Minis and Cooper Get
Chance for Big Time
In Fights tuesday
By Bill Fuchs

That figurative knock at the
door will sound Tuesday night
at Griffith Stadium for Holly
Minis and Jimmy Cooper.
1t will be opportunity showing
up after all these years, and both
these Washington fighters think
it's about time.
Cooper'S chance will come in
the form of Gene Smith, once a
very highly regarded feather
weight whom Cooper clobbered
to the canvas with a left hook six
weeks ago. Minis takes on Tex
Newly, veteran Baltimore mid
dleweight and one of the few
active fighters owning a victory
over Minis.
Promoter Vince Mcmahon and
Billy Edwards, trainer for the
two fighters and Cooper's man
ager as well, both have promised
these two veterans better bouts
with bigger purses. Up to this
time, Minis and Cooper have
been sitting back while others
have been getting the gravy,
favored with the extra dividends
Of television.
Cooper Claims a Turn.
Smith, for example, has been
a member Of that lucky circle
long enough, according to
Cooper. Nov it's my turn" he
says.
Cooper hasn't had very many
big purses, despite the fact he
beat the bantamweight cham
pion of the world two years ago
and currently owns the feather
weight championship of Cuba,
one of the worlds leading pro-
ducers of good featherweights.
Minis has beaten the likes Of
Johnny Bratton twice and lost
q disputed split decision to Ray
Robinson two years ago. Those
who know say Minis has been
one of the most moderated mid
dleweights around.
He's the next champion of
the world" Edwards says, IF he
gets the chance. I hope to see
that he does. Chris Dundee had
a bout lined up for him in Miami
July % and the guy ran out"
Minis is all business when it
comes to fighting, Edwards says.
You know how ne goes to a
fight? Like you 60 to the Office.
Real unemotional!" Edwards
admittedly knows little about the
newspaper busineSsD
An air of almost detached
objectivity concerning Tuesday
nights assignments has pervaded
Edwards gym in the Northeast
Market where both boxers are
training.
Both Sure of Victory.
"Newby?" Minis says. IT
shouldn't have any trouble with
him"
"Smith?" Cooper says. I'll
beat him. I'm sure of that"
It's Cooper's contention that
Smith has had an easy way up.
Who has he had to beat?" he
asks. II had all those tough
fights. For a while there I
wasn't getting anywhere and I
was disguised. Sometimes
didn't even care whether I won
OF lost. Now I'm just getting
myself into position to make
some money. Smith has had his |
chance. He doesn't worry me a
bit"

c. L. Egenroad of Arlington, who
eliminated the tournament med
alist. Mary Pat Jansen, in
Wednesdays quarter finals, teed
off this morning in the 36-hole

had a little more diff1culty in set
ting down Mrs. James A. Swink
of Arlington, 3 and 2.
Tough Match Promised.
But no matter how they got
there, today's day-long match
promised to be a good one. Miss
Elliott. a slim, long-ball hitter.
faced a logged competitor who
plays best under pressure.
In yesterdays play. Mrs. Egen-
road eliminated Mrs. SWink by
pairing and winning the 18th
and 10th holes after seeing her
three-hole edge cut to one a few
minutes earlier. Mrs. Swink took
the first hole with a par 4. but
never led again after Mrs. Egen-
road evened the count with a
birdie on the 457-yard fifth
and went out front with a par S
on the seventh, to Mrs. Swink's 6.
Mrs. Egenroad collected seven
pars along the way to Mrs.
SWink'S six. But the outcome
seemed rarely IN doubt. Both
women usually matched each
other drive for drive, but Mrs.
Egenroad had the edge on the
greens.
Champion Never Extended.
The Arlington player had
been a marked woman since she
tripped up Mrs. Jansen, 4 and 2.
A three-handicap performer,
Mrs. Egenroad is the wife Of the
administrative assistant to Sem
ator Homer Capehart.
In the Elliott-Allen match, the
defending champion was never
extended.

