I still can't figure out why the
New York boxing experts boost Har-
ry \Vills for a. title bout With Jack
Dempsey. They hold up his three-
round victory over Freddy Fulton—
whom Dempsey flattened before the
timers had a. chance to clock the
seconds—as one argument.
They forget that Wills failed to
lick Bill Tate, once Dempsey’s spar-
ring partner; Sam Langford. Sam
McVey or Clem Johnson. It should
be pointed out that both the Sams
were in their dotage when they tack
lcd Harry the Terrible.
Maybe \Vills had his ordcrs to
let these boys live. Maybe not. That
doesn't matter. His record shows no-
thing to indicate he is a. ferocious
man cater.
Also. even Wills' friends admit
he had brittle hands. No sent with

Plan to Hold Sectional
Tryouts for Profes-
sional Golf Players
NEW YORK. April 11.-—-I’ro-rat-
ing of the number, of players accord-
ing to the number of entries for the
national open [championship has
been decided upon by the Profession
at Golfers' Association. Dates and lo
cations were determined at a spec-
ial meeting. Eastern golfers will
quality at tho \V‘orccster, Mass.
Country Club and \V‘esterners at
the Oak Park Country Club near
Chicago.
Qualifying tests will be made of
thirty-six holes. eighteen being play-
ed in each section on May 27 ,and
the other eighteen on the following
day. The championship seventy-two-
holc play will be conducted the fol-
lowing week at Detroit, the dates
are not. being definitely fixcd as yet
but a decision is expected to be
made at the meeting of the United
States Golf Association at its meet—
ing at Pine Valley next Friday.
The decision to pro—rate the en-
tries in the Eastern and \V’CStcrn
sections is an innovation. It was felt
in golfing circles when it was de-
cided to hold sectional qualifying
tests that the Eastern golfers would
have a. harder time getting into
the championship than those in thc
\Vest because of the fact that there
would be a. greater number of high-
class performers entered from this
section. Honexer. under the decision
made by the P. G. A. committee
the number of entries will offset the
difficulties.
The lowest eighty players and ties
will qualify for the championship
and if there are twice as many c'om‘
peting in the East as there are in
the \\'estern qualifying round. then
twice as many mu get in from this
section.
There is to be a. team match be-
txvecn the East and \V’est on the day
preceding the championship play.

sent their rcspcctive divisions of the

The Executive Committee of the
P. G. A. also ratified the decision
of the U. S. G. A. made recently to
allow the open titlcholdcr to stand
out of the qualifying round. and Bob
