Commissioner Melvin G. Hazen
and Maj. Henry A. Leonard have
been selected to act as judges at the
Presidents Birthday Horse Show to
be held at Fort Myer tomorrow and
Thursday evenings.
Both men are veteran horsemen
themselves and are well known to
local thoroughbred enthusiasts for
their continued interest in horse ac-

missioner Hazen, former master
of the old Riding and Hunt Club
pack, and owner of a modest stable

as a keen Judge of show performers.
Maj. Leonard, long a familiar
figure along Rock Greek bride paths,

From the

Heavyweight Field Bare
OF Threats to Champion
BY JOHN LARDNER,

opecial Correspondent OF The Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-There was
a time three years ago when each
OF Joe Louis opponents was
identified in advance as "the victim"
or "the condemned man" and the
betting was confined to the matter
of how long the wretched fellow
would stay on his dogs. Those days
were somewhat dull.
Then came Max Schmelling and
Bob Pastor to demonstrate that the
perfect fighting machine was any,
thing but perfect. Joe's prestige
skittered and skidded in the open
market. The public began to feel
that anybody who went in there
with Joseph had chance to knock
him dead, because of his now
notorious allergy to a right-hand
blow on the whiskers.
Fellows like Jorge Brescia, the
lofty Argentine, who had no business
in the same town with Louis,
pugilistically speaking, could bring
the fans to their feet in breathless
excitement by waving a right at the
Bomber.
There 1t goes!" someone would
yell, and Joe's newly acquired habit
of covering his face with his arms
when he saw one coming. and acting
Ike slightly worried sheep, gave
color to the illusion.

Clash With Gonzaga
Next Big Hurdle
For Johnnies
Keen RivoI Now Pinned
To Give Scholastic
Leaders Big Fight
BY GEORGE HUBER.

"A good team always wins the
close Ones" says Gene Augusterfer
speaking of st. Johns "one-poir.t t
wonders who, while compiling tie
best schoolboy basket ball record To
date, have taken more than half
their victories by such close mar
gins that their followers have de-
veloped an advanced set of jitters.
Coach Augusterfer Is making no
idle boast when he calls the john
nies good team" Thus far they
have won seven games over the
toughest public school quintets in
this section, losing only to Eastern
on a day when st. Johns was suf-
fering a letdown and the Eastern
ers admittedly were hot. Five of
those victories were by three points
or less.
Gallagher, Mulvihill Star.
Against Anacostia the Johnnies
won by three points. One point set
back Tech. They were two points
better than Montgomery-Blair ard
Bethesda Chevy Chase, while the
one-point difference again cropped
up against Woodrow Wilson. Small
wonder st. Johns basket ball team
is dubbed the ''one-point wonders"
when it pulls games from the fire
by such narrow margins.
Good teams such as the one which
last year won the metropolitan
championship in The Star tourna-
ment don't come every year. That
quintet was torn apart when jim
my Giebel, johnny Swagart and
Al Birch graduated and Bat Bat

Augusterfer, taking what material
he had left, has built another team
which again is bringing honors to

Joey Gallagher and Jimmy Null

are the "one-point wonders the
boys who are setting a pace that
compares favorably with that fol-
lowed by last years outstanding
team in number of games won, if
not in comparative scores.
Gonzaga Rugged Rival.
One of the big games of the year
for st. Johns comes up Thursday
night at Tech gym. when it meets
Gonzaga, its traditional Catholic
school rival. In recent years the
Johnnies have had all the better
of it in their court games as far
as winning goes, but every contest
has been close, hard fought and
exciting.
AS in many cases of traditional
rivalries, comparative scores mean
little and one team has as good
chance as another. The Purple
squad hasn'.. won as many games
as st. Johns, but comparing scores
against the two teams they both
have played would make Gonzaga
the favorite, which, however. is not
the general consensus of schoolboy
followers. Eastern beat both by
7 points, but Gonzaga downed

came over here. bit constant pun

his victim, Charles Frobisher
