Todd Find for Skins
Texas Legislator
Firmly Declares

Whole hearted Endorsement of Dick
Todd, the Washington Redskins
third choice in the selective draft
last winter who signed a contract
with the local professional grid entry
over the week end, came today from
Representative Luther Johnson of
Texas, in whose district Todd at
tended college.
A personal observer of Todd ever
since he played freshman football
at Texas A. & NJ, Representative
johnson predicted that he would
show Washington grid fans the best
kind of ball-carrying produced in the
Southwest. He recalled that one of
his greatest thrills last fall came
when Todd intercepted one of Dave
O'Brien's passes on his own goal
line and ran IS yards through the
entire T. C. U. team only to be
brought down by a flying tackle by
KY Aldrich near goal.
The Representative also attested
to Todd's sturdiness with the words:
You can't hurt him. I've seen him
hit so hard that you would think
he would break into pieces, yet he
always got up smiling. I feel
sure the Redskins will be a better
team because of his abilities"
Todd was the sixth of 10 college
seniors drafted by the Redskins to
come to terms.

Armstrong; Personality Captvates British but They Wonder He Can Fight
F FodeIey Jumpers Get Sweep,
Woihou Earns Hunter Title
In Show at Marlboro

Picking up where they left off In
Saturdays opening classes Fenton
Fadeley's Headrock and Col. George
S. Patton, jr.'s Waihau continued
their point-gaining ways at the
Marlboro Hunt Horse Show yester-
day afternoon and ended up with
the jumper and hunter champion
ships.
Not content with the jumper
crown won by his fathers mare,
young Mercer Fadeley gained re-
serve honors in that division with
his young gray mare Skippy, which
only started showing this spring but
which has been well up on the WIN
ner's list.
Both Headrock and Waihau, rid
den by Ruth Ellen Patton, daughter
of the Fort Myer commandant, had
rushed into prominent positions in
their respective division by scoring
heavily Saturday. The first, alter
nately ridden by Mr.. Fadeley and
Mercer, had won the open jumpers
and the handy jumpers events then
and while the big brown entry could
not gain a blue yesterday she did
manage to pick up several points by
fourth ribbon in the open jumpers
and a third in the Scurry class
These points were enough to give
her an edge over her young stable
mate for the title.
Waihau Easy Winner.
Saturday Waihau had won the
novice hunters, working hunters,
open hunters, ladies hunters and the
hunter hacks; yesterday she won the
green hunters and placed in the
open hunters. The total points thus
gained gave the chestnut a big mar
gin over Kitty Smyser's Lurline,
ridden by Will Washburn, for the
hunter championship.
One of the most attractive events
on the program, the scurry class,
found Hi-Ho, ridden by Lisbeth
Stieg, jumping off for first place with
Greystone, owned and ridden by Ro-
land Hartman. Both had gone clean
lllc lllSG lllp OFcI IilC OuOoluC llillS-
Jump course. With time an impor-
tant factor Hi-Ho repeated his per-
feet round to take first, while Grey
stone hit one jump. Hal Clagett
took a spill in this class when his
mount, Black Knight, turned over
while taking the last jump. Neither
the horse or rider was injured.
The exacting touch-and-out class
brought out big field, but it re-
manned for Mrs. Lawrence w. Rob-
ert's old favorite, John the Baptist,
to once again enter the winners
ranks after a long absence. Ex-
pertly ridden by Will Washburn. the
steady veteran took each obstacle
in stride to beat out Skippy, with
King Rock third and Fair Laun
fourth.
1t. Comdr. Justice Lees hunter
and point-to.point horse, Bolter rid
den by his owner, scored twice
After winning the Marlboro Hunt
class from Black Knight he came
back later to capture the open hunt

mate hunter champion, Waihau,
with a clean round.

