MICHIGAN BOARD

LANSING, Mich, Jan. o.
Charles Arthur ("The Great~
Shires has another victory to con

before the eyes of the sporting
world.
Having been exonerated of all
charges by the Illinois boxing
commission, Shires now is sched,
uled to face the Michigan branch
Of that sport here today to
answer charges that an attempt
was made to fix his scheduled
fight with Battling Criss in De

Vandes Gildersleeve, manager
of Criss, has sworn to statement
that he was approached by Man
ager Benny Ray and John

had to go in the tank for Shires.
GilderSleeve admits he
never met ShireS or his man.
ager, but "the great man"
was suspended by the Michi-
gan commission, nevertheless.
Dave Knight, Detroit manager
of boxers, also has been sum-
moned to appear before the COM
mission on the Shire-C -Criss bust
ness. Dave formerly managed
Tiny Groves but says he didn't
have anything to do with the
Shires thing and can't understand
why he has been called.
There Is a Michigan law re.
garding the fixing or attempted
fixing of baseball games, boxing
bouts and other sports. It pro.
vides for a maximum fine of
$4,000 or five years in Jail or both.
James M. Brown, chairman of
the commission, last night re.

the matter following today's

In the unfortunate position {
match he has entered.
Long before that great iror
shot found the eighteenth green
at Inwood in his memorable play
off with Bobby Cruickshank, q
shot that first opened the throne
room to Jones, the latter was in
stalled favorite In practically al
his matches. Since he won his
first championship that "favorite'
jinx has never left him, though
he has beaten 1t frequently. Al
a consequence, his oppone en-
realizes that he can shoot the
works" against Jones-that he
has everything to gain by a vic
tory over Bobby and nothing tc
lose in defeat.
On the other hand. ? Jones
knows that he Is carrying the
money Of his hackers; that he i;
the favorite:: that super-golf Il
expected from his clubs. and thai
he must live UP to his reputation
All Of Ahich brings TO mind
the amateur championship
Of 1927, his firSt-rOund match
against Maurice Mccarthy,
Of GEORGETOWN University, Q
very close call when his game
was slightly off, and how his
iron nerve mastered q situa-
ton and enabled him to pull
off one Of the greatest shots
ever made.
From the. beginning Of the
match, one Of those 18-hole af
fairs which Bobby SO dislikes anc
which has proved the guillotine
to many . potential champion, II
was seen that Jones was off his
game. Add to this the fact thai
Mccarthy was playing well anc
| playing his heart out, and YOU
can easily Ses where Bobby was
in considerable danger.
Jones was In peril from tht
opening tee shot, but tragedy die
not threaten the Albanian unit
| the 18th green. Here Bobby
found himself one down with 9
12.footer facing him. the misslnI
of which would put him two
down.
Bobby was the coolest of thu
lot. But what mental torture hi
must have been under as ht
studied that putt! II he missed
1t meant practically he would be
out of the tournament. For with
but five holes to play, q lead o1
two UP would be too great q
handicap to spot the band o
golf Mccarthy was producing.
The great amateur never
rose to more august heights
than he did in the next few
seconds. His strokes, deliv-
cred with the artistry Of the
master golfer, plus the heart
and soul Of a great fighter,
sent the little white pill
straight and true for the
cup.
When that putt clicked intG
the cup, the golfing gods startet
writing victory for that tourna
ment after Bobby's name. Tht
official score tells us that Jone!
squared the match on the SIX
teenth, forged ahead on the sew
enteenth and cinched matters or
the eighteenth. But to me tht
victory was won in the dell o.
that thirteenth green when mas
ter. artist brought slipoinl
game out from the valley Of dis
aster to the heights of triumph
by a putt that for execution
under pressure has seldom oeer
equalled. "f.
That putt kept Jones in tn,
tournament and enabled him tC
continue in competition that
in later rounds, saw him slaugh
ter the field with some of thu
most sensational golf ever dis
played in the amateur champion
SNp.
All of us admire Jones for tn,
way in which he usually over
comes the "favorite" strain. 1
takes a real champion to do that

