o SPORTS v - oimansriioniiiiie THE EV Stars Fill New York A. C. Meet : Washington and Lee Has Great Five Olympic BARBUTI AND BALL - WILL CLASH IN 50 Great Holland Race Rivals in Fine Field Tonight. Wildermuth Runs. By the Associated Press EW YORK, February 18.—A score or so of the Olympic | £ track and field stars, who burn- | ed up the cinders in Holland | seven months ago will be on | hand for the annual games of the New | York A. C. at Madison Square Garden | tonight. - | Interest centers in the Buermeyer 500 | yards special, in which Ray Barbuti| and Jimmy Ball are to take up their | duel where they left off at Amsterdam. | On that occasion Barbuti, husl er developed at Syracuse Univ now competing for the New York A. C., beat Ball, the Canadian, by inches to | capture the Olympic 400-meter cham- | plonship, the only flat race won by a | United States athlete. Neither Barbuti nor Ball is an out- standing favorite to win tonight. Ball, unaccustomed to indoor running and a | bit baffled when it comes to taking the banked turns, hardly figures to be a factor in a race where he must meet not only Barbuti, but Joe Tierney, world record holder at 500 yards; Bernie Mc- Cafferty, the Holy Cross freshman flash, and Frank Cuhel, the Iowa quarter- miler and hurdler. Barbuti enters the race without any competition behind him this season. He has run a few exhibitions, but that is all. If he is in condition, of course, he will be the man the others must beat. Can Get Trophy Outright. | Tierney, the temperamental, won the | Buermeyer Trophy in 1924 and again | last year and can capture it outright if he leads home the field tonight. He has not started in a scratch race this | season, confining his efforts to running the anchor leg for New York A. C. re- fay teams. Percy Williams, the Vancouver flyer, ‘15 entered in a 60-yard special against such stars as Wildermuth, Quinn, Daley, Pappas, Elder and Hussey. The Olympic double-sprint champion, never beaten in his running career, apparently is in top form. He broke the world record Sor 60 meters in Brooklyn Saturday night, flashing past the tape in 645 seconds. Paavo Nurmi, an outstanding figure In several Olympiads, including the last is entered in a two-mile event. It was in a similar race at the New York A. C. games in 1925 that the famed Finn set his astounding mark of 8:58%%, the first and only time two miles was run under nine minutes. Leo Lermond, Boston A. A. star who placed in the Olympic 5,000 meters. is idown to start in the Baxter mile; Fred Veit, Sam Martin and Pinkie Sober in ithe Brefney half-mile; Fred Sturdy of ‘Yale, Barney Berlinger of Pennsyl- vania, and Vic Pickard of Pittsburgh, 'in the pole vault. HYATTSVILLE HIGH'S NINE TO BE STRONG HYATTSVILLE, Md,, February 18— Lloyd Coates has been re-elected man- mger of the Hyattsville High School base ball team and Simon Lebowitz has been chosen assistant manager. Preparation for the season will begin March 1 with the prospect that a good nine will be developed. A flock of sea- soned players is at hand along with keveral promising newcomers. Leland G. ‘Worthington, athletic director of the #chool, will coach. Hyattsville is planning a determined bid for the country championship which iast season was won by Upper Marl- ro. The latter went on to win the gz;u tournament conducted under the auspices of thle lshyxround Athletic ‘League of Maryland. Manager Coates now 1s booking games for Hyattsville with school earns in and around Washington. He lans to play twice & week until the Eeunty series starts.

Compgl‘:y F Regulars took the meas- ure of Phantom A. C. of Washington, 24 to 13, yesterday afternoon in the armory. The Soldiers led, 13 to 8, at .the half. Wilbur Wright led the win- mers’ attack, with 13 points. | i Four successive goals from scrimmage | by Bob Lyles in the last three minutes paved the way for Dixie Pig's 20-24 vic- | tory over Brentwood Hawks in the first | game of a series of three for the Prince Georges County League championship gesterday in the armory here.

The second game of the play-off geries will be in the National Guard Armory at Laurel next Sunday after-; Toon. | ; Led by Johnny Wanley, who scored A2 points, Hawks led from the outset to the last three minutes.