To Annoy Mamakos

Boxing Board Official
Says Ralph Hits Like
Cogney, Who Hurt Greek

Heine Miller, who serves as Sec
retary of the District Boxing Com
mission and has passion for under
dogs. has taken another stray to his
heart and is picking Ralph Zanelli
to give Steve Mamakos full night S
work when those worthless launch
the outdoor ring season a week from
Monday night at the Stadium.
Herr Miller, it must be recalled,
has taken Tony Galento under his
patronizing wing in an off-hand
manner and is confidently predict
ing he'll take little Of the happi-
ness out of Champion Joe Louis
in their forthcoming fight. And
Miller is giving Zanelli a chance
against the durable Greek for the
same reason that he likes Galento-
he has punch.
Likes Zanellis Chances.
II may be going off the deep end"
he confided yesterday, but when a
kid comes up with record like
zanelli's you've got to give him a
chance. You thought Cal Cagney
had punch when he f1oored
Mamakos last summer. Well, this
boy hits just as hard and thinks a
little faster. Mamakos is an easy
target. Anybody can hit him, but
Cagney is the only one to put him
on the deck so far. I think Zanelli
will be the second to accomplish
that feat, and if he wins I won't be
at all surprised. I like his chances
and you can quote me-"
zanelli, incidentally, is due in
town Friday to finish training for
the bout and will stage public work
outs. Thus the fans will have ample
opportunity of sizing him up before
laying it on the line.

Manner, Intelligence
Of Henry Is Talk Of
Pubs, Pub|icists
National Sporting Club
Honors Champ; AiIine
Hand Slows Troinine
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LONDON, May 15.-The British
boxing public has gone completely
nuts over Henry Armstrong.
-Four weeks after landing to start
work for his welterweight title de-
fense against Ernie Roderick May Is
Henry is the talk of the pubs and
the pride of the publicists.
They didn't know what to make
OF him at first, but they like him
fine now. The sports writers who
jorrneyed down to meet the Queen
Mary expected a cross between the
late Bert Williams and Battling
Sikh.
What they found. of course, was
mild hammered little guy travelling
with his wife and daughter He did
not brag. He used good English. His
clothes were seemly. His manners
perfect
He did everything right He told
them he wasn't worried about the
foul rule, that he was quite willing
to abide by English boxing rules.
He spoke feelingly and proudly of
his race. He knocked them off their
feet by showing them samples of
the poetry he had written. He dis
cussed his book like fellow
craftsman.
Tell me-" asked a bedazzled jour-
nalist, lis this really Armstrong;"
Made Honorary" Clubman.
He and his fellow word painters
went away enchanted. The next day
there were pictures of the sad-eyed
little Negro and lengthy stories in
every London paper. The writer's
spoke of his boxing record rever-
entity, but what really got them was
Henry's intelligence and courtesy.
They spent so much space on him
they almost overlooked Tommy
Farr, who is around challenging
every one from Louis down.
Armstrong is the finest character
I have ever met in boxing wrote
one critic. He is a credit to his
race and to his country
There was more to come. They
gave him dinner. There was Henry
in tuxedo, talking about the long
way up, about his fights, about the
technique and history of boxing.
When he left, the titled gentlemen
whose ancestors fought at Agin-
court stood up and elected Henry
Armstrong of St. Louis, lightweight
and welterWeight champion of the
world" an honorary member of the
National Sporting Club, thereby
breaking an old rule forbidding the
election of Negroes to England's
swankiest boxing body.
Hurt Hand Bothers Henry.
The sports writer's are beginning
to worry a little. Henry's actions
are so correct they are wondering
if he really can fight. And out at
his training camp he has been
taking it easy. The left hand he
hurt against Davey Day in his
last American fight still bothers
him.
Henry is worried because the
left hand hampers his training His
timing is off. His circular manager
Eddie Mead doesn't like it because
he thinks Henry will be wild as a
result and that the low hitting will
disqualify him and turn the title
over to Roderick.
Henry has lost many a round on
a low blow in the United States.
Over here he would lose the fight.

international four-ball matches at
Miami in March, putting on a scor-
ing show that never has been ap-
preached in the lengthy history of
the four-ball
Cox's ability to cling to par despite
few bad shots here and there, and
Thomson's tremendous range from
the tee have convinced a good many
that they have a level chance with
the man-eaters of Miami-Guldahl
and Snead-who played nine holes
in a better ball of 20 to win the four
ball championship.
It's hardly level bet, for
when Guldahl and Snead get
going they're almost impossible
to lick.
And they probably will get going
next Sunday.
Tickets for the match are selling
fast. and with good day a gallery
OF 1000 or more may turn out.
Cox plans to bring here later Craig
Wood, Victor Ghezzi and Gene
