The fame will be played in total dark less. The bats, balls, bases, base ines, players caps and all gloves ind the umpire’s hands will be il uminated with phosphorous paint. Jumont said it will cost about $200 or the first game. About, six rallons of phosphorous to illutnin te the park.... Billy Conn referring to Joe Lou s as “the big fellow” said: ‘ Sure can beat him- I am more eon inced of it than ever. I had him icked all the way in our first ight. but got careless in the thir ;eenth round when he hit me. ‘‘The big fellow will be nry next >pptonent. And he’ll still be cham pion when T lick him- Nobody ilse is going to turn this trick.” Speaking of Lou Nova as Joe’s Opponent he said: “The big fellow will stiffen him. Nova is a lead pipe cinch for a fighter like Louis. The only way to beat Louis is to move with him or faster than him and Nova can’t do that.” Conn said that every time Louis hit him it hurt and Johnny Ray, Conn’s manager said: “I got all the fight I wanted in that Louis battle and I have no plans for ac tion for some time.” NINE CHAMPIONSHIPS TO FEATURE NATIONAL BRIDGE TOURNAMENT New’ York, Aug. 1 <ANP) Nine championships will be the feature of the ninth annual contract cham pionships of the American Bridge association to be held this year in Detroit from August 17 r.o 2’i Executive secretary Arthur R. Curiel, in making the announce ment this week, spoke with high craise of this year’s hosts, the GJogginettes club, wjio report every thing will be in readiness for wbat Is expected to be the best tourna ment of the association’s history. Of outstanding importance and calculated to be a big attraction is the novice open pair champion ship. sponsored this year for the first time for the benefit of bridge players who do not feel themsel ves sufficiently capable of compet ing against the more expert play ers. The “Gogginette Trophy for Novice Open Pairs” will be award ?d to the winner in the form of a replica. The cream oi the crop, however, will be locked in competition for :he masters individual champion ship. Only top ranking players according to total master point, lolding are eligible for this event Dr. A- M. Curtis of Paterson. N. 1. is last year’s winner and will be 3nitered again in Detroit. Perhaps by far the largest num ber of entries will be in the two open pair championships for mas ters and for non-masters. This expectation is based upon the cen tral location of the host city and reports of probable attendance from areas not heretofore repres ented in the nationals such as New Orleans. St. Louis, Montgomery, and Los Angeles. The 1940 win ner in the open pair were Miss Hazel Facey and L- A. Fields of New York City. Considered one of the favorite events, is the mixed pair champ ionships. In previous years this has been a strong puller of entr ies. The current champions are Mrs. Cassie Davis ind G- F. Benoit of New York City. Of course, tremendous interest will probably be shown by the weaker sex for the woman’s pair championships won in 1940 by Mrs Rosanna Johns and Mrs. Eloise Morris of New York. Because of the large female membership of the Gogginettes besides their role as receptionists, this event is des tined to draw a considerable local turn out. In the team of four play ‘here is expected to be strong “stop Chicago” movement in view of the past successes of the Windy City’s team- They won in 1937 in Chi cago, in 1938 at Washington and in 1940 at Atlanta where they took the Dr- Jose N. Cesteros trophy out of competition. O. A. Mcore, Lawrence Buser. James P. Holt and Oliver Landry, last years winners, will be there battling to the end. The othier events will be the men’s pair, non-masters; and the men’s pair masters. Two legs on the trophy for the latter event are held by Leon A- Jones. Washing ton; Joseph Niles, New York City; and Charles Shipley of Baltimore. Last year’s winner were Dr. J. A. Pierce of Atlanta and Tom M Griffin of New York City. CSGA GOLF PREREVIEW (A Weekly Feature) by DUB SLICER EPISODE NO. 9— grass Greens have sand but Sand Greens don’t have grass and they ain’t even green, but they are green just the same even if they are sand Well folks the ole Coo-Coo clock sittin’ on th»e mantle keeps tickin’ away fast and faster and the starting time to the Central Stat es Tourney keeps getting short and shorter and us dubbers and slicers and hookers keep working hard and harder. Yass the way that minute hand keeps chasing the hour hand around this old time piece is something terrifc. But we shall be ready for the visitors when the time comes. Anne Howe! This is the 10th of August 1941 B. T. (Before Tournament) In two short weeks the skies over the Johnny Goodman links will be dimmed with the swooping, whizz ing and whirring little white pel lets. In this the greatest of all Sepia golfing wars of the Central States Area, all goffing guys and gals in their vari-colored goffmo biles from various villages and golflets of our goffing golfdom will be here togged out in the very latest sport attire. There will be shiny silver trophies emblematic of victory and golfing perfection. There will be dainty and refresh ing food stuff to appease those ap petites of the great open space. Then we shall dance in the beauti ful setting of the Fontenelle Pav ilion and sing “Let’s Go Out to the Golf Links” (wihile we are already there) Then after golfing hours we shall dance some more at the Silver Trophy Dance to be given at the Dreamland and later on and before we shall partake of Pepsi Cola. Root Beer and other cola and soda and play games. Those Fellers from the Peepuis Store down town sure did get a kick out of their goff game. Com ing up to No- 3 at Elmwood Sun day one of them wanted to know “What kind of a ball game is this anyway, when you can’t win wit “per”?” Another asked “Per” what?” and he says “Per 4”. The per 4 guy kept watching herb <as a lot of players will be doing be fore the tournament is over.) So j after “Per 4” dubbed his drive in to the bushes off of No. 6. He persuaded Herb through the use of some store talk, to shoot his (per 4’s) second shot. And Herb being the good golfer that he is. laid the ball dead at the pin, an’ Per 4 got a birdie 3. Naturally the other 4 players in his group were suspicious at per 4’s sudden from 10’s to birdies. But while Herb was helping his friend in dL tress, the Dubber, dubbed in three birdies in a row for both sendy cakes and girdie cakes- So one of the fellows from Peepuis Store says to Herb: “See. that’s what you get trying to play two games at once ” The Dubber wishes to individ ually and collectively thank thp naborhood business men for their wholehearted cooperation and al most 100 percent backing of our golfgram. It is indeed encourag ing to know that they are cooper ating with such a fine group of outdoor sportsmen as is represent | ed by the Central States group. _ John Simms says he’s Going to prove that he is the outstanding Competative flight player in Sepia amaha by winning his flight in the World Herald tournament. So ths week he enters the quarter finals. We are rooting for you Simsy ole boy. Winning golfers are something we can’t get enough of—if I ain’t on the other end of the sendy cake ” A number of requests for Tour nament reservations have already been received from St. Louis, To peka. Des Moines and Minneapolis. Photos of the Central States players and their affiliates are al so in great demand this week by the National News Press Lonnie wanted to know when I found time to write this column, so I seys I didn’t have to find time because I write it in my' sleep and he said that accounted for a lot of things. What does LL mean by the 4Dubber \flashing his face all the way to the back of his neck ’ I ain’t that “ball”, or am I? Remember that new lumberman In was telling you about a few weeks ago? About him measur ing the LONG HOLES the SHORT | and MEDIUM sized ones....
