none in this territory.
Harry has won most every

he was the last Washingtonian
to capture the Middle Atlantic
title, beating Johnny Shorey in
the 1928 final at the Congress

Besides, Pitt has thrice won

in this section.

vitation, though appearing in
all the local tournaments.
Pitt comes by his golfing
ability quite naturally. He first
learned the game as a caddy
when the Columbia Country
Club was located on Georgia
Avenue in Brightwood. His next
step was the local public links
from whence he was graduated
into the club ranks where his
game ripened.
Harry might be taking things
easy until next months ma.
tional qualifying rounds at the
Indian Spring Country Club.
That's the one event, and most
coveted, in which Harry has
been an absolute failure. He
has taken part in but one
amateur championship, failing
to qualify for the match play

I am extremely sorry to find
this attitude existing in the

made some inquiry as to the
possibility of Washington some
time becoming the scene Of this
outstanding mid-year baseball
exhibition, which is held under
such deserving auspices as the
interests of the sick, INDECENT,

I am, too, a little chagrined
that the baseball moguls take
such a short-sighted and mar
row viewpoint of this game.
even if it does affect their gate
receipts ever so slightly in the
days Immediately before and
following these games.
1 am sorry they are not
broad enough to consider that
the men who benefit from this
game are the ones who have
builded the II big league parks
in this country.
They are the men who have
carved the name Of baseball
across this continent; yes, and
left it's imprint on other con-
tinentS as we'll.
They are not the Ruths and

and smiled the smile of a beaten
man trying to laugh off threat

AS he retreated from my left
hooks that landed on face and
body, I loaded the right but
Baer kept at a distance. I didn't
want to give all I had because
Gould begged me to feel him out
in the first two rounds. In the

he was splitting blood. A special

Baer expected me to continue
the left-hand attack in the fourth
but 1 crossed him and shot hard
rights under the heart. He was
spending most of his time laugh
ing, trying to get my goat or
show off to the crowd as he did
with Camera.

Gould called my attention as
1 saw Baer in a head down

fourth rounds.

Baer began to use the right
uppercut with effect in the fifth.
He shook me with three of them,
one of which landed flush on the
nose and split it inside. My ex-
pert handlers went to work on it
the moment 1 reached my stool
and repaired it in good shape. 1
am not a bleeder, hence I did
not spill much blood.
Baer Clumsy
I must have sized up the first
four rounds okay, because the next
day, one of the papers reported:
Fans were wondering where
was the One-round, one-punch
finisher that Baer was supposed
to be. Actually, he looked
clumsy, a poor excuse for a
champion in those first four
rounds. He snapped out of his
lethargy long enough in the
fifth to engage in a short lively
exchange which was halted
when the referee warned him
for an accidental back-hand
blow that is barred in rings"
McEvoy notified the judges that
he had penalized Baer for his
back-hand blow. Gould told me 1
had won the round anyway.
I jabbed him repeatedly with
long lefts in the sixth and Max
missed by city blocks with his
roundhouse rights. He leaped in
with a right uppercut. He tried
another but missed, and then I
put a left and right to the jaw
without a return.
AS the seventh began, felt a
bit tired. A right on the jaw
Jared me from the soles of my
feet to my head. I think it was
Baer's best punch of the battle.
But I didn't take a back step and
kept pumping lefts into the face.
Two rights on the mouth put Baer
back in his place. I could hear
the roar of the crowd as the round
ended. In the meanwhile John
ston was walking back and forth
to my corner urging me to "belt
him out" knock him out" che
