But when a country like England shows itself

it turns with relief to secular amusements such

be something wrong.

THE work on the Grant monument places
premium upon the special qualifications
which the cleaners must possess. There can
be no dizziness uncertainty of foot Con-
versely, full ability to devise ingenious uses of

Every once in while the purveyors of
cleanliness come upon evidences Of miscreants

only the results of definite intentions are
revealed. In some cases the cleaners have
faced the task of removing remnants OF egg
bombardments.
But all the stains caused by objects thrown
against monuments. fortunately do not find
their sources in maliciousness. Many OF them
are simply the products Of children's playful
ness, which Is misdirected. The memorial
erected east Of Scott Circle to honor the
achievements Of DR.. Samuel Hahnemann, for
instance. bears irremovable stains simply be-
cause boys of the neighborhood have viewed
its semi-circular expanse as a target for the
persimmon like growths they obtained from
trees In the vicinity.
Also, the results Of thoughtlessness are en-
countered when the memorial to men from the
District of Columbia who served in the World
War is subjected to scourings. This memorial,
located in West Potomac Park, almost con-
stantly Is defaced by persons who scrape their
shoes ON the large stone blocks which form its
base.

there are the collections Of initials with at

The monuments caretakers are stumped,
however, by the stains which appear on stone
bases which support bronze statues. These
stains are produced by chemical action that
accompanies the draining of rain water across
the face Of the bronze and downward over the
stone. No means has yet been devised whereby
these stains can be removed without injury to
the stone. The statue of Marshal Count de
Rochambeau located at the southwest corner of
Lafayette Park stands on base quite generally
discolored in this manner, which is especially
defiant when the cleaners pay it their annual
visits. BY way Of paradox. removal of the

according to the views Of some, that they have

r. ALEXANDER ALEKHINE,
world chess champion, cap
tured first prize In the Cali

fornia Chess Congress, held at
Pasadena in connection with the Olym-
pic contests.
His lead, however, was not so out
standing as in some Of the European
contests in which he has taken part.
This is accounted for by his unexpected
loss to Dake near the finish Of the
tourney. This came shortly after the
champion had administered a defeat
to young Isaac KaShdan, something he
had not been able to accomplish pre-
viously, though he had tried it four
times, each game resulting in draw.
This game gave him lead of l point
over Kashdan; drawn battle would
have made them tie for first place.
The champion played the white pieces
against Kashdan in the queens gambit
declined opening in an unusual man
ner, and early gained the upper hand.
He won the exchange on the nineteenth
move; then followed an exchange OF
pieces, including queens. Kashdan re-
signed on his sixtieth move.
In addition to losing to Dake, draws
were gained from Alekhine by Factor,
Reinfeld and Fine. More than half the
games, or 48 out of a total of 80 games
played in the tournament, were drawn.
Kashdan, Dake and Steiner played on
the champion United States team last
year. Eight of the ten United States
players were closely punched.
Following are shown the games won,
lost and drawn by each player and his
final score:

DOWN in Wall street, where the
- Bulls and the Bears engage in
daily scientific battles, there Is
a ruddy-faced, stocky, middle-aged
man with a fiat. broken nose, thick
set lips and a pair of lunpy cauli-
flower ears that attracts consider
able attention. Once Broadway's
boldest battler, this man who carries
the badge of his former profession
all over his map Is billed now as a
bankers bodyguard. His name?
None other than the famous Kid
Broad.
William Thomas Broad, the sub
ject of this yarn, is great story
book character. With his Chinese
eyes, his lisp that makes it difficult
for one to understand him unless one
has sharp ears. and a head that
seems to be top heavy for his chunky
body, the Kid is the same happy-go-
lucky fellow of bygone days, with
heap of friends still to do him
homage.
At Sc years of age he looks the
picture of health. Every now and
then he fills in as a special pug
character in the movies, and so well
does he perform that one would
swear that he had spent all Of his
life on the stage instead Of in the
ring. Some months ago he filled in
the part of the tough in a Billie
Burke production and made hit
with his part. When he is unem-
ployed in the movies he finds en-
ployment as bodyguard and bank
runner in Wall street.
Kid Broad's name became famous
during the days of fisticuffs when
Terry McGovern, Young Corbett,
Kid MacFarland, Patsy Haley, Dave
Sullivan, Benny Yanger, Abe Attell,
Eddie Hanlon, Aurelio Herrera, Oscar
Gardner and other stars were In the
lime1ight.
He was an amateur in Cleveland,
where he lived, when Kid Mccoy
discovered him and brought him to
New York when he was only 16, and
he has lived in the Big City, along
the Great White Way, ever since.
He was born In Liscard, Cornwall,
three miles from the home of Bob
Fitzsimmons, and came to America
with his parents at an early ago.

