Tomorrow Night
Northside Club Will Stage Initial
Outdoor Bout* at Bacha
rach Athletic Park
With some of the best boxers
in the East sporting their wares,
the Northside Boxing Club will
stage tomorrow night its first
1924 open air pugilistic show at
the Bacharach Athletic Park, Cas
pian and Tennessee Avenues.
Lou Bogash clashes with Eddie
(Six) Clark in the speedy wind
up of the entire show. Both boys
are clever mit artists and are
slated to provide each other with
punches galore, at the same time
giving the large army of resort
fans a run for their money.
Bogash hails from Bridgeport,
Conn., while Clark is an Atlantic
City fighter. The former has
boxed three champions and some
of the best middleweights in the
country, including Harry Greb,
Gene Tunney, Jack Britton and
Tommy Loughrin, over whom he
has a victory. Clark appears as
one of the best middleweights seen
here in a decade, having kayoed
Frankie Britton—he claims he’ll
do the same to Bogash and has
diligently trained for such. Lew
Tendler has been putting Clark in
trim for this bout and claims the
local youth is one of the flashiest
punchers he has seen.
Referee Harry Ertle will also
officiate in the following bouts:
A1 Brennan, A. A. U. champ of
Pittesburgh, versus Joe Koons, of
Kensington; Johnny DeMarco, At
lantic City, versus Billy Williams,
who have boxed one of the best
sessions ever seen here; Mike
Shultz versus Joe Bush, both of
the Quaker City—Schultz will be
remembered by his last bout with
Tommy West when he put up a
splendid showing, while Bush has
clashed with Carl Nagle, here, and
looks the goods; Young Harry
Wills, of Atlantic City, will mix
it up with K. O. Leonard, of Phila
delphia, in the third fight of the
evening. Wills has all the ear
marks of being one of the best
colored middleweights turned out
by the shore but in Leonard he
meets a boy who is well known
here for his knowledge of the
squared ring sport, having boxed
Billy Pimpus on two occasions.
ENROUTE HOME
Guest—“Listen, Bill—I don’t
like to go in on you this way—are
you sure your wife knows I’m com
ing?”
Host—“Does she? — Say — she
argued about it for an hour this
morning.”
Essington Event

Many Event* Planned by Local
Yacht Club for Fourth of
July Celebration
Yachting activities took on a
much more legitimate aspect in
the vicinity of Absecon Island on
Saturday when sixteen cruisers
participated in the sixteenth an
nual ocean race held under the
auspices of the Yaohtmen’s Club
of Philadelphia.
Leaving Essington on the Dela
ware River and finishing actually
at the Atlantic City Yacht Club,
the crafts continued up to the Lu
Lu Yacht Club in Venice Park
where a royal welcome and recep

and local skippers and their
parties.
Flying the colors of the Phila
delphia Yacht Club, the Heanne
II, Wayne Barker’s express
cruiser, won first honors estab
lishing a new record for the 120
nautical miles event making the
time in nine hours, three minutes
and forty-five seconds.
Commodore Herbert Jolley, of
the Lu Lu Club, and H. G.
Gardiner, chairman of the com
mittee of the Yachtmen’s Club,
acted as official time keepers, while
other members of both the Lu Lu
and the Philadelphia Club served
on the various committees that
staged the race and the following
social events.
Now that yachting has actually
started, the sport calendar is fast
becoming crowded with the sched
uled events. Over at the Atlantic
City Yacht Club on the Fourth
of July, Friday, a big and gala
day has been planned with one
design and runabout races to be
staged in the morning with fire
works in the day and evening and
a dance at night to end activities.

Nimrods Favor

Trapshooting is rapidly gaining
favor as another of Atlantic City’s
sport attractions and nimrods are
noticed almost daily trying their

