Yes, only for the time being.
Next time I'll take him. de-
clared Ryan.
And sure enough. he did, at
Kenilworth. last night.
To knock a man out with a
single blow gives a boxer much
confidence against another meeting,
and the reverse IL just as true for
the defeated.
Braunstein went after Ryan as
though certain Of another knock,

well stuck out. He protected IL,
however, with rights and Iefts

stomach.
He did that for ten nasty rounds.
In short, he gave Sammy Braun.

feat in Philadelphia that would
have unneryed fighter less
game.
1t was one-sided all the way.
barring the ninth round in which
Braunstein severely cut Ryans left
cheek. He had fought himself out
by then, however, and was unable
to take advantage Of the break.
1t was the case of a skilled boxer
cutting down, coolly and effectively,
dangerous walloper with little
defense.
Billy Drake came back on the
same card. In the Germans first
appearance at Kenilworth he
showed next to nothing against
Ryan who hit him with everythfng
he had time and again but couldn't
stow him away. Drake DISPLAYED
dismal lack Of defense and. to
make it look pitiful, he barely
landed blow.
In his bout last night, with
Dannie Rogers of PHILADELPHIA.
he was the opposite of all that.
Not only did he box inteIIigently,
but he sOcked the same way. He

In a preliminary, frankie Ches.
lock knocked out Jack Cody after
two minutes Of fierce smuggling in
the first round. IN a previous meet
ing the bout was stopped after Ches-
lock received a severe cut over the
eye and victory was awarded Cody.
Cheslock went after his opponent
viciously last night. Cody came
back with all he had, in typical Cody
fashion. He was well-nigh knocked
out twice before the real haynlsker
appeared. Boxers aren't made
gamer than the Fort Myer soldier,
and this very gameness sometimes
is a liability. When hurt he wades
in the more fierce when he should
box and keep away to recover.
Bud Logan stopped Sailor Oden
In the third round, and Sammy
Hogan outpointed Jack Skinner in
four rounds.

SANDLOTTERS'
SALT AND
PEPPER
By r. D. THOMAS

Nothing more out Of tune with
brown old Autumn than a ball
game, yet Washington's sandlotters
for years have persisted in squeez-
ing the last bit of possible baseball
weather out Of the declining sum-
mer. They become tiresome. The
big Ieaguers are hard put to main
tain interest in the late season,
all except those in the pennant
fight and later the world series.
None other than Judge Landis IS
on record as favoring a shorter
season. So much for the big
timers.
Now comes a cheerful suggestion
along the same line from the sand
lot leaders of Washington-Captain
Bob Cleland, president of the Cap
ital City Baseball Association, and
Walter Haight. secretary, who have
made many intelligent moves this
season for the good of the game.
They want to get the boys
away to a quick start next spring
want the annual pOSt-seasOn
series for the city championship
played DURING THE TRUE
BASEBALL SEASON, when il
would be a vital force in stirring
interest in the sport. In this
respect now 1t is all but wasted.
Due to decreasing daylight the
games are too short to make the
competition mean much.
The Capital City Association is
confronted at this time with a
schedule problem, which probably
will necessitate the playing OF
| double-headers AS the schedule
stands it will run Section A ot
the unlimited series into October
| il y any postponements occur. II
this situation Is not corrected the
boys may just as well pass up the
prospect. of a final series between
the Capital City Association cham
pion and the inter-league title
winner. Few fans care to see a
sandlot game during football
weather, even If the players are will
| ing to play them.

BY Il. u. InOmaS
It's vacation time for most college
football coaches but for Lou Little
OF Georgetown it's just a bloomin
hot summer in which to do lot Of
work.
Little is a travelling man AMONG
other things. He's travelled to ant
from dozen places ranging from
Virginia Beach, Va, to New Eng.
land in search of suitable train
Ing camp for the Hilltop's grid
ironers.
The time is not far distant when
Little viii gather his gang from the
four corners of the land and start
the boys shaping for the toughest
set OF games ever faced by akGeorge'
town eleven.
The second game on that sched-
uIe is with Pittsburgh, always q
tough opponent. This viii be on
October at Pittsburgh and two
weeks later viii come West Viz
giHia. another llefty customer.
Moreover, the West Virginia meet
Ing win be Georgetown's home
coming game.
Little breads to think Of a poor
showing on the homecoming day.
He has labored prodigiously already
on this event and many of the
alumni have promised to come far
10 renew old friendship and to see
the Blue and Gray in action.
The sparkle disappears from
Lou's eyes and his face lengthens
when one speaks of what he might
accomplish next fall with the team
he had last season. Five vital
members OF his, great eleven was
graduated or finished their football
time and to rebuild his team to the
strength it had is the ambition that
has stirred the Georgetown coach
TO work overtime. even on what
appears to an outsider to be a rather
insignificant matter. a training
camp.
Why all the fuss over aNtraiT-
Ing camp2 On the Hilltop itself
Is every facility for prepping
football players. Warm weather
Is still with us when the grid
ironers turn out for early drills,
but Little needs travel far north
90 be guaranteed better weather
than Washington usually Affords.
It is suspected that the training
camp idea is bait to get the boys
out early. Three weeks or so be-
side the seashore is quite an in
ducement to some collegians and is
accepted by some as partial reward
for the heavy. gruelling work that
constitutes football training.
However. Lou Little is given
credit universally for knowing ex-
actly what he's about. His main
purpose right now is to leave moth.
ing undone that might add a little
to the welfare of his team. IL a
seashore camp will do nothing more
than make life a bit more interesting
for his gang OF gridders, why, a
seashore camp twill be.
New faces likely will appear
among the coaching staff on the
Hilltop. Mike Palm is not certain
to return and Bill Kenyon has &C.
cepted a job as coach of the UnI-
yersity of Maine freshmen. 1t is
understood that Little is considering
several applications for assistant
coaching positions.

Man Held at TiaJuana on
Trumped Up Charges is

United States navy, held in I'll
juana prison for more than six
months ,on flimsy charges, was be-
lieved to be in sight today. An
tomb M. Martinez, secretary Of
state for lower California, told
American officials that he would a.
once advise Mexico City authorities
Of the truth in the case.
Gordon, who has suffered in
tcnselv from poor food and lack OF
sunlight in his cell. has been serv-
ing sentence on charges which in
vestigation has shown to have been
largely trumped up.
He was brought from the prison
late Saturday and questioned by
Martinez, Mayor Palacio of Tijuana.
L. S. Consul Frank Bohr, of Mexi-
cali, L. f. navy officers, and bor-
der officials.
Mentality Is Weakening
Lieutenant j. A. Perez. naval
surgeon, then subjected the prisoner
to rigid physical examination, and
said he was on the verge of tubercu-
losis. and that his mentality was
weakening. He had lost more than
40 pounds in weight, his blood cir
culation was weak, he was suffering
from Il cold, and had lost his inter
est in life, and had lost his appc-
tite even for delicacies~ watch had
been sent to him to supplement the
meagre two meals a day Mexican
! Jail fare.
I Gordon walked into the mayor $
; office between two soldiers. He
wore an old sweater jacket and Il
pair of gray trousers, too short for
his six foot frame, and mass OF
, darns and patches, The trip from
the prison to the municipal palace,
through the drizzlc, was made bare
headed. But he stood erect, and

Mayer Shakes His Hand
When he left, about an hour lat
