To Open Saturday
Al Midd|eburg
Hunt Meet Is to Draw
Heavy Entry; Skinner
Memorial Tops List
BY LARRY LAWRENCE.

The spring meeting of the Middle
burg Hunt Meet Association will
provide the first really big event Of
the 1943 timber racing season.
Preparations are under way for the
races to be held at the Glenwood
Park course just outside Middleburg,
Va, next Saturday. The fall race
meet was Cancelled due to conflict
in dates with the United Hunts card
at Belmont, but special effort Is
being made to have this springs
meet highly successful.
War conditions have necessitated
reorganization of the affair, but
prospects are that the meet may be
improved by the new setup. No
money prizes will be awarded and
trophies for the different races will
be donated. Private subscriptions
have been collected to pay for the
necessary work of refurbishing the
course and repairing the jumps.
Nearby landowners will donate the
labor on race day.
Big Entry List Likely.
Present reports indicate lack Of
money prizes is not cutting down
the list Of entries.
The opening event will be the
Wanquepin for 3-year-olds and up
ward at about IL miles over hur-
dies. The third race will be the
William Skinner Memorial Steeple-
chase for 4-year-olds and upward
over 2-mile brush course. F. Am
brose Clark's Night Heron, piloted
by F.. Bellhouse, was last springs
winner over Rokeby Stables Meet
ing House.
The Panther Skin, 2-mile
steeplechase over brush for 4-year-
olds and upward, won last season
by Rokeby's Good Chance, should
provide fine entertainment. Among
other races will be the Covert, at
mile on the fiat.

The following have been asked to
act as stewards: Algernon S..
Craven, representing the National
Steeplechase and Hunt Association;

Alexander Will Tackle
Toughest Ring Task
In Archibald Bout
D. c. Boys Foe at UIine's
Friday Always Menace
In His Fights Here

Carroll (Kid) Alexander, former
Junior Golden Gloves and District
AAU boxing champion, takes on a
big load this Friday at Uline Arena
when he faces Joey Archibald of
Providence, R. l., former feather
weight titlist, in the eight-round
feature. Archibald is a ring-wise
veteran and while he may have lost
much Of the speed and polish that
made him a favorite here at one
time, he has an almost unmatched
record of victories in Washington.
1t has been extremely difficult to
beat him, or at least get the decision
over him here. Chalky Wright
managed to beat him here, but he
had to do it by a knockout in the
11th round.
Jeffra Decision Unpopular.
Others, particularly Harry Jeffra of
Baltimore, have experienced trouble
with Archibald. Twice Jeffra fought
him here, and twice Archibald was
given the duke, although in the opin-
ion OF flghtsfans it should have gone
Vic OGlICI way UOCll IlIIleS.
The decision given at the first
Archibald-Jeffra meeting on a cold
September night in 1899, when Arch
ibald successfully defended his
crown, still is regarded as the worst
ever handed down in local ring.
Referee Benny Leonard worked that
fight.
Alexander IS a former sparring
partner of Archibald's having
worked with him before the second
Jeffra bout here. He claims to know
Archibald's style, and plans rough,
tough attack in hope of wearing
down the aging Providence boxer.
Only last Monday he showed him.
self ready for good effort by knock
ing out Joe Woodley in the first
round at Baltimore.
Alexander Has Good Record.
Alexander has a pro record of %
wins, one draw and three defeats.
Billy Banks, Jim Collins and Billy
Reed were the ones to beat him, and
he later squared the Reed and Col
Inns accounts.
Two other eight t-rounders are on
Fridays program. One has yet to be
filled as Promoter Goldie Ahearn
casts about for an opponent for Her.
bert Marshall, Negro heavyweight
from Brooklyn. Five weeks ago he
tripped Gus DoraZio in Philadelphia
The other top attraction is between
Louis (Kid Cocoa, prominent well
ter, and Kid Robinson. Cocoa is no
stranger here, having beaten Phil
Furr and Andre Jessurun and
knocked out joey Sutka. He lost to
George Abrams.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Ted
Williams, who has had 40 hours
in the air since he joined the
Navy, is so enthusiastic over
flying that he plans to have his
own plane after the war.
Right over the plate-During
one of the Detroit Toronto
hockey playoff games, Referee
Bill Chadwick took an unex-
pected tumble just on the spot
where Bob Davidson had been
handed a terrific body check by
Jim Orlando. Looking for the
cause of his downfall, Chadwick
found part of a set of crockery
teeth. Since Davidson denied
that they belonged to him, Chad
wick is wondering whether some
fan had tried to put the bite on
him at long range or had just
yelled so loud the teeth popped
out.
