annually, as these races grow
older, enthusiasm for them grows
apace.
Annually, for the past eight
years, the eyes of the steeplechas-
ing world in this country have
turned toward Camden as the
Carolina cup event was staged.
Somehow or other, the Carolina
cup race reflects what to expect
for the remainder of the Steeple-
chasing season. The fact that
eight, and possibly II, will start
in the Carolina cup augurs well
for the season coming up.
Another Good Race
While the Carolina cup race is
the top attraction at Camden to-
morrow, there is another interest
ing number carded. 1t is the
Springdale Cup, a test of about
two and a quarter miles over a
brush course. Entered in this one
are F. Ambrose Clark's Hurry
Harry and Birmingham, Mont
pelier Stables Golden Reel, Har-
old Talbot'S Bonnie Lad, Ben
Leslie Bahr's Baff1er, R. V. N.
Gambrill's Navarino, James Cox
Brady's Crooked Wood, and the
Poplar Lane Stables Rocky Shore.
Hurry Harry may not accept the
issue.
In this field, great interest at
taches to the performances OF
Golden Reel, which, many say, will
develop into the sensation of the
season.
After tomorrow's Camden events,
the steeplechasers move into Vir-
ginia. A week from tomorrow it's
the Deep Run Hunt Cup, at Rich.
mond. After Richmond, come My
Lady'S Manor, Monkton, Md; Mid

C.Boxing Body
Shifts Decision
To Saugstad

We all make mistakes, even eX-
cellent prize-fight referees.
Our good District Boxing Com
mission finally has decided that
Referee Eddie "Muggsy" Morris
was in error when he declared
Jim Koustenas, of the Washington
Boys Club, the winner over Eddie
SaugStad, of the National Guard,
Wednesday night, in the much
discussed amateur battle which
was a feature of the District A.
A. us 6imon-pure ring tourna-
ment in Turner's Arena.
Now the commission comes
through with the official verdict
that Saugstad is the winner Of the
bout by a technical knockout,
which is as it should be.
Twomey Spokesman
Two of the three commissioners
Parkinson and Claude
Owens-handed down the decision
which gives Saugstad the victory.
The third commissioner, Major Err
nest w. Brown, chairman, was not
present at yesterdays meeting of
the commissioners since his duties
as head of the metropolitan police
demanded his presence elsewhere.
The commissions verdict Sus-
tainS the claims of Shrewd Matt
Twomey, coach of the National
Guard boxing team, who was
Saugstad'S spokesman.
The commissions decision was
the outgrowth of the following
situation:
In the third round of their en-
counter, which was furiously
fought, Saugstad cut loose with a
terrific right-hand punch. It
caught Koustenas on the button

our club last year." COchrane
said. He completely ignored his
own enforced absence and its
effect upon the team. with
Hank in the lineup we would
have won some of those Onerun
games that we lost. We would
have beaten some clubs more
consistently. The race would
have been far tighter, even if we
did not win.
"Hank is back in fine form.
His wrist is loose and he Is snap
ping into his hits the way he
used to. Yes, indeed, the pitchers
will have lot of fun with that
big boy back in the lineup.
"Our pitchers haven't found
themselves yet" said Mickey.
"SOme of them found themselves
under the showers, and some of
them will find themselves in
Beaumont if they don't find
their control. The bane of every
managers existence is a three
and-twO pitcher, and I've had a
few of them. But there again,
it is too early to tell just what
you're going to get. On record
the pitchers should be all right"
The record shows that Clyde
Halter is of the type described
by Cochrane. He has stuff, and
struck out 100 batsmen in the
American Association. He issued
100 bases on balls. Paul Sullivan
is another fellow with stuff, but
who has shown a disposition to be
wide of the plate.
Goose NearS End
Mickey would not discuss the
case, but there is reason to think
that the veteran Leon Goose
Goslin is nearing the end Of the
trail. He is resting quite a bit
and while he rests, pressure i!

