up a smattering Of boxing knowledge

on infighting.
Once regarded as the outstanding
youthful heavyweight, Nader skidded
rapidly and now is seeking to re-
habilitate himself, so to speak, in
light ranks. AS heavy
he whipped such fighters as Tony
Galento, Hank Hankinson, Steve

a draw, but when he started to fade,

CHASING a brilliant field of Virginia

point races here today and conquered
the best cross-country horses that
this Maryland sector and leading
Washington stables could send out
y to meet her.
Ridden by Crompton Smith of
Middleburg, Mary Barry put up a
magnificent finish in the lightweight
hunter race after losing the couse
near the finish and entering the
home stretch almost so lengths be-
hind George Wilson, jr, on Daphne,
which wound up tast-fading Sec
ond.
As the riders swung into view for
the final long pull uphill over a
plowed field and stretch of fairly
deep meadow, Daphne appeared TO be
80 far in the lead that no horse
could beat her. 1t was at that point,
however, that Smith sat down on
Mary Barry and went to work, while
Jamie Mccormick, riding Nancy p.
AHanna's Gone Away, another winner
at Middleburg last week, also began
to dig in the spurs and make up lost
ground. BY the time the trio flashed
past the judges, Smith was on top
by several lengths and Mccormick
was within few strides of closing
into the second money.
The time of the race was "a min
utes, IL seconds, for a route that
was almost miles long.

IN THE middle and heavyweight
division, in which 10 horses
started, 8 went one way around the
