FARRELL IN COMEBACK Gene Sarazen Continues To Rank With Great-est of Players.

By FRANCIS J. POWERS Special Correspondent of The Democrat (Copyrignt. By The Consolidated Press Association, Chicago, Feb. 1. If results of th winter tournaments are to be taken into account the old crowd of professionals that has been dominating the competitive field for many years can anticipate a lot of strong opposition thruout 1930.

There are a number of youngsters coming along at a rapid pace and some others wbo are Just reaching the peak of their game, altho beyond the juvenile class. On the Pacific coast, Olin Dutra has been shooting the sort of golf that will make him a strong contender for national honors. Olin and his brother, Mortie, hail from Southern California and are de scendants of the early Spanish set tlers who carried the banner of civilization into California. They have been prominent on the Pacific slope for several years and Olin ha ranked as one of the topnotch play. ers of that section.

Olin is sta tioned at Brentwood C. Los An. gcles, while his brother teaches at the Tacoma Country and Golf club, Mortie Dutra bears the reputa tion of being one of the slowest players in golf and almost a match for Cyril Walker, who could give a snail a good race any day. On the other hand, Olin Is one of the fast est players In the game. Nice Work.

Olin in his first ten competltivs rounds of the new year had ait average of 74 stroke and led alt ot the professionals. That is na startling average, but many of hi rounds were played under advers weather conditions. He tied foe first place In the Long Beach open and was well up in the running a Agua Caliente. The Dutra brothers have been somewhat handicapped In tourna' ment play by close attention to their club duties and instruction of members. If Olin is a contestant in the national open at Interlachen the Espinosa family may be hard pressed to retain the honor of being the leading Spanish-American family In golf.

Clarence Clark of Tulsa is another newcomer in the front rank of the stars. Chirk has not been, able to knock off any of the big money but is a steady and sound player and critics believe he Is cer tain to become one of the leading players of the country. Tom Rack-letts of Youngstown, has shows flashes of fine golf and seems about due for the climb, and of course Densraore Shute has proven bis skill to the satisfaction of everyone and no longer will be a dark horse in any field. One of the interesting develop. rcent3 of the winter season la the apparent return to form by Johnny Farrell.

Farrell never was among the leaders in 1929, but In the far western championships he seemed to be hitting the bail with bis old skill and averaged slightly better than 74 for his efforts. Learns HI Lesson, Farrell has learned the costly lesson that he does not have the physique for Bteady exhibition play and onco he regains the form he displayed thruout 1927 and 192S he will likely husband his resources for the more Important championships.) It Johnny plays this summer as he did' two years ago will make the national open inter. OEting for all, including Robert Jones. But all players must reckon with Geno Sarazen In the open. Gene has won tho Miami Beach and Agu Caliente opens and all the little Italian needs is a meed ot success to keep him running in high gear.

The drive that carried him to that national open championship In 1923 was started during the winter season and there is a good chanca he may repeat that performance. Sarazen never has been known to buffer from an inferiority complex and when he has two or three victories tucked away he willingly will match shots with Jones, Hagca or any other player. Among the amateurs to make si creditable showing in the California tournament was Charlie Seaver of Los Angeles. Still under 21 and carrying the build of a fullback, Seaver is certain to one day be-como one of the best amateurs of the country. He impressed golf followers Mith his form In the national amateur at Tebble Beach, snd averaged around 75 In th winter tournaments.

MEET BLUE SOX HERE ON MAY 7 Two Tri-City Teams Will Open Campaign One Day Ahead of Other Club. MANAGERS ARE OPTIMISTIC Adoption of New Rookie Rule to Aid Pilots in Securing Players.

The season also opens on May 8 at Burlington with Dubuque as the visiting team and at Keokuk with Waterloo the invaders. At Waterloo and Dubuque, the opening games are carded for May 14 with Keokuk and Burlington as the opposing teams.

In contrast to the variety of opening dates at the various cities, the teams all pack away their uniforms on Sept. 7 with Moline playing at Cedar Rapids, Davenport at Rock Island, Waterloo at Burlington and Dubuque at Keokuk.

Some Doubleheader. The season closes Aug. SO at Dubuque and Davenport, Rock Island and Burlington being the opposing teams, while at Waterloo and Moline, the. schedule comet to a close with a Labor day double-header, Sept. 1.

On the Fourth of July, the same teams oppose each other In double-header attractions, but at the former city in each case. The schedule calls for 126 games vita not aa open date from May 7 to Sept.

7. Signing Players. The league this year expects to offer Its patrons a faster brand of ball than in previous seasons. Adoption of a two-year rookie rule to replace the former one-year rule is believed by a number of managers to open the way to employment of a higher class of player. Previously a player who had performed la the Valley loop all or any part of any season was regarded as a veteran the next year.

This year a number of managers plan to bring back into their folds -a number of young players they probably would have released on the one-year rule, but feel they can include In the list of seven rookies allowed each club. Managers of all of the clubs have started signing players. They have lined up a goodly number of their 1929 performers and are on the lookout for promising recruits who want a chance to show their wares In the league that has sent innumerable players into higher circles. The managers will not call their men to report to camp for ten weeks yet, but all of them have started planning for the 1930 campaign, a race for league honors which they expect to be the hottest in several seasons.

By MORRIS COLEHOUR An arena which has produced many thrillers since it was erected in 1917 will be the site of the second meeting this winter between St. Ambrose and Augustana. Having a capacity of nearly 2,800, the Norse gym should be large enough to handle the crowd expected to see the tilt Thursday between these rivals. The attendance at the scran last Tuesday which resulted in a victory for Coach Cotton'a forces was very large and with interest still at a high pitch. Joe Wickstrom, graduate manager of ticket sales at Au- gustana, is preparing to hang out the R.

sign some time before the struggle. Advance sale of tickets for the battle will start Monday at the Athletic Shop, Rock Island. Lethin Moline, and Martin's Cigar Store 19 In Dawenport. Most of the seats In the balcony at the Augustana gym and a large section of choice seats on the main floor will be set aside for thoje who want to get a close-up of the game. After last night's game against Eureka on the latter's court, the Vikings will return home late this afternoon and will rest very likely until Tuesday afternoon.

Coach Art Swedberg was somewhat dis appointed with the result of the opening battle of the 1930 series but hopes to smile after Thursday's clash. Had Captain "Bus" Thoman of the Norsemen been able to play the full game Instead of being re moved on fouls In the secord half, the decision might have been awarded to the Aug-ustana drib- mers. He is just as brilliant as "Bub" Math of the Irish, bt-ing able to dribble and shoot much bet ter than the average player. Bill Herd of Davenport who gave such a fine exhibition of courage against the Saints last wonk, Is Riving Orvillo Liudberg plenty of competition for the back guard post. Al-tho lacking the speed and scoring power of Lindberg, Herd is a cool-headed youth who can be relied on in any emergency.

Thanks to the Ironclad Illinois state boxing law, quad-city fans will have an opportunity to see both Al Uoi and Battling Burner, principals in Moline's first legalized fistic fete, in action not later than tomorrow night. The aforesaid law requires that the main go principals must be on the scene of battle at least five days in advance of their scheduled scrap. Therefore, as the show in the field house is carded for next Friday night, the boys must be on hand at the start of the week. Tickets for the 34 round enter tainment are in brisk demand, lead' ing the Hessenauer brothers, pro moters for the Moline Elks to pre diet that most of the 63S0 available seats will be filled with cash cus totoert when the gong sounds for round one of the four-round opener, Chance to See Fighters.
