will be heard across the Maryland

pitable Bowie opens its gates for

the eastern racing season.

The most popular phase Of
American racing today, the daily

the single wager being coupled on
the outcome Of the first and
second races.
During the dozen days of rae

STAR GOLFERS
TO TEE OFF IN
MASTERS MEET
By WILLIAM G. GAUDET


AUGUSTA, Ca, March 81
Q.N.S0.-An eyes were on Robert
II. Bobby 'Jones-the perennial
enigma of the masters tourney
as more than half a hundred OF
Americas leading golfers teed off
today in practice rounds for the
grand finale OF the winters golf
ing circuit.
Despite the fact that in four
previous tournaments, Bobby has
never been able to better than tie
for the thirteenth place, he has
been a constant threat with Siz-
zling sub-par practice rounds.
And this year is no exception,
for he went out on the course yes
terday and chalked up a two
under-par 10 which, although not
equal to his record-breaking Sc
practice round of last year, was
sufficiently low to give his COM
petitors a good cause OF pre-
tourney filters.
FAILED TO KEEP PACE
Four times in the past the for
mer grand-slam champion has
gone to the post in the tourna-
ment he originated, and in every
instance he has failed to keep
pace with the professionals.
But with the scalp of old man
par on his belt once more, the
question is always:
Can Bobby come back?" z
If the money winnings are any
indication. a quartet of the games
best stylists should be grouped to-
gether as faVorites to win this
years event. Such a quartet would
include Johnny Revolta, of Evans
ton, Ill; Harry Cooper, of Chico
pee, Mass; Jimmy Thomson, OF
Shawnee, Pa, and youthful
Sammy Snead, Of White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va.
NELSON A THREAT
Then, too, there is the tall, reti-
cent Byron Nelson, the Reading,
Pa, professional whose bliStering
Sc paved the way for him to win
last season.
Horton Smith, of CHICAGO, who
twice has won the tournament, is
another of the entrants and again
will be one of the heavily conSid'
cred favorites. In addition to these
there are at least a score whose
game, if it gets hot, will carry
them to the championship and the
purse of $500.

MAURY NEE TOPS

Maury Nee, former Georgetown
Prep all-around athlete, continued
to lead in the qualifying rounds
for places on the Georgetown var
Sity golf team, as he carded a "A

Congressional Country Club yes
terday for a 36-hole total of 148.
One stroke behind is Willie
Shea, District and Middle Atlantic
champion who duplicated Shea's
feat yesterday with a IA. Third
in line is Johnny Burke, former
Rhode Island State amateur and
open champion, who carded a n

Louis Ready to Defend
Title Against Thomas

There is only one fly in the
ointment of this well conceived
plan, and that is that Harry's
own open style of fighting makes
him as hard to miss as a boule-
ward signboard.
What Louis is likely to be do
ing while Harry seeks the all
important opening is a ques-
ton upon which virtually all
fans concur. The challenger,
however, is not rated hopeless.
He has hit hard during work
outs, and his courage is I'm.
denied.
Advance estimates on the bout,
which has been arranged as a
warm-up for Joe'S return scrap
with Max Schmeling, indicate
$685. 900 in tickets already have
passed over the counter. The
gate may reach 100000.
1t is believed both champion
and challenger will employ
rushing tactics, as Louis had
reason to repent of cautious
starting after the Schmeling
bout, and from Thomas stand
point anything can happen in a
melee.

Allen Powell, of the Lewis

Captain Fletcher reports that
the upper Potomac is in excel
lent condition for white perch,
the recent rains having in no
way discolored the water. Joe

Heavyweight Fight Champion
Joe Louis sparring partners
breathed easier today as Joe
slackened workouts for his de-
tense of his title tomorrow
night against Harry Thomas.
The Brown Bomber's cannon
fodder has seen rather rough
going the last few days as
Louis flashed into top form in
strenuous practice bouts. He is
declared near his peak for the
stadium clash, in which the
challenger rates at best, only a
chance of showing himself a
good loser.
FLAW IN PLAN
Thomas also held his final
workout prior to the bout.
Harry hopes the champion will
leave a sufficient expanse of his
anatomy undefended so that he
can land his right before the

Leo KATALINAS
RATED AS BEST
HEAVYWEIGHT
BY BOB ADDE

CHARLoTTESVI VILE, Va,
March 31.-At least two local
boxers. Leo Katalinas Of Catholic
University, and Benny Alperstein
Of Maryland, are favored to win
titles in the National Collegiate
Athletic Association tournament
which starts here this afternoon.
Katalinas is rated the outstand-
ing heavyweight in the tourney
while Alperstein is expected to en-
counter little trouble annexing the
featherweight title. "Kats'' has
been working hard and is in
splendid condition. In a recent
workout he floored a well-known
professional boxer and an i'm
provement in his style should
make him a cinch to win.
CHARGES STYLE
Eddie LaFond, Catholic U.
coach, decided Katalinas was off
balance and leaning back too far
on his right foot. I,aFond now
has Leo on his toes, ready to hit
with either hand without sacrific-
ing power.
Alperstein, who won the 1885,
pound championship last year, is
fighting in the 125-pound class in
this tournament. Benny has al
ways scaled 100 and in the South
ern Conference tourney, Heinie
Miller, Maryland coach, decided
to let Alperstein make the feath-
erweight limit. Benny did it with
out trouble and won the title.
In addition to Katalinas, Cath
Ole University is represented by
Davey Bernstein, lis pounds;
Fred Slant, 1856 pounds, and Jay
Turner, ITS pounds. Both Bern
stein and Slant have an excel
lent chance for the titles, but
competition will be much keener
in their divisions. In the u.s.
pound class, for instance, is Ralph
Miller, captain Of Idaho's team
and Pacific Coast Conference
champion.
RIVALS MAY MEET
The luck of the draw may pit
Slant against Paul AEhman of
Pittsburgh. It may be recalled
AShman won a disputed decision
over Slant when Pitt boxed the
Cardinals at the Brooklyn gym
last month.
Little hope of surviving the
preliminaries Is held for Turner.
Jay, however, has a good punch
and will chill anyone he hits. The
only trouble is that Turner has
the open door policy and takes
quite a few good ticks before de-
livering his own wallops. Too, Tur.
ner will be up against men like
Carl Killion, of Idaho, who is also
a Pacific Coast titleholder, and

There must be a punch in the

last season, which was only four
percentage points behind the New
York Yankees. But if ever ball
club threatened to develop into a
band of hitless wonders, it is the
current Washington ball club as it
has shown against major league
competition this spring.
Bucky Harris, driven to deSpera-
ton by the inability of the team
to score, has decided to shift his
lineup for the game with Chat

day. He will carry on with the
new alignment until he fails to
produce results. Then he will try
something else.
