Jarrell-Saunders match is the outgrowth of a contest in the Metropolitan Siugles League in which Jarrell won three straight games from Saunders. In siz years of competi- tion it was only the second time that Saunders was shellacked. The con- test between Henson and Moore is of interest to horseshoe flippers be- cause Moore is only a point or two behind the Metropolitan champion in ringer percentages in the Metropoli- tan League and far ahead of the Dis- trict champion, Harry Saunders, who for two years heid the Metropolitan | title. Pollowing are the results of last night's matches: First round—Lee Fleshman de- feated Dent Lynch, 54-4, 51-0; Buck Fleshman defeated Bernard Wood, 53-26, 54-26; Ray Bell defeated Thomas Graves, 51-15, 55-9; Ed Kruse defeated Fred Brady, 50-6, 50-38; Joe Merryman defeated | Charles Oland, 51-46, 52-32; Windsor Barber defeated Lit Griffith, 50-19, 50-3; C.

PHILLIPS, Jr. AT tireless entrepeneur of the show ring, Col. C. L. Scott, is now brewing for Washington- ians a big league dish which probably will so whet their appetites that in the future they will demand service of Olympic fare at least once a year. | While the town’s tanbark miracle | man does not propose to import the | legendary nectar and ambrosia®from | the mountain tops of the gods, he | hopes to make his menu Olympic in that it will include some of the great every four years trek to some country or other to perform Olympian feats | of horsemanship. To be less allegorical and obscure, Col. Scott yearns to invite the Chilean and American Army squads to appear | |in a three-day show at the Meadow- | brook Club grounds on October 26, 27 and 28 (a Saturday, Sunday and | Monday). He would have them go through the regular Olympic routine over a course built in emulation of those staggering international bar- riers which for decades have kept horse lovers swooning with fear and delight as the officers of Italy, France, Germany and sundry other nations tried their nerve for the glory of patria, vaterland and whatnot. It might seem rather far-fetched to think of bringing the Chileans fo town, except that they will be in this for the National Horse Show in Madi- son Square Garden in November. Col. Scott seemed inclined to make it & two-way duel, perhaps because of the expense, but we call to his attention the fact that the Canadians, the Irich Free State and probably the French will have brave gentlemen in spurs hanging around New York ebout the same time. TFhey might be induced to appear making the affair a sort of preliminary Olympics. While the Riding and Hunt Club would be nominally sponsors of the Scott fiesta, it is planned to include most of the local and Federal digni- taries and mugwumps in the scheme. Upon their response will depend the real future of the enterprise for a reasonable, but tidy, sum will be needed to guarantee the overhead. LARMOUR “BUCK” OYSTER has devised for his American Legion benefit horse show this Saturday one of the most truly intriguing programs of the season. Its special interest lies in the emphasis on classes for green riders, who are usually discour- aged by the rigorous conditions of exhibition programs, favoring experi- enced and even professional horsemen. In exemplification of this point we refer you to the ladies’ novice saddle class, for women who have never won e blue ribbon in any class, riding horses that have never won in a saddle event.

Incidentally, the Montgomery show is to be held at the plant just across the road from the Meadowbrook Club, on the East-West highway, not in the club ring itself. ‘HERE was a show in that ring last Saturday, and not much is to be | said about it except that the after- noon passed pleasantly enough and Jimmy Andrews won everything in sight with his Kippema and Magic Maid, two of the boldest fencing horses in Virginia.

Howard C, Fair of Warrenton, who disclosed the idea to us, says there are excellent locations for fields down there, and the local gentry are keen to see the galloping game prosper on their acres. Of course, the theory is that visitors taking the boat trip down that way for 8 week end will find amusement in the dashing mallet tussles which have proved so popular here, and that the games at the same time will prove an added attraction to those who like to find some diversion away from the beach. Both notions should prove ab- solutely correct. BRAKES 4 Wheels Complete FREF ADJUSTMENTS Plymouth Essex $ g 75 Chrysler « 6 De Soto ENERAL BRAKE SERVICE 903 N'ST. NW. DE.5483 [ @ SAVOLDI “NOVICE,” SAYS SONNENBERG |Scoffs at “Drop Kick” Used “ by Wrestler He Tackles Here Thursday. US SONNENBERG, among the first of the college foot ball- ers entering professional wrestling, has no high opin- jon of other rah-rah gridmen who have taken to the mat game. Noth- | ing more than novices, snorts Sonnen- berg, and that goes double for Joe Savoldi, who will be Gus’ opponent in the main wrestling encounter at Griffith Stadium next Thursday night. According to the former Dartmouth foot ball great, Savoldi, who ran to glory over the gridiron for Notre | Dame, merely imitates—and that poorly—the “flying tackle,” he, Son- nenberg, introduced to the mat racket. Gus insists that Joe’s “drop kick" ought not annoy a regular wrestler. That there is no love lost between Sonnenberg and Savoldi is no secret in wrestledom. It all goes back to the belittling remarks Gus made concern- ing Joe's upset of the once-great Jim Londos several years ago. “If Londos let a novice like Savoldi defeat him with that joke ‘drop kick’ he ought to retire,” was Sonnenberg’s unkind comment at the time. And Joe riever has forgiven the slur. The “flying tackle” is Sonnenberg's pride and he scoffs at what he terms | “present day college kids trying to | steal my stuff.” And he boasts that “they never could get to first base on me’ with what they pull on other | wrestlers.” Thursday night will see this argu- | ment settled. | | (QNE of the most promising young- | sters in the wrestling game comes back to Griffith Stadium when popular | | Jack Donovan opposes clean-cut Ed | | Meske in 30-minute support of the | Savoldi-Sonnenberg match.
