Sporting Two Records, Kiefer Emerges as Bright Star of National Tank Meet
- A--- -_
A. A. U. Checks to See
If Chicagoan Hung
Up Other Marks
Caps Brilliant Efforts
With Repeae Triumph
In 330-Yard Medley
By ROBERT MYERS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
SANTA BARBARA. Calif., July 8.
—New champions and new records
came out of the 1940 National
A. A. U. men's outdoor aquatic
championships, but the high point
man and individual star of the meet
was Adolph Kiefer of Chicago.
Kiefer chalked up 15 points to
walk away with this honor, and
left behind him new records in the
110-yard backstroke and the 330
yard individual medley. His time
for the 110-yard backstroke of
1 minute 05.5 seconds goes down as
an established record because the
A. A. U. has not used this distance
before.
Sends Officials to Record Book.
His time of 58.1 seconds for the
100 yards and his mark of 1 minute
04 7 seconds for the 100 meters,
clocked officially during the 110
yard race, still has A. A, U. officials
poring over the record book.
Yesterday Kiefer capped his coast
appearance by retaining his crown
In the 330-yard individual medley.
He turned in the remarkable time of
3 minutes 58 6 seconds and was
credited with bettering his 300-meter
American record of 4 minutes 2
eeconds.
The 330-yard distance is approxi
mately 6 feet longer than 300 meters.
Keifer's teammate, Otto Jaretz,
failed to break any records in the
110-yard free style, but turned in
a speedy 58.4 second in easily win
ning the title for the second straight
year.
Three Score Double Victories.
Jaretz, Keifer and Hiyoshi Nak
ama of Maui. Haw:ii, emerged as
the only double winners of the
meet. Nakama captured the 440
yard free style and added the 880
yard crown yesterday. Previously
Jaretz had retained his 1939 220
yard title.
The Haw-aiian seven-man team,
swimming for the Alexander House
of Maui, won team championship
honors for the second year with 41
points, with the Twoers Club and
its two stars, Jaretz and Keifer,
next at 33 points.
Earl Clark of Ohio State Uni
versity once more won the platform
diving championship without diffi
culty, scoring 124.32 points. His
nearest foe was John Riley, Los
Angeles writh 118.70.
Ferguson, Wearly Bag
Honors in Regatta
At Richmond
By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va„ July 8—Clinton
L. Ferguson of Waban, Mass., high
point amateur in United States out
board racing last year, and Paul
Wearly of Muncie, Ind„ the holder
of two national pro titles in com
petitive racing, yesterday took the
high honors in the fifth annual
Richmond regatta on the James
River.
James Mullen, 2d, gave his home
town crowd of 4.500 its biggest thrill
by capturing both heats of the Class
F Open against the bids of Ferguson
and Fred Jacoby, jr., of North
Bergen, N. J.
The fast fight for F division
honors marked the day's outboard
events, but clocked speeds ap
proached national records only in
the case of Don Whitfield, the Upper
Montclair, N. J., printing technician,
who captured both heats in the
midget class.
* Young Ferguson captured both
heats for amateurs in the outboard
Class B and C divisions, and an
nexed enough other points to run
his count for the day to an unofficial
2.425. Wearly took the four profes
sional heats in Classes A and C.
Kid Cocoa Fights Leto
Tonight as Tune-up
For Furr Battle
With Washington's second mixed
bout scheduled for Griffith Stadium
next Monday night between Kid
Cocoa of Puerto Rico and Phil Furr
of this town, the boys will reverse
the usual training procedure. The
Kid will finish his training here
while Furr works at Madame Bey's
New Jersey camp.
Yesterday Furr began his toil
there by whipping through a fast
workout with Georgie Abrams,
Washington middleweight, and Tony
Cisco and Frankie Cavanna, both
welters. Frankie Dundee is super
vising his training until Chris Dun
dee returns from New Orleans to
morrow.
Kid Cocoa is fighting tonight
against Jim Leto in Baltimore, and
after that he will come to Washing
ton and train at Turney's Arena.
