Armstrong Realizes He's
Not FIGHTER Of Old

A6oA11oO MOklOd1lCZ, AIulSUIO1lR
showed none of the ravages of age.
That was the best fight he had
made around here in a long time
better than either of his fights
with Lou Ambers, for in the Ambers
f1ghts-he won one and tossed the
other away by landing low punches
In five rounds-he really looked as
though he was slowing down
But in spite OF the fact that he
looked so good against Montanez,
he knows that he isn't quite the
fighter he used to be-that he isn't
quite the Armstrong who came
bobbing and weaving and throwing
punches out of the West a couple
OF years ago to take New York by
storm and win recognition as one
Of the great lightweights of all time.
If Armstrong never has fought
anybody just like jenkins, it is
true also that jenkins never has
fought anybody just like Armstrong,
for the reason Hlat there isn't any,
body just like the little Negro.
Like most good hitters, Jenkins
prefers to throw his punches at long
range. That's the way he knocked
out Tippy Larkin and Ambers-
and he isn't going to get many long
range shots at Armstrong, who will
be on him from the opening bell
and will stay there. failing away
at him with both hands so furiously
that he is going to have few chances,
If any, to set himself.
Jenkins Doesn't Depend
Alone on Long Ronee
Henry is going to herd Jenkins
along the ropes or into the corners
and put his head on his chest and
bang away, and when Jenkins
finally prizes him OF he is going to
come right back again in the
fashion that has been dishearten-
Ing to so many fighters.
Indeed, If Jenkins had to depend
solely on long-range punching he
wouldn't have much of chance.
But he doesnt-and that's what
makes the match exciting even in
prospect.
Jenkins can get a lot of power
Into short punch. too. Badly
hurt-as he has been In many of
his f1ghts-driven to the ropes and
IN danger of being knocked out, he
has turned the tide running too
swiftly against him with one good
smash inside.
Billy Marquart is only a second
rate lightweight but he can punch,
end in the fight that made jenkins
An New York he had the Texan on
the ropes and rushed in to finish
him. Then Jenkins nailed him with
q short right hand inside that was
the beginning of the end. The
punch drove Marquart back on his
heels and jenkins knocked him out
before he could recover.
1t will be Armstrong; task to wear
jenkins down before taking too
many punches like that-because
even he doesn't know how many
Of them he can take at his
pugilistically speaking - advanced
age.

The golf,ng gals around town
aren't going to be daunted by a
little hot weather and lack of Wom-
ems District Golf Association tour
naments during July and August.
On the heels of an eminently
successful feminine tourney at the
Capital Club, the women today an
nounced, through Mrs. Robert A.
Lacey. president of the feminine or
ganization, two more affairs in addi-
ton to the District Golf Associa-
ton mixed foursome at Columbia
today.
First on the list is a five-day
affair at the Bradley Hills Country
Club. This one will start July %,
with Is players to. qualify. Four
rounds Of match play will follow,
winding up July rs. 1t all sounds
good, but is it? BY the time the
gals have come in of the course
wilted and soggy under the hot
July sun some of them will wish
they'd never started. That is, il
the weather happens to be the good
old July brand popular in this
neighborhood around the last part
Of the month.
Later Date Preferable.
1t would seem that a date later
In the year, preferably in October
after the other Journeys are over,
could have been chosen for this one.
OF course. it conflicts with two big
mems affairs, but that is small mat
ter to the women. The MARYLAND
open will be played at Columbia
July q, while the qualifying rounds
for the p. G. A. championship are
scheduled at Five Farms July 26.
1t happens to be a nice gesture on
the part of Eddie Adams, owner of
the Bradley Hills Club. Eddie is
putting up a big trophy. to be in
annual competition and to go to a
three-time winner. Mrs. Adams will
take entries at Wisconsin 1884 up to
July 10.
Second on the feminine tourney
list land this may be big one) is a
pro-woman affair, scheduled for
Kenwood around July 30. Mrs
Lacey has been working on this
affair for some time, and it will be
held late in the month. With the
assistant pros counted in there will
be around IS pros eligible. And there
won't be any trouble getting femi-
nine partners for them. The gals
really 60 for these mixed foursome
events, just as they are doing today
at Columbia.
Out there on the big course near
Chevy Chase Lake it isn't probable
that any pair will crack the all-time
record of 70 for a mixed foursome
set couple of years ago by Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard T. Kreuzburg of Ken
wood. Columbia, as it plays nova
days. is one of the longest courses
around town. But with selective
drives in order anything may hap
pen. Some pair may get the puts
rolling and bear down for a II or
better.
Mrs. Meckley Wins Another.
Consistent Betty Meckley won an
other chunk Of silver in the delight
full little affair staged at Capital
scoring an SO over that rugged course
to win the gross award by two

