Kenwoods Mrs. Howard Proud
Of Two Golf Achievements

Mrs. Rex Howard of Kenwood is
Justly proud of two of her golfng
achievements of the season.
First, in the order of their i'm
portance to Mrs. Howard, the Ken
wood linkSwoman has shown great
improvement in her game, as at
tested by fine round of 81 in a
member-guest day of the Congress
sional Country Club Women's Golf
Committee yesterday.
Mrs. Howard won net honors with
an 8l-8-73, from mines of AZ and
80. Last week Mrs. Howard won an
lntraclub event at her home club
with a low-80 round and now her
handicap is due for trimming
Mrs. Walter Stokes, the Mid-Atlantic
champion, won gross honors with
pair of 40s for an 80 at Congress
sional, an excellent round over the
long course.
OF more Importance to District
golf fans is Mrs. Howards second
achievement, that of persuading
South Africas Bobby Locke to COM
pete in the $4,000 National Capital
Open at Prince Georges in June.
Mrs. Howard met Locke at Pine
hurst two weeks ago and found
they had many mutual acquaint-
ances in South Africa. Locke said
at the time he did not plan to COM
pete here, but before the Howards
left Pinehurst the seven time South
African champion said he would be

could have been one of the best,

powerful sock, "but fighting
wasn't in his makeup. He was
too much of a gentleman, even
when they belted him on the
nose" he concluded sadly.
Blick would have been the Tex
Rickard of Washington if the
building laws hadn't stopped him.
He had big dreams for the
Arcadia, but he couldn't build as
high as necessary and boxing
wasn't legal. George Marshalls
Palace pro basket ball team
played at the Arcadia a spell,
but Blick was smart enough to
see the town wasn't quite ripe
for big-time sports. He plunged
into bowling.
Fighting was second nature

on the mitts with Kid Sullivan

Atlontons to Put WorH Hero in Bowling Business
John Bck Breaks News p Touches
By Lewis r. Atehison

when I left this town had
. wife and two children and
s135 in borrowed money" the
short, plump man under the
gray hat was saying. II lost
everything in the depression
but the smile On my face and
my confidence and it almost
broke my heart to go. But
I had to make fresh start
and Atlanta seemed to be the
logical spot"
That was Is years ago come
June. and the smile, plus a lot
of elbow grease, sincerity and
know-how have put John S.
Blick back on top. He told US
about it riding out to Army
Medical Center where he was
delegated to inform Capt. George
w. Poschner that the citizens of
Atlanta had put up $4,000 to
start Poschner in the bowling
alley business. Somebody could
write a book about Blick's ex-
periences. AS a matter of fact
he's toying with the idea, work
ing leisurely at the task on his
country estate.
He was telling us about Posch-
ner, an all-America end and
teammate of Frankie Sinkwich at
Georgia before his graduation.
This boy holds the Disting-
uished Service Cross" he re-
lated. HE took machine gun
and went after a nest of Nazis
in the Battle of the Bulge. Posch-
ner got about 20 before he got it
a machine gun bullet over the
right eye. 1t came out the back
Of his head and he lay there God
knows how long, couple of days,
before they rescued him. Five
medical corpsmen were killed try
ing to reach him and when they
finally did his arms and legs
were frozen and they had to am
putate. That boy did lot for
us and now the people of Allan
ia are going to do something
for him. He'll have one of the
finest bowling lleys in the
South"
Conversational topics with
Blick have an infinite range,
but sooner or later he gets around
to the Marty Gallagher Henry
Lamar bout at Silver Spring
in 1880 before boxing was
legalized in the District. Ring
side seats cost $40, a fantastic
price in those days. At S pm.
the day Of the bout not one had
been sold and Johns publicity
director, Jackie Martin, begged
him to slash them to SO copy,
but he was adamant. 1t was
$40 fight, he argued, and he
wouldn't sell it for a dime less
if he lost his shirt. At 6 pm.
Blick and Gallagher needed a
police escort to get them through
the milling mob trying to squeeze
into the place and 1t was huge
financial success.
Gallagher got a draw. but

Carnera pick up a couple of thou
sand dollars for one rassling match
that Tony decided that he, too,
wanted piece of that grapple
money. Particularly he wants to
meet Camera after few warmup
matches.
This rassling is nothing new for
me-" he went on. Did you know I
was a rassler before I was a fighter?
Yessir, I was on the amateur AAU
team back at the Orange YMCA
in 1926. The pros are rougher, but
not tougher than those amateurs.
Those amateurs get a hold on you
and don't let up. for an hour. But
nobody will pay to see it. It's too
dull. I go where the money is"
Galento also says that rassling is
tougher than boxing. TN the fight
game you can rest by going down
if you want to. But what happens
in rassling. You go down and they
jump on you. It's tougher racket,
but Gilzenburg lured me on with
the money"
