The question of who would own
the shoes after the tournament is
over has been settled by putting
them up as prize.
This, however, is not the only
solution. Other groups of pitchers
have decided to form permanent
clubs and the equipment will be-
come club property.
The usual cost of a set Of four shoes
and two pegs is $3.50. They may be
obtained at most sporting goods stores
and from leading hardware houses. Any
entrants in The Stars tournament hav-
ing difficulty locating equipment should
phone the horseshoe editor. His phone,
by the way, has been kept hot. If
a host of people aren't planning to take
part in this tournament then they at
least are burning up with curiosity over
the old game.
Capt. Albright HuStling.
Down at Culpeper. Va, where Capt.
j. c. Albright is chairman, the folk
are coming in from the mountains to
show those town fellahs how boss shoes
really ought to be flung. Albright,
who is commander of Culpeper's big
American Legion Post, is bent upon
staging one of the largest town tourna-
ed the town with posters proclainllng
the event and is collecting entries right
and left.
A similar condition exists at Manas-
sas where Mai. Frank W. Patterson,
publisher of the fourishing Manassas
Journal. is chairman. But Mai. Pat
terson hasn't stopped with Manassas.
He's popping up the whole county to
the fact that here's big sporting event
$As
body, with absolutely no cost to any
one, If you count the purchase Of regu-
lation shoes and stakes as an invest
ment.
INQUIRIES why the ordinary barnyard
shoes shouldn't be used in the prelirai-
naries are answered easily. They would
vary in size and weight and make for
unfair competition. Then, too, The
Stars tournament is here to stay, and
1t would facilitate matters for all IN
the future if only standard equipment
were used.
Playground Bosses Busy.
The playground department here is
busy putting in regulation courts on all
its stations for use in the tournament.
Equipment will be supplied for all the
community events, but pitchers owning
oficial shoes are urged to lend them
to the department when tournament
time comes.
with Raymond Gilbert. an enterpris-
ing member as the guiding spirit, the
Burroughs Citizens Association Is lin
ing up strong for The Stars tourna-
ment. Four courts will be built on the
Burroughs playground and they likely
will be needed. Gilbert looks for
large entry.
Entry blanks have been placed in the
hands of all Washington playground
directors and the blank is being printed
daily in The Star. Entrants should
turn their applications over to the 6i-
rectors, each of whom will serve as
chairman of a neighborhood tourna-
ment, or send them to the horseshoe
editor Any one desiring further in
formation on the event should phone
the latter at National 5000.

absorb some Of it. Leesburg is out to
win some of these prizes and 1t looks
now as if they will do it.
Other towns in the county are warm
ing up to the tournament. Round Hill,

man, Is one. Mayor Ford is q veteran
horseshoe pitcher and he is rounding
up a team that shows skill. George E.
Thomas of Hamilton has q number of
entrants, which include some Of the
leading business men Of that town.
Purcellville, with Robert Carruthers as
chairman, is lining up for some genuine
sport. and Ashburn, with Lawrence
Hutchinson as chairman, is becoming
interested in the game.
Entries can be sent to any Of the
above chairmen before July 20, or If
other towns in the county want to

these towns by Grace Brooks Popkins,

BOXER VS.. FIGHTER
IN THURSDAY BOUT
Question Is Whether Tommy
Can Retain Strength in
Making Title Scale.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

n YEW YORK, July 13-Tommy
Loughran will pit his clever
VI ness against the right-handed
4 onslaught Of James j. Brad
dock in defense of his light
heavyweight laurels next Thursday
night at the Yankee Stadium.
Braddock will have IS rounds in
which to park his right-hand blow on
the angular jaw Of the genial Phila-
delphian, and the champion will have
a like distance in which to prove to the
fans that smart boxer, with more
than the usual run of intelligence, can
nullify grim determination and
healthy wallop by the simple expedient
of keeping one thought ahead Of the
walloper.
That Loughran faces a trying ordeal
denied. Tommy has been having trou-
BILE making the class weight, and I'M
less he enters the ring In the fullness
of his strength he will be hard put to
forestall the charging rushes Of the
challenger.
Hot days in the training camp have
been q boon to the nght-heavywe1gh
champion. Packed in heavy wraps,
Loughran has been able to sweat easily,
being able to tip the beam at ITS pounds
have been minimized. Whether or not
Loughran has lost any strength during
the hot days is hard to decide, as the
champion Is able to fash through his
boxing tits without any appreciable
outward effect. A smart boxer like the
champion can hide his faults and keep
the experts in the dark as to his true
condition.
Situation Is Reversed.
While Loughran has been pairing
down, Braddock has been doing the re-
verse, in that he will build up to the
stipulated poundage. A loggy fighter is
far worse OF than a drawn boxer
Braddock is hitting on all eight, and
the extra weight has helped him rather
than slowed him down.
The boxer versus the fighter has
always been a subject of debate among
the fans. In this case the question
should be answered to the satisfaction
Of the most exacting, inasmuch as
Loughran represents the highest type
Of boxer In the ring today, while Brad
dock comes pretty near to meeting the
he will take a punch and stand up
bravely and has enough dynamite in
his right hand to knock an opponent
horizontal when it lands.
There's the rub-Uhen it lands
Those who string along with the boxers
will tell you that a right-hand puncher
has no business landing on q clever
boxer. But in this case the rule does
not hold good, because Loughran has
tipped the beam over 1so-pound mark
for the past year. If Loughran were
at his full strength against Braddock
he would be heavy favorite to win.

 Midnight found them still in the smoking room surrounded by hi- larious group of girls and men.

 T say. what do you mean" he began. but Ray broke in upon him, his face ugly as he brought his down close to that of the British CT.
 Clear out of this unless you want me to take you outside and pitch you overboardl"
 Once again he caught Barbara in his arms and did not drop her again until they were outside her stateroom door
 Go into your cabin at once,' he told her, his face white with fury, and don't leave it again until to- morrow morning!"
 She threw up her head and said thickly:
 T shall do as l like. I'm going back to the smoke room
 Not until you're sober. Ana that won't be for a good many hours to come"
 He opened the door and tried to force her through it-then, as she continued to struggle, he picked her LID and unceremoniously carried her inside.
 "I1l see that you stay here if l have to stand guard all night out side that door," he told her with cold, helpless rage.
 What do you care?" she de- manded. You told me the other night that I wasn't any concern of yours!"
 He was looking down at her, his face working omniously.
 T know-but then I paid you the compliment of thinking you were capable of taking care of yourself. I see now that you're not. If you

 He glanced at her interrogatively his hands shaking as he showed them into his pockest. There was moment of tense silence and in the pause she swept him mocking if unstable curtsey
 Behold your future wife, my lord" then, her eyes twinkling be hind her lashes, Let's have bot tie of champagne on the strength of it?"
 But that, to him, was the last straw.
 No" he almost shouted. You've had more than enough already. I'm going now" and he made towards the door.
 But, we've got to talk things over" she protested.
 Not tonight. You're hardly in q condition to talk anything over tonight. We can do that tomor- row. And I warn you it's no use trying to get out of here, because for the next hour, at least, I'm going to stand outside your door At that he left, which was just as well, for Barbara's lips were twitching with suppressed laugh ter, and directly his back was turn cd, deliberately and impudently she winked at her reflection in the mirror.
