second round matches in the
singles were played off yesterday
with all of the first round tits in.

Another upset came In the form
of the Virginia Olmsted. Caroline
Jansen encounter. Caroline an
nexed the first set in handy fashion.
CO. She dropped the second, 81.
Virginia was leading, AZ, in the
third and final set before Caroline
was able to pull herself together.
However. she seems to have q
knack OF coming through just in
the mick Of time" and she .ex-
1ibited that faculty. much to her
opponents distress. When the
score was 81 in favor Of Miss
Jansen, Virginia erred on her serv-
ice with the score 30-40 and the
endurance contest was over.
Dorothy Cook eliminated Mary
Ellen Totten by go, 6-1. Kaye
johnson was victorious in her en-
counter with Teresa Breen, taking
her measure at 6-3. GA.

Nothing in the world will suit
Heinie Miller's customers now
until be brings ION Honeyboy
Finnegan to match mitts with al
Foreman the aforementioned
featherweight champion of all
the services, including the Home
Defense Guard.
It Is interesting to watch the
actions Of bitter opponents such
as Foreman and Ahearn before
the actual contact. Ahearn
looked scared and sheepish and
nervous before he climbed to his
corner. Foreman, on the other
hand. bronzed and tanned, was
the picture Of confidence and as
surance.
We noticed, too, that while
the two were in their corners
during the fitting of the gloves
and the ubiquitous preliminary
announcements, Goldie Ahearn
peered slyly out of the corners of
his tired looking eyes at his
adversary, and that Foreman,
even during the ring-center in
structions from the referee did
not meet Ahearn's glance nc
give him the satisfaction of
knowing that Ahearn existed.
Ruk, when tha bell sounded,
Foreman made up for all Of
this studied slur and gave
Ahearn every bit Of the atten-
ton that we believe it is posi-.
BILE for one human being to
focus on another--angentle as
it was.
Washingtonians who were not
at the ringside three years ago
when Dempsey and Firpo pulled
and hauled, the former going
through the ropes at the hands
Of the Roaring Bull OF the
Pampas, saw as good an imita-
ton last night of that momcn-
tous ring event as they can ever
expect to see.
That Ahearn was through the
ropes, there can be no doubt
His seconds had to literally
sweep him up to get him back
to his corner. Even Johnny
Keys, the ordinarily cool, calm,
collected Mandarin Mayor from
New York, who betimes manages
the affairs of Ahearn, was az
his wits end-so suddenly was
the fight stopped-by Fore
man-and such a mess of things
he had made in the stopping.
AL Foreman had his music all
right-the music by which he can
win--Maytime, / think they call
it-but it was Ahearn who
heard the singing accompanied
or unaccompanied as it may have
been. And all Of the fighting
wasn't on the platform. The
ringside customers who timed
themselves to be there for the
main bout only, hadn't discov-
cred their seats before they
were caught in the undertow Of

TWO 'MOLLYS" OF REVOLUTION
PROVED DISTINCT HEROINES
ID. A. r. Disclaims Blame for Confusing Margaret
Corbin, Whose Body Was Removed to West Point,
With Molly Pitcher, of Monmouth Fame

Margaret Corbin and Molly Pitcher
of Revolutionary War fame were dis
tinct personalities, and the New York
State Daughters of the American
Revolution were aware of that fact
when they recently removed the re-
mains of the former from Highland
Falls, n. Y, to the cemetery at West
Point.
The d. A. r. disclaims responsible
itv for erroneous dispatches confus-
ing the two" 1t was announced today

Corbin Research and Memorials Com
mittee."

Mrs. Parker's statement sets at
rest the controversy that had arisen
in local historical circles as a result
of the reports that the d. A. r. had
reinterred the body of Margaret Cor
bin, the Capt Molly Pitcher renowned
fof. her valor in the Revolutionary
War"
The New York Daughters have sue
ceeded in establishing the fact, how
ever. that Margaret Corbin was
known during part of her lifetime as
Capt. Molly" and 1t was due to this
coincidence that the subsequent con-
fusion has arisen, it is believed. Here
tofore the connection between Mar
garet Corbin, the heroine of the battle
of Fort Washington on November l6,
1776. and Capt. Molly" as she was
known in the Hudson River highlands

MOLLY Pitcher was the name by
which Mary Ludwig HAYS. after

of the battle of Monmouth. was
known" Mrs. Parker declared. ''Iu
