last night is maintained, to vote the
light-heavyweight champion of the
South the classiest 175-pounder to peg
leather here, not excepting Make
RoSenbloom, who claims the world title.
Heraided as. one of the best looking
prospects in his weight today, Knight
lived up to his advance notices by
f1attening Big Bob Tow III the fourth
round of their scheduled 1c-round bout
last night at the Laurel, Nd, arena.
Outweighed by II pounds and giving
away inches in height and reach,
knight hurt Tow in the first round and
caught up with him IN the fourth, fir
ing short left hook that nailed Tow
on the side of the jaw, behind the right
ear, and ending what might have been
crackerjack bout had it gone longer.
Tow, lacking steam behind his
punches, but showing to advantage in
the second and third rounds at times
by crowding his smaller opponent, was
hit in a vital spot in the fourth. He
careened crafty, fell, attempted to rise
and then rolled through the ropes and
into the laps of the ringsiders. He was
out fully 2 minutes and not until he
reached his dressing room did he find
out what it was all about.
The semi-final proved to be a siZZlcr.
Reds Bush and Ray Swanson, both of
whom were ready and willing to fight,
mixed it all the way, with Swanson
getting the decision after eight rounds
of bloody milling. In the preliminaries

Cup youngsters who helped to
turn back British invasion at Brook

opponents to the Five Farms for prac-

Mccarthy arrived yesterday in time

He has been turned back until to-
day, for he started the final day O
the District championship at Chev,
Chase with such lengthy lead tina
only the most unfortunate turn of thu
golfing fates can rob him Of his frs
major title. The youngster shot twin
rounds Of 1918 yesterday for q tota
Of las to take 7-stroke lead over hi
nearest rival.
THIS may be his year, however,
i for since his return to the Cap
ital from Duke University,
where he goes to school, he has been
burning up the golf courses around
Washington. Roger shot a 36-hole
score of 148 to qualify for the ma
donal championship in mid-August
and undoubtedly will be one of the
brightest stars among the nine en-
trants from Washington in the ma
tional Championship at Baltimore
next week
Last year, in addition to winning
the junior title, Roger was runner-up
to Harry Pitt for the District all-ages
championship. Indeed, for q time
in that last round, only @ single
stroke separated Pitt and Peacock as
they battled for the championship
over the final round of the 72-hole
title chase.
Last Spring, Roger met Billy
Howell twice in schoolboy matches in
the South and twice he beat the
Richmond lad. The only big tourna-
ment in which Roger has played this
year was the recent Middle Atlantic
championship. He did not go far in
this tourney, which was won by
Ernie Caldwell of Baltimore.
DUT young Peacock, who is the son
- of Harry Peacock of Silver
Spring, has far more golf in him
than his record shows. Those who
have watched him play Indian Spring
in SO strokes and play other courses
IN subpar figures believe that one day
soon Roger will begin winning, and
when he does, no one will be able
to stop him. He has sound game of
golf with all his clubs. is long
hitter and a good putter If his
clubs get "hot" in the national next
week, he can qualify safely.
Roger learned the game on the old
Argyle Country Club course, where
small greens make accurate pitches
absolutely necessary. His pitch shots
are models to watch, for he had to
learn to hit 'em right In those days
when his game was forming
Today he Is one of the brightest
hopes Of the younger golf school
around Washington "a budding
champion who may crash through
any time.

Warneke Is Held
Most Valuable
NEW YORK, September Burt

NEW YORK, September Burt
~ Shotton, manager Of the Phil
lies, would give the prize for
the player most valuable to his team
in the National League to young Lon
Warneke, pitcher of the Cubs.
Shotton's argument is that War
neke has won 20 games for the
Chicago team and without those 20
victories the Cubs would be in the
second division.
No other player in the National
League can claim credit for 20 VIC
tories, says Shotton. Chuck Klein
leads in home runs, tallies batted
in, runs scored and stolen bases,
yet he has not been responsible for
20 victories, according to Shotton's

the men who make their living
