STAKES LISTED
At BALTIMORE

Baltimore which is threatening
Washington's duckpin supremacy
is making another bid for national
honors with the Inauguration Of
the Chesapeake Sweepstakes, Feb
ruary 18, under the sponsorship
of the Baltimore Post.
The new duckpin event for wo-
men is modelled after The Wash
ington' Times Ladies Dixie Sweep
stakes which drew Al entries last
Saturday. The entry fee is the
same as the Dixie, $3.50.
Instead of nine games like the
Dixie, the Chesapeake will be a
1O-game affair. Like The Times
stakes, though, all of the games
will be rolled in one day, making
the first time a woman's major
tournament has seen a five-game
block rolled. A guaranteed first
prize of $1OO in addition to the
Post trophy is also offered. A
huge field, most of whom COM
peted in The Times tournament,
will roll.
With his bad teeth out, Paul
Harrison is beginning to look like
himself again. In the Columbia
Heights League, Harrison rolled a
387. Nick Chaconas had high
game of 146.
Mcclure and Rolf, by virtue of
Highway Engineers postponement
took the lead in the league when
they won three games last. night
at the Arcadia. Pete and Louis
which also won three games,
moved up to the runner-up berth.

Bob Barnett, Chevy Chase pro,

round Of the pro four-ball tourna-
ment proceeded at Miami. Barnett
and his partner, Russell Stone

the dazzling shooting Of Joe
Turnesa and Phil Perkins, and 2.
Was Sensational
TurneSa carded a sensational
65, seven under par, to cause his
brother pros much thought. All
told, he nabbed two eagles and
six brides, going over par only
on the short eleventh, where he
missed the green with his tee
shot.
Richard p. Davidson, of Chevy
Chase Club, seems destined to be
a co-holder of the st. Valentines
tournament laurels, at Pinehurst.
He's paired with George T. Dun
lap, jr., of New York who hap
pens to be national amateur
champion, and who is almost in
vincible on the Pinehurst sand
greens. Dunlap and Davidson de-
feated j. S. Musser, Akron, Ohio,
and E. L. Scofield, of New York,

ball of 81.

Washington Golf and Country
Club yesterday, Houghton having
the low individual score with r.,
two above par.
Frank Emmett, who works as
a liason between the local press
and Georgetown Prep, may be
named to handle an inter.
scholastic golf championship,
which will have the sanction of
the District Golf Association.
Emmett and DR.. Bruce L. Taylor,
member Of the executive COM

on the proposition.

RANGERS SCORE
IN 400THGANE

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Ths
New York Rangers four hun
dredth game has come and gone
gone into the records Of the
National Hockey League as q
5-to-2 victory over the Ottawa
Senators.
The players who have been
with the team since it was Or
ganized in 1925 received diamond
rings from Madison Square Gar
den. They are Bill and Bun
Cook, Frank Boucher, ching
Johnson, Murray Murdoch, Man
ager Les Patrick and Trainer
Harry Westerly. Murdoch, who
has not missed one Of the 400
games, received a great ovation
from the crowd.
The Washington times., 1934-01-24

Crowded houses now happen
around here with disconcerting
infrequency. In fact, the only
one that New York boxing has
hitherto known about for the last
few years is the county Jail, but
that was before the boxing war"
started.
The Opening Shot
The Ross-Petrolle fight tonight
will be only the opening gun OF
hoStilitieS. The real broadside
will be fired when James Archl-
bald McLarin comes in here to
fight the winner for the welter-
weight championship Of the
world. BY that time Madison
Square Garden might by totter-
ing on its pedestal, if it had a
pedestal. It's only been using
the one it had for a footrest,
any how.
Meantime, Ross and Petrolle,
who weren't wanted at the gar
den, will play tonight to 100000,
which is doing it the difficult
way. The fight will be held so
far up in the Bronx that Petrolle
is liable to exceed the age limit
before he gets there.
The old limited has been run
ming behind time for the last year
or two and he plods and puffs a
little on the grades now. But he's
coming in at 142 pounds, as
against the haggard 1873 he had
to do for Ross in Chicago last
year, and maybe he has a real
chance. But the odds of Z to 5
say he hasn't, it being figured
that the five extra pounds he'll
pull on the scales are as nothing
compared to the weight Of five
extra years.
Suffers DelusiOnS
However, he's only % and he
still thinks he can lick McLarnin
if he can ever hit him again,
which only goes to show what de-
lusions will do to an otherwise
sensible man. He'll never clip
McLarnin again; he won't even
get close enough to hit him with
a loud punch.
Ross, having beaten Canzoneri
twice, naturally wants to go into
the class above because its cham
pion is a man who puts every
body in the money. He also
leaves them on the floor and his
speciality is lightweightS Of Jew
ish extraction. However, every
body to their own taste. Ross
thinks he can beat McLarnin; so
does Petrolle and they're going
in there tonight with the idea of
proving who's the right man for
the job.
Personally, I think they're both

HILLTOP WAITS
WORDFROMMD.