The chocolate colored fighter has
won 43 straight matches over a 2
year span, but previous to that he
dropped two decisions to Leto. Now
ranked the No. 1 welterweight chal
lenger, he considers tonight’s bout
no more than a tuneup clash for
Furr and later wiht Henry Arm
strong.
AQIATIC ACES—Adolph Kiefer of Chicago just about rewrote the record books when he set
four new marks to win the 110-yard backstroke event of the National A. A. U. swimming and
diving tournament which ended yesterday at Santa Barbara, Calif. Here Kiefer (left) is shown

Gillespie Makes Hay
Awaiting Net Stars
To Start Action
Youngster Scores Three
Victories in Two Days
Of New York Tourney
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 8.—While wait
! ing for some of' the more famous
j tennis players to make their ap
pearances in the New York State
clay court championship, young Bil
ly Gillespie of Atlanta has been
picking up a bit of court fame for
himself.
Gillespie, who used to play here
about for the Scarborough School,
has added several inches to his
physical stature since then and is
threatening to increase his tennis
stature about as rapidly.
Seeded fifth, he has swept through
three matches during the last few
days, encountering trouble only in
.his third-round encounter with
Marvin Kantrowitz of Lehigh Uni
versity. He won that 8—6, 4—6, 6—4.
Now he seems headed for an en
counter with top-seeded Don Mc
Neill of Oklahoma City, whose ap
pearance here was delayed because
he was busy in the Fox River Val
ley tourney at Neenah, Wis. They
are in the same half of the draw.
McNeill whipped Gillespie, 6—3,
6—2, at Tampa early this season,
but since then Billy has beaten
such highly rated players as Ernie
Sutter, Hal Surface and Frank
Guernsey so he figures to put up
more resistance the next time.
Another late starter is second
seeded Elwood Cooke of Portland,
Ore., who was upset 6—4, 6—2, 3—6,
4—6, 6—4. by Big Frank Kovacs
of Oakland, Calif., in the final of
the Nassau Country Club grass court
tourney at Glen Cove yesterday.
Cooke was due to return to Clay
today to meet Frank Salichs while
McNeill encountered Edward Locke
of New York.
Besides Gillespie, the only player
to win three matches so far is
George Lyttleton-Rogers, the tower
ing Irish Davis Cup player. Guern
sey, the defending champion, made
his first appearance yesterday and
breezed through a 3-set victory over
Augie Millang of the Tournament
Committee.
Subpar Golf by Oliver
Fails to Stop Little
By the Associated Press.
BUFFALO. N. Y., July 8.—Husky
Lawson Little still is the Nation's
open golf champion as far as Ed
“Porky” Oliver is concerned, but
the latter still has hopes of beating
him in “consolation” match play.
Little, of Breton Woods, N. H„
eked out a one-up victory yesterday
over the Hornell (N. Y.) pro whose
disqualification in the National Open
at Cleveland broke a three-way tie
among himself, Little and Gene
Sarazen, the Connecticut squire.
Playing before 1.000 spectators
over the Park Country Club's lay
out, the pair finished a blistering 36
holes in six-under-par 138s.
Two Softy Shutouts
Two shutout games were turned
in by the Army and Navy Softball
League yesterday. District Paper

Priming by Watson, Tennis Pro,
Big Factor in John sen's Win
Over Welsh, Dad Reveals
By BILL DISMER, Jr. |
Employment all last week of Dan
Watson, tennis professional at Chevy !
Chase Club, as a means of raising
his game to top tournament form
played an important role in David
Johnsen’s great upset win over
Barney Welsh for the Middle At
lantic championship, his father,
Strand Johnsen, said today.
Secretly foreseeing a victory for
his son if he would play a forcing
game against the champ, Mr. John
sen, a keen student of the game,1
declared there was no other in the
city who could bring David's game
to the necessary pitch by playing
hard against him like Watson.
The senior Johnsen also revealed
for the first time that he had used
Watson as a coach for his son a
year ago last June during The Star's
City of Washington tournament, in
which David won his first senior
championship.
Game Generally Improved.
He did not send David to the
Chevy Chase pro during the same
tourney this year because it came
at the time of final exams at George
Washington University, where the
youngster is a student. Johnsen lost j
in the quarter-finals this year to
Dick Murphy, but avenged that set
back last week in the Middle At
lantic.
