SPORTS. Skinny Odds Favor De Grasse Tonight : Baer-Schmeling Fight Offers Frothy FIEHTS WOLFRAM [ TANBARK AND TURE FOR SARRON SHOT Bout Is Second in Drive to| Restore Confidence of District Fans. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. TEP No. 2 in its “restoration of public confidence drive” will be committed by the Capital's new fistic irm of Mons. Joe Turner and Goldie Ahearn tonight when an- other batch of club fighters, headed by Pete De Grasse of Brooklyn and Frankie Wolfram of Canada, are tossed into the ring at the Washington Audi- torium for purposes of following up where Phil Furr and Jackie Davis left off a fortnight ago. Selected not because of their rank in the featherweight fistic whirl, but because they have become virtual guarantees of entertainment here, De Grasse and Wolfram are slated to travel 10 rounds, with the Canadian reigning a slight favorite in local bet- | ting circles. De Grasse, a wiry little French-In- dian, still holds the unotficial local record for action which he established while twice whipping clever Frankie (Kid) Covelli earlier in the Winter at | the Hunt Club. On the strength of those two victories he was looked upon as a successor to Petey Sarron as Washington's favorite 126-pounder, but the venerable Eddie Burl emerged from oblivion shortly after and took a clean-cut decision over De Grasse. The loss ruined all chances of an im- mediate De Grasse-Sarron bout, but now Matchmaker Ahearn believes that the Brooklynite will have earned the shot if he whips Wolfram. De Grasse’s Left Is Factor. | WOLFRAM has shown only once | in the Capital and then he self to win a decision over Billy BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. N ANOTHER two years, America is going to be crawling with grand national brush courses. The American equivalents of Becher's Brooks, Canal Turns and Liver- pools will be as commonplace as buds in April, and any one who goes to England for the annual steeplechase classic there will do so merely in the spirit of comparison. It will be very much like leaving Washington for a trip to Greece, to get a look at some columns. 3 Infection from the G. N. germ was first noticed locally several years ago, when the John Hay Whitneys built a formidable series of obstacles on Llangollen Farm, near Upperville, and founded ohe of the most exciting events on cur national sporting cal- endar, the Llangollen Steeplechase. The jumps were, and are, big. At firsg they were so stiff a man could walk across the top without sinking into the sticks. After a half a dozen horses and riders had darned near killed themselves in falling, the rig- idity was somewhat reduced. The next platoon in the Grand Na- tional parade marched forth under the guidance of William du Pont, jr. He built fences tall and tough, and opened nis Far Hills course last year. It became immensely popular over- night. The latest to join the league is the Virginta Gold Cup Association, which plots two new courses, increased purses and a 100 per cent more satis- factory site for its meeting this year and hereafter. HE Virginia Gold Cup has been indelibly stamped on the mem- ories of all who saw it in the| past few years. They never could for- get a race where the spectators had to run approximately as far and fast as the horses in order to tell what went on. Now the meeting is to be moved back to Broadview, the old William Wilbur estate outside of Warrenton. | There the crowds can stand on a hill, | watch both the brush and timber races run around them at close hand.

EW YORK, March 18.—With the national indoor ' cham- . plonship tucked under his belt for the third time in four years, Gregory S. Mangin defi- nitely has launched a comeback cam- paign for national recognition as one of the country’s “first 10" tennis players. Mangin strengthened his bid for res toration of his name to the list of the Nation’s leading court stars Saturday when he unleashed a last set attack of such irresistible speed and power as to blast Berkeley Bell almost off the board court in the 7th Regiment | Armory and recaptured the title in | a thrilling five-set final, 8—6, 7—5, | 2—6, 0—6, 6—2. It was the Newark player's failure to defend successfully the champijon- ship last year against Lester R. Stoefen that started him on the downward trail. By the end of the major competitive season in the na- tional outdoor championship at Forest Hills, his colors had been lowered so often that the United States Lawn | Tennis Association lowered his rating | from the sixth to twelfth.

EW YORK, March 18.—Max Schmeling enjoys the dis- tinction of being the first } ranking challenger for Max | Baer's heavyweight title. ‘That knockout over Steve Hamas cannot | be denied. Reports of Steve's poor condition and the dull effort he made | against the former champion do not lessen the value of Schmeling’s vic- tory.

He was given the run-around for two months before his guarantee was deposited in a French bank. He could have de- manded and obtained a two-week postponement to enable Hamas to at- tain proper condition.

However, unlike them he descendants of the original seasoned with a little foreign blood. In spite of that he 1s still a roble animal, one that is a fit subject for a whole rew book of folk iorz and legend. Another Irish breed that is little known is the Irish water spaniel. This dog is a sort of brownish red, whereas | the wolfhound is a red brindle. The | 1rish water spaniel is probably 4 mix- ture of standard poodle and spaniel. His smooth face and curly hair suggest the former; his retrieving and general sporting abilities suggest the former. He is an odd-looking fellow with his funny topknot, his shrewd eyes and his rat tail, but he is an able workman and a fine friend. OMPLETELY characteristic of the Irish is the national terrier, a red - haired, impulsive, quick- | moving dog that goes through life with a chip on his shoulder and dares the world to knock it off. His nickname is | Dare-devil, and it is one he deserves, | for he'll tackle anything and gener- ally come out the victor. Though he is quick io pick a fight, he is full of affection and is one of the most loyal of friends. Probably the best loved of all the Irish breeds, as he is undoubtedly the handsomest and best known, is the | Irish setter. If the Irish terrier is the ter must typify the poetic strain in- herent in anything Irish. With his burnished mahogany coat, his soulful brown eyes, his beautifully propor- tioned body and quiet ways, he makes one think of an artist’s idealization of a dog. Yet in spite of his decorative value the Irish setter is no slouch in the field. He is second only to his English cousin at the leading fleld him. Fifth and last of the Irish breeds is the Kerry Blue terrier. He is larger and even scrappier than the red Irish terrier and is slightly smaller than the Airedale. Instead of being wire haired like most other terriers he is silky haired. Born jet black, when about nine months old his color be- gins to lighten, until at maturity he is a clear steel or pigeon blue. He is too large to go to earth like most other working terriers and too small to hunt big game like the Airedale. But he can go after “varmints” above ground, help a little around the farm and just be a darn good sport. ANADIAN CHAMPION HALDON BANJO, Scottish terrier, is be- ing given an opportunity to prove his worth as a sire. He is the sire of two litters, one belonging to the Groomewell Kennels, another to the Philabeg Kennels. Upon the show success of these pups, his reputation depends. A locally bred litter of Scotties, four females and two males, recently was born in Texas. They are by Avion Camber out of Jean of Beech Tree, which was sold by Beech Tree Farm to its Texas owner. Jean is the mother of the Scottie Dr. Bucking- ham purchased from the Lady Astor Kennels, and which he plans on show- ing at the approaching show.
