GALLAGHER Sc 7
FOR GALENTO
TONIGHT

Heavyweight boxing interest in
so-far as Washington is concerned
will shift from Long Island Bowl
to Griffith Stadium tonight
when Marty Gallagher Che Of
the granite chin and stout heart)
defies the slugging powers of
titanic Tony Galento, murderous
punching Orange, N. j., Italian
in the 1O-round feature of a
scheduled 40-round card.
Pitted against one of the most
murderous wallopers of this era
Foggy Bottoms fighting Irishman
will be put to the severest test Of
his career locally when he
answers the opening bell, Tony's
prowess as a rapid fire knocker-
out far over-shadowing Gallagher'S
conceded ability to "take it,"
Memories of a one-round knock
out administered Donald (Red)
Barry and a two-round sleep
producer scored over Matte Brown
(both conquerors of Martyr may
haunt the gallant Gallagher.
Ninth Ranking
Now ninth ranking among the
worlds heavyweights Barry was
belted out by the massive Italian
in a flat minute and 40 seconds,
a veritable deluge of round
house punches flattening him to
the resin in a hurry.
Gallagher nevertheless figures
to go to the post in the finest
physical trim of his career to-
night.
Slim WASTED and expected to
scale in at no better than 200
pounds, Marty stacks up against
a veritable mammal in the -215-
pound Galento who matches a
squat five foot nine inches against
Gallagher's majestic six feet two.
Crack PreIims
A crack supporting lineup is
headlined by the eight round
semifinal in which ringside Les
Kennedy, crafty Alexandria heavy
weight, mingles with graceful
George Pavlick, hit of last weeks
show. Cary Wright pairs with
Jack Donnelly in another eight.
Two six FOUNDERS route Roy
Manley VS.. Bob Lowry and Pete
Galiano VS.. Buddy Grimes, while
an opening four to be announced
at the ringside will ring up the
curtain at $3.50.

DETTWE|LER 7
TO PRESS
VETERAN

Four Of 'em are left in the
running: Ernie Caldwell, Hillen-
dale, Baltimore; Billy Dettweiler,
Congressional: Spencer Overton,
Hillendale, and Johnny Drain, of
Atlanta, Ga. Out of this quartet
will come Columbia Country
Clubs 1884 invitational cham
pion. ...-...
Upsets marked yesterdays first
and quarter-final rounds Of the
tourney which drew a record
field of more than 500 golfers.
In yesterdays play, it was
case of youth defeated, youth
victorious, and no less than three
colorful players-Harry G. Pitt,
Roger Peacock and George Mol
10y, public linkser-going the
way Of the defeated.
First of all, Pitt, veteran links
man, bowled over the hero OF
Washington's public players, Mol
10y, only to find Dettweiler, a
second youth, too clever for him.
Beats MoIlOy
Pitt won over Motley, 2 and l,
but lost to Dettweiler, up 10
holes. In this latter match it
seemed that the cagy and vet
eran player, Pitt, would win, but
youth, in the person of Dett-
weller. came through with flying
colors.
Roger Peacock, another vet
eran of the links wars, in his
first match romped away from
j. w. Harvey, jr., and z, only
to stalk into defeat at the hands
Of Drain, up.
The daring of youth won for
Dettweiler his match against the
veteran, Pitt. On the extra hole,
after Pitt had valiantly tried
for, but missed, a 15-foot putt
for the victory, it appeared that
young Dettweiler was doomed.
His drive found an ugly spot
which placed him in the position
Of being stymied by a tree.
Young Dettweiler, however, took
a chance and played a sensa-
tional shot, over the tree, leaving
him a 25-footer. Pitt, after that
one by Dettweiler, pushed his
second over the green and into
a trap. He played a nice out
from the trap, but missed his
putt for a halve of the hole, and
the match was over.
Breezes Through
Caldwell, medalist, just breezed
into the Semifinal round. He
played careful, cagy golf to
defeat Hickman Greene, of Ar.
gyle, 4 and 3, and w. B. Mason,
jr., of Chevy Chase, Z and 6.
Caldwell to date looks the class,
and is hot favorite to win.
In arriving into the Semifinal
round, Overton first conquered
Frank Weller, Columbia, 2 and /,
and then tackled a defeat onto
John F. Brawner, also of Colum-
bia, and /.
Today's Dettweiler Caldwell
bout should be a hummer, but
the other, involving Overton and
Drain, may prove even better.

Of a spill, it means just another
ducking to be laughed off.
Most canoe accidents occur at
outings and picnicS. Seems as
though when in the holiday mood
we will take chances, even the
most timid person can sometimes
be coaxed into this frail craft,
where a spill is almost certain to
prove disastrous.
Don't Overload Canoe
Never overload a canoe beyond
its safe capacity. The height of
toolhardineSS is the man that will
rent a canoe at an outing and
take the entire family, which may
include several children, for a
ride. What chance would these
children have if the canoe cap
sized? A strong swimmer may be
able to take care of one, maybe
two, but what would become of
the rest? It is much safer to di-
vide into smaller groups and take
them out in separate trips.