Jamie KS Trainer
Will Keep on Trying
Against The Dancer
Continued From Page A-160

\SOAG1AucO 11OIU rage A-1o1
was still painting when a voice
said: 1--WE sure had quite a race,
didn't we?" The little old man
looked wildly around, got up and
said: eyes, sir and ives
gonna have another one right
now"
In the subsequent laughter.
Partridge said: That's the way
we feel about Jamie K, running
against Bills horse there. i
Well always give him another
race. Mines a At horse and
hasn't been loafing."
Winfrey Is as high on Native
Dancer as it is decent for q
trainer to be. The gray horse
has been as untouchable as a
ghost in IS of his Is starts and
Bill still says: 1--WE ran the best
horse that day, too." referring
to the Vanderbilt colts defeat
by Dark Star in the Kentucky
Derby.
Was It possible that Native
Dancer didn't like the Churchill
Downs track, which is more
loosely put together than the
horse had been accustomed to?
mo" Winfrey said, "he
doesn't have to take his track
with him. He just didn't get up
in time-and that's part of rae
ing luck"
How will Native Dancer run
tomorrow? Might he go winging
because the Classic has been cut
to a mile in the last two years?
Winfrey doesn't think so. II
don't like to send him on top"
he said, because he's inclined
to loaf a bit on the front end.
You can't plan a race anyway,
you have to wait and see what
happens. You run the way the
race is rum"
Ouerln y dig heIp.
The fact that Eric Guerin has
ridden Native Dancer in all his
starts is a big help to both the
horse and Winfrey.
Cant help but be-" Bill said,
nibbling on a straw. you don't
have to make any plans for
Guerin. He can do his own
thinking"
In his previous 1853 starts, Ma
tive Dancer has won at a mile
and a quarter, a mile and half
and a mile nd three-sixteenths.
What did Winfrey think of him
at a mile?
"A good horse can get up at
a mile" he said, IF he's ready
to run.
Arlington can run the Classic
at mile because it's got a mile
chute which gives you about FIVE
eighths of a mile straight run
without interference. Undoubted-
ly the management, which Is
putting UP the money, feels that
it will get a bigger and better
field. We might as well try to
beat 'em ALL"
Two years ago Native Dancer
was just another yearling in the
Alfred G.. Vanderbilt string. Win
frey even sold another foal by
out of Geisha-I
they're the Dancers parents
for $4,000. when you have a
lot of horses" Bill said, "you
can't look at one and say: he's
it. This horse had to prove him
self"
It would seem that the aptly-
named colt has pyramided such
proof to a degree where he now
lives in a fly-proof. heat-proof
stall in readiness for the richest
3-year-old race of them all.
1t will take more than one
undoing, if it comes
to that, to make Winfrey believe
he's been looking at a miracle!

|FIood-ConfroI Aid for
Potomac Watershed
By the Associated Press

Representative Harrison, Dem
ocrat, of Virginia wants Mary
land congressman to cooperate
in a drive for more money for
soil conservation in the Potomac
River watershed.
Mr.. Harrison said in an inter-
view that he plans to discuss the
matter with the Marylanders
when Congress meets next
month.
He contends the Potomac
basin. particularly in Virginia,
has been disseminated" against
over a period of years in alloca-
tions for local flood control work.
His campaign, he emphasized,
is not for larger overall appro-
priations. but seeks merely
justice for the Potomac tribu-
taries within the limits of ap-
propriated funds"
In a recent letter to Soil Con-
Servation Service officials, Mr.
Harrison charged it is "perpetu-
ating a discrimination against
the Potomac watershed in Vir-
ginia" by basing its budget allo-
cations for upstream flood con-
troll work on an obsolete survey
He called on the service to
take prompt steps within the
limits of available funds to cor
rect what he described as errors
in estimates of Potomac water
shed needs.