Wright, Patsy Palmer Maintain
Districts Swimming Prestige
With A. A. II. Meet Victories

Washington swimmers continued
to hold high place in Eastern COM
petition today. although it was ap-
parent that the local women's divi-
sion was not as strong as heretofore.
Helping the District representa-
tives keep their heads above water
were Bill Wright of Washington
Golf and Country Club and Patsy
Palmer of the Shoreham Club, who
got total of four firsts in the Dis
tAct A. A. U. meet at the Airport
Pool last night.
Wright scored firsts in the mems
60-yard free style event and also
was a member of the winning 180-
yard medley relay team to give his
club first place with Is points. Bal
timore K. Of c. placed second with
Is points, all gathered from minor
places.
Miss Palmer in the girls division
won the e0-yard free style and the
60-yard backstroke. She also nm
ished third behind Jackie Kinsley Of
Airport Pool in the breaststroke.
The winning Women's Swimming
Association team which scored IS
points was composed of Lorraine

Summary.

Risk arrived here yesterday from
a tour of New England and New
York. Informed of Henson's per-
formance he remarked, Say I've
walked into something, sure enough"
But he grinned, and well he might.
In match several days ago at
Sunnyslde, Long Island, the lanky
Hoosier' averaged 90 per cent, and
a short time before topped his own
world record of IS consecutive ring
ers with a string of Al pitched in
an exhibition in Boston. Risks
official mark of As was established
under championship conditions sew
eral years ago at St. Petersburg, Fla.
Jimmy will Show His Tricks.
At Quincy, Mass. Risk tossed con-
secutive games of 88, 81 and 81 per
cent, which likely will be the tempo
of the battle Thursday night. Fol-
lowing the contest Risk will display
some of his tricks. The title of
world champion trick pitcher was
conferred upon him by the National
Horseshoe Pitchers Association.
The match is one of several spe-
cial attractions that will precede the
18th annual Evening Star champion
ships, to be held during the first
two weeks in August. This tourna-
ment. as usual. will cap the ringer
season here. Henson will be the
defending champion in the feature
event, the Metropolitan playoffs,
which will pit the best performers
in the District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia sections.
Risks brilliant scores in New Eng
land and New York were pitched
as exhibitions, but the pressure will
be on when he faces Henson. The
colorful Virginian's fame has spread
through the country and his scalp
would be worth while to Risk. He
earns his livelihood-a surprisingly
excellent one-tossing the irons, and
defeat on his record would be
most unwelcome.
The match will start at Bpm.

Browne| Eyeing Golf
Peak He Lost When
Leg Was Broken

Bobby Brownell, the kid wonder of
three or four years back when he
licked Roger Peacock for the Dis
trict championship, is getting back
into golf.
Bobby yesterday played his first
full round in more than four months.
He broke leg in March in school,
boy soccer skirmish at Duke Univer-
sity, and since has been out of golf.
That wistful blond boy you've seen
around at tournaments lately hob
bling along with the aid of a cane
was Brownell, the lad who has as
much golf in him as any youngster
ever developed around Washington.
Bobby plans to play in the Anna
teur championship at Mamaroneck,
N. Y, in September IF his leg holds
up" He will enter the champion
ship and play in the sectional rounds
at Chevy Chase late in August.
Long Shots Go Astray.
For the last two weeks Brownell
has been hitting a few shots around
Manor. playing the inside" nine.
Strangely his long shots have been
going astray. Those are the shots
that a good player can make blind
folded. But his short game is per-
fection," says his brother Jim. HE
has been knocking the pin out of the
cup with those and 9 irons"
Any one who has followed ANA
teur golf around town over the last
few years knows Bobby Brownell
as the youngster with the brightest
promise of all the boys around 81.
Bobby was the only amateur around
town last year to qualify both for
the Amateur and Open champion
ships. In 1888. he was the only local
amateur to reach the match play
stage of the Amateur championship.
In other words, if you use the record
as a yardstick Bobby was the hot
test golfer around town.
Injury Might Mar Game.
He was being groomed for the No.
2 spot on the Duke University team
this year, just below Skip Alexan-
der, one Of the best of the collegiates,
when he stuck his leg in the path
Of fast travelling soccer boot. Some
thing had to give and 1t wasn't the
boot. Bobby got himself legful of
double fracture.
Just what effect 1t will have on
his budding golf game no one knows
yet. But it has set him back q
year ut least. The medicos say that
even II he can play. as well as ever
the injured gam" will ache after q
lengthy session Of golf. And COM
petition In the amateur champion
ship involves plenty Of lengthy ses-
sions-something like SO holes . day
for five straight days.