Declaring that David didn’t need '
lessons in his stroking, which veteran !
critics here are unanimous in de
claring is some of the best they ever
have seen, Mr. Johnsen said that
Watson had proven invaluable in
helping David improve his court
position, footwork and general tech
nique.
“But I knew chiefly,” said the
elder Johnsen, “that if Watson
could instill in David the neces
sity of playing hard tennis con
tinually, he could beat Welsh.” It
is a matter of history now that
Johnsen's forcing shots kept the ex
champion off balance throughout
the match and demonstrated how
the man, undefeated in local tennis
circles for eight years could be
beaten.
District Tennis Helped.
Did David think he had a chance
of beating Barney before the match?
"I don't think he thought he
could,” answered his father, thought
fully. “But I told him if he played
a forcing game and used a little
imagination and spirit, he could win.
And I promised him $10 if he did!”
Prevailing sentiment today w'as
unanimous in believing Welsh's de
feat was a good thing for Wash
ington tennis. Even Barney ad
mitted that Saturday. No longer is
the Rockville Rambler to be re
garded as unbeatable, and now' that
every ranking player knows it can i
be done, tennis should perk up to
a pitch unreached since Barney
started his domination in 1932.
Near-Perfect Score
Shot by D. C. Club
In Eastern Win
By the Associated Press.
CAMP RITCHIE, Md„ July 8 —
The Capital City Rifle Club of
Washington, D. C., closed the East

Jenkins Adds Weight
For Rugged Tussle
With Armstrong
Texas Thin Man Likely
To Scale 134 Pounds
Against Welter
By SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
FERNDALE, N. Y., July 8 —The
Texas thin man is being fattened
up—but, stranger, it’s not for the
kill.
That It to say, Lew Jenkins, who
won the lightweight championship
as little more than an overgrown
featherweight, now is growing up to
the lightweight limit. Then, to keep
the whole thing consistent, he’ll
turn right around and tackle the
welterweight bass, Henry Armstrong,
in the Polo Grounds a week from
Wednesday.
Now, don't get the idea the Sweet
water swatter, who belted Lou
Ambers out in three rounds a couple
of months back, is turning into
another Galento. You can count his
ribs with the naked eye yet, and he
still would have little trouble sliding
through a picket fence if he turned
sidewise.
Going l’p Two Pounds.
But Lew has put on several pounds
since he started his training licks up
at Grossinger's Lake for the Arm
strong affair, and Manager Hymie
Caplin tells you, with insistent ges
tures of both left and right arms,
that he'll positively be 134 or more
when he goes against the little dark
dynamo next week.
Apparently even Jenkins realizes
he needs the weight this time. You
don’t spot Li’l Perpetual Motion
poundage and hope to win. And
Jenkins was only 132 against Ambers,
and, as recently as last January,
was an even 130 in stopping Chino
Alvarez.
His shoulders seem heavier now as
he cuffs his sparmates around. He's
still doing damage with that right
hand bomb, with which he flattened
his last five opponents in seven
rounds or less—mostly less.
Will Attempt “Maneuverin’.”
The chief problem seems to be
whether Jenkins can keep Armstrong
“out of his lap’’ long enough to un
hook that particular poke. Several
other pretty fair belters have tried
it in the past and somehow, with
Hammerin’ Hank pouring in all the
time, it didn’t seem to work out.
Manager Caplin has his man con
centrating these days on left hooks
to the tummy and footwork—"ma
neuverin',” says Hymie, “is what'll
lick Armstrong: y'know, he ain’t
never seen any one, except Ambers,
who maneuvered,”

Doerer Sees Oliveri and Smith
As Public Links Qualifiers;
Peacock Wins Bold Bet
By WALTER MeCALLUM.
Handy Andy Oliveri, a broth of a
lad with golf clubs, and spindly
Leroy Smith, his chief rival for the
top spot among the municipal links
men around town, to qualify for
the national public links champion
ship.
That’s the prediction of Tommy
Doererv jr., the East Potomac Park
golf manager and local public links
representative on the United States
Golf Association committee, as the
field of 109 starters unlimber their
heavy artillery today, seeking the
eight qualifying spots assigned to
this sector. The tourney is at East
PotOmac.
