Getting the Best From Rice
One er the Most Successful Methods Is That of the

before an aSsemblage Of fans
totaling not over $500 in num-
Der, Barry outpunched and out
boxed the mellowed Les Kennedy
in a lively 10-round brawl last
night. Despite Barry'S over
whelming superiority. the bout
was thrilling and exceptionally
fast and far overshadowed the
Gallagher-Brown bout Of the
previous week.
Kennedy took but two rounds,
the first and fourth, wherein he
reached Barry repeatedly with a
quick left. Barry was the master
in every other round, however,
and only Kennedy'S ring craft
manship saved him from a
knockdown or knockout in the
closing heats. Both boxers scaled
1874 pounds, Kennedy firing rap

scored easily, while Boken counted

Thus Boken promises to be an

BOB'S TRIPLE.
IN PINCH IS

BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

BOSTON, April 19.-He hadn't
gathered a hit all spring. His
performances at bat, on the
whole, had been as weak as any
big league players could be. His
stock with the Washington club
had dropped considerably.
Yet, on his first assignment as .
pinch hitter in regular COMPETE
tion he crashed through with q
three base hit which scored two
runs and at the particular moment
put his team into the lead, 4 to 2.
AS you've probably guessed by
now, we're talking about none
other than Bob Boken, the guy
who made such a sensational
showing for the Griffmen last
year as a pinch hitter, pinch
fielder and pinch runner.
Manager Cronin played his per-
centage system again by using
Boken yesterday. The lad, he
knew, was due for base hit while

Revere was lightly campaigned
last year and was retired in mid
summer after winning a five and
one-half furlong sprint at Sara
toga, from a field of IL juveniles,
with 116 pounds in the saddle.
In his racing debut the colt ran
a powerful race to finish third
after a poor start. He closed a
world of ground and seemed to
favor q longer route.
Trainer James FitzSimmons had
the colt on the track last week
and startled owners and trainers
who witnessed the trial.
The colt, sent over the mile
route, stepped the distance in 1:43
over a track that was cuppy and
soft. He was merely breezing
throughout, and at no part Of the
journey was he asked to do his
best.
The colt is scheduled to make
his first appearance at Jamaica
next week, and then will be
shipped to Churchill Downs to
await the running Of the Derby

quoted at 40 to in the winter

Encouraging Signs
Over 10000 more baseball
fans saw the openings in two
major leagues last Tuesday,
than was the case on the first
day in the spring Of 1888. In
such a comparison club owners

a definite indication that the

D. C.. Boxing Bill
NOIO Up To President
Three Good Men

The signature of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt is all that
is needed to put Washington on
. plane with the majority Of the
remainder Of the United States
insofar as enjoying legalized
boxing is concerned.
The Hartley bill, originally an
amateur measure, but amended
and approved in conference so as
to embrace professional fight
ing as well, has been approved
by both the House and Senate
and now is awaiting the o. K.
Of the Chief Executive. There
has been nothing to indicate Mr..
Roosevelt will not sign the bill,
thereby making it a law.
Hartley and Black
Representatives Fred Hartley
and Loring M. Black have done
. splendid job in keeping be-
hind their respective proposals
until favorable action could be
achieved in Congress. It has
not been an easy job and their
roads have been heset with
many obstacles.
When the issue boiled itself
down to slight differences be-
tween their separate bills, each
yielded here and there along
the line, with the result that
gratifying results are about to
be realized.
That Washington is more
than ready to take charge Of
its own boxing matters is estab-
lisl1ed in the healthy interest
which has been shown here for
years in bouts staged in nearby
Maryland and Virginia, as well
as more distant points.
Amateurs Are Ready
Universities here are expected
to soon be able to add college
boxing to their profit-making
sports programs and the A. A.
u, long held back because of
local restrictions. is planning
to take q leading part in the
fostering Of amateur fighting.
It is hoped that the District
Commissioners will name a
fight commission soon enough
after the President signs the
measure, to permit an outdoor
campaign this summer.
A movement is already on
foot to stage boxing at the ball
park with Joe Turner as pro-
moter and frankie Mann as
matchmaker.
