east story written by Miss Ruth Prit- tie of Carthage, N. Y., was chosen as the best.
 While the contest was fostered pri- marily as an aid to the study of meat as food in the high school home economics classes, it was felt necessary to offer an additional incentive to the students to take part. The national champion was awarded a cash prize of $500 and there were ten cash prizes in each district ranging from $1O0 down to $10. If state failed to figure in the district prizes its best story was awarded $10, thus making it certain that at least one young woman in every state would be a winner.

Chevy Chase golfers scored a we'll

My first ambition for golf came
at the age Of 0. when US kids used
to cut shiny sticks out Of the
woods and then use corks out Of
bottles for golf balls. When the
Columbia Country Club opened on
Georgia avenue / worked there as
caddie after school. Some one gave
me an old golf club, and that was
the first one owned.
Out in back of the caddie house
there were two holes in the rough.
and that was all the caddies were
allowed to play. We used to hold
tournaments, playing the two holes
over and over until six or eight
holes had been played. We got
pretty expert at putting the ball in
the cup and our tournaments were

TRAINING FOR

Both BattIers Have Eye on
FIyweight Crown Held by
Pancho Villa

Bobby Burke, of Reading, Pa,
who tackles Young Denicio in a
fifteen-round bout at Kenilworth
Monday night, is expected.to arrive
here tomorrow. He has completed
his training and will spend the day
sightseeing. Burke has announced
that he expects to stop his Filipino
rival Monday night, something he
failed to do in their recent twelve
round bout.
With Pancho Villa growing out Of
the flyweight class, there is added
enthusiasm among the little fellows
everywhere and both Burke and
Dencio are anxious to forge ahead
and get into the running for the
title soon to be vacant. frankie
Genaro, holder of the American fly
weight crown, is also about to ad.
vance into the bantam class, which
means that the flyweights will do
considerable boxing this summer.
Dencio claims to have recovered
fully from the injury to his hand.
The injury postponed his clash with
Burke for a couple of weeks, bat
the midget from Manila is now said
to be ready for anything.
III don't think Burke can really
beat me over any distance" says
Dencio. II couldn't get moving
right that night at Kenilworth when
he defeated me. Possibly had not
trained quite enough. IL that is
the answer, then I should be fast
as lightning in this second bout.
My opponents in training have had
their troubles keeping up with me.
Fifteen rounds suits me better
than twelve. Burke beat me in
twelve. He'll never do 1t in fifteen.
I'm going to win"
There has been wide interest
shown in this second Burke Dencio
scramble and a banner crowd is ex.
pected to be on hand when the
midgets crawl through the ropes.
frankie Mann has arranged an.
other classy program of real fights
for the balance of the show. The
semi-final will be OF eight rounds
between Jack Cafoni, the popular
Walter Reed bantam, and Bobby
Neill. Of Baltimore. These two lads
battled toe to toe for six rounds on
the opening night at Kenilworth.

Sixty thousand Dollar Won.

Waiver Price

PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-Con.
ME Mack has asked for waivers on
Sammy Hale, the third baseman he
obtained from the Portland club Of
the Pacific Coast League at the
end Of the season Of 1922 for $780,
600 in cash and players.
Hale batted 1853 in the Pacific
Coast League in 1922 and it was
on the strength Of his showing that
year that Mack made the heavy
outlay Of cash and players for him.
In his first season in an Athletic
uniform Hale disappointed. He not

quently because Of illness or acct
dent, but he did not play up to
expectations. He batted .28S, which
is not bad. but Mack expected more
than that.
This season Hale had a good
start, but quickly slumped with the
rest OF the team, and at present
he Is hitting below the $50 mark.
Therefore, his work this year has
been even poorer than last season.
The asking of waivers on Hale is
significant in that it indicates that
Mack is thoroughly disguised with
the work of the Athletics and will
not hesitate to make revolutionary
changes II necessary to get the
team out Of it's slump.

GSOTSO bUlBL CANNOT DC kept Oub
OF any discussion involving prospec-
tive winners. The ex-caddie, now
government typewriter repairman,
is experienced, able and aggressive,
and he believes he's as good as any
other golfer. Such a frame Of
mind is a big asset in any business.
On the eve of his departure for
Dayton, Voigt suffered the announ-
cement that his fi~e-year-old daugh.
ter had been operated upon and was
critically i'll. UP until the last min
ute his departure will be doubtful.
Along with VOigt, is Robert
Brown, q postal clerk. Like
Voight, Brown learned the funda-
mentaIs Of golf as q caddie,. on
the Iinke of the old Columbia
Country Club. The two are firm
friends. They were the winner
and runner.up, respectively, Of
The Times tournament on, the
Rock Creek Links.
The second tournament, at East
Potomac Park, resulted in John C.
Shorey, school boy, and Charles
Agnew, an employee of the Pow
hatan Hotel, being selected to go
to Dayton. In the final match be-.
tween those two, which Shorey won,
Agnew was ahead almost all the
way, Shorey coming from behind to
win out on the eighteenth green.
Agnew has been playing golf for
years, and this spring he has had
much experience in local tourna-
ments. Walking hand in hand
with Old Man Hard Luck, he has
failed to win any of the bigger
affairs.
Young Shorey is brilliant golfer.
He is only sixteen, but he seems
to have been born with a. golf club
in his hand instead of the usual
silver spocn. His brother is a
pro and John has had the benefit
of much instruction from the
brother.
While both Earl McAleer and
William Mcclure, who complete
Washington'S official sextet, we're
beaten in both the Rock Creek and
East Potomac Park tournaments,
they are good golfers. McAleer Is
a cOclKy individual, and his nine

Roland as q close CALI ~.-'E'
McAleer defeated Mcclure easily
in the Rock Creek finals, when with

Among the more important
theatrical events promised
Washington for next season
the engagement Of Ferenc

royalty, "The Swan" may be
considered, in many ways,
the most interesting. II ii
q high comedy, said 70 be
delicate and rare in its treat
ment as old lace and, al
though bitingly clever in It's
dialogue, Is astonishingly
free from. the cult cynicisrn
with which the famous au-
thor Of "Liliom" Is said to
flavor most Of his works.
1.-THE Swan" was produced
BY the Frohman company
early last season IN New York
and ran for thirty-three
weeks, closing while still do
ing enormous business, when
the Actors Equity strike"
went into effect on June LIST.
The reception Of ''The Swan
BY the New York press was
unusually enthusiastic and
the charming young actress,
Eva lie GalIienne, IN the role
Of Princess Alexandra"
shared fully IN the praise ac-
corded to the play.
