two cellists were chatting amiably

Founder House Razed
In Hospital Expansion
Alexandria Group Had
Protested Destruction

Workmen at the Alexandria Hos
pital today were carrying the last
bricks from the basement of the
Snowden founder house which
was razed to make room for hospital
expansion
A plea to save the house, which
faces Washington street and is be-
lieved to have been built about 1870,
was made by the Thornton Society
on ground the Mount Vernon
Memorial highway had been routed
through Alexandria with condition
that Colonial architecture along the
route would be left unchanged.
The Hospital Board of Trustees
granted the society permission to
move the house, but this was aban-
doned after it was found the expense
would not justify the move.
Robert G. Whitton, hospital di-
rector, said the house was torn down
in the best interests of the entire
hospital project. He added there
are other examples Of founder
houses" still standing
The founder house received its
name through its high windowless
rear wall and roof which slopes to
the front.

Tells of Fund Lack.
He told the crowd that every year
the summer concerts were a

funds. He said he found it heart
breaking" to cut the orchestra from
80 to 10 pieces for the summer
Then he said. with a smile, that
what the orchestra really needed
was $1,000, 900.
He climaxed his brief anniversary
talk by giving the audience its fifth

There are two ways to night
Henry Armstrong. Get out of the
ring, or If you stay in there, keep
away from him."
That's the comment OF Nick
Latsios on the fight he made against
the murderous little man from Los
Angeles last night at Griffith
Stadium, a battle that ended with
Armstrong getting unanimous
nod from Judges j. A. Trigg, Col
Claude Gamble and Referee Charley
Reynolds.
II wanted to slug it out with him"

he hurt me with overland rights,
I'd have given my right arm to go
in there and punch, but fought
the way was told, the only way a
youngster like me can last 10 rounds
with that guy"
Latsios ebediently followed for 10
rounds the battle plan his wise
handler, Mailman Massey, had map
ped out for him. He back -pedaled
most of the way, with an exasperated
Armstrong trying to, catch up with
him, and only once did Hammerin
Hank manage to tag him.
Nick's Bike Breaks Down.
1t was in the 10th round, when the
youngsters bicycle broke down and
Henry slapped him with hard right
that spun Nick into the ropes. But
for the rest of the exhibition, Arm
strong was shadow boxing with
ghost that was never in the right
place at the right time for Hanks
purposes The Hammer was talk
ing to himself most of the way, CIV
ing comic limitations of Latsios'
style, and generally acting like a
man on the verge of a nervous
breakdown.

event but In an unscheduled scrap

Cockf1eld. Petro was suspended in
definitely by the Boxing Commission
for his part in the affair, and the
crowd of 8,784 fans enthusiastically
indorsed the ringside decision of the

Petro won an unpopular decision
from the Brooklyn Negro in sorry

measure he spit in Cockfield's face,
also, and Johnny went for him.
Four husky policemen held the
raging Cockfleld as he tried to get
at his tormentor, and as things
quieted down, the Boxing Commits

To see her WELD a club, you q

was 10, winning the North Dakota
State title at Is and the Western

Swing Is Coming Back.
my swing is just coming back te

how it is, you develop some quirk
and 1t takes year or SO to shake
it off. I really feel my game is as
good now as it was in the winter OF
1912, when I won four of eight
tournaments I entered down in
Florida and Cuba"
With her swing back in the groove
the Rollins FlaJ College student
went out today against one of the
tournaments prime favorites, 20
year-old Dorothy Germaine of Phil

queen and runner-up for medalist

Miss Germaine won the last two
holes of her second-round match
yesterday against Mrs. jeanne Barr
Tracy Of Dallas, Tex, for a Cup
victory after shooting her poorest
golf of the tournament. She re-
quired SO strokes, eight over par.
Observers believed she would have
to do better than that today to edge
