Jeffra to Be ‘Fighting Champion* After Victory Over Struggling Archibald
From the
Press Box
BimmyToo Sensitive
To Track Condition
By JOHN LARDNER.
Bpeeltl Corropondcnt of The Star.
NEW YORK, May 21 (N.A.NA.).—
It is time to come clean and admit
to the police that there is no out
standing 3-year-old among those
of our four-footed buddies who are
churning the race tracks this year.
For a time Bimelech looked the
* horse. He deceived even me, and
my eye for horses, cultivated while
plowing a potato patch back in
1924, is famous wherever horsemen
gather in groups of less than two.
Up till last Saturday some of the
critics were saying that if you threw
cut the Kentucky Derby Bimelech
■till Vas a great nag. Now, how
ever, we will have to throw out not
only the Kentucky Derby but Bime
lech as well. He hasn’t got it. Not
every week, on all kinds of track,
at all kinds of distance. That calls
for a Gallant Fox or a Man o’ War,
and Bimmy, in spite of his lovable
personality and his nice white teeth,
falls short of the Fox and Big Red
by three pasterns and a dirty fet
lock. He cannot carry their bats.
Bimmy Demands Track
Of Special Blend
Bimmy, it develops, is the kind
©f horse who hauls his own track
around with him but never gets to
use it. They frisk him at the gate
and take it away. His own track
is a special blend, made to his. or
der in Havana—two parts Pimlico
In the sunshine and one part Sara
toga on a windy day.
Last week Bim reported for ac
tion at Belmont. He pulled his
track out of his pocket and spread
it out in front of the stewards.
“If you will oblige me,” he said,
“by laying this little article on top
of your own track, which strikes
me as somewhat cuppy underneath,
we will get down to business.”
The stewards picked up Bime
lech’s special track, and threw it out
the window.
“You will run on our floor and
like it,” they advised him. Well,
Bimelech ran, but he didn’t like it.
He lost the Withers mile by the
best part of two lengths to an ob
■cure charger named Corydon, who
never had even heard of himself.
Corydon was astonished to be asked
to run at all, but you have to give
him this, that he took the track
they offered without asking ques
tions and won on it, coming from
behind.
Not in Same Class
With Former Greats
Mind you Bimelech has proved
himself a good runner on the right
kind of track. He is no third-rater.
But how can you compare him with
Gallant Fox? To date Bimelech
has expressed his dislike for the
following kinds of track:
1. Sloppy.
3. Muddy.
8 Drying out.
4. Cuppy.
6. Fairly good.
6. Pretty good.
7. Good.
And even when he gets the
Ultra-fast sort of going that he
favors the clouds in the sky must
be right (nimbus, not cumulus),
and the temperature must range
between 67 and 69 degrees Fahren
heit. That allows plenty of lee
way, of course, but you don’t al
ways get 68.
I don't think he’s as good a horse
as Johnstown, last year’s early
leader, who won all the way from
6 furlongs to the mile and a half
of the Belmont Stakes in brilliant
times before he broke down. He
doesn't match Challedon, who han
dled the mud and the dust alike.
And as for Gallant Fox—well, let’s
quit kidding.
Gallant Pox Was Not
Bothered by Turf
In his 3-year-old year the Fox
of Belair won the Wood, the Preak
ness, the Derby, the Belmont, the
Dwyer, the Arlington Classic, the
Saratoga Cup, the Lawrence Real
lzation and the Jockey Club Gold
Cup. He was beaten once, in the
mud at Saratoga, by the long shot
Jim Dandy, but that didn’t mean
that the Fox was allergic to mud.
He could run all day in it, up to
his shoulders.
He didn’t run the Withers, the
mile race which licked Bimelech
last week, but the Fox did run the
Wood of a mile and 70 yards, close
enough to the Withers distance to
prove him a great sprinter as well
as a great stayer. He closed his
season by winning at 2 miles in the
Gold Cup. And that’s the gamut.
However, the true beauty of Gal
lant Fox’s record—and of Man o’
War’s and Sir Barton’s before him
and of War Admiral’s since—was
Its consistency. They asked him to
run, and he ran and won without
a look at the sky above or the
ground below. That is a trick
which Bimelech can’t seem to turn.
