PREP FOR BOUT

PHILADELPHIA, July 8 GIN.
S).-John Henry Lewis, king of
the light heavyweights, today be-
gan training at suburban Leiper-
Vile for his 15-round fight against
Tony Galento, the New Jersey
saloon keeper, on July 26 at the
Philadelphia Municipal Stadium.
I'm glad Tony has been rated
No. l challenger for Joe Louis
crown by the National Boxing AS
sociation," Lewis said. THAT
makes me look pretty good If I
beat him. After this fight, I can't
see how the commissions can
avoid naming me as the man to
fight Louis for the championship"
The roly-poly heavyweight con-
tender also wired assurance to the
Pennsylvania State Boxing Com
mission that reports he was going
to run out" on the fight are un-
founded.

CLEVELAND, July 8 G.N.S).
The Hambletonian, harness rae.
ing's annual classic, today had a
new favorite.
Long Key, who led the field to
the finish line in the $6,185 cham
pionship stallion stake for three
year-old trotters at North Randall
yesterday, not only downed the
competition Of eight other candi-
dates for the classic, but set re-
cord for the fastest three-heat
race ever trotted in the event and
tied the stakes record mile with a
time in the second heat of 2:001a.
The mark was set by Greyhound,
worlds champion trotter. in 1885.

by Ben White, lost the first heat
to Champlain, but came back to
take the next Two.

Wightman Cup Squad" around 81
years old. Mrs. Miller hopes to get
up slightly older group to go
along to Baltimore with the Chick
adees to take on the junior Wight
mans. Most likely candidates are
Willie O'Steen, Charlotte Decker
and Hazel Bishopp.
If there are any young female
tennis stars in the District who
have been hiding their prowess
by modestly playing on the court
next door or in the evening when
spectators are few, Mrs. Miller
would like very much to hear from
them. She is chairman of the
District Tennis Association COM
mittee in charge of embryonic
Wightman and Sears Cup stars,
and the association puts up a GER
tain amount of cash to cover ten
mis- court fees and the purchase
of tennis balls.

young girls OF tennis promise.
Moving spirit in the encourage
ment of feminine players in the
District Is that good-natured vet
eran Of the courts, Mrs. Dorette
Miller. Another veteran widely
known throughout the East is
Teddy Penzold. president of the
Middle Atlantic Association. He
has a group Of young tennis-play-
ing boys, sometimes waggishly
called Teddy's Teddy Bears. The
Teddy Bears represented Norfolk
in the recent Hotchkiss Cup
matches at Columbia and Chevy
Chase.
Since Teddy's Teddy Bears have
become so famous, it would not be
unreasonable to expect that Mrs.
Miller's bevy Of diminutive beau
ties will soon be widely known as
"Dorette's Little Chickadees."
GAIN EXPERIENCE
Next Monday, Dorette's Little
Chickadees are scheduled to play
team match with the best wom-
en- tennis players at the Army,
Navy Club. Mrs. Miller believes
in getting them used to tourna-
ment competition early. YeSter-
day group of our played in the
first round of the District cham
pionship at Columbia, and al
though they didn't get to first
base against their veteran oppo-
nents, it was all for the sake of
experience.
Sometime in the near future
Mrs. Miller will take the Chicka-
dees to Baltimore for team
match. In the group, or ION the
ladder" as Mrs. Miller puts it, are
II youngsters. The top six make
up the team which will play Army,
Navy and later go to Baltimore.
Any member of the squad may
challenge any one of the top six
whom she thinks she can beat,
thus taking a crack at that play
er's position on the squad.
At present dark. stocky Dorothy
Kibler, aged 18 and oldest in the
group, is head of the list. Then
follow Betty Jacobs, Is. who plays
at Montrose Park; Molly Thomp-
son, IA, from Chevy Chase; Ruth
johnson, IA, whose brother David
is on the Junior Davis Cup
squad;" Dorothy Barclay, 16, who
plays at Montrose, and Roselyn
Pope, 16, who also stars at softball
on the Mall.

