A wallop that can bring Mats

Os Bluege's charges out OF the

themselves and it had better be
discovered during this brief home
stay.

but rarely does it have decisive

The fifth annual gymkhana Of

citation. held at Equitation Field,
Rock Creek Park, yesterday, at
tracted q large gallery Of horse
show fans, who saw some good
riding, If 1t was on the ludicrous
side.
Guy Cunkelman, at the reins of
the Potomac Riding Schools Great
Chance. proved to be the most dex-
trous in the grotesque classes. He
showed marked ability at carrying
water in glass over five jumps to
win the "Am I all wet" class,
amazed the crowd by showing how
the kings horses would have done
it In the Humpty Dumpty class and
called it day by outlasting a de-
termined field in the follow-the-
leader class.
Some old-timers came to the
front in the old guard class, open
only to riders over 40 years Of age.
Roland Dawson proved to be the
best of the ancients, taking the blue
on Frances Crouse's Hollejo. Sum-

Sid Lanier, Scholastic
Golf Ruler, Whips
Diabetes 10 Win
By Rob MCLEAN.

Sid Lanier Of Bethesda High, who
today wears the 1914 District school,
boy golf crown, has a. much more
impressive victory to his credit than
his triumph over Alan Weisberg
yesterday in the finals Of the elev-
enth annual schoolboy champion
ship matches at Manor Country
Club.
The 18-year-old Bethesda senior
carries on q daily battle with dia-
betes, and with the aid Of a medical
club known as insulin, the young
ster stands one-up on the ailment.
A lanky 6-foot-1, tanned and vigor-
Gus from spending most Of his spare
time at his fayorite game, the lad
has tried numerous times to enlist
in the armed forces but the doctors
consider his disability too serious
for service.
Sid gives golf . lot of credit for
maintaining his apparently good
physical condition. II only weigh
140 pounds now" he says, but /
used to be lot thinner. This game
has developed my shoulders and
built me up so that I feel like mill
lion bucks. Any time I feel punk
/ come out here in the sunshine and
fresh air and pretty soon I don't
have trouble In the world"
Proves His Stamina.
Lanier's stamina is a tribute both
to the medical profession and the
game he's been playing since he was
10 years old. Saturday, in the pre-
liminary rounds at Manor, the boy
played SO holes, carding a rs for
the first Is and sizzling "a for the
second. He had licked his oppon-
ents in those matches, AL Hooper Of
Wilson and Lew Swartwout Of West
ern, in both cases by the time the
middle of the back nine was reached,
but Sid played out the entire SO.
II wanted to see how close I could
shoot to par" the youngster said
He came out five over on the first
round, four over on the second.
After graduating at Bethesda this
year Lanier may 60 to Georgetown,
where he wants to study aeronauti-
cal engineering. He would like to
have gone to M. I. T., but It's too
far away from the family doctor
His home course Is Kenwood, where
he carries a six-stroke handicap
and has received the expert coach
ing of Bill Brownigg, a member Of
the famous Roosevelt High goli
team of 1882 that burned up local
courses as has no schoolboy links
outfit done since.
Final Is Exciting Contest.
Lanier gained the semifinals yes
terday by defeating Eustace Flor
ance Of st. Adams, 4 and 3. Alan
Weisberg Of Coolidge In the mean
time had downed the tourney
favorite, Norman Manders Of Will
son, by the same score. The Lanier-
Weisberg tiltsfor the title had many
exciting moments. Tf6 lead changed
hands four times on the first nine
but from the 10th on L4nier stole
the show, stroking parS Oh the 10th
11th and 18th, making him 8 up
The contest was won on the 18th
green when Lanier sank q long putt
after taking five strokes to get on
It's the first time In the tourney,
history that Bethesda has taken Tho
title. Lanier triumphed over aAsbril.
