Yarosz, Ross and McLarnin Useless to Boxing, Declares Garden Matchmaker “THRE CHAMPIONS SQUAT ON CROWNS They’re Giving Fight Fans a | | to the peeee-pul. Ruii-Around, Declares Jimmy Johnston. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 7.—James J. Johnston, the old maestro of Madison Square Garden, thinks the lightweight, mid- dleweight and welterweight titles might well be dumped into the pugi- listic ash can and no harm done to anybody. Johnston, somewhat piqued at his failure to coax the rulers of these di- visions into the ring at his Eighth avenue swat emporium, spent some time popping off about the grand old runaround he says Messrs. Barney Ross, Jimmy McLarnin and Teddy Yarosz are giving the fight-going | public. “A fine howdee-do,” sputtered Johnston as he presided over high tea in the Garden basement. “A fine bunch of champs. Yes. sir, I say dump their titles into the ash can and I hope they don't feel hurt. Won't Take a Chance. What's he done since he won the title? Il tell you. He's been sitting on it. He's had a few over-the-weight bouts, but you're not catching him sticking his chin out at anybody he thinks might take him. “This Babe Risko slipped over a fast one, but it was a non-title bout and didn’t count. Even at that, you don’t hear Yarosz hollering for a re- turn match. “About all Barney Ross is doing is weight king). "TAKE this Yarosz (the middle- | he won't fight in Madison Square Garden.

He is so keen to defend his championship that he won't even reply to offers. Titles are ok. if you've got champions who de- | fend them. If not, pitch them out of the window. That's my story and I stick to it.” LOOP SPORTS ARE OFF Prince Georges Will Not Have Base Ball or Volley Ball. For the first time in years there | will be no base ball and volley ball | competition County High School Leagues this season, according to an announce- ment made today by William D.

PHILLIPS, JR. HE new Riding and Hunt Club Meadowbrook combination has dedicated itself to the pleasant task of bringing fox hunting On Saturday at 2:30 the hunt club hounds will set forth on a drag course followed, the committee hopes, by everybody around Washington inter- ested in the chase, in jumping, or in riding at all. The idea is to give no- vitiates a taste of riding to hounds, to show them that it is not some strange, mystical sport accessible to a chosen few distant cousins of a horse, but mostly a matter of good, forthright horsemanship and handling of hounds. Col. C. L. Scott, Carlton Eacho and Maj. J. J. Bohn have planned an aft- ernoon which should interest and sat- isfy all comers. Enough checks are designated in the drag to make the pace suitable for even the most shak- ily mounted, the jumps are not at all ntimidating, and those who prefer not to take them can go around. As for the old-timers, who mlght consider such a course not up to their klood, they ought to be on hand as a welcoming committee, and to discover some of the new riding country cpened up in nearby Maryland since Meadowbrook and the Hunt Club joined hands. After the drag there is to be a tea | at the Meadowbrook club house. Incidentally, the Riding and Hunt Club has elected to its board of gov- going around the country telling folksi ernors Henry L. Stimson, former Sec- 1etary of State; his excellency, Au- | gusto Rosso, the Italian Ambassador; Irwin B. Laughlin, former Ambassador to Spain; Frederick Davenport, John O. Gheen and Harry H. Shelton. * % kX First horse show note of the sea- son: The Fairfax Hunt will hold its annual exhibition on April 27 at the Sunset Hills grounds. No further | data yet, except that the general com- mittee consists of Reed Thomas, chairman; A. Smith Bowman, presi- dent; Nancy Hanna, secretary; Stew= art Preece, treasurer, and Gen. Ed- win B.

Here's how Charles McLennan, rac- ing secretary and handicapper at Hileah Park, figures the horses will finish in the $15,000 Florida Derby Saturday: Roman Soldier, Black Helen and Brannon. E. R. Bradley has turned up with another bright Florida Derby candi- date in Bloodroot, a daughter of Blue Larkspur. The little filly stepped off a mile in 1:36 4-5 yesterday to win by 5 lengths. C. Perna has not reached the sta- tus of a full-fledged jockey but al- ready he has decided to hang up his tack and branch out as an owner. There's a reason. Perna won $40,000 as a result of a $7 investment in a Cuban lottery and he plans to invest a portion of the amount in thorough- breds. From the looks of things there will be no shortage of horses at the Trop- ical Park meeting opening Monday and running to April 1. Applica- tions are pouring in for stabling accommodations. In the list of ap- plicants are included all of the lead- ing stables which are racing at Hia- leah Park.

What route you follow makes little or no difference to anyone. Swim, circle, go straight as a crow, it matters not so long as you win. Therefore the points in question are kept secret until it is too iate for anyone to go out on horseback and figure the easiest route. As in the past, the two classes this year will be a 6-mile gallop for indi- vidual entries, all of whom will start at the same time, and a team event of 7%2 miles for ladies and gentlemen, to be judged on a time basis. The conditions are as follows: Races open to members of the War- | renton Hunt, landowners and their guests. Open to hunters that have been hunted at least six times during the current season by their owners with the Warrenton or a recognized hunt and that are acceptable to the com- mittee. An owner may designate an- other qualified rider. Weights are to be regular hunting clothes and equipment. Contestants must not ride a road | for more than a quarter of a mile at one time, must close all gates and put | up all bars themselves. Newly seeded | fields must not be crossed. Partners will be drawn by lot in the team race. Both members of the team must finish and the lowest total time wins. In case there is an un- even number of lady or gentleman starters, the committee reserves the right to balance the teams by substi- tuting a lady for a gentleman and vice versa in the drawing. Mr. Frederick H. Prince has pre- sented trophies for the trials, consist- ing of a Challenge Cup, to be won | twice by the same rider in the first race, and a piece of plate to the win- | ner, and two pieces of plate to the winning team in the second race. 0 T S ALL-WEATHER GO0 Gives You at No Extra Cost =—43% More Miles of REAL Non-Skid Safety ==Quicker- S(opplng Grip—*“The year Margln o( Safety” =Blowout Protection in EVERY Ply ==Guarant st Road Hazards =Guarantee against defects for life ==Qur own guarantee and all year service You'll 'SEEK OPPONENTS FOR HOCKEY TOUR All-British Team May Be Organized to Accompany Canadiens Abroad. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 7.—Now that the Montreal Canadiens are definitely committed to a European tour after the Stan- | ley Cup play-offs this Spring, the question arises as to what rival team will accompany them to furnish oppo- sition. Les Canadiens, theoretically an all- French team, figure as a “natural” with the cash customers. To provide an international angle for the tour, it | has been suggested the opposition [ might come from an all-star team of | British-born players, such as that | rounded up from the professional ros- | ters by James C. Hendy, editor of the National Hockey Guide. British Talent Abundant. EARCHING through his records | during the open season for all-star | teams, Hendy discovered a com- plete squad, from manager down to trainer and spare goalite, of men born in the British Isles. All learned their hockey in Canada, however. All but one or two are members of the Na- tional Hockey League teams or have| !hnd big league experience. ‘The Canadiens might contribute two of their regulars, Goalite Wilf Cude, born in Barry, Wales, and Jack Riley, [renlor. from Berckenla, Ireland, bor- rowing a couple of bona fide French ASH DOWN _ TIRES - RADIO BATTERIES ERMS TO UIT YOU n,fvEAn PEN a Convenient Payment Account here—you'll find us most accommodating in arranging terms to please you.
