CLEARF1ELD, Pa, Aug. 20.
The name of C. o. McNamee goes
down on the books for a peculiar
golf shot. Playing the fourth
hole on the Clearfield golf course,
McNamee got off a powerful tee
shot which went 200 yards or so.
It was a slice, though, and Nc
Nance eventually found his bail
in the cup on the eighth green.

Turner's Arena. He's AZ now and
time has padded the lean figure
with flesh. Dempsey was supposed
to spar with his newest protege
Bill Boyd, who meets Billy Nichey
at Griffith Stadium Monday night
Actually, there wasn't m u h
sparring done because Dempsey
was only posing for pictures. But
Jack is instructing Boyd in the ia.
nous weave that thrilled millions
of fight fans.
Dempsey's legs are as slim as
ever. He was never a big heavy
weight and except for an added
inch in height, the semibald Boyd
could pass for Jacks fighting
double. You can see it when he
moves-the quick, springy steps
the bobbing body and the short
hooks.
For one brief second, while they
were posing, Dempsey let go a
little bit and he was like an old
fire horse. He moved fast; he
ducked, slipped and countered
But time was holding him on a
leash and the sting went out OF
his punches while he threw his
gloves harmlessly.
TEACHES BOYD
Dempsey is teaching Boyd how
to Charge" He had Trainer
Benny Benjamin hold up a broom
for a target as he showed Boyd
how to hook to the h e a d and
throw punches from crouch. Old
Jack took the play away from his
young protege and like father
who, absorbed in his child's toys,
starts playing himself. Dempsey
did all the moving and punching
Jack caught a plane here and
caught another one out almost
Immediately. He will return to
Baltimore late today. Boyd is
training on a farm just outside
Baltimore and after each workout
Dempsey takes him aside for an
hours instruction.
Nichey. who took Buck Everett's
place when the latter was knocked
out by Melio Bettini, Thursday
night, is a native of Charleroi, Pa.
Nichey las fought here several
times and has defeated men like
AL Delaney, New England heavy
weight champion, Eddie Nader.
Ollie Anderson and Billy Ketchell.
According to Matchmaker Col
die Ahearn, Nichey is just the man
to test the sensational Boyd who
has scored 20 knockouts in 21
fights. Eichey is rough, tough
scrapper, again according to
Ahearn, who is not in the least
afraid of Boyd's reputation. If
Boyd is half the fighter his mana
ger is, he need not worry about
collecting his old age pension. He
won't need it.

the first fight after he had lost his

pretty fair heavyweight-Jack
Sharkey at the Yankee Stadium

nervous. He didn't stop to pick

that was all right. He was on his

Then that thrilling, ecstatic mo-

skins TO PLAY
BY CHIC KENNY

Waivers have been asked on
Irwin Gilbreath, 208-pound Univer-
sity of Texas fullback rookie by
the Washington Redskins, cham
pions of the National Professional
League. Notice was sent out last
night to the nine member clubs
and it is expected to be known
sometime Monday whether or not
this hard-plunging Longhorn will
don the moleskins of a rival team.
The waiver price is $40.
At the same time Coach Ray
Flaherty announced the lineups
for the all-important game tomor-
row afternoon in the Ballston
Stadium, Arlington, Va. On paper
the squad is evenly divided, but
whether or not this is a concrete
fact, will not be decided until after
the game has been played. Flah-
erty will be at the helm of the "A"
team, while Assistant Coach Roy
Baker will command the "B" out
fit. The game will be a red-letter
tussle for no less than thirteen
members of the squad.
MUST MAKE GOOD
To the coaches, the unlucky
thirteen who fail to impress in the
battle of paychecks tomorrow, will
be notified of their release Mon
day.
Gilbreath, upon whom the
waivers have been asked is listed
for duty with the "A" team. Should
he prove his mettle in the mayhem
melee tomorrow afternoon, the
chances are the waivers will be
recalled.
Mickey Parks, recruit center
from Oklahoma, holds the unique
distinction of playing with both
teams, opening with the "a"
squad the first half and then NOV
ing over to the "B" team for the
remainder of the fray.

Redskin management. The gates

Found Drowned IN BatI,tub

Apology for
Trouble.

Mrs. Marie Tomlinson, 38, a clerk
in the Loans and Currency Division
Of the Treasury Department, was
found dead today in bath tub in
the home of her brother and sister-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph F. Clark,
1915 Eighth street NV.
Her body was discovered by Mrs.
Clark completely submerged in the
tub. Mrs. Tomlinson's feet were tied
together. and she was lying on her
right side. with her knees doubled up.
An empty package which had con-
tanned sleeping drug was found in
the bathroom by Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald, who was summoned to
the home. DR.. Macdonald said he
would not issue death certificate un-
til he had finally determined the ex-
act cause of death.
Mrs. Clark discovered the tragedy
when she returned from market this
morning. She told police that when
she left her home she heard Mrs
Tomlinson running water in the tub
and assumed she was preparing to
take bath.
Mrs. Clark was gone about an hour,
she said. When she found her sister
in-law, she called to neighbors, who
summoned the rescue squad. Resusci-
tation efforts were unsuccessful, how
| ever.
Authorities said they found a note
in which Mrs. Tomlinson said she
couldn't go on" apologized to her
sister-in-law for the trouble she
caused and asked her forgiveness.
Mrs. Tomlinson, who lived at 3019
Georgia avenue NV, came to Mrs.
Clark's home last night, saying she
wanted "a quiet place to stay" police
were told. About 10 weeks ago she
had suffered nervous breakdown and
had been in i'll health since that time,
Mrs Clark said. A few nights ago
she had visited the home of another
brother, John Clark, in Bethesda, Md,
she told police.
Mrs. Tomlinson's husband, Bernard
Tomlinson, is a conductor for the

Division, where Mrs. Tomlinson had
been employed for the last 18 years,

popular.
Friends said she had worked un-
usually hard last year and that she
had been forced to stay away from

Mrs. Tomlinson had been married
20 years. She had no children. Her
mother said that during her illness
she had talked about suicide several

Representative Conner Smith, a

little about the Presidents visit.
Mayor Frank Martin estimated
150, 900 would hear the Presidents ad-

along the route OF his parade from
the train.
As the Presidents special train sped
toward Oklahoma, it became evident
that this is more than back-patting
expedition.
The nature of the talks in Ohio and
Kentucky today indicated this series OF
speeches would, before it ended, cover
most of the controversial phases. If SO
the critics said agricultural relief, re-
organization, ETC., are still to come.
For example, the address at Marietta
Ohio, served, they pointed out, not
only to dedicate memorial to pioneers
