So that's that. You probably will

Neither battler stands out. Tow is
the better boxer, but is sans punch.
Herman kin hit like everything with

M former idol Of Foggy Bottom,
whose idleness in the ring
soured once-admiring Capital
clientele, returns to the squared circle
tonight at Portner's Arena after four
month layoff to battle Les Kennedy Of
Chicago in Alexandria's first heavy
weight scrap Of the year.
Marty will be an overwhelming un-
derdog. One good reason is because
in the past he has insisted upon dis
appointing against fighters he ought to
lick with one hand tied behind his back.
In fact, that Is the main reason.
Then another fairly good reason, Of
course, Is Les Kennedy, who whipped
Bob Goodwin, sixth ranking light heavy
weight of the country. Kennedy did
swell Job on Goodwin right in Alexan-
dria's little reformed brewery, and
Washington fans can't see how he can
miss against Marty.
DUT that is merely the attitude Of
ID the fans in general. Old P. T.
Barnum was perfectly correct, for

Today all the stars produced on the

first few years Of the national munich

Back In 1928, 1924 and 1925. golfers
from the public courses Of the National
Capital were golfers to be reckoned
with In any national public links
championship. Washington's team won
the Harding Cup emblematic Of the
team title, In 1924, furnished the medal
ist in the championship Of the same
year and provided semi-finalist in
1925. In all the years since 1925, only
one Washingtonian has gone anywhere
at all in the national public course

H. Burrows, who went to the fourth
round In the championship two years
ago.
BURROWS probably is the best pub
- lie links golfer in Washington
today, although he dropped his
municipal title to young George Malloy
last July. The rotund poultry dealer
is the only public links player produced
In recent years who has been able to go
anywhere in club tournaments. Burrows
was runner-up to Jimmy Herman in
the 1881 Chevy Chase tournament and
in the same year he won the Manor

FANS FIND EVENING

by FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

~HICAGO, January 31.-Night
base ball, from all re-
~ ports, seems to be losing
whatever popularity 1t may
have possessed, in all parts OF the
country. For a time the nocturnal
game was regarded as the finan-
cial salvation of the minor leagues,
particularly in the smaller organi-
cations, and its novelty made for
a temporary gain in attendance.
But after the novelty of night games
began to wear Off, fans began to return
to their customary evening pursuits.
Base ball Is essentially Gay time game
and when played at night loses 1nucn
OF its appeal. In the Pacific Coast ana
Texas Leagues where climatic con-
ditions are most ideal for night base
ball there is growing an.asonlsm
toward evening contests. N some cltleS
night games will be abandoned entrely
and IN others played only once or
twice per week.
CEORGE WHITE OF Dallas after OBJ
" serving evening games over
period Of time IN the Texas
League, declares:
There is no denying that night base
ball widens the distance between the
fans in the STANDS and the payers.

game in that sector. It was the old
two-bit bleachers that bred the hardy
race Of fans who stuck to the home

the gamefo its highest financial peak.
Two-bit bleachers will bring youngsters
back to the parks and help create q
new generation of real fans
It seems far better business to have
the bleachers filled at 25 cents throw
than to have them empty at so cents
Perhaps more Of the larger minor
leagues will see the logic Of the Pacific

Scarcely, however had the 8,400 fans
concluded one of the widest ovations
in Cleveland's ring history in tribute to
the husky battler than they witnessed
weird finish Of another fight that
sent them home arguing.
Ben Jeby, recognized in New York
State as the middleweight champion,
won the unusual battle by decision of
the referee, but as he climbed out of
the ring he left a wildly gesticulating
Paul Pirrone urging him to come back
and fight some more.
Pironne had been foored six times
in the first five rounds. When the bell
changed for the start OF the sixth, he
sat unconcerned, obeying the command
of his manager, Eddie Mead, to wait
for count Of nine. Jeby. fioored once
himself, stood punching the air above
Pirrone's head and begging the Cleve-
lander to come on" as Referee Freddy
Block pumped out the count.
WHEN Pirrone's handlers finally gave

Jeby's hand in token of a tech
nical knockout. So, while Pirrone stood
in the center Of the ring asking more
fight and spectators milled about
threatening dire punishment to Jeby
and his handlers, Jeby donned his bath
robe and called 1t night
The Boxing Commission upheld the
decision. Jeby's title was not at stake.
Jones winning punch was delivered

he rushed over and clipped Slaughter

most greens will accommodate such

Gene Sarazen hits down on the

do this he plays the bali back far

merely comes into the ball while
it still is descending-jlist . bit be-

Macdonald Smith seldom takes a

I'VE remember back in 1921 and 1922,

WE remember back in 1921 and 1922,
w when George Voigt was a me
chanic employed at the Treasury,
how he used to be down at East Po-
tomac Park shortly after dawn, prac-
ticing golf shots, and how he went
down there right after work to do more
practicing. Did this hard work show
up in future years? Voigt's present
eminence as golfer Of international
reputation Is founded on those endless
hours of practice down there on the
wind-swept reaches of East Potomac
Park. Those glorious days of a decade
ago seem to have vanished into the
misty past But undoubtedly it is only
temporary obscurity. What has been
done once can be done again. and some

lad will begin to branch out on the