Aside from that Bimmy is a good
horse, and I hope he wins some
races.
Maryland Netmen Good
. Maryland's well-balanced tennis
team, which closed the campaign
with eight wins in nine dual meets,
won five shutout victories and two
other matches by 8-1 scores.

Jeffra Must Cry,
Win or Lose
Bamum was right. You cant
please all the people all of the
time and some you cant please
even part of the time. Take the
case of Harry Jeffra, who last
night outpointed Joey Archibald
for the featherweight title at Bal
timore.
Last year, after he had whipped
the same Archibald at Griffith
Stadium only to have the de
cision called against him, he bunt
out crying. He wept bitter tean
because he knew he should have
been awarded the decision.
Last night after his hand was
raised in token of victory over
the same Archibald he bunt into
tears again. He cried like a baby,
wiping his nose on his dressing
gown sleeve. It was perplexing.
"I guess I’m just happy,” he
laughed, still sobbing, back in the
dressing room.
Roosevelt and Tech
Nines Battle for
Playoff Places
Play on Foes' Diamonds
In Meeting Eastern,
Western Tomorrow
Tech and Roosevelt, both strug
gling to get into the inter-high
baseball series playoff, will meet
sturdy opposition tomorrow In their
effort to pair up with Eastern and
Central in the finals.
In the only game today Anacostia
and Wilson, both of which have
had rough sledding, were to meet
at Wilson. Anacostla will be seek
ing its first victory of the season
after four straight losses.
Present standings find Tech In
fourth place, with two won and
three lost, while Roosevelt is half
a game behind in fifth place. It is
probable that both games will be
pitching duals, each team having
at least one mound star.
Roosevelt will meet Eastern at
the Lincoln Parkers’ field and West
ern will be host to Tech. Eastern’s
only loss has been to Central, while
Western suffered its only loss to
Eastern a week ago.
Buddy Webb, who has been both
er# with a sore arm recently, will
hurl for Tech, while Carmel Nance,
one of the best hurlers in the series,
will take over the Red Raiders'
mound duties. Eddie Vermillion,
Roosevelt’s husky pitcher and slug
ger, will hurl for the Rough Riders,
with Kenny Deavers or Warren
Erhardt starting for Eastern.
In other games tomorrow Bethes
da-Chevy Chase will play Gaithers
burg at Bethesda and Washing
ton-Lee will meet Episcopal at
Alexandria.
Orioles Use Chiefs
To Get Virtual Tie
For I. L. Lead
By the Anoclated Pren.
Although they played only a sec
ondary role yesterday In sending
the Baltimore Orioles into a three
way virtual tie for the International
League lead, the plight of the Chiefs
this season must make Syracuse
fans shudder.
Hailed before the campaign started
as a team that was going to do some
slugging instead of relying upon its
pitchers for victories, the Chiefs
have made more than 13 hits in
only one game this season, and since
they no longer have last year’s
effective mound staff, they’re now
in seventh place with 14 defeats in
22 games.
Yesterday,’* setback was perhaps
a bit worse than usual. The game
was rained out after six innings,
but in that time Baltimore had
accumulated 11 runs and 10 hits,
the Chiefs had tossed in live errors
and three walks, while Orlin Collier
limited Syracuse to two singles and
three passes. The final count was
11 to 2.
The victory gave the Orioles a
record of 19 games won, the last
three straight over Syracuse, and 11
lost.
Baltimore remained in third place
behind Rochester and Jersey City
on percentages, although the three
teams were tied on a won-and-lost
basis.
20 Years Ago
In The Star
Chicago scored eight runs in
the 16th inning off Walter John
son to beat the Nats here, 13 to 6.
The Griffmen made nine errors.
Bucky Harris led the losers’ at
tack with four hits.
Rumors say that Georgetown
and George Washington will
revive their Thanksgiving Day
grid game next fall.
Ashmead Fuller, Harry Ward
man, H. A. Gillis, Walter Tucker
man and John S. Larcombe, Jr.,
are among the prominent local
golfers playing in the Chevy
Chase Club tournament.