Spectators at Atlantic. Park Last Evening—Grounds
in Fine Shape for Sixty-Day Run
By Anard W. Littman
Atlantic City’s greyhound rac
| ing season got off to a successful
start last evening on the Atlantic
Park Dog Track, where hundreds
of shore residents and visitors
gathered to mark the opening of
the 1924 races.
Under the auspices of the Grey
hound Racing Association, the
entire park was fitted to perfec
tion and the prospects look good
for a successful season. The
enterprising management has
spared no expense to put the
grounds in proper condition for
dog racing.
The bunny, a mechanical one,
supplied the incentive for the
dogs and raced about ten yards
ahead of its nearest “competitor”
around the 400 yards, distance of
the track. This “creature” is now
so fixed as to be in perfect trim
for its 'strenuous season. Many
times in the past the rabbit would
suddenly stop—then to be chewed
to bits by the dogs. But not so
last evening, the bunny was me
chanically perfect in every detail
and will no longer afford any in
convenience by its old tactics.
All Details in Fine Order
There was not an unruly cog
in the entire performance of the
night. The Greyhound Racing
Association had every detail, large
or small, in fine working order.
All there was left for the specta
tor was to thrill at the racing dogs,
which, by the way, provided as
much enjoyment as their bigger
brothers, horses..
Such dogs as Handsome Al,
Handsome Bob, Collards, Gaetha
May, Mysterious Stranger and
other champions appeared before
the crowd of racing fans in flashy
form.
So splendidly was the season be
gun that it is a certainty the sea
son of dogs this year will be one
of the most successful known on
any dog track in the country.
LOOKING UP
By A Mainland Duffer
Holiday and golf are practically
synonomous and the Independence
Day atmosphere that is noisily
breaking its way upon the resort
and vicinity finds golf and special
tournament events scheduled to
meet the occasion at the local
courses.
Seaview, Linwood and North
field are all preparing for the big
gest rush of the season over the
Fourth, which incidentally meets
ideal resort requirements by join
ing us with a week-end party this
year falling on Friday, and the
influx is more than noticeable at
present.
As a forerunner of the event
scheduled at Linwood for the 4th
of July, a special Business Men’s
tournament was staged on the
Linwood course last Saturday.
Parking space was well filled at
all courses and a representative
crowd of the business men’s fra
ternity competed for first honors
in the Linwood tournament held on
Saturday. Prizes for winners and
runners up were awarded.
* * *
Friday, Independence Day, will
find a Mixed Foursome Flag Tour
nament on tap over at Linwood.
The Ladies have been invited to
signify their independence on the
gala day by sending in as many
entries as possible and bringing
their own handicap or being
paired with some strange gentle
man.
Tennis Tournament

Raleigh Senior and Junior
Racquet Event*
- »
Invitation tournament tennis
play started for the Camp Raleigh
tennis cup recently on the courts
of Derby Hall, the Ventnor City
summer school and playground.
The events were finished yester
day in time for the boys to leave
for the New England camp.
In the first round of the senior
tournament, a match between
Scott Long and Jimmy Alcorn,
former A. C. H. S. tennis players,
Alcorn took the first set 6-4 and
Long squared things by copping
the second 6-3, while the third set
found both boys showing excellent
form.
Bob Celia defaulted to Ned
Lippincott who met Gene Long,
the latter having drawn a bye,
while another interesting feature
of the program was found in the
match between Jack Luse and
Sloan Stewart, two college crack
players.
In'the Junior events, Penn En
dicott defeated Edward Doughty,
while Ben Moore triumphed over
Mathis Bloodgood with Clayton
Alcorn winning from Leon
Doughty.

“Two Men Who Are Making Things
Hum at Linwood” is the title of this
picture. Lou Goldman is Managing
Director who is making all ^the
changes while we also offer the first
picture published locally of the new
Pro, Ramsay Hunter.
Introducing “Pebble*,” Joseph Snel
lenburg's pet pup. We had a hard
time getting this pose, so much so,
that the cameraman is holding the
leash, Lou Goldman attracting the
dog's attention, and the owner himself
taking the picture.
mmmm
mmm
Try as we would, we Just couldn't
get Ramsay Into the picture and con
cluded that he’s modest. Joe Snel
lenburg, center, is a prominent figure
on the Unwood course who manages
the interests of the Virginia Theatre
when he is not playing golf.
m
"Pebble*” is here again. Mr. Snel
lenburg was afraid that tha first pic
ture might be a failure because the
cameraman was at the other end of
the chain, so we tried it again with
excellent results with the master In
the background.
Looking around for other celebritlaa
wo discovered that the high tragedian
of tong wields, beside a wicked
phone, a wicked golf club. Ted Lewis

Riti, finds time to improve his game
on tha Linwood links.

Having one more picture left and see
ing no more celebrities or dogs float
•n* *round the course, we waxed
artistic and took a close-up of the
entrance of the beautiful Linwood
Club House and then broke the speed
laws until we hit Albany Avenue.