Oliveri had a 72 as he wound up
his practice rounds and Smith un
iimbered a similar score. “Those
boys should win two of the spots,"
said Doerer. “For the rest it's wide
open. Had Bob Morris been playing
a lot I'd pick him as a qualifier, but
Bob hasn't been playing much lately.
He's good enough to win a place,
though.’1
The entire field was to play 36
holes today, and less than two weeks
hence the Washington qualifiers will
start for Detroit to play in the na
tional. Oliveri went to the third
round last year before dropping a
close match.
How are you going to beat a fel
low who bets a fair-sized chunk of
coin on himself to beat par by at
least three strokes in 18 holes?
That's what Roger Peacock did at
Indian Spring as Roger and Henry
G. Picard, the P. G. A. champ, won
I the playoff for the District pro
amateur championship and gath
ered a couple of medals presented
by A. S. Kay, owner of the Indian
Spring club. But they won only by
a single stroke from Cliff Spencer
and Claude Rippy, scoring a seven
under-par 65 to a 66 registered by
the second-place team.
Peacock Consistent Star.
All through the playoff (and the
regular championship tourney last
Thursday) Peacock was the hot
man. So warm was Roger that
Picard hardly had to work. Roger
I himself scored a 68. So did Rippy.
The amateurs carried the burden of
| the playoff match. But it kinda
gets a fellow down (particularly a
i duffer) when he hears that Peacock
: bet considerable coin he'd do a 69
or better, and then stepped out and
j did it.
Roger holed a transcontinental
putt across the ninth green to put
his team out in 32 whacks in that
playoff yesterday, witnessed by a
fair-sized crowd. That putt, from
behind the pin 40 feet away, en
abled them to turn with a two
stroke margin. They kept it to the
seventeenth, where they got them
selves in a bad spot. There Roger
had to hole a tricky 6-footer for a
half in 3. He rapped it in as !f it
was 6 inches long. Rippy holed a
birdie 3 on the last hole, against 4
for the victors, but it was too late.
But with any putting luck Spencer
and Rippy might be playing off
another tie today. Those lads had
a lot of close ones. Peacock and
Picard played the nines in 32 and
33, against 34 and 32 for Spencer
and Rippy.
Frizzell Holes Eagle.
Paul J. Frizzell started the. last
nine at Columbia, 3, 2, which hap
pens to be 3 under par. Paul holed
a spoon second shot on the par 4
eleventh hole. He scored 40—34—74
for the round.
Two pairs tied in a mixed four
some tourney at Wooimont, where
Mr. and Mrs. Milton Gladstein, with
48—13—35, and Mr. and Mrs. Gil
bert Hahn, with 43—8—35, dead
locked for the top prize. Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph Goldsmith won the gross
award with 42. The club handicap
championship went to Milton Har
ris, who beat A1 Goldstein, 2 and 1,
in the final.
At Congressional O. U. Singer,
chairman of the Golf Committee,
won the point tourney, for most pars
and birdies, with a total of 24 points.
George K. Brobeck was next .with
23 points. Tied for third were T. E.
Hughes, C. M. Underwood, W. A.
Trevett and C. A. Fergus.
G. H. Hill, jr.. won the breakfast
foursome individual prize with 85—
18—67. The winning foursome in
cluded R M. Eaves, Elden MacFar
land, W. W. Bayfield and G. K. Bro
beck.
Mrs. Myron Davy and Mrs. H. J.
Klossner tied in a women's pitching
and putting tourney, both scoring
eight.
Pat Martino, with 70—2—68, and
William Alexander, at 74—6—68, tied
for the top spot in the Henry
Williams Cup tourney at Capital.
Henry Bahr had 85—16—69. tied at
that figure with Buster Mrstek, who
had 75—6—69.
Kenwood held two best ball tour
neys, one on each day of the week
end. In the Saturday affair Charles
L. Vaile and Harry W. Sharpe had
67—9—58, while in the tourney yes
terday L. O. Manley and R. Cham
berlain had 82—25—57.
Feminine golfers at Washington