chants like Chet Laabs, who i!

ments. Laabs was a sensation
with Milwaukee, driving in Is,

Fairfax Horse
Show Lists
II Classes

Seventeen classes will be offered
in the Fairfax Hunts annual horse
show to be held on the Fairfax
horse show grounds, on the Lee
Highway, Saturday, April II. With
two of the nations outstanding
fanciers as judges, this years show
promises to surpass all previous
ones given by the Fairfax Hunt.
The two judges are Mrs. Frederick
Van Lennep, of Philadelphia, and
Trafford Tallmadge, M. F. H., Co.
lumbuS, Ohio.
OF primary interest to farmers
are classes one and two, the first
for heavy-draft stations, The Sec
ond for heavy-draft teams. There
is no entry fee for either of these
classes.
OF unusual interest to breeders
are Glasses 8, 4 and S. Glass 3
is for heavy brood mares. Class
4 is for yearling colts. Class 5
is for two-year-old colts. Entries
in classes 4 and 5 must be suitable
to become hunters.
Hunters Hold Stage
AS is usual with horse shows
in this area-Maryland, Vir-
ginia, District of Columbia-hunt-
ers will hold the center of the
stage. There are classes for green
hunters, ladies' hunters, middle
and heavy weight hunters, light
weight hunters, hunter hacks and
hunt teams.
Probably the outstanding fea-
ture of the card on April IT will
be the Corinthian class. The win
ner in this one will receive the
Richard Spencer trophy, which
must be won three times by the
same participant for permanent
ownership. In this event, horses
must be ridden in hunt colors
over an inside course. Conforma-
tion will count Is per cent, per-
formance 60 per cent and ap-
pointments Is per cent.
Another class certain to attract
attention, and one almost certain
to draw the largest field, is the
Qualified Hunter Working Glass.
The winner here will receive the
Arthur Godfrey trophy.

"That'S a tough question:"

of Washington in '36, but the

Griffs to raise considerable fuss
in the race.

IL WILL De UQe 6lgnbn running
of the race which is dedicated to
Thomas Hitchcock as a tribute of
appreciation of his many years
of untiring interest in the develop
ment and progress of steeplechas-
ing in America.
According to word from Harry
D. Kirkover, Buffalo sportsman,
in charge of the Carolina Cup
event, IL have been named for
the testing timber race, of which
eight, more than likely, will start.
John Schiff's Indigo and Rich
ard K. Melons Escape III top
the field of entries. Others GER
tain to accept the issue are Ca
reer, Deflation, LasSitude, Or Else,
Fugitive, and Ostend. The three
doubtful starters are Gigolo, Pom
toon, and Tertius.
A Widener Horse
Indigo, son of Stefan the Great,
was bred by Joseph Widener, and
was at first sent to the post in
flat races. Then he was put to
brush. When Schiff took him
from Widener, Indigo was sent
against stiff timber, and has been
at it ever since. Escape III won
last Saturdays Sandhills Steeple-
chase.
DevoteeS of steeplechasing in
this section, embracing the Vir-
ginia and Maryland areas, rather
look upon this years timber-rac-
ing card as more or less a big
test. According to some observers,
timber racing is dying, but it is
difficult to believe that in view
of the fact that interest, especial
ly in this section, is greater than
ever before. The Maryland Hunt
Cup, the Virginia Gold Cup, the
Deep Run Hunt Cup, and other
timber races in this section, always
manage to draw fine fields, and

Tourney Off

Fire which completely razed the
club house at Rock Greek, has
necessitated Manager Ed Burns to
forego all plans for the tourna-
ment which was slated to start
Easter Monday. This would have
been the first event of the local
golf season.
Much interest has been shown
in the tourney as it was sure to
attract a banner crop of college
lads who are now home for the
holidays.
Workmen are now in the process
of clearing away the debris and
the construction of new club
house will start within a week. At
