KOuSen Sells
Losing Ticket

Blue Shirt failed to do much
in the running Of the Grand Ma
tional today, but Philip KouSen,
229 Pennsylvania Ave. s. E., didn't
mind much. He had sold his
sweepstakes ticket to a New York
syndicate.
Had he kept the ticket, he would
have received only $4,000. Just
what price he got has not been
disclosed.
It was Mrs. KouSen who In
sisted that he sell the ticket. He
didn't want to do it, having a
hunch that the horse would win,
revealed brother Thomas.
But Mrs. Kousen was inSistent,
And finlaly her husband gave in,
and left last night by plane to
New York. He went to a broker
who handles the tickets. Last
night he telephoned home that he
had sold it, but did not mention
the price he received.
In arguing her husband into
Selling-a move which made them
considerable gain-Mrs. Kousen
pointed out that in a race Of this
kind the horse might fall and be
injured, and then their chances
Of winning would be gone.

BOUTS
IN A. A. U. FINALS
BY BOB ADDE

Like the old crackerjack boxes
in which everybody got a prize.
the pure but honest young men
who will compete in the finals of
the District Amateur Athletic
Union boxing championships at
Turner's Arena tomorrow night
are all assured Of awards.
The winners will be awarded
gold medals and bathrobeS, while
the losers will have to keep warm
with silver medals. Incidentally.
the A. A. U. officials inform us
the gold decorations go for eight
bucks per, while the silver ones
are priced at So. Why, that's less
than Goldie AIearn pays! Oh,
we forgot, it's all for sports sake;
isn't it boys?
Eight bouts are scheduled in
the tournament proper ard six
consolation events will round out
the program. Two special bouts
will bring together Danny Petro
and Paul Coackley. two 90-pound
kids who fought in the ftnalS Of
the junior tournament a couple
of weeks ago. Danny won a dis
puted decision that night and
Paul like to cried, just like a real
pro. Another bout will bring to-
gether Joe and Jim DiStrito, a
couple of 60-pound brothers who
will settle their family differences
with pillows. The boys are sons
of the Arenas blind peanut
vendor.
A sure bet for a title, from this
point looks to be Ovid Mickey"
Crider, Fort Belvoir soldier.
Mickey has been marching right
through the featherweignr di-
vision but maybe Charlie Alexan-
der, his finalist opponent. will
make Crider come to parade rest.
Tickets for the event are On sale
at Turner's Arena, and A. G.
Spaulding's. Prices are IS cents
and $1.10. Children will be ad-
mitted for IS cents. We'd advise
you prospective clients to get
there early because the bandbox
arena will be crammed like @ Sar-
dimes dormitory around 8 o'clock
tomorrow night.

a short-lived lead and then Sir
Francis Towle's fancied jumper,
Airgead Sios, forged to the front.
The latter kept ahead until he
fell at the treacherouS ditch and
fence on the eleventh jump. All
this time the Irish horse was
closely pressed by Delachance,
Royal Danieli and Red Knight.
At no time during the race was
Royal Mail among the first five.
All took formidable Becher's
Brook successfully on the first
time around. At the Canal Turn,
just before the main stands, Air
gead Sios was still leading with
Royal Danieli and Lough Cottage
close behind.
When Airgead fell, Red Knight
had forged forward to take the
lead with Royal Daniel two
lengths behind. Royal Danieli
proved the superior horse and
went into the lead.
BATLESHIP HOLDS CLOSE
Meanwhile, Battleship was max
ing his courageous bid. The gal
liant little American horse, one Of
the smallest in the race, gave the
racegoers the thrill of q lifetime.
After proving refractory at the
starting post he never did put a
foot wrong and jumped the fences
like a veteran.
AS the field came in toward the
big grandStand and took the water
jumps, which only have to be
negotiated once, Delachance,
Lough Cottage and Dunhill Castle
were battling it out for Royal
Danieli's lead.
WINNER GOES UP
Getting on toward Becher's,
well into the second time around,
Jockey Hobbs began to give Bat
tleship the gun and the little
American horse went up. At the
treacherous turns between Bech-
er's and Valentines, BattleShip
was neck and neck with Royal
Danieli, closely followed by Della
chance.
Then there was a long gap, with
Workman q couple Of lengths be-
hind, then Lough Cottage and
Red Knight, with lengthy dis
tances between them.
Now past the royal box, only a

