Gene Sara- J zen and Johnny Farrell, two illus trious home breds. ? were knocked | galley west by Kill Melhorn and Mc Donald Sm it h in the first round of; t lie first annual international pro fessional golf team championship at Miami. Maybe the richness of the purses j ? 1 1.500 tir the winner, $1,000 to S the runner up and $500 for the semi finalists ? was too much for the pair, of youngsters. It's pretty early in the Hi'asou and it may be that Our! pros have to become accustomed to money stakes. \ On the other hand this does not explain hew Melhorn and Smith came to win as handily as they did, uulcss it be that the sight of money j had an. effect upon them cllametri- ' rally opposite to that exerted upon Smiling Johnny and Genial Geio-. Melhorn seems to have been in one of his inexplicable putting moods. He did the first nine in :;2 and h? and Smith had a bust ball of 31 for tlio first nine. Or, again, '.lie tlic/rough lacing Sa raze n and Farrell received may haw been due to tho fact that the two men are reported to have ar-j rived at Miami from Cuba la'" on the night before the match. In any event, they, or any other pair, would have found a III and 00 fort the round Just a bit t? o : vil't. So ? the only hcrmc bred pair in the field. Walter llagen and Joe Kirkwood polished off ICnim'et French and Clarence Hackney. Tho victims seem to have made it interesting for] Walter and his trick shot partner] until the last nine holes when they! succumbed to the steady shooting of the distinguished pair. Walter llagen may be slipping, as some nay, but if so ? Judging by, his play this winter ? Babe Ruth,1 Dompst y, Welssmuller and all the champions are on the tobaggan with him. Which ? lest there be any misunderstanding means that Wal ter Is still a champion, mentally,! and physically.

Lew Ten*r ler has been on the shelf suffering from an injury to his hip which he twisted in evading one of Plnkey Mitchell's well known body blow . The more one hears of Lew the clearer it seems to be that the at tempt to put him in line for Benny Leonard is doomed to tie a biuL ? s pf 'l endler think he should take a well earned retirement. He has always ben a willing fighter and has given the patrons of boxing a lot for their money. Certainly he ill have to begin to do something pretty quick if he hopes to hook up with Leonard in an outdoor attrac tion this summer. Among the opponents mentioned i for .\o otone in i.'ie near future is Jimmy Delaney. Stone is doing the right thing in keeping as busy as he I is just now it does seem that Jimmy j Delaney wcruld he a good hircl for Stone to pass up ? for the time being anyway. Boxing critics had abundant op portunity of seeing Delaney work when he served as sparring partner to Tommy Gibbons at Shelby.