FIGHTERS SHY
FROM SERODY

Goldie Ahearn, Riding and
Hunt Club matchmaker, is facing
the greatest headache of his
matchmaking career today in at
tempting to secure an opponent
for the flashy Harry Serody, of
Philadelphia.
Serody's name has loosened
fear in the lightweight ranks. His
record is making the boys quake.
Max Hoff's young Jewish cham
pionship prospect has knocked
out % men in 38 fights, his pro-
fesSional quota. He has hung up
13 victories, drew on two occa-
sions and has never lost a battle.
That makes his batting average
a nifty 600.
Serody has whipped Lew Field
man and Johnny Jadick, knocked
out Buster Brown and Joey Click.
Toppled plenty of run-of mine
fighters and has long array of
cups emblematic of titles won
while he was an amateur.

For Primo did some fighting,
too. There were times when
Baer's handsome, sable :hatched
head seemed fairly impaled on
that sharp, jolting left hand.
Times when it looked as though
Baer might be ti-ing, and that
the big man from Italy might
still come on to bcx bis way
through the is rounds and q
possible triumph.
But just when you thought
maybe Baer had shUt his bolt,
that he had fought himself out
against the hulking giant be-
fore him, back he would come
tearing to knock Primo down
again and send him teetering
and reelng back to his corner at
the bell.
How he would explode that
bone-breaking right against the
Ambling Alps topmost peak.
How he would dig it into that
broad inviting target of a body
until, just sitting there at the
ringside, you shuddered and
were half afraid to look for
feer it had come clean through
Primo's body.
What punches! Crash! Bong!
Pow! No wonder the stricken
Primo sometimes turned his
back and ran away from that
grInning devil, who spread his
lips in a gargoyle grin, and said
In action. if not words:
"HOw do you like it, big bOy?"
No wonder there was a great
welt alongside the sad, pale
eyes Of the bewildered man from
MuSSolini'S peninsula. No won
der he looked pitifully and vainly
toward his corner, as if for help
that he needed direly, but did
not expect get.
Need Not Be Ashamed
You felt sorry for him in his
beaten bewilderment in those mo-
ments and rooted for Baer to
bring across the clincher and
end it mercifully and quickly.
You were glad to see the heavy
weight title coming back to the
United States and glad to see
such a colorful figure of a man
as the clouting Californian
bringing it back. But you did
not want to see Primo punished
in the process.
Some may say that Camera
showed a lack Of gameness in
quitting. Don't believe it. He
took it longer and better and
oftener than many another man
would.
So Baer was sick and a bum,
eh?
Well, if he was sick I hope I
never get well. And if he is a
bum. as modern heavyweights
go, I want to go see the buns
fight all the time.
Yes sir, the body of Bill
Browns fighter lies aching
meath the sheets this morning,
and I wonder where the pep
perry, fiery, gray.haired boxing
commissioner is going to take
that little dip in the ocean he
promised to indulge himself if
Baer beat Camera?
Real New Deal Champ
= So we come up this morning
with a new heavyweight cham
pion of the world. A corker. A
natural. A game one. A hit
ter. A truly remarkable bird
he does so many things exceed
ingly well. A fellow with almost
everything his idol-Jack Demp-
Sey-had when he started. and
some things Jack didn't have.
If he is sensible he should
last long time and be a great
champion. The world is still
before him and he is champion
Of the world.
Once more I Say-Terrific,
colossal, sensational.
What man!
The Washington times., 1934-06-15

! NEW YORK, June 15.-The
sick man Of California got we'll
with q bang.
! His maroon red gloves crash
ing and roaring like an artillery
barrage along the Marne, Max
Baer, the Livermore assassin,
Slashed his way past the pom
derouS bulk Of Primo Camera
to the heavyweight champion
ship Of the world in the Garden
Bowl, Long Island City, last
night.
The end, practically inevitable
from the fiEst round when Baer
sent Primo thudding against the
ring boards with a man-murder-
ing right and had him looking
for q gate in the ropes, came in
the eleventh with Primo still on
his feet.
But he was q beaten cham
pion, then-beaten, battered
bloodied and through. To those
around the ringside it looked as
though he acknowledged this to
Referee Arthur Donovan, when
he turned his smeared and pain
distorted face and grunted an
untintelligible word or two.
Watching his lips and in a
position to see, it seemed to me
that he said:
II cant 60 on.
But in his dressing room Car
nera vigorously denied this, and
Donovan said he did not know
exactly what the beaten man
had said. He only knew he was
beaten. More than $4,000 per-
sons, who had paid $425, 900 to
sit In on the most savage thrill
: ing, primal battle since Demp-
sey and Firpo, knew it. too. So
did Primo. His manager, his
corner and all the world.
No Doubt About It
! There was no doubt about this
one. Baer was Dempsey with
curly hair. Baer was curly
wolf. A clown, eh? A sick man,
eh? Well, he was a clown IN
whom there was no humor, but
only the curled Sneer of the born
killer.
A clown who ripped and tore
and SlaShed in brutal spurtS OF
fighting such as no prize ring in
years has seen, or may see again
for many a day.
Only q mountain man such as
Camera with 263 perfectly
trained pounds Of bone and
muscle on him could have with
stood even one such devastating
furry, much less a score. Only a
Camera could have been down
from ten to a dozen times only
to stagger back to the vertical
swaying like a mighty oak about
to collapse in the vortex OF a
cyclone.
There were moments when
It. looked as though the mas
todonic Sequals steer stayed
on his feet only because they
were too large for him to
topple off them, as a tree with
deep roots stands without visi-
BILE support.
From the minute he made
his grand entrance in his NOV
ing picture bathrobe, the one
he wore in 1.-THE Prize Fighter
and the Lady," Baer was the
actor.
Terrific, stupendous
He was the movie star in
the flesh and this was a movie
fight-terrific, colossal. stu
pendous, sensational!
But do not say this in a
Kidding way. In spots it was
O fight that was all but un-
beIevable. You had to rub
your eyes and pinch yourself
as you sat there in the soft
June darkness and watched
those two sunbrowned mighty
men mace and maui and beat
each other.

