Mark Coles of Washington has
written his name in the swimming g
annals of Brown University on the
same page with that of the great
Davy Jones.
This slim, light-haired youngster,
who was a star in Central High
School at Washington before going
TO Brown, has been in the season
just closed the most consistent point
winner a Brown swimming team ever
has had, not excluding Jones.
Coles won the so and 100 yard
free-styl events in every dual meet
in which he participated, with the
exception of the Annapolis contest.
dashes against Syracuse, Yale, Penn
sylvania, Dartmouth, NJ. 1. T. and
Wesleyan.
Moreover. he won both the so and
the 100 in the New England inter-
collegiates at Hanover. He was the
first double winner for a visiting
team to swim in the Yale pool in
many years.
Against Syracuse he swan the So
yard free style in "a 2-5 seconds, the
fastest time ever made in the Brown
pool. This record, however, was un-
official.
In the Wesleyan contest Coles went
the same distance in "a 3-5 seconds,
equaling the New England record.
He has consistently made the century
under 5S seconds. His best time has
been around So.

/ once witnessed Toms discom-
fiture on another occasion after he
seemingly had outplayed another
man. And 1 and the others who were
present still kid him about it.
Boyd was competing in the Pine
hurst open championship of 1924. His
playing partner was the we'll known
Paddy Doyle. Just to make the play
little more exciting, they put up a
neat side bet
Both of them were going good, but
as they ended the seventy-frst hole
of the tournament-the seventeenth
of the course-Tom had one stroke
the better of Paddy. 1t looked very
much as though he would cop the
side bet.
This appeared even more likely
after the tee shots on the eighteenth
hole. Tom got a beautiful drive right
down the center, while Paddy sliced
his ball well OF the right and into a
clump of trees.
1t happened that Bobby Cruick-
shank and I had finished just ahead
of Tom and Pat. We were standing
in a group about the eighteenth
green, talking about our scores, when
some one said:
We cleaned down the line and dis
covered Paddy almost lost in the
grove of trees. These latter were of
all descriptions. Some were so feet
high, others not more than 10 or Is.
But, the way they grew in relation
to each other, everybody thought
Paddy would do well If he got back
on the fairway on his next shot. He
lay full $50 yards from the green.
Doyle, making a close examination,
discovered a line to the green, how
ever, and decided to try for it, To
do so he was compelled to shoot un-
der one tree and over another. These
trees were fairly well apart, but in
order to get over the second one he
had to play pretty close to the lower
branches of the first one. In other
words, extreme accuracy was reQuir-
ed.
We folks up around the green were
astounded when Paddy's ball sailed
out from that jungle, dropped neatly
near the edge of the green and roll
ed straight into the cup for an eagle
two.
But you should have seen Tom
Boyd. He was completely f1abbergast-
ed. He needed three puts to get
down in five, Paddy winning the side
bet easily.
Talk about luck" Tom said 81
play the hole better than Paddy and
yet he beats me-"
And that is why we are .stiAir

EDDIE BOWEN TAKES
BOUT WITH SHARKEY

A card full of good hard battling,
featured by three knockouts, was
presented to the fight fans last night
at Washington Barracks.
The best fight Of the night was be-
tween Eddie Bowen, younger brother
of Andy, and Jack Sharkey of Balti-
more. The boys went at it hammer
and tongs and whaled away at each
other to their hearts content.
Bowen took the first two. but in the
third Sharkey caught his man on the
point of the chin with a long left and
Bowen took the count of six. He
weathered the storm and battled on
even terms in the fourth. Sharkey
again forged to the front in the fifth.
The sixth was even, but from then
on 1t was all Bowen. He changed his
method of attack, which had the Bal
1imorean on the receiving end of A
wicked left. Both boys finished
strong.
Young Renzo, "The Wild Bull of
Ninth Street." was no match for
Jackie Turner of the barracks. At
the opening gong Turner went right
after his man and soon had the Ital-
ian lad in a bad way. Renzo took the
count three times in the first round
and twice in the second the bell COM
ing to his rescue in this stanza- Tur-
the third and had his opponent on the
floor taking the count when the towel
put a stop to further hostilities.
Andy Bowen of Washington did not
respond for the seventh round in his
bout with AL Foreman, the fighting
musician from Fort Myer. Bowen
had absorbed terrible punishment
from the soldier lad, but gamely took
his medicine and was fighting back
all he knew how. His left eye was
closed tight and his face cut consid-
erably by Foreman's left jab The
referee stated that Bowen had in
jured his hand badly. 1t was Fore
mans fight all the way.
The curtain-raiser saw Jack Cafoni,
Walter Reed Hospital, win by tech
niCal X. o. in the sixth round over
Whitley Michaels of the Mohawk Ath-
letic Club. Although considerably
outweighed, Cafoni kept on top of his
man right from the start, and during
the third, fourth and fifth rounds had
the Mohawk boy tottering all over
the ring, but just couldn't land the
old haymaker. Michaels did not come
out of his corner for the sixth round.
Harry Sheehy (Kid Sullivan) kept
the boys stepping in the first three
bouts, while Col. Ericsson was in
charge of the Bowen Sharkey go.
The show was staged outdoors and
nearly 1000 fans attended.

