Tennis Pros NEARING
Organization Like
P. 6. A., Says Don
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

The opinion that the tennis pro-
fessionals of the country are be
coming better organized and soon
may hate an association as in
fluential as the P. G. A. is in golf
was given today by J. Donald Bulge,
here for an open clinic this morning
on the Rock Creek courts.
Bulge, vice president Of the Pro-
fessional Tennis Association, de-
clared he is through playing in
tournaments not sanctioned by that
body.
He sees no reason why, with the
Davis Cup matches out of considera-
ton because of the war, this year
would not be an excellent one for
the U. s. L. T. A. to change its atti-
tude on open tournaments and
sponsor one which would throw the
best pros and amateurs together for
the first time.
That Bulge has lost little of the
zing and form which enabled him
to quit the "play-for-expense-ac-
counts" boys undefeated was evi-
denced yesterday as he soundly
trounced Dan Watson, Chevy Chase
Club pro, 6-3, 6-3, in an exhibi-

With Other Cities

Although the District Coli As
citation decided, at its annual meet
ing in February, to 60 into the mat
ter Of arranging series Of inter-
club team matches, the member
clubs have gone the association one
better and have arranged many
matches themselves. But there still
remains the matter of a formal
league.
Woodmont Country Club - as
usual-has arranged matches with
Lakeside of Richmond and Subur-
ban of Baltimore. Army Navy has
made matches with Washington and
with Quantico. Capital has ar
ranged matches with Catoctin, and
several other clubs are arranging
team tests.
Congressional for several years
has had an annual team match with
the Country Club OF Virginia.
The District fathers Of golf SOL
emnly agreed to 60 into the subject OF
team matches, and appointed a COM
mittee to investigate 1t. But the
committee so far hasn't made a re-
port.
Many of the clubs around town
have recognized golf teams based
on the ladder system by which q
man can challenge the player above
him. If he wins he takes the upper
spot. Congressional, Woodmont,
Manor and Kenwood have that sys-
tenn and use the ladder lineup in
their team matches.

BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Washington isn't exactly neg.
lected when the solons of natiofial
golf get down to the business of
picking spots for the major cham
pionships. but in the view OF the
chairman Of the Women's Commit
tee Of the United States Coli Asso-
citation its shame that a woomen's
championship doesn't come to the
National Capital.
Here on what she described as
q social VISIT" Mrs. James H. HUI,
national women's chairman, tnclud-
ing Washington In a whirlwind
automobile trip to Eastern links
centers, conferred with officers of
the Women's District Coli Asso-
citation, impressed them with her
charm and sincerity and added that
she would like to see a national
women's tournament come to WASH
ington. Mrs. Hjul Is from San
Francisco, and will be in charge Of
the Women's title tourney on the
Del Monte peninsula next summer,
in which several local golfers plan
to play.
Her visit wasn't strictly social,
however, for among other things,
during a talk with Mrs. Robert A.
Lacey, Mrs. P. j. Winkler and Mrs.
Walter Weible, all officers of the
women's District association, she
went deeply into the subject of
handicaps. dwelling particularly on
the fact that to enter the women's
national contestant must have q
handicap based on scores made on
an l8-hole course. That particular
subject happens to be a sore spot
with the Washington women. They
have four nine-hole courses around
Washington. and they've been no
little concerned with the scores
made on them.
Nine-hole Scores Not Proper.
Isn't it true" asked Mrs. HUI,
that score made on a nine-hole
course isn't a proper score? Under
the rules of the U. S. G.. A., would not
the first nine be considered practice
nine?" Which, after all. Is some
thing to think about. Accompanying
the women's chairman was her
sister-Mrs. Hugh Macdonald Of
New York and San Francisco-who
is a former member OF the Executive
Committee of the Women's Metro
politan Golf Association.
Talking with Mrs. HUI, a woman
Of long and intelligent experience
in golf matters. you get the impress
sion that the U. S. G. A. has made
happy choice in selecting this
gracious Californian to head the
women's committee. In itself the job
is tough enough, for women are far
more critical in golf affairs than
men, But you get the idea that Mrs.
HUI knows her job and will handle
1t well. It's the first time in many
years that the chairman of a
women's committee OF the national
golf body has visited Washington.
Pine Valley Losers Return.
Back from Pine Valley, satisfied
that the rugged Jersey course is as
tough as it has been played up, came
a group Of % Washington golfers,
convinced that no matter how badly
they may play on their home courses
they'd do far worse at Pine Valley.

made on his first trip around the

Early Edge Over Day
Gains Lightweight
Title for Angott
New N. B. A. Chomp Boxe.
Three Next Month; Now
Expecting Heir
BY the Associated Press.