ticket, and that she almost sold
a half interest yesterday.
BROKER GETS IRATE!
She went to New York and saw
a ticket broker. asking $4,000 for
a half interest. The broker offered
her $4,100, and when she said she
had consulted a lawyer and should
receive more than that, he grew
irate and refused to purchase the
ticket at any price.
She returned to Washington to
find that she had made money
by retaining the ticket. She eX
planned:
"After last night, I didn't care
who won the race, / had wor.
ried before that-in fact I lost
five pounds during the last
week.
II named my ticket Toby
after my dog. And am going
to give him a new harness and
some beef as his share in the
winning"
Miss Barry said she had made
no plans about spending the
money, and had no idea of mar.

boy friend, she admitted, although
she purchased the ticket through
Carleton Walsh, a friend. Others

FOR DIZZINESS
BY BOB ADDK

The Club Goofy," otherwise
known as Turner's Arena, Is
rapidly taking its place as one Of
the more prominent lunacy Sani-
toriums for discontented brain
cells. If they keep running wreS-
ting shows out at Fourteenth
Street palace of muscle, the joint
will be taken over as a laboratory
for psychopathic misanthropeS.
Gaze upon the casualty list to-
day, me heartieS, then sue me.
There were two wrestlers hurt
last night: the bald-headed gen.
Itleman who takes all comers got
competition from several other
customers, and a referee awarded
a bout to one Of the contestants
because he (the referee) had alb
sorbed few dozen body slams.
SUFFERS CONCLUSION
The two grapplers who were
injured were Pancho Valdez and
Sammy Cohen. Valdez suffered q
slight conclusion when Orville
Brown squeezed his head like an
orange in a deadlock. Pancho col
lapSed and was under q doctors
care for more than an hour.
Cohen was severely burned by
one of the more playful fans who
can't take a joke. When Cohen
lost to DR.. John "Dropkick"
Murphy. the fan rushed UP to
Sammy and buried lighted cigar
in the fleshy folds of Cohens
armpit.
The referee who got disgusted
from flying around without a
trapeze was Benny Bortnick who
was twirled about by Chief Sa-
nooke. Ben lost his patience and
awarded the bout to Dean Detton.
A lot of hits, no runs and one
assist.
The featured bouts went off on
schedule. DR.. Murphy pinned
Cohen after a series Of dropkicks
and Detton won on a foul from
Chief Sanooke. The doctor put
on his usual spectacular show but
he was up against tougher COM
petition. At one point, both
Murphy and Cohen fell out Of the
ring but Johns dropkicking served
him in good stead and he won In
81 minutes.
DETTON EXTENDED
Detton really had q hard time
with Sanooke who towers about
six feet seven inches and weighs
$40 pounds. The Chief was as
hard to bulge as the washington
Monument and Dean gave up try
ing to throw him and started to
take him apart in sections. At one
point, Sanooke went hurtling out
Of the ring and the ensuing earth
quake was terrific. But Detton
won the match when Bortnick, in
trying to reason with the Chief
for some illegal holds, was pasted
on the canvas. Benny promptly
disqualified Sanooke and Dean
was allowed to claim victory.
Brown crushed Valdes in II
minutes. Hymie '"The Terrible"
Olson kept his record clean by
losing another match, this time to
Harry Man Mountain" Jacobs.
Harry is beefy party and if that's
the way some of our mountains
are constructed fear for a land |

fully muddy. In the other bout, |

and a burnt arm. You call it mad |
