The District A. A. U. boxing tourn-
ament had a colorful new drawing
card today in farm youngster who
is so enthusiastic about tossing his
fists that he is supposed to have
fractured hand while employing
COW as a punching bag, although
that is suspected of being some bull.
Anyway, Larry Baldwin Of the
st. Mary's Boys Club, a lanky,
flame-thatched novice welterweight,
set himself in solid with fans last
night at Turner's Arena by regis
tering a decision over Vernon Todd
of Prince Georges County Police
Boys Club in one of those hectic
engagements that typifies amateur
swinging.
Baldwin never ceased tossing
leather, playing a symphony of swat
on Todd's chin in the first round
before dropping him in the second
session with a neat left hook to
the jaw. Baldwin moved into the
Semlf1nal round and the customers
will return to view him in action.

MacMitcheII 10 Run

Greet Miller to Figure
In Race With Hoyos,
Rums in &. u. Meet

Announcement of Leslie Mac
Mitchell's appearance in the Cath
Ollie University games at Uline Arena
next Monday night will strike re-
sponsive chord among track fans
who like to see the best runners in
action.
MacMitchell, brightest star in the
track armament, Is the years cham
pion miller and the lad hailed as
most likely to lower the record for
that distance-if it is TO be lowered.
He will not run that race here,
however, but Is entered with New
York University's 2-mile relay team
on which he runs the anchor leg.
But no matter where he runs or
what distance the customers will see
one Of the greatest trackmen of the
generation.
Great Race in Prospect.
To insure adequate competition
for the crack Violet quartet, Dor
sey Grifith, director of the meet,
has arranged to have Fordham and
Georgetown enter teams in the race,
and on form 1t should be a nip and
tuck affair.
MacMitcheu climaxed great
winter season by hanging up a new
mile mark in the 1. C. "A. cham
pionship mile at New York last week,
going the distance in 4:l2 fat, four
tenths of a second under the record
Norwood Hallowell of Harvard back
in 1882. That was not his best time,
however, record or no record.
He was clicked in 4:107 in the
Hunter mile at Boston, his best ef-
fort of the season, and has been
around 4:12 consistently. He start
ed slowly, losing several races to
Walter Mehl before finally catch
ing up with the bespectacled Wis
consin ace in the Seton Hall games
where he beat him on an unbanked
track in the good time of 4:234.
Hasn't Reached His Peak.
Emil Won Filing, N. Y. U. track
coach, believes MacMitchell still is
| two years away from his peak and
while he hasn't said so there isn't
much doubt in track followers
minds that he expects Les to crack
Cunningham indoor mark of 4:04
when he reaches the zenith OF his
career. Won Filing, one of the most
capable tutors in the business, has
nursed along the lean youngster
carefully, not stressing victories or
records, but merely planning a
course of bringing him gradually to
his peak. Thus, when MacMitchen
goes out and breaks 4:10 mile it
would seem to indicate that Won
Elling has a better runner on his
hands than even he recognized.

Lash in 2-MiIe Race
OF Baltimore Meet
On Friday Night
Greet Hoosier TO Run
Against McCIuskey in
One Of HeudIiners

Don Lash, who rides motorcycle
for the Indiana State police as a
business, but runs for the fun of it,
will go to the post in the 2-nile run
in the University Of Maryland-5th
Regiment games at Baltimore Fri
day night.
Lash, who has more medals than
a retired genera and holds the
National A A. U. cross-country
championship, will fly east from
Bloomington after finishing his tour
of duty Thursday and if he travels
as fast in the 2-mile event a new
record may be written into the
books.
Opposing the flying Hoosier will
be a star studded field, including
old Joe McCluskey, modern counter
part of Father Time, who apparently
is improving with age. The 29-year-
old veteran has won % national
titles, tieing Willie Ritola, the great
Finnish runner of another era, for
the most championships.
Joe proved there still is a lot Of
life in the old legs by going out and
coping the 2-nile steeplechase in
the national A. A. U. games at New
York last week in the record shat
tering time of 1884. That was II
seconds under his own mark for that
gruelling event and one of his vic
tins was Forest Efaw, youthful
Oklahoma Aggie runner.
Lash, the first runner to beat nine
minutes for the distance both in
doors and outdoors, probably will be
the favorite, but McCluskey, who
was second to Tommy Deckard last
year after winning in 1888, will have
host of supporters.

Street Lighting

Wilmington's need for physical improve
ments is becoming more and more apparent to
the people and the authorities as work at the
Holly Ridge base advances and more and
more people arrive here to participate both
in construction there and to benefit by the
impetus that project is to give business here.
There is almost a feverish tone to building
and remodeling, for example, which reflects
recognition among owners of an opportunity
to convert their property into revenue. And
city and county officials, too, are at work with
the defense council in drafting a program
which will meet the needs of the community
both for service and benefit.
But one improvement, long overdue, seems
to have escaped attention thus far. 1t is the
better lighting of streets in residential areas.
At present. street-lighting is so inadequate,
beyond the business district, that the head
lights of an automobile seem almost like ris.
ing suns. Whether existing lights are too high
or too hidden by trees, the globes in use too
small, or lights are too few, are matters to be
determined by a survey; but it takes no spe.
cially trained mind to know that something
is wrong with street lighting and that until
the fault is corrected Wilmington homes will

A Notable Lecture

The Sorosis club is fortunate to secure j. v.
Whitfield as a lecturer and Wilmington is
blessed in having the opportunity to hear him
in a series of talks on our good Neighbors,"
the first of which will be delivered tonight
at the club house on Brazil, Uruguay and
Argentina.
Mr.. Whitfield's intimate, first-hand know
ledge of the countries to be discussed and his
fine platform presence, coupled with the i'm
portance Latin America has attained in our
own defense program in a common emer-
gency, give to this first talk, and the others
that will follow. great Informative value.
The lecturer is a good friend of Wilmington
and the possibilities of advancement through
this ports improvement are excellently set
forth in an article from his pen reproduced
on this page. The attention of Star readers
is invited to this article, which appeared in a
Wallace newspaper, as it shows the need for
a united front to promote port development.

Reminiscent Of House

President Roosevelt's decision to send Harry
Hopkins to London as his personal representa-
tive is reminiscent of the activities carried
on abroad by the late Colonel House as Presi-
dent Wilson'S personal envoy during the first
World war.
The Chief Executive, of course, has a per-
feet right to send anyone he wants to Europe
as his representative, and there can be no
doubt that Mr.. Hopkins is closer to him thar
anyone in Washington. The former social serv-
ice worker, WPA administrator and secretary
of commerce has been a close associate of
Mr.. Roosevelt's since early New Deal days
and he has been living at the White House
for many months. This intimate relationship
should make Mr.. Hopkins a trustworthy
mouthpiece for the Presidents inmost thoughts
when he goes abroad.
But it is questionable if Mr.. Hopkins has
any other qualifications for this highly conf.
dental mission. Certainly he has had no dip
lcmatic experience, and he has shown no es-
pecial talent in his public career at Washing
ton for making friends or composing differ
ences between anita gonistic factions and
groups.
If this seems to give his services abroad a
slightly pessimistic tint, it may be hoped that
his recent close contact with Mr.. Roosevelt
NAV have given him some insight of the meth
DDS successfully employed by his friend who
is not lacking in astuteness and the smooth.
ness indispensable from competent diplomatic
service. Perhaps life at the White House has
enabled him to mend his ways.
