NEW YORK, Dec, 18—</P>—Disay
Dean hasn't popped off in a week
now and St. Looey folks are wor
ried. They fear the calm before the
storm .... Trust little Rabbit Ms
ranvllle to rise to the occasion.
Called on for a speech at a Mon
treal baseball meeting, the Rabbit
delivered—in French . . . Arthur
Donovan, the New York referee, got
*500 plus expenses for less than two
minutes' work in the Louis-Slmms
fight .. . . Eddie Collins' son, Paul
will be ordained an Episcopal min
ister at Hays, Kans., Sunday.
At a banquet for Ace Parker
at Portsmouth, Va., the other
night, a speaker from Norfolk
raid: “It is a pleasure for me to
participate in this tesilmonal.
Over in Norfolk we seldom have
an opportunity to do anything
like this. We send our boys to
the University of Virginia and
never hear from them again”
. .. . Ouch . . . When the Brook
lyn football Dodgers shellacked
the St Louis Terriers 100 to 0,
the Oklahoma City Oklahoman
captioned the story: “And
please don’t ask us who pitch
ed." . . . Judge Landin is look
ing for a farm in Kentucky,
away from the Fellers and such.
One reason the Schmellng-Brad
dock fight will not go to Berlin if
because Mike Jacobs, one of the pro
moters, will never consent . . . The
pitcher for whom Rogers Hornsby
asked $60,000 last spring, took an
awful licking in the averages. His
earned run average was 7.27 and
they made 174 runs off his delivery
in 26 games .... Johnny Riskc
says he spotted Joe Louis’ weakness
Monday night. Oh yeah?
Those who know what's been
going on down there hope North
Carolina State decides in rive
Hunk Anderson a new contract
.... Jack Chevigny's job at
Texas may go to Clatr Cherry,
Amarillo high coach. Kansas
a loo is flirting with Cherry . . .
It probably will not add to the
sum of Judge Landis’ happiness
to hear he probably hasn’t heard
the last of the Feller case . . .

Golf Was Easier
To Professionals
CORAL GABLES, Fla., Dec. 18.—
(£*)—Golf was earler In 1936—at least
the professional club-swingers made
It appear so.
So many strokes were saved by
top-flight pros they had to shoot
73 or better consistently to collect
enough prise money for their ex
penses.
Record of the P. G. A. today show
ed 11 professionals, playing from
58 to 92 tournament rounds this
year, averaged fewer than 73
strokes for 18 holes.
Last year's king of professional
medalists was Paul Runyan, who
ivon the Radix cup with an average
3f 73.29 strokes for his 55 rounds
of tournament play.
This year Ralph Guldahl of St.
Louis was the Radix prizeman with
71.63 for 66 rounds, and two others,
Harry Cooper and Henry Picard,
bettered Runyan's 1935 average,
rheir seasons averaged 71.84 and

The former manager of Jack

"rising all champions,” has turned
! promoter In his own right—the first
time In his many turbulent years
in the game.
Kearns has set up shop with
James D. Norri6, owner of Olympic
stadtum, on an agreement whereby
he will stage shows in the home ol
Detroit Red Wings, Stanley cup

"But this town’ll draw—I know
it," said Keams. “It’s a logical spot
for a championship fight. Well
outdraw New York. Why, Jersey
Phllly and Chicago outdrawed New
York two to one.”
Forthwith, he said he will bar
gain for Louis to meet the winner
of next June’s heavyweight cham
