HOTTEL. freshman at the Uuiversity Matthews, who came to Maryland last Fall from the eastern shore of Maryland unheralded and unsung, bids fair to go high in the realm of sport. Gump, and he is called “nothing else but” at College Park, already has shown the earmarks of a remarkable Yesterday, for instance, he gave a sample of what he can do. athlete. Ina track meet between the varsity and freshman team all that Gump did was to win the 100 in 10 seconds, capture the 440 in 50 3-5, eased up, and to easily take the high jump, in which he was not forced to do near his best to win. In fact, 5 feet 4 inches was suffi- cient vesterday. However, Matthews done 5 feet 11 inches, going that to win in an indoor meet in last Fall. His time ¥ the quarter, too, was not his best, as he did 5@ 1-5 in running second to Joe Endslow when the lat ter set a mark for the South of 49 3 at Richmond last Saturday. Ties Record of Coach.

However, the Delta Mu's came back with a run at the outset of the final inning and it look- ed dark for the K. A.s. But Gump was still on the job, and after the Kappa Alphas, who needed five tallies to win, had put two over and had a pair on the sacks none other than Andy Gump stepped to the plate and swun his wicked willow.

He has to be up early, as he has a job in the dining hall that calls for his presence for about an hour for three periods each day In be- tween his work and his pastimes—and Gump loves athletics better than a dog likes a nice juicy bone—he finds plenty of time to be a good student. Matthews, who is not yet 19 vears of 8ge. is a well huilt chap, being about #ix feet tall and tipping the scales at more than 170 pounds. His athletic activities before he came ot Ma were limited to a little high jumping. Gump did not hog all the honots the meet yesterday, which the Var: won by 7023 points to 461-3. Endslow, who did not run in the 440, set a new Maryland record of 1:59 1-5 in the half mile, while Capt. Ed Pugh smashed both the records for Old Line athletes in the 120 and 220 hurdles. Pugh cleared the 120 high barriers in 16 1-5 seconds and the 220 low ones in . bettering the old marks by a second in each instance. Summaries of Meet. 100-YARD DASH—Matthews (F.), first: C.

Donovan that the staging of amateur boxing exhibi- tions at the Washington Barracks is not contrary to the District of Colum- bia law prohibiting “prize fighting,” preparations for, the South Atlantic champlonship bouts on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 2 and 3, are going forward swiftly. Upon recelving official sanction for the tournament late yesterday after a conference between Charles L. Orn- stein, boxing chairman for the South Atlantic distriet; Capt. John Cleland, athletic officer at the Washington Bar- racks; Norman Landreau, counsel for the South Atlantic boxing committee, and officials of the Department of Jus- tice, the boxing committee extended the period for closing of the entries until Monday night. Blanks may be obtained from Capt. Cleland at the barracks. The decision from the office of the Attorney General clears up the situa- tion created several days ago, when Maj. Peyton Gordon, United States district attorney, announced that the District code apparently made no dis- crimination between amateur and pro- fessional bouts. It was pointed out yesterday that the anti-prize fight law was never intended to apply to ama- teur bouts conducted bv the A. A.

Mike must abandon the defensive that have characterized his ision bouts, and exchange blows with his challenger, “the knockout King.” in the opinion of critics, ore he his crown on a decision. is a strong belief that Berlen- bach will render a decision unneces- ary, but McTigue's friends say he can punch hard when his ire is aroused Frankie Genaro, American flyweight champion, and Harold Smith, Chica- go bantam, will mill in the feature bout at the opening of the new Dexter Park Stadium in Brooklyn tonight.

Sherrill's motion for a complete Sun- day elimination of Olympic games he asked that there be no events on Sun- day until after church time. The congress approved this proposal and the Holland delegation officially an- nounced that during the 1928 Olympic games at Amsterdam the Sunday pro- grams will not commence until 1 p.m. The congress also decided that Win- ter sports would continue to be sepa- rate from track, field and other events. A resolution was adopted that countries unable to organize Winter sports could, with the international commtitee’s approval, designate an- other country to hoid such games. This would be the case with Holland, and Chamonix will be a candidate for the cold weather games. Los Angeles, likewise, must give these sports to another city or country. It was further decided that Winter sports would be held in the same year as the other games and be designated as first, second, third, etc., the term “Olymplad” not being em- ployed. The congress will choose a locality giving reference to the coun- try organizing the other games. Switzerland officially announced its candidature for the 1928 games, France and Italy supporting the pro- posal. The congress then fixed the next session to be held in Lisbon in 1926 and appointed a permanent art jury consisting of President Clary and Vice President Rosen and Gen. Sherrill to serve four vears.

MUNN IS A FIGHTER IN TRAINING ON MAT By the Associated Press. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., May 28.— Wayne “Big” Munn, who quit boxing for wrestling after his first glove match, demonstrated in his training for the, “Strangler” Lewis contest Saturday that it was not because he hasn't the fighting spirit. One of Munn's training partners, “Toots” Mondt, started the closing workotit yesterday with tactics Munn regarded as altogether too rough, even for wrestling. Butting, cuffing_and similar tactics quickly irritated Munn, who tore into Mondt with both fists. A right uppercut to the chin, fol- lowed by s#ings to the head and body, toppled Mondt over. Sheriff J. J. Hahn of Laporte Coun- ty, a spectator, and others dashed into the ring and separated the wres- tlers, after which training activities were called off for the day. Mondt was dismissed from the camp. 1925. 'SPORTS: Maryland U.
