SPOK1S. THE EVENING .STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1940. : SPORTS. —17 - Stake and Novelty Classes Headlined on Program of Washington Horse Show 19 Events Scheduled; Three Horses Bag Two Firsts Each Huntley Glen, Highland Ace and Rascal Star In Opening Contests By ROBERT HENRY. Heavily endowed stake classes for hunters and jumpers and a novelty event were to feature the Junior League-sponsored Washington Horse Show, being held at the Meadow- brook Saddle Club on the East-West highway today preparatory to cham- pionship awards tomorrow. Heading the list of 19 classes set for decision were the $500 hunter stake, the $500 jumper stake, the $250 working hunter stake and the Gay 90's number. Also listed was the colorful Corinthian class in which riders were to show their mounts in full hunting attire. Classes this morning were for Junior riders with the A. S. P. C. A. Horsemanship event the most valued. Final day classes will start tomor- row at 1:30 pm. with the hunter, Jjumper, working hunter champion- ship and three open jumper classes featured. Quality Overcomes Quantity. In opening day classes yesterday exhibitors found that quality was more important than quantity, each of the three double winners being from stables that had three or fewer horses entered. Rascal, winner of the limited hunters and lightweight hunters, is the sole entry of Mrs, Austin Jennings of Wesport, Conn. Huntley Glen, victor in the handicap Jjumpers and first phase of the three- day jumper event, is the only horse being shown by Nancy Marie Shaw, while Highland Ace, first in the green hunters and suitable to be- come hunters, is one of two repre- senting C. M. Greer, jr.’s stable from Upperville, Va. The only other stable to earn two blues was that of Mrs. George Watts Hill of Durham, N. C., whose Bal- konian triumphed in the model hunters and whose Inky won the open working hunters. Mrs. Hill's | other entry, Lucky Buck, failed to score. The large stables of Mrs. John Hay Whitney of Upperville | and Mr. and Mrs. George P. Green- | halgh of Berryville which scored | heavily last year, had little luck until Billy Do, 1939 jumper champion, won the open working hunters for the Greenhalghs. Other Stables Disappointed. Two other strong strings which were expected to account for numer-’ ous ribbons managed to land only | one blue between them. The stable | leased by Patricia Bolling from Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Untermyer of Green- wich, Conn., was shut out. Its main | hopes, Hexameter and Illuminator, | s0 far have not appealed to the hunter judges although both have | earned championships at the New York National Show. The other | stable, owned by Mr. and Mrs. W. Haggin Perry of Cobham, Va., took only one first when To Victory won the open hunters. Other members of this usually successful outfit, Scotchwood, Bo Bend, Demopolis and Santa Claus, failed to garner anything more than minor awards. | Local owners, who generally have trouble winning in their own show, were upheld early when Samuel Bogley rode his Ringmaster to vic- tory in the warmup jumpers’ class over most of the best jumpers quar- tered at Meadowbrook. It required three extra rounds for Ringmaster | to win. He was forced into the | Jjumpoffs by the Greenhalghs’ Big Boy. In another series of jump- | offs Lisbeth Stieg’s Hi Ho, one of | the main hopes of the hometowners, | bowed in the knockdown and out to Lew Dunbar, owned by Dr. and Mrs. Walter T. Kees of New York | City. Miss Bobbie Williams, who | rode the winner, suffered one of the four falls of the day before win- ning. The only serious fall was| that of Frank Christmas, who in- Jjured a shoulder while schooling | U. 8. Randle’s Randle’s Way. Isolde and Cockade Score. Other local winners were Mrs.| Richard H. Hawkins, jr.s, Isolde, which captured the local hunters, and Capt. John Collier's Gay Cockade, winner of the officers’ Jumping class. Royalty II, owned by Robert S. Waters of Johnstown, Pa., and one of the favorites for the hunter| championship, earned top honors in the middle and heavyweight hunt- ers, with Mrs. Perry riding.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 18—In the midst of mounting misery cre- ated by explosion of the supposi- tion Washington's pitching had burrowed low enough to strike oil and couldn't delve much farther into the depths, Manager Bucky the defense of youthful Sid Hud- son, who is beginning to need it. The 23-year-old Hudson, a calm, quiet kid of whom much has been expected despite the fact he is making a running broad jump from the class D Florida State League to the majors, still is equipped with the stylish delivery that so enrap- tured Harris at the Orlando train- ing camp. He has his fascinating fast ball and his curve and change of pace haven't vanished, but his control has, along with considerable prestige. Hudson started here for the Nats yesterday and the first out of the game was Hudson, who sampled a soothing shower after walking three batters, issuing a fluke single and then walking two more. The In- dians had nicked him for three runs and climbed aboard Rene Monteagudo, who entered the en- gagement with the bases loaded, for seven more runs in that first inning en route to an 18-1 victory. ‘Weather May Be Hampering Sid. In five starts Hudson has failed to approach the form he revealed in pre-season games, although win- ning a brace of 11-hit performances from St. Louis and Philadelphia. His latest labor was a distressing display, but Harris remains faithful to the towering rookie right-hander. “I still regard him as the least of our pitching evils,” Harris was saying today. “The kid's simply a much more polished pitcher than he’s shown. I can’t read minds and I can't explain what’s wrong with ‘him, but I still say he can't miss. “I doubt if he’s ever pitched on a day as chilly as yesterday and I think he’s going to improve greatly when the weather gets warner, but in the meantime I believe he needs plenty of work and tnat’s what I'm him right back against the White Sox on Monday.” southpaw, was on the unimpressive side.

Gelbert Not Classed as Pitcher. Thus was born the pitching debut |of veteran Charley Gelbert. With | the Nats trailing, 15-0, Harris sent Gelbert, an infielder of 14 years ex- | perience, to the mound in the sixth. He retired five men in order, some- what of a miraculous achievement at | the time, before Jeff Heath whacked his second successive home run. | Charley allowed two more runs in the eighth. Although a rousing success in com- parison with what preceded him, Gelbert won’t be employed in that capacity again. Harris inserted him only because Krakauskas tomplained of an aching arm. Bucky is being beseiged by tele- grams from major and minor league pitching castoffs, but the only hurler now under consideration by the Nats is Willis Hudlin, recently released by Cleveland. Hudlin has conferred with Harris and may land a job with ‘Washington. While Washington is attempting to locate some semblance of slab strength, Cleveland was hailing the fourth triumph of undefeated Al Milnar, who limited the Nats to seven hits, Gerald Walker's double and Cecil Traves’' single producing their only run in the ninth. Ken Chase was to face Johnny Allen on the mound today, with Dutch Leonard ticketed to open the three-game series at Chicago on Sunday. G. A. O. Tops Interior Eight runs in the third inning were enough to give General Ac- counting Office a 9-7 victory over Interior in their Departmental League game yesterday.

B. A. Ranks Favored To Win Thursday By the Associated Press. POMPTON LAKES, N. J, May 18—~There’s & busy. summer ahead foy Ceferino Garcia—provided he doesn’t get his middleweight crown knocked off by Ken Overlin in Mad- ison Square Garden next Thursday night. ‘The “bolo punching” Filipino, heavier at 158 than ever before, winds up boxing tomorrow for Thursday’s 15-round fuss in which he puts his New York and Cali- fornia-recognized world champion- ship on the Lne against the Virgin= ian. Yet he and his entourage al- ready are looking ahead to the summer’s campaigning. Eager to Fight Zale. His manager, George Parnassus, is thinking over an offer to tangle with Tony Zale in Chicago in June or July in a non-title affair. Par- nassus figures Garcia can whip Zale, thereby, he claims, “proving just how much fighter Al Hostak real- ly is.” Hostak is the other half of the middleweight championship, recog- nized by the National Boxing Asso- ciation. Zale game him a going over not long ago, and Garcia has been trying to land a fight with him for months to straighten out the mid- dleweight mess. “Then,” Parnassus explained, “there’s also young Corbett. We have an offer to take him on n San Fran- cisco. “But what we want most is a fight with Billy Conn, even if he does outweigh us nearly 20 pounds. Garcla says he'd be a cinch to lick him, light-heavyweight champion- ship and all.” Overlin Not Rated Setup. Right now, however, Garcia, while favored over Overlin, is going to have his hands full. The Virginian has a lot of boxing skill to toss against Garcia’s, stiff right-hand shots. Garcia won his “division” of the title by flattening Fred Apostoli last October. Since then he has knocked out durable Glen Lee of Nebraska, fought a draw with Henry Arm- strong and flattened Allen Mat- thews in St. Louis. Golfers Facing Lull Till Mid-Atlantic Title Tourney Hillendale to Be Host In June; Orioles Shun Chevy Chase Event Amateur linksmen of Washington, finished with their first big joust of . the season, have a lengthy siesta in front of them before the next big affair coming up in which to test their skill. The Chevy Chase tourney, which wound up yester- day, was an orgy of fine shot mak- ing over one of the great courses of the land. The next big one for the male mashie maulers will be the Middle Atlantic amateur cham. pionship, to be played at Baltimore's Hillendale Club starting June 13. Then in rapid succession come a series of major tourneys. Congres- sional Country Club will be the venue of the Maryland amateur title tourney June 21, 22 and 23, ending on a Sunday, which sounds like a screwy idea. But, that's the way the State association wanted it, and they'll ‘have it that way. Shun Chevy Chase Event. And did you notice that very few Baltimore golfers entered the Chevy Chase tournament, and that he Baltimore Country Club tourney has been canceled this year? Is amateur golf around Baltimore go- ing into a tailspin? Following the Maryland cham- plonship comes the best ball invi- tation event of the Capital Golf and Country Club, scheduled for June 28, 29 and 30. That one promises to be good. Any best ball affair is sure to be that way. When two good amateurs start taking chances at all angles of the game they can take par apart any time they start. This one should draw a good field. Few Amateurs Enter Open. Only a few amateurs have en- tered the sectional rounds for the open championship at Manor May |27. The simon pures generally don't have a chance. The pros are too good and too steady for the amateurs. « But the women have their cus- tomary heavy schedule. Next week will come along The Star Cup tour- ney, followed in rapid succession by the women's Eastern championship and the Maryland State title tour- ney at Baltimore, the District cham- pionship event at Kehwood and a couple of mixed foursome affairs.

Morris walked eight Friends batters and struck out only seven as his teammates piled up a 13-0 count.

Triumph of Fireman Burnett At Chevy Chase Is Tipoff on High Class of D. C. Golfers By WALTER McCALLUM. The lesson might be that Wash- ington has a flock of amateur golfers good enough to handle themselves in any company. It might be, but that isn't new. It always has been true. The National Capital happens to be a hot spot for amateur golf. One of the good ones of the land at a time | when good amateurs' are not so| many. For years—well, at least a half dozen—we've had a good amateur golfer around town named Volney Burnett. He happens, at the moment, to be a member of the Washington Fire Department. He is—also at the moment—a member of the company manning No. 11 engine If you happen to be in that terri- tory and fire breaks out Volney will be one of the lads manning the engine—hip boots, tin hat and rubber coat—all equipped to put out the fire in your kitchen—in case there is a fire. If there isn't a fire Volney also can handle anything that per- tains to & hot round of golf—if you happen to be a golfer For if there’s one thing Burnett is, he is a hot golfer. And also a hot fireman. He couldn't play in the Chevy Chase invitation golf tourna- ment last year because a few days before the tournament started there was an apartment fire in Washing- ton. Volney, always quick on the getaway, slid down a rope and blistered his hands. But he got away to a fast start yesterday on the final day of the Chevy Chase tourney. Where his hands were blistered a year ago, Volney turned around and blistered the Chevy Chase course with a flock of birdies. It was a kind of blitzkrieg for the fireman from No. 11 engine. Burnett Springs Upset. In the first place he was about a 1-to-5 underdog against Roger Peacock in the semifinal. He licked Peacock, 2 and 1. Then he was no better than even money against District Champion Ralph Bogart in the final. He licked Bogart, 6 and 4. He was no cinch to cling close to par over the tough Chevy Chase course. But he whipped par by a stroke in the 14 holes of the final match. In other words, Fireman Burnett put out the fire with a brand of hot golf that would—in any com- Maryland Rackefers Cinch City Honors By Beafing 6. U.

Bogart had beaten Bobby Dunkel- berger, the pride of North Carolina, thus completing the other half of what might be called the season’s big upset. And Bogart, on the strength of that, might have been the favorite. But Fireman Burnett turned on the quencher with a 15-footer for a winning 4 at the first hole. He went on from there. He didn't hit all the greens in par. Indeed he missed four greens on the first nine, but he got out in par just the same —with the aid of a putter that re- fused to miss. And he was 3 up. At that point, with a par 35 behind him, he had used only 13 putts. Burnett Refuses to Miss. “Don’t you ever miss?” asked Bogart, on the eighth green. “Nope,” said Volney, and canned a 3-footer for a par on the ninth. He sank a 15-footer for a deuce on the tenth, holed an 8-footer for a 4 on the eleventh, and canned a curling 20-footer for a 3 on the twelfth, and the match was in. Ralph —the District champ— | might as well not have played the last two holes of the match. It was useless. For Volney—the hot fireman— and his hot putter, refused to miss. There was a spot where Ralph might have won his only hole of the match—at the thirteenth. But Ralph missed a 3-footer for a par and Volney went on to win on the next green. It was slaughter, and nothing else. Also it was a victory for law and | order, for Volney, good fireman that he is, was supposed to be on duty yesterday, guarding the homes of the good burghers out around No. 11 engine. But Volney had a chore to do. He had to win the Chevy Chase tourney. He didn't waste much time | doing it, after hiring a man to sub for him. For magnificent scoring and fine | golf you'll find it hard to beat his score. Here it is, with par, and with that of Bogart—the runner-up: Out—Par 444 344 453—35 Burnett . - 444 344 45335 Bogart __ - 544 444 553—38 In—Par _ - 344 344 444—34—69 Burnett - - 243 44 Bogart . 344 45 Burnett wins, 6 and 4; bye holes not played out. Uses Only 20 Putts. In case you are interested in the way an efficient fireman goes about his work, Volney used only 20 putts in 14 holes. We can recommend him for rescuing aging maiden aunts or nervous persons. He has that touch, | even if he anly has demonstrated it on the putting green.

PITTSBURGH, May 18—Chal- lenger Gus Lesnevich doesn't care how many rounds he has to go against Light-Heavyweight Cham- pion Billy Conn in Detroit on June 5. Authority for the statement is the fighter’s manager, Lew Diamond, who said he would be agreeable to conforming with demands of the Michigan State Boxing Commission that the bout be extended from 15 to 20 rounds. However, his stand found no favor in the Conn camp. Johnny Ray, manager of the champ, declared he positiviy would not agree to a 20~ rounder if the bout is held indoors as scheduled. “I don’t think the fight will go 15,” said Diamond. “With the prom- ise of a bout with Joe Louis, Billy and Gus are going to go after each other hammer and tongs and I think the winner will be decided Grill League game. Mays and Swanson Duel for Pole Spot In 500-Mile Race Veteran and Youngstef Have Fastest Cars At Indianapolis By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, May 18.—Rex Mays vs. Bob Swanson seemed to be the schedule today in a duel of speed for the pole position in the starting line-up for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway 500-mile race May 30. Mays, & Glendale, Calif.,, veteran who never has finished an Indian- apolis race largely because he never has found a car that would fit his heavy foot, and Swanson, a young- ster from Los Angeles, who is driving a 16-cylinder speedster, generally are agreed to have the fastest cars on the track. Most railbirds thought the speed necessary to win the pole position— inside spot in the front row—would be between 131 and 132 miles an hour. The car making the fastest qualifying speed on the opening day gets the pole regardless of the speed of cars on later days. Raul Riganti, the South American racing champion, said he would “shoot for the pole,” but most track- side observers thought his qualify- ing speed probably would be around 123 miles an hour. Others who may run today and the speed estimated for them: Wilbur Shaw of Indianapolis, 1939 winner, 128 miles an hour; Duke Nalon of Chicago, 122; Cliff Bergere of Hollywood, Calif, 127; Mauri Rose of Columbus, Ohio, 125; Harry McQuinn of Indianapolis, 126; Sam Hanks of Los Angeles, 116; Ted Horn of Los Angeles, 127; Frank Wearne of Pasadena, 124; Louis Tomei of Van Nuys, Calif., 118; | Shorty Cantlon of Detroit, 124.
