It all started a few days ago at Ban

sitting around after the exhibition

There had been some talk about the
paucity of open tournaments around
Washington, when A. l.. Houghton in

had held an open tournament. No one
knew, and then came the small matter

SUPPORTS FAMILY

Gained High Fame.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n 7 Ew YORK, July 24.--Go to any
NJ boxing show these days and you
will see a goodly number OF
women scattered around the
ringside. At the big outdoor shows
some of the harder members of the sex
even may be seen in the bleachers.
There was q time-and not so many
years ago at that-when women were
not permitted to watch the glove gladi-
ators in action. The bars have been let
down since the Walker law gave the
sport at least an outward responsibility
Still even today a woman is barred
as far as the Boxing Commission is con-
cerned, from any role except the pas
sive one of spectator.
The time may come when women will
manage and second boxers without
arousing any comment, but just now 1t
is news when one of the fair sex plays
either of those parts.

LEHMAN IS TOUGH
HURDLE FOR MOE
Western Amateur Champion
and CoIIegian CIashing
in Quarter-FinaI.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ HICAGO. July 24.-Johnny Leh-
man. one of the prize products
~ Of college golf, blocked the
march of Don Moe the youth
full champion from Portland, Greg, to-
ward another Western amateur title as
the struggle for the crown went into
the quarter final round over the rugged
Beverly Country Club course today.
The methodical SHOEMAKER, co-medal-
list. former Big Ten champion and one
of the best golfers In the Chicago dis
trict, faced the king of Western anna
tours in a long stretch OF SO holes, and
while Moe ranked as a slight favorite,
the match generally was ranked as
toSs-up battle.
OF the two, Lehman was far more
impressive In the early flights. He de-
feated two very capable golfers, Lloyd
Nordstrom of Davenport, Iowa, and
George Dawson, Chicago star, with al
most perfect golf yesterday, while Moe,
of his game since his return from an
invasion of England with the Walker
Cup team, weathered the first two tests
with poorer golf against more inexperi-
enced foeman - Vincent Huntington,
Chicago, and Johnny Howard OF Kala-
maZoo, Mich.
AS the quarter-final round opened
today all the favorites, with two glaring
exceptions, remained in the fight. The
two, who were upset were Cyril Tolley
of Great Britain and Charles Chick"
Evans. Tolley fell before Bob McCrary,
transmississippi champion from Des
Moines, Iowa, l up, while Evans was
eliminated by the youthful Charlie Fish
of Rockford, Ill, by the same margin
on the nineteenth green, where his rival
holed a 35-foot putt for birdie 5.
England had one big punch LETT,
however, in T. Phillip Perkins, former
siding in New York. Perkins loomed
as a big favorite yesterday by shoot
ing even better golf than Lehman to
win the most lop-sided victory Of the
two early rounds Sands victory
over Freddy Lyon, Chicago, Western
junior champion, and an S-to-7 rout
over Earle Berryhill Of Colorado
Springs, Colo. The methodical Briton
appeared to be very much on the game
that made him famous on the other
''J Perkins * had worthy rival today
in Jack westland, Chicago district
champion, who entered the quarter
finals with q victory over the veteran
Rudy Knepper Of Chicago yesterday.
Perkins, Westland, Moe and Lehman
were IN the upper and stronger bracket.
In the lower bracket today, Fish, faced
Ira Couch, another Chicago star, who
was favored to defeat him while, Nc

