consistently successful against sluggers.
Galento caught Red flush on the whisk-
ers In the first round and kayoed him.
However, Unknown Winston, Obie Diah
Walker, Joe Sekyra, all Of them sharp
punchers, could not whip the Southeast
Washington redhead.
Barry's big objective is to show local
fans he really can fight and steam up a
match with Marty Gallagher, who will
come out of a years retirement next
week against Les Kennedy. II Barry
should whip Ruggirello and one or two
other fairly well known heavyweights,
and Gallagher should hurdle Kennedy,
there is little doubt that q scrap be-
tween the two local leatherslingers
would prove profitable to both princi-
pals and promoters.
Two promising six-round prelimi-

Country Club of Virginia. down in
Richmond is going to stage an open
event. now that it has in Bobby Cruick-
shank q professional golfer who can
move along with the best of 'em.
But the local interest centers around
Kenwood's move to get out of the
clouds and up in the higher strata Of
professional tournaments. Kenwood
sees no reason why its kite should be
past. The Kenwood folk believe their
tourney should be able by this time to
stand on its own two feet.
Hence the move to set up an open
tournament schedule in Philadelphia
and Richmond, which appears just now
to be headed for success. The Kenwood
folk have losses of several hundred
dollars to make up on the first two of
their three Journeys. They did make
small profit in their event last No.
vember, but this profit did not Offset
the losses Of the two previous years.
They certainly deserve a better weather
break than they have had.
CECRETARY WILLIAM C. BARR is
- preparing to lay before the Dis

ecutive Committee meeting to be held
next month, a request by Al Houghton,
Kenwood pro, that the local golf body
get behind a move to install teaching
of golf in the public schools Of the Ma
tional Capital.
Estimated cost of teaching the fun
damentals of the game in the public
schools Is between So and IS per sea-
son, and Houghton predicts that II the
Board of Education sanctions such a
move every golf professional about the
city will have job teaching the young
