innings.

Giancio, left fielder of the House of David, missed three fly balls because the sun was in his eyes. The Cleveland team played their next home exhibition with the Clarksdale Ginners next Thursday afternoon. They go to Greenwood Tuesday afternoon to lace Frank Srazill's Little Giants.
