Horse Show opens Saturday morning
at Bradley Farms and continues

No early action was expected on the
letter of Maj. Ernest w. Brown, chair
man of the District Boxing Commis-
sion, to Marty Gallagher, local heavy
weight, endeavoring to learn his views
toward a bout with Buck Everett,
District champion.
Although it establishes Gallagher as
the No. 1 challenger for Everett's title,
the commission declared that it would
mot adopt an arbitrary attitude in the
matter, but would rely on the CO.
operation of all concerned for the
good Of boxing locally"
Everett must defend his title within
the. next two months or lose his
championship. It is thought that Jim

HOLE IN ONE RARE
IN D. c. THIS YEAR
Even Public Courses Are Re.
porting FeW-Duffers'
Meet at Manor.
BY w. R. McCALLUM.

r VOLES in one, the aces that de.
light the buffers heart and
convince him that at last he
4 Il is golfer, aren't so prolific
around Washington this year. Pos
Sibly a dozen and a half have been
made altogether, but they are not
coming in by twos and threes as
they used to come in a half dozen
years ago, particularly from the pub
lie courses.
Maybe it's because the public links
golfers haven't really gotten into the
swing of things yet, or perhaps it's
on account Of the only partial use
Of the fifth hole at Rock Creek Park,
the hole where so many aces have been
scored. This hole is a 97-yarder across
a bend in the creek and probably so
or 60 aces have been made on it in
eight years.
So light is the current crop of aces
that only four have been made at
Rock Creek Park this year. These
have been achieved by Ross Smith,
Frank Lightfoot, William Baroni and
Harry Mofett.
Washington Golf and Country Club
has accounted for three aces, Columbia
for two more and the other clubs for
few, but on the whole the boys
who smack 'em toward distant pins are
not turning in as many holes in one
as they used to show.

diamond in the rough, will
need more than seven iron
i y to dislodge the unfavorable
impression he left with the majority Of
local ringworms last night at Griffith

Coast heavyweight, but to many spec
tators the copper-thatched lad is
within an approach shot of fistianas

Of his gradual development. the 21-
year-old Burman is not what one
truthfully could call crowd-pleaser.
In fact, he was called about every
derogatory phrase known to ring par
, lance by most of the 1,19l fans who
shelled out $1,52355 to view the pro-
ceedings.
Yet, Dempsey apparently has nc
lemon on his hands. Burman Is a
clever body puncher with potential
dynamite lurking in both mittens. The
fact that most of his blows to the mid
section are not visible to the gallery
make Red a poor drawing card.
Eddie Lafond, who refereed the
bout, and many others who know the
possibilities of youthful pugilists,
agree than Burman's fistic future is
promising. Like Joe Louis. however,
Red must develop an adequate de-
fense against a stiff right hand.

deuce on the 150-yard eleventh and
finished his conquest of the short
