LITTLE JEFF-DENCI0
TO FURNISH THRILLS

When Young Dencio, Filipino flash,
faces Little jeff OF Baltimore in the
10-round feature bout Thursday
night at the Washington Barracks,
District fans anticipate one of the
best mills ever staged here between
two fyweights.
Little Jeff. who usually wears his
opponents down by terrific body
punching, is the holder of the South
ern fyweight title, which he won
from Benny Schwartz recently at
Baltimore. The Oriole City mauler
aims to dispose of Dencio by con-
centrated attack on the latter's mid
section.
Dencio will enter the ring about
10 pounds lighter than his opponent.
but he packs walIop in either hand
that has sent heavier men than Little
Jeff to the floor. AS far as their past
records are concerned, both of the
little fellows should supply a red
hot SCRAP,

TURNER SHOULD FIND
BAUM A TOUGH FOE

Jack Turner Of California has been
promised a match with Jock Malone,
Eddie Burnbrook or Young Stribltng
If he gives a pasting to Charley
Baum of Baltimore in their 12-round
feature bout tomorrow night at the
Washington Sport Club, Kenilworth,
Md.
Although the Californian has
pointed the way to Bobby Marriott,
Jumbo Eggleston and Tex Stovall.
he will tackle a more talented scrap
per in Baum, who is among the lead
ing middleweights in the Oriole City.
Not since the days Of Tommy Lowe
and Kid Sullivan has any local boxer
received the support Of Washington
fans as Turner now boasts.
Three months ago Turner came to
Washington practically unknown and
1T was not until frankie Mann took
the boxer under his wing that the
middleweights here began to sit up
and take notice. So far as his local
bouts are concerned, Turner is ex-
pecte ed to get an acid test in meet
ing Baum.

EPINARD'S BACkERS
REMAIN Confident

NEW YORK, August 30.-Epinard,
French champion, entered in the first
of the ernational races, at six fur
longs, at Belmont Park on Monday,
will finish his training tomorrow
morning with sharp half mile. To-
days workout was confined by
Trainer Eugene Leight to a two-mile
canter.
Pierre Wertheimer, owner of the
chestnut colt. will be on hand for the
final workout. While Epinard' 8
trials have not been of a nature to
excite optimism, his owner trainer
and American jockey, Everett Haynes,
are apparently confident that he is
in good form.
American horses entered over the
six fullong course on Monday have
been stepping off practice distances
in figures which equal Epinard's mark
OF 1:42 Is made in his mile test Fri
day. Snob II was clocked in that time
today. Wise Counsellor galloped d
strong six furlongs in 1:16.
Most of the other candidates had

FOUR SANDLOT TILTS
ON AT ALEXANDRIA

Four games that should satisfy
the most rabid base ball fans are
scheduled for the Alexandria sand
lotters for today and probably will
be the best card ever presented in
the Virginia city.
In the main attraction the Dread
naughts and Remington mines will.
meet, with play being held at
the Dreadnaught Park at o'clock.
Remington has met and conquered
some of the fastest aggregations
south of the Mason Dixon line and
have shut out the Fredericksburg
White Sox, to 0, in one of the
Virginia championship trays. Man
ager Eddie Carroll will start Driver
or Patterson on the hill for the
Dreadnaughts, with Giovannetti re-
ceiving. Blair, Devers, Purdy and
Lee will form the inner works, with
Alexander, Summers and Carroll
roaming the garden.
In the first game of three-game
series the Cardinal Athletic Club and
Rosslyn club will meet for the cham
pionship of northern Virginia Man.
ager De Vaughn will start Sheers on
the hill for the Cards in his first ap-
pearance here. Sheers formerly
pitched for a minor league CLUB in
Pennsylvania and should prove the
master of the Soap City" gang.
Flying Jack" Tulloch will start be-
hind the bludgeon.
Manager Pete Hoy has scheduled a
contest for his Virginia Gray gang,
but has not found a field on which
to stack up the Handley Club OF
Washington with his team.
In the final game for the Alex
andria junior championship the st.
Mary juniors and Tiger clubmen
will meet Immediately following the
Dreadnaught game at the Dread
naught Park. Moore or Hewitt will
hurl for the Tiger Cats. with Russell
Kidwell catching. Riley or Dariey

Athletes of the Infantry School at
Fort Benning, Ga, will represent the
United States Infantry. Reports from
that post indicate that the Marines
will meet some worthy opposition.
Smythe, who gained considerable
fame in the backfield for West Point,
Is expected to bolster the Infantry
eleven considerably and there is Nc
Quarrie. another All-American back,
who will play for the soldiers.
The Infantry eleven has been in
existence in the past three years
playing as an associate member of
the Southern intercollegiate Con-
ference and the Southern Inter-
Collegiate Athletic Association. It's
greatest rival has been the Paris
Island Marine team, which has met
defeat every Thanksgiving day for
three years. Now the soldier eleven
is cunning for bigger game and it is
confident it can show the Quantico
Devil Dogs something about the Fall
Sport.
Arrangements have been pending
for this game for some time past.
According to the present agreement,
the Marine-Infantry game will be
played every year in Washington.
Foot ball followers will welcome this
news, for it is doubtful if the Sd
Corps team will tackle the Marines
in this city for some time. Baltimore
was selected for this years annual
struggle between the Sd Corps and
Marines and there is every indica.
