ATHENS, Ga, March 19.-The
sixth annual Southern intercollegiate
golf championship, billed at Athens
Country Club in April, actually will
be two tournaments rolled into one.
Reason for this is that the South
eastern Conference championship
will be decided during the three-day
tournament originated by the late
H. j. Stegeman and sponsored by
the University of Georgia.
Since a number of conference
schools desired to send representa-
tives to the fast-growing intercol-
legiate open tournament. it was
voted by the Southeastern au-
thorities to decide the leagues In

Heine Miller found himself on the
well-known spot today as Promoter
Joe Turner flashed an SOS to the
District Boxing Commission for aid
in putting on a world championship
featherweight match between Joey
Archibald, pretender to the throne,
and Harry Jeffra of Baltimore, one
of his innumerable conquerers.
Mr.. Miller, briefly, must sit down
as secretary to the local commission
and dash off an epistle that will
scorch the pants off himself as
president of the National Boxing
Association. Then, bouncing quickly
from one swivel chair to another,
he'll have to WELD the pen in de-
fense of his N. B. A. position asking
himself whatinell he means by writ
ing such tripe 1t should be most
peculiar brand of dual lingo, but the
situation is not expected to get out
of hand unless he is obliged to use
the telephone. That will precipi-
tate a most difficult and embarrass-
ing situation.
The casus belli is a neatly typed
2-page memorandum submitted to
the city ring commission by Pro-
moter Joe Turner whose efforts to
stage rerun of the Archibald
Jeffra title match are being baked
by the N B. A. The latter insists
that Joey put his crown on the line
fight against Peter Scalzo. the win
ner to meet Jeffra-or Jimmy Per-
rim. If joey refuses-and he already
has-the N. B. A. will withdraw it's
recognition of his titular claims.
Turner's Argument Strong.
Turner's letter points out that he
promoted the first Archibald-Je -Jeffra
bout for the benefit of the N. B. A..
which needed funds for its annual
convention here last summer. He
didn't expect to profit from the ven-
ture, but neither did he expect the
financial loss he incurred. More
over, he points out, Jeffra agreed to
risk his claim to a title bout by
meeting Baby Yack in a substitute
bout staged for the delegates enter
tainment and in the championship
bout following was robbed" of the
decision and crown.
Turner points to the record, in

Brashears' 423 also was tops.
Progressive Printing made it
triple tie for third place in the
Graphic Arts League with sweep

place Mines.
Gets Biggest League Game.
An alley record and the highest
game ever rolled in the Odd Fellows
League belong to Frank Donaldson
by virtue of his 1877 shot at the
Brookland Recreation. A quadruple
strike paved the way for his whop-
per, which cracked Perce Elletts old
mark of 1872 rolled a few years ago
at the New Recreation. His big
poke and 416 set gave Amity No. 2
the odd game from Amity No. l, but
not before Brother Wally of the
losers had copped high set of AIT.
AS a prelude to the D. G. Build
ing and Loan banquet Saturday, the
victorious Columbia Federal Savings
and Loan team was honored last
night at a dinner at the Kenwood
Country Club. William Poulton,
captain of the winners, was pre-
sented with plaque by w. N.
Payne, jr, president of the Wash
ington Associations. Fred A. Smith,
president of the Washington Real
Estate Board, was master of cere-
monies. Among the speakers was
Joe Pricci, president of the league.
Over 100 members were present.
The team championship trophy
award will be made at the coming
affair.
Lakeview Market bowlers won
three of five matches from Gene
Raney's strong Hagerstown, Md,
team at Bethesda. The Montgom-
cry County quint won two team
skirmishes and a doubles tilt. Capt.
Bob Miciotto was the star, leading
a team count of 1914 in the first
engagement with 162-416 and top
ped the second winning 1,746 score
with 1874. After Frank Riley,
the Bethesda luminary, had lost
the singles to Pallidino, 800 to 1856,
and Joe Di Misa and Miciotto had
dropped a doubles setto, Bob Miller
and Ray Parks shot score Of 1873

Miciotto followed up his flashy

Ruling to Expedite
Apprentice Certificates

To expedite the issuance Of ap-
prentice certificates under the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the Wage
and Hour Division has revised its
apprentice regulations, 1t was an
nounced today. The new rules pro-
vide that agreements may be ap-
proved ION the spot" by local joint
committees. as well as by State ap-
prentice councils. This will make
possible immediate exemptions and
employment of apprentices at wage
rates lower than those set under
the act. Upon approval of agree
ments, special apprentice certif1-
Gates win be promptly issued.
Since the act became effective
two years ago, only 129 apprentice
certificates have been issued, Ad-
ministrator Fleming said. No genu-
inc application for an apprentice
certificate, he said, has been denied.
Increased rates set by recent wage
orders and the demands of the de-
tense program, Col. Fleming pointed
out, are likely to add to the number
of applications received.
