Cestac Gives Promise
Though Licked; Russo
Decisioned by BarfoIo
By the Associated Press.

:
NEW YORK, July 28.-Althougf
Abel Cestac's United States debut
was far from a success, the Argen.
tine heavyweight boxer gave evi-
dence last night that, with proper
training, he may yet develop into
another Luis Angel Firpo.
Sponsored by Firpo, who sent him
here to be managed by former
champion Jack Dempsey, Cestac
proved to be an awkward, lum-
bersome fighter in losing a decision
to John Thomas of Fort Lauder
dale, Fla, in co-feature, 10-round
bout at Madison Square Garden
But like Firpo, Cestac showed a
terrific right-hand wallop which
sent Thomas spinning whenever il
connected.
Old-timers at the ringside re-
membered that Firpo, who knocked
Dempsey through the ropes anc
almost won the heavyweight cham
pionship Of the world, didn't look
much better in his first United
States bout about % years ago.
The Argentinian giant-he weighs
22134 pounds and stands feet 4
inches-showed he can take a punch
well and displayed willingness to
mix it, but was woefully weak on
defense. He could not escape
Thomas left hand which the Negro
stuck in his face repeatedly, The
$685. pound advantage enjoyed by
Cestac might have been handicap
as he never could catch up to his
lighter foe.
However, when Cestac did land
which was very infrequent, Thomas
either went down or did an imita-
ton of a wobbling tightrope walker,
In all, Thomas hit the deck three
times, but on each occasion man

it's disapproval throughout the dull,

Bartolo. The Boston veteran, NBA
featherweight champion, rallied in
the closing rounds to earn unani-

Nelson Nears Record
In Maintaining Tam
Golf Tourney Lead
BY the Associated Press,

1 BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-Byron Nell
son, efficiency plus with his irons,
appeared headed today for his
| fourth all-American open golf cham-
pionship and new tournament
record.
Swinging into the third round Of
the 72-hole test at Tam o. Shanter,
COLTS biggest money winner had
four-Stroke lead over .stocky Gene
Sarazen with a record 1874, 10 under
par, for the hallway mark.
Nelson, who has won three of the
four Tam tournaments, needed only
to shoot TIL, one stroke under
par, for the final SO holes to crack
the 278 mark he established in win
ming the first All-American meet
in 1941.
Since the notwithstanding Texan
apparently is allergic to par and
shuns it completely there seemed
small doubt that he would fail to
continue his pacesetting today and
tomorrow.
Three Tie for Third.
Nelson swept through the second
round yesterday with a four under
par 60 to add to his opening 66 and
protect his lead from the veteran
SaraZen whose second round 68 fea-
tured an ace on the 215-yard 18th
hole.
Ralph Guldahl, another veteran
campaigner, also shot into a chal-
longing position with a course rec
ord tying IS. Opening with a %,
best first nine performance ever
made in professional competition,
the stoop shouldered Chicagoan
missed an 18-foot putt on the home
hole trying for a 64.
Guldahl's 65 gave him 139 for
the first So holes and a tie with
1t. Ben Hogan, Sam Snead and
Sergt. E. J. Dutch Harrison.
Hogan, a stroke behind Nelson
with flrst-round 81, dropped back
to a par 70 yesterday.
Six players, including Flight ON.
Ger Frank Stranahan of Toledo,
Ohio, shared the seventh position
at 140. Stranahan'S total was good
for first place tie with Art Doer-
ing of Denver in the all-American
amateur affair. Doering, who did
not enter the open competition,
fired a second-round Ct while
Stranahan had a II.
Germain Holds Lead.
Dorothy German of Philadelphia
maintained her lead in the first ALI
American women's open with a 153,
adding n to her first-round rs.
1t. Patty Berg of Minneapolis and
Dorothy Kielty of Los Angeles held
the second spot with 1885.
Tam O. Shanter's par 72 took q
severe lacing from the men as 80
players compiled better than per-
feet figures for the 6,706-yard lay
out. The going promised to be a
bit rougher in the final two rounds
with the field driving off the back
tees.

Another Tennis Crown
For Gerry Thomas

Gerry Thomas, up-and-coming
boy tennister of the District, has
added another title to his collec.
ton, further substantiating earlier
claims that he has the makings of q
future District champion.
His most recent victory was scored
in the Middle Atlantic boys cham
pionships, where he conquered John
Colon, Baltimore City boys
champ, 6-3, 6-4, at the Suburban
Country Club in Baltimore. The
first of this month Gerry annexed
two titles in three days when he
won The Stars City of Washing

Spears Quits Football
Leaving Maryland u.
Without a Coach
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.

University of Maryland officials
today found themselves with a nine
game football schedule, small
squad of unknown, untested play
ers, and no football coach as DR..
Clarence w. Doc) Spears handed
in his resignation.
1t was a startling development
and DR.. H. C. Byrd, university presi-
dent, admitted he was at loss to
decide what to do. Spears contract
had another year to run, and al
though, there was a criss-cross
current of rumors concerning his
future at the College Park school
he was expected to tutor the Terps
again this autumn.
Spears said he definitely was
through with football. college or
professional, and would devote his
whole attention to the practice of
medicine. He said he probably
would go out West, although he
hadn't decided which of two attrac-
tive propositions offered him he
would accept.
I've been wanting to get out of
coaching for several years but just
couldn't make up my mind to give
up the game" he said.
Spears, whose resignation is effec-
tive october /, had a squad of some
Is students playing football at Mary
land this summer but it was formal
practice, he said today. The group
was made up of boys who elected
football in a physical education
program requiring them to partici-
pate in some sport. Out of the entire
group he saw only one back who
seemed to be potential varsity ma
terial, he said.
Spears earned national coaching
reputation at Dartmouth and Min
nesota and also coached at Wiscon-
sin and Toledo. At Maryland he
also was in charge of the health
program and infirmary, and there
is a possibility that he may continue
in that capacity but there was
nothing definite on this today.
DR.. Byrd said he agreed with
Spears that the opportunity to make
a change appeared too advantageous
to pass up for coaching berth even
though ut leaves us in hole" The
university preXy said he had not
the slightest idea" where he would
seek a successor as football coach
or for various positions Spears
filled. He said he had talked to a
half dozen" applicants for a coach
iqg job during the last several
months, but couldn't think of any
who would be available at this time.

Not often, in the tightly handi-
capped Women's District Golf As
sociation Journeys, does a competi-
tor win cup two years in row
The gals usually slash the handicap
of the winners after they grab 8
top prize. But Mrs. M. M. Alexander
of Washington Golf and Country
Club won the Columbia Broadcast
ing System trophy yesterday for the
second straight year, even though
the handicap which helped her to
win in 1914 had been slashed by
nine strokes. And today she has
been cut two more strokes, which
places her in class A, and out of
class B competition.
Mrs. Alexander had a handicap
of 20 when she won the G. B. S.
trophy last year. This year they
cut her handicap to 20, but she
went out over the soggy Manor
Country Club course yesterday and
won just the same, with a card of
