SPORTS., MAN WITH A REAL VOICE TO DO THE ANNOUNCING John J. Hollohan of Boston, Who Has Served in Like Capacity at Olympic Games, Will Be on Job at Convention Hall east of the Mississippi for th N and field carnival, to be held i Tomorrow Night. OT content with corralling about all of the major athletic talent e big Georgetown. University track n Convention Hall,tomorrow night, the Hilltop authorities have added to the list of celebyities who are to appear. The extra attraction is to be none other than John J. Hollohan, sports expert of the Boston Globe, foot ball official of note in New Eng- land _and announcer extraordinary at Hollohan was official announcer pretentious athletic gatherings. in English at the last three Olym- iads and at the annual intercollegiates, and is being imported by the E'Iilltoppers to assume a similar role Hollohan has a volce. Of course, almost every one has something along | that line, but Hollohan possesses a remarkable vocal power. Unalded by a megaphone, he has heralded the re- sults of events in intercollegiate meets at Harvard so that he could be heard in the topmost tier of the sta- dlum. It is a voice neither strident nor raucous, nor does the Boston crier offend delicate eardrums with harsh ! bellowings. Instead, Hollohan's volce possesses that sonorous quality that makes him | the envy of all frenzied campaigners of New England’s political hotbed. It is clear and comprehensive, yet sooth- Mg to the auditor and has won for Hallohan a nation-wide reputation as announcer. Tells Who Is Competing. Nor are Hollohan's announcements of the dry, matter-of-fact kind so | generally heard at athletic competi-| tions. The human megaphone 13 ex- ceptionally well informed as to the history of every athlete of note and | he colors his remarks with peppery | bits of Information concerning the entrants in a race. Prior to the start of an event, he takes the spectators into his confidence and discloses per- tinent facts concerning each promi- nent starter. Hollohan will have many opportuni- ties tomorrow night to tell the folk about the talent at hand. He will be able to inform them that the sprint 1ist includes Bob McAllister, formerly New York's flying cop. now a dash- ing detective, holder of the national | 100-yard champlonship; Boots Lever, Pennsylvania runner, who owns the national 60-yard title; kddie Farrell of Fordham, national sprint champlon of 1921, and Bernie Wefers, Jr., metro- politan dash champion and son of Georgetown's greatest sprinter. Vhen S. Harrison Thomson steps out to take his place for the 50-yard hurdies, Hollohan will have a chance to proclaim that the fair-haired boy | has the distinction of having won the | all-around championship of the nited States on three occasions, also that he is the one who did the punt- ing for Princeton’s eastern champlon- ship foot ball team last fall. The hometown boys will come in for theirs, too. Hollohan will tell all about’Hills, Princeton's great shot- putter; Holden, former Penn Star, and Tyree, former Central High School athlete, now representing the Naval Academy. Hollohan s éxpected to rise to his greatest oratorical heights. when Joie Ray, king of all the middle dis- tance runners, appears for the special 1,500 meter Trace. The Boston an- nouncer will have several others in that event to tell of also. It is the first time any athletic mest manage- ment ever has endeavord to improve upon announcing facilities here, and ollohan is likely to prove as in- teresting as any of those actually performing on track and fleld. ‘ With well filled squads from several ' big colleges striving for point honors, the meet should be the best ever con- ducted here. Navy, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Virginia and Georgetown will have representatives in prac- tically every one of the open and col- lege events. Schools and clubs also are to have numerous entries. The officials are well schooled in their work and everything points to a most successful affair. i = A ‘Washington Canoe Club will have a relay four in the meat that will take a deal of beating. The Red and Blue is to be represented by Jack Norton of Olympic fame: Karl Knight, one of the best quarter-milers ever devel- oped in this section; Bill Grass and Ray Harsch, one-time George Wash- ington trackman. Epiphany Athletic Association is to start a relay team in a race with Eastern and Tech high school quar- tets. Hart, Scruggs, Macdonald and Garrett will carry the Epiphany col- ors into a meet for the first time. Doc Rodgers, former Pennsylvania runner, 1s coaching the boys, at the games tomosrow night.

JORN'S FVEVISITS HATCHETITES TONIGHT George Washington University's basket ball team will end Its home schedule tonight at Central Coliseum in a game with St. John's of Annap- olls.

When your five is I lined up across the floor the chances of blocking each other off are to be considered, especially if opponents keep changing from side to side.

Between fifteen At that, a Walker-Lewis battle in London would be worth more to the British than a battle between Demp- sey and Beckett, and it's dollars to doughnuts that Mickey could make as much money out of a bout on the other side as Dempsey could. The English are a funny crowd. The sheer spectacle of watching Jack knock Beckett for a platter of ravioll would not appeal to them half so much as the prospect of seeing two welters such as Walker and Lewlis fight for a world title upon even terms. “First.” says Mickey Walker’'s man- ager, Jack Bulger, ‘“we’ll cop the Lewis fight, then we'll stow Tendler away and then Benny Leonard. After that, with some 200,000 piastres in th strong box, we'll look things over a bit.” Sounds like Bulger had been eat- ing hash heesh, but on second thought Bulger's champion, young, strong and coming, may do even more than his manager prophesies before he is through. Tendler is getting heavier and heavier, and the weight is not good. Benny Leonard is on the down- grade, as his opening fight of 1823 with Saflor Friedman will show.
