Spot on Ga|ento Card
Spurs Gallagher
In Bout Here

Marty Gallagher. the genial local
heavyweight trying the umpteenth
in a series of comebacks Monday
night at Griffith Stadium. today was
eager to obtain semifinal spot un-
der a guy he once carved rather
neatly.
Looming for Marty is a bout on
the Tony Galento-Lou Nova card at
Philadelphia September 7, and
should he swing on that program
the situation will be interesting
Marty, who once whacked sizable
slices out of the Galento features,
will be cast in supporting role.
Should Marty spank Jim Robin
son in the 10-round tiff Monday,
Philadelphia officials plan to book
him in an eight-round semiflnal
against Pat Comiskey, youthful Long
Branch, N. j., scrapper, who has
created a mild stir in heavyweight
circles. Robinson is slated to feud
with Comiskey, but Marty would be
substituted in the event he trims
Robinson.
Gallagher launched his latest
comeback last night amid the car
nival atmosphere of the st. Aloysius
Church garden party, travelling three
rounds with Joe Lipps, Ty Ty. Ca,
veteran, in an exhibition bout.

Continued From Page CID

icling of that 1-to-0 lead they took
in the first inning. Charley Keller
had doubled and two were down
when Joe Di Maggie lifted a short,
high pop fly which somehow fell
safely on the right field foul line for
a fluke double. Five innings went
by before the Yanks got another hit.
Then, with Keller on base due to a
walk, Di Maggie took half swing
at an outside pitch, as if trying to
stop his bat, and the ball sailed into
the right-f1eld stands, barely fair,
for a home run.
Red Rolfe's low home-run drive in
the eighth. Keller's double in the
first, Selkirks single in the seventh
and Di Maggio's single in the eighth
were the only well-hit balls off
Dutch all day.
So beaten, four out of five games
on this current tour of Boston and
New York, the Mats will return to
Washington tonight after a final
fling at the champions today. More
trouble looms ahead. The Red Sox
are moving into Griffith Stadium
tomorrow for a .three-game series
and the Mats pitching staff is not
of the caliber or the size to combat
four successive series against the
Yanks and Sox, two top teams in
the league. And that is exactly
what tomorrow's set will meant
will be Griff's fourth straight
against these two clubs.
Meanwhile, Joe Krakauskas was
to try and stop the Bombers today
Joe has quite a job cut out for him
In the last two days he has seer
Ken Chase hurl a six-hitter and lose
to 2, and then he has witnessed
Leonard's six-hitter.
Two runs and seven hits in the
last l8 innings. That's the record
the Griffmen are carrying into to-
days game. Some fun. eh, keed:

HoIdemon and POM, New
To D. c. Mat Fans,
Appear Tonight

Lured by promise of $500, the
Golden Terror will try to break
Nanjo Singh's cobra hold tonight at
Turner's Arena in the main bout of
Uncle Joe Turner's latest wrestling
assembly. A time limit of one hour
has been slapped on the boys, but,
if past performances are criterion
they'll finish in less than half that
time.
The Terror goes into action one up
on Singh in the series, having won
last weeks curtain-raiser when the
husky Hindu was disqualified for
stepping out of bounds. Out of
bounds ordinarily doesn't result in
disqualification. but this time Nanjo
happened to drag the Terror along
with him.
Two new faces will appear on to-
nights program, supplied by Roy
Haldeman and Eddie POM. Halde-
man meets Rudy Strongberg in his
District debut and POM will try
conclusions with Red Ryan.
In other matches Jack Hager op-
poses Juan Ologuival and Bibber
Mccoy is down for a tussle with Pete

Many Capital Golfers
Eve BaItimore's
National Test
Group Is Apt to Find
Competition Hot With
Eager in Field

Quite a delegation of Washington
youngsters will troop over to the
Five Farms course of Baltimore
Country Club Tuesday, August 10,
to play in the sectional qualification
rounds for the National Amateur
golf championship.
With few chances for competitive
play around Washington this year,
the amateurs of the town are going
for the big championship in a big
way. Entries for the National close
at S pm. Monday, August IA, with
the United States Golf Association.
Top-liners among the ambitious
youngsters this year will be Bobby
Brownell, Ralph Bogart and Billy
Shea. The first two qualified Sec
tionally last year and Brownell made
the match play grade in the cham
pionship at Pittsburgh, qualifying
comfortably in eighth place and
losing in the second round to Chick
Harbert, the present Trans -Missis-
sippi champ, after licking Walker
Cup team member Reynolds Smith
in the first round.
New Star in Baltimore.
| Probably when all the returns are
in there'll be Is or 20 local lads at
Baltimore for the trials. But where
In the past the Washington entries
have come fairly close to dominat-
ing the field, even to the point where
they've practically shut out the Bal
timoreans, this year they have
new factor to reckon with.
Tall, angular Bill Eager, an i'm
portation from Georgia, is the new
factor who has put Baltimore up
near the top in amateur golf in this
sector. Bill licked Roger Peacock
in the final round of the Maryland
State Amateur championship. They
have to be good to lick Roger. And
Eager repeated again in the Wash
lngton- all-star match a
few days ago. So it was no fluke.
You have to accept two straight
wins as more or less conclusive, even
though lot of folks think Roger re-
mains the best amateur in this area.
Eager Too Eager to Win.
But then Eager scored 144 in the
Maryland Open championship to
win second amateur prize. The an
giles of how he finished second anna
teur haven't been told. The fact is
that he tried to hole a 20-footer to
tie John ODonnell, and in doing so
ran past the cup and three putted
Had he been satisfied with a sure
par 4 and second place he probably
would have had it. But he tried to
tie for first.
The Eager lad is a good golfer,
perhaps the best Baltimore has had
since Warren Corkran hung up his
war clubs in competition. He is en-
ployed by an aircraft company in
Baltimore and holds the Georgia
State championship. 1t takes a
good golfer to win that title in a
sector where good shotmakers are as
thick as bees around a clover field.
So the Washington boys have
something to lick this year in Bill
Eager.
