Dusek Victory Thrills Mat Fans

the bout was one of the most in
teresting seen in a District ring
this season.
Only once did anyone fly out of
the ring and then, unfortunately,
it was Dusek who did the hurting
with Danno being propelled half
way into the press bench. Whether
it was fate or coincidence, OMa-
honey landed right in your cor
respondents lap. This was odd
because we had been teasing Ernie
for the past few days. After the
bout, DuSek Solemnly assured us it
was all an accident.
Anyway, the perspiring athletes
bedeviled each other with flying
tackles, leg holds, wrist locks and
body slams. The end came after
Danno had been having a won
derful time Tipping Ernie all over
the premises. Dusek suddenly
clutched Danno in a flying sciS-
sors and kept the Irishman on

The loss, incidentally, was the
first O'Mahoney has ever suffered
in Washington and evened the
score for the Dusek family. Ernie's
brother Joe lost to Danno last
time out.
In the other bouts, Cliff Olson
pinned Ed Pippons; Paul Bosch

CUBS MANAGER
STILL IN SADDLE

CHICAGO, July 16 G.N.SD
The managerial situation of the
Chicago Cubs appeared to be as
muddled as ever today, although
the teams three straight wins
over the Philadelphia Phillies ap-
parently had given Charley
Grimm another chance to hang
on to his job.
Cub owner Phil Wrigley had
nothing to add to his statement
that unless the Cubs perked up
and began to play a better brand
Of ball, he'd make some changes
that probably would include the
managership.
1t seemed unlikely, however,
that any move will be made while
the team is winning and local OBJ
servers were of the opinion
Grimm's hold on his job would
be on a day-to-day basis for a
while, or at least until the Cubs
show whether they can win ball
games under Grimm's direction.

new YORK PLANS
OWN SERIES OF
ELIME IN ATIONS
By BOB ADDK

Boxing fans in Washington
have been proceeding blissfully
along the theory that this feather
weight tournament Goldie Ahearn
is staging to produce a successor
to Henry Armstrong is the real
thing. The Pete Scalzo- Tony
Dupre match at Griffith Stadium
Monday night is supposed to be
the second episode of the exciting
serial: Prom Rags to Riches"
1t now develops that Ahearn S

division Of this tournament and
the returns aren't in entirely so
we have no way of knowing how
many other cities are staging
eliminations.
Is 1T TREACHERY?
For instance, Dyckman Oval, in
New York city, announced today
that q match had been tenta-
lively closed between joey Archi-
bald and Mike Belloise for Aug
ust !. Aren't those names famil-
lar? Why, of course. They were
the first contestants in Wash
ington's elimination" and Archi-
bald wen a disputed decision.
On the strength of the fanfare
about the divergence of opinion,
the New Workers are about to step
in and grab a choice match.
Archibald couldn't have picked a
street fight in New York q few
months ago. He came to Washing

the chances are he and his man.
ager, AL WE'LL, will give our fair
city a pitch"
This angle was suggested to
Ahearn today, but Goldie, always
one step ahead Of the opposition,
said WE'LL had promised to let
Archibald fight only in this
branch of the eliminations. New
York not only has billed the pros
pective Archibald-Belloise fight as
an elimination, it has gone
further and announced the Nat
Litfin and AL Reid bout will be
the first of a series.
A BIT SCRAMBLED
# this sounds sort of scrambled,
we'll review the bids. The Reid
Litfin fight was nothing but a
New York neighborhood brawl
scheduled for July 18. Then
Archibald beat Belloise and imme-
diately the whole business became
an elimination" series. Now,
let's hear from the National Box
ing Association. Has it given its
consent to all these "elimina-
tionS?"
Scalzo, by the way, has defeated
both Reid and Ltfin, so Petey's
claim should bear the most weight
provided Dupre is successfully
hurdled. The latter is condition
ing himself by training with Little
Jack Sharkey, who has fought
Scalzo. Dupre defeated Dave
Crawford in Montreal last week,
but Scalzo holds a two-round
knockout over Crawford. Both
Dupre and Scalzo have fought
Reid. Pete defeated AL, but Tony
lost the decision.
From this corner, it appears as

HUNT FAVORED.
over MULLOY IN
ND. NET FINAL
BY Lillian RIXEY

BALTIMORE, July 16.-Gil
Hunt, WaShington's ace racket
wielder, will have to step out Of
his role Of "Strolling player"
when he meets young Gardner
Mulloy, national clay courts run
nerup, in the finals today of the
Maryland State championship at
the Baltimore Country Club.
Young Mulloy, who graduated
this June from the University of
Miami, yesterday eliminated Hal
Surface, sixth ranking national
player, in a five-Set match which
lasted for 3 hours and is min
utes. During his semifinals set-to
yesterday, Gardner matched stroke
for stroke with Surfaces we'll
rounded game. He can line drive,
he can chop when he has to and
his smash at the net is ungettable,
not to mention the fact that he
covers the court like the morning
dew with his lean, muscular legs.
PLAYED HIS BEST
In the face of his opponents col
lapse in the fourth set yesterday,
Mulloy kept his steely nerve and
his wits about him. Most young
players would have gone tempera-
mental or nervy, but not Mulloy.
Since Surface elected to continue
the match, though obviously in
pain from a cramp in his side,
Gardner did him the courtesy of
playing his best, which probably
would have been good enough to
win even if Surface hadn't been
ailing.
Gardner's style, as opposed to
Gil Hunts is unorthodox. His
forehand drive is powerful, with
plenty Of top-spin, but his grip on
the racket verges on the hair
brush, without the weakness that
term implies. Hunts style, on the
contrary, is perfection to watch,
with the possible reservation that
his timing is a trifle slow.
Most spectators watching Hunt
play for the first time think either
that he is about to collapse from
fatigue or ennui or else that he is
too lazy to chase a ball. That
deceptive appearance S due to the
smoothness of Hunts game. Most
of the time he seems to be Looping
casually about the court, but when
he needs a point, he can drive
those slightly bowed legs up to the
net for a drop shot with the best
of them.
GREAT FIELD
With Mulloy as an opponent in
the finals, instead of the veteran
Hal Surface, Hunt stands a better
chance of winning from the best
field of tennis players that the
Maryland State championship has
attracted in many a day. All Of
the Canadian Davis Cup players
have fallen by the wayside; so has
Frank Kovacs, of California, as
well as Hal Surface, who was
seeded No. l in the tournament
to Hunts No. 2.
Surface might have worn Hunt
down with his alternate cross
court cuts and drop shots, but
the match between Hunt and Null
10y today will be a battle between
two sure-footed base-line drivers
pounding them back and forth
at each other with an occasional
net rush.
Today'S pairings:
2:16-singles finals: Gilbert Hunt vs.
Gardner Mulloy.
4:0O-Doubles semifinals: ]. McDiar-
mid and e. Sutter VS.. Elwood Cooke and

cree Benny Bortnick to count the

MORE ODDITIES
Another unusual feature of the
match was that there was no
brawl after the match. Usually
the victim stomps in high dud-
geon while the winner demurely
keeps his distance and shows the
crowd what perfect sportsman
he Is while the other guy is a
sorehead. The boys actually shook
hands.