Bannockburn Club May Stage
First Open EUelt in October

/ Philadelphia. Wilmington and other
nearby spots.
If it is held the Bannockburn tour
ney will come during the dull season for
the pros, who seldom have anything in
particular to do during October except
plan how TO spend the Winter and play
golf and do other things they don't like
to do. With first money Of 5000 1t is
quite likely that good field will gather
for the first ''Bannockburn Open"
The event, If held, will be staged
under the guidance Of the club golf
committee, headed by W. Fred Byrne,
who has presided enthusiastically and
successfully over the golf destinies of
the Glen Echo Club for the past two
years.
And Byrne. by the way, is working
hard these days, burning the midnight
oil and struggling and porting over han
dicap sheets in an effort to bring the
scores in the Tom Moore Cup event up
to date.
why, oh, why. won't they mark their
scores with the date and the competi.
ton Fred says, as he wades through
an assortment of cards, which may or
may not be entered In the Tom Moore
Cup event. a 72-hole handicap tourney
next Sunday. "I can't tell whether they
are playing in the tournament or not.
Why don't they date their cards and
mark them for the tournament"
Out of the maze of cards which have
been turned in, some marked and some
not marked, Byrne has figured out that
Morris Edwards Is In the lead as the
competition goes into its fourth and
final phase, and that Prev Savoy is in
second place. But he has not been able
to figure out their scores, and 1t may be
that when he gets all the cards tabu-
lated some other gent may slip In and
beat both of them.

T\HE kid with the big hands and
feet, whom Bob Barrett claims
may some day be q great golfer,
has gone and done 1t again.
Danny Burton, who used to caddie for
Harry Pitt shaded his previous best
score at Chevy Chase couple Of days
ago, registering 70 for the course,
which bettered his previous best by two
strokes.
A month ago Danny, who now works
in Barnett's shop, shot IS IN game
with Mrs. Harrison Brand, jrp who
must be an inspiration to the likeable
red-head, for the other day Danny went
out to play golf with Mrs. Brand again
and did so well that he shot O 10,
which is only four over par and Is not
so bad for a youngster who plays only
about twice a week, and who Is busy
shining clubs most of the time.
Danny may be q youngster in years,
but he Is a man In size. Anything
smaller than a size 10 shoe don't come
near fitting this 17-year-old, and he
has q pair of hands reminiscent Of the
great hands Of Tommy Armour.

rant near the Pioneer Sporting Club on
East Twenty-fourth street. There she
made the acquaintance Of managers,
boxers and fans. Quite frequently she
would be given a ticket to the show.
She became so familiar with the sport
that she could hold her own with the
managers and boxers when some angle
of the game was under discussion.
She studied the diet OF the various
boxers and made note of how they were
handled by their seconds. One thing
led to another, and finally she decided
to get into the game herself so she took
a course in a correspondence school
conducted by a prominent manager and
trainer. Before long she rounded up
some youngsters with ambition TO be-
come boxers.
Today Mrs. Capozzi has half dozen
boys in her stable. and while none of
them has achieved more than local
prominence, she has high hopes for
them, especially for Chick Scudder and

Bobby Tees High

BY SOL METzGER.

Were you to watch Jones in his
drive I'm sure you would note one
point about his tee shots. They ny
with neither marked high nor low
trajectory, and when they aiight,
even in a head wind, they roll for
some little distance. Bobby gets n
ball that gets there in spite Of any
element of nature.
This was not the case in his early
competitive days. Why the change
for the better? First, Bobby tees his
ball fully an inch high these days.
Second, he uses a deep-faced driver
in place of the shallow one Of a long
time back. Third, he swings through
the ball, straight through 1t, instead
of hitting 1t down.
The result is all any one can ask
for in the way of drive. Just re-
member Bobby's experience and
profit from 1t. Tee them high, in

