Please wire, rollfrl, ynur rea-aons for not Including; him. BROOKLYN DAILY F.ACI.E. Schindler Noses Out Fiber on lee Pnlaee Rink By RALPH 1 HOST 1 Success has come sudden and strange to Wiffy Cox.

Imagine playing in tournaments for 11 years without a single victory to show for It and then, within the short span of two weeks, a whirlwind finish lifting him into a tie with Joe Turnesa for first place in the Jacksonville open and then the triumph, with Willie Macfarlane as partner, in the Miami international four-ball tournament! In short, WtfTy's record shows little of Interest in 11 long years and then In the 12th season, in the very early part of that 12th season, come two wins. Nor is that all that is odd. Wiffy Cox, In his early year Ing sun, stole the show and blazed a trail of birdies that brought back memories of those days when Cruickshank and Farrell got "hot" on the fine La Gorce roiiisc. And nil the while Wiffy laughed. Mac- farlane's string of birdies waa strictly amusing to Wiffy, though Cox did manage to snare the birdie on the 16th which ended the match.

A strange pair, Cox ml Macfar lane. Macfarlane, the etudious-looking, the philosopher, and Cox the brawny and And not a bit of showmanship between them. They make golf look slow and easy and an extraordinarily iimplc game. They wend their way along, chatting continually. No round is so scrloua that (hey cannot enjoy side comment Even when Willie was finishing with a rush in the last Metropolitan open ehiiinnlonshlp.

with Cox Just a shot behind, racing him lor the title, I hey managed to find nuich for The gallery was surprised. They didn't know that golf-el could play and enjoy themselves at the same time. Imagine discuss- Ing the conditions for a brwjge game at night when a birdie on one side and a missed stmt on Hie other might mean the exchange of so valuable a title as the MVinpolltan 0()en! LAUGHS AROUND WHERE THEY ARE The life of the party, these recently crowned best-ball champions. In the dull society of "businessmen golfers" these two are always sought out. They are always the men with galleries, for they have Interests In life apart from the holding of putts and their repetition of gloomy yarns concerning their misfortunes and the other men's luck.

And where they are you'll hear a Willie will probably be telling a story of some man he has taught and Cox of some incidents connected with the strangest pro Job In world, for if any one was ever presented with a comedy-drama for the scene Arriving late in the contest to find his team lagging by ten points, Capt. Dud Lindenbaum of New Lots threw off his hat and coat and immediately made his presence felt by scoring five quick points nd so Inspired his team to a 6 to 2 victory over the New York Evening five at the Jefferson gym last night. Coach Cy Glickenhaus' charges were far behind, 14 to 8, at half-time, which became 18 to 8 at the start of the second half, but with Lindenbaum's entry into the fray the New Yorkers were outclassed. By virtue of this win New Lots gained undisputed possession of first place in the evening loop with 12 victories in 13 games. The lineup: New Lots New York O.

Season's Best First lo Win Challenge of Junior on Trophy League Mrs. William Adams, who learned her game playing at the Rockaway Hunting Club, has the distinction of being the first to win a leg on the challenge trophy that the Junior League put up for the invitation squash racquets tournament which closed yesterday. The Cedarhurst player was the favorite from the very start of the tourney, and yesterday she came through the final round, winning as her rooters and friends had ex pected. In the final round match against Mrs.

H. Stuart Green of Ardsley Mrs. Adams again proved that she is one cf the best players in the sport that is rapidly becoming one of the most popular indoor games for women. It took five long-drawnout games for Mrs. Adams to down the very steady player from Ardsley.

Mrs. Adams lost a close fourth game, but in the rubber game she made her opponent yield and finally won bv a 153, 915, 53, 1618, 1511 score. As both players are noted for their steadiness, it was only natural that the rallies would be long. Stephen Feron the referee, and a host of others who witnessed the contests voiced the opinion that the match was easily the best of the season. Both players were at their best and it was difficult to tell even to the last game what the outcome would be.

It was the fifth game that decided the match. The score slowly reached 11 all, where Mrs. Adams hammered out two aces. This just about discouraged Mrs. Green and she dropped the next two points, to lose the game and trophy.

A shot by Frank Flynn late in the second period gave the game to Bay Shore. The Prep skaters tried desperately to tie the score after this, but the game ended before they were able to accomplish anything.

