BOMB THREATS
TO GOV. QUINN

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. Is
G.N.SO.-As a 24-hour police guard
was placed about the home and
members of the family of Gov. Rob
ert E. Quinn CD following receipt
of letter threatening bombing, a
report was current today that a
compromise was impending in the
"battle of Narragansett." ,
Disclosure of the bomb threat
was the latest development in the
12-day struggle of Governor Quinn
and other State officials to GUST
Walter E. O'Hara as general man
ager of NarraganSett Park horse
race track, and revoke its license
because of alleged violations OF
State regulations.
The threat writer informed the
governor "to get wise and lay off,
or he would find a bomb in the
engine of your car"
O'Hara, informed of the threat
to the governor. quickly denied
any responsibility, but challenged
Governor Quinn to meet him in a
boxing contest this afternoon at
the track.
81 would be glad to box him
for a purse of any sum he will
name, said purse to go to char
ity," said O'Hara. IF the gov
ernor will arrange it, would be
willing to let the public bet on
the match through the mutuel
machines"
Prior to receipt of the threat
letter two days ago, Governor
Quinn revealed his automobile
had been trailed on two occasions
The report concerning the i'm
pending compromise said Cover
nor Quinn would halt the custer
proceedings against O'Hara if the
latter would cease personal attacks
on the governor and the Demo
cratic administration in his Provi

Until Iglehart came along, he
was the only man in polo who
made it close for Hitchcock, and
he's still making it close. The
other day, Cecil and the others,
for instance, ran up 16 goals on
Aknusti, one of the better second
class teams around here.
AS for Tempelton, it could have
been almost great. But Eric Ped

of the Griff personnel of mid.

the club roster another year, and
of course Mel Armada, a young,
hustling ball player who joined
the team in the NeWSom and
Chapman trade, was broadly
limited as one of those to be re,
tanned.
Watch-And See!
Since then Phebus and Chase
have established themselves and
with WaSdell and BloodWorth get
ting tryouts on the right hand
side of the infield, it is plain to
be seen that the Washington Base
ball Club, Inc, is probing nobly in
the element of flaming youth.
Yea, Griffith and Harris are on
the rebuild, and in view of the
fact the club isn't financially able
to buy talent, it is experimenting
the hard way by developing its
future regulars.
Another youngster who may
some time be steady counterpart
in the outfield with Armada. is
George Case, the Trenton grad
uate who in his short stay with the
Griffmen had shown the earmarks
of early utility in the upper strata
of the game until he developed
soreness.
These kids are definite markers
to the texture of the team which
will play for Washington in the
seasons Immediately ahead, and
while the men whose places they
will take are far from through,
they will be disposed of conven-
icntly and advantageously while
they are still of trading value.

1t means that outcome of the
Davis Cup matches can be re-
garded as a ,toss-up among the
United States, Australia and Ger
many, with our own team facing
a better chance to regain the
trophy now than at any time since
it was lost in 1927.
Regardless of where the cup
ultimately lands, England, in my
opinion, cannot hope to win it
again. With Perry gone and Bunny
Austin as the backbone of the
British tennis forces, they will
face too much competition from
other nations.
AuSsieS Balanced
Australia seems to have the best
balanced squad, provided Jack
Crawford enjoys another good
year, and Germany probably has
the best player in Baron Won
Cramm, but I give the United
States an excellent chance because
Don Bulge is likely to beat any
player at any time and Bulge and
Gene Mako really are formidable
doubles combination.
Bulge probably would beat Won
Cramm on turf as often as he
would be beaten and if the United
States gets to the last round We
should win the cup.
Against England in the chal-
lenge round, 1 am sure Bulge
would beat Austin-and, therefore,
win both of the singles matches
and 1 am equally confident Bulge
and Mako would have little trouble
in the doubles.
Bulge in Line
And in weighing the significance
of Perry turning professional,
don't overlook that this also
means we probably will regain our
mems n national championship.
Bulge looks like a sure bet to win
at Forest Hills.
Miss Alice Marble undoubtedly
will retain the women'S national
title even if Helen Jacobs, whom
she beat in the 1886 finals. and
