Mann Signed, Ahearn
Visits Baltimore
For Opponent
Seeks Winner of Bottle
Between Robinson and
Boyd Tomorrow

With the signature Of Nathan
Mann on a contract in his pocket
and fairly bursting with excitement,
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn will
visit Baltimore tomorrow night to
seek an opponent for the big fellow
Ahearn will have a beady eye on
the Bill Boyd-Jim Robinson battle,
feature of a card at Carlin's Park.
and will have couple of gnarled
fingers crossed in the hope that
Robinson at least gets decision if
he doesn't win by a knockout.
Robinson already has agreed to
box Mann at Griffith Stadium
August T. but a defeat by Boyd
would sour the match, and in that
event Ahearn would have to coax
Boyd into taking the bout. This
isn't as easy as it sounds for Max
Waxman, who handles Boyd, still
has a mad on for Ahearn, and
secondly is in no mood to expose
his fighter to a bad case of assault
and battery.
Waxman still remembers a little
incident which occurred in Wash
ington when Boyd first appeared
here. He boiled into frenzy and
went back to Jack Dempsey's ham,
burger hut where he holds forth in
New York. to sulk in majestic
silence. Washington would see no
more of Boyd, he said, and he's
kept his word. But time has pla-
Gated Max's feelings, and while he
hasn't forgiven Ahearn completely,
he isn't as bitter as before, and the
match quite conceivably can be
made-if Boyd wins.
But William, who toughened his
hands on mop handle in the
United States Navy, faces formid-
able obstacle in Robinson, one Of
the most promising heavyweights on
the fistic scene-and he has an old
score to settle with Jim. Robinson
belted out Boyd in a couple of
rounds last winter, and since has
won 81 victories in % matches, 13
by knockouts.
Boyd, too, has been winning, and
in Baltimore knocked out Al Ryl
and Mario Llnat to win favor IN that
city. He will be remembered here
for his smashing performance
against Billy Nichy and Buck
Everett. He would be a good op-
ponent for Mann-if he gets over
Robinson, so Goldie hardly can miss
coming back with a good paper
fight, if he signs either man.

To Kay Baker, No. 2 player Of
the league-leading Wardman team,
goes the distinction Of being the
first member of the Women's Tennis
League to complete all her matches.
Three victories last week not only
gave her record of six wins against
one defeat, but enabled her team to
hold its edge over Standards in the

Indian Spring Rated
Hot Golf Foe for
baItimoreans
AII-City Team Deemed
Too Strong to Send
Against Visitors

One week from next Sunday at
Manor Country Club will come up a
links affair that has some signifi-
canoe where Washington amateur
golf is concerned. 1t will be the sec
ond annual team match between
simon pures of Washington and
Baltimore. Last years initial con-
test at the Rolling Road Club turned
out to be runaway for the boys
from the Capital. And this years
affair we'll can be the same way,
although the amateur club swingers
from Baltimore are improving.
Before getting into the meat of
mentioning few golfing names who
might we'll be included on that team,
let's drop a random thought into
the puddle of argument that is
bound to come over the naming of
the local amateur group.
It's this: With Baltimore dem
onstrably weaker than Washington
in amateur golf, why not give them
a chance? And not so much Of a
chance, either. Why not have all
the amateurs from one club-Indian
Spring, for example?
Indian Spring Squad Strong.
That would. at least, remove any
argument about naming the all
Washington team and Indian
Spring could do all right, too. simply
by naming the team which will play
in the Maryland State team matches
next fall.
If that isn't done, any selector of
the team for this match scheduled
on August will have to choose a
flock of Indian Spring members. You
couldn't leave fellows like Roger
Peacock. Buddy Sharkey, Volney
Burnett, Jerry Hart. Ralph Bogart
or Bobby Brownell off any Washing
ton amateur outfit. All of them are
Indian Spring members.
And if the Maryland State Golf
Association. which will run the shows
and sponsor the picking of the Balti-
more team, wants to step out and
get the best, it shouldn't overlook
two or three lads who play the public
courses in Baltimore. Boys like
Eddie Johnston, the new Old Line
State junior open" champ; Arthur
Johnson, Eddie Meyer and Al Hugel-
myer are good enough to get on any
Baltimore amateur team.
Many Stars Available Here.
Selections usually are left to the
newspapermen of the two towns. If
they don't want to let the Indian
Spring team get along with its work
they'll have to choose Harry Pitt OF
Manor, Ralph Quinter of Chevy
Chase, Earl Skinker and Martin Nc
Carthy of Columbia, Comdr. w. S
Popham of Army Navy. Ralph Fow-
Ter of Washington, John Bergelin OF
Kenwood and a few other good
golfers.
But probably that Indian Spring
team would do all right, until Balti-
more gets a better bunch of anna
teurs.