All women are interested in
preserving the natural beauty of
their skin. AS a leading Vien-
nese cosmet ici a n puts it:
Beauty today is not only a So
cial necessity, it is also bust
ness necessity" We need beauty
in this competitive world.
AS we pass Is years of age we
find that our skin grows duller,
shows less vitality and lacks that
clear transparency that makes
a young girl so fascinating. We
cleanse and nourish our skin,
we choose our makeup care
fully, but still it is difficult to
recapture that enchanting COM
plexion which we once had.
Skin beauty depends primarily
upon health. Once we fail to
keep physically perfect, our
minds free from worry and our
bodies free from strain, the I'M
DERIVING skin surface finds it
hard to combat the cares of age.
It is then we resort to local
treatment; to creams and To-
tions that supply, in part, what
the body is unable to give the
skin.
If a cream is actually success

called a "rejuvenating cream"
And some women who buy a re-

Whippet,Bred FOR
Racing, Knows
His Job
BY LIZ HUME

When young Fraulein Abel
held Won Boetticher, daughter
of the Military Attache of the
German Embassy and Frau Won
Boetticher, arrived in Washing
ton a few weeks ago she was
welcomed by the family pet,
Biche, a whippet.
The dog really belongs to Gen
eral Won Boetticher and came
over to the United States with
the general two years ago. This,
however, is Fraulein Adelheid's
first visit, so Biche will have
lots to tell her.
In Straight Line
The whippet is nothing more
or less than a miniature grey
hound. The breed was devel-
oped by golfers in the north of
England for rabbit coursing.
Later they were taught to race
and for years were known as
the "Workingman'S race horse"
The whippet, unlike the grey
hound, runs in a straight line
and against the field. He knows
his job is to beat the other dogs
and, glancing over his shoulder,
will extend or shorten his pace
when necessary.
The first whippet was proba-
bly, a cross between the grey
hound and white English ter
rier. They are the most grace
full and beautiful of little crea-
lures, as pretty as young faWnS.
The colors vary greatly and
may be white, black, red, brin-
ole, faWn blue and the various
combinations of each.
In selecting Whippet puppy
get one from two to four months
old. The points for which you
should look are those of the
greyhound in miniature, except
that less bone is required and
some fanciers perfer a little
more arch of loin. Both are cal
culated to give the Whippet
more speed if less staying power.
Easily Taught
Training the dogs to race is
simple. They race, almost, by
instinct. Have some one hold
the puppy on a leash on given
mark, stand away from him at
gradually frightening distances,
wave a handkerchief or rag and
call him to you.
In a professional race there
is, of course, a certain science
in getting your dog off to a
good start. In fact it developed
into such a science that many
owners of racing dogs objected
and now at the majority of
tracks they are released from
electric boxes. The usual course
is two hundred yards and the
dogs are handicapped according
to weight and previous perform
ance.
It is not necessary, however,
to make a racing dog out of
your whlppet. They are charm
ing little pets in themselves.
If you have a good picture of
your pet, Liz Hume invites you
to send it in for use in this col
umn. No pictures returned.
1t is also very probable that
some of your experiences would
be of interest and value to other
owners of pets. Address Liz
Hume, care of The Washington
Times.

The Rhymins
O ptimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS

BY AL1NE MAC1AELAS
Only From Afar
Often only from afar
Does a life seem poor,
Distance showing cares that
mar,
Griefs without a cure.
Yet the closer gaze discerns
Beauties scattered there,
AS the patient seeker learns
Of it's treasures fair.
Joyous sequences of love
Strangers can not guess;
Little, cherished hopes that
prove
Lies hid tenderness.
These are secrets unrevealed
To the casual glance;
But the dearest life may yield
Something of romance.
To that one who, drawing near,
Can appraise Alright
Trifles which the heart holds
dear,
Symbols of delight.
