ically was made in the Summer. On
June . and 8, the South Atlantic
A. A. L. boxing championships were
put on at Washington Barracks and
amateur ring talent of Washington.
Baltimore and the United States Army
posts of this vicinity competed.
The lone title earned by Wash
ingtonian in these contests was that
in the light-heavyweight class which
went to Martin w. Gallagher when he
knocked out Pete Pregnnan. an Army
battler, in the first round of their
bout.
The year was made notable in box
ing by the sudden rise to fame Of
Henry Lamar, Western High School
student, Although he had won laurels
in foot ball and basket ball for the
Red and White, little was known Of
Lamar as boxer when he announced
his entry in the National A. A. u.

of Fasco, a Quantico Marine, and won
the national title by finishing with
Leonard Herring of Camden, N. J., in
the second round of the final match.
In April the 19-year-old high school
student went to Boston to seek ma
tional senior laurels. He took the
measure of Edward Conner Of Buffalo
in semi-final match of the tourna-
ment and won the senior light
weight championship by defeating J.
kehr of New York in the final match
