Huge Crowd Swells

'Unoualified success."

Unqualified success"
The entertainment and dance, for
the benefit of Reds Hager, held
at the Elks Hall last night, went
over in thunderbolt fashion.
Every section, subsection, and
city block of this fair city, was
represented, last night, at. the big
gest sandlot social event ever held
in the history of the District of
Columbia.
It was a big gathering. a crowd,
a mob. Yes, there was a multi
tude present.
The entertainment was a big nit.
Edwin Callow, with his "Tony the
Barber" stunt, was heavily applaud
ed, as was Katherine Nicholas,
washington leading society dancer.
George Fl. O'Conner, the well-known
local singer. showed that he has
lost none Of his popularity. The
Mohawk Quartet was forced to
give encore after encore.
The Elk's Clown band was I'M
able to appear, owing to the fact
that six members of the organiza-
ton were on the sick list. The
Elks did their bit" when they
donated their beautiful and spacious
hall.
Miss Lorraine Wall, chairman,
and her committeeman were on the
go all evening. with their faces
wreathed in smiles.

FIVE GOTH AM
BOYS AT TOP
In PUGH.I ISM
New York Holds Distinction Of
Having Two Worlds and
Three American Champs.

Anew YORK CITY holds d
IN unique distinction In the
~ field OF pugilism. For tbs
first time in the history OF the
sport five local boys are crown.
bearers, two international or world
champions and three American til.
tie holders. The defeat Of Pancho
Villa by frankie Genario enables
Manhattan to add to its fistic
laurels two new champions in a
period Of seven days, Gene Tunney
having gained the crown from
Harry Greb only a week ago in
the Garden arena.
The other titleholders are: Benny
Leonard, worlds lightweight king;
Johnny Dundee, American junior
lightweight champion, and Joe
Lynch, who ranks supreme among
the worlds bantamweights.
Genaro had to beat Pancho villa
three times before a victory for
the Italian over the Filipino boxer
meant anything. Twice Genaro
beat Villa in bouts, a distinction
between the pair, however, gave
Genaro his third victory and the
American flyweight title.
G0uaEO, ike Joe LYNCH, Johnny
Dundee, Benny Leonard and Gene
Tunney, other ring champions, is a
product of New York. He was
born OF italian parents August 26,
1901, and Is approaching his twenty
second birthday. For three years
Genaro has been boxing as a pro.
fessional, following his graduation
from the amateur ranks.
AS an amateur Genaro was SUI
preme in the flyweight ranks and
at times went out Of his own di-
vision to win honors in the bantam
weight class. His crowning achieve
ment, prior to entering upon a
professional career, was his acqui-
sition of the Olympic games NY
weight title in 1920. 1t was upon
his return from the Olympic games
that Genaro forsook the amateur
ring.
In his three years as a profess
sional Genaro has engaged in about
thirty bouts, winning more than a
score of battles against the leading
flyweights of the country.

GIANTS AGAIN TAKE
COMMANDING LEAD

To safe margin in first place the
New York Giants have returned.
They won their sixth consecutive
game yesterday, 6 to 8, making 1t
three straight from the Braves.
Previously they had won three
straight from st. Louis. Pittsburgh
also won over St. Louis, 6 to 4, but it
seems as though the Pirates are get
ting farther from the Reds, rather
than keeping after the world cham
pions. :
Chicago's steady playing is less
normal. The Cubs got near to the
Reds by giving Adolf Luque, the Ha-
vana twirier, his second defeat of
the season in eleven starts and broke
his winning streak of seven games.
Grover Alexander, the great, opposed
him and allowed only three hits. The
score was to O.
Brooklyn fattened on Philadelphia,
to 4. making six runs in the first
inning and getting only one hit. The
Quakers just hand over their games
without being asked.
While the YANKEES were idle Phila-
delphfa passed up another chance to
shorten the distance by losing to
Washington.
Sherry Smith, former Brooklyn slab