Final Weekl
Joey's Share of Title
Taken by Harry's
2 Knockdowns
Some Soy Sccrlzo Could
Beat Both Easily far
Featherweight Crown
By LEWIS r. ATCHISON.
Harry Jeffra, a game kid who sur
vived the gravel-voioed instructions
of Trainer Heine Blauateln and the
two-fisted assault of a wounded
champion, aald today he would be
a fighting king of the 136-pounders
after punching Joey Archibald from
beneath his part of the feather
weight crown last night at Balti
more.
"I’ll fight tomorrow if they want
me to. Anybody and any place. I
can’t aay under any terms because
that’s up to my manager, Mm wax
man. But I’m going to be a fight
ing champion. They’re not going
to take the title away from me for
refusing to meet certain boys."
Archibald, his right hand swollen
and head swathed in a turkish
towel, looked up at interviewers
through tear-dimmed eyes after the
fight and said he’d take a short va
cation from the ring and then begin
all over again.
"I guess you guys are happy now,”
he grinned with ironic humor. "I
guess you’ll poke fun at me in the
papers, but that’s the game. Take
the good with the bad.’’
"Voice" Keeps Jeffra Going.
"You went out like a champion,
Joey,” one of the boys said. "You
gave him everything you had and
you were as great in defeat as
you’ve ever been in victory. You
were ‘the’ featherweight champion
tonight.”
"That knockdown decided the
fight," whispered A1 Weill, his ro
tund agent, referring to the second
round when Jeffra dumped Archi
bald twice with vicious rights to the
head. "He couldn’t untangle him
self for five or six rounds. When he
finally got going it was too late. He
won all of the last five rounds, don’t
you think?’’
How Jeffra won despite the "voice”
in his corner is a yam in itself.
When Harry sent his. crushing right
to Joey’s exposed Jaw Heine was up
on the apron of the ring yelling to
“finish ’im.” Pandemonium reigned
as Archibald, dased and bleary-eyed,
struggled to his feet, tried to grab
and hold and went down again as
Jeffra savagely loosed both hands to
the head.
narry follows instructions.
“Moider the bum,” Blausteln
screamed. “This Is your night,
Harry. Get set, take the play
away from him, move around."
These and a thousand other instruc
tions came riding on the hoarse bel
lowing of the crowd, pounding in
Jeffra's ears.
As the light increased. Blaustein’s
voice increased in volume and his
Instructions came like husky pants
to an exhausted runner. "Get set—
moider the bum—he’s a quitter, the
left hand—the right hand—outside
inside—take the play away from
him—make him come to you—lead
with the left.”
And Jeffra, obedient as a dutiful
2-year-old. heard every word. Not
only heard, but turned and nodded
to Blausteln that he understood and
would try to follow instructions. It
was like that from the second round
until the last bell. Blausteln threat
ening to blow a fuse with his belli
cose shouts and Jeffra turning to
acknowledge receipts of the instruc
tions.
Archy Lacked Punch.
Time and again Archibald tried to
slip over a damaging punch when
Jeffra had his mind on the commo
tion in his comer and his ears at
tuned to Blauestein’s yells. But
Joey simply didn’t have it. Jeffra,
secure in the knowledge he was far
ahead on points, coasted after the
tenth round, fighting fitfully and
making Archibald take all the risks.
There were some who thought
Petey Sc a Iso could take the pair in
the same ring on the same night
and knock ’em as flat as a board.
Jeffra’s plodding, methodical style
hasn’t changed since last September
when he was robbed of the title at
Griffith Stadium in his first match
with Joey.
It was a match that belonged in
Washington, although it possibly
wouldn’t have attracted the $13,000
some 4,500 fans poured into the till

Consideration
While Astor Clarke today appeared
likely to retain his No. 1 national
duckpln title for the fifth time, after
being unanimously named the Capi
tal’s top pinspiller for the sixth con
secutive year by the Washington
City Duckpln Association Ranking
Committee, the failure of such lead
ing rollers as Hokie Smith, Tony
Santinl. Ed Blakeney, Bill Krauss
and Ollle Pacini to qualify for the
city’s ranking 10 bowlers came as a
great surprise to the bowling fra
ternity.
