ONCE UPON MARCH 18th !:


There should be monument some
where to George Loveless and five
other men of Tolpuddle, Dorset, Eng
land, who became organized labor's
first martyrs, 1O4 years ago today.
The six men of Tolpuddle were
condemned to seven years in jail for
having formed a laborers' union in
which an oath was taken. This was
constructed by the government and
the court as "seditious action" and
a criminal and fearful spirit of
combination"
There had been no disturbance. All
were of irreproachable character
They had gone about their organic
ing peaceably and their strongest de-
mand was a wage of $3.50 week.
Like Homer Martin, president of to-
DAVIS Auto Workers Union, Loveless,
the laborers' leader, was minister.
At the very time of the la!borers
trial sympathy for the American Ne
gro slave was at it's peak in England.
The English laiborer working full
time for seven shillings a week, was
worse fed than any Southern slave.
The English laborer lived on pota-
toes and turnips and a little bread.
During the year in many laborer's
howell there was never taste of
meat.
A brave editor saw to it that the
conviction of the laborers' became
known and discussed throughout Brit

2. General Andrew Jackson, born
in North Carolina, in 1915 was fined
$1,000 few days after he had won
the Battle of New Orleans. At that
time General Jackson, holding the
city under martial law had citizen
arrested because of newspaper ar
ticle protesting his action. Federal
Judge Hall issued a writ of habeas
corpus for the release Of this citizen,
and General Jackson not only refused
to obey the writ but had Judge Hall
arrested and sent five miles beyond
the city limits and released. Two days
later official notice was received of a
treaty of peace having been signed
with England. Judge Hall came again
into power and placed a fine of 81, 900
on Jackson, which was paid. In 1874
after General Jackson had served two
terms as president of the United
States, congress voted to remit this
fine with interest, and the total a.
mount was $2,732. The North Carolina

thing can happen in golf. It's the one
game you never can tell anything
about. Chief surprise of the opening
round was the 10Th hole victory
achieved by Ralph S. Fowler of WASH
ington over smooth-putting Jim Gipe,
medalist in the tourney. Ralph hung
on until he was dormie 2 up. dropped
the l7th and 18th and then won the
extra hole with a par 4.
The medalist lives a rough life
in these tournaments.
Usually he is bumped of early and
seldom does he win
Perhaps the main surprise of the
tourney is Eddie Rice. The young
man has played in golf tournaments
before, but he never has done anything
much around Washington. He has
the game to win If he produces it at
the right time, as he did to lick WASH
ington club champ Joe Baldwin on the
goth hole in the second round.
Ringer in Any Flight.
Beloved old Cy Cummings used to
relate how there was a ringer in every
flight, guy who shot 10 strokes or
more in match play below his medal
score. You couldn't exactly call the
District amateur champion OF 1920 a
ringer, nor would Bob Finkelsteadt
like it. Out of golf for q long time
Bob played in the tourney and quali-
fled in the fourth flight with an IS.
And then he shocked himself and
almost flabbergasted his flrst-round
opponent by getting back to his 1920
form with one-over-par II. But
I got back on my game later" laughed
Bob" and took IS again.

GEv|NSON, SARR0N
GRAVY BOYS HERE
Fight on May 19 Only Big
One Now Scheduled for
Outdoor Campaign.

Washington will witness at least
one outstanding fight ut drifnth Sta
dunn this summer. when Petey sar-
ron, former world featherweisht
champion, collides with Lou 0evin-
son, local lightweight, in . 10-round
bout May 10, but beyond that Match
maker Goldie Ahearn Is making no
promises.
A proposed battle involving Sixto
Escobar. world bantamweight cham
pion. and the popular Joey Archibald
for the 11s-pound title apparently has
slithered into oblivion, while broken
arm suffered by Phil Fur In training
forestalls the possibility Of his meet
ing George Abrams for at least two
months.
Big Boost for Rang Here.
In signing sarron and Gevinson,
however. Ahearn has snatched one Of
the best possible matches for this
sector. It was in May, 1896, that
sarron lifted the featherweieht crown
from Freddy Miller here before q, 900
spectators. and paired with the ex-
tremely popular Gevinson, Petey again

expected to reach sizeable propor-
tions.
Sarron, now campaigning as light
weight following his defeat by Henry
Armstrong, current 126-pound ruler,
has been ignored in ratings released
by the National Boxing Association
due to the poor caliber Of his 1885,
pound opponents. Petey still is nurs-
ing hopes Of enticing Lou Ambers,
lightweight champion, into the same
ring bout promised him by New
York's Mike Jacobs some months ago.
Gevinson Is Serious.
Prices for the Gevinson bout here,
which las been brewing for more than
. year. will range from So ringside to
81 general admission, plus tax, with
sarron taking rs per cent and Gevin-
son 22h per cent Of the net receipts.
Last August Jimmy Erwin, Petey's
manager. rejected . $4,000 offer by
Ahearn for Sarron to jeopardize his
title against the local Jewish lad, but
the match fell through when Sarron
signed to meet Armstrong for $4,000,
Gevinson. who requested 4 l5-round
argument. has been in training for sew
eral weeks. while Sarron is expected
to arrive here Monday after pre-
liminary training at Birmingham, Ala.

TIGER GRID SQUAD
SPIRITED, STRONG
More Enthusiastic Than 81
Group-Austin Playing
Tennis for Fun.
By LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, May 6.-Contrast be-
tween the games which marked the
fnal day Of spring practice at Prince
ton in 1887 and this spring was so
marked as strongly to impress quail
ified judges Of football who saw the
Tigers in their concluding workouts in
both years.
One eleven in the closing tilt this
year was made up of freshmen, who
will be sophomore candidates next fall,
and the other was composed Of those
who will be juniors and seniors. Grizzly
noticeable was the extremely hard and
accurate tackling of both teams, the
quick, knitting line charge and the pre-
cision with which players we're blocked
out.
Princeton Spirit High.
One caught very definitely spirit of
enthusiasm as players who enjoyed
giving hard knocks and did not mind
taking them. In this respect, Tad VIE
man and his assistants already have
accomplished signal task
The ball was put into play for a sin
gle wingback formation and unbal-
anced line; no preliminary shift hocus-
pocus such as marked Fritz Crisler's S
teams
Watching the two elevens. impress
sion was clearly established that Mas
sau next fall will have a big, rugged,
hard-hitting team with many players
Of sufficiently high grade to make trou-
bic for any opponent
AS to the workout which concluded
spring practice in 1887, 1t sufficeS to
say that the character of play, de-
meanor Of the players and quality Of
material were not nearly so impressive
Austin Through" at Net.
Defeat of Bunny Austin, English
tennis ace. by Kho Sin Kie, Chinese
Davis Cup player, in the British hard
court championships at Bournemouth,
is accepted by Davis Cup authorities
In this country as confirming the
sincerity of Austin's announced retire.
ment from Davis Cup play.
II Austin really were in mood and
condition for tourney play this year, a
player of Kie's class would hardly have
beaten him. even granting that the
English veteran is more at home on
grass courts than on clay and has not
as rule attained top form until July.
This Kho Sin Kie, 1t seems, was
reared in India and learned the game
there. As a member of the 1887
Chinese Davis Cup team, which was
defeated by France in the first round
Of European zone play, he did not win
q match.
Arthur Wallis Myers, the English