If They Trim Boatmen Tonight Y defeating Potomac Boat Club basketers tonight on the Central High School floor, United Type- writer Grays can just about settle all disputes as to the prob- able title winner in the Community Center League. The Grays have not lost a game in this league and the Boatmen ‘seem to be their chief rival. Another victory over Potomacs will al- most assure the Grays of the champlion- ship. Community Center League's cham- lonship is not the big aim of the rays, however. They are out to gain the District independent and South Atlantic- A. A. U. unlimited crowns. In an early season engagement, the Grays got a well earned decision over the Skinker Eagles, for the past few seasons rated the cream of local unlimited teams. Manager Fones of the Grays is anxious to meet the Jewish Community Center unlimiteds in a home-and-home series. His quint has a gym for Thurs- day night and would like to hear from the Jewish C. C. pilot at Decatur 3660. March 5 is the date selected for the second Skinker Eagle-United Typewriter Grays engagement in Congress Heights gym. Baltimore’s crack Y. M. C. A. five will be seen in the local Y gym Thursday night as the second game of an intér- city series between the Y unlimited teams gets under way at 8 o'clock. The visitors will hold the advantage, having downed the local team in decisive man- ner at Baltimore several weeks ago. National Press Building Cards have decided to cancel the game listed with Klondykes for Wednesday night. The Cards will drill at 7 o'clock in Central gym instead. Both the Y. M. C. A. 100 and 155 pound Aztec quints are seek rivals. Manager Ferneyhough will arrange games at West 1230. Army Medico cagers would like a foe for tonight in their home gym. Any unlimited team may make arrangements at Georgia 1000, Branch 190. California’s Block Play Is Different BY SOL METZGER. Out-of-bounds plays in basket ball, practically all based on legal blocking, are one of the most inter- esting phases of the sport. Coach “Nibs” Price, of the Golden Bears of California, who led the Pacific Coast colleges with almost monotonous reg- ularity, has a pet one which is so radically differcnt from the usual biock variety that it catches most opponents napping and leads to di- Tect scores, No. 3 has the ball out of bounds on the right sideline near the bas- ket. Naturally, as Nos. 1 and 2 line up in the court as shown, their re- spective opponents, A and C, place themselves belween them and the basket they are guarding. As No. 3 bluffs to pass, No. 1 drives in to block B, who is guarding No. 3. A follows No. 1 and automatically is 1‘;“3“‘ to help him in the blocking of B. Simultaneously, No. 2 makes a bluft to rush for the basket, but turns sharply, as C, his opponent, starts with him, and cuts for the sideline, and No. 3, taking a bounce pass from the latter. C, No. 2's ‘op- ponent, is out of the picture. As No. 2 gets the ball he makes high pass to No. 3, who broke for the basket as soon as he passed to No. 2. He dribbles and shoots. (Capsright 19200 e s Basket Title Skinker Eagles had expected a gruel- ing battle yesterday in Congress Heights’ gym, but Gulf Refining Co. five of York, Pa,, proved an easy victim, 52 to 18. P(fi?er, Sweeney and Bennie scored at will, Tommy Dalglish’s accuracy in plercing the hoop for seven goals enabled Knights of Columbus tossers to gain a well earned decision of Oakley A. C. of Balti- tn‘;o;e’ in Casey gym here yesterday, 33 Jewish Community Center teams made a clean sweep of engagements yesterday. ‘The unlimiteds got a 46 to 45 win over Richmond Y. M. H. A.; the Whirlwinds trounced St. Martin's five, 59 to 19, and the Flashes downed Richmond Whirl- winds, 42 to 30. The Arrows also won from Jewish Educational Alliance court men, 24 to 19. French A. C. cagers, who yesterday downed National Circles, 33 to 11, are to meet W. H. West quint tomorrow night in Central High gym at 9 o’clock. E. Seanlon and Chapple starred for their respective teams yesterday, when Stantons bagged a 25.t0-21 decision over Passaics at Silver Spring. Making their bow in local circles yes- terday, the Rialtos downed the Hebrew scholastic tossers, 36 to 27. Abe Povich led the winners in scoring. The Rialtos engage the American Expressmen in ‘Terminal Y gym tonight at 8 o’clock. Agers and Smith led St. Thomas scorers in downing St. John's five yes- terday in Casey gym. Led by Taylor, Woodside A. C. quint won over Blair Reds at Silver Spring yesterday, 22 to 16. Harris and Hessler were largely re- sponsible for the 20-to-14 victory gain- ed by the Stewart Brothers quint over the De Luxe courtmen yesterday at Sil- ver Spring. St. Peter’s five, which trounced St. Martin’s yesterday, 40 to 32, will engage Army Medicos at Walter Reed Wednes- day night at 8:30 o'clock. R. Hager and Keefer, starred last night as St. Martin's Cardinals defeated Hartfords, 39 to 30. KENNEDY OF G. U. NOW IS INELIGIBLE TO RUN Jimmy Kennedy, Georgetown'’s stellar freshman runner, will not be permitted to again compete until he is able to wipe from his scholastic record condi- tions which resulted from failures in mid-year examinations. Kennedy was to have competed in the Baxter mile run, high spot of the New York A. C. games tonight in Gotham. TIES MARK NINTH TIME, SOUTH BEND, Ind., Pebruary 18 (#). —Capt. Jack Elder of Notre Dame’s track team is still chasing after a new | world’s record in the 60-yard dash. | Elder equaled the mark for the ninth time in his college career in a dual meet | Saturday night. BUSY WEEK AHEAD OF WY ATHLETES Clash With G. U. Wednesday Next to Be Last Basket Game of Year.