There had been no wind for days
and the gulf was clear as crystal.
Along the jetties the heaving ground
swells were breaking in a white
foam. 1t was useless to fish for
tarpon, as there were countless thou
sands of Atlantic amberjack in the
pass and the instant a bait touched
the water 1t was seized.
Now, Jack is no contemplate
fighter, but everything is compare
tive, and why battle for fish having
strength and speed enough, to be
sure, but which will not break and
show itself? We were after the
mightiest jumpers of the ocean and
decided to try out luck along ST.
Josephs Island, less than a mile away.
At Arkansas Pass one does not fish
from a launch, as at Long Key and
at most Of the Florida fishing re-
sorts. We were trolling along in 20
feet of water with $50 feet of No. 9
line out Finding no tarpon, how
ever, we were about to give up, when
my bait was seized f1ercely and in a
manner not characteristic of the
tarpon.
1 struck, and with unbelievable
quickness a strange fish sprang into
the air, no sooner touching the water
than it was out again. Then it made
the longest and fastest straightaway
run I have ever experienced. The
reel drag was set at three pounds
and 1t fairly screeched as that wild
fish took line. The writer Is con-
vinced that that first run was close
to 700 feet and the fish seemed a mile
away when 1t next broke water.
In five minutes that fish was every
where and any place. 1t would show
itself abreast Of the boat and then
ahead of it. The human hand could
not possibly reel in fast enough to
keep a tight line. A dozen times we
thought we had lost it. Perhaps the
fight lasted five minutes. or it may
have been ten. but every second was

GOLF FANS INVITED
TO SEE Big MATCH

Invitations have been sent to all
the golf clubs about Washington
asking members to witness the ex-
hibition match on Sunday at the
Washington Golf and Country Club. in
which three professional stars and a
ranking amateur will play.
John Farrell of New York and Jock
Hutchison of Chicago, stars of the
professional world for many years
Kenzie. District of Columbia amateur
champion, and Dave Thomson, pro-
fessional at the Washington Golf and
Country Club.
Thirty-six holes will be played, with
the morning round starting at $50
o'clock and the afternoon round be-
ginning at 1870.
The course of the Washington Golf
and Country Club has been carefully
groomed for the match and is in first
class shape. Pathways and greens
have been rolled within the last three
days and everything is in readiness
for what club officials believe will be
a great match.
The golf committee of the club,
headed by Fred d. Patton, has put UP
a purse of $50 for the professional
who breaks 10 over the course. Last
year the same purse was put up, but
stretch, was the lowest. This is par
and has only been equaled once under
normal playing conditions.
Mel Shorey scored a 20 at Wash
ington three weeks ago, but Winter
rules permitting him to improve his
lie on the fairway, were in effect.
Sunday, the Winter rules. which
are still in effect, will be suspended
and the players will be required to
play the bali where it lies.
Hutchison and Farrell have been
campaigning in the South all Winter
while Mackenzie has been playing
golf every afternoon he could find
time. Thomson is in fine form, hav-
ing had several scores below rs over
the Washington course recently.
Mackenzie and Thomson are play
ing this afternoon in a practice match
against Robert T. Barnett, the pro at
the Chevy Chase Club, and w. R.
McCallum.

INDIANS PREPARING
FOR NURMI CONTEST

Los ANGELES, Calf, April "a
little squad of Indian long distance
runners of the Sherman Indian School,

intensity and enthusiasm that perhaps
they never have equaled before.
They have a stiff assignment-the

not be because of lack Of preparation.
Charles Paddock and Loren Murchi-

thrower, also is available for out
field duty. Brayton's stickwork is
such that he may be called upon to
do some pinch hitting.

This tendency is deplorable; 1t has
no place in intercolle giate athletics

ITO speak plainly, the athletic de-

The Gibbons clan is already be-
ginning to ballyhoo the fight as an
affair which will decide the heavy
: weight championship of the world.
But the public will never take this
claim seriously.
The almost daily arrival of foreign
fighters is sure sign of Spring. With
the number of capable boxers all over
the country 1t is surprising to see how
soon the outsider gets work while the
home talent is compelled to stand
aside.
One wonders if the United States is
long to retain its supremacy in the
ring when Cubans, Panamans, South
Americans and the like are match
ed up with the best here. while
good boys from other sections of the
United States languish when they
come to New York.
The clink of the silver dollar is the
answer, of course. A Nincintini, a
Romero Rojas, a Lombardo makes an
attractive drawing card irrespective
of his real ability, while a clean-cut
lad like Jack Silver of California, who
was knocking at the Eastern gate last
Summer, gets no chance at all.
Even future champions have to
hook onto New York manager be-
fore they get their chance. This boy
Silver, by the way, lost his only de-
ciSion bout in three years of fighting
to Joe Benjamin on the west coast a
few weeks ago.
He is now heading East, and hopes
to do better than last year, when
he managed to get one bout only.
