DUSEK'S V|LLA|Ny
ON VIEW TONIGHT
Ernie Due to Display "Bad-
Man" Stuff in TussIe
With Christy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the h5sOClhIeQ FTeSbs
- RNIE DUSEK, who discarded
- most of the orthodox wrestling
taught him by Farmer Burns
- and rose-if that's your idea
Of success-to become matdom's No. /
villain, will again display his graphing
tactics tonight when he tangles with
Vic Christy at Turner's Arena.
Valiant Vic, billed as handsome be-
cause he doesn't have cauliflower ear,
demanded a rematch following last
weeks riotous episode, which found
Ernie victorious. And Promoter Joe
Turner, sensing another capacity
crowd, offered no argument
Some 500 local fans, protesting the
manner in which Christy was counted
out, sent a petition to Turner that
consequently eliminated Cyclone Burns
as a referee tonight. Most spectators
felt that Dusek had pinned but one Of
Vic's shoulders.
The rugged Dusek, who probably has
weathered more showers of cigar
and cigarette butts, peanuts and
folded newspapers than any other
mailman, seldom fails to give fans a
sensational, If not sportsmanlike, per-
formance.
To assure spectators of at least one
stormy session, Joe Dusek. Ernie's little
brother, will face Jim Cofield In a
scheduled 30-minute bout.
In a semi-final, Lean Dutton will
stack up against Scotty McDougsll,

FISHING in the Potomac these
l. days is out Of the question,
Of course, but o number Of
Il anglers are curious over the
speed Of the currnet.
The normal rate between Harpers
Ferry and Washington is about two
miles an hour, we learn from the
United States Weather Bureau, and at

Just how swiftly the stream is
flowing now is not known, but anglers
need have little apprehension over
the effect the greatly increased vol
Tune and speed of the current will
have on Spring fishing.
Only a few of Old Man Potomac's

JEFFR|ES IS ONLY

Louis Placed Third, With
Corbett and Sullivan
Next in Line.

BY the Associated Press.
- AN FRANCISCO.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons. the freckled Cornishman
who left blacksmith's sledge
- in Australia to become the
kingpin of American prize rings in the
e0s. has been named the worlds
greatest heavyweight" to date in a
consensus compiled by Harry B.
Smith. veteran sports editor of the
San Francisco Chronicle.
The balloting brought out the opin-
ions of boxing experts from all sec
tions Of the country many of whom
were ringsiders when the late Ruby
Robert" was compiling record that
won him titles in the middleweight,
light heavyweight and heavyweight
divisions.
James J. Jeffries polled a few less
votes than FitzSimmons to become sec
ond choice, while Detroit's current
Negro sensation, Joe Louis, was given
third place.
The late James j. Corbett, first
heavyweight champion under the
MARQUIS of Queensberry rules, was
fourth place choice, while the man he
conquered, the late John L. Sullivan.
late title holder under the old London
prize fight rules, ranked seventh.
Tunney Fifth, Dempsey Sixth.
CENE TUNNEY and his srch-rival,
~ Jack Dempsey, rated fifth and
sixth. respectively.
Three Negroes. Jack johnson. the
late Peter jackson and pudgy Sam
Langford, round out the first ten"
In the order named.
FitzsimmonS earned his niche in
the hall of boxing fame by winning
the middleweight crown from Jack
Dempsey, the Nonpareil, in 1891, the
heavyweight title from Corbett in
1897 and the light heavyweight cham
pionship from George Gardner in
1903, after he had lost the heavy
weight laurelS four years before to
Jeffries.
Built along the lines of an in
verted triangle and never weighing
more than ITO pounds in his prime,
Fitzsimmons capped 35 years of fight
ing with six-round no-decision bout
with K. o. Sweeney in 1914. Ruby

Prefer to Play in Own Class.

uIGH-GOAL men dislike playing In
= a game in which one or more in
ferior players participate. They have
the same feeling about this that they
entertain concerning left-handed polo
lists. In both cases it Is difficult II not
impossible. to tell what they are going
to do and how. An expert exponent of
polo. such as the -southpaw. Watson
Webb, was so thoroughly versed in
method and strategy. so fine horse
man, so accomplished with the mallet
as to be able to accommodate himself
to his right-handed teammates and
opponents and to assume position
among the great polo players of all
time. But he stood in his day, as he
still stands. an exception.
But without any exception, the un-
qualified player ever has been men
ace to himself as to others when play
ing with his betters. What it boils
down to is this: There are two distinct
types of polo-the slow, low-goal game
and the fast, high-goal game-and
polo is in better estate when the two
do not meet.

~ EATH of Serge Mdivani in a
polo game in Florida en-
phasizes a sinister fact con-
~ cerning this high-pressure
sport. In no sport is the hazard Of
inexperience, or ineptitude, so great.
A tyro at the game, or a man who
has never learned to play well. endan-
gers not only himself but his team
mates and those opposed to him.
Records In this country and in Eng
land, too, contain no instance of a
high-goal player being killed when
involved in a contest among poloists
approximately Of his class. In all the
international matches, England versus
United States; either of these coun-
tries against India or the Argentine,
United States Army against the Brit
ish Army, and so forth, not only have
no deaths occurred, but no serious ac-
cidents.
When, as in Serge Mdivanis case,
a player Of no rating takes part in a
contest in which the other individuals
re profcient--meaning they are good
horsemen, expert with the stick and
familiar with all the moves-danger Is
ever present.
Endangers Superior Players, Too.
A ND the risk which the inferior
player faces is no greater than
that imposed upon his more gifted
teammates and opponents. Where
players on both teams are versed in
polo, every one knows what every one
else is going to do in almost any phase
of play or any situation. But no one
knows what the inept poloist will do.
He does not know himself.
Mdivani, at an exciting juncture,
thinking of nothing but getting to the
ball, rode blindly hell-for-leather
across the line Of play, and so was
crashed by Cecil Smiths mount. A
fine player, such as the /Herculean
Texan. never figures that an opponent
Is going to cross him. He has as little
thought of this as a big Lacquer on
second base has that a member of his
team, holding first, will attempt to
steal the bag he occupies. OF course.
this has happened, just as foul cross
ing happens in high-goal polo, but in
the latter case it is a rare occurrence,
and when the foul is committed 1t Is
done so deftly that the risk Of accident
is minimiZed.
