BY JEAN ELIOT

DEAR ADMIRAL AND MRS.
~ GUY M. BURRAGE announce
the engagement of their daughter.
Miss Charlotte Meade Burrage. to
Don Victor james Freyre. son OF
the Minister of Bolivia and Nine.
Freyre.
This bit of news, which is Of
exceptional interest since both the
young people are popular here.
calls attention to the increasing
strength of the matrimonial ties
binding the Republics Of America
together and increasing, as no
other factor can, international
amity and understanding.
To cite but few examples from
the Diplomatic Corps, it was only
a few months ago that DIR. Santi-
ago F. Bedoya, the dashing young
secretary of the Peruvian embassy,
was married to Miss Josephine
Matheson, a California girl. slim,
blonde and lovely. Then, g. little
later, came the marriage of DIR.
Jose T. Baron, charge d'affaires of
Cuba, to a Washingtonian, Miss
Katherine Shea.
Looking Backward
Looking backward a bit further,
one finds that Nine. Sanchez-Latour,
wife of the Minister of Guatemala,
is of Virginia birth. DR.. Alfredo
Gonzales Prada, first secretary of
the embassy of Peru, is also an
American and before her marriage
was Miss Elizabeth Howe, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Emerson Howe, OF
Washington. Then, there's lovely
Mime. de Pena, wife of Hugo de
Pena, now Charge d'Affaires of
Uruguay. She was Miss Ethel Humid
ley, of Baltimore. and used always
to spend the summers at Blue
Ridge Summit, Pa, where her
parents have a summer home and
which has long been popular with
Washingtonians, including some of
the diplomats.
Made Debut In Norfolk
Although Mr.. F'reyre is a young
ster, he has had considerable diplo-
matte experience before coming to
Washington to serve on his fathers
staff. He was for a time private
secretary to the Bolivian minister
to Chile and last year was attached
to the special embassy to Peru on
the occasion Of the celebration Of
the centennial Of the Battle of
Ayacucho.
Miss Burrage made her debut last
year in Norfolk, Va. but spent a
good deal Of time in Washington,
and Is a graduate Of a Washington
school, Miss Eastman's. She is a
close friend of Mrs. Joseph
Wholean, formerly Miss Beatrice

Then came the long-talked of main
bout between Marsh and Hendricks
meier and as the fighters took their
corners, cheers went up for the diff
ferent contestants from their hackers.
Looking at the two contestants, one
would be prone to have given the
match to Marsh before the battle
started, but one can be deceived as
was proven the case.
Ben Moe refereed the match and
introduced the battlers to the fans,
and the fireworks commenced.
The boys started out at the gong
and there was no dilly-dallying but
smash, bang, crack as the mitts flew
through the air and lit upon the
anatomy of each other. Marsh took
the aggressive in the first round. buv
could not find Hendricksmeir, who
was moving all the time and coming
IN for take and give at frequent in
terVals. The first round was a draw
The second round was almost a du-
pllcate of the first with neither of
the battlers having an advantage, al
though the fighting was of the
knOck-down, carry-out order.
The third round, Hendricksmeier
got to going and rushing Marsh to
the ropes he flayed the young giant
until when he emerged from the
ropes he floundered round like a man
that had been out too late the night
before. Marsh would recover and
try to stage comeback, but the
Raymond whirlwind would again
come in and rush him to the ropes,
from which Marsh emerged with a
blank stare which seemed to uues-
ton what it was all about The
PlentywOOd fighter, however stayed
out the third round and took his cor
ner.
Again in the fourth Hendricksmier
outfought Marsh, who had not got
ten over his dazed condition of the
fourth and it could be seen that the
end of the battle was not far off.
Marsh stuck it out through the round
but as he took his seat, he told his
seconds to throw in the towel as
ne could go no longer.

The youngsters put up a scrappy
fight which was declared a draw and
which decision was approved by the
audience.
The next preliminary was between
K 0. GundersOn and Battling Rein
ertson. This was a particularly saw
age battle. Gunderson was a little
wiser in ring generalship. but Rein
ertsOn made up for this by his slash
ing attacks. The crowd was in an
uprOar during the entire four rounds
and when 1t was finished, showered
the young pugs with silver for the
splendid fight they put up.
The third preliminary, or what
Should have been the semi-final, was
between Max Hueth of Coalridge and
Ben Moe of Archer. The opponent
scheduled for Hueth not being pres
ent, Mr.. Moe consented to take his
place. Mr.. Moe had just eaten a
heavy supper and after the fourth
round was forced to quit, the bout
being awarded to Hueth.
This fight was in some wavs su-
periOr to the head-liner in the mat
ter of skill and the boys swapped
some mighty stiff punches. In the
End round, Moe slipped a left to the
solar plexuS and Hueth doubled up.
Moe, however did not follow up his
advantage, which paved the way for
a clean knockout, and let his oppon-
ent wabble to his corner, when the
bell ended the round.
Hueth does not claim to be a box
er, but is a wrestler and looks it. He
is very handy with the mitts, how
ever and gave a good account of
himself throughout the battle.
The audience from all appearances
got as much kick out of this battle
as the main event.
The next preliminary or semi-fin-
al took place between Alf Marsh and
''Fat" O'Brien which went six rounds
without anything of a spectacular
nature taking place. O'Brien did a
lot of holding, which more or less
took away from the merit of the ex-
hibition At the end of the six
rounds, the referee called it a draw

to have unlimited endurance to keep
it up. For his weight it is doubtful
If anyone in this neck of the woods
can put it over the Raymond fighter,

a return bout with Bromberg by
whom he was defeated about a year
ago and also with Slim Lee, who he
says he would like to meet under
any condition.

Even as strong a supporter of the
