SPORTS in Learns ESDAY, MARCH 13, 19 Impossible to Keep Job and Play Top-Notch Tennis, Gregory Mang <« BUSINESS BRINGS | DROP IN RANKING Slides From 5th to 13th,| but Is Choice to Take U. S. Indoor Title. By the Associated Press EW YORK, March 13.—Some business men after a fatiguing | day at the office find relaxa- tion sitting in the first or sec- | ond row at some musical revue, but | Gregory S. Mangin finds his relief in playing tennis. Until recently one of the country’s top-flight court performers and de- | cidedly the foremost indoor player. | Mangin obtained employment in a | brokerage house more than a year ago, | much to the detriment of his game‘ and his national ranking. | “You can't play tennis—that is, | good tennis—and keep your job, too,” | said Mangin today as he waited to take his turn on the courts in a third- round match of the men's national indoor championship. Becomes Recreation. % A FTER a trying day at the office I enjoy a couple of sets of ten he continued, “but very often I am not able to perform in top form after the n.ental pressure of an active day. Good tennis and business Just don’t mix.” When Mangin launched his busi- ness career he ranked fifth in the Nation and was enjoying the second vear of his reign as national indoor titlist. Last vear he dropped to thir- teenth in the standing and lost the title to Lester R. Stoefen. With Stoefen now a professional, the title lies among the 16 contestants in the third round, but Mangin, in with the exception of his old arch- rival, Berkeley Bell, is the heavy fa- vorite to recapture the championship and thus retire the challenge trophy on which he already holds two legs.

Salichs of New York, but the feature match was to find Julius Seligsan, former intercollegiate champion, matched against Dr. Eugene McCauliff of Yonkers, seeded No. 4. Seligson, now an insurance broker, was ranked ninth nationally in 1928. A year later he went into busine: practically abstaining from tourna- ment_competition In the first and second rounds he displayed flashes of his old form and despite his four years of inac- tivity he is conceded a good chance to eliminate the racquet-wielding doctor of philosophy.

Charley shot 201 paired with his wife ‘Record Duckpin String Comes | As His Easiest Achievement) BY ROD THOMAS. | HARLEY YOUNG, the only Washington bowler ever to roll a 200-game cf duckpins undcr championship condi- tions, says it was the easiest accom- plishment of his career. The game was rolled on April 11, 1931, in a mixed doubles match on the Temple drives in Baltimore. “There was only one nervous mo- ment,” said Charley today in discuss- ‘mg his score of 201, “and that at the very end. I had struck in the last| ;mrec boxes and Wwith the first of the | two extra balls of the final box had | counted six, leaving up a ‘basket” I| needed two sticks to best 200. For the first time in the game a shot looked tough. My ball had been working per- fectly, and I didn’t seem able to miss a thing. | ‘ Hits the Right Pin. | e HE nervousness didn’t last long, however, and I let fly with a ball that hit the key pin flush on the nose, cutting a deuce.” Young came within a wiggle of | stringing six strikes. He aced the fifth and sixth frames, and with his first | ball in the seventh left up only a wob- | bling No. 5 pin. He struck in the eighth, ninth and tenth. | Young’s game established a national | record, but it was beaten in the same year by Louis Catelli at Pawtucket, R. I, by one pin and later Catelli’s | mark was tied by Wilbur Carmody of s B o gy Suspn ot general average for the District, Golf Club anq Federal ¥£agues isabout 112, Rises to Bowling Heights for One Game YOUNG, in mixed doubles back in 1931.

In the previous string he struggled | for a mere 101. | Incidentally, the bowler who holds | the District record for a league game, Eddie Keith, who rolled 196 several seasons back, was “on fire” again last night. Eddie shot 406 with Cha- conas Market to top the Columbus Heights League for the evening. Looks for Big Field.

The story of Rolf came to llghfi here when the book, “Dogs and Dogs, by Joseph Edward Harry, Ph. D., was being indexed for the new library of the American Kennel Club, controlling body of the sport of dogs. The vol- ume is one of many recently presented to the governing body. Rolf learned the alphabet so well that he was able to dictate letters, and he did the children’s arithmetic home work, distinguished other breeds of dog and told why they were dif- ferent, and expressed his emotions and opinions voluntarily without be- ing questioned. Dr. Harry writes of him as follows: A Indexing of Book. | “Dr. William Mackenzie of Genoa | has given a complete account of a| | three-days' investigation of Rolf in | the ‘Archives de Psychologie’ (Jan- uary, 1914). Articles on this mar- | velous dog have also appeared in | “Tierselee’ and in the ‘Mitteilungen’ of the Society of Animal Psychology. Rolf's identification of pictures cards were without exception correct. birds were shown to him, he rapped out ‘tree.’ ‘Women,’ as distinguished from men, he characted by ‘nice hair, | nice clothes” When he had correctly identified a dachshund, he was asked: ‘What are you?’ He answered, ‘Dog.’ | He was told: ‘Yes, bt the dachshund og, too.’ Rolf answered: ‘Other feet.'” The crowning feat in Rolf's career was his dictation of a letter that was so0 long it required 850 taps to spell out all the letters, and which occu- pled 50 minutes.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 13.—Owners of thoroughbred horses are be- ginning to realize there is vir- tually no chance for a filly to | win the Kentucky Derby. From the fine crop of female racers in last year’s juvenile ranks, only one ovtstanding filly, Calumet Farm's Nellie Flag, was nominated for the 1935 Derby. Regret was the only filly to win the classic, and that was 20 years ago. Nellie Flag, the champion filly of 1934, won $57,240 in stakes and purses, but the defeat of the highly favored Mata Hari and Bazaar in last year's race is an indication of the task which faces her. Stars Are Left Out. EADING fillies of 1934 which were not nominated for the 1935 Derby were Toro Nancy, winner of $44.325; Motto, winner of $28,960; Go Quick, $15.100; Hasty Glance, $11.850, and Col. E. R. Bradley's Blark Helen, which won the Florida Derby last Saturd. When Regret won in 1915 she car- ried only 112 pounds. That was before the Derby weights were standardized at 126 pounds for colts and geldings and 121 for fillies ‘True, the highest weight in the field Regret defeated was 117 pounds, so she had the same 5-pound advantage that fillies now have over Derby colts.

ALWAYS GREAT...NOW GREATER THAN EVER INCE its founding in 1910, the American Oil Company has marched steadily ahead. By the end of 1932, it had become one of the largest sellers of petroleum pro- ducts in the Middle Atlantic States. During this period, it has been a pioneer in the de- velopment of new products and has many “firsts” to its credit. Among these, it created Amoco-Gas - the Original Special Motor Fuel, which revolutionized the whole gaso- line and automotive industries.
