New Promoter Cuts
Midget Auto Race
Admission Fee

Slashing of the general admis-
sion price to 40 cents today was the
first step of Ray Alvis, newly named
head of the Capitol Speedway, in an
effort to revive interest in midget
auto racing here.
AlviS, who has obtained lease
for two years with an option to
buy, plans to stage only four more
cards this year, the first of which
will be staged Tuesday. After the
close of the season Alvis intends to
rebuild the plant and next year
hopes to promote softball on a large
scale in addition to staging races.
Formerly a leading figure in box
ing circles, Avis first promotion
here occurred last year when he
staged exhibition ice hockey games
at Riverside Stadium.
Races at Capitol Speedway will
continue under the sanction Of the
American Automobile Association.

Indian Spring Makes
Unique Record in
D. T.. Amateur
Becomes First to Goin
All Four Places in
SemifinuI Round

It may give you an idea Of the
strength Of that Indian Spring golf
team when you look over the results
OF the District amateur champion
ship, which wound up yesterday at
the Burning Tree Club. As the
historic old De Sibour -Reyburn
Trophy again moved over to Indian
Spring to 60 up in the trophy case
alongside the Middle Atlantic cham
pionship mug won earlier in the
season by Roger Peacock, the men
who follow golf couldn't recall
District title tourney in which the
four semifinalists all were from one
club, as they were in the late title
braWl
State Title Looks q Cinch.
In past years Columbia, with
Miller Stevinson, Albert Mackenzie,
Roland Mackenzie and a few others,
has done some notable winning, but
never before in such an important
tournament as the District cham
pionship has the tourney gone into
the semiflnal phase with only .
single club represented. It speaks
volumes for the class of that Indian
Spring golf team, which probably
will win the Maryland State team
title In little more than a common
canter.
Meanwhile. at Chevy Chase tomor-
row, the Chevy Chase team and
Rolling Roads golf warriors from
Catonsville, Md, will clash again In
an attempt to untangle the 90 dead
lock to which they fought last Sum-
day. Other teams will not play,
which will set the team schedule
back full week. It will wind up
on October u instead of October II.
Rankings Are Difficult.
Indian Spring has quite q golf
team. Maybe it's the best that ever
has been gathered around Washing
ton. You can't tell about that. But
If ever there has been real power
house corralled in one spot it Is the
outfit that represents Indian Spring
this year. Further evidence isn't
needed than the results of the Dis
trict championship.
But the result of the tourney only
tosses the ratings of the local boys
this year into more of a scramble
than they previously were. Looking
at Roger Peacock win the Middle
Atlantic with a display OF the finest
iron play seen around this town in
years, you wondered whether any
one could beat him. Yet Roger was
dropped in the first round of the Dis
trict. Mentally you rated Roger at
the top on that display. Yet how
could you overlook Bobby Brownell,
who didn't play In the District?
It's all very much scrambled up
this year.

Boueh Pros Best AII-Around
Poser for Two Yeors

Sammy Baugh, though he falls Q
little short of both Herber and
Danowski In their own specialties,
has been the best all-around passer
in the league for two years. Per-
haps he still is. Perhaps, as the
younger Texans swear, OBrien will
turn out to be a better one. But
down in darkest Brooklyn they have
a man who already has passed
both Sammy and the Slingshot, ac-
cording to the native boasts, az
though they were standing still.
And the natives make out a pretty
good case when they call Ace Parker
the best player in the game.
Spawned by Duke University, the
Ace does everything vel, including
think. He can kick far and sharp,
run high and wide, tackle, handle
his team and pass with the best
OF them. Most professional coaches
believe he Is the logical successor
of Dutch Clark as the leagues
outstanding player.
Just now, however, we are review
ing one department only. This is
the year of great passers-Baugh,
OBrien, Herber, Isbell, Danowski
and Hall. Competing with them
at their own game, we think Mr..
Parker is q sound bet to come out
on top.

Bettina should be better this time.
With no previous experience Of the

badly in the other one. He prac-

an easy mark for the flicking left jab
with which Conn piled up his slim

the final round he gave Billy

Conn, despite all the talk about
how Johnny Ray is teaching Billy
a knockout punch.
One OF the country's best-known
fight managers, who wishes Conn
well, said the other night that in
some 80 years experience he had
seen only one boxer develop a knock
out punch. He said that was Benny
Leonard.
Conn couldn't hit hard enough to
seriously damage Fred Apostoli,

he hurt Bettina before. He had bet

dancing Monday night and perhaps
leave the real heavyweights alone
entirely. Otherwise, as Joe Jacobs

It's q Boom Yeor for Warriors
Who Throw the Leother

This is the boom year Of forward
passing. There never have been so
many notorious throwers In compe-
tition before.
Down in Washington, Mr.. George
Preston Marshall insists that Sling
ing Samuel Baugh still Is the best
in the business. Mr.. Marshall owns
the Washington football team and
Baugh along with it. Every Mon
day Mr.. Marshall grows lyrical over
the pitching Of this seasoned oper-
ative from Texas Christian.
There is something in what the
Redskin trycoon says, but down in
Texas they confidently expect Sling
shot O'Brien to surpass Samuel in
their next joust and to keep ahead
OF him thereafter. They think
Davey is a better passer.
This is hard to believe, for OBrien
lacks Baugh's accuracy. and he is
no cooler under fire, no better Judge
OF distance, no quicker getting rid
OF the ball and no more of a gen.
eral threat than Singing Samuel.

Football Season Away
To Crashing Sturt
By GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, Sept. % N.AN.A).
Footballs 1899 college campaign
loses no time in getting under way
with a crash and a bang.
I can slip you two games next
Saturday that may have q large
bearing on the seasons ranking
national as we'll as sectional. And
that's before "the frost is on the
pumpkin and the folders in the
shock"
One is the meeting between Pur-
due and Notre Dame at Notre
Dame. The other is the party
thrown by Southern Methodist and
Oklahoma at Norman.
AS a starter Purdue and Notre
Dame will present a few of the
best backs the new season will show.
Purdue has Brock and Brown, two
fast, high-powered backs who can
move along. Notre Dame has Sag
gau, Sitko, Zontini and others who
stand out in the way of both quality
and quantity.
The backfield play in this game
should be terrific. The issue prob
ably will go to the two rival lines,
where there is more of a guess.
Purdue and Notre Dame, both
facing high-pressure schedules all
along the route, are sure to be two
OF the country's best teams. The
odds are that both will be beaten
before the fall campaign Is over
but this must be expected from the
class they meet.

After a Today tour through the

Ten will lead the parade as far as
conference strength goes. 1t will
top the East, the South, the South
west and the Far West with some

The Midwest offers you Michigan,
Northwestern, Purdue, Minnesota
Ohio State, Indiana and Wisconsin
seven ably-coached teams with
full complement of material.
Michigan has the edge now with
q lighter schedule than most OF
the others face.
To this Midwestern group you can
add Elmer Layden's Notre Dame
group-sure to be somewhere around
the top if the forward wall holds out.
Notre Dame, as usual, has no
breathing spots-no holidays-no
vacations from hard play. The
South Bend Simeon starts off with
Purdue and then moves along
through murderous march until
1t meets Southern California with
