Rocksie, Gay Cockode in Battle
For 7nipIe-Bor Championship
| At CuIpeper Horse Show

cleared feet in a triumph last
month, Rocksie topped that by 3
inches in the Washington show sew
eral weeks ago and a meeting of
these two alone promises much.
While no Washington horse was
able to win blue Yesterday the Dis
trict was in the spotlight when
Frank Christmas beat 10 other Junior
riders in the A S. P c. A. good
hands event. The l3-year- old rider
has been in several similar classes
around the Nations Capital lately
but despite putting up good show
ing each time he failed to take the
main ribbon. The judges here, how
ever, quickly recognized his ability
and awarded him the blue unhesl-
tatingly. Elizabeth Marsh, another
Washington rider, took fourth in
this class.
Tied for Championship.
Although no horse was able to win
two classes yesterday, Mrs John
Hay Whitney's Spring Hope and Ray
S. Shoemaker Higlo were tied for
the hunter championship which will
bring the show to a close. The
Whitney mare won the lightweight
hunters and Higlo the middle and
heavy weight hunters. This gives
each five points toward the crown.
Two other classes. the Corinthian
and the ladies hunters this after
noon, will afford each a chance to
add to their point score and also give
outsiders chance to catch up.

BY GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, July 4 (NAN.A).-
Another heavyweight championship
fight went rumbling into the records
when Joe Louis bombed Tony
Galento out in the fourth round
and now the fight fan looks to the
lighter classes for action. Two
skirmishes are coming up soon
Billy Conn and Melio Bettina and
Henry Armstrong and LousAmbers-
and both should be hair-raisers.
Conn and Bettina will be fighting
for the light ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ship of the world-in New York.
The light heavyweight division has
been scrambled by the case of John
Henry Lewis, who first abandoned
the championship to fight Louis and
then, seeking to reclaim it, found
himself practically banned because
of partial blindness. Meanwhile, the
New York State Athletic Commits
sion, which likes to settle these
things to its own satisfaction at
least, conferred the title on Bettina,

What may become the biggest
country club for colored in the East
is in process of formation between
Washington and Baltimore, with the
All-View Club, near Ellicott City. the
projected site for the new develop
ment. At present there is no coun-
try club for colored in this. neigh
borhood.
The story is this: A Baltimore
businessman has an option to pur-
chase the All-View Club, located
about Is miles from Washington and
about II miles from Baltimore.
Various groups of colored people in
Washington and Baltimore are in
terested in the purchase of the
property. and have approached this
man. Committees now are being
formed to go into the details of the
proposed purchase.
The All-View course is rated one
of the best golf layouts in this area.
Originally constructed in 1928 as a
major country club development the
property passed out of the hands of
the original owners around 1881 and
the layout became public fee
course.
At present the colored golfers have
a new course, located at Deanwood,
D. c., near the banks of the Ana
costa River, where Clyde Martin,
former Congressional caddie, has
taken over the pro berth. This course
is operated by S. G. Leoff1er as a
link in his chain of golf enterprises.
Few of the local country clubs per-
NIT their caddies to play, but some
of the boys are expert golfers. Mar
tin is an expert. So are Harry Jack
son and Billy Adams and Bobby
King of Columbia.

that hand in shape by the time his

Junior golfers around town TODAY
are looking ahead to next Tuesday
and the Middle Atlantic Junior
championship where they'll have a
crack at Jimmy Stevens, the tall
dark-haired youngster from the
Army Navy Country Club, who holds
the District junior title. The mid
Atlantic will be staged July II over
the KenWood course, where George
0. Vass, runner-up in the District
Junior championship, will be among
the favorites to win. Kenwood is
Georges home club.
Stevens licked VaSs, 3 and /, in
the junior championship final at
Army Navy yesterday. The original
final, scheduled for last Friday, was
postponed because of the illness of
the new champion. With the match
all square at the turn Stevens turned
on the heat to win the 18th and 18th
holes, only to drop the 18th to Vass'
birdie 4. But Stevens won the 18th
when Vass' second shot was under
a bridge in a ditch, and the new
champ canned birdie 3 to win the
18th and the match.
Both Stevens and Vass, along with
most of the other better-playing
youngsters around town, have en-
tered the mid-Atlantic. The tourney
is open to junior members and sons
of members of member clubs in the
Middle Atlantic Golf Association.
It's doubtful if champion Bobby

Gene Larkin and his District pro-

of Monday tournaments, spaced
about each fortnight; series of ex-

up the season with the District open
championship, whose venue has not
yet been announced.
Next Monday the pros from the
entire mid-Atlantic sector will
gather at the Baltimore Suburban

Entries for this one will close July

pros will be invited to play, and

Tourney on Market.
The two big local professional
events are very much undecided
this year. Not only has no date
been announced for the District
open championship, but the club
hasn't been chosen The same
thing goes for the Middle Atlantic
P. G. A. championship, and it's en-
tirely possible that Leo Walper will
retain his mid-Atlantic crown with
out a shot in defense of it this year.
For the past two years the pros have
played at Old Point Comfort for a
stable purse, but this year no such
purse has been forthcoming. THE
Middle Atlantic P. G. A. tournament
is on the market" says Ralph Beach,
prexy of the sectional pro body.
We'll give it to the highest bidding

anything like the thousand-dollar
guarantee Sid Banks put up at Old
Point.
For two years now the pros have
taken in few dollars from exhibit
ton matches, most of which has
been applied to the District open
championship. This tourney should
have stable purse, but so far the
pickings have been meager. It will
probably wind up at Indian Spring.