middle age who has been able to win
the amateur championship over the
last decade and a half. The kids,
between 10 and 81. have had mo-
nopoly on the winning of champion
ships. And Billy Dettweiler, at IA,
has better than an even break as he
starts on the championship trail.
DILLY Is tall youngster for his
- age. Standing feet 8 inches
in height, he blasts golf ball
q long way. Like most kids, he gets
more kick out of the booming tee
shot than out of any other shot in
the game. But he also specializes
in pin-seeking iron shots and in
lengthy puts that find the bottom
of the tin. Out at Manor, where
a half years ago, Billy has played
the course in 10 strokes. He aver
ages around II over that course,
whose par is II, and he will do bet
ter as his game steadies with more
experience Billy shot the Chevy
Chase course in 72-80-152 In the
recent qualifying rounds for the am
ateur, a score which was the envy
Of many more experienced golfers.
If he can do something like that in
the coming title tourney he will
make the grade for match play.
But golf has gotten good deal
faster since the days when Bobby
Jones broke in. Certainly there will
be no keener competitor anywhere
along the bunkered pathway at Five
Farms than Billy Dettweiler. What
a kick q lot of kids would get If he
made the grade. Billy attends

plays base ball and tennis, In addi-
ticn to his golf activities.

in practice that tomorrow
nights tournament at Falls
Church for State honors appears
to be a toss-up.
The. pressure will be on hard
for beside individual ambition the
leading contenders will have ira
ditional rivalries to spur them.
These lie mainly between repre-
sentatives of Fairfax and Airing
ton Counties.
Fairfax will send into the tourna-
ment two of the finest pitchers in the
metropolitan area in George Thompson
and Ed Henry and Arlington County
will have the defending champion,
Charles Chic Darr OF Ballston and the
of Arlington.
THE field will be seeded in such man
i ner as not to bring together, in
the first round, any two stars OF
the same county. 1t promises to be an
exciting affair in the late going, for
undoubtedly the struggle will be mostly
between those red-hot rivals, Fairfax
and Arlington.
Most earnest of all tomorrow nights
pitchers probably will be Henson, who
lost the State crown last year to Darr.
The Arlington youth, though he has
pitched some sensational games in
work -outs, has been mediocre per-
former in competition this Summer.
The opportunity to redeem himself Is
at hand and Henson is prirled.
Virginia will qualify five players for
the metropolitan finals. the last of four
major events comprising The Stars
fourth annual championships. The
semi -fnalists tomorrow night will be
eligible to carry on and the fifth place
will be contested for by the defeated
quarter -finaliStS.
IN the meantime, Maryland also looks
u to a grand struggle. The Old Line
aces will have it out Friday night
on the fancy new layout at Brentwood,
with w. N. Mahaffey, town councilman,
directing.
Maryland's tournament, too. defies
the prophets. Joe Merryman Of Blad-
ensburg will be something of favor
ite but it won't be sensation II the
champ is defeated.
Entries will be accepted up to a short
time before start Of play, both at Falls
Church and Brentwood. The tourna-
ments will get under way at 7:30 pm.
