FACE
TITLE CHANCE

That a washington entry may
be enrolled in Kansas City's an"
nual national amateur basket
ball tournament in March was
the prospect today. Should either
Scholls Cafemen or Boys Club
varsity walk away with 1884
South Atlantic A. A. U. tourney
laurels, it was announced today.
the District will be represented
in this competition for the first
time.
Heretofore homeless the Sholl'
men today had thrown open to
them for future use the Boys
Club facilities. Having COM
pleted arrangements with di'
rector Charles M. Fyfe, whereby
they hereafter will pair off with
the Boys Club varsity in the
staging of Sunday and possibly
week-night doubleheaders at the
Boys Club, the Cafemen here
after will confine their opposi.
ton exclusively to colleges ana
outstanding out-of- town amateur
organizations.
Confronted with the incentive
of entering national tourney play
in the event they successfully
defend their South Atlantic A. A.
u, unlimited honors, the Sholl-
men are to launch their new
athletic program at the Boys
Club this coming Sunday.

To SEE.
CORDOVANO

A new wrestling following will
be mustered at 'ringside Thurs
day night when Promoter Joe
Turner stages his weekly show at
the Washington Auditorium.
Looking in interestedly on the
proceedings will be hundreds Of
Georgetown University students
and alumni who will be on hand
to pay tribute to Sam Cordovano,
ex-Hoya gridiron great and line
coach of Lou Little'S renowned
Columbia Lions.
Credited with much of Colum-
bias success against Stanford in
Rose Bowl competition recently,
Cordovano resumes a highly prom
ising mat career after a lay-off
of several months. In doing so
he engages youthful and promis-
ing Sid Nabors in the main pre-
liminary to a double-header wind
up featuring Ernie Dusek VS.. Jim
C1instock and the Masked Marvel
VS.. Count Zarynoff.

D, {. AMATEURS
HAIL CHANGE

Every outstanding local amateur
golfer was in complete accord with
the decision of the fathers of the
game to elimina a tie qualifying
rounds in the national amateur
championship. The new scheme
calls for match play throughout
the tourney, but the sectional
qualifying rounds will still pre-
vail. However, the number Of
qualifiers has been raised to 180
eligibles as against $50, as for
merly.
Sandy Armour packed his duds
today, tossed 'em in the rear Of
his car and poked its nose towards
Boca Ration, Fla, where he will
join his brother, Tommy. The
golf shop at Congressional will be
managed by Claggett Stevens, Ar
mour's assistant, until the arrival
of the new Congressional pro, Ro-
land Mackenzie. The latter is
due to return here after the close
of the North-South open at Pine
hurst the latter part of March.
Gene Larkin, assistant pro at
Chevy Chase, is to depart 'tomor-
row. for the Highland Park Club,
Lake Wales, Fla, where he will
assume his duties as winter pro.
Elmer E. INLAY, jr., scored a
hole in one on the fourteenth hole,
1856 yards, at Beaver Dam yester-
day. He used a spade mashie.
Playing with him were Joe Adams,
Carroll Spencer and Jack Palmer.
Imlay's ace helped him to register
80, 36-75, matching his best
score over the Beaver Dam course.

P0RTNER BOUT
IS TOSS-UP

Looking at the first attractive
heavyweight fight with a skep-
tical eye, addicts were not willing
to establish favorite in the
Marty Gauagher-Dewey Kinney
meeting tomorrow night at Port
ner's Arena.
Dewey stripped for a workout
yesterday at Frank Mann's gym
and revealed a perfectly condi-
toned body. There wasn't an
ounce of flesh loose on his frame
and he realizes that this is his
big opportunity.
Gallagher was confident as he
finished his hard training grind
of a month at the Jewish Com
munity Center yesterday. He
worked IA rounds with Jim Nc
Namara, his trainer, driving him
every inch of the way. He will go
through some light exercises this
afternoon and then lay back for
the bell.
With Gallagher and Kinney in
the best of shape, chances of the
bout going the distance are at
least 2 to i. Marty is a good
catcher and Kinney is no slouch
when it comes to receiving. He
showed that in the Huttick en-
gagment when he took everything
the New Yorker had to come back
and floor him for a count of nine
in the seventh rounds
Matchmaker Frank Mann an
nounced today that he was trying
to get Red Barry to box Les Ken
nedy Tuesday, January 16. The
winner of that contest will prob
ably meet the winner Of the

