From an American viewpoint,
the outstanding feature of this
years Grand National is the fact
that Mrs. T. H. Somerville's sturdy
Berrildon-The Busybody gelding,
Troublemaker, will make the ef-
fort. The good gelding classifies
as a true-blue American entry
in that he is American born and
bred, is owned by a noted Ameri-
can sportswoman, and will be
piloted in the great steeplechase
by a noted American gentleman
Jockey, Noel Laing, who brought
Troublemaker down in the Mary
land Gold Cup of 1882.
Because of the dramatic posi-
bilities of Mrs. Sommerville'S
plunge into the Grand National,
her personality and those of
Laing and Troublemaker over
shadow those of other American
owners and entries.
GREAT SPORTSWOMAN
The quiet and unassuming little
lady who is M. F.. H. Montpelier
Hunt, Albemarle County, Va, is
a sportswoman of the first water.
Under rather adverse circum-
stances she achieved first honorS
among owners in the 1882 hunt
race meeting series, saddling no
less than 13 winners, three place
horses and five thirds in 26
races. All this she accomplished
in admirable sporting fashion,
having had only 10 horses with
which to do it!
There can be no questioning
the fact that Mrs. Sommerville,
the former Marion du Pont, of
Wilmington, Del, carries the
hopes and the wishes of Amer
leans, more particularly Virgin
ianS. Her neighbors, and her
friends from one end of the
country to the other, cannot re-
frain from reflecting in their
thoughts and words their pride
in the SportSwoman from Abe
marie county, Va. whose estate
there is a renowned center of
true sportSmanShip.
The John Hay Whitney string
for the Grand National includes
Royal Ransom, Lone Eagle II,
Thomond II, Slater, Dusty Foot
and Sir Lindsay. Royal Ransom,
somewhat favored in England,
was a few months ago purchased
at a high figure.
Other American owners and en-
tires include F. Ambrose Clark's
ChaddSford, William H. Lang
ley'S Evolution, M. D. Blair'S
Ballyhandwood, j. B. Shows
Delaneige, ]. H. Metcalfe's Theras,
and John A. brakes Coupe de
Chateau.
66 ENTRIES
There are a total of 66 en-
tries from England. Ireland, Ger
many, France and the United
States, as against So last year.
There are 13 mounts entered by
Americans this year, six Of them
by John Hay Whitney.
George H. (Pete) Bostwick prob
ably will ride in the Whitney
silks. Incidentally, Bostwick has
an entry of his own, Burglar.
Rubio, owned by an English
manA is the only American-bred
to win the great steeplechase clas-
sic, albeit two American owners
have won it. Stephen Sanford'S
Sergeant Murphy took first hon.
ors in 1923 and A. C. Schwartz
Jack Horner won in 1925. Both
winners were purchased in Eng

COLLEGE F|VES.GETS RING BOUT
IDLE TONIGHT AND DISAPPEARS

Missing-Fighter, age 20,
weight 1865 pounds. Last seen
yesterday at 2 p. m. in Alex
andria, Va. If whereabouts known,
communicate with Jimmy Erwin,
Alexandria, Va. No reward.
Young Tuffy Griffiths, who
wanted to become a fighter, is
probably today hitch-hiking his
way back to the home folks on
the farm in Pennsylvania, $50
miles away.
Gives Manager Watch
Griffiths had written Jimmy
Erwin, the de Lawd" of many
glove throwers, telling of his
aspirations. Erwin, ever on the
scent for raw material that
might develop into championship
caliber, sent a speedy reply, CIV
ing instructions as to how to
reach Alexandria.
He arrived in Alexandria five
days ago, went through daily
workouts and was to meet Bar
foot" Green, the colorful Fred
ericksburg middleweight, in the
opening four-round preliminary of
the show in Portner's Arena last
night. At 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, Young Griffiths gave
his wrist watch to Manager
Erwin and that's the last anyone
has seen of the ambitious lad.
The most lively battle on the
program was a Six-rounder be-
tween Nick Antonelli local 1877
FOUNDER, and Bucky Taylor, 13O-
FOUNDER of Baltimore. It was an
even battle for five rounds but the
Baltlmorean gained the edge by
harder punching in the closing
round. Referee Charlie Short
halted the main contest between
frankie De Angelo, 125 pounds,
of this city, and Petey Sarron,
124 pounds, Birmingham, in the
seventh round, awarding the de-
cision to Sarron.
Young Van, 1853 pounds, full
filled his predictions by outpoint-
ing Walter Kirkwood, 16O pounds,
in another six-rounder. Van was
bruised considerably about the
face but was entitled to the YER
dict, always forcing the milling.
Billy Schwartz, Alexandria light
heavyweight, flattened Soldier
Bennett, Fort Washington heavy
weight, in the first round, and
Lloyd Phelps outpointed Johnny
Mays in a four-rounder.

