Astronomer Turner
Reveals New Star
In bockwink|e

Joe Turner, the eminent astronomer
who can spot new star at 40 PAGES
without so much as a pair of spec
tacles, today had new discovery to
report to the scientific minds who
weekly crowd into his little w street
planetarium for a scholarly re-
search. The professor calls his latest
discovery Warren Bockwinkle, which
was the only meager clue he found
on the shipping tag when said
satellite arrived from the New York
Office.
Bockwinkle's appearance in the
local wrestling armament poses a
problem for Herr Turner, who for
the last several weeks has been
building another star - Tommy
OToole, into a headline attraction
OToole did nothing to disturb the
professors pride last night as he
disposed of Jack Russell, but Book
winkle also looked good in pinning
handsome Don Evans. Thus, Turner
will have to draw straws to decide
which is the more important.

Terror and knocked him for a milky

ScaIzo Signs 10 Fight
Perrin Here May IS
For Feather Title
Turner Expects Jimmy
To Accept Terms for
Engagement Today

Joey Scalzo's still-damp signature
was on the dotted line today and
Promoter Joe Turner eagerly awaited
word from Jimmy Perrin to close
out match May Is at Griffith Sta
dium between the pair for the Ma
tlonal Boxing Association copy of
the world featherWeight champion
ship.
Pete Reilly, Scalzo's agent, met
with Turner last night and after a
brief conference agreed to terms.
Reilly agreed to take the bout on a
percentage basis, which was urged
by the N. B. A.
The association, meanwhile, with
drew its recognition of Joey Archi-
balds claim to the title at midnight
last night after his persistent refusal
to sign to defend his laurels against
one of three top-ranking challengers
named by the association. Archi-
bald is scheduled to box Harry Jeffra
at Baltimore in May in bout rec
ognized as title argument by both
Maryland and New York.
Turner today said Scalzo, who
knocked out Archibald in the second
round of a non-title engagement,
would be willing to meet Joey later
in the summer if he hurdles Perrin
and Archibald gets by Jeffra. The
promoter presumed Perrin also
would agree to such a match if he
won the title from Scako. In the
event that Jeffra wins, Turner hopes
to sign him or Simon Chavez. third
OF the N. B. AS three highest chal-
lengers, for second title bout here

Perrin, telegraphed by Turner last
night, was made an attractive offer
and is expected the accept the date
without delay. Turner thought he
would have a reply from New Or
leans, the fighters headquarters,
early this afternoon.

Manor, Chevy Chase

Sectional Play
Tournaments Assigned
CopitoI by Specific
U. S. 6. A. Request
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Washington gets both the amateur
and open golf championship sec.
tional qualifying tests in this terri
tory in 1910.
The sectional trials for the Ma
tional Open championship, open tc
all professionals and to amateurs
with handicaps of or less, will be
played at the Manor Country Club
on Monday, May 27.
The sectional tests for the ma
tional amateur championship, open
to amateurs with handicaps of or
less, will be played at the Chevy
Chase Club on Tuesday, August 27
In announcing the assignment OF
courses and dates today, the Mary
land State Golf Association said
both tournaments were assigned to
Washington courses at the specific
request of the United States Golf
Association. The State association
said the U. S. G. A. asked this year
that both Journeys be held here
presumably because Washington not
only is the geographical center of
the Middle Atlantic territory, but
also is the golfing hub.
Title Struggle in June.
The Open championship proper
will be played June 6, and 8 at the
Canterbury Golf Club OF Warrens-
vile, Ohio, near Cleveland. Entries
will close with the U. S. G. A. on
May IA.
The amateur championship will
be played at the Winged Foot Club
Of Mamaroneck, NJ Y, September
Ola. Usually between three and
five places are assigned to this sector
in the open championship tests,
while between S and 10 places are
assigned in the amateur champion
ship trials. Assignment of places
depends on the number of entries
from the various sectors. With the
major championships relatively close
to Washington this year, a big entry
list should be forthcoming in each
of the two sectional affairs.
Last year the open championship
trials were held at Congressional, re-
sulting in the qualifications of Leo
Walper, Witty Cox and AL Houghton,
all local professionals. Bobby
BrownWell was the lone local quail
fier for the amateur championship
in the sectional trials held at Balti-
more in 1899.
Figures D. C. as Golf Center.
Both Manor and Chevy Chase
have held the sectional tryouts in
previous years. Six years ago Henry
Picard. present P. G.. A. champion.
failed to qualify for the open cham
plonship at Manor He came here
from Charleston to play. Chevy
Chase has held the amateur sectional
trials twice. Robert Stead, jr., rep
resents this section on the U. S. G. A.
Committee.
For several years the United
States Golf Association has held the
view that Washington is the hub of
golf activity in this sector and re-
peatedly has asked that major tour
naments be assigned to the Capital.
The latest request-that both sec
tional trials come to Washington
this years. in line with their atti-
tude on golf here.
The sectional trials will be open
to players in the District, MARYLAND
and Virginia. with such transfer"
players as may be approved by the
association. Sam Snead. who topped
the sectional rounds for the open
championship at Congressional last
year, was transfer" who ordinarily
would have qualified in West Vir-

Even Leonard Figured
He Was No Good

This merely is a second guess, and
somewhat uncalled for In justice
to Casey Stengel and Bob quinn
the wardens of the Brooklyn club
at the time Leonard got away
the Dutchman was not "a good
looking pitcher" Mr.. Leonard ad-
mitted this himself at the time.
IT can't seem to get going" he
told some of us newspaper pests
about five springs ago.
You'll be all right, Dutch" some
body said, with hollow reinsurance
Don't fool yourself" said the
Dutchman. "I can feel the hot
breath of the minor leagues on my
neck right now"
He was quite correct. A few DAYS
later the minor leagues caught up
with him.
It's lonely, discouraging road
that Leonard trudged in the seasons
between his release by Brooklyn and
his rescue by Clark Griffith, the
vulpine chief of the Washington
club. For an athlete of intelligence
and imagination, who has breathed
the air of the major leagues, it is
doubly hard to be condemned for
what looks like eternity to a life in
the bush. Many young men of Is
would have pulled up short at the
prospect. and quit right there.
