From this il will be seen that while
Bannockburn is out of the race. both of
the other local clubs are very much in
evidence, Chevy Chase being in second
position and Columbia fifth. Columbia
won a match from Baltimore June 30
but protest was lodged and decision
has not yet been made by the officers OF
the association. If Columbia is given this
match, it will be tied with Hermitage for
third place. and Baltimore will be pushed
down a peg. This coming week will be
a very important one to local clubs. Vir-
ginia and Hermitage will be here, and
play all of the local clubs Victories for
the home folks will certainly make a
change in the club standing, it being pos
sible for either Chevy Chase or Columbia
to take the first position. The official
schedule for the last half Of these
matches is given below:
September 13-Hermitage at Columbia. morn
ing: Virginia at Columbia. afternoon.
September 14-virginia at Chevy Chase morn
ing: Hermitage at Chevy Chase, afternoon; vir-
Bannockburn. morning; Hampton at Baltimore,

This summer has certainly been rec
ord breaker for golfers, new marks of
various kinds having been hung up at all
of the local clubs, except Bannockburn.

mark when he registered a II earlier in

legged by some of the Los Angeles critics
that Rivers was living at an automobile
pace" several days before the contest and
that this accounted for his slowness
against Mandot. II it Is true then Rivers
deserved just what he received but ii
not. why all the more credit is due the
little New Orleans boy. When Mandot
was defeated by Ray Temple some months
ago. it was claimed that Joe had been
living too fast a life and got a beating as
a result. Probably Joe profited by the
experience. and when he signed up FOR
the Rivers bout he took good care to train
properly. and get in the very best of
condition while II Joe Rivers did the
opposite he played right into Mandot' S
hands. 1t is unfair to the people who
patrOniZe boxing shows and to the pro-
motors for fighters to neglect their train
ing. OF course betting on bouts is not
sanctioned but there are always friends
of the men on each side who are bound
to bet anyway. and these same friends
expect to see their idols in the proper
shape to make a fight. However, the
boxers themselves are the greatest losers
as many who have paid the penalty for
too much wine. women and song can
attest.

Why. Billy couldn't make 15S ringside

claim to the American title Is Edward
McGoorty of Oshkosh. Wis Mantell is
promising candidate for the honor but he
must run the gantlet of the big ones be-

also states that Papke wanted only 1000

signed reasonable terms. Mantell is also
