Roach Is 5-8 Favorite
Tonight Over Perry,
Trying Comeback
Aaron Perry’, Washington middle
weight, show* the home folk to
night whether he's got a chance to
make a success of his comeback at
tempt. He fights Lavem Roach, a
promising youngster who's being
hailed as a threat to top-ranking
380-pounders, in the 10-round main
event match at Griffith Stadium.
Several years ago the big-shoul
dered, hard-hitting Perry appeared
to have a bright future in store.
But somewhere along the line he
sizzled out and hasn’t done much of
anything recently. He's only 23
years old and still has a chance to
make a success of a fight career if
he can regain his early form. Ap
parently he’s sincere in wanting to
do so and for the last several months
he has been a regular worker
around the gym.
Perry has split in two fights this
year and enough of his old fans
like his chances tonight to hold
down the odds by which Roach
normally would be heavily favored.
The ex-Marine is a 5-8 choice for
tonight, but a year ago he would
have been 1-3 or better. He’s beaten
such as Billy Arnold, Norman Rubio
and Herbie Kronowitz and dropped
a close one to Marcel Cerdan.
One change has been made in the
supporting card of three 10-round
ers. Leo Stolls of Baltimore has
been substituted for Jackie Lyons
as opponent for Heavyweight Jackie
Cranford. Lyons reports an in
jured ankle. Other 10-heaters are
jimmy Cooper against Joe Kay,
feathers, and Ken Stribling against
Randy Brown, middleweight*. Coo
per and Stribling are seeking to
reverse earlier wins by tonight's
opponents.

SARANAC LAKE, N. Y„ July li.—
Fishing between storms at camp
here, we have managed to catch
a tew. But late one afternoon when
the bottom dropped out Of the
barometer, the temperature dropped
and a terrific hailstorm that hit
to kfcop every one huddled around
the camp stove. The storm blew
out during the night and next
morning at 6:30 it was 49 degrees on
the tent porch. Later it was fair
with a steadily rising barometer and
promise of more good weather.
The big fish of the trip was lost
this morning and your scribe helped
do it. A companion hooked into a
wliopper of a pike and played it in
masterly fashion, but when he got
it up to the boat, our landing net
was too small. We made the at
tempt with the net, but it broke
under the weight of the fish. Our
only alternative was to try to ease
him over the side, but the hooks
would not stand the strain and he
broke loose and slowly swam into
the depths of the lake.
Gene Bjorkman, formerly of
Washington and now here repairing
his health, is coming up to fish with
us this afternoon. Gene's many
friends will be glad to know he
again is" in fine condition. Steaks
are in the ice box, also bass filets
aplenty with all the trimmings.
Should be a large evening.

Barnett Claims Winning Score
In Md. Open Will Be Over Par
ly Merrell WhitHtsey
Montgomery County police will
be asked not to disturb golfers using
Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenues
for teeing grounds' tomorrow for the
avenues bordering Chevy Chase
Club may be part of the "extreme
back tees" that will be used for the
28th annual Maryland Open cham
pionship.
Host Pro Bob Barnett stands firm
that no player in the starting field
of 125 will equal par of 69-69—138
over the 36-hole route, although he
is in the minority in his conviction.
"We’re going to show them some
back tees tomorrow,” Barnett said,
and he winced as he said it as Bob
is not the world’s longest hitter.
However, Chevy Chase is wide open
and there is plenty of room for the
long hitters to spray shots and still
get pars and birdies. The greens
probably will be fast, but they are
true to the point the boys merely
have to keep the ball on line to
knock in a few 40-footers—not play
too many twists and rolls.
The tournament is without an
outstanding favorite, although it
includes most of the outstanding
pros and amateurs of Maryland,
Virginia and the District. Most of
the field turned up for a practice
round today as Chevy Chase seldom
is a tournament site and the course
is not too familiar to most of the
players.
The Maryland State women's golf
championship that was underway
with a qualifying round today at
Five Farms virtually was a dupli
cation of the Baltimore City wom
en’s championship that was com
pleted two weeks ago. Of the 40
players, 36 are from Baltimore.
Mrs. Maurice Giick, defending
champion who has a 2-year un
broken streak of victories in sectional
tournaments, was favorite with
Washington’s Mrs. Walter R. Stokes,
a former champion, and Mrs. L. G.
Pray among the challengers. One of
Mrs. Glick’s last defeats was at the
hands of Mrs. ?ray in the Middle
Atlantic three years ago.
A1 Treder has been added to the
teaching staff at East Potomac
Golf Club, Manager Gibraski an
nounced yesterday. Treder long has
been a competent Instructor at local
clubs and when pro at Manor
turned out a number of this sec
tion’s top young players.
The increasingly popular team
match of a city’s golf professionals
meeting the top amateurs spread
to Baltimore yesterday where the
pros defeated the amateurs, 19-5.

The attendance at the new Port

golfers complaining that officials of
the public links must have been
keeping the course opening a secret.
Most of the players who turned out
were extremely pleased with it, how

The United States Golf Associa
tion today closed the entries for its
first Junior tournament after ex
tending the deadline four days. Of
ficials of the local golf association
who worked with the USGA in so
liciting entries were critical of tfie
methods used.
They felt that boys 17 and under
were too young and inexperienced
to be forced to dig up entry blanks,
fill them out, pay a $3 entry, get the
entries in on deadline, etc., instead
of allowing them to send the en
tries to a local representative who
would forward them to the USGA.

Kansas at Sea
On Ultimatum
■y th* Auociotad 8raaa
KANSAS CITY, July 18.—The
answer to what the University of
Kansas will do about the Big Seven
Conference’s ultimatum to fall in
line with the league's eligibility
rules appeared to be somewhere in
the Pacific today.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, who
10 days ago defied the conference’s
interpretation of an eligibility rule
that made five Kansas transfer stu
dents ineligible for further com
petition, was reported on a two
week Pacific cruise with the uni
versity's Naval ROTC unit.
In a special session here Saturday,
the Big Seven ordered its members
to cancel all games with Kansas
unless the dissenting member no
tifies the association of its inten
tion “to abide by the rules.”
The deadline for Kansas to get
in line was set for July 24. The
faculty representatives approved
the threatened ban on Kansas by
a 5-to-l vote. Kansas State, which
voted with Kansas when the rule
was interpreted at Lincoln, Nebr.,
May 21, did not vote Saturday.
University of Kansas officials
were noncommittal today. Ray
mond Nichols, executive secretary
to the chancellor, said he had con
tacted Malott and the university
head had "no further comment at
this time.”
