When Norvel Lee was boxing
he won the Inter-City Golden
Gloves and the National AAU
heavyweight titles, then capped
his career in 1852 by winning
the Olympic Interchangeable
championship at Helsinki, Fin
land.
Last night in the first round
of the Golden Gloves tourna-
ment at Capitol Arena, his
younger brother George failed
his first ring test.
George, a 24-year-old main
tenance man at American Uni
versity representing the Ed
wards AC, met defeat at the
hands of a 21-year-old porter
for a printing firm. Walter
Fletcher of the Police Boys
Club No, 2, in the 165-pound
subnovice class. .'''' 9
Norvel, now a District box
ing commissioner, viewed the
bout and agreed that Fletcher
was too much for brother
George.
George Hits Deck
Fletcher treated George rath-
er rudely, flooring him for a
count of nine in the second
round in winning the unani-
nous verdict of the two judges,
Jimmy De Chard and Ross
Eastman, and Referee Mike
Tardugno.
The Fletcher-Lee bout was
one of IL of the original 16
scheduled on the opening pro-
gram, sponsored by the District
AAU. Three of the bouts were
forfeited and one was post
noned until next Friday night
when the second round of the
tournament is scheduled at

The quickest knockout of the
night was registered in the

Ronald Miller of the Police Club
stopped Maurice Eugene in A
seconds of the first round.
Eugene, of the Edwards AC,

After shaking off four snow
storms in a week, Bowie Of
ficials hopefully anticipated the
largest turnout of the 1862
meeting today for the 25th run
ing of the $11,500 Southern
Maryland Handicap.
Sunny skies were expected to
help attract a crowd of $4,000
for the second weekend pro-
gram of the new Maryland turf
season at snow-weary Bowie.
However, the track ran into
another unexpected hurdle this
morning when both race trains
out of Philadelphia were can
celed because of a freight train
wreck on the Pennsylvania line
about Is miles north of Balti-
more. Bowie officials made
arrangements for buses to re-
place the trains. Train service
out of Baltimore was not
affected.
Although about an inch of
wet snow fell at Bowie yester-
day, it did little more than
whiten the countryside. The
racing strip, roads and park
ing lots were clear again today
The latest snow, which be-
gan two hours before post time
held the gate to 6,261 and bet
ting to $568,250. Both figures
were the lowest of the seven
day-old meeting and the poor
est since February IS, 1860
when 1924 bet $473,7l6.

Probably the highest race is
in the Southwest, where Texas
