that it better to drive far and crooked than short and off the line. The sum and substance of this theory places added stress on the second shot. If Miss Collett reaches the rough, she depends on recovering to the green ith her irons. This she cannot do if hor off line tee shot is not lng. So.

Rexinger had little difficulty In overcoming the Ohio State star, and at only one point during the match did Dennison threaten to take a set. During the third set he put on a burst of speed which resulted in his leading for a short time. Rexinger, however, soon overcame his opponent. The Undine Barge club, on the Schuylkill river, In Philadelphia, is 75 years old. SHABBY TRICK ON GIANTS Somehow or other we can sympathize with Lon Goodwin's Philadelphia Royal Giants for the end of the deal they got here this season.

The Giants, we have been made to und3rstand, contracted to wind up their series on the after noon of July 4 wun one ui uk leading Hawaii league teams. But with the advent of the Mei-jis' visit, it looks very much as if the colored team will be peeking on from the sidelines instead of play ing on that particular afternoon. Even if the Giants were to play their game, it would be in the morning, and the affair wouldn't draw a crowd half the size of ona of somebody's pet "rassling" show. This seems like a shabby trick to play on the Giants, who had more or less depended on such a holiday cut to make the trip here worth their while. The Jints" have played to some very slim crowds and have depended on a few big gates to carry them over.

Now it looks as if they're going to be denied even that much unless something is done to straighten matters. SOME JABS This boy Fernando Opao we mean the boxer named Young Tommy doesn't pack TNT charges in either fist, but you can't tell K. O.

O. Kuratsu, who has labeled the unofficial flyweight champion of Hawaii, met a bit too much class when he tangled with Young Tommy, recent arrival from the Philippines, in the six-round main event of the boxing show at Houston Arena last night. A capacity crowd of more than 5000 fans Jammed the Palama bowl and witnessed one of the most ex- citing fight cards offered here in months. Total gate receipts were approximately $3000. Four of the five preliminaries ended in knockouts, the main event got under way five minutes after 9, and the fans were on their nay home before a quarter to 10.

The main event was too one-tided battle to be as exciting as was expected, but there was always feeling of uncertainty due to the fact that Kuratsu carries a dynamite right that might have turned he tables at any stage of the battle fiad he been able to connect quarely. Without Mark Tommy came through the battle without a mark. Kuratsu landed hftrdly half a dozen blows during the six rounds, and never connected fquarely with his famous right. The Filipino boy ducked, rolled, sidestepped and blocked to get away from Kuratsu'a leads, and actually beat Kuratsu at his own game counter-punching. The little Filipino won every round, outmaneuvering Kuratsu.

who finally took to back pedaling to get away from Tommy's relentless attack. Tommy threw punches from all angles, keeping Kuratsu off balance with a deadly left jab. The Filipino boy did not appear to possess much of a punch, Kuratsu never being in serious trouble, although there were a couple of times when hard left hooks to the chin slowed him down considerably. Good Sport Kuratsu, whose "cocky" attitude In the ring often draws criticism, must be given credit for good portsmanship in that he ran across the ring as soon as the decision was announced and warmly congratulated Tommy, admitting that he ta decisively defeated. The winner of this fight was supposed to meet the winner of the semi-final bout between Tiger Con-ncll and Little More in the main event of the show at the Honolulu Stadium on July 3.

The Connell-Moro scrap resulted in a draw decision from the judges, but it is very likely that Connell will be offered a scrap with Tommy. Scinl-Iinal Itout Judging from the volume of cheering the semi-final battle proved more thrilling to the bleacher fans than the main event. Connell and Moro stepped a fast pare throughout the six rounds, and both took quite a bit of punishment. Moro, who Is a southpaw, failed to display much of a punch, while Connell, a stiff puncher with cither hand, was working for a knockout all the way. Lluslve Target As predicted by the More backers, Connell found the little Filipino an elusive target.

Moro keDt a straight right in Connclls face all the way ana ii was not. until tne last couple of rounds that the former Scho-Xield champion began to connect aquarely. This bout was originally supposed to be an eight round affair. Had It been eight rounds instead of six, Ccnnell would probably have topped the Filipino, as he had his man in a bad way a couple of times late in the fight, especially in the final round.