Time 1:56. By HAROLD F. PARROTT "I have a rule book here," shouted the little man, running up the sde of the court, "and I know the rules." A moment later the little man forgot the rules long enough to rush on the court, halt the game, and herd his players into the dressing room. St. Benedict's Prep wouldn't play another minute In the Columbus K.

of C. tournament, he insisted. But after a discussion he relented, and the game went on, with St. Benedict's winning, 19 to 14, from Fordham Prep in a game that would have been dull and prosaic indeed but for the colorful clash between the little man who was the coach of the winning team and the referees. This little man Ernest Blood, former Passaic High and Army bas.

ketball coach can always be counted on to supply something sensational, It seems. At Passaic he coached a team that had a winning streak that was the longest In history 159 games. He was given to making speeches between the halves about the referees, and once when things grew really slow and tiresome, he surprised the Fordham Prep team which was playing at Passaic by lotting loose a tame bear In the Fordham dressing room. Decision Starts It Last night St. Benedict's, a really good team which had beaten such good teams as St.

John's freshmen earlier in the season, gained a 5-polnt lead on Fordham Prep and then proceeded to freeze the ball, holding It motionless in the back-court. Referee Ed Shaw blew his whistle when things reached the stage where the players sat down on the floor. He called a jump ball and Blood, rushing on the floor, maintained that this was contrary to the rules, for his men had not been guarded closely enough to warrant a Jump ball. Blood ushered his players ofT, and then later ushered them on again. St.

Benedict's, a team vastly superior to Fordham, eked out a close victory in a game that they should have won In the proverbial walk. But It was interesting, to say the least. The Newark boys will need more than a few lucky shots and the ability to freeze the ball today. They must face St. Michael's High of Union City, N.

and the winner Is to face La Salle High of Manhattan in the final of the tour nament. St. Michael's nosed out Xavier in a fast game last night, 21 to 20, and St. John's, the last of the Brooklyn teams, lost a half-time lead to finally bow to La Salle, 20 to 18. The lineups: La Salle I 81.

Loughran's jabs grew weaker and they began to lose accuracy. He missed many blows, whereas Schaff was connecting more solidly than Loughran may still have been more spectacular to ringsidcrs in the waning moments, but those close to the ropes saw something else.

In the last four rounds they saw Schaff slow him up repeatedly with lusty digs to the body, and more than once Tom took some hard facers to the head that made him purse his lips and blink. Schaff Poorly Treated THAT Loughran was being well punished in the seventh, eighth and ninth rounds was evidenced in the final round when Tom hardly more than attempted to "stall" off the combative Boston heavyweight. The crowd, by the way, stuck with Tom to the finish. More than once, in fact, Schaff's efforts were treated with real injustice. Twice, to my recollection, they "booed" Schaff when he missed Tom with well-meant punches There's no justification for that even though Schaff is neither a pooular nor an unpopular scrapper.

The decision, I might add, went over big with ringside and gallery. Whereat Mr. Sharkey once more grinned sardonically but which in no way alleviated Mr. Schaff's palpable chagrin when the verdict was announced.

Last year thrre was a decided drop and the Spring meeting found only $296,615 swarded in the form of stakes and purses. BOWIE HORSES READY TO RACE Now we have the promise of a total of $335,000 this Spring. That means a difference of $39,000 more than was paid out last Spring. It is the plan of James O'Hara and John Parrell, the principal stockholders, 1o make the purses and stakes as valuable as possible in order to attract the better grade of thoroughbreds to the early meeting.

Bowie always was with racegoers and next to Pimlico, which is the leader among the race tracks of Maryland, its attendance is always up to the notch In numbers and of notable persons. A letter recently received from Bowie states that there are already over 400 horses on the grounds. They wintered there. Because of the open weather during the past six weeks this Winter brigade is much further advanced in training than in other seasons. They will be able to cope successfully with the division of thoroughbreds which are on their way from Miami, Havana and New Orleans.

Superintendent Dick Pending says that there are 1.300 stalls on the srounds and that all have been claimed for the Spring meeting. As the old Benning track. Laurel and Pimlico tracks are within motoring distance to ship horses to Bowie, it is quite likely that there will be 2,000 thoroughbreds ready draw from for entries during the first 11 day meeting of the season. WHEN EXTERMINATOR PROVED HIS CLASS General Manager Joseph A. Far-rell states that requests have been made for all the private boxes in the club house section and nearly every reservation in the grandstand.

As (ho Rnui grandstand and club house face the sun the meetings of the early Spring and lato Fall are held in comfort for the patrons of the There is always a feeling of joy among the Eowie racegoers when they realize that merry Spring has given Jack Frost the boot. The Havre de Grace meeting opens on April 13 and continues for 12 days. Joseph McClelland, racing secretary of the Harford Agricultural and Breeders Association, announces a generous response to the four $10,000 stakes which will be run off at that popular course a few days before the season opens at the Jamaica track. More than $11,000 in purses will be offered daily, with the value of no overnight event less than $1,200. This means that the value of the uurses of the.

past will remain intact. The $10,000 Harford Handicap, a fix furlong sprint for three-year-olds and upward, will De run off on Wednesday, April 15. This event promises to attract a capacity firld of the best speedsters in training. It was in this lace that Exterminator proved that, he was not only truly great as a race horse but an exceptional one. He did something that few long distance horses were ever able to duplicate (hi by establishing the fact that he had the ability of sprinter as well as the stamina of a cup horse.