PARIS, July % (C.P.A9-A very
close night Is foreseen In the challenge
round OF the Davis Cup tennis matches
beginning at Auteuil on Friday. with the
general expectation that France will
win from America by a narrow margin
This forecast is based chiefly on the
American performances against the
Italians last week.
Showing the Importance attached TO
the appearance Of the French team in
Its highest form, Jean Borotra was In
duced not to travel for his business
this week
Big Bill Tildens fnal inclusion in
the American team Is considered the
greatest threat to q French victory.
Admittedly the French depend mostly
on Henri Cochet. French sports writer's
comment scarcastically about the "an-
nual Tilden comedy" adding that the
scenario, "Tilden will play, Tilden won't,
Tilden will" is becoming hackneyed.
The French are relying on victories
by Cochet and Borotra in the singles to
retain the Davis Cup, for It seems a
foregone conclusion that the doubles
will go to the young American pair,
Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn.
The feeling is general that Borotra's
tennis days are numbered. The marvel
Is that he has been able to stay so long.
The bounding Basque is now 3d. and
for the last few years he has been "liv-
ing on his nerves." carrying on stimuli
tAneously in three fields-sports, bust
ness and society. His principal interests
are concerned with gasoline pumps, and
he is currently reported TO be connected
with % companies, Of many Of which
he is president.
Cochet remains more consistently in
form than does BoFotra. But his game
is almost entirely one Of inspiration.
When uninspired he loses after q drab
game. When inspired he Is unbeatable.
AS for the future, the directors Of
tennis in this country do not conceal
their anxiety. Apart from Toto" Brug-
non, who remains a force in doubles
play, there is no young player ready to
step up among the giants,

FfAe<e@AAAAA
nARIs, July 24.-This is my
- last article on the Davis
Cup challenge round. I lay
down my pen and take up
my racquet, and from being
merely a writer, become merely
player.
Much depends on the outcome Of the
FIRST days singles. If the United States
can divide the first days matches 1t
will be In position Of great strength,
for then France must make supreme
effort to save the doubles, which II I'M
successful will take much out of the
morale of the French team and Incl
dentally cause Cochet to play three
days running.
BilPs Ankle Well.
The French players, Cochet and
Borotra, had long workout and from
the way they conducted themselves I
thought Borotra was In better form
than Cochet, who still seems TO lack
customary control. Borotra is working
hard on his ground game against pro-
feSsional play, and his play looked I'M
usually steady for him. He is in per-
feet condition physically.
Both Lott and had q hard singles
workout, while Allison and Van Ryn
played only doubles today and will play
no more singles until after the tie is
over.
Ny ankle is absolutely well and don't
bother me. The pain and swelling have
entirely gone. A slight bandage should
remove any chance Of trouble in the
matches.
Capt. Dixon intends 10 let ManRin
and Kozeluh practice with Lott and
myself tomorrow by serving and coming
70 the net to give us both experience in
Borotra'S net-rushing tactics. I have
been greatly impressed by the manner
In which Lott is hitting his backhand
here in Paris. He's steady, and at times
severe with it. I wouldn't be surprised
TO see an improvement in this stroke
prove just the difference that will mean
victory to him when he meets BGyotra.
Lott Singing Ball.
Lott is serving well. as always, smash
ing and vGueying brilliantly. Allison
and Van Ryn have entirely recovered
from the slump that so nearly cost them
9 point against Italy and are once more
the aggressive and sound team that
dominated Wimbledon.
l look to see very close and bitterly
contested tie before q tremendous and
wildly excited gallery. The court is in
excellent condition and all arrange
ments have been made. All that re-
mains Is for Capts. Dixon and Gillou to

An injunction to discontinue work on the construction of the pavement on North street will be sought by the Citizens Property Owners asso- citation, according to Vincent De- hrowolski, chairman Of the board of trustees.
 The action will be brought by a councilman, Dobrow olski said today the purpose being to force the city to install Conduits for wires before the pavement is laid. Dobrowolski mentioned the name of Councilman Samuel Sablotsky but the latter said that he would have no hand in the suit, although he has been invited 10 sign the petition for an injunc- tion. because the pavement is not of a permanent type.
 The meeting of the association, at which a petition will be drawn up will be held tomorrow night at 9 o'clock at the Falcon hall on Beav- CT street. The speakers will be Mar tin Kelly, president, John Smolak, Dobrowolski and Andrew Brzuszek. The petition will be presented to the common council Wednesday night
