(Young) Stribling, Georgia heavyweight boxer, was fatally injui- ed in a motor-cycle ci - ash three years ago, but Max Schmeling has not forgotten the man he knocked out of the way to the world’s heavyweight championship. A Macon (Geoi’gia) florist, recently received an order directing that “the finest pot of poinsettias” in his shop be placed on Stribling’s grave on Christmas Day. Schmeling asked that the following be placed on the card : “In fond memory of days spent together—in loving friendship.” * * * * Loiterers Beware ! A novel suggestion for special “traffic cops” to solve the problem of delays due to slow players in big golf tournaments, has been made by Archie Compston. “The ‘cop,’ who should wear a unifoi’m, would pick out the defaulters and administer a warning. If this was disregarded he would have the power to order the players to drop out of their position and allow the faster players to proceed,” he declared. * * •* * Just a Habit Jesse Owens” habit of setting the pace makes it no surprise that he was voted the outstanding athlete, amateur or professional, of 1936 by the Associated Press of America. But it was surprising that he should almost ti’eble the vote received by his neai’est rival. As a contest conducted by American papers it was natural that United States performers would predominate. But some concessions were made to “foreigners.” Max Schmeling was placed third, Fred Perry sixth, and Jack Lovelock fourteenth.