Basing its selection on bowlers
with 135 or more league games, the
W. C. D. A. Ranking Committee last
night declared this galaxy of stars
ineligible by the lack of league com
petition. Santinl was the country’s
leading sweepstakes money winner
and Smith, his Columbia teammate,
had established a record with four
victories in the money events this
season, while Blakeney and Pacini
had compiled fine sweepstakes aver
ages. Krauss with 138 was the
fourth high average roller in the
District League.
Wolfe Is Ranked Second.
After voting Clarke eight first
places for a total of 80 points, the
Ranking Committee also was unani
mous in the selection of Perce Wolfe,
a teammate of Clarke’s on the
champion Rosslyn team.
With seven votes for third place
and one for fifth, Paul Jarman of
Chevy Chase with 81 points gained
third place, 8 points ahead of Joe
Harrison, the Arcadia star, who re
ceived one third-place vote, five for
fourth place and two for fifth.
The super-scoring and all-time
record-smashing Rosslyn quint
placed two more of its rollers in the
charmed circle as Harry Hilliard
landed fifth place with 47 points
and Karl Oochenour seventh place
with 33 points.
Joe Fresehl, the Brookland Recre
ation ace, was given 40 points for
sixth place. Arcadia got its second
roller in the ranking 10 as Lou Jen
kins took eighth place with 37
points.
Haneer, Talbert in List.
Pour bowlers received serious con
sideration for the final two positions,
with Ernie Hauser, Southeast's
young star, and Jack Talbert, the
Georgetown and Chevy Chase vet
eran, with 13 and 8 points, respec
tively, getting the nod over Howard
Parsons and Joe Di Mlsa, who pulled
up with 4 and 3 points in the vot
ing.
Although the group headed by
Santinl and Smith was ineligible for
the city’s ranking, it will in no way
impair chances for national selec
tion.

ably central location—Cleveland’s
Canterbury Golf Club—there's a
slightly unbalanced look to the field
of 1,136 hopefuls who are scheduled
to compete in the 25 sectional quali
fying rounds next Monday.
These players and the 31 who were
granted exemption from the pre
liminary test because of their per
formances In the 1939 open make up
the sixth largest Held in tournament
history. Still the list isn’t as big as
last year, or quite as big as officials
expected, and by far the greatest
part of the field Is drawn from a
few sections.
truco ini it ttncewa.
Last year 1,193 players entered
the open at Philadelphia and it was
believed that the shift westward
would encourage more players to
enter, since they wouldn’t have so
far to travel. Instead the crack
pros and amateurs of the Far West
and some other distant points ap
pear to have become less optimistic
about their chances.
The scheduled sectional rounds
at San Francisco were canceled be
cause only one entry was received
from that district, while Los Angeles
will have only 17 players shooting
for three qualifying places and six
will play at Tacoma and eight at
Salt Lake City.
Chicago has the biggest sectional
entry, 103 professionals and 48 ama
teurs; Cleveland is second with a
138 total and New York third with
100. Since the qualifying places are
allotted on the basis of* quality as
well as numbers of the entries,
Cleveland gets only 15 and Chicago
and New York 17 each. Other big
fields include Pittsburgh, 99, Phila
delphia, 82, and Detroit. 73. Ten
will qualify from each of those dis
tricts.
Dixie Well Represented.
The South and Southwest, due
partially to the notable successes of
such players as Ben Hogan and
Clayton Heafner, came up with
rather sizeable entries. Three
Southern qualifying points, Bir
mingham. Asheville, N. C., and
Jacksonville, Fla., aggregate 102
entries and 11 qualifying while a
number of other Southerner! will
be in the field of 33 et Washington,
D. C. Fort Worth, Tex., has 40 en
tries and Oklahoma City 33.
The 779 pros and 357 amateurs
who will fire their 36 holes apiece
Monday will be shooting for 139
places in the big tournament June
6-8. The main field will be limited
to 170 and the home club pro, Waldo
Crowder, and all entrants who fln-s
ished in the low 30 and ties last
year, were exempted. Of the ell-1
gibles, only Denny Shute failed to
enter.
