PEACOCK LOOKS
T00PEN TESTS

Roger S. Peacock, Indian Spring
Country Club amateur, today was
in fine fettle for Mondays ma
tional open qualifying tests at the
Suburban Country Club in Balti-
more following his m h n g
lands victory over Harry G. Pitt,
Manor Club, in the Woodmont
Country Club invitation tourna-
ment golf final yesterday.
It was one of the worst golf de-
feats handed Pitt, but the latter
wasn't playing up to the Pitt
standard. Furthermore, Peacock
has played considerable golf this
year and given much time to prac-
tice.
Peacock was the steadier. tour
ing the Is holes in regulation fig
ures. He was never headed after
winning the second hole, and was
3 up turning for home. Then
Peacock copied four holes in a

with a birdie 3 on the thirteenth.
Peacock had more trouble with
Volney G. Burnett, clubmate, in
the semifinalS, being taken 81
holes before winning out. Bur
nett missed his second shot on
this hole, taking 5 to par 4
for Peacock. Pitt gained the final
with a / up decision over Hickman

a curling 15-footer on the home
hole for a par to win, Greene

FISHING
According to
IZAAK Walton

Angling for the elusive trout in
nearby Frederick county over
the weekend, were George B.
Horning, A. Blustein, Lieut.. Lad
die Clark, Charles Clagett, Charles
Mason and George Lewellin. Full
creels were not the rule by any
means, six being the highest on
the whole of Fishing Creek.
George Lewellin's 14-inch rainbow
was big fish, and, according to
him, was we'll worth the trip, al.
though it was cold and rained
most of Saturday afternoon and
Sunday. How about restocking,
Mr.. Powell?
Nearly as bad was the weather
on the Potomac near Chain
Bridge. The only difference was
that here the rain held off until
Monday, but there was little con-
ISOLATION in that because the cold
had been fairly successful in slow
ing down some mighty fine fish
ing, in fact it stopped the rock
off short. Until Thursday they
had been biting fine, over a hun
dred being caught during the
week.
Capt. Joe Fletcher says that the
big cats that have been hitting
the perch fishermen so hard, have
gone deep and will stay there un-
til we get several warm days. It
will also take the same thing to
bring the rest of the herring run.
They are laying farther down the
river and will stay there and
spawn unless the water warns
considerable.
Although hardheads and trout
have been reported in the lower
bay for the past two weeks, Sat
urday saw our first report that
they were on the way up and bit
ing. The first was from Wenonah,
Md, and the second from Captain
Anderson on Deals Island, on the
Eastern Shore, where 1856 were
caught one day last week. Glad
to hear it because now it won't
be long before they are biting all
over the bay. Keep in mind that
the first run is generally the
largest fish and if you are going
to enter one in the contest spon
sored by Hecht Company do it
early. Don't wait for the one you
might never get.

Kirk Miller Says:

CONTINUED from 1st Sport Page,
then on further to Flying Fox
and st. Simon, notable race
winners and stations of Great
Britain. Too, on his paternal
side, Omaha boasts of the blood
of Domino, through Marguerite,
the dam of Gallant Fox. Dom
inc blood represents such speed
as has seldom been bettered.
Now, as to his staying quail
ity, Omaha's lineage stands out.
what with Flying Fox, st. ST.
mon and Ajax being his direct
ancestors. So in Mr.. Woodward's
great colt we have early speed
and stretch runners refined to
the highest common denomina-
tor, which means that a good
ride and no bad racing luck
ought to bring him home a win"
ner late this evening.
Not a. One-Hoss Race
However, I am not trying to
leave the impression today's is a
one-horse race-not by a bag
full of oats.
While it stands to reason the
little lady, Nellie Flag, can't
have the constitution to travel
in such an upper strata of g.
year-old society as all of the big,
strong males she completes
against today, you will recall she
is by no means a weakling IN
view of her finish (fourth) the
last time out against II of the
opposite persuasion.
The more romantic at Pimlico
today think twice before en-
tirely turning their backs on
the Calumet Farm darling. be-
cause she showed herself to be a
game laSsie seven days ago, de-
spite handicaps of getting
pocketed as she essayed the
Louisville merry-go-round.
Next to Omaha and Nellie
Flag, the trouble-maker today is
the Bradley entry, BoXthorn,
who has shown fine form in
workouts and carries Washing
tons own Sonny Workman
aboard to do the plotting. Sonny
knows that narrow Pimlico
racing ribbon as we'll as any
jockey riding today-which is
no disadvantage.