Maryland Open Golf
Title Seems Sure
To Return Here
D. c. Pros Will Flock
To Baltimore to Seek
Crown Gibson Holds

Professional golfers around town,
now without any big-time compete
ton for while, are looking ahead
to August 8 when they'll move over
in body to the Hillendale Country
Club to play for the Maryland open
championship.
In past years that title has b1n
almost exclusively the property of
Washington pros. but Andy Gibson,
the transplanted Scot who holds
down the berth at the Bonnie View
Club of Baltimore IA semi public
course) is the present titleholder.
Andy won it last year at Congress
sional with 36-hole card of 142.
For years the Maryland State
championship has been won by
Washingtonians. AL Houghton won
it four or five times, and Cliff Spen-
Ger took it over in 1887 Gibson's
Baltimore pro in good many years,
and it may be the last for a while.
The Washington professionals quite
definitely are at the crest Of the
boys in the Mid-Atlantic sector.
Will Be 36-Hole Affair.
So the State open championship
is less than three weeks away, and
the boys are gearing their games to
scoring pace that may bring the
title back to the Capital. It will be
played-as usual-over the 36-hole
route, with the winner getting some
thing more than S100 and total prize
money around $400.
Meanwhile, nothing is being done
by the local pros about arranging
a schedule of exhibition matches.
They talked about it earlier in the
year, and were all for it, but just now
most of them are pretty busy and
they say they haven't much time to
play exhibitions. They should get
together and arrange such a sched-
ule, for their own good.
Helps Pro Linksmen.
Here's the way it works: The or
dinary, un-of-the-mine golfer sees
the pros shoot Cts and 68s. To him
the pro is miracle worker, for the
fellow who shoots 100 and more
can't see how they do it. He thinks
clubs and balls may have some
thing to do with it, and he wants to
play the same clubs and balls the
pros play.
Then he thinks lesson or two
may help him. and he signs up for
series. Maybe the pro can teach
him Che usually cam and the game
of the duffer improves. So the pros.
for little promotion work and fun,
get real benefits out of these
matches. They also pile up fund
for the District open championship,
to be played in October The exhi-
bition matches were all right. They
should be revived.

Less than an hour Of light rain
washed out the entire schedule Of

drying courts stymied the city's larg-

time In six days.
Despite that the sun was shining
at noon and again in the late af-

annoyed, but helpless.
The sole bit of encouragement
came belatedly from the weather

weather today for the Bitsy Grant

two of the country's first 10-ranking

BY r. r. TAYNTON.

The American Kennel Club recent
ly has pointed out that the part
women have played in the dog game
has been a very ancient, honorable
and important one. AS far back as
the early 1400s Juliana Berners,
prioress of Sopewell Nunnery, a
famous wit and beauty, wrote many
books on fishing and hunting, which
proved her intimate familiarity with
the hound breeds of her day, par
ticularly the greyhound. It must be
remembered that hounds have
changed but little since that time.
Anne Boleyn, one of the wives of
Henry VIII, was another important
figure in the dog game Of her time,
the early 1500s. In 1880 she figured
in law case involving an accident
ally killed COW and Brittany grey
hound.
Coming closer to our own times,
there have been many women OF
royal blood and great prominence
who have taken an active interest IN
hunting, breeding dogs, showing
dogs or writing about them.
Queen Victoria may be said
to have given the modern dog
show its real impetus by her
patronage.
Queen Alexandra, too, encouraged
the showing of dogs by her interest
in the royal borzois.
In spite of this, in spite of the over
whelming place taken by women in
the modern world of the dog, in spite
Of the fact that some Of the most
important kennel clubs in this coun-
try and England and some of the
largest, most interesting shows, are
exclusively run by women, women
have but very small say in guiding
the destinies of the dog game here
and in England.
No woman may be q delegate to
the American Kennel Club from any
member club, according to tradition,
although I have not been able to
find any such ruling in the American
Kennel Club rules and bylaws.
No woman may be member Of the
English Kennel Club.
Laws for the governing of the dog
fancy promulgated by these two lead
ing bodies must be obeyed implicitly
by any woman interested in the sport
yet she may have no voice in its
formation.