ARCHIBALD POUT
ON NIB. 4, RATING
BRINGS RETORTS
BY BOB ADDIE

The Mike Belloise-Joey Archi"
bald battle, scheduled for Griffith
Stadium Monday night. has ar
rived at the stick-out-yourtongue
and ooh yeah" stage. An ex.
elusive message from the front
(via carrier pigeon and stage
coach) today brought sharp
retorts to Archibald'S pout about
being placed tenth on the Ma
tional Boxing Associations rating
list for featherweights.
The Patent Leather Kid sailed
the gentlemen who precede3 lIn
on the list several harsh naInGa
which we are obliged to delete,
The mornings mail brought notes
from Tony Dupre and Petey
Scalzo, both of whom said Arcni~
bald was lucky to get in tha flE5l
ten at all.
THE RIGHT RATING
Scalzo, who got the No. 6 slot
on the list. sent an amusing let
ter, the gist of which was that
Archibald got his true rating, in
a way.
AFTER ALL" Petey stated,
that's all Joey is-a tenth
rater and I know for a fact he
wouldn't step into the ring with
me except for q social meeting.
My manager, Pete Re
thought the Archibald match
was hot for Washington but
AL WE'LL (Joey's pilot) evidently
prefers to keep doing business
with those round heels joey has
beaten down there.
Il don't mean they were tank
ers. or anything like that, but
WE'LL has been picking spots for
Archibald, and if joey ever
meets me, he can pick another
spot for his fighter-a soft one
on the canvas.
SEEKS REVENGE
Incidentally, I'm all excited
about this tournament Goldle
Ahearn is staging down there,
and I'd like to get in it. AS you
know, Belloise is the only one
who has defeated me in my
l entire career, and I'd like to
even things with him. I'm not
making any alibis, but had q
bad hand when fought Mike.
I'm okay now, and I'm sure I'll
beat BelloiSe in return match.
Dupre also wondered where
archibald got off at beefing like
that" Tony, incidentally, would
lil-e a crack at Belloise, too. Mike
certainly must be popular-eVery-
body wants to meet him.
BELLOISE CONFIDENT
Belloise was unmoved by the
Archibald blast and said he didn't
care how he was rated.
Possibly Mr.. Archibald may dis
pute this last statement. Anyway.
he'll get his chance to present his
case Monday night. Belloise isn't
terrific puncher but he knows all
there is to know about the bust-
ness. Archibald will have the
punch, but he won't get away with
some of his clownish tactics
against Belloise.
Both boys intend to complete
their training in New York, al
though Matchmaker G ol d ! e
Ahearn would like to have them
on the scene by tomorrow. Ahearn

colored, was given preliminary hear
ing on August 16, before Justice of

From the evidence adduced at the

prior to the killing, when the defen-
dant voiced some slight objection to
this state of affairs, that the de-
ceased had brandished a razor in the
face of the defendant and assured
him that should he try to get his
wife back. he would be separated
into several parts. At the time of
the killing, it appeared that the de-

Of the defendant, and to make his
argument more convincing. he stuck
his hand into his bosom in a threaten
ing manner. as If to draw a gun.
The defendant, who had, by some
chance, a baseball bat in his hand
struck the deceased in the head kill
ing him instantly
The court decided the homicide
was wholly justifiable, and the de-
PENDANT was discharged.

argument had ensued between the
defendant and the deceased in the
rear end of Schrock's Cafe in Tchula
over some drinks that had been or
dered by Frank Kimbrough. During

cafe, reached for d large leather
covered blackjack which was hang
ing on the wall and struck the de-
ceased on the head. After being
struck, Kimbrough walked a short
distance from the cafe and fell dead.

was sufficient provocation for the
blow being struck with the black
jack The case was prosecuted by
Pat Barrett, County Attorney.
