DIN, a Golden Gloves cham
pion in 1928, turned professional
in 1880 and won the light
heavyweight title from Slapsie
Make Rosenbloom at Madison
Square Garden November 16,
1884. It started as a wild-swing-
ing battle but settled down into
a fencing duel with DIN taking
the decision.
Bob fought several non-title
fights against heavyweights, and
lost his light-heavy title to John
Henry Lewis at st. Louis Octo-
Der 81, 1895. In return bout for
the title he was knocked out in
eight rounds by Lewis at st.
Louis June 3, 1887.
DIN was regarded as a good
fighter, but not one of the all
time greats. AS he liked to put
it. all he had was "a high school
diploma and a good left"
He continued fighting through
1889, and finished with an over
all record of So wins, % losses
and five draws.
Olin was born July 4, 1908, on
New York's Lower East Side, at

time and worked as a customers
man in Wall Street in addition

ing the ring he appeared in a

Area horse players found
themselves with no place to go
today after the close of the 1856
Maryland season at Pimlico Sat-
urday. but opinion in official turf
circles indicated strongly there
would be an extremely short
winter vacation for racing fans.
Bowie, Laurel and Pimlico off,
cialS confidently expect the
Maryland Racing Commission to
approve tomorrow their proposed
1857 schedule which calls for the
season to start on February IL
at Bowie, nearly a month earlier
than any previous opening ever
attempted in the State.
An official hearing on 1857
Maryland racing dates has been
set for 1890 am. tomorrow by
the Racing Commission in its
Baltimore offices.
Hope to Avoid Competition
although there were some
scattered protests about starting
racing in mid-winter, the COM
mission evidently has been con-
WINGED by the arguments of the
tracks that the risk of weather
pQstponements would be offset
by the benefits of 70 days of nom
competition with New Jersey.
Last week at a preliminary
meeting. d. Eldred Rinehart,
chairman of the commission, told
the tracks to get together and
arrange their schedule between
March l and December 7. Later
talks among the track officials
ppduced the "Lillis plans" orig
inelly proposed by Donald Lillis,
president of Bowie.
aillis repeatedly offered Laurel
THE option of opening the season
with a 20 or 25-day meeting or

SANFORD, Fla, Dec. II (P.-
Mike Fetchick climaxed his first
big money year in professional
golf with victory in the $4,000
Sanford Open yesterday by a
record score of 263.
Not only will the $2,40O first

way he played the 70 holes gave
promise of more such paydays
ahead.

Dow Finsterwald with a So, then
withstood challenges by Finster-

a 81 in the third round and again
had to fight off Stranahan on
the closing day.
Fetchick shot a safe SO in the
final round over the 6,205-yard
Mayfair course. Even when
Stranahan crept within one
stroke going to the next to last
hole, Fetchick kept his iron nerve
and pared the final two holes.
Stranahan, 33-year-old mil
lionaire sparkplug heir, from To-
ledo, Ohio. also shot So in the
last round and finished two
strokes behind Fetchick at 265
and collected $1,000. FinSter-
valid, the years second biggest
money winner, came in third
with 268, good for $1,4OO. His
final 18-hole round was even

The Shows the Thing
BY HAL HUMPHREY

will bring the political conventions into the
homes Of millions of Americans this month, 1t
won't have any effect on the November election
results.
This at least is the contention of Eugene
Burdick professor of political theory at the
University of California at Berkeley Burdick,
who also is the author of the current best-seller.
THE Ninth Wave" has been retained by NBC
to appear as political expert on the networks
Today show during the Republican Convention
"The millions of viewers who tune in to the
telecastS of the conventions are not looking for
information. They are looking only for the
drama and excitement" says Burdick. 81 doubt
if single vote will be changed because of the
TV performances by either the Republicans or
Democrats at their conventions"
Quite Blow
If Professor Burdick is right, then 1t will be
quite blow to the respective chairmen of the
two political parties Both have gone to great
deal of trouble to gear their TV convention
shows to influence the viewers this time. AS far
as Prof Burdick is concerned, it's wasted effort.
Most of the voters already have made up
their minds. Those who haven't will be more
influenced by what they read in the newspapers
and hear on radio, than what they see on TV"
Burdick states.
He believes that the fascination of looking
at the TV screen is so diverting that few of us
audio-and. this is especially true when it's
politics.
Little Suspense
From an entertainment standpoint Burdick
said the Democrats probably would have the
better convention.
THE Republican show, on the other hand,
may be hurt by the fact that it will have little
suspense. A very orderly convention, such as the
Republicans have planned now, can be very dull
for the TV viewers"
Prof Burdick disagrees with many ex-
perts who hold that televising the conventions
has eliminated the so-called smoke filled room"
1.-THE more TV succeeds with its techniqueS
of authenticity, the worse it is" says Burdick.
THE viewers are given the impression that they
are in on everything happening, but this Is not
true. The maneuvering and the Smoke-filled
rooms have simply been moved underground.
so to speak, where the TV camera can't see them.
So you might say that TV is lulling the people
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-08-19

TV DOESN'T TELL ALL-f you have
been thinking that televiSion coverage
brings things out in the open and does
away with the smoke filled room at
political conventions, you've been har-
boring delusion. So says Eugene
Burdick, professor of political theory
at the University of California, and
evidence supports him. Such evidence,
for instance as this view of the roS-
trum during the 1852 Republican con-
vention. Charles Hacker. sergeant at
arms, is banging down the gavel to
announce a change of meeting place
SO the G. o. P. National Committee
can get away from the television
cameras
Professor Burdick doesn't care to extend his
exporting" to the point of predicting who will
win in November, but he does say it can be very
close.
There was only 5 per cent difference II
vote between the two candidates last time, anc
some II per cent of the So-called regular Demo
Gratis switched their voting aff1liation then." ne
emphasizes.
After the elections in November Prof. Bur-
dick will have another book on the stands
titled "The American Voter" In it he will sci
out to prove that most of us vote for particular
party or candidate through habit ard family
and that this is one area in which
the impact of TV has had no effect.

cellent fungicide, but it was i'm
possible to use it without actually
curtailing such functioning. Dust
or spray should be applied in
such way that it covers the
foliage thoroughly without being
especially noticeable.
Choice Up to the Gardener
The choice between dust and
spray will depend upon the
gardener. Dusts are easier to
apply. the equipment is less ex-
pensive. and they are easily
washed off Of the foliage by
showers. Sprays take longer to
prepare and apply, they last
longer. and the equipment is
more expensive. On the other
hand. a dust will penetrate thick
foliage and give a good cover
with less effort than a spray.
Dusts can only be applied when
the air is still. while sprays can
usually be applied in a light
breeze (spray against the Wind
A sticker-spreader should be
added to the spray for best re-
suits. Some of the detergents
act as spreader, but most gar
deners will buy combined

There is another pest that
troubles our roses, the can borer

paint the cuts with a tree dress

sons when heavy cutting is being
done.
Thrips may not always be con-
trolled by the regular spraying

The buds swell to huge size with

is due to the work of the rose

the bud as the sepals begin to

The thrips suck the sap out of

Malathion will control the thrips