The feature events of the meet will be the series of mile relays which are to close the series of com- petitions. ST. JOHN'S TO PLAY GEORGE MASON FIVE St. John's will entertain George Ma- son High quint of Alexandria tonight and in a preliminary 115-pound teams of St. John's and Gonzaga will face, starting at 7:30 o'clock. Gonzaga was to visit Brookland this afternoon to engage Catholic University Freshmen basketers. Two basket ball games involving schoolboy quints of the District group are carded tomorrow. ‘Western will entertain Georgetown Prep in the afternocon and Benjamin Franklin University will play host to Old Dominion Boat Club of Alexandria on the Langley Junior High floor at 8 pm. Western will be striving to even scores for a 45-28 defeat handed it recently by Georgetown Prep. Jim Munro, former Eastern fot ball and base ball luminary, left today for ‘Tampa for a visit with relatives. While there he hopes to work out with the ‘Washington base ball squad with a view to receiving a trial with the Griffs or with a club by which he might be placed by the Nationals. Munro can catch and play the outfield. ing away from Annapolis, there will be 13 matches at the Academy. This program, probably unrivaled in number and variety of events, is made up of six varsity and seven plebe matches, in eight different branches of athletics. The wrestling team is the one repre- sentative of the Navy which will leave Annapolis on Saturday. It goes to Morgantown for a match with West Virginia. ‘The boxing match, the only attrac- tion for Saturday evening, is against Western Maryland, a team which has had many matches this season and acquitted itself well.. Other varsity events include swim- ming against Pittsburgh, fencing against | New York Athletic Club, gymnastics against Temple and an indoor rifle match against Virginia Poly. ‘The schedule of the plebe, or fresh- man, teams is by far the largest and most varied of the season, and in sev- eral branches they will have their final match. The list includes boxing, Bellefonte Academy; wrestling, swimming and water polo, Franklin and Marshall Academy; indoor rifle, freshmen of Massachusetts Tech; fencing, Princeton freshmen. During March the number of varsity contests taper off rapidly, though many of the most important matches. are booked for that month. Also during March Navy teams par- ticipate in the finals of several of the intercollegiate associations connected with the different Winter sports.

