A DOYLE Still Active.

A Doyle Still Active.
CPEAKING Of Connie moves us to
say that II there were any two
buster men on Washington's courts
Saturday than Doyle's brother Lou
and little Felix Silva. this observer
can't imagine where they could have
been.
Both Of these gentlemen had the
important and unenviable job Of set
ting The Stars City of Washington
tournament for men in motion and If
you ever have the job Of registering,
collecting entrance fees, handing out
receipts, introducing opponents, giving
balls and assigning courts for tennis
tournament, don't do it without either
or both of these men!
It's little amazing how
much detail there is to getting
large tournament under way,
yet the facility with which it is
accomplished by men who know
how is just as surprising.
That not one squawk came from
any of the 80 entrants is a tribute to
Louis 1. Doyle and Felix Silva.

TOPDRAW|NGCARD
New Boxing Pro Likely to
Lure More Fans Than
Featured Fighters.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

- AUGED strictly by his profes-
sional performances to date,
Lou Gevinson perhaps does
~ not warrant spot on the
police benefit boxing card Wednes-
day night, yet, fantastic as it may
sound, the sharp-faced Jewish lad
who has fought only four pro scraps
doubtless will lure more ringworms
to Griffith Stadium than any OF the
nine other featured fighters.
Having served a stretch OF five
years in amateur ranks, GevinSon
somewhere along the route to pro-
fessionalism picked up that highly
valuable sports commodity known as
ycolor. Not the burlesque type Of
color manufactured by Max Baer or
Dizzy Dean, but a blend of native
ability, craftsmanship, modesty and
sense of decency chiefly is the reason
for LOUIS crowd appeal.
Lou's cardinal virtue, it seems, is
the fact that he never has made an
unsportSmanlike gesture in the ring.
The fans, many of whom have seen
1i4liI aN NCloP SllISC liIS AZ oU IlSlllS 40
an amateur. apparently like it, plus,
of course, the expectant thrill of a
knockout which Gevinson's fists pro-
duce so often.
LOUIS Record Unimpressive.
THE colony of Gevinson supporters
are convinced he eventually will
~ lo ho 10 in, v,ly
ignoring his rather feeble pro record
thus far and concentrating on his
punching proves, which, they argue
Is bound to find the range with more
effectiveness with bit more expert
ence among the paid clan.
The 22-year-old Gevinson chilled
Al Schaefer and Beny Wittler in his
first two professional engagements
but Stepinfechit would have been a
6-5 favorite to do the same thing.
Lou then gave the ringWorm Joe
Temes a severe Shellacking in his
first actual test. This small portion
Of prestige served as a shot of strych-
nine to his boosters. Lou apparently
was on his way.
So doubtful was the caliber OF his
next opponent, Johnny Pena, that the
District Boxing Commission received
% letters urging the bout be banned
because OF Johnnys alleged punch
drunkenness and general fistic inef-
flciency. At least % persons made a
mistake, however, for the accused Mr.
Pena Immediately vindicated himself
by capturing l0-round decision from
our Lou.
LOUIS reputation didn't suffer. His
army of followers, who doubted his
ability to take it, now were convinced
he could absorb punishment as well
as inflict it. On the other side OF the
ledger, however is the fact that Pena
detected flaw in Lcu's fighting form
and employed it as method of trim
ming Gevinson.

Connie Thought Ahead,

CONNIE not only used to plan his
battle days, and sometimes just
the night before, but also while warm
ing up with his opponent.
II wonder If warm-up rallies
mean the same thing to the
player today that they did to
him 20 years ago? Often he told
me that he would discover an
opponents weakness inside OF
five minutes, just through the
apparently perfunctory warm
up.
He'd hit ball to a certain spot,
and If the opponent missed, he'd hit
it there again, just to see whether
that was weakness or a momentary
lapse. There wasn't much that Con-
ME didn't take advantage OF to
further his game. If today's players
utilized all their advantages, we

have cost him trip to Europe with

by having to risk the title on the

AS long ago as last Winter Shute
felt he would win again. He captured
the title In November and the P. G. A.
made him "short-term" champion
by scheduling this years fixture in
May. He Was set on retaining it.
Denny conndentially told intimates

me all right. I thought I'd get back
in form just in time for this tourna-
ment, and I did.

Jug played great game and I
" think he deserves a place on the

Shute credited 6-foot putt he
rolled in for half on the thirty
third hole as the turning point OF
the match. 1T kept me from being
dormie three and left me almost my
only opening to win
The tides OF the big battle turned
often. Off to flying start, McSpaden
was three up after five holes. But
Denny rammed home three brides to
turn the quarter pole all square. He
kept up that hot stretch to lead jug
three holes at the midway mark.
Then while Denny temporarily lost
control Of his woods, McSpaden fired
q sub-par "a on the third nine tc
catch up and 60 ahead.
McSpaden finally had Denny two
down and three to 60. But Shute
took the thirty-tourth and thirty
fifth and got his half when jug
failed to get down that importan,
! putt on the thirty y-sixth.

Effective, Although Expensive.

We have a rule (and we're
plenty crowded that players reach
ing the green on short holes must
motion the match behind TO play their
tee shots to the green, and then the
members Of the first match may putt
out. That saves some time but the
double green idea would save q lot
more time.
Look right here. That match
ahead of us could be putting on one
green, while We played to the other
at this fourth hole, and they could
go on while We were putting.
1T sure looks as if it might work
out, but I guess it would be rather
expensive. Where the average course
has four short holes you'd have to
have four more green's, making a to-
tai OF "a green's to keep up instead Of

Repay Loan for
ATHLETIC Field
Project One Of Best in
State and Now Valued
at $500 at Least

The unusual has happened again.
In October, 1888, the KRIS stu
dent body borrowed $3.50 from bus
inessmen along the street to help
finance the new playfield at the
school house. The money was to be
repaid, and two years ago the stu
dent body, which had the project in
charge, managed to pass out checks
for half of the amount borrowed.
Today the other half Of the borrow
ed money was returned.
The money was used to grade and
sod and fence the playfield as well
as to install the cinder track, plant
the trees and erect the bleachers.
Supt. Black estimates that the value
of the plant is at least $500 at the
present time.
The athletic field gives Kenne-
wick one of the best equipped fields
in the eastern Washington section
and places the town in the top rank
among the smaller schools in this
respect.
Management of the field is under
the direction of the student body
which reported a net profit this
year of better than 5000.
