performers last night when Larry
Baldwin, st. Mary's welterweight,
lost to Lloyd Rauschkolb of Ma
tional Training School in the novice
class.
A tall, rangy youngster, constructed
along lines similar to Bob FitSim-
mons. Baldwin is the kind of a
prospect every manager dreams of
plotting. He has had only five formal
engagements with gloves on. Last
nights defeat was his first and it
was one of those decisions that could
have gone either way.
Baldwin lives on 23-acre farm
3 miles from Alexandria and nightly
trudges into st. Mary's gym and
home again. Before going to classes
in the morning at Mount Vernon
High School he milks three COWS
and attends to other farm chores.
Several months ago he broke his
right hand punching a COW after
it had kicked over a milkpail, but
it failed to interrupt his training.
He merely had Coach Naiman Mas
sey tie the hand to his side so he
couldn't use it inadvertently and
boxed with his left.
Breaks Cast on Fans Head.
A born fighter, he broke the cast
over an enthusiastic fans head one
night at an amateur show when
they disagreed on a decision. AL
though only Is years old, he de-
clared himself Is to get into the
tournament. He appears II.
He has two older brothers who
are more inclined to esthetic call
ings. Robert is an artist and James
has literary leanings, particularly
in poetry.
But another popular favorite Jared
better than Baldwin when Ray
McAlwee, son of Ben McAlwee, Sec
retary of the Washington Duckpin
Association and bowling writer,
blasted his way into the semifinals
at the expense of Dick Hunt in the
l26-pound novice class. Young Nc
Alwee, only recently recovered from
a broken jaw, took one to get in
