PROGRAM ON
TONIGHT
Joe CLANCY and Johnny Reno
Clash in Main Bout OF
Ten Rounds.

There is an old saw which runs:
''Tf at first you don't succeed, try,
try. again."
Out at Berwyn Heights there was
erected an open air arena originally
christened, 'Sportland Park" Eight
attempts to run off fight cards last
year resulted in just exactly seven
postponements and the financial
wreck of several promoters.
After the last and eighth in
effectual attempt to put on show
LEGAL fight fans very appropriately
re-christened the park, "Sportland,
the damned" But, that was last
year This is another year and
may prove to be something else
again. *
Heinie Miller believes he can
break the curse which seems to
hang over Sportland Park. Any
way. Miller has gone ahead and
carded a. very attractive program
of five bouts for this evening.
In the main go Fighting Joe
Clancy, of Baltimore, and the
conqueror of Danny Duarte, is
Johnny Reno, local product, who
has decisions over frankie Conlfrey,
Charlie O'Connel1, Joe Fisher,
Johnny Smith, Goldie Ahearn and
Baby Garcia. Both boys viii
weigh in at 1873 pounds.
OF secondary Importance and the
semi-windup on the program will be
the bout between Patsy Mozier,
who walloped Shorty O'Connell over
at Fort Myer, and Battling Bill
Vincent. This setto is slated for
eight sessions.
Three good preliminaries have
been booked, one of six rounds and
the other two Of four rounds each.

Vaeth was a member Of virtually
every picked team Washington
sent out OF town and always he
did more than his part. He made
what is said to be worlds record
at rubber-banded pins when, as a
member Of George Isemann's All,
Star team, he averaged 174 for five
games against Martinsburg, w. Va.
This was in 1917.
When at the height Of his fame.
Vaetll quit bowling. As general
manager Of the large Recreation
and Grana Central establishments
he had little time for the game
IS q sport. It was q severe sac
rifice. Vaeth loved his game rs
few bOWlerS ever did.
Johnny Vaeth leaves widow
and four small children and count
less friends. The little fellow won
his way into the hearts Of asso-.
.ciates az easily as he defeated them
in bowling.
Norris Cafritz, when propfietor Of
the Recreation and Grand Central.
brought Vaeth from Baltimore,
where Johnny was the life of the
game and asleading builder of the
sport.
Cafritz knew Vaeth best, and of
him often has said:
