"A—12 Tow Boxes Way to Win Over Mitchell : O'Maho s Lacks Aggressiveness, but Alexandria Boy Clearly Outpoints Opponent. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ARTY GALLAGHER is getting off his horse, doffing his riding togs and coming back to the ring for a fracas with Bobby Tow, says Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn of the Turner-Ahearn com- bine. Well, one caa’t believe there will be the fist flinging when these heavies meet that should occur next Monday night at Griffith Stadium when Petey Sarron and Joe Temes, featherweights out of the South, go at one another for 10 rounds or less. Tow gets the shot at Gallagher after his split decisica over Terry Mitchell | of New York at the ball yard last night. The bout was promised the Alexandria bus driver—if he won. But Bob's prospective meeting with the Pride of Foggy Bottom won't steam up Capital ring worms. Not after the way Tow in his boxing comeback after several months’ lay-off scored his victory over Mitchell. Gal- lagher rarely has been a let's-go-to-it driving battler and Tow was anything but such as he got the votes of cae of the two judges and the referee in the Mitchell melee. Left Jab Tow's Weapon. Tow won the fight last night mainly N with a left jab, fair boxing ability and a superior reach. The 200-pound Alexandrian, towering above the 18312~ pound New Yorker, poked that left in his opponent’s face plenty without jaflicting any substantial damage, but it was Mitchell who was the aggressor all the way. According to the scoring sheets of the two that gave the fight Tow's way, Bob took 6 of the 10 rounds and The Star’s point card gave mm‘ even a better break. It read seven for Tow, two for Mitchell and one even. But the official scoring and ‘The Star’s, too. was based solely on Tow's success in outboxing the wild- swinging Mitchell. For sheer aggressiveness and ability to take everything that came his way, Mitchell was a marvel. But they pay off on boxing ability as much as they €o on aggressiveness in the fight game these days, and when the boxer man- eges to land something like four blows tc the aggressive lad's one. regardless of the lack of power in the boxer’s punch, the boxer gets the duke. In that manner Tow earned the decision last night. Mitchell on Top at Start. LI tore into Tow at the outset and had him wondering what it was all sbout for the first two rounds. Terry took all Bob managed to throw and came back for more. He got that more, too, but managed to give just a little better. Mitchell's wild swings had Tow plainly worried in the first two heats From then until the last round, however, the fight was all Tow’s. The Alexandrian gave the New Yorker a neat boxing lesson. With his left jab he shoved Mitchell away every time the latter attempted to rush in— and Mitchell did that often—and oc- casionally Tow unleashed a right that slowed up the tough Terry. In those rounds that found him | elearly outpointed by Tow the blond New Ycrk fireball came close to get- ting the edge in just one. In the gixth Mitchell bore in with all he had and Tow was backing away most of the time. But Mitchell became either too wild or too careless before it ended and Tow for the one and only time in the bout flashed an aggres- sive streak that prevented a break in his winning stride. Many Question Decision. ‘HIS Mitchell is tough. He had to be, the way Tow was peppering him. He weathered all Bob shot through, but after his two successful starting rounds the New Yorker looked no more than a razzle-dazzle fighter throwing both fists, with the hope that one might land for a finishing touch, until the final heat. Then Mitchell turned on more steam and was on top of the Alex- andrian from bell to bell. But Tow also contracted a fighting fever at the same time and the best Mitchell could get from the spurt was a drawn round. There were many in the nearly 1500 at the fight who seemingly thought with Judge Henri De Sibour | that Mitchell deserved the decision. There was no mild razzing of the announcement of Tow's victory. They had been deeply impressed by the efforts of a valiant fighter. They had overlooked the boxing done by the other fellow, who rarely bothered to make any pretence of being a battler. Well, Tow wasn't. Burke Wins Gory Prelim. IN ONE of the prelims the ringworms who must get their sight of gore were well satisfled. Kirkwood Burke and Steve Kadash, heavies, who | were out to settle a grudge, socked one another sufficiently on beezer and mouth to have blood flowing freely. Starting in the third round, Burke floored Kadash five times—twice for counts of nine—and got a technical knockout when Kadash failed to come up for the fifth. In six-rounders Frankie way decision over Roy Manley and Joe Lipps, Georgia heavyweight, drew a similar verdict over Lou La Page, out of Canada by way of New York. In the opening four-round go, Popeye Irving took & beating from Mickey Flannigan, a Pittsburgh middleweight with & mean eye and a mauling right. Sports Mirror By the Associated Press.

