Once in Brokerage Business.

A LTHOUGH Buddy has been aSso-
= ciated with horses almost from
birth, his father and mother wanted
him to follow some other calling So
Buddy went to college and entered the
brokerage business. Came the de-
preston and Buddy gave up his job
that married man might keep his
position. 1t was not altogether an
altruistic gesture, however, for Buddy
still wanted to be a trainer and
thought if he was without a Job his
dad would give him a chance
Finally Father Make gave him
horse to take to Kentucky and he did
such fine job that he was put on the
stables pay roll. In few years he
had saved enough money to branch
out for himself.
Buddy raced a string of horses
through the West for several owners,
including one or two for Morton L.
Schwartz, owner of Bold Venture.
Then came orders to sell all but his
own, 50 he bought Columbiana from
his dad. The Widener winner had
come into Papa Hirschs hands in q
transaction with Schwartz, who owned
Fire Top, daughter of Man o. War
and Dam Of Columbiana.

Sherwood Is Spunky.

THE winner and runner-up of the

ceive trophies and cups will go also
to the suburban and girl victors. The

Spirited little Sherwood High of
Montgomery County today formally
accepted an invitation, through Prin-
cipal Austin A. La Mar, and will meet
Eastern, defending title holder, in the
tournament inaugural at 8 pm. Mon

but little Sherwood appears to be
plumb unawed.
All other games in the first round
seem sure to be rousing contests, with
Bethesda Chevy Chase meeting st.
Johns College, Catholic school cham
pion Of Washington; Mount Rainier
and Washington-Lee tangling and
George Washington facing Western
The whole bushes will be toss-up
after the Eastern-Sherwood game.
An amplifying system will be used,

being arranged to make the tourna-
ment probably the best basket ball
card, generally considered, of the year.

Bob Eller voted draw, however. and
that seemed a justifiable dtion to

Hobo alternated in pumping straight
lefts and left hooks into Mader's face
and then chopping his right across to
the head or under the heart.
Nader, however, clearly gained a
margin on inflghting. His right con-
tinually failed Hobo's back and head

Williams bobbing noggin earned him
a draw. The Stars score shec showed
Williams ahead by the narrow gap of