Henry Fights Years
As Well as Lew
By GRANTLAND RICE,
sn.ei.l correspondsnt Of The star.

GpeClAl correspondent Oh Inc SIHI.
NEW YORK. Jlly 16 (NANA)-
How much have the long years of
campaigning taken out of Henry
Armstrong? The answer will be
furnished at the Polo Grounds to-
morrow night when Lew Jenkins
pops him on the chin few times.
1t isn't hard to hit Henry. Every
body he has fought has his him
plenty. But 1t is hard to hit him
squarely-and up to now, even
harder to hurt him. He has taken
some heavy punches and moved
right through them, shaking them
off, swarming over his opponent
and knocking him out or wearing
him down.
Sometimes he has appeared al
most superhuman-as though he
was absolutely tireless and couldn't
be hurt. But the legend of the
superman was f1attened a long
time ago. No matter how i'm
pervious a fighter may seem to
punishment, the night comes when
he can't take it any more-or not
as well as he used to.
Punishment and the years soften
the hardest chins and the stoutest
ribs. Nobody knows exactly how
many years Armstrong has been
fighting. nor how many fights he
has had. Even he, he told me once,
couldn't check back accurately
through the days when he was
known as Melody Jackson and was
fighting through the tank towns
and up and down the Pacific Coast.
Troinine Comes q Little
Tougher Doy by Doy
Fight experts, watching him tear
down the clever boxers he has faced
and wear out the light-hitting
maulers, are agreed that the only
way to beat him is to stiffen him
but so far the fellows who have
tried to stiffen him have found
their punches about as effective as
q handful of pebbles thrown at a
tank.
jenkins, though, hits harder than
any man Armstrong has fought,
with the possible exception Of
Ceferino Garcia. who came nearest
to having Henry in real trouble
with punch on the chin. And
jenkins is faster and smarter than
Garcia, and this fight will offer a
better test of Armstrong; ability
to soak up punishment than any
fight he ever has had.
That Henry has begun to feel
the pressure of the years is certain.
He said so himself while he was
training here for the last fight he
had in the Garden. That was the
fight in which he stopped the
Puerto Rican. Pedro Montanez.
Training comes a little harder
than it used to-" he said one day
as he was getting into his gym
clothes. That's because I'm not
as young as I used to be. When
you've been In this business for
years, every days training becomes
q little tougher. The grind that
once was so easy wears on you. and
you get so that some days you hate
It,"

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Unto thee will I cry, o Lord my
rock Save thy people, and bless
thine inheritance: feed them also,
and lift them up for ever These
words from the Psalms are the
Golden Text in the Lesson Sermon
on Adam and Fallen Man" on
Sunday in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist.
Among the selections from the
Bible are these verses from Luke
And John calling unto him two
of his disciples sent them to Jesus,
saying, Art thou lie that should
come? or look we for another?
And in that same hour he cured
many of their infirmities and
plaques, and of evil spirits; and un-
to many that were blind he gave
sight. Then Jesus answering said
unto them, Go your way, and tell
John what things ye have seen and
heard; how that the blind see, the
lame walk, the lepers are .cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised
to the poor the gospel is preached.
And blessed is he, whosoever shall
not be offended in me-"
Passages from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy state: "The
divine nature was best expressed in
Christ Jesus, who threw upon NOR
tails the truer reflection of God and
lifted their lives higher than their
poor thought-modelS would allow
thoughts which presented man as
fallen, sick, SHINING, and dying"
"As mortals begin to understand
Spirit, they give up the belief that
there is any true existence apart
from God"