SEASIDE PARK
OPENS FOR
SEASON

Seaside Park now takes its place
among the amusement resorts
available to the Washington pub
lie. Today marks the opening OF
this new and beautiful park, To-
Gated on high ground just above
Chesapeake Bay and only a few
steps from the railway station at
Chesapeake Beach. Free parking
space for 1900 automobiles has
been provided for those who come
by motor.
The park buildings, conspicuous
among them the fine new dance
hall where Joe Lorell and his mu-
sicians from the Grand Central
Palace will play all season, have
been painted green and white, and
the railway has painted and land
sCaped the station to conform to
the color scheme. The whip,
coaster dip, custer, miniature rail
way, shooter and many other at
fractions we're ready for the open
ing gun, but the big swimming
pool, which has been designed to
accommodate 10000 swimmers
daily. is not yet quite completed.
1t will be ready shortly, however.
The new park replaces the old
boardwalk and concessions, which
have been completely removed.
The piles under the boardwalk
were blown up with dynamite re-
Gently. 1t is thoroughly modern
in every respect and park where
Washingtonians can enjoy prac-
tically every form of outdoor
amusement, even to golf on the
new miniature course.
The Chesapeake Beach Railway
Company is operating under its
summer schedule, providing rapid
and convenient service from the
District line direct to the beach.

DANCE RECITAL
IS GIVEN AT
BELASC0

The Hoffman.Haskins dance
recital this year took the form
of "A Zeppelin View of the
World" at the Belasco Theater
last evening. A large number
of talented children appeared
on the long and interesting
program, which, as usual in
these revues, was run off in
a thoroughly professional fash.
ion.
The children. admirably
trained, revealed proficiency in
all sorts of dancing, tap, aero
batic, toe and jazz numbers
alternating in bewildering pro-
fusion. the costumes were as
attractive as the dancers were
clever.
The idea of the presentation,
as the name implies, was to
show scenes typical of various
countries that would be touched
on a world tour, as a setting
for characteristic dances. The
first part of the program ended
in Hollywood, with some imper
sonations of movie stars, and
then came the good old U. S. A.
It is quite impossible to select
from the list of perhaps $50
children, mostly girls, any who
might fairly be singled out for
special praise, for such a course
would not be fair to the 'est.
They were all splendid, and If
they continue their careers
many of them should be heard
from on stage or screen. How
ever, it is worthy of mention
that Jane Hoffman, who forms
an important part of the Hoff-
man-Hoskins firm, appears in
this years revue, and to excel,
lent advantage.
The revue will be repeated to-
night.

RIALT0'S FILM

THRILLS

Flying through an ice gorge
more than 1000 feet deep IN or.
der to save a girl and her lover
who have been lost in a blizzard
on one of the highest peaks Of
the Alps Mountains is one OF
the stunts performed by Ernst
Udet in the picture at the Rialto
Theater, which opened special
engagement today. This is seen
in THE White He'll of Pitz Palu, "
said to be one of the most amaz-
ing motion pictures ever made.
The story has to do with two
men and a woman and a noun
tain ghost" which rules the des-
tiny of all three. The human
triangle is worked out high above
the clouds, with a blizzard beat
ing in upon the unfortunates and
all of the fury of the elements
added to their discomfort. The
ghost" is successful in once
more claiming a victim and leav-
ing the original lovers to go their
way IN happiness.
One of the features of this
strange production is the breath
taking flying of Ernest Udet,
German war ace, who in trying
to help the storm-beleaguered trio,
is seen looping the loop over the
top of this great mountain peak
with the clouds hanging far be-
low him. Lives we're risked many
times in the making Of this pic
ture which took more than eight
months.
A newsreel. comedy and the
Rialto orchestra fill out the in
