Sense of Value Needed

TTUMANENESS is commenda-

tail, but, like everything else, it
calls for certain sense of value.
At this precise moment, it calls
for concentrated thought and ac-

human beings who have been
trapped by the relentless move
ment of depression and who are
wearing themselves out in futile
attempt to find relief.

Future historians may record
the incident as proving the re-

characterized America thirteen
years after the Great war and in
the midst of depression. If they
do, they can put another beside it
to show that prejudice to spiders,

Szabo Pins Romero in Last
Bout-NeW Place Sought
for Indoor Shows.

TINE rassling season ended last
night at Boiling Field. Today
Messrs. Goldie Ahearn and Bert
Bertolini were on the lookout
for a new site to hold forth this Win
ter, having agreed to abandon the
armory at Boiling Field for the indoor
season.
Favorites ran true to form last night,
with Sander Szabo's back-drop featur-
ing the final presentation. Szabo won
over Mike Romano in straight falls in
the main match, albeit the first fall
was bit f1ukey. The first, which came
after 18 minutes, found Szabo rolling
over on Romano after Referee Charlie
swan had begun to count over Szabo.
Swan had counted one when Romano
was on top, but Szabo rolled over on
Romano. The next two counts were
the Hungarian's and with those counts
went the first fall.
Szabo won the second after min
uteS with back-drop.
The crowd of approximately 1000
seemed to go for a preliminary bout
between Tiger Nelson and Babe Cad
dock IN big way, more so than for
the feature, judging by the noise AS
usual Nelson played the villain role and
was soundly squelched after 18 minutes
by the heroic Caddock. In other bouts
Glenn Mum defeated Bill Middlekauf
after 13 minutes; Steve Snowsh and
Vanka zeleSniak went to a 30-minute
draw and Luigi Bagagalupi pinned Mi
haly Orgavany after 20 minutes.

Moons and Sundays. Sometimes busi-
ress becomes too pressing even for
q golfer to leave it.
The son of noted golfer of other
days, John F. Brawner, slim and
wiry, has made up for his lack of
robustness by an amazing ability to
fire a golf ball straight as a string
on the line to a distant pin. His
daddy-the beloved John w. Braw-
ner, noted player of two decades
ago-had the same ability. Young
John can be as long as the longest
OF long hitters, but his forte is ac-
curacy. For the knack of hitting a
golf ball good way and keeping
it on the shortest route to the hole,
John Brawner Is not surpassed by
any man around Washington. This
year he has been able to slip out
to Columbia late in the afternoon
occasionally, and, judging by the
scores he has made, his game is as
good as it ever was, even back in
the days when he played golf all
the time. He has whipped the ball
around Columbia often in II and
72, and he will go over to Baltimore
next week for his first national
amateur chockfull of confidence in
his ability to score rs or better even
over that rugged Five Farms course.
1t would not be surprising to find
John Brawner surviving for the
match-play rounds. He has the
golf, but the main question is
whether he has played enough to
have the stamina necessary to hold
his game together over the lengthy
championship route.

Dorothy Paget, British-born grand
daughter of william c. Whitney and
niece of Harry Payne Whitney.
Aga Khan bid and bid, but Miss
Paget always raised his offer. Finally
he bid 5000 guineas (nearly $4,000
currently) and when Miss Paget raised
it to 4,000 he turned to go. He stopped,
however, and tried twice more, but
when the girl bid 4,300 guineas, he fed

mean that John F. Braw-
ner's game has any weak
ends. This Columbia golfer. one of
the nine local qualiflers for the
national amateur championship next
week at Baltimore, plays only two
or three times a week-usually on
week ends-but with that small
amount of practice he manages to
keep his game in such shape that
he can whack a golf ball around
his home layout anywhere between

ner would like to have the ability

Seven or eight years ago, when,
John was just out of school, he was
one of the best of the younger golf
ers about the Capital. He grew up
in the game in the days when
Roland Mackenzie and George
Voigt were just about the hottest
golfers around Washington. In those
days Johnny could keep level with
them, but even then he did not play
a lot of competitive golf. In the
last four years he has played even
less, and for the last two or three
years his golf activities have been
confined to play on Saturday after

COMES FROM REAR
FOR VIRGINIA TITLE
Thompson Beaten in 7.Game
FinaI-MaryIanders Go
for Crown Tonight.

//VY YELL. sir, the old boy is
NJ home with the bacon
' Y at last!"
George C. Thomp-
son, veteran horseshoe pitcher of
Falls Church, had won mis- third
straight game from Clayton Hen
son Of Arlington in the final for
the Northern Virginia champion
ship.
1t was a 7-game set, the first
of that length to be held in The
Stars annual Metropolitan cham
pionships, and Thompson needed
one more win. In view of what
had gone before, it looked easy.
Henson, former State title holder,
caught off stride and nettled by
the veterans machine-like peg
ringing, appeared to have lost
hope.
Yes sir, the colonel is in!" shouted
the irrepressible Ed Henry. Thompson s
horseshoe pitching rival at Falls Church
who shared with many others a desire
to see a triumph for the veteran who
for four years had striven valiantly for
invariably on the threshold Of achieve
ment.
A T the start Of the fourth game
n Henson ran up a 21to-6 lead and
his adherents began nursing a
forlorn hope. 1t ftickered dangerously
when the veteran clanked on two con-
secutive double ringers to pick up IL
points. In the twentieth inning he not
only closed the gap with double
header but went l point up.
Another pair of ringers two innings
later gave him a margin of 35 to 81
and he needed only IS points more for
victory. 1t looked a cinch.
Then something happened Thomp-
son, wiry and athletic but in the middle
age, had been pitching the 212 pound
shoes without a let-up for several hours.
He had eliminated the defending cham
pion, Charles Chic Darr of Ballston be-
fore reaching Henson and had pitched
a second-round match with George
Hooven. When he came to the fourth
game Of the final, Thompson had
pitched seven 50-point games with no
time out. After finishing with one
opponent he had helped warm up the
next.
IN the twenty-fourth inning Henson
i tossed on two shoes and Thompson
missed with both. This put the
youngster out front again, 38 to 35, and
he dropped worried look. In fact he
seemed exultant.
He had cause to be. The veteran had
broken at last.
Thompson made game try for VIC
tory in that fourth game. He mastered

stirred up the sand within him and fell
just short. Henson won, 5047.

the most spectacular uphill victory in
the history of the Metropolitan tourna-

THE 1882 fishing season is a banner

been landed. But the real surprise has
been the large number of blue fish. The
waters are fairly alive with them, and
the farther down the bay the angler
goes, the larger blues he finds.
Chesapeake Beach reports plenty Of
big bluefish and some large trout are
being caught. Fishing from the long
pier is also good, bluefish, trout, spot
and plenty of crabs being caught every
day.
