RooseveIt's Brownriee
Deemed Boy to Beot
In 3-Doy Affair
All that has gone before, including

AL that has gone before, including
virtual settling Of two team cham
pionships, will be forgotten 10 days
hence when the schoolboy golfers
around town get together at three
local country clubs to decide their
individual championship.
The Washington high school team
championship virtually is over.
Roosevelt, barring a complete re-
versal of form. has the title sewed
up. The only way Roosevelt could
lose would be to drop all three re-
manning matches while Wilson, now
in second place, wins all its three
contests. Roosevelt. which already
has licked Wilson, 9 to O, this year.
also is slated to meet Western and
Coolidge, two teams which have
been no standouts in the series.
Meet Sites May Be Changed.
The individual championship tour
ney is three-day affair, with quail
flying rounds to be played May ~
at Manor. How the boys are going
to get to that far-away club with
out gasoline is something for them
to figure out, but they'll do 1t II
they have to hitch-hike on farm
trucks.
The following day they move over
to Kenwood for two match rounds,
starting at 8 and 1880 am. Semi
final and final rounds are scheduled
at Congressional Sunday, May "a,
starting at the same early hours.
There again the gasoline problem
becomes acute.
1t could develop that the whole
show may be transferred to Rock
Creek Park or East Potomac Park
if the schoolboys cannot get to out
lying clubs.
Brownrigg Is Standout.
On the record to date, Bill Brown
rigg, Roosevelt captain, looms as
the lad to lick. Sorrel-topped Bill
consistently has turned in the lowest
scores Of the schoolboys, with Buster
Mrstik, No. l man for Bethesda
Chevy Chase, running a close Sec
ond. Mrstik has taken the top spot
on the Bethesda team from tall
Alton Willett, the schoolboy champ.
Others with q chance to win the
individual crown include Art Myers,
Joe Barse and Charley Grimm of
the strong Roosevelt OUTFIT: Bill
Altman of Anacostia, Buddy Bry-
lawski of st. Adams and Neil Sulli-
van and Charley Price Of George

Here Pitches Glitter
As Borons Register
Shutout Victory

Bethesda Chevy Chase's pitching
problem apparently is solved-again.
Coach Larry Williams at times this
season has had his choice of three
or four good hurlers, and a week
later all his pitchers made better
outflelders.
Back in the fold now as pitcher
Is Hero Latimer. Last week he
earned a starting spot against Blair,
the Barons' county rival, and his
control was perfect, with an easy
ball right down the middle. The
Blazers loved it and upset the
Barons, but yesterday Hero was
given another hurting chance and
made good.
He pitched a six-hitter as Be-
thesda topped Landon, GA. All of
the Barons' runs came in the fourth
inning, to oversome 20 Landon
edge at that point.

Lanham Crash Show
To Be Held Tonight
Despite B|ackout

Plans for tonight's practice black
out will not interfere with the auto
mobile and motorcycle crash show
at West Lanham Speedway, ac-
cording to Track Manager Tom
Lane. The show, which also Is
slated for tomorrow night, will fea-
ture Ken Butler, one-legged movie
stunt man, and his Hollywood
Suicide Legion.
Lane feels reasonable certain the
program, which begins at $50, will
be over tonight before the black
out, but the track will comply with
all regulations in case the practice
is called before the final act tonight.
Tonight's and tomorrow's crash
show and Friday nights midget auto
race probably will end activities at
West Lanham for the season be-
cause of gasoline rationing.
Butler and his associates tonight
will present 17-event performance
featuring such acts as crashes
through fire, automobile roll-over,
head-on collisions and similar
death-defying stunts.

Battle in Kitchen
Is Likely 10 Cost
Billy S125,000
Out Of Ring for 10 Weeks.
Contender May Miss
Second Louis Bout
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer.


NEW YORK, May 12-The punch
Billy Conn landed on his father-in-
laws head. in a fight that started
out as q "kiss-and- makeup" feast,
may cost the Pittsburgh pretty boy
q cool $125 900 or more.
That's what he could have ex-
pected as his share from his planned
late June or early July fight with
Joe Louis, which veteran fight men
figured would have drawn at least
three-quarters of a million dollars.
This tussle now is of because the
punch broke Billy's hand and put
him out of action for 10 weeks or
more.
OF course, Promoter Mike Jacobs
says Billyll get return shot at the
Bomber in September, but no one
knows whether it'll be as hot" an
attraction then or whether condi-
tions will be such as to permit these
two soldier boys to hold a big out
door fight. Meantime, the June or
July title chance will go to some one
else, probably Robert Pastor in New
York, Cleveland or Chicago.
Kitchen Is battle-ground.
Billy was back at Fort Wadsworth
today taking up his buck-privating
where he left of before going to
his Pittsburgh home for the chris
tening Of his month-old son, David
Philip. 1t was only a few hours
after that ceremony Sunday that
his father-in-law, former National
League Outfielder Jimmy Smith,
summoned Conn through a friend
to the Smith home to straighten out
their differences.
The two have been at odds for
three years, ever since Billy first
met and fell in love with the girl
who now is his wife-Smith's daugh-
ter, Mary Louise. When they were
married a year ago, Smith threat
ened to punch Conn's head or"
and since then the feud hasn't
cooled of a bit.
The invitation to talk it over
came by phone to Billy at his home
from Art Rooney, Pittsburgh pro
football and fight promoter and
friend of both.
Il went to Smiths house as Art
asked" Billy related. Then Smith
said, You and I have got some
things to talk over. Let's 60 in the
kitchen
Poked Hand Through Window.
When we got there he started to
holler at me. I told him to talk
quietly, that I could hear. Then he
said. Aren't you scared of me?' and

body, particularly him. Then 1t
started hit him on the head. and
that's when broke my hand. It
only lasted a few minutes before
friends separated us. In the con-
fusion my shirt was ripped OF. and
I wound up with just my tie around
my neck"
During the scrap Billy also re-
ceived q choice collection of
scratches over the bridge Of his
nose, dangerously close to his eyes.
His right arm suffered a long, deep
cut-"When I missed and poked it
through q window" he explained.
X-rays revealed fracture in his
left hand, and his physician said
he would be unable to use it at all
for at least four weeks. After that
he might take light training for a
while. before starting the six weeks
