Danno Due for Fall Before
Leaving U. S.-Wins Over
Donovan Easily.

n YOT that anybody cares, but the
New York wrestling moguls
soon must give the word to
some deserving grappler to
pin the muscular shoulders Of Danno
O'Mahony to the mat.
For Danno soon must pack his
trunks and be escorted out of the
country by Uncle Sans immigration
officials. His famous Irish whip prob
ably will give way to new Greek
grab, for the men who direct the des-
tiny Of the caulihower industry can't

spot he is hiding In and bring his air.
plane spin into action Or perhaps
Ed Don George, who claims he was
treated unfairly before 10000 Boston
fans, would be the logical successor.
At any rate, a change of champions
would do the grapple game a world Of
good. Wrestling addicts should be
fed up with O'Mahony's dramatic
climax, in which he brings his whip
into action to quell the threats Of his
torso-twisting opponents.
Match Is Short.
JACK DONOVAN was the victim
last night at Joe Turner'S arena
before 1000 incurables. Danno wasted
little time in disposing Of the domestic
Irishman, ending the alleged match
in 201S minutes in the same manner
as he has finished 121 others.
Jack clapped a deadlock on OMa-
hony in the early moments Of the bout
then experimental with an armlocE
before Danno thought the fans had
received enough for their money anc
started out to accomplish the in
evitable.
But Donovan evidently did not relish
the ignominy Of being tossed in 1C
minutes. so he evaded the Irish whip
for 1oh more minutes before Dannc
grabbed his (Jack's) right wrist, tossed
him back and forth across the ring
and plunked him to the mat for keeps
Dean Detton and Joe Cox, following
the main event, provided the spectators
with more thrills than the other three
bouts combined, slamming each other
about the ring for 80 minutes in a
rough and tumble draw bout.
In other matches Charley Strack
butted Floyd Marshall into submission
in 26 minutes, while Chief Cherwaki
won over Don Nolan in Is minutes.

w WASHINGTON no longer is
A| the center of the better
Wv golfers in the Middle At
lantic sector, if you go by
the records of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association.
Where a decade ago Washington
golfers completely dominated the Mid
die Atlantic area, the representatives
of Baltimore, Norfolk and Richmond
have succeeded in grabbing the premier
sectional crown for seven consecutive
years right from under the noses Of
our better club wielders. Morton j.
Mccarthy of Virginia Beach is the
present title holder, but he probably
isn't any better as a golfer than sew
eral of our leading par busters, even
though not one of them has been able
to win the mid d-Atlantic crown since
1928.
It shows how the neighboring cities
have risen in production of winning
golfers to view the ancient old cup
which is the main prize in the Middle
Atlantic Golf Association champion
ships. For many years Washington
golferS-Lee Harlan John c. David
son, Eddie Brooke, Albert and Roland
Mackenzie. Walter Tuckerman, George
j. Voigt. Harry G. Pitt and Cliff Nc
Kimmie-won those championships to
the almost complete exclusion of the
links representatives of the other
towns, but of late years the boys from
the Capital haven't been doing much
winning. Indeed, Harry Pitt was the
last Washington man to win the title,
which he accomplished in an extra
hole final round back in 1928.
Title Eludes Peacock.
CINCE that time Richmond has won
the major portion of the tourna-
mentS won by representatives from any
one city, with Billy Howell winning
twice in a row and Bobby Riegel win
ming the title once. Baltimore also
won the tournament twice, with Ernie
Caldwell winning in 1882 and Dave
Crook victorious in 1888.
Does all this mean that Washing
ton is slipping in so far as production
OF winning golfers is concerned? Prob
ably it does not, for at a guess Roger
Peacock would rank among the first
20 amateur golfers of the land, and
certainly he is as good as any man
playing amateur golf in this sector
And yet Roger hasn't been able to
win the mid-Atlantic. He made his
best bid in 1884, when Bobby Riegel
licked him with a scintillating dis
play OF putting. It's a tough mug to
win-that old Middle Atlantic Trophy
first put up back in 1902, when the
old District of Columbia and Mary
land Golf Association was organized,
to be merged two years later into
what now is the Middle Atlantic As
sociation.
But from the record Washington
golfers are not doing as well as they
did 10 years and more ago, when they
won the tournament for some six
years in a row, and always were the
dominant factors whenever the mid
Atlantic was played. The old mug
has seen some stirring battles, among
them none better than the extra-hole
engagement in 1928 between Albert
Mackenzie and his son Roland at
Chevy Chase, where Roland squared
the match with bird on the eight
eenth, only to have Albert come back
with a winning bird on the twentieth.
And the final round at Hermitage in
1924 between Walter Tuckerman and
Cliff McKirnr1ie, won on the last hole.
Or the round of 6s shot by Ernie
Caldwell at Columbia in 1882, when
he couldn't miss a putt.
