NETN
MEET MONDAY

A college tennis match that
is causing more stir and specu-
lation than any other listed
here this spring is scheduled to
take place Monday on the
Columbia Country Club courts
when the netmen of Georgetown
and George Washington oppose.
The Hilltoppers possess a de-
cided edge through the top half
Of their team with Gregory
Mangin, Dooly Mitchell and Fred
Mesmer reasonably certain to
score over Bob ConSodine, Alan
Staubly and Larry Phillips, but
the ColonialS may have just
enough of an edge through the
lower half of their team, to
reverse the situation, which would
make the outcome of the match
depend upon the doubles.
Tennis matches always
don't run according to dope,
any more than any other
sport encounter, and G. w.
supporters who are longing
for and hoping for the
COlOnials to triumph, point
out that their team, while
the under-dOg, may give the
dope a severe upset.
The recent victory of the
ColonialS over Army, added to
their deep incentive to score over
any Georgetown representative,
provide sufficient factors to make
them loom dangerous for the
Hilltoppers. The latter respect
this viewpoint of their oppon-
ents but feel confident of captur-
ing the match by a decisive
margin.
Through the lower bracket on
the G. w. team, upon whom
rests the chief burden of victory,
will be Bill Seidel, Richard Edge,
Ivan Edwards and Goldsmith.
Only three of these will play
singles, but the alternate may
be used in the doubles. Kip
Callan, Fred Doyle Berberich,
YeomanS and Degnan occupy
similar spots on the G. U. team.

If according to the latest statistics there are
three million golfers in the U. S. A. it is
safe betthat good many of them this year
will follow the new 168 golf ball with
new pair of $500 Golf Shoes.
Our representative spent month roaming
around all the famous courses of England
and Scotland, sketching styles as they
stepped up to the first tee, talking with the
players at the 10Th hole, making notes of
Leathers, Lasts, Patterns, Rubber and
Leather Soles, Innings, Wing Tips, Plain
Toes and Moccasin types.
With this information, our man went to
London and bought % pair of golf shoes,
ranging in price from $40 to $42 in American
money, and took this collection of high
priced golf shoes direct from London to
Abe Mitchell's home in St. Adams.
The shoes were placed on a table-the price
marks and labels removed, and when Abe
Mitchell selected this shoe, he did not
know the Price or name of the Maker, but
after carefully examining every shoe, he
picked up this shoe made by Bunting OF
Dover Street and said, "This pair of shoes
will follow through from the first tee to the
last of any match"
Abe Mitchell liked the broad low heels,
spoke of the comfortable forepart of the
last, the Upper Leather, Sole Leather,
Scotch Jackets, ETC., and said, "The
whole combination makes this the finest
golf shoe that it is possible to build"
The Upper Leather in the Original is new
water-proofed calf-skin tanned by Martin

to Scotland and saw Mr.. Martin, and
purchased the entire first American

VICTORY
STAMPS HIM

BY TOM THORP

victory scored in the Wood Me
mortal has boosted the Belair Stud
champion into favoritism for the
Preakness Stakes and Kentucky
Derby.
The son of Sir Gallahad 3rd-
Marguerite rules a decided public
choice in both 3-year-old classics.
His price has dropped from 10 to 4
to / in each rich stake.
Gallant Fox ran one of the most
impressive races of any 3-year-old
for some seasons. Earl Sande was
not fortunate with the Belair Stud
colt Immediately after the break.
The son of Sir Gallahad 3d-Mar-
guerite was hemmed in on the rail
for most of the journey.
A rider of less experience
than the great American
jockey might have bungled
things badly. But not so
with Sande.
The popular blonde-haired rid
ing hero appreciated the fact
that he had a great colt under
him. He knew also Gallant Fox
was trained to the minute.
Therefore, he was able to dis
play real patience and cool judg
ment to wait until the right mo.
ment came before asking his
mount to make his bid for The
victory.
The moment Gallant Fox was
called upon to make his run, he
went away from his field like the
Twentieth Century passing slow
freight. While the margin of
victory in the charts show but
four lengths, Sande could have
made considerable more had he
cared to call upon the Belair
Stud 3-year-old to uncouple his
full speed for the entire distance.
Gallant Fox had plenty in re-
serve as he galloped across the
mile and 10 yards finish line
in the fast time of l:43 3-5. 1t
was one of the most impressive
triumphs scored by a 3-year-old
over such formidable rivals at
such an early date in the racing
season in years. It stamps Fox
as genuine star of the turf
world.
Comparing Gallant Fox vic.
tory to the win scored by the
Seagram Brothers Sweet Senti.
ment in the Chesapeake at
Havre de Grace, it would appear
as if the Belair Stud representa-
tive had little on his Canadian
rival.
Sweet Sentiment did not de-
feat the field of any where
near as formidable as the one
the son of Sir GaIlahad Sd
Marguerite triumphed over.
Nor was. the time made by the
Seagram star quite SO impress

Gallant Fox ran the mile and
seventy yards in 1895 with
100 pounds up, while Sweet Sen
timent took la As to cover the
mile and sixteenth. The son of
Mae Kenzie 2d-Heart String
carried six pounds less in his
victory.
Gallant Fox is going to start
in both the PreakneSs Stakes and
Kentucky Derby. barring acct
dent. William Woodward. owner
of the Belair Stud, and vice
chairman of the Jockey Club,
made it known Immediately after
the Wood memorial victory he
intends sending his great Swear

Gallant Fox will be kept in

Present plans call fol shipping
