These expeditions would cost, a tremendous amount of money, too. The amateur athlete is supposed to be a frugal young man, interested in nothing but the game for the game's sake, but you would be surprised at the novel touches he can get in an expense account. You would never think that an amateur tennis player would ever have any need for a sewing machine, would you? Yet one tennis association sent out a stalwart young representative who included one of those instruments in his expense account. Said he just couldn't get along without one, and as he was a very fine player, the association humored his eccentricity.

In an attempt to save the famous pitching arm of Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants, physicians prepared for an operation today to remove a loose bone from the elbow of the Southpaw's ailing arm. Decision to operate on King Carl was made Saturday after he flew here by plane to consult with Dr.

J. Spencer Speed, Memphis specialist. The loose bone, according to Doctor Speed, must be removed if Hubbell ever hopes to recover. Doctors refused to comment on whether removal of the bone will mean that the Giants' ace can return to big league service. There is a faint possibility, however.

Doctor Speed indicated, that Hubbell mayi be able to try his arm out before thn season is over. Thin rienends on VIE FOR POBLIC LINKS GOLF GOP CLEVELAND, Aug. 22.

More than 250 public links stars, representing twenty-nine states, Hawaii and the District of Columbia, will tee off in qualifying rounds designed to narrow the Held to sixty- four by tomorrow night.

The tournament is scheduled to end Sat-. urday. The linksmen. representing Amer ica's middle class, come from every vocational field. There are gas workers, policemen, firemen, musicians, clerks, laborers, icemen, office-boys, mechanics, salesmen, factory workers and every other type of worker.

It is the largest field in the event's history. The entrants have viea witn more! than 1,000.000 other public links players in their respective districts throughout the Country for the right to play for the national crown. Former Winners Enter Defending Champion Bruce McCormick is a Los Angeles fireman. Last year's runnerup and medalist is Don Erickson, Alhambra (Calif.) Gas Company employe.

The first two rounds of matches will be played Wednesday, the third and fourth rounds Thursday, the thirty- six-hole semi-finals Friday and the thirty-six-hole final Saturday. The class of golf produced at the Lanks tourneys al ways compares favorably with that at the National Amateur champion ships, reserved exclusively for pri vate club members. As a result, many public links stars have been graduated to the private clubs division. Teams will compete for the Warren G. Harding Trophy.

0 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 5' 12 brazil, ind 0010 001 0 2 8 2 naitenes By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent BOSTON. Aug. 22. I had a thought today that, rightly' enough, concerned cups the sort of cups that the athletes of all nations are always trying to win. A 1 ready we have the Davis Cup, the Wight man Cup, the Cur.

tis Cup, the Ryder Cup, the Walker Cup, the Westchester Cup, the Stanley Cup, and the A i a's Cup, to name a few. Why not, I Henry McLemore thought, add a few more cups and keep the nations of the world so busy trying to win and retain them that they wouldn't have time to wage war on one another? It looks like a simple way to preserve peace, if you ask me. Cups don't cost much. The America's Cup, for example, wouldn't bring $100 if boiled down to its essential oils, and the Stanley Cup has about the same financial rating as Uncle Louie's old shaving mug. For the price of one machine gun you could buy enough cups to decorate every national mantle from Finland to Tibet.

Hee? Athletes Busy Striving for sports cups would not only occupy all the time of the would-be belligerent nations, but would make great inroads on their manpower and gold reserve. I never have figured up how 'many athletes engage in cup chasing each year, but it runs into the thousands. A nation would think twice before declaring war if thousands of its finest young men were in a foreign country, cup hunting. Saturday's Sports TENNIS Newport, R. I.

All of this 'Cup rivalry would lead toward peace in still another direction.
