A local boy who made good twice

the natives Saturday when Cadet
Bill Guckeyson trudges on the field
with Army's trackmen for dual

who holds the stadium record OF

event-as well as the discus mark, is
expected to show the folks some
fancy spear-chucking in the javelin
as he used to do when he wore
Maryland's black and gold.

this meet-javelin and pole vault
The Terps are weak in these de-
partments and Guckeyson, who now
owns the West Point record, prob

II the edge is in pitching, how

because of Boyd and Bill Liggett,
who limited Marvin's to seven scat

Industrial League game Monday and
checked Russell Motors with six hits
for O'Donnell's Grill. Bill Bradley
who did the chucking for Packard,
gave up 10 hits to D. G. S., although
never in trouble with the exception
of a bumpy seventh inning, when
nicked for four runs.
Miller Furniture, Gilley Steele's
potent outfit, makes its league debut
this week in a game with D. G. S.,
and, unless Steele is pipe-dreaming,
should take the Grocers. The Fur

that it gets of on the right foot.

said he wasn't entering the Point to
capitalize on his athletic prowess
and here was a chance to prove it..
He left the Academy, burned the

books and went back. This time he
stayed and made good. His popu-
larity seemed to increase, and Bill

play football was Army's loss. It

New York City this week is the
scene of paramount attraction in
national chessdom, for there II
leading masters are engaged in the
struggle for the. coveted honor Of
1910 champion.
Reuben Fine is the favorite, al
though he drew his game against
Isaac I. Kashdan in 56 moves.
United States Champion Samuel
Reshevsky found Albert G. Simon
son a wolf in sleeps clothing, the
latter ekeing out draw in 81
moves.
Washington has no player con-
testing for the title in the first con-
gress fostered by the newly y-birthed
United States Chess Federation, but
shares in the publicity, for all stars
are shooting at the $500 top prize
with an eye on the special 500 bril-
liancy award that Messrs. w. K.
Wimsatt and I. S. Turover of this
city have offered for a clever and
scintillating game that indicates
Merlin wizardry.
In the third round Kashdan de-
feated the Brooklyn College cham
pion, Herbert Seidman, In "a moves.
A backward kings pawn in the
Kings Indian Defense, employed by
Seidman, proved a fatal handicap.
Weaver w. Adams OF Boston pulled
the prize boner in his game with A..
G.. Simmonson. At the 21st turn
Adams played BxP to check. Simon
son countered with KxB, gleefully
accepting Adams sacrifice. If the
Boston master had played RxP to
check Adams would have won with

Lou Still Is Supreme,
Though Dodeing Fights

People are beginning to realize
that in spite of his uncouth ap-
pearance and jigging, monkeylike
style, the hollow-eyed little Ital-
ian from Herkimer is one of the
most accomplished fighters OF our
time, tough and rounded and su-
premely competent.
No true puncher himself, his
aim is deadly enough to bring down
the stanchest foe if you give him
time. Offensively, he is a well-oiled
buzzsaw. Defensively, he has no
flaw. His stamina is tremendous;
he can take a punch; he is fast;
he likes to fight, and his instinct
for his game is as true as a good
surgeons. Even a freak of strength
and vitality like Henry Armstrong
will find him too much to handle
now, though such was not always
the case.
It took Ambers time to reach his
present standard of ability. and he
may not hold the peak for long.
But today he is the best light
weight, and Samuel Angott, with
his 46 States and his territories, is
playing make-believe.
In difference to the N. B. A., I
think Lou should fight Mr.. Angott
right away. If he doesn't he is a
low and evasive character but still
the best lightweight.

Angott World Champion
By N. B. A. Grace Only
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

Special Correspondent Of The Star.
NEW YORK, May 8 (N.AN.A0.-
In Louisville the other evening the
National (well, fairly NationaD
Boxing Association created another
new world champion of its own, In
opposition to Mike Jacobs house
champion.
This cataclysrnic event occurred
in the lightweight division, which
now is split down the middle like
a Dutch treat check. One Samuel
Angott took a decision from the
forlorn Chicago pugilist known as
Davey Day, and the N. B. A. reared
back and hit Mr.. Angott upon the
brow with its accolade. designating
Samuel as the one and only light
weight champion in the world.
Mr.. Angott blushed gracefully
and promised to be a fighting
champion in 48 States and Alaska.
In New York State, of course, he
will be plain Mr.. Angott-a fine old
title in itself.
When notified (out of sound
Sleep that he had just been re-
lieved of his claim to 48 States and
several provinces, Lou Ambers, the
other world champion, rolled over
in his bed and asked to be called
at 1890.

N. B. A. Is Honest Body,
But Reasons Poorly

The rest of the world (now
shared. as I get it, by Mr.. Ambers
and Mr.. Angott on catch-as-
catch-can basis was rocked to its
foundation by the new development.
Everywhere-especially in Norway,
Denmark, Finland and China-they
are asking themselves which to ac-
knowledge, Angott or Ambers. His
majestys government is agog, and
Hitler is thinking of suspending
hostilities until the matter can be
Strengthened out.
My own attitude toward the fairly
National Boxing Association has
mellowed with time Ull bet they'll
whoop with delight at the N. B. A.
and kick their heels together when
they hear that.
The officials seem to be honest,
IN the main, and while aiming devi-
Gus kicks at Mike Jacobs in their
spare time they are doing their best
to rescue boxing from the muddle
into which many agents, including
the N. B. A., have plunged it.
Unhappily, some of the boys who
get their championships from the
N. B. A. for perfect attendance and
clean fingernails are not very much
as fighters. It's hard to blame the
N. B. A. for being sore at Ambers,
a willfui fellow, and penalizing him
for his idleness. At the same time
it's hard to keep from laughing at
the idea that Angott is a better man
than Ambers.
When Angott is appointed cham
pion, it means that he is the best
lightweight in the world. And every
body knows different.
Ambers could save the N. B. A. a
lot of embarrassment by behaving
himself and fighting the boys they
ask him to fight. But Ambers will
do no such thing, as long as he is
managed by Armand (Weskit) WE'LL
and as long as the Weskit affiliates
himself with Mr.. Jacobs.
It's a matter of the independent
against the group, and the sad part
of it is. that the independent, for
all his sordid character, is the best
lightweight fighter in the world.
This may not be true much longer.
Though young, Lou Ambers has been
fighting for quite spell. In a year
or two some fellow may beat him,
and If the N. B. A. is lucky it will
be one of their own fellows, and
they finally will have a logical
champion.
But such is not the case today.
Ambers-who learned his trade by
fighting the great ones, McLarnin,
Canzoneri and Armstrong-appears
to be at his peak.
