Cont. from First Sports Page)

NNVAt' AEVAu EIESG Sports rage
tops among shortstops you can
name the man who ranks him.
Baseball fans throughout the
circuit express sympathy for Bill
Summers. who was struck down
by bottle in Chicago. Commits
sioner Kenesaw Mountain Lands
made the Beau Geste in offering
$4,000 for the arrest and convic-
ton Of the criminal.
AS this writer sees it, a person
throwing bottle at an umpire, or
anyone else on an athletic field, is
a potential murderer. He should
be liable to all the punishments
that the law metes out to morons
of his stripe, the gun toter, the
house breaker. the kidnaper and
the pyromaniac.
1t is sorry reflection on the
great American sense Of fair play
so widely publicized and so sell
dom practiced-when a spectator
cannot restrain the desire to per-
manently injure, and perhaps kill
an official over a decision in a
baseball game. Summers was emf.
nently correct in reversing Char
ley johnson from all accounts of
the game. The ball on the put
out made by Pat Malone was held
sufficiently long to complete a put
out within the Interpretation of
the rules.
But even II the runners were
safe, is victory so sweet and a ball
game so important as to be won
at sacrifice of human life? Bill
Summers, good, bad or Indifferent
as an umpire, is an upright, hon
est citizen, and the father of a
family. Should the Offence" of
calling out a runner be punish
able by death?
One way to stop these thugs
who patronize baseball games
would be to pass a rule that all
concessionaries be compelled to
sell their soft drinks in paper car
tons, and permit no bottle to get
into the hands of crowds, however,
seeming sane the patrons may be.
The line that separates the crowd
from a mob too often is fixed by
the accident Of leadership.

be facing a fighter with quite as
great o heart as the German him
self has displayed, not only against
Louis, but throughout his entire
American fighting career.
We recall too, that within the
past twenty or so months, Schmel.
ing has made quite a record for
himself in undoing defeats which
had come to him, turning to and
quite reversing those decisions.
For instance, Max lost a IL
round decision to Steve Hamas,
the former Penn State all-around
sports star, In Philadelphia, Febru.
airy -, 1884.
Two Different Stories
The best he could do with
Paolino Uzcudun in Barcelona
Spain, was to get a draw, in May
of the same year.
Well, a year later in Berlin, Max
got o 9Th round knockout over
Hamas, doing Steve UP so badly
that there was. much alarm as to
his physical condition.
And again in his own home town
of Berlin he met Paolino Uzcudun
and scored a 12-round decision
That was just q year ago last
month, and it constituted an
other consideration that augured
against Schmeling being generally
picked to win the Louis fight. The
fact that Louis dispatched Uzcu'
dun in four rounds, whereas
Paolino stayed the limit to be
defeated by Schmeling, appeared
vital to Something's chances.
So, both Schmeling and Brad
dock have shown unquestionable
courage in overcoming their
recent ring foes. and in their COM
ing fight, you will see two sterling
hearts giving everything.

Capture First Three Places in
610-Mile Flight-Woodside

OBTAINING results seldom equaled
in competition among the mem
bers of one club, let alone three, the
pigeon partnership Of w. F. Dismer
and Ted McGann achieved greater
fame than ever during the recent 610-
mile race from Alfalfa, Ala, when
birds from their loft placed first, sec
ond and third among 1853 entrants Of
the National Capital Racing Pigeon
Concourse.
Members of the Washington Racing
Pigeon Club. Dismer and McGann
extended their superiority far beyond
the confines of that organization, as
the concourse includes the three larg-
est pigeon clubs in the city.
Forced to stop overnight, thus losing
about IL hours in the computation Of
average speed, the winning bird, new
ertheless, was able to show a rate Of
nearly S51 yards per minute. His loft
mate, who came in second, averaged
slightly less, his speed being computed
at 84990 yards per minutes.
Twelve of the IS lofts which were
represented failed 10 report an entry

catch blue fish that way, but every

fish will take your bait.

rock and cat still are here and worth
going after. If you want to 60 out

ones, Capt. Joe Fletcher will let you
have a sturdy little rowboat cheaply.
Bass continue to be a problem local
ly. You really have to go out and
hunt them for hours before being able
to take even one. A spot that usually
proves to be productive is right of
the mouth of Pimmet Run, Just this
side of Chain Bridge. They usually
are taken there with live minnows
down near the bottom, but river rant
with the mere suggestion Of a Sinker
on the leader might do the trick. Get
it in deep, and let the current, which
is rather swift at that point, play 1t
for you. It's hardly necessary to reel
1t in. It's no use trying to lure bass
to the top there with plopping plugs,

second annual Marlboro horse show,
which opened this morning at 10
o'clock at the Prince Georges County

NAVY GETS STAR BACK
Brenner, All-State at Severn, in
Entering Glass.

ANNAPOLIS, June 1e.-Navy has
gained a backfield man of promise
in Jack Brenner, Severn School play
er and all-Maryland scholastic back
for the last two seasons. While Bren-
ner has had only school team ex-
perience. he has all the earfnarks
of a great back and has attracted
favorable attention wherever he has
played. Though weighing around 100
pounds, Brenner is fast and elusive
and is conceded to be the best school
back in Maryland.
Though only a small portion of the
members of the new class at the
Naval Academy have entered up to
the present, it contains much fine
foot ball material and promises to
be on par with the two fine classes
which have preceded it.

show, sponsored by the Forest Glen
Council OF the Knights Of Columbus,
opens for two days at Bradley Farms
with 80 classes on its roster, tempt
ing collection of trophies posted and
prize money offered in some classes.
The Columbus meeting features seven
classes for junior riders and ponies,
a diversified array Of hunter and jump
er events and several for bride path
hacks and other saddle types.
WHEN the first half of the Colum-
bus session opens on Saturday,
enthusiasts will be torn in two direc-
tions, as it were, for the regular Lou
doun Hunt horse show also will be
under way down at Belmont, the
estate of former Secretary of War

vantage of an exceptionally attrac-

is adding further to its attractions by
offering silver prizes for first, second
and third places in its more important
classes. Eighteen divisions are listed
in all, with particular attention paid
to young breeding stock and suitable
types.
