.leavens Lands Third
Win Over Welsh in
Exhibition Tennis

A tennis crowd which packed
Kenwood Clubs bleacher seats to
capacity, filed all the sideline chairs
and stood several deep behind the
baselines saw a much-improved Don
Leavens rout Barney Welsh, 6-2,
6-1, last night in the feature of
three exhibition matches.
1t was case of history repeating
itself for Leavens twice before

hibitions before Welsh turned the
tables in two subsequent tourna-
ment finals. Last night, however,
Leavens outdrove Welsh in base
line exchanges and seemed a far
different player than the one Bar

feated Bill Kenney of Army Navy,

Monn; CoriIIi Here

Jimmy De Chard figures to be
favorite on Monday when he goes
against Joe Carilli, Hartford Comm
heavyweight, in the eight-round fea-
ture of the Joe Turner testimonial
fight program at Griffith Stadium.
Both De Chard and Carilli, who
arrived in Washington this morning,
were putting the finishing touches
on their training today. Jimmy has
been working hard all week at the
Northeast gym of frankie Mann, his
discoverer, and is reported In excel
lent shape. Weighing around 1876,
he will be 10 pounds less than Carilli.
Although De Chard is favorite,
Mann denies that Carilli is any set
up for his boy. We've never asked
for setup and we don't want any.
All we want is even-up matches" is
the way he puts it.
Mann is warning his boy about
setup talk and repeatedly tells him
that Carilli can hit. The Northeast
manager was present several times
while Carilli was working as Joe
Louis sparring partner for the
Buddy Baer fight and is advising
caution regarding his sharp right,
pointing out that Carilli and another
fighter, George Nicholson, were the
only ones to last the full l2-day
training grind Louis had at River
side Stadium. Carilli, of course
achieved some measure Of fame by
knocking Louis to the canvas dur
ing one of these sparring bouts.

This year may see the last of
organized tournaments in various
cities of this section promoted by
the Middle Atlantic Professional
Golfers Association. Witty Cox,
prexy of the Mid-Atlantic P. G.. A..
would appoint in future years a
tournament chairman for each sec
ton, whose duty it would be to
arrange and promote golf affairs
in Washington. Baltimore and Rich
mond, the chief cities within the
association territory.
Long Distances to Cover.
This is a big section" said Cox.
Baltimore is $50 miles from Rich
mond, and downstate Virginia is
200-odd miles from Baltimore and
Washington. It's my idea that each
city should have tournament chair
man who would arrange tournaments
during the year in his city. He
would invite all Middle Atlantic
P. G.. A. members to play in the
events, but the association should
not have to see to the arranging
of them. That would be the job
of the chairman in each city.
But Cox isn't falling down on the
job of attending tournaments and
meetings. With several more local
pros he attended pro gathering

Col. Winn Discusses
AII-Time Turf Aces
By GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

NEW YORK, July l9 IN. A. N. Al.
Which is the all-time horse Of the
turf? Man o War, Exterminator. or
possibly WhirlaWay? And from
somewhere deep in the past I hear
dim voice which calls, What
about Colin?'
I put this tangled problem up to
an expert who was just celebrating
his 9th birthday anniversary and
who had been looking back over the
pick of the past for more than so
years. His name is Col. Matt Winn,
the Kentucky Derby's caliph. the
sultan of Churchill Downs.
1t might be Just as we'll to mention
here that at the age of 80 Col. Winn
retains all but three of his original
teeth and that in those four-score
years he has yet TO know what a
headache or a stomach ache Is, or
to suffer his first operation,
On his Both birthday a friend told
Matt. The first 40 years Of mans
life are devoted to mash; the second
40 years to cash"
That" said the colonel, leaves
me in one heluva fix What am I
going to do from now on?"
All of which carries us back to the
original argument concerning Man
o. War, Exterminator and Whirl-
away.
Must Rote Man O. War on His
Record as 3-Yeor-Old
In the first place" the colonel
said, Man O. War must be judged
as a 3-year- old, since he never
raced after that age. You can call
him the greatest 3-year-old. But
since time, in alltime greatness, is
big factor, I should say that EX-
terminator, still living and frlsklng
on a Virginia farm. must be rated
beyond the Swear limit as the top
horse. with WhirlaUsv in close pur-
suit if Warren Wright's fast, stron~
3-year-old can keep going on. b.
he still has a lot of ground to MAKE
I up before we can put him above EX-
terminator in the all-age class. Ma
be he will be the top horse Of 81
time Well have to wait for that"
"EXterminator was a geldinC
another expert cut in. You can :
rate geldings that high"
! Well, we rate 'em by their record
on what they did on what they were

"Exterminator," he told me. W.

6-furlong race one week and 2-mile
race the next. He could carry 1873
pounds and never show it. He could
handle a fast track or a sloppy one.
And he was the smartest horse away
from the gate that ever lived. No
Jockey or starter could ever get him
left behind. He took care Of that
on his own.
"Exterminator was a great Swear
old. But don't forget he still was
winning many years later. He was
fast. strong and dead game"
Ben Jones, trainer of Whirlavay,
backs up this opinion.

Usuol Reactions Missing
After WhirIy Speeds

iii tell an amazing story about
Whirlaway," Bob Robertson went
on. Il happened to be around the
day he worked out that fast mile
and quarter before the Belmont.
His workout was only a trifie over
2:02. Now 1t is pretty we'll known
fact that after such fast time over
that distance a horse shows some
after effects. Also he doesn't care
about eating or even taking a drink
Of water. Not for while, anyway.
But after this workout Whirl-
away gave no sign that he had
even run 100 yards. He appeared
as fresh as he was at the start. Not
only that, but before his saddle and
bride could be removed, he pulled
away from his handler and began
cropping grass out in the rain.
'Whirlaway will have to be Judged
largely on later races. He started
his 3-year-old career raggedly. But
he is finishing 1t brilliantly-so far.
Most of his big races now wait on
ahead. And 1t would surprise me If
he didn't keep on winning and
probably reach the s50o,O0O marx"