LOUISVILLE, KY. May Sam
my Angott, the little glove throw
ing Louisville slugger, is the new
lightweight champion in Al States
and few outlying precincts ruled
by the National Boxing Association.
The one time bootblack tired in
the stretch after building up de-
cisive early margin, but maintained
enough power last night to whip
Davey Day, solemn, plodding Chi
cagoan. in IS rounds before q Ken
lucky Derby eve crowd of approx
imately 5000.
Meets Latka Next Month.
Jack Dempsey, the former heavy
weight king. who called the decision
as both referee and sole Judge,
awarded six rounds to Angott and
five to Day, scoring four even.
Some thought Angott's margin was
wider. The Associated Press score
card gave him nine rounds and Day
six.
In New York and other non-
N. B. A. States, Lou Ambers still
is the lightweight champion. The
N. B. A. withdrew recognition of
his title after charging he failed to
defend it against an N. B. A.
selected challenger and chose Day
and Angott to fight 1t out for the
right Of succession.
Charley Jones, Angott's manager,
said the new N. B. A. champion
probably would fight three times
next month, first meeting Pete Latka
at Los Angeles. But Angott himself
wasn't interested for the moment.
Awaiting an Heir.
He telephoned his wife at WASH
ington, Pa, from which he trans
ferred his business address to Louis
vile, to inquire whether the couples
expected heir had arrived yet. It
hadn't, but Sammy smiled and said:
well, when he does. he's gonna
find his pops a champ"
Scaling half pound over Days
1874, Angott built up q substantial
point margin in the first six rounds
and carried the fight to the Chicago
puncher the rest of the way. There
were no knockdowns, although Day
skidded to a sitting position amid a
furry OF blows and pushes in the
third. He bounced right up again.

Buddy Baer Defeats

Show Title Stuff
Big Weight Edge Tells
As 249-Pounder Wins
On Technical Koyo
e. the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 4..-The boys
may stop talking about Gunnar
Barlund now that Buddy (the
bigger Baer has given a fairly
creditable demonstration of ability
both to take it and to hand 1t out.
But there was little, If anything,
in Buddy's performance against
Nathan Mann at Madison Square
Garden last night to stamp him as
contender for Joe Louis heavy
weight crown.
Had to Win or Else.
Max Baer's kid brother, you'll
remember, has been having hard
time trying to live down that Bar
lund fight two years ago, when he
pulled up short after a good start
and took a drubbing as a result.
1t was a case of win-or else-last
night and Buddy won. He punched
the lighter New Haven, Conn, vet
eran dizzy in the seventh round to
gain a knockout verdict after q
minute and 36 seconds.
That, at least, showed Buddy can
hit when necessary. He didn't do
any real damage in the first six
heats, relying upon his weight ad-
vantage-249 pounds to 1870 con-
troll Mann's offensive maneuvers.
Then he came out like killer,
sending over vicious rights and lefts
that twice floored Mann for nine
counts.
Mann Dizzy, Referee Stops 1t.
The second time he got up, Mann
turned in the wrong direction and
started to walk to his corner and
Referee Arthur Donovan signaled a
Baer victory.
On the matter of absorbing pun
ishment, Baer accepted everything
Mann had to offer for six rounds.
1t wasn't much. He got a few re-
spectacle thumps on the body, but
Matte had to leap upward to con-
meet with Buddy's jaw and the
blows didn't appear to hurt.
The attendance was 5,154.

Morgan 10 Study Ring
Game Before MAKING
Any Suggestions

Thomas P. Morgan, who will be
sworn in Monday as member of
the District Boxing Commission,
succeeding Fred Buchholz, has no
panacea guaranteed to cure the
sports ills, but intends to make a
thorough study of the situation be-
fore suggesting any changes, he said
today.
Morgan, prominent business and
civic leader as well as sportsman.
does think, however, a program of
beteter bouts-that is, outstanding
fights, could be substituted for the
weekly hash now being served by
Washington's two fistic plants His
idea is to promote less show if it
will improve the caliber.
Morgan is grandson of Thomas
P. Morgan, one of the first COM
missioners of the city under the pres
ent governmental setup. He is a
vice president of the Presidents Cup
Regatta, director of the Washington
Horse Show Association and a rid
ing, hunting and sailing enthusiast,
His civic connections are too numer-
GUS to mention here.
