he won't. for the Mats are over
stocked with inflelders and starving
for outf1eld talent. Manager Bucky
Harris has visioned Lewis as an out
fielder, but that may depend on de-
velopments.
One of those developments will
center about the gangling figure of
Shortstop Cecil Travis. If he's traded,
which generally is anticipated. Lewis
may stick on third. but If he ism t
Cecil may be shifted over to third,
leaving Harris in a spot to gamble
on Buddy as an outfelder.

Jimmy swatted gratifying $3.50 with
the Millers, playing the outf1eld the

Jimmy Bloodworth, who succeeded
Buddy Myer at second base, accom-
plishing amazing fielding feats and
hitting satisfactorily, finished the
season in the outfield. Eddie Leip
replaced him at second and thumped
for gaudy .344 in his brief trial
there.
Sore Arm Might Gust Case.
Roly-poly Taft Wright paced the
Mats runs-batted-in department
with 81 and also led the team in
doubles with 80. He may rate a
raise or merely may have qualified
as trading material, depending on
how his fielding antics were re-
garded.
George Case is established in the
1910 outfield. but George completed
the season with an extremely sore
arm. If his arm responds to treat
ment in the winter months he's set.
but he isn't overly optimistic about
it. 1--WE had sore arms before"
fumes George, "but never one like
this"
The veteran Myer batted .3O4. but
Buddy isn't expected to be batting
for the Mats at all next season. He,
too, probably will be bartered.
Travis, for the first time in his
career, failed to bat more than 300.
He finished with .294, which would
seem to make him less of a trading
attraction than ever before, but the
game guy was hampered much of
the season by flu and grippe. He
played on some occasions when he
should have been in bed.
Krakky, Chase Fail.
Joe Krakauskas and Ken Chase,
who were regarded by Harris as GER
tain to annex IS games between
them, won only 81 and lost 36.
The Mats may be no better next
year than they were in 1889, but at
least it may be an interesting win
ter. They are. it seems, destined to
have their face lifted.

K. Of T.. Shows Final

Program Unchanged;
Virginia Horses
Rout Opponents
By ROBERT HENRY.

Having lost one round to the
weatherman, the Knights of CO.
lumbus Horse Show, with its cham
pion hunters, jumpers and hard
riding exhibitors, was to get even
tonight under the protective roof
Of the Fort Myer (Va) Riding Hall,
where the show will hold its closing
classes starting at o'clock.
This change, made after officials
and exhibitors decided yesterdays
rains would leave the Meadowbrook

performances, will not interfere with
The original 10 classes, including the
5000 jumper stakes, 5000 hunter

The hunter and jumper champion
ship awards will close proceedings.
Virginia Entries Favored.
After falling rapidly to the on
slaught OF numerous Virginia en-
tries Saturday, local and nearby ex-
hibitors were figuring on rallying
enough in the remaining events to
prevent almost a complete rout.
Several open jumper classes en-
braced their last chance to make
good, as already they have resigned
themselves to the fate of bowing to
Old Dominion entries in the hunters
classes.
OF the six open-to-all hunter
events thus far held all were won by
Southern invaders. while the two
Jumper classes have been split, one
going to Black Caddy. owned by
Fred Hughes, jr., Of this city, and
the other to Hobo. from Howard H.
Butzs stable of Keswick, Va.
Just as the Virginians have an
edge IN the number of hunters COM
peting, so have the locals a slight
numerical advantage in the sitter
jumper division. Such stars as Billy
Do, Gay Cockade and Santa Claus
failed to appear from the hunt
country, a fact that considerably
weakens their chances for jumper
laurels

However, the hosts also are with

jumping competitor-Rocksie. Con-
sistent conqueror of both local and

Crack al Pro Boxinu
Likely for De Chard
fHe Beats Novak
D. c. Boy to Foee Tough
Foe in Amateur King
At Blind Benefit

An early debut in professional
ranks was forecast for Jimmy De
Chard today if the husky Southwest
puncher hurdles Tony Novak in their
5-round heavyweight bout at Griffith
Stadium week from Wednesday
night. The two meet in the feature
OF an all-amateur card staged for
the benefit of the Society for the
Blind.
Regarded as one of the best fstic
prospects that ever laced on glove
locally, young De Chard has been
nursed along carefully by the veteran
promoter and handler frankie
Mann, and Novak, national amateur
champion, will be the final test to
determine his fitness for fling at
the pro gelt.
Might Aid Boxing Here.
Novak is a clever ringman and
stiff puncher-he had to be to at
tain the croWn-and if he succumbs
to the District lad it is a safe guar
antee that De Chard has sufficient
weapons to get him off to a flying
start in pro competition.
Although Mann is noncommittal
on his plans, it is believed that De
Chard, if returned a winner, will be
signed for several bouts this winter
at Turner's Arena. The competition
will be stiff, but not too rugged for
a green yoGngster, for Mann is too
cagey to overmatch his protege be-
fore he gets his bearings and un-
doubtedly will bring him along as
carefully as he has in amateur
competition.
De Chard's turning pro would be
lifeline for the sport in Washing
ton, which has just hit bottom after
series of ups and down that have
all but driven it out of existence.
Handled by Former Hoya.
Novak, handled by Joe Ooc) Reilly,
former Georgetown University ,ath-
lete, is scheduled to arrive here
Friday to conclude preparations for
the bout.
The Kansas City heavy will receive
a warm welcome from sons of the
Sunflower State and will trade
punches with sparring partners at
public gym to acquaint fans with
his prowess.
The youngster reputedly has a
kayo punch in either hand, which
doesn't sound so good for De Chard,
although James can take care Of
himself in that department.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 2.-Louis-

Rochester in the Little World Series,
were hopeful today of returning to
their winning stride under flood

Fed Golf Title Stake
As 6. P. O., Inferior
Teams Tuss|e
Printers Are Favored
In Round-Robin Final
At Indian Spring

Concluding more than five months
OF intense competition among the
leading golfers in the Government
service, links teams from the Gov
ernment Printing Once and the
Interior Department were to play
today the final match at Indian
Spring in the round robbin windup
Of the tournament sponsored by
The Evening Star.
Outcome of the entire tourney
hinged on this final contest, al
though tie is possible. A tie would
necessitate another round robin
playoff.
The situation as G. P. o. and In
terror entered the final match was
this: G. P. o. licked Federal Housing
Administration, to 2, in the open
ing round robin match. Then Federal
Housing licked Interior, 4 to 2, in the
second contest. If G. P. o. wins 2la
points or more from Interior today
the Printers would be the champions
But if Interior wins by AZ points or
more it would win the crown and
the massive trophy donated by The
Star.
Big Edge With G. p. O.
If Interior licks G. P. O., 4 to 2,
the three teams then would be dead
locked, each having won points,
and another playoff will be neces-
sary. A single short putt could de-
eide the whole thing. The three
teams were winners in the three sec
tions of the tourney in which 80
teams started late in April.
Federal Housing has wound up its
part of the round robin, with loss
to G. p. o. and win from Interior.
That would indicate that the Print
ers are the stronger team. But
match play golf, where everything
may hinge on a short putt or the
kick of pitch shot, is something
that cannot be foretold.
The round robin series is set
tied on total points won and G. P.
o. seems to have the edge entering
the final match.
How Teams Lined Up.
Members of the teams which were
to meet today: G. P. O.-Joe Bal
estri, Bill Lawrence, Bob Elan and
Al Schneider: Interior-A. Wayne
Van Leer, John Andestad. Gene
Fossum and Everett Johnson.
Plans are in the making for the
