SS~ASS~~@As
Congressional and new chairman
of the District Boxing Commis-
sion. received a pamphlet on box
ing the other day from a South
American country. 1t was in
Spanish. which is not exactly
Jocko's native tongue.
r. B. Sanz, of the SAM School
of Languages, is Congressional
member and on Sanz's next visit
Jocko asked him to have the
pamphlet translated.
The next week end SAM re-
turned the pamphlet, and with
it a book on translating Spanish

been here before"
Don't ask me-" his caddie

is under way and already there's

ton.
Vern johnson, Gene Pittman
and Col. Rennie Kelly Of the
Congressional Country Club
team are listed to play In the
Burning Tree member guest
tournament this week end. That
means they will be unavailable
for the semiflnal team match
Sunday against Woodmont.
If all three are playing
through Sunday, Congressional |
will have to have subs for three |
Of its top amateurs. There's also
the possibility Congressional will |
lose two more regulars due to |
business reasons. and that vir-
tually would assure a final-round |
berth for Woodmont, already the
Cinderella team of the series.
