NEW HAVEN HORSE
SHOW ON MAY 5

New Haven, April 13-The spot
light of the horse show world turns
to New~Haven where, on Wednesday
evening, May 5 the thirteenth an
nual New Haven horse show opens
under the sponsorship of the New
Haven Horse. shoy association.
With activities at Aiken, Pine
hurst and other southern resorts
drawing to a close, early indications
point to the greatest entry list in
the history of the show. This is due,
in part, to the fact that the New
Haven events will precede the Allan
tic City show this year, thus aford-
ing owners a compact indoor circuit.
Again this year, John r. Demar-
est, president of the New Haven
Horse show association, heads the
committee in charge of the show.
He Is to be assisted by T. F. Ham
mer, James "A. Gillies, r. 8. Fem,
e. @. Palmer and Nathan Podolotf.
H. E. Ingram will act as shoy
manager. 5..t
In addition to the trophies and
ribbons to be awarded in II events,
approximately $500 will be distrib-
uted in prizes during the four days
Of the show. Competition will begin
on Wednesday night, will continue
afternoon and evening, until the
final session on Saturday evening,
May 8.
Entries for the show close 10 days
before the opening date, on Monday,
April 20.

New York, April 13-(UP)-The
United States Davis cup team lost
it's chance to challenge England for
the trophy last year when, from the
depths of his inexperience, young
Gene Mako elected to make the
easiest sort of shot the hardest sort
of way.
Partnering Don Bulge in the dou-
bles against Australia in the North
American zone final, Mako, with his
side at match point, was offered a
soft lom set-up at the net. Both his
opponents, Jack Crawford and Ad-
-rian Quist, were hopelesly out OF
position. All Mako had to do to end
the match was to tap the ball over
the net-anywhere. But he was too
anxious to end the battle, and end
it in spectacular manner, so, ris-
ing up on his toes he put everything
he had into backhand smash-and
netted. Inspired by this the Aus
tralians came on to win the doubles
and the decisive point Of the tie.
To see that inexperience doesn't
rob this years team of a match the
United States Lawn Tennis associa-
ton ha sengaged George Lott, Jr.,
to catch the cup doubles tandem.
The retention of Lott was such a
smart thing to do that many Of the
critics who know the governing body
of tennis in this country could
scarce believe the news. The finest
doubles player this country has ever
produced, Lott will send out a cup
team which knows all the answers.
The youngsters may not be able to

bring off all the shots, but you may
be sure that they will take the court
KNOWING what to do.
In winning at Wimbledon, Forest
Hills, Longwood and on nearly all
the other ranking turf of the world,
Lott became immune to pressure.
The match point that Mako muffed
would have been just another shot
to Lott. remember watching MN
play with Lester Stoefen in match
in the Queens club, tournament at
London. Stoefen had been badly of
his game throughout the match and
so, when the opponents came to
match point Lott halted the game
and shooed Lester Off the court.
"You can't hit your hat today"
Lott said good naturedlN $50 you
will please 60 over there and lean
against the fence until bring the
scere Of deuce"
Lester complied and Lott, playing
one against two, STAYED off the match
point with a lob that nicked the
baSeline.
I trust, however, that our young
doubles team will not adopt the new
coach as a sartorial mentor. Bet
cause Lott is not exactly the Beau
Brummel of the courts. His favorite
outfit, as an amateur, at least, con-
sisted of a pair of flannel trousers
that, from the looks of them, were
his high school graduation present,
and wooden shirt whose tails re-
fused to be subjected to the tyranny
of a belt. The hannels were faded
q pale yellow, and fit ssnugly as
the cycling pants Of a gay nineties
dandy.
On one occasion at Wimbledon,
when the queen was in the royal
box, his teammates urged Lott to
discard this outfit in favor Of
beautifully tailored flannels and a
stylish shirt with the Davis cup
seal on the bosom. But he refused
and went forth to play for the queen.
After the first set he wearied of
walking to the umpires' chair for a
towel and SO. with graceful ges-
ture, tied the big bath towel around
his waist. For the remainder of the
match he played with it tapping
behind him. And, for the first time
in the memory of the oldest Wimble-
don critic, the queen laughed out
loud.

