FELTON,

! March, with her cold, windy
weather, and a young blizzard, ar.
rived on Sunday and on Monday
there was quite snow. 1t was the
worst storm we have had this win
ter. A gale of wind that continued
the night through, and after dark
snow accompanied the rain and
wind. Looks like March is going to
prove to be the real winter month.
The farmers will not get to do
much farming this month unless it
changes quite lot
The potato buyers are buying and
packing potatoes which are low in
price as they are only 20 cents Il
hamper. That. surely is some low
price for the growers to start their
work again, but hope springs etern-
al in farmer breasts, so they do not
worry but set at work planning for
another crop. 1t will soon be time
to start work on their hat beds for
bedding.
A silver medal contest was held
on Friday, February Goth, in the
auditorium of the school, under the
auspices of the FELTON, w. c. T. u.
was largely attended and proved a
very nice program

premier woman racqueter, and
seeded No. 2 in the current tour
nament, clashes with the hard
hitting Clara Tabler, No. 2 rank
ing District of Columbia player,
in a match which should develop
some of the best tennis of the
year and, possibly forecast the
ultimate winner Of the tourna-
ment.
Miss Tabler is noted for her
powerful drives, which have the
speed and force of those Of a
man.
She learned her tennis in Cali
fornia and made a big. splurge
in tennis circles of Baltimore two
years ago.
Gained Top Rungs
She came to Washington last
year and Immediately established
herself as a first flight player.
Her highest achievement was win
ming the Wardman Park tourna-
ment last autumn.
The former Californian bowed
to Mrs. Ruth Martinez in the
semifinals of the recent Public
Parks tournament after three
hard.fought sets, and Mrs. Mar
tinez went on to win the title.
Miss Hofmcister is a habitual
finalist in Illinois tournaments.
Mae Ceurvorst, recent Seabright
sensation, defeated her for the
Illinois State title last year.
Cecilia Reigel, of Philadelphia,
seeded No. I, is due to debut
against Bobsy Totten today, and
Laura Pittinger, of New Jersey,
seeded No. 4, faces Mrs. E. K.
Morris. These two matches were
to have been played yesterday,
but Miss Reigel and Miss Pittin-
ger were unacCountably detained.

Mrs. Martinez, defending cham
pion, will find Helen Philpitt a
difficult opponent, and Marion
Butler will put Margaret Ryan
to a severe test.

turesque left fielder of the New
York Black Yankees, will go on
parade tomorrow night when
Washington Pilots resume their
night schedule under the lights
at Griffith Stadium at $3.50
o'clock.
For daring, brains and all
around natural ability, it is
claimed, Jenkins is in class by
himself.
A natural batsman and place
hitter, he also is a spectacular
and smooth defensive man. 1t is
as base runner, however, chat
he provides most thrills.
A 10-second man in his baseball
shoes, the barrel-chested ss1ar utiI-
ICES his speed to the utmost. Only
recently he was credited with
sweeping a series with Pittsburgh'S
CraWfordS almost single handed,
rounding the runways virtually at

OIL tsmarting the opposition and
playing q smashing game of ball
generally to establish himself as

GROUP
| WILL BATTLE
FOR TITLES
BY JACK DEMPSEY
Written for and Copyrighted, 1882

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2.-Never
before have any Olympic boxing
duels had such an important
bearing on the future of the pro
fessional sports as in this tenth
Olympiad.
In other days and other years,
the pros, coming out of the no
where, were being tutored well,
were being given fine teaching,
were being brought along gradual
1y to the high places, and, as re-
suit, the sport was always we'll
peopled with high-class ringmen.
Everything is different now.
Too many men. called man
ayers, are in the game for the
sole purpose of harvesting dollars
from the efforts of the boys, re-
gardleSs of whether those boys
are ripe for real action. They
have been hauling these young
SterS off trucks. off farms. out of
here, there and everywhere. put
ting them through a few motions
and then turning them loose.
Fadi Vets and Youngsters
AS a consequence, the profes-
sional ranks of today are made
up mainly of fading veterans and
youngsters who know little about
the science of defense, little
about the art of accurate hitting
and little other than to grab and
haul and maui. Few have gone
through the school of fistic learn
ing and been carefully carried
along until, because of knowledge
and physical maturity, they are
ready to give their best efforts.
So, in this crisis, the call for
future pros must be made upon
the boys who will go into the
fight for the highest honors that
the Olympiad can offer. These
boys are not crude, not burned
out. not merely human hulks.
They have been drilled in every
department of boxing through
several years. Those who have
tutored them have been careful
and they have been patient
They have not hurried the boys
along. They have develop d
them gradually through a series
of rhort bouts, longer ones and
still longer. These boys never
have been overmatched and never
have been punished.
Must Be Intelligent
One of the underwritten rules
for applicants for places on the
Olympic team is that the boys
must be intelligent and that he
love the fight game. With these
assets added to sensible training
of fundamentals and assorted eX
perience. it is inevitable that
within the group of Olympic
amateurs are many youngsters
who have more ability right now
than many professionals.
This Tenth Olynpiad seems to
have brought into action a finer
group Of ringmen than ever has
been shown before. Those who
emerge as champions will be
worthy of the name. am posi-
tive that from out Of the group
will come many who will create
havoc with the hopes Of existing
professionals for the high places
in pugilism.
The past has brought us many
Olympic champions who be-
come great among the greatest
in the professional division and l
am positive that history will re-
peat again and again in 1882.
For, as I see it, whoever wins an
Olympic title will be just about
good enough to do the same thing
in the professional ranks with a
little more experience,

REED NOTIFIES
HIMSELF

They don't have to notify Mr..
Jimmy Reed, the bluStery light
weight, from Jacksonville, Fla,
when he nabs a fight decision.
No, stree. our naughty scrapper
sat atop the ropes at the con-
clusion of his eight-round session
with Make Strub, an old foe from
Erie, Pa, in the feature match
of the Twin City A. A. card out
side Laurel, Md, last night.
He couldn't wait for the posi-
tive announcement of his victory,
so he rushed over to where An
nouncer Ed Brockman was read
ing the slips of Referee Charlie
Short and the two judges and
then helped Brockman raise his
hand, as a token of the con-
queror.
Would Have Been Bad
Imagine where Mr.. Reeds chin
would have been had one of those
queer decisions that have
marked several fights in this
neighborhood within the past few
months been given?
There was no question about
the winner being the proud Mr..
Reed, a colorful ringster. He
wanted dearly to bash Strub,
who had four times beaten Reed.
The latter gained four rounds
by a wide margin, two went to
Strub and two were even.
Customers JOlted
The customers were jolted
loose from their seats when
Sammy Britt kayoed Young Van
in the first round. A left to the
stomach and right to the jaw
dropped the hitherto unbeaten
youngSter. He tried to arise at
three instead of taking a nine
count and, Referee Short seeing
Vans helpless condition, humanely
halted the bout.
Roddy Davis, lightweight, out
pointed his neighborhood pal,
Billy Eschinger, in a six-rounder.
1t was a close duel with Davis
finishing strong to gain the
verdict. Roy Manley outslugged
Whitley Saylor; Joe Raspi beat
Young Jack Simpson and Young
Harry Groves shaded Mickey