The newly organized California Boxing Manager's association was founded on the precepts of "protection" for downtrodden managers, if any. Carrying out this excellent thought, the local branch of the association picked a fairly suitable "Sergeant of Arms." He is Hippo Burns, 366-pound negro character, who has a string of boxers. Old Hippo should be able to handle any of the brothers, should they decide to argue with the president or any of the eight or nine vice presidents. Hippo attended three of the meetings and never said a word or got out of his chair. Finally somebody asked him why he didn't say something.

He replied: Tse learning." Les Cohen, one of our best known men about town, contributes "Egg Plant" to the vernacular of the ring. Very expressive and will come in handy to editors who have grown tired of referring to this particular type as a -direr" or "tanker" or "in the bag." Jack Hogan, the famed "One Round" Hogan of a dozen years ago, now refereeing, pulled a fancy one recently that redounds to his credit. One lad clipped an opponent on the chin and the latter started falling in a manner that would have whanged his head on the canvas. Hogan scooted across the ring and caught the boj-'s head in his hands a couple of inches from the floor. This is some kind of a knockdown.

Dewey Maisey, a negro heavyweight, hit the canvas 10 times in the first round of an Oakland bout, and was hit only twice. Once he was shoved, once pulled, tripped once and five times fell down after missing swings. The referee started counts every-time so each rest on the canvas went down for a knockdown. The referee finally stopped the affair, probably to save the ring. WATSON'S COMMENT (Continued from Page 8) may join the National Boxing Association, Dr.

Martin says. Robert Edgren, whose sports are Dublished exclusively here bv The Star-Bulle" is a member cf the California commission. ia- JIILH SCRAP i Bob Edgren Expects To Seej Many Thrills At the Bout (Continued from 8) that he had become a more skilful boxer than Corbett, He actually thousrht he was cutboxing Corbett. iwhen Billy Brady pumped Into the corner after the 23rd and warned Jeff that unless he knocked Corbett out the decision was gone. Jeff jumped up and crove Corbett across the ring and cornered him at the ropes and cracked him on the chin, and that ended it.

Jeff's fight with Fitzsimmons in San Francisco was a desperate affair, old Fitz nearly tearing Jeff's head off until his right hand was broken and his left buckled and almost useless. Then as Fitz led. Jeffries stopped him with a left poke in the ribs and shot the right his chin for the kayo. The fight with Gus Ruhlin wasn't much because Jeffries wanted to knock the Akron Giant cold, and did it in the fifth round after nearly breaking him in two with body smashes. And his last fight as champion, against Munroe, was a joke.

Jeff got himself into fine condition and he looked like a great big grizzly bear to poor Munroe, who was so overawed he could hardly hold up his hands. Jeff let it go a round. trying to give the crowd something look at, but let a punch go in the second and knocked the miner out. This Was Washout The Johnson-Jeffries fight at Reno six years after Jeff's retirement from the ring was hardly a fight just an exhibition of what the remnants of giant strength could carry a man through. Jeff ries, hardly a shadow oi tne oia invincible Jeff, had been drugged the night before the fight to make a sure cleanup for a gambling clique.

The crowd was there from all over the world. Although Jeffries could be only half aroused in the dressing room, he was sent out to fight. Stupid and hardly able to lift his arms he walked steadily into Johnson, too slow to hit a solid blow himself, taking everything, until he collapsed and fell through the ropes, still conscious but helpless, in the 15th round. Johnson Overrated Johnson has been a greatly overrated champion. He wouldn't have had a chance with the Jeffries of six years before.

As champion he put up two third-rate fights, one with little Jim Flynn and the other with Frank Moran in Paris. John son was very clever in defense, but floundered like a novice wnen ne tried to attack. So he developed a style of waiting for the other man to lead and depending upon counter hitting. In Havana Willard fooled Johnson by using Johnson's own style. The riight before the fight Willard told me: "Johnson can't fight unless the other man comes to him.

He's always made them come. I'm going to be the first to make him do the leading. I've got 45 rounds all afternoon. I won't lead. He's champion and he'll have to do some fighting sometime, and I'll do the countering.

I won't fight until he's so tired he can't lift his hands. Then 1 11 knock him out." That was just wrhat happened. Whenever Johnson, exasperated, floundered forward to attack Willard smacked him dizzy with count er punches. In the 26th Willard finished it with a terrific smash on the chin and it was fully 10 minutes before Johnson could be taken from the ring. There was no fake about that knockout, either, although Johnson tries now to convince the world that he faked it.