Boston, April 13-(UP)-Some OF
nv fellow-runners are saying that

B. A. A. marathon.
I'm blond. But I'm a dark
horse" too. And that means just
one thing: I honestly think I'm go
ing to win the April 10th race.
Come to think of it, this will be
my seventh B. A. A. marathon. So,
if there's any luck in numbers,
that's another point for my side.
What's more, each year I've bet
tered my previous years perform
ance. For instance, last year I
was eighth, the year before 23d and
the year before that 50th.
I expect this will be very hare
race, though. That's why I have
been training since New Years day
for it. When my duties as a kitch-
en- man in Boston restaurant
permit, I run from one to three
miles every other day. run when
I feel like 1t and don't do anything
if I'm too tired.
A week ago, I won the 10-mile
presentation run-if that's any in
dication of how will finish the
marathon.
AS I said, this will be a hard
race and I figure that Johnny Kel-
ley will finish second to me with
Pat Dengis and Less Pawson will
fight it out for third place.
But watch my smoked!

United Press Staff Correspondent
Boston, April Is. - (UP) - After
II hours, 8 minutes, of continuous
fighting spread over 126 bouts in
two rings, a starting field Of 100 title
aspiran.s in the 35th Annual Ma
tional A. A. u. Boxing Champion
ships was sifted down to "a quarter
finalisst today.
From 3 p. M, yesterday, when the
three-day punchfest started, until
2:O9 this wee morning, youths repre-
steady stream Of shrdluaoaetaoinu
senting 26 states, Hawaii and the
District of Columbia poured a
steady stream of leather in this
survival of the fittest" test.
When the trails finally were over
and the yawning customers ((many
brought basket lunches but forgot
their overnight bags) felt their way
to the exits between cat-nips, two
things stood out in bold relief:
1-Knockouts appear to be the
motif of the 1887 Simon Pure slug
gers.
Forty-one "a fraction less than
one third of the bouths ended IN
knockouts, either Of the technical
or full-count variety. Which proved
that the boys weren't fooling. On
the contrary, the larruping lads
practically threw everything at each
other that wasn't nailed down.
Fistic dynimite exploded all over
huge Boston Garden, more than
satisfying the most blood-thrsty
of the 3,705 cash customers who
paid a gross of $4,842 and a net OF
s., 1908 to see the trials.
Negro battlers were conspicuous
by their brilliant performances and
their abundance, there being dark
skinned representative in virtually
every bout - or so it seemed. 1t
was work enough watching bouts
going on simultaneously in two
rings without trying to count the
combatantS by race, creed or color.
Anyway, ebony-skinned fighters
predominated, especially in the
light-heavyweight and heavyweight
classes. Half of the eight quarter
finalists among the 175-pounders
and thret of the eight heavyweight
quarter finalists were negroes.
Most successful team was that
from Detroit. All seven delegates
from the "City of Champions"
reached the quarter finals after par
ticipating in and winning II pre-
liminary battles.
State honors went to Pennsyl-
vania which placed eight men IN
the quarter final bracket while
Massachusetts and Michigan were
next with seven each. Ohio had
five, Indiana and New York -four
each, New Jersey, Hawaii, California
and Nebraska thee each; Maryland
Missouri, Virginia and Oregon two
each and New Mexico, Rhode Island,
New Hampshire, Utah, Oklahoma,
the District of Columbia, Iowa, Kan
sas and North Carolina one each.
starting at p. m, today, reducing
the field to 80 for hte semi-finaS
and finals tomorrow.
From here out, all fighting Will
be confined to one ring, which
should be a sure-cure for rowing
eyes.

came as result of the fine

he insisted on an original COM