CHESAPEAKE STARES BRINGS OUT CHAMPS With 132 pounds up and Aicert Johnson in the saddle, Exterminator when 7 years old 7 yean old, mind you! beat the crack sprinter Billy Kelly, with similar weigh', and the fast three-year-old Dextrous. And Old Bones did the trick Aith his head nodding. That was the season Exterminator won the Brooklvn Handicap, carryin? 135 pounds', with Grey Lag carrying 126. On Saturday, April 18. the Handicap, one mile arid a tixteenth, for three-year-olds and upward, will be decided.

This is usually a sort of public trial for the rich Dixie Handicap, whic.fi is run off later at Two-year-c'ds will hav their innings on Wednesday, April 22. when the Aberdeen, a spin of four and a half furlongs, will be staged.

It was the winner second win in three days. as a tournament piaycr, was uiuwu as an out-and-out slugger, a chap possessed of tremendous power and, according to Macdonald Smith, the ability to cover more ground with a drive and an iron any other golfer in the world. Wiffy Cox, according to Miamians, is a second Hagen around tiie greens, a bit short off the tee, perhaps, and not Sara-zen's equal lor length through the fairways, but withal a muster on the putting greens.

And, as you'll recall, we have In circulation a new golf ball which measures several hundredths inches wider than the 1.62, an increase which, according to mathematics, should make it that much more difficult to get Into the hole, since the width of the cup remains Just where It was before the change in the ball was made. COX AS A IIAGKN IS NEW THOUGHT Wiffy Cox, as a second Hagen, Is a new thought. Here on Long Island, and in the Fort Hamilton section of Brooklyn In particular, that idea should draw chuckles, for Wilfred Hiram Cox has been a notoriously poor putter. Something entirely unexpected has happened to Wiffy Cox. Since his change in style of play three years ago he has lost length but gained wondrous accuracy on shots through the fairway.

But he putted ana cntppea poorly. Tourna ment after tournament found him hitting the ball stralghter from the tee, reaching more greens with the orthodox second than his opponents ana scoring rewer birdies. Yet In the Jacksonville tournament Cox had no fewer than seven birdies in his last, and tying, round. That the veteran Scot, Willie Macfarlane, should have done well with Cox as a pnrtner was logical. They have always played well together.

They seem to spur each other on. They are both steady golfers, with Wiffy the stronger through the fairway and Macfarlane at his best where a mashie-niblick and putter have plenty of work. Yet we find that in rising to victory at Miami they put together a sort of hodge podge of golf which was characteristic of neither man and triumphed. BIRDIES KEPT MATCH ALIVE Through the early matches It was Cox who carried the burden with Jovelike simplicity. Then with victory in sight Wiffy bobbed up with a most awful topped shot, only to recover with a brilliant stroke tha skinned the needled ui pine trees ror a 200 yards to the green.

In full the final it was WifTy's succession of birdies on the 34th and 35th holes which created the tie and sent the two teams on to their 40-hole tie. But in the playoff Macfarlane. his hands blistered from the scorch- Brokers Down Aviators' Five Special to The Eagle Garden City, L.

Caulks on Shoes For Wet Weather ONE. -SSUL' ri AND Hk6LA By SOL METZGEK More than one golfer has missed a shot when club was under way on the downswing because his feet wouldn't cling to the muddy slope he stood upon on a rain-soaked course. Others have unceremoniously had their feet out from under them under the same conditions, to sit down suddenly ti the mud, white knickers and all. There is just one sure footing when a course is wet. It's- to see caulks in the soles of your rhoes.

Mama won't like you to wear tnem as you cross the Oriental rug v. hen you report back home late for dinner. Nevertheless they are the things to have on the soles of your feet when a course is slippery The caulks used in all of golf shoes are most practical. Golf shoe manufacturers stole a page from the book of the lumberjack whe has used them for many yfars. If you have ever seen these if.Ilows in a log-rolling contest you tully realize how perfectly they keep their footing when the log is spinning.

Caulks do it. They'll treat you to a like firm footing on rouddy and grassy slopes where holding on is otherwise impossible. Unless you understand the pivot you cannot hope to shoot good golf.
