Georges Carpenter Is
Sued For Libel
By Lewis

LONDON, May 31.-Ted (Kid)
Lewis, British middleweight boxer,
recently knocked out in the first
round by Georges Carpenter, has
brought suit against the French
champion for libel. Lewis claims
an article purporting to have
been written by Georges after
their fight, entitled, what I
Think of Lewis" which appeared
in Town Topics" was libelous.
The situation is amusing Lon
don, because Carpenter probably
was unaware of the contents of
the article until its lblication.
There was bad feeling between
the boxers.

This Is the second time recently
that young pitchers have engaged
in q memorable battle. Fans will
remember long the Understanding
scOreless duel between Farmer, Of
st. Teresa, and Lefty Jones, OF the
LinwOrth Seniors.
Farmer and Jones will oppose
again. So will Jeffries and Linger,
St. Teresa and the Linworth Seniors
will be rivals in the senior class OF
the city series, and Liberty A. c.,
and probably the Anacostia Eagles
will compete in the junior class.
Lem Owen, long leading pitcher
on Washington lots, has returned
from the Pacific Coast and Is due
to win q lot OF games for Silver
Spring. He started by holding
Costello Post to two hits while
Silver Spring romped to 15-tO-0
victory.
Ordinarily the semi-pro chest
swells not when a strictly sandlot
team is the victim, but Silver Spring
is particularly pleased in having
knocked off Costello Post. Several
weeks ago the ex-Yanks gave the
semipros a disagreeable surprise by
setting them down in rather decisive
fashion.
Friendship A. c., Of southeast,
still believes the senior LnwOrth
team Is not so good despite 5-to-2
trimming dealt by Mrs. Rocks
lads. Another little argument to
be settled in the city series.
Sherwood A. c., managed by Ivan
Thompson, a capable chap, is in high
spirits today. Sherwood walloped
its neighborhood rival. Langdon, IL
to 8. but sweeter than that, pou nded
to defeat one Simonds, who quit
Sherwood to join Langdon.
Arlington A. c., strongly backed
by dwellers Of the region Of Arllng-
ton, Va, tastes defeat for the first
time. Chris Hutchinson's Manhat-
tans took the measure OF Airing
ton, 8 to 5, after the Virginians

Salt and
Pepper
By r. ID. THOMAS.

Toughest OF all hard luck that
befalls q pitcher Is the loss OF
no-hit game, but when both
moundsmen In contest achieve
the same brilliant feat there Is
some solace to the loser.
Young Charlie Jefferies, of the
Liberty A. c.. and lad named Lin
ger. of the Anacostia Eagles, today
claim city-wide attention for such a
performance. Linger triumphed by
l to o, on the Randle field in south
east in a game that required less
than one hour to play.
Not the least notable fact con-
cerning the feat Of each Is that def
ferries and Linger hung up their
second no-hit games Of the season.
A base on balls to Meyers in the
sixth inning beat Jeffertes. Meyers
worked his way around and scored
on a sacrifice ny.

Some years ago in a match in an
important tournament one player
stood nine up on mis- opponent at
tho turn All he had to do was to
halve ono Of the remaining holes
to cinch q victory, but he never
did. After q tie ar the eighteenth,
his opponent having won the last
nine holes also won the extra hole

nerves were completely shot to

A bit of arithmetic showed the
committee at Columbia that allow.
ing five minutes for each pair at
the tee would consume something
Inore than twelve consecutive hours
starting.
The Columbia committee there.
fore decided to split the field in
the qualifying round and select
one hundred local players for the
first days qualifying. The out-of.
town men who could not possibly
be notified in time for today's
starting, will tee off tomorrow in
regularly approved fashion.
After half q dozen schemes were
\ talked over the decision reached
appeared most logical and fol.
lpws the accepted procedure Of
the national open, except that
after the qualifying rounds, six
sixteens will be selected for match
'splay.

Nothing in the history Of anna
teur golfing tournaments in the
section approximates the record en-
try of the Columbia tournament.
On May 8 the Washington Golf
and Country Club broke its record
for the size of the field.
Two weeks ago Chevy Chase set
q new mark in tourney entries.
Today the field that starts in the
first day of play is the largest, ac-
cording to the count, Of any in re-
cent years in the country.
4 The drawings for today's play
Eere announced yesterday, while
t6morrow's pairings are given out
by the committee as a supplement.
On Friday morning the six sixteens
will tee off according to the regu-
1arly accepted schedule and the
field will be Strengthened out for
play in the various flight and de-
feated eights.
The experience in handling the
national open tournament is stand
ing the Columbia club in good
stead. United States Golf Associa-
tidN officials, after the national
open last year, were unusually
noisy in praise Of the way in which
the Columbia men grooved the de-
tails and handled the field and
crowd at the tournament

There is an old golf proverb that
says: when you get an opponent

show mercy until the match has
