OFFICER HIT BY
WOMAN MOTORISI'
Driver Stated She Feared
Immigration Men Might
Be Highwaymen

[ NJ 4. Ariz., Mar. ll.-UP)-
Claude +. Van Horn, FL Centre, Cal,
immigration inspector, was seriously
injured near here early today when
he was struck by an automobile and
hurled 80 feet through the air.
Van Horn and Il Yuma inspector
had been searching machines for
smugglcd aliens at a point 20 miles
west of here. When they attempted
TO stop a car driven by Miss Mar
jorie Martin, 50, Los Angeles sales
lady, she turned her machine off the
highway and struck Van Horn.
The latter's head was badly
bruised and lacerated, his left leg
fractured and his body deeply cut.
The woman explained she had been
held up before and that she had
thought the two men with flash
lights were highwaymen.
Both Officers were wearing uni

Van Horn worked out of the To-
cal immigration office according to

of this district.

pital following the accident and i
reported TO be resting comfortably
with good chance of recovery. Van
Horn is married and has several chill
Cren, making his home at sl7 Euclid

FRA|L BOY

AL Singer, lightweight cham

years, which makes his achieve

once held by such famous gladi-
ators as Cans. Nelson. Lavigne,
Wolgast. Richie. Welsh and
Leonard remarkable feat.
The Bronx boy started his
ring career as an amateur with
out his parents knowledge. The
family was opposed to Al becom-
ing a boxer because he always
had been a frail boy. When he
was only a few months old he
was so i'll that the doctors gave
up hope for him.
AL was interested in boxing
and boxers almost from the time
he was able to toddle. AS a
small boy it was his habit to
stand outside a cigar store in his
neighborhood in the Bronx and
beg coupons from customers.
When he had collected enough
coupons he would cash them in
for q set of boxing gloves and he
and his cronies would fail away
at each other until the gloves
were worn out. Then Al would
promote new set.
AS an amateur he was dis
tinguised by a fast straight left

Chernoff and George Goldberg
but he evened the score with each
of them in return bouts.
Late in 1928 Singer received
his first severe test when he met
Tony Canzoneri, the result OF
their tilt being o draw. He was
travelling at fast clip in 1928
until he was knocked out by Ig
nacio Fernandez in Madison
Square Garden on May II. Al

result of being thumbed in a pre-
vious bout with Patsy Ruffalo.
Instead of being discouraged
by that mishap, Singer started a
new campaign which eventually
carried him to the lightweight
title. His most sensational VIC
tory in 1929 was two-round
knockout over Andre RoutiS, then
world featherweight champion. in
a non-titular bout. He dropped q
disputed decision to Kid Cfoco-
late last August, before one of

GREAT CHANCE
FOR STE|NBORN

The chance of his lifetime.
That's how District mat fans
are sizing up Milo Steinborn's
opportunity in his wrestling
match tomorrow night at the
Washington Auditorium with Dick
Shikat, the former champion who
lost his title to Jim Londos early
in June.
Think of the prestige and posi-.
ton a victory would give him. It
would place him. in the position
of logical challenger for Londos'
title. his supporters here, and
they are many, point out. This
certainly would be a big step
ahead for Steinborn, who in two
short years wrestling, has rapidly
come to the front.
What Steinborn needs
most, in the opinion of vet
cram wrestling fans, Is just
a lite more science. His al
most superhuman strength
! he holds Is worlds records in
weight lfting-enabIes him
to break opponents holds
with sheer brute force.
Shikat has been in retirement
since losing his crown to Londos
and tomorrow nights match will
be his first since then. He plans
to start all over again by con-
quering all the logical contenders
and work his way back up the
ladder to another shot at Londos.
While not active during the past
six weeks. Shikat, nevertheless,
kept In perfect trim and is deter.
mined to work back up TO the
top.
The shikat-steinborn match
match will have three fine sup
porting bouts with it, Hans

Romano and Trough House" Oh

JOURNEYS
BY JUNO KINERK

Every now and then q golfer
or sports celebrity attains fame
by some achievement as a hole
in one, leading Bobby Jones, hit
ting a home run with the bases
full, or similar featS. But there
also are other ways Of getting
the spotlight focus.
Take the case of Al Houghton,
for instance. There isn't a
rlofer or a golf fan in Washing
ton who doesn't know AL, or
know of him, for he has been at
the. top, or mighty near 1t, in
local golf competition for the
last 10 years, though he is nov
but 27 years old.
AS well as AIS record is known,
1t is doubtful If one fan in a
hundred knows that he holds one
of the most unique records in
golf. One that possibly only one
other golfer in this country
shares with him.
HOughtOn's unique record
Is this-he has played In
every national golf tOurna-
ment at least Once-hiS re-
cent competing i'm the u. 8.
Open rounding out the cycle
of national events.
The four major tournaments
In which AL has participated at
different times are these-The
q. S. National Public Parks
tournament, the u. S. National
Amateur tournament, in which he
played five different times. the
National Professional Golfers AS
ISOLATION tournament and the
y. S. Open tournament.
While it is true that Houghton
has never brought back any ma
jor laurels from any Of these
big Journeys, it is almost certain
that one of these days he'll start
clicking and reach the top rung,
for around here he is just about
the steadiest and most conslS-
tent scorer now banging the ball
from tee to cup. His records IN
the Middle-Atlantic semi-monthly
events and other local compet1-
ton bear out this statement, for
he is usually at the top.
Just now Al is having trouble
with his putting. His play from
tee to green is just about perfect,
or as near perfect as it is possible
to get in this uncertain game of
golf. But on the carpet his arst-
while magic touch has deserted
him and his three-putt green's are
all too frequent to satisfy him.
Right now he is working hard
to overcome this unstead:Eess.
1t was this weakness, Al says. that
prevented him from qualifying fer
the final 36 holes in the United
States open.

In his other major competition
al reached the semi-final round In
the national public parks tourney
in 1925 at New York, but he never
did much in any of the five ma

for the two positions and AL was
nicely on the green in two with
