PLAY FOR RED CROSS

Although the George Washington

the Intercollegiate League honors
last night by defeating the Catholic

these Brooklanders still insist that the

Schelke has been placed in charge
Of his horses there. ScheIke also

A substantial portion of the
horses already Quartered near Bow

Present indications are that only
a small portion of these horses will
race at Bowie. 1t is expected that
the majority of them will wait un-
til the middle OF April when they
move down to Havre de Grace be-
fore they begin operations.
Mclean visited his stable Friday

NO TITLE COLE
THIS SEASON
Middle Atlantic Coll. Asso-
ciation Will Hold Patri-
otic Tournaments.

There will be no championship
tournaments held under the auspices
Of the Middle Atlantic Golf Associa-
tion this year. this course, being
decided upon at the annual meeting
Of that body which was held at the
New Willard last night. Members
of the association viii not be de-
MED having an opportunity OF COM
petttive play. however. as the asso-
citation decided to hold q patriotic
event for the benefit of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, and the event will
probably be played over the Mary
land Country Club course on May
30, May 81 and June !.
The association decided to depart
from its regular order OF awarding
its events until after the war Is
over, and will only give these '-pa-
trtotic" events o the larger clubs,
where the chance Of larger financial
returns IL better. The Columbia
Country Club will therefore get the
1919 event unless conditions change
sufficiently to warrant going back
to the regular title events, In which
case the regular order will be re-
verted to with Chevy Chase getting
the first of the regular ones.
Baltimore received most Of the
offices this year, getting three of
the i've, which incidentally makes
up the executive committee. r. Lee
Slingluff. OF the Maryland Country
Club, was chosen president, while
T. C. De Rossett, of the same club,
was made secretary. Alpheus Win
ter, Of Columbia, was the only local
man given q position, he being
made vice president. r. ]. D.
Mackay. Of the Country Club of Vir,
ginia, wa reelected first vice pres
ident, while Yates Penniman. of the
Baltimore Country Club, was made
treasurer for the thirteenth con-
secutive year.
Besides the dates for the patriotic"
event, other tentative tournament
dates announced were as follows:
Washington Golf and Country Club,
May 2, 8 and 4; Baltimore Country
Club. May 6, and s, and Chevy Chase
Club. May 9, 10 and II.
Those present at last nights meet
ing were: Chevy Chase Club: Walter
R. Tuckerman and John II. Clapp;
Columbia, Alpheus Winter, DR.. Lee
L. Harlan and John c. Davidson;
Bannockburn. DIR. ]. r. DeFarges and
DR.. Thomas ]. W. Brown; Washing
ton Golf and Country Club, George
f. Truett and DR.. James T. McCleni-
han: Baltimore Country Club. Yates
Penniman. and Maryland Country
Club, r. Lee Slingluff.
The District OF Columbia Golf AS
sociation holds its annual meeting at
the Commercial Club tomorrow night
and 1t will no doubt follow along the
lines of the Middle Atlantic oody and
arrange patriotic" tournaments in
stead of its title ones.

CHANEY, MUST
HUSTLE TO WIN
Baltimore Bantam-weight
Meets Tough Opponent
in Benny Valger.

Baltimore, Nd, March THE most
attractive bantsm-weight boxing con-
test to be arranged here since the Kid
Williams-Johnny Ertle mill has been
booked for next "Wednesday evening
in the pairing Of Young Chaney, of
this city, and Benny Valger, the
French champion.
CLANCY and Valger have been book
ed for a fiftcen-round battle by the
American Athletic Association, which
recently staged the big all-star show
at the Lyric, which was featured by
the combat between George CLANCY,
the Knockout King, and Eddie Wal
lace, Of Brooklyn. The Chaney-Val-
ger setto. however. will not be held
at the Lyric, but at Albaugh's Thea
ter on North Charles street, the next
largest playhouse, where the glove
sport is promoted in this city.
Local followers of the mitt game are
looking forward to one of the most
spirited encounters of the season
when CLANCY and Valger step to the
center OF the arena. Valger's defeat
Of Joe Lynch, the New York sensa-
ton, stamps him as one of the most
dangerous rivals for the bantam
crown now in the possession of Pete
Herman, Of New Orleans.
Lynch, it will be recalled, reached
the pinnacle of fame on a single even
ing when he scored the first knockout
over Kid Williams that the Baltimore
Wolf Boy sustained during his bril-
liant career as a topnotcher. In stop
ping Williams in four rounds Lynch
accomplished a feat that stumped
the worlds greatest bantams, and
Valger's victory over the Gothamite
put the Frenchman among the fore
most challengers for Herman's lau-
rels.
Not since Williams developed into a
star Of the first magnitude has a local
mauler of Chaney's poundage shown
so much promise. The East Balti-
morean's triumph over Battling Red
dy, one of the toughest Of the larger
bantams in the country, attracted
attention and the tall local bantam
is now regarded as this city's best
looking candidate for the champion
ship held by Herman.
CLANCY is q cleyerer boxer than Will
liams, but he does not carry the force
behind his punches os does the former
champion. II Clancy wins he will
challenge Williams to a contest, the
weight to be lis or 120 pounds. Man
ager Henry Blezter, who will stage
Wednesday evenings bout, is arrang-
ing q strong set of prelims.

BRENNAN-DEMPSEY
DRAW SMALL COIN

New York, March 2-The fight fans
OF Milwaukee evidently figured that
Jack Dempsey would dispose of Bill
Brennan, the Chicago heavy-weight,
in few rounds, as they did not
patronize the bout in as large num-
bers as Frank Mulkern, The manager
OF the West Side A. c., had expected.
The gross receipts only amounted to
A.ao. which is rather small Tor a
scrap between these two, big fellows.
Dempsey received close to $500 for
his end, while Brennan drew down
1.05o. Brennan will not fight again
for several weeks, as he sprained his
ankle during the contest,

contest. The Props kept Catlin and
Payne so well guarded that they were
able to shoot but few baskets from
scrimmage. AT the end Of the first
quarter the boys Y were leading s-to-
1. At the half the downtown aggre-
