In the outstanding reversal, Horton Smith of Oak Park, one of the country's leading money golfers, failed to meet the challenge of Romie Espinosa and bowed to the young San Francisco pro, 2 and 1. He was 3 up at the ninth and one under par when the match ended on the 17th. Smith's putting was bad.

Subject Of Salaries Is Passed Over Minor Leagues Expected to Adopt Limit at Today's Meeting With Violation Penalty Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 8. (AP.) The highly controversial subject of a salary limit among the minor baseball leagues and drastic penal-tics for its violation, tentatively "was pussed up today by the National Association of Professional Leagues in convention here. The matter has precipitated lengthy arguments all week and previous to the national meeting today, it was believed a payroll limit with penalties for viola tioh would be adopted almost unanimously by the 13 smaller circuits. But when the subject was presented on the floor of the convention, a fresh outbreak of argument seemed almost certain, so officials accepted a motion to pass over this phase of recommendations until the next session at 10 a.

m. tomorrow. A survey among the magnates revealed they were not so much opposed to adoption of the salary limit itself as to the penalty provided oy tne executive committee ior its violation. Under the resolution presented for the consideration of the committee, "any club" guilty of any violation of the salary limit rule adopted for its classification shall, if the violation be not corrected within three days of notice of such violation, assign the contract of or release unconditionally the player on such who receives the highest salary paid by such club. If more than one player is receiving an equally high salary then the player to be released or assigned shall be determined by lot.

In addition thereto De a ciuo "ttulltv of violation of the salary limit shall be fined 20 per cent of the maximum monthly salary limit allowed for each club in its classification," the fine to be paid into the National Association treasury. In addition, the committee rec ommended a salary affidavit signed bv the player and the cluo presi dent, be attached to each contract The signing of a false affidavit by a player would make him liable to a penalty or a fine, or of being placed on the ineligible list for two years, or Dotn. It was believed these penalties would be softened a little at conferences tonight to arrange to bring the entire matter onto the floor some time tomorrow. The National Association adopted amendments to its constitution so that a new governing body will comprise an executive committee of three members, one irom jiass Aft one from Class and the third from classes B. or D.

In addition there shall be a president, vice-president, who will serve as chairman of the executive committee, a treasurer and a secretary to be appointed by the president. These offices will be filled tomorrow. Among other things, the Association voted to change its meeting time to the third Wednesday in November each vear: refused to raise the protective limits of all classifications; to raise from one to two nor cent the amount of cash con sideration paid for the assignment of a player contract; to take three ner cent from the gross gate re ceipts of all post season series, including playoffs and various other minor changes. The convention also passed up a recommendation that each club be reoulred to post with the league president at the start of the season a check or surety bond equal to two weeks pay of the ball club and a like amount with the National Association. Tills is to protect players and creditors In case a team should pass out of existence before the close of the season.

The question will be brought up again tomorrow. Al Brown Wins. Paris. Dec. 9 (AP.i Panama Al Brown, generally recognized ban tamweight champion, outpointed Prauz Machtens, Belgian featherweight title holder, in a ten round bout here tonight.

Ticket Sale Hits 95,000 Speculators Asking and Receiving 100 Per Cent Profit on Choice of Stadium Seats Los Angeles, Dec. 8. (AP.) A football battle of the clouds was in prospect as Notre Dame today completed its Arizona preliminaries and packed to move on to Los Angeles. Southern California and Saturday were Just around the corner. If the Ramblers and Trojans find they can not carry the ball, HOWARD JONES.

against great forward walls, and they are not sure they can, they, will throw it. Then the air will be filled with music and forward pusses. Although Southern California has been practicing for days in secrecy, no confidence is violated when it said Conch Howard Jones has had his Trojans practicing for hours on forward passes going both ways-offense and defense. A modern Homer, quarterback Homer Griffith, is the key. man in the plans of Troy and Coach Jonea wishes he had two Homers.

It is not possible for Griffith to play the full game under the exacting demands of a Jones coached quarterback. The practice at Southern California has tapered off until it has developed into more of a vocal than physical exercise. The advance sale has reached 95.000, within 6500 seats of capacitv. Speculators who did their football shopping early were asking and getting 100 per cent profit on choice seats. Los Angeles, Dec.

8. (AP.) University of Southern California athletic officials announced lat today that the home and home football series with Notre Dame have been extended through 1935. The announcement set to rest rumors that the relationship between the two institutions, which has been perpetuated six years, would be terminated after the contest scheduled for 1933. Southern California will play the Ramblers at South Bend next November 25 and November 23, 1935. The 1934 game will take place here December 8.

The games were scheduled today after a meeting between Jess Harper, athletic director at Notre Dame and Willis O. Hunter, Trojan athletic director. Tucson. Dec. 8.

(AP.) Coach "Hunk" Anderson today gave his Notre Dame Ramblers zero-hour instructions for their football battle ag.iinst Southern California at Lcs Angeles Saturday. Plans have been laid with care. But Coach Anderson still views with alarm at least in the presence of newspapermen the annihilation he said he believes awaits the Irish when they attempt to scale thu walls of Troy. Approaches to the University of Arizona Stadium, where the Ram blers worked again today, and all points from which with a view of the field could be obtained, were shut by vast expanses of canvas. City policemen were summoned to see that no ie got past the canvas shields.

The Irish mentor issued a brief statement saying the secret session would be devoted to development of the opening attack to be used against Southern 'California. The weather was warm. The entire squad of 36 worked out on the field here today. The condition of the players, the team pnvsician said, was good generally. Today's drill concluded preparations for the game.

The squad will reach Los Angeles Friday night and will not have time for a workout there before the game.

