A. world's feath- erweight crown, Freddie Miller meets Speedy Dado here in a 10-round bout tonight, his third defense of the title in 21 days. The Cincinnati southpaw was a de- cided favorite over the fast Filipino fighter. Dado. a bantamweight holding the California State title, probably will go into the ring at 119 pounds, four or five under the champion’s weight, staking his chances of winning on sheer speed and determination. Miller’s showing in his two previous Bout, Defends Title Three Times in 21 Days title bouts in California was impressive. He won by a wide mar over Baby Arizmendi, the Mexico City Aztec, and then defeated Little Dempsey in Sac- ramento without much effort. Although Dado posted a $4,000 guar- antee to Miller in order to get a chance at the title, his record in recent fights does not back up his confidence. Ariz- mendi beat him twice in three appear- ances. He was knocked out by Baby Casanova, young Mexico City fighter, |and Baby Palmore, a recent graduate from the preliminary ranks, but won from each In return engagements.

R. McCALLUM. OLF courses scattered of Ample Moisture. through three counties in nearby Maryland and Virginia, within a radius of a score of miles of the National Capital, are certain to be in better condition this year than in any year since the great drought of 1930 dried up fairway grass and played havoc with every unwa- tered layout in this territory. A mild Winter, with at least three heavy falls of snow, and ample rain during late Winter and early | Spring, insures that the golf | courses about Washington will be= in prime condition by early May, | when the round of invitation and | championship tournaments starts. All the greenkeepers in this section predict the layouts will be in better shape this year than in any of the last | three seasons. They declare the ample snowfalls, which cover the ground and | slowly seep down into the sub-sofl, have | done more to pave the way for a heavy | stand of grass in the Spring than any | other factor. | ICK WATSON of Chevy Chase and Indian Spring, Stewart Whaley of ‘Washington, O. P. Fitts of Colum- bia, R. P. Hines of Manor and Con- gressional, R. B. King of Beaver Dam |and H. Will of Woodmont, the men | responsible for the care of most of the | courses in this section, all agree that weather conditions have been particu- larly favorable to excellent conditioning of the links layouts around Wash- ington “Rains always help,” says Whaley, | one of the most optimistic of the green- | keepers, “but a heavy snow which melts | away slowly and seeps into the ground |over a period of a week or two, does | more than anything else to lay the foundation for a good stand of grass in the Spring. Heavy lot of wash and some damage. way quickly, but snow goes away slowly |and seeps in gradually. We have had plenty of snow this Winter and already ! we can see signs that the grass only awaits a few warm days to come back strong and fast.” | For two or three weeks more the grass | will come along slowly, but along about | April 10, if past seasons give & true indication, we will have several warm days and then the grass will start to grow fast. A good vear for golf in every way is in prospect. CHERRYDALERS TO MEET.

Tonight at Portner's Arena he | will oppose Bob Tow, who trimmed Marty last Summer at Twin-City. They are scheduled for 10 rounds. There is little to choose between the pair, fighting for the “District heavy- weight championship, which is a laugh. As far as local titular honors | are concerned, it means nothing any- Wi but if anybody’s wearing the beat Gallagher last Winter in another “District championship” bout. In Tow's favor is speed, boxing ability | and the confidence which comes from | having trounced a rival previously in decisive manner. To offset this Gal lagher offers superior strength, 16 more pounds and ruggedness. ECAUSE Marty (The Clutch) out- | mauled Les Kennedy and was spied doing some roadwork in prepara- tion for the Tow fight, he has been in- stalled a favorite over Bob, in spite of the latter’s previous win. However, for a veteran like Kennedy, it surprised local ring critics to see his methods against Gallagher. Les plaved right into Marty's hands. ‘Tow, though less experi- ence than Kennedy, fought the kind of fight to beat Gallagher last Summer. And won 7 of the 10 rounds, scoring & knockdown while doing so. As far as installing Gallagher the favorite because of his win over Ken- nedy is concerned, it might be men- tioned nary a boxing critic to watch Tow and Kennedy, stablemates, work out at Portner's could hand Les any edge over Tow.

One is none other than Rudy’s younger brother Ernie, who bows only Jim Londos ith any degree of consistency. Another is*little Abe Coleman, who rassles Ernie in the grand finale. Cole- man is New York's popular choice to rassle Londos, consistently going over the 50-minute mark with Jeems, which is quite a feat. A third possibility is Hans Kampfer, giant German, who rassles Vas- sell in one of the preliminarief.