is believed he has irons in the
fire with Boston and Cleveland
for a coaching job which he viii
close within the next month ol
so, maybe before that.
President Griffith, in announc'
ing Rice's release, paid high trlb'
ute to the veteran, in fact, sem
him a letter last night to climax
confabs held with Sam last week
The letter reads:
"Dear Friend Sam:
I'm pursuance of my CONVEX
satiOn with you in reference to
your baseball future, at which
time you expressed a desire to
be given permission to deal for
yourself in the event the Wash
ingtOn club desired not to fur
ther retain your services, wish
to say to you that the Washing
ton club is pleased to acquiesce
in your request, and hereby
grants you permission to deal
with any club that you see fit.
"Sam, it is with deep regret
that the time has arrived when
your service with the Washing
ton team is ended, but I hope
our personal friendship will
carry on for all time.
"'Old War Horse 1 have no
words that can express my deep
appreciation Of your wonderful
playing, loyalty to service and
the 100 per cent effort you put
into your work here for those
long 10 years you were with the
Washington club. You were
ready and willing to give your
best and oh, what that best
was! Sam, I consider you one
of the best ball players of all
time, and Washington fans and
myself are going to miss you,
but you can be assured that
wherever you go and whatever
you do, the hearts Of Washing
ton fans and myself will be
with you and pulling for your
success. Yours sincerely,
CLARK C. GRIFFITH"
This explains in full possibly
what couldn't be said properly ir
many more words. It remains
that Sam will be missed even more
than Griff states in his letter az
it's been one of the highlighss o1
each baseball season to see the
veteran trot out on the field tt
bat or play the outfield suca as
the case ruled.
Began in 1915
Everyone interested in the
Washington Baseball Club knows
Of Rice's record as a big Lacquer
Briefly, he came to the Griffmer
in 1915 from the Petersburg club
of the Virginia League. He was 9
pitcher then, but shortly after was
placed in the outfield because oi
his hitting ability.
He held down a regulars job un
til 1882 when he was carried as g
utility outfielder and pinch hitter
Last year Sam passed his forty
first birthday, but even at this h
displayed plenty of pep as per
former, which pep he hopes to con
tinue for the next two or three
years in the uniform of some othel
club either as an active player o.

Merchants Loyal

The merchants and others
went hook, line and sinker for
it. They are confident Miami,S
adopted boy, Joe Knight, will
be the next owner Of the title
now sported by Rosenbloom.
Yea, Joe Knight has COM
pletely captivated the imagina-
ton of both the winter and
summer neighbors of this play
world. He seems to have taken
up where w. L. young" Strlb-,
ling left off at the hour the
latter was fatally hurt in a
motor accident last September.
Knight is looked upon as the
pride of the South, and there
are those here who will tell
you he will not only NOW down
Rosenbloom, but that when
Joe is older and larger, Will
move right on UP into the
heavyweight division and reach
the top there as well. That
Is looking a long way ahead
1t occurs to this observer who
has always believed in that
reliable if somewhat old-fash-
ioned routine of fighting one
division at a time.
This Knight lad is still a
youngster and for years and
poundage has about as much
sock in his blows as most
fighters would care to stand up
against. His renowned wallop
is attributed locally to Rosen-
blooms evasiveness in giving
Joe a crack at the title.

fame, knight is being trained
by q very reliable handler,
Bill Care, the bloke who
trained Planting Phil Scott
for his Sharkey bout here, as
well as previously handling
Mike McTigue and Bill Bren-
nan for his Dempsey fight.
Knight has completely re-
covered from the sprained wrist
which handicapped him at
Twin City Arena when he lost
q decision last summer to Bob
Goodwin. Since then, here in
Miami, Knight has K. O.'d
Goodwin, the sleep punch COM
ing for PA" Godwin'S boy in
the fifth round at the Walter
Seeds American Legion Post
Arena, just off Biscayne Boule-
ward.
That brought the Goodwin
Knight series of eight fights
almost to a draw, what ad-
vantage there being belonging
to Goodwin who has four de-
cisions against Joe, whereas
Joe has two knockouts, a de-
ciSion and a draw on Goodwin.
Knight is expected to enter
the ring against Rosenbloom
at about I'll and Make will
be just under the 175-pound
limit, although Knight and
his manager do not intend to

Republican sympathizers are seek
ing to make the public believe that
business is bad, is. getting worse.
Democratic hackers are trying to
persuade it that business is recover
ing, that definite Improvement IS
taking place all the time. The
truth, as is so often the case, lies
between these extremes of opinion
Business is still suffering from the
summer decline, but in some fields
production is above what the nor
NAL seasonal expectancy would have
led us to expect. Prices for many
commodities seem fairly steady
those of agriculture, due to drought,
we'll up, and rising. Basic heavy in
dustries- notably steel and lumber,
are at the very low ebb, however.
Main fly in the ointment is still
labor trouble. The appeal made to
labor is that if it loses now, it's cause
will be set back century. On the
other hand, conservative leaders be-
lieve radicalism and trikes will
shake public confidence in organized
labor at this time-that meditation
is better than force.

STATES JOIN CAMPAIGN FOR
ROAD SAFETY

Forty-eight States of the union
and the District of Columbia have
joined to make September a model
month in traffic safety regulations.
! Governors of the States and the
board of commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia have issued proc
lamations calling on citizens and Of
fcials to make September demon
stration month of the safe use of
highways.
The only States not included are
Maine, Louisiana, Kentucky and Ok
lahoma.
Commerce Secretary Daniel Roper
F in his capacity as chairman of the
National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety, declared that every
effort must be put forth this Sep -em-
Der to reduce the country's loss of
life, pointing out that a large pro-
portion of 1t can be avoided.
President Roosevelt has declared
that the action of the governors Is
timely since the period of the year
in which the heaviest loss of life oc-
ours is now beginning.
The population of the A States
concerned in the program is "a per
cent of that of the entire country In
these States are registered 95 per
cent of the country's automobiles
and in them last year occurred 49,
900 deaths, from automobiles, near
ly 95 per cent of the total for the