NATIONAL CITY
LOOP LISTS
8 GAMES
BY SID KATZNELL

BY SID hAILNELL
It has been many moons since
sandlot baseball has attracted so
much attention as it has the cur
rent season.
Why? That question is as easy
as jumping off log. washington
probably has the fastest lot OF
teams performing on its sandlots
than any other city in the country.
For instance, the MIRA nine has
three former big leaguerS on its
roster and six-minor league play
ers. other strong teams in the
city also boast former minor
league stars.
Two weeks ago when the MIRA
and Bureau of Investigation played
on the Ellipse, something like 1000
fans saw the game. One old-tlmer
said that was the largest sandlot
crowd that he has ever seen IN
Washington.
Plenty Games Tomorrow
Sandlot teams will see plenty
Of action tomorrow.
Exactly eight games are listed
In. the powerful National City
League, Washington's exclusive
league for unlimited aggregations.

FAR
SUPERIOR To
ANBERS

NEW YORK, May 11.-So they
never come back, Ell? Tony Can
zoneri, recrowned lightweight
champion of the world, must be
chuckling today over that ancient
dictum of the ring. It's true no
other lightweight champion ever
regained the title after losing it,
but then the ring never saw an
other Tony Canzoneri. Tony's
next fight will be in Washington,
ID. c., June 10, against frankie
Klick, jr., welter champion Of San
Francisco.
The game little battler from
New Orleans regained the crown
Barney Ross knocked off his head
two years ago by handing young
Lou Ambers a boxing lesson be-
fore 17,433 cash customers in the
Garden last night.
And for once the verdict was
unanimous from the judges and
referee to the fan in the most
distant reaches of the upper gal
lery. There wasn't a dissenting
voice, nOC even 1IOAA AuAOCAo'
Ambers Credits Tony
In his. dressing room after the
fight, Ambers said simply: THE
better man won. I gave the best
had but he was too smart for
me. But I learned a lot and I'd
like to fight him again some
time. Gee, what a lot OF gloves
he showed me-"
In the other dressing room, the
veteran Tony took his victory as
cody as he did Ambers' punches.
Hes a great little fighter" was
Tonys tribute land he ought to
go far. He made me hustle all
the way"
TO the writer 1t was merely a
case of clown meeting a master
boxer. Herkimer Lou had youth,
speed, world of stamina and a
great heart. But these were not
enough to carry him over a vet
eran with all these assets except
youth but who in addition had
class, GOODNESS under fire, expe-
rience, a head and a punch.
Third Round KnOCkdown
That punch, thrown with the
speed and venom of king cobra.
came close to ending the fight in
the third round when Tony had
Lou twice on the floor and again
in the fifteenth when Lou ran
afoul of one of Tony's murderous
short right hooks.
The writer gave Tony 10
rounds, Lou four and called one
even but even those credited Lou
might just as we'll have been
called $3.50. One of the four
rounds Lou won was awarded
him when Tony accidentally hit
Lou low.
Tony was a poem in action.
He stood straight up, boxing beau
tifully, leading when he took the
notion, or forcing Ambers to lead
to him. He boxed flat-footed
while Ambers went bouncing and
bobbing about him like a cork on
Storm-toSSed sea.

Of our Government. It Is time such
advocates were overthrown them
selves. Our Nation must be kept wolf
and termine proof lest parasites sap
its vitality and undermine U.S."
Praising the Attorney General, Mrs.
Magma commended to the society pro-
ceedings Of the crime conference as
suitable chapter material for study.
Tracing what she said was the
growth Of IAN unprecedented disre-
gard for the law Of the land" Mrs.
Magma said that Crime and corrup-

THE flouting Of any rule or traffic
regulation is in itself a small thing,
but the continued disregard of laws
made and provided for the safe con-
duct of civic life has created habit

Declaring that young America
needs our attention" Mrs. Magma said
Ito decry youth is to admit our own
intolerance, for youth looks to us for
understanding" In the youth of to-
day she expressed confidence, declar-

splendid as youth has ever BEEN

Calling on women to keep "level-
headed, maintaining ever the balance
Of common sense" the president gen.
eral asked them to be intelligently up

Being awake and aware of today"
she explained, "is to keep ones mind
in style, not permit it to become
dressed in thoughts which are so
habitual that they resemble the hoop
skirt and bonnet of past generations,
which we hold dear, but do not wear.
In her annual address, Mrs. Magma
praised the organized work of the
D. A. r., into which she went in more
detail In her annual report to the
