ORGASED work on the proposed Galreeton open golf tournament is yelling at Jast. A Junior Chamber of Commeree committee will be get up this week and by Sunday; it may be known whether there is 85000 hereabouts that in willing to go out and fetch what we are tempted to term the biggest sports attraction of a week's burghon ever to grace the Galveston calendar-an attraction that would bring hun dreds of visitors, thousands of dollars and limitless publicity in the island. If the Jaycees put this one over their existence is forevermore justified, though they never hit another lick for] the good of Galveston. * OP SKIPS: Dr. Frank M. Richardson has been @ made worried since 2 vieit last week with Coach Matty Belt of SMU. Like most of the other conference coaches Belt is pes tered by nightmares of a big, woolly bear, neither tame nor of the teddy variety. Next to Baylor, the Methodist mentor is wartied host abou ‘Fexas, A, and M, he eatches at Dallas and probably believes he can lick. Tf, he says, Baylor pets a bit of good quarterbacking and Texas gets some kicking it'll be just too bad for the other conference chums. . . . Galves ton netter Marjorie Murray doesn’t believe that Tayne Johnson of Wichita Fells will defend the gulf coast title she won in 1928 and 1939. Miss Murray, who is also come shucks a3 2 golfer, is going in stronger for that game since she received a set of new sticks for a graduation gift. . . . From now on, the term: “A bunch of guys named Joe? won't. mean mediaa lly in isle softball. Black Hardware, the pacemaker of the flight circuit, has these Joes in the middle of the lineup: Joe Magliolo, Joe Fischer, Joe Monford and Joe Fuste. . .

THE National Baxing Association, which once was just what the name said, absorbed another poke in the jaw when the Texas boxing papas said Lew Jenkins is, too, the lightweight, champion and to heck with anybody hi (hinky different. The NBA once claimed jurisdiction in 44 of 48 states as well 88 various territories and foreign nations. Now it has only 22. One reason for 116 decline has been its relucat, wsu ally with reason, to recognize cerain favorite sons as champions. Texas, once a strong NBA state, has its Jenkins and Louisi fila, Exewise az NBA supporter in times past, has its Jimmy, Forsju, Louisiana is ignoring Pete Scalzo, the NBA feather thump, and considers Perrin as New Orleans the Mc. Big. . * 1) SPEAKING of Jenkins and double-talk, Mr. Ilymie Caplin, the manager of Lew snd successor to Joe Jacons, as the fight rackets master mauler of the language, has a very real grudge against the European war.