II the University Of Maryland
athletic board rejected George
town University'S overture for a
football game this fall, George
town does not know anything of
the rejection, H. Gabriel Murphy
graduate manager of athletics at
the Hilltop, said today.
AS far as Georgetown is con-
cerned, Murphy added, the pro-
posed contest is still unsettled.
Georgetown, officially, has not
heard from the Old Line school,
since negotiations were opened
six weeks ago by Murphy, and
H. c. (Curly) Byrd, vice presi-
dent and athletic director Of
Maryland.
DR.. Raymond A. Pearson, preSi-
dent Of University Of Maryland,
in the absence Of Byrd, could
not further enlighten The Times
on the matter. DR.. Pearson stated
such matters rested entirely with
the athletic board, which was
allowed a free rein.
According to one unofficial re-
port, Maryland's athletic board,
by a vote of four to one, rejected
the proposition. The one vote for
the game was supposed to have
been cast by Byrd. Another I'M
official report claimed Maryland
was withholding its answer until
after another meeting Of the ath-
letic board, at which time another
vote on the matter would be
taken.

CLASSIC RACE.
HAS TOUGH
COURSE
Ry HARRY COSTELLO


Grand National history is in,
Eeresting, not alone to breeders
Of hunters, but as well to race
goers and to those who have
ven for subscribing to Sweeps.
In answer to number OF
queries, I. am putting together,
in a series of four stories, vari-
Gus facts pertaining to this great
steeplechaSe, the blue ribbon
classic of chasing.
The Grand National this year
win be run on March %. at
Aintree, near Liverpool. This his
torical race was first run at
Maghull in 1887 as weight for
age event.
4-MiIe Event
The chase is at four miles.
S56 yards over a jumping course.
There are 16 jumps on the first
circuit, and IA on the second.
The third, fourth, fifth, tenth,
eleventh and twelfth are thorn
fences, and these are jumped
twice in the race.
The most difficult obstacles
are Becher's Brook, Valentines
Brook, the Open Ditch and the
Water Jump.
Becher's is the sixth and twen-
ty.second. It is a thorn fence,
5 feet high, and 3 feet inches
wide, the drop from this fence
being 6 feet, with a natural
brook on the far side. 5 feet 6
inches wide.
Valentines Brook is the ninth
and twenty-fifth. It is almost
the same as Becher'S, except that
the height is only 4 feet II
inches and the width Is only 3
feet.
The Open Ditch is jumped only
once, on the first time around.
It is rated the greatest obstacle
Of all, for it is 5 feet 2 inches
high and 3 feet 9 inches wide,
with a ditch 6 feet wide on the
take-off side.
The Water Jump is the six
teenth obstacle. It is Is feet
wide with a fence 2 feet 6 inches
high Of the same width.
Only Twice in Row
Only twice has the Grand
National been won in successive
yearS-by Abd-el-Kader, in 1850
and 1851, and by The Colonel, in
1869 and 1870.
Poethlyn won in 1919, and the
substitute, War National, in 1918.
The only other winners of more
than one Grand National were
The Lamb, who came home in
front in 1868 and 1871, and
Manifesto, who won in 1897 and
1899. Manifesto finished third
in 1900, 1902 and 1908.
The record for the Grand
National is 8 minutes % Sec
ondS. This mark was estab-
liShed by last years runner.
Kellsboro Jack, owned by the
American, Mrs. Ambrose Clark.
He was 25-to-1 shot.
The best previous mark was
9:32 as, by Grakle, in 1881.
Germany, Spain. France. Italy
and the United States, among
other countries, have sent their
best jumpers to the Grand Ma
tional, but in practically every
instance these noted entries have
been defeated, motsly by Irish
bredS, who have won 80 per cent
Of the premier honors since the
Grand National was instituted
back In 1887.

Most Of them, he said, were
protesting wage cuts of from is
to 20 per cent, which in. some
cases, it was reported, amount
to more than $4,000 a year in
dollars and cents.
Harder Gets Boost
Foremost among the prospec-
tive holdoutS is Mel Harder, one
Of the chosen few who have been
offered a wage boost. Harder,
it was reported, drew $1,000 last
year and has been offered an
increase of $1,500 but thinks his
services as one of the American
eague'S outstanding young
hurlers Is worth a lot more,
Evans, according to other
rumorS, also was having "hold-
out" trouble with Earl Averill.
The latter was reported to have
received $4,000 in 1888 and it
was believed that he had been
asked to accept a Is per cent
cut.
Lot Of Dickering
It appeared probable, too,
Evans would be forced to do lot
Of dickering with Pitchers Wes-
ley Farrell and Willis Hudlin.
The latter desires a bonus clause
calling for $100 extra If he wins
more than 18 games and another
$1,000 if he wins 20 games, which
he never has in one season.
Also, he is believed to have re-
fused to accept a cut in his
salary reported to be in excess
Of $4,000 year.
