,KEYSER To A|D'FLY|NG tackle
CENTRAL NINE D. K. FOR MAC

A rapid succession Of flying
tackles denied him in his losing
stand against Hans Kampfer in
Philadelphia recently will be
adopted by Jim Mcmillan at the
Washington Auditorium Thursday
night.
Handcuffed in Pennsylvania
and New York due to the barring
of his tackle, Mcmillan neverthe-
less will be permitted it's full
use here.
Insisting that his is the only
clean-cut tackle in the wrestling
game today and that he already
has sought it's legalization in
States where it now is banned,
the ex-Illinois footballer declares
that his attack will be fortified
some IS per cent as a result Of
the okay tagged on his speciality.
He further announces that his
flying dynamite should completely
bewilder Kampfer, who generally
resorts to straightaway wrestling
and power holds.

HOYAS ENGAGE.
v. { |. NINE

Georgetown University's crack
baseball team furnishes the action
in collegiate circles today by en-
tertaining the Washington and
Lee nine at the Hilltop at $3.50
o'clock.
The Generals sojourned at
College Park yesterday and were
handed a defeat by University of
Maryland in a 13-to-9 game.
The Virginia boys scored five
runs in the first inning off Steve
Physioc, Maryland hurler, and
led until the seventh inning when
the Old Liners put on a rally of
six runs which put them into the
lead.
Later, Maryland scored two
more markers to win by the Is
to 9 score. Ralph Ruble became
the winning Maryland hurler. He
relieved Physioc in the fourth.
The victory marked Ruble'S
fourth In the Southern Conference
play.
Also the triumph marked the
sixth for Maryland in seven starts
in the Conference. Maryland
now stands half a game behind
Duke and a game behind North
Carolina for first place.
Petite and Painter were the
Washington and Lee hurlers
yesterday, both being hit freely aS

Frank Shields, the No. l rank
ing player of the United States.
whose appearance on the Chevy
Chase Clubs courts last week in
the invitation doubles tourna-
ment made the feminine hearts
beat just wee bit faster, believes
it, even though his mouth has
been somewhat muZzled by a rul-
ing of the cup committee which
forbids team members from be-
coming prophets.
Best Chance in Years
After first expressing the
startling opinion the best team
would win, the handsome New
Yorker said the American team
should have its best chance in
years. He says:
"LOOk at the records and
you'll see our players have al
ways made good ShOwingS on
the grass courts at Wimbledon.
There's no reason to believe this
year will be any different than
the others when it comes to
grass courts"
Watson Washburn, who ranked
with the best a few years back, is
another who looks for victory by
the American forces. Washburn
is not the type of person to talk
without considerable thought, as
his record at Harvard, where he
had a four-year average of "A"
in all his subjects, would indicate.
He said:
II feel very optimistic about
our outlook. The food and ell
mate in England seem to agree
with our players and they do
unusually well on grass courts"
:; Met Them All
Having competed against Til
den and Johnston, as well as
Shields, Stoefen, Van Ryn and Al
1ison, Washburn is in a good posi-
ton to compare the players of to-
day with those of the past.
In his opinion there are more
good players today than there
used to be but none can compare
with big Bill" or Little Bill"
Watching Allison when he
turned his ankle, Saturday, Wash
burn recalled a day two years ago
when he broke his ankle in the
same Sor. OF an accident. He was
out for the season, whereas ALI
son hopes to be back in time for
the Davis Cup matches.

1t, therefore, will interest some
people pleasantly and others a lit
tie poignantly that Mrs. Isabel
Dodge Sloane and her trainer, Bob
Smith, have decided upon a bold
course with their pair Of star
three-year-olds.
One of them, Cavalcade, winner
Of the Kentucky Derby, is to be
sent out to dominate the West;
the other. High Quest, will be
given the Eastern territory, much
as a sales manager might decide
to reward a young and promising
staff member. And between them,
they may run up a total Of $780,
900 before the close Of the racing
year.
In American Derby
Cavalcade, for instance, will 60
in the, American Derby at Chicago
in early June, the Detroit Derby
in late June, the Arlington Classic
and the Latonia Championship.
They expect him to gross better
than 100000, which, at the pres
ent rate Of exchange, compares
pretty favorably with Gallant
Fox's one-year record Of $500 900
and the $376,000 lifetime showing
of Sun Beau.