Several months ago British polo authorities said they were not ready to make a decision because of. uncertain business and political conditions but that further word would be forthcoming. Today E. S. O'Reilly, secretary-treasurer of the United States Polo Association explained that while no word has yet been received it was not expected until late this month.

"The procedure In other years usually has been a cablegram the last few days before the of the year, followed by a letter," O'Reilly said. "It is still possible that the challenge will be filed." The agreement governing the competition requires that the challenge of the prospective invader be received- the year; preceding the matches. Halbert Blue Wins 'Swatfest' Tournament Pinehurst, N. C.

Maloney, roly-poly Boston heavyweight, will launch the third of his eeries of comebacks tomorrow night at the Boston Garden in a 10 round clash with Johnny Dixon, former Boston College football player, who has yet to travel that distance. Being knocked out has never blighted Maloney's drawing powers and his battle with the inexperienced Dixon will be his first start since L'rnie Schaaf flattened him more than a year ago, when he attempted his second comeback. This defeat changed Maloney into a Florida law student and later a wrestler. He abandoned an unsuccessful mat campaign several months ago to return to his old South Boston neighborhood, where he operates a diner-attached gasoline station. Dixon, a promising youngster who has been brought along slowly, has had impressive success as a liminary performer.

His longest bout was a six rounder but he is confident he has the stamina to step 10 fast rounds. Maloney. battling when his opponent wore short trousers, has such a surplus of experience that he has been made a top-heavy favorite. Dixon, however, is counting on a hard right to the jaw, a blow that generally forces Jamesy to take the full count, to earn him a speedy victory. Another pair of Boston heavy weights, Al Grayson and Dick Madden, will provide the six round semifinal and the card will be supported by three five round preliminaries and two four rounders.

National Hockey League. Maroons 1, Toronto 0. Rangers 3, Americans 1, Ottawa 2, Canadiens 0. As far as general interest in foot ball the country over is contained, tomorrows meeting of Notre Dame and Southern California at Los Angeles becomes the high spot of 1932. No national title will be at stake.

but the man-power in both camps is so outstanding that millions of football followers will have their minds focussed on the contest in the big municipal stadium in the West Saturday.v It was in this stadium that Billy Carr, Tolan, HampsOn. Babe Did- rikson, Zabala and others lifted the Olympic games to new heights. But an even greater number of people tnan those who saw any single Olympic show will watch the South Bend Ramblers and the West Coast Trojans scraD it out. The seat sale h.s already passed the 80,000 mark and the 70.000 crowds that saw Army and Notre Dame, Army and Navy. It will reach the 100,000 mark before the klck-tff opens up the fancy pa geant, or power ana skui.

Sensational Notre Dame-South em California battles in the past have only added to the public's keen interest. And this includes the 1931 contest, as so many of the players who met then remain to meet once more and possibly prove a number of disputed points. Notre Dame's Edge. Notre Dame carries the better chance to win this game through a better looking backfield. From the 1931 backfield, which helped the Trojans out with a fourth-quarter rush.

Southern California has lost Mohler, Pinckert, Musick, Mallory and Shaver in a clean sweep. Where Howard Jones had to replace an entire backfield cast with new people. Hunk Anderfon can offer practically the same 1931 set with several high class additions. Notre Dame will throw into action one of the greatest backlields of all time, seven or eighfr stars who In the main are big, fast and experienced. Here you have a running attack, which combines weight as well as speed, deception and driving force.

And It has a forward passing threat and thrust, which must always be watched. It is the assaulting ability of Melinkovlch, Banas, Lukats. Koken. Sheeketski and others that makes Notre Dame the safer selection. Their attack by land and air should be strong enough to break through for two touchdowns, and this should be enough to bring the mid-westerners safely through.

It isn't often that any team has four starting backs up to Notre Dame's Mandard To have these relieved by four others Just as good is something more than most defenses can f-tand against, although Pittsburgh turned the trick back in October. About the time one hp of backs hu. hammered and slashed for fifteen minutes, the other set. fresh and keen, is ready to carry on. Southern California's Chance.

Howard Jones Is a coach who! specializes in fundamentals. His first move is always in the direction of a strong defense. His chance to win must come through a defense strong enough to hold Notre Dame away from his goal line and then play for a winning pass or wait for that winning break. Jones has two good quarterbacks in Griffith and Warburton, but his team nas jacked the punch it carried when Shaver, Pinckert and Mohler were around. His backfield has been well below the average of the Notre Dome DacKncld.

But a strong defense, capable of cracking an opposing offense, can lead to a world of trnuhle. After all, Notre Dame's eight star oacKs were unable to score on Pittsburgh or to carry the ball across the Army's line, and Notre Dame had to take to the air for her winning scores against West POUit. The South Bend contingent It considerably stronger than it was a year ago. It has more experience, for one thing, which is a great help. It is in better physical shane than it was against Southern California or Army a year back.

In addition to this, the West Coast team has lost five or six stars, in-c'uding every backfield regular of 1931. In any summing up of the qualities carried by the two teams, almost every detail favors Notre Dame. But In this amazing scrwn few forecasts have been safe. Many of those that worked out safely were by margins no thicker than the segment of a toy balloon. Notre Dame should win.

but Notre Dame is no 2 to 1 favorite as some careful layers of odds have as (he right price For Notre Dame isn't going to throw passes with the success nt tained in the Army game where her savage running attack had drawn up the Army defense, The of man nower in this game should be heard a long way. South Bpnd's contingent. ls doubly anxious fo wipe out thnt 1931 defeat, and Southern Ca'lfornla Is "olng in with despprate determination to carry on her united, un-vafen year and make that Rose Bowl game look more like a na-'ural.