O PROMPT has been the re- S sponse from those tennis play- ers ranked outside of the first 10 of the city to enter the tour- nament which dpens Saturday at the | Embassy courts, 2435 Massachusetts avenue, that Sponsor-Director-Organ- izer F. Dan Suttenfleld is closing the | entries tomorrow night. Until that | time he will continue to take them at the courts or over the telephone | at Metropolitan 1692. Differing from the enrollment of | | most local tournaments, in which the | bulk of the registration comes on the | eve of the opening, more than 30 play- | ers already have signified their in- tention of beginning the competition for this “wide-open” championship. Wherever possible, matches will be | arranged to suit the convenience of | the participants, but Suttenfield ex- | pects most of them to be played in | | the afternoon from 4 o'clock on. { The sons of Gerard Swope, president of the General Electric Co., form one of the doubles teams of the annual | Federal employes’ tournament being | beld this week at the Potomac Park | courts. Although the elder, John, was eliminated from the singles tour- | nament by the veteran Dean Judd | vesterday, he and his brother, Gerard, jr., take to the courts as a team this evening in an effort to keep in the run- | ning. They are scheduled to meet | Goldsmith and Fowler at 6 o'clock. The favorites, Ralph McElvenny, | Tony Latona, Alan Staubly and Don | Garber, advanced with Judd yester- | day into the fourth round. Entries for the women's competition, which has not yet started, are stm; being taken by Arturo Tomelden at| District 2200, Branch 2539.

Tall and pliant, the amlling1 miss rarely permits things to upset| her during a match, and that is just one of the many reasons she is fa- vored to fight it out with Sara| Moore in the finals next Saturday. Though starting late, she is but one step behind Dorette Millar and Mary Ryan, both of whom reached the | semi-finals yesterday, and her impres- | sive 6—1, 6—3 conquest of Betty Kronman leaves little doubt that she will get in the select circle the next Little Frances Carter, Bryn Mawr graduate, whose youthful appearance belies her collegiate alumna status, forced Sara Moore to fight for the second set yesterday after the city| the first, 6—2.

This afternoon_ Miss Moore faces | the tourney's misfress of ceremonies, Florence Black, while Mary Coote: meets Loveye Adkins. Both are quar- | ter-final affairs, scheduled to start at 5 pm. CONCLUDING the playground ten- nis for the year, the boys’ doubles championship will start tomorrow morning at 9:30 o’'clock on the Rose: dale, Montrose, Takoma and Chevy | Chase courts. Juniors will begin at that time, while seniors will take to | the courts at 2 p.m. Harry March and Charley Channing loom as the overwhelming favorites in the senior division. For the first time in history, the playground players will be ranked at the end of the season. Barney Welsh is “out” at Rye, as far as the singles competition goes. He still is up there, however, teaming with Jess Millman of Los Angeles in the doubles play. The District's hope} fell before Robert Bryan of Chatta- nooga, the South’'s No. 2 ranking player, in straight sets, 6—3, 6—3, but in the doubles with Millman defeated J. Daggett and Melvin Partridge of New York State, 6—3, 6—3. EASTERN TENNIS - INHEATED STAGE Stars Clashing in Number| of Matches—Wood Is Due | ‘ for Action Today.

This is Levinsky's great chance and maybe his last chance, and even the King is not foolish enough to let it slip. Personal and inexpert opinion is that Louis will win, but that he will have to put up the best fight of his brief career to do the job and that he will get plenty of mauling before it is done.

PHILLIPS, JR. | | In emulation of the international| open jumping serles in Mgdison | Square Garden each Fall, the War- renton horse show prize list this year includes an international division to be contested on both days of the meeting, September 2 and 3. The performance horses will have fo face a course of eight wingless barriers about 4 feet high, and their scores will be marked according to the Eques- trian Federation rules, a bit less | stringent than the laws prevailing in most open classes. No matter how exciting its non- conformation classes, Warrenton, of course, prides itself most on the hunter events, which this season will embrace four classes for green hunt- ers, two for qualified open hunters, a ladies’ class, lightweight, middle and heavyweight thoroughbreds and one test limited to half-breeds. There will be the usual Corinthian and hunt | teams, both well above average quality at this meet, with a $1.500 trophy | posted for whoever can win it three times with a trio of hunting horses. The desire to put Warrenton on a plane with Upperville a breeders’ | exhibition is evident in the inclusion of eight classes for young stock and brood mares, while there are five for ponies and three for saddle horses. A gay nineties class, an amusing diver- | sion revived by Buck Oyster at his | recent Legion charity show, also has been carded. The show's officers this year are Julian C.