Jack Dempsey was the greatest reckless fighter of them all. Entirely without fear or caution. Jack always went in for a quick knockout. His one indifferent fight was with Tommy Gibbons at Shelby, which went to a decision, and I'll always believe he was sorry for Tommv and didn't want to finish him. "The Carpentier fight was a fight because Dempsey deliberately gave Georges erery chance in the world.

The Firpo fight was a classic of the ages the greatest thriller ever seen in a ring, although it went only four minutes or so. Any fight Dempsey was in was a fight. When he lost to Gene Tunney at Philadelphia it was a thriller all the way. At cnicago uempsey piaiuicu to foil Tunney's dangerous right hand and make him miss until the sixth round, then knock him out. He started his knockout rally in the seventh instead, and he did knock Tunney out if there is anything in an honest 10 second count.

Tunney was down at least 16 seconds and wasn't counted out. and no claim of technicalities will ever, make that a square deal. But that Tunney was a better fighter than Dempsey then was proved when Gene came back after being knocked out and allowed by a long count to go on. and by first running and then fighting, turned the tables on Dcmpsev and took the fight away from him in the last round. Worst Title Bout The poorest championship fight was between Tunney and Heeney.

That was hand-picked by the champion, who chose us his opponent a slow, clumsy second ratei and forced that choice on Rickard. Tunney looked a great champion in that one-sided bout.

So why should he fight Thompson for a couple of dollars? We are going to have something to say about the terms this time. Or else Thompson can keep the title." The writer can now sympathize with the doctor who performed the perfect operation, only cut off the wTong leg. Some time ago in this column he wrote of Carl Zamloch's idea to increase baseball attendance on Sunday, Zamloch being manager of the Oakland club. As we got the story, Zamloch, an amateur magician of note, had enlisted the aid of father, an even better magician, to put on the lat-ter's favorite trick sawing a woman in two. It was to be done at home plate.

It rained that day. Received Call Not long after, the telephone rang. It was Bob Shand. sports editor of the Oakland Tribune. Said Bob: "Say, Russ.

remember that story vou wrote about Zamloch and his father going to cut a woman in two Yes." "Well, it was a swell story." "Thanks. Bob." "Only, Carl's father died about 20 years ago." Just to keep the records clear, Zamloch intended to put on the trick but the magician who was going to do the sawing was an old-time friend of Carl's father. Maybe the lad who wrote this isn't convinced prosperity is just around the corner. It is from the University of Southern California. It states that Orv Mohler, Trojan football star, would work part of the summer driving a speed boat at Catalina Island after which he will go to the Rogue river in Oregon with a friend "to shoot the rapids." It concludes: "If he makes it.

Orv will return to Southern California Sept. 15 to plav quarterback on Coach Howard Jones- 1931 eleven." We hope he makes it. Howard. GROWLS AT MISSED PUTT I By The Associated Press) gpRIkGFIELD. N.

NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO. Snubbed like a poor relation given the well known "run around" and publicly advised "to go out and get yourself a reputation" has been the lot of Young Corbett, the very good Fresno welterweight, in his title quests. And so now, without the special permission of the copyright owners, Mr. Corbett has decided to sing a few "high hat" tunes himself. Instead of chasing the champion, he is going to let the champion chase him.

The champion, at present, is Young Jack Thompson and Corbett. through his representative, Larry White, already has snubbed Thompson. The paradox came about this way. Thompson hasn't been able to draw much money lately. His perior-I mances have been those of a "cheese I champion." Which recently has I caused Thompson's manager.

Ray I Alvis, to have a change of heart. Willing to Fight So it came about that Alvis wrote to White saying he was willing to get together on a title fight. White replied through the public prints that Corbett wasn as interestea in the title now as he used to be. "Corbett chased Thompson for the better part of a year," White said. "Now, he (Corbett) is tired of running.

Times are, tough and the boy needs the money. He has offers from every part of the country that will keep him busy for the rest of this year. After this year, Corbett probably will retire. He has a far better ring reputation than Thompson. Denv it if you will but facts are facts.

He beat Thompson three "Corbett is through catering to Thompson. The only place this match would draw would be around here either Oakland or San Francisco. Alvis is beginning to realize it.