KID FIELDER
.. SURE Of JOB
At FIRST
By GARRETT WATERS

ny NHNbASG "AA AAS0
One of the liveliest individuals
in spring training camp this year
will be Joe Kuhel. Although he
Is not scheduled to reI ort until
March 4 with the remainder Of
the final guard, Kuhel will be the
liveliest just the same.
The former Kansas City star
will have first base all to himself
this spring-a situation that has
not been his fortune since 1929
when he first joined the Griff.
men.
Because of this club officials be-
lieve that Kuhel will truly Jump
into his own-field like he has
never fielded before, and hit with
a new sort of vigor that's only pre-
dominant with a youngster given
his fling for the first time in life.
Kuhel, when he first was cor
rallied from Kansas City, found
that he had the grand and ropu-
lar veteran, Joe Judge, in his path
Tor the regular first base position
with his new club. Try as he
might, he could not ouSt the easy
playing field captain from the
picture because Joe was always
considered first and naturally.
Job All His
But this year Kuhel will go to
Biloxi with the knowledge that
he'll not have to fight anybody
tor the position-that the job will
be his and his alone, and it'll be
his own fault if he does not make
the grade and hold up his end
well.
1t is with this knowledge, then,
that'll inspire Kuhel to become
one of the livelieSt individuals in
camp. The youngSter really gives
his all to the game-alwayS has
and the fact that he's down" to
take care of first base regularly
for the Griffmen during 1888
gives club officials thoughts that
he'll show the way in liveliness
among his mates.
Kuhel turned in some excellent
work at bat for the Griffmen last
season when all is considered. He
finished the campaign with an
average of .291. Had he been in
the game regularly from the start
his mark might have scared well
over the 300 class, but as fate
would have it, Judge was the
teams regular first sacker during
the first two months. 's
Poor Pinch Hitter
While sitting on the bench
waiting for his chance to play
regularly, Kuhel was sent to the
plate 13 times as a pinch hitter.
Being cold" he was unable to
conect even once. These pinch
hitting instances pulled down his
record when the averages we're
figured at the end of the season.
Wiping 'em off and Kuhers mark
would have been 300 or more
easily as the youngster surely
Travelled at a torrid clip, once
planted at first base regularly.
That PreXy Clark Griffith and
Manager Joe Cronin think a
great deal of Kuhel can be taken
from the fact that they let Har-
ley Boss, Chattanooga star, go
to the Cleveland Indians in that
now famous trade for Pitcher
Jack Russell and Bruce Connat-
ser, rookie first baseman.
And even Connatser is not
with the club now, he having
been sent to Chattanooga on
option. So it seems Kuhel is ex-
pected to fill the bill in fine
style for the Griffmen this year
and isn't this every reason why
the youngster should be the live
liest individual in spring train
ing camp? Well let Kuher5

When the fourth annual
Southpaw Duckpin Sweepstakes
gets underway at Georgetown
Recreation at 8 o'clock Saturday
night, there will be several widely
known wrong -siders" who had
little reputation when the test
was rolled last year.
Perhaps, the most outstanding
of this group is Bob Shanklin.
Bob jumped into the spotlight at
the tail end of last season when
he rolled 429 in his debut in the
National Capital League with
Barnes Auto.
This year he is burning up the
Bethesda drives as the pace
setter with a 118 average for the
leading Star Service team. Shank
lin also has fine averages in
several other circuits.
Ed Schlegel is another south.
paw who has gone to Inc front
in recent times. His biggest
achievement was finishing sec.
ond to AL Work for the couthpaw
crown last year. Since then
Ed has chalked up brilliant
scores on occasions. He has fair
league averages, but does his best
work in special events.
Rhodes Attracts
Red" Rhodes. fiery headed
doubles partner of "Ouncie" Har.
rison, is another portsloer who
is cutting a wide swath. Red is
walloping the naples at splen-
did clip in the Columbia Heights

the diminutive pins fall in i'm
