In every way the testimonial dinner sponsored oy more | than 150 representative citizens of the Capital is to be a festive affair. i S a token of the high regard they have for Johnson the fans are to present a parchment engrossed with a tribute written by Prank J.| Hogan, internationally famous lawyer, who will be toastmaster of the big base ball party. The text of the tribute follows: | “To Walter Johnson: | “A_quarter of a century has passed | into history since you came to us from | the 1and ‘where the ghosis of bufialoes still dream.’ Had you been an orainary man of your profession, you would have | heard our applause in your hours of triumph and have witnessed our merci- ‘thumbs down’ in defeat—and mfi:d into oblivion. But there was, and re is, nothing ordinary about you. “For more than 25 years you have lived in the glare of pitiless publicity. And lived stainlessly. “Loyalty, fidelity, straightforwardness, calm judgment, alertness and patience— | these have ever been your character- | stics. | “In victory, modest and generous | “In defcat, und=unted, undismayed. | “We nave seen you when the tri- umphani sbouts of mullitudes swelled into & roar end it secmed the very| sk'es with acclamtion ra And we| have been wita you in tfie hour of sorrow and shared your grief. “You have been an example and an inspiration to American boyl Greater praise can be sounded of no | man. “And so st the end of & quarter of a century— “The citizens of the Nation's Capital salute you.” PROGRAM of many numbers has been provided for the entertain- ment of the diners.

Josephus Turner's most ambi- tious show, and, with foot ball and racing out’ of the picture, regaining the bone-bending game's former high place in Washington’s sports curricu- Tum, A flock of names possibly unequaled during the promotorial reign of Prof. Turner will grace the card—Londos, king of the domain; Garibaldi, a lead- ing challenger; McMillan, another leading challenger; Dusek, still another of logical contender fraternity; Ever- ett Marshall, a sensation on the Coast, and Richtofl, recently of Sweden and 1932's Olympic heavyweight champ. Others on the card are Jim Heslyn, Milo Steinborn, PFrank Judson, Jack Zarnas, George Vassell and Joe Cox. ONDOS and Garibaldi are meeting for the second time here, the first affair ending with the latter on his head in the Griffith Stadium infleld and Londos staggering around safely inside of the ropes. Gino was counted out. Until Garibali launched his flying tackle, destined to reveal that even men blessed with very large ears can- not volplane to earth in comfort, the bout had been very even. The Greek and Italian resemble each other s much as any two grapplers in the game. Londos, supposedly because of the responsibility on his powerful shoulders, is not quite as reckless as| Gino, but is every bit as good a rassler. Of the two Gino probably is the stronger. The semi-final lists Rudy Dusek, showiest of all the boys, and Frank Judson. The prelims are*a promising lot, headed by a clash between Jim McMillan and Everett Marshall, which is plenty good enough for a main go. Others schedule Johan Richthoff and Milo Steinborn, George Vassell and Joe Cox, and one in which Jim Heslyn, Australian bad man, appears. His op- ponent appears to be somewhat in doubt, the first announcement stating he was George Zaharies and a second naming George Zaryncfl. However, Jim Ml‘Gm'h ists he is Jack Zarnas. the doubt shrouding the er. it is left out of our par- which follews: Londos to conquer G Dusek to lick Judson, Mc- \n llan and Marshall to draw, Richthoff to spill Steinborn and Cox and Vassell to_draw. ‘Women with escorts will be charged cnly 25 cents.