Garden bowl defeated, he will

His future Is in his own

Corn Country Idol
Of the two fights-Carnera
VS.. Baer and Ross VS.. McLar-
nin-the Middle West seems at
this time to be most interested
in the latter. One reason natu-
rally is that it is now only
three weeks away. Another is
that Ross is the idol Of the
corn country. All the Chicago
crowd at the Derby wanted to
know what we thought of his
chances against McLarnin and
when we told them we thought
McLarnin would knock him out,
they invariably shook their
heads in pity over our stupidity.
They seem to think the match
is just as soft q touch for the
young and ambitious Ross as
some Of us think it is for the
veteran welterweiSht champion.
Maybe both camps are wrong.
It may well prove to be a tough
battle for both. In any case,
the Midwest is going to be well
represented at the ringside. At
least dozen people from that
section promised to see us the
night of the fight.
We bumped into Andy Cohen
in front of the Kentucky Hotel
one night last week. You re.

the Jewish lad who set the town

seasons back by stepping into

LOUe ReGrS Its Head
AneIU For Max BGer
As the Silver Blond

NEW YORK, May 8.-Love
seems to have raised its dizzy
head in our set during the alb
/ sence in Kentucky and I am
unreliably informed that no
sooner will Miss Jean Harlow,
the silver blonde of Beverly
Hills, be freed of her current
matrimonial chains, than she
will take the orange blossom pa.
rade with Make Baer.
This may prove to be a better
match than the one with Primo
Camera, though there is always
the possibility that he would
last longer with De Preem. You
know how it Is with matrimony
out there in the Old West, such
as Hollywood and Reno. Out
there it is quick on the trigger.
It was my understanding and
from his own lips, too, that Mr..
Baer had foresworn Cupid on
the ground that he was a dan
gerous little devil, leading only
in the direction of the divorce
courts, breach Of promise &C.
tions, and the grave. But since
the Livermore Lothario contin-
ueS to have rain in his heart
and smoke in his eyes, there
certainly is no more dazzling
partner in sight for him than
the belle of M. G. M.
Must Beat Primo
The chances are, however,
that Make will not win La
Harlow unless he can success
fully dispose of Camera next
month and thereby become
heavyweight champion of the
world. Baer hasn't yet found
it out, but his popularity and
fame are based on the belief
that he is potentially great
prizefighter. True he is a
handsome hombre. So are quite
a lot of other gents whom the
public does not follow through
the streets. Nor will it follow
Make once the fact that he is
a second rater is disclosed-if
he is a second rater.
The public wants no part of
q second rater regardless of
how he looks. Baer at his hand
soonest was never as good
looking as the ill-fated young
Stribling. But the Adonis of
Georgia never reached the top
nor a place in the hearts of
the public. He had some meas
ure of local fame through the
South. That was all.
If Boer comes over the man
mountain on the night of June
IA, the world will be before
him. If he doesn't, let him
take my word for it now that
he already has reached the
high point of his career, from a

standpoint. If he walks down

Mr.. Neal also informed me that

that Mr.. McGavock will then step in,
kick me out, and take it away from
me.
At this point I would like to in
quire just how Mrs. Eliza Edwards,
far out in Boley, Oklahoma, knew the
name of the sheriff of this county,
Mr.. John P. Wall, as shown by the
telegram purporting to have been
sent by her to Neal Funeral Home,
and which telegram Mr.. Neal had
printed in his statement. Evidently
some interested person here supplied
the information.
Ever since I have been in business,
every time / have had the remains of
a person, Mr.. Neal has tried in some
way to get them away from me. In
a number Of instances, after had
the body, he called up local relatives
of the deceased and tried to persuade
them to change their minds. In one
instance, he called at a home as early
as five o'clock A. M.
Friends of the deceased had planned
to hold brief services over the re-
mains, before shipment, in the church
in which she had worshipped and
which she loved so well. understand
that no services whatever were held
and that Mr.. Neal merely shipped the
body away. "
Now, as to the so-called "contro-
versy," as far as I was concerned,
there was none. If there was any
controversy, I did not take the initi-
alive. Furthermore, I did not take
any steps to resist the court action
in order to re-take the body because
I have too much respect for the de-
ceased and for the bereaved relatives
of the deceased to engage in any
such conduct which, to say the least,
I consider beneath my dignity.
