SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.. TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1921. SPORTS. 19 SPALLA IS UNDEFEATED IN BATTLES IN EUROPE BY FAIRPLAY. EW YORK, March 29—Ermi N nio Spalla, it was learned today, is now on the broad Atlantic, and will arrive in this city this week. Erminio is not a grand opera sgar, nor king of the hurdy-gurdy trust, nor inventor of a new brand of self-starting spaghetti; he is heavyweight champion of Italy—and then some. Nick Kline, the Newark impresario, is going to take Spalla under his wing and shoot him along through the ranks of ambitious heavies. While Carpentier is arranging to come to this country in May, Spalla will be here fighting, and it may turn out that he will steal a lot of Georges' stuff. They say that Spalla can hit and knows how to keep his jaw clean. But Kline admits that he has some rough points that need to be smoothed off.” This will be dome in the course of & series of bouts designed to be of graduated severit Never Has Been Beaten. Those who keep in touch with Euro- pean boxing have heard of Spalla. He has done much fighting in France and has cleaned up a lot of frog eaters, including_Barick, Gasparinette, Esta- rac and Miles Laporte. In Paris he whipped Van Den Eynels, the Belgian champion, in two rounds. He has beaten Bridge, an Australian fighter, and_ Billy McCloskey, an American. To date Spalla has never been beaten. Flyweight Championship. If the present movement to develop some flyweight youngsters in this country progresses, as now seems Hkely, Jimmy Wilde, the British fly- welght king, will not be obliged to give away twelve or more pounds ‘when he appears in his next interna- tional bout. There seems no doubt that Johnny Buff, who meets Abe Goldstein in this city Thursday night, is entitled to the American title. Prankie Mason claimed to hold the title when the two met at New Or- leans recently, and Buff won the bat- tle. At thetime the little Jersey man weighed 112 pounds flat, while Mason ‘weighed about 108 pounds. Louisiana has defined 110 pounds as the fly- welght limit, but practically every other state boxing commission in the Union, together with the Australian and European bodies, set the limit at 113 pounds. So 112 pounds it is. Lesmard Is O. K. Aganin. Benny Leonard blew into town to- day from Lakewood. where he has been convalesoing from his attack of filu. Leonard looks well and appar- ehtly has lost little or no weight. Buffalo fight fans who think that Rocky Kansas can beat the world in his class will heye a chance to look Benny over on April 5, when he meets Frankie Schoell at Queensbury A. C, in the Lake Erie city. Herman Is After Lymeh. Pete Herman is making s brave ef- fort to show that he is entitled to a return match with Joe Lynch for the bantamweight titla When he held the championship he kept his punch in a bag and we thought he had none. But in his 1ast two fights since losing the champlonship he has won by knook outs over Jimmy Wilde and Georgle Adams. His next effort to prove that he can hit will be made tomorrow night at the Pioneer Sport- ing Club, when Willie Spencer, an ambitious young bantam, will offer up his jaw—maybe. O’Dowd-Wilsem Comtroversy. The New York boxing commission is likely to be moved by the out- cry against'Johnny Wilson. This may not be because the commission does not sympathize with Mike ODowd, but because the referee and the at the fight awarded the ver- ‘Wilson, most of the the - ges diot to SN TR T0 N NEW YORK, March 29.—A new offer for the Dempsey-Carpentier heavy- it championship has been made ter Tex Richard.

Howard Voshell, twice holder of the title, and J. L. Werner, captain of the Princeton tennis team. Voshell won the first set of the second round match, 8-6.

Y., March 29.—The Saunders of Toronto shot into first place of the five-man event in the American bowling congress tenpin tournament, with a grand total of 3,066 pins. This is thirty pins under the world record score, established by the Brucks, No. 1, of Chicago in the tournament at Peoria last year. The Saunders won their mark through counts of 977, 1,040 and 1,049, four of the five rollers showing sets over the 600. H. Gillis, scoring 244 in his third game and a 643 total for the sét, was the star performer. CENTRAL’S ERRATIC PLAY LETS VIRGINIA CUBS WIN WAYNESBORO, Va., March 29.—Cen- tral High School of Washington, here today for a game with the Fishburne Military Academy nine, hopes to score its first victory in its Easter holiday series. The Washingtonians opened their tour yesterday against the Virginia freshmen at Charlottesville and suffered an 8-to-4 defeat. Central outhit the Virginians, ten to nine, but marred their game with er- ratic fielding. Walker, on the mound for thé losers, was opposed by Stevens and Holland. Lemon, Central first base- man, and Russell, former Centralite catc'?lns for the Virginians, did the best work. Coach O'Reilly probably will send Reynolds against the Purple, although Bissonet, the Hilltoppers’ new left- hander, may be a last-minute selec- tion for pitching duty. Holy Cross is likely to depend upon its mound ace Horan. Georgetown will have to be more careful of its moundsmen than the Purple, for the locals will meet a_worthy foe tomorrow in Ver- mont, while Holy Cross will go into little more than a practice game at Gallaudet. Mark Jackson, captain of the Cath- olic University nine, outpitched Vic Keene, Maryland leader. He yielded seven hits, gave two bases on balls and fanned ten against Keene's rec- ord of ten safeties, three passes and seven strike-outs. In several innings the Maryanders got their first batter on the paths, but Jackson prevented scoring. A high wind that bothered the field- ers let the Brooklanders get away to an early lead and clean hitting gave them three tallies in the seventh. Maryland batted its way to a rum in the fifth, but lost several other scor- ing chances through stupid base run- ning and coaching. Keene, with a tripie and double,” was the batting star. Georgetown bunched four of itsefive hits in two innings to take the mesas- ure of the Penn nine. Triples by Hy- man and Murman, with Kenyon's sin- gle sandwiched, yielded by Sheffield. netted two runs in the second, and Sheedy’s single after Shuster had walked two batters brought another pair of markers in the eighth. The Blue and Gray had no other scoring chances. A double and single off Hy- man and the pitcher's error let Penn cross the plate {n the seventh. Both teams did some fast flelding, all but one of the five errors being overthrows. Dudack contributed the flelding feature in the sixth inmin; when he intercepted Shriver’s appa- rently certain hit to right fleld ana threw out the runner at first base. R Yankee Midgets wielded the white- wash brush in their game with the Howard Midgets, winning 9 to 0. —_— Stanton Athletic Clab is booking contests.