Northwestern “Giant Killers” Would Slay Wisconsin Quint By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, February 18—North- | western's Wildcats, who have suddenly turned into giant kill- ers, carry on with their maraud- ing tonight by attempting to claw the Big Ten basket ball champion- ship label off Wisconsin's mighty ma- chine. The game, which promises to be one of the liveliest in the entire campaign, ranks first in importance on the five- game card tonight as the Wildcats are conceded a good chance of toppling the Badgers from their tie for first place with Michigan. Michigan, which was jarred from its undisputed lead in the championship chase by Northwestern a week ago, in- vades Illinois in another important bat- tle tonight, but is not expected to meet with nearly as much trouble as Wis- | p, consin. diana and Purdue tangle in another all-Hoosier cage classic at Lafayette, Jowa invades Minnesota and Ohio State atlemp t to hand Chicago its ninth | Chicaso straight sctback in the other contests tonight. With Capt. Hal Gleichmann as its main battering ram, Northwestern cre- ated a sensation and scrambled the championship race last week by de- feating Michigan and Purdue. Team and individual scoring honors apparently have been clinched by Pur- due and its elongated ace, Charles (Stretch) Murphy. Averaging 38 points a game in their seven conference contests, the Boiler- makers are far ahead with a total of 266 points, while Murphy has bagged 30 field goals and 28 free throws for 88. Their closest rivals are Northwestern with 223 points and Jimmy Strickland of Indiana with 69. STANDING OF TEAMS. F. ] SOCCER TITLE GOES - T0 CLAN MACLENNAN Clan MacLennan won the Washing- ton Soccer League title yesterday, de- feating Concord Club, 3 to 1, on the Bladensburg road fleld, and Arcadians triumphed over Rockville, 3 to 0, at Sil- ver Spring, to create a tie between these teams for the Capital City League lead. Clan MacLennan is the first team other than Walford, which has disband- ed, to win the Washington League crown. Arcadians and Rockville prob- ably will meet again next Sunday at Silver Spring in a play-off game to decide the Washington League cham- | ohizd Floor plonship: P It was only by a single point that Clan MacLennan won the title. It scored 10 points against 9 each for Con- cord and British United, which finished in a tie for second. These three teams waged & bitter battle for supremacy all season. Johnny Malloch was the Clan's star yesterday. He scored two goals and Eig! played well generally. Earl and Tom Clark and Parker were | £°! outstanding figures in_Arcadians’ vic- tory. Earl, the Boston Braves outfielder, scored two goals and Tom, his brother, the other. Parker played a clever game on the forward line. DE MOLAY QUINTETS WILL HOLD TOURNEY Basket ball teams representing De “Tolay Chapters from four States, in addition to the Robert Le Bruce Chap- ter of the District will compete in a tournament to be held Friday and Saturday in the Eastern High gym. The tourney will be held in connection with the annual De Molay pilgrimage to Mount Vernon. Play will begin Friday night at 7 o'clock when the Washington and Nor- folk teams probably will meet. Floyd ‘Wood, scoring ace of the Washington team, will be playing against his old 4 , mates, having formerly held forth with 81! the Norfolk quint. York, Pa.; Baltimore and Hagerstown, Md., are other cities to be represented in the tournament, the winner of which will receive a handsome cup offered by the District Chapter. ‘Washington’s quint is determined to win the tournament and is_especially keen for a victory over ‘the Richmond, Va., five to avenge a defeat suffered at the hands of the Virginians recently in Richmond. Final tourney play will take place Saturday afternoon, and the winn‘ng team will receive its trophy at a dance to be held that night.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18 1929. SPORT With the Sports Editor =By DENMAN THOMPSON: OR a fight in which no title is involved that scheduled for a week from next Wednesday be- tween Josef Paul Cuccoschay— otherwise Jack Sharkey—and William Lawrence Stribling is attracting an unusual amount of attention throughout the country and is a direct refutation of the oft-re- eated asser- ion that the available crop of heavy- weight con- tenders is so poor as to merit little consideration. This is true 31 Wlashlng& on, also, an Marty Gallagher, (311, 3150, ARG degree when it is considered that prizefighting not only is taboo here; that even amateur boxing on a workable basis has yet to be legalized. But ring en- thusiasts of the District have a keen, personal interest in the card to be presented by Pro- moter Jack Dempsey by reason of the fact that their own fel- low townsman, Martin William Gallagher, is to figure promi- nently on it. This 21-year-old specimen of rugged humanity, whose recent activities, due to a squabble with his manager, John 8. Blick (former or present, de- pending upon the legal jurisdic- tion) have been confined to the courts of law rather than the ring, is listed to oppose Johnny Grosso _in the semi-final at Miami Beach. i { i First This marks the first time Gallagher has been billed for appearance in a spot so close to the top of a card possessing any pretensions to class and the showing he makes is likely to prove a big factor in his future as a fisticuffer. Following his last skirmish with attorneys before the District Su- preme Court which left him free to mingle with whom and where he pleased, except in States allied with the Maryland Athletic Commission, where Blick still is recognized as his handler, Gallagher trekked to New Yorkf There he put in some effective gym work and a week ago he hied himself to Miami Beach to put on the finishing touches for his Feb- ruary 27 chance. Just how Gallagher may be er- pected to fare when he answers the bell under the glare of the lights at at Flamingo Park, where some 40,000 fans are erpected to assemble is a matter of conjecture, but judged from what is known of his opponent Marty will be credited with having taken a step up the ladder of fame if he gets the verdict. Accounts of the conditioning work of Sharkey at Miami Beach credit Grosso with being his most valuable sparring partner and with providing spectators at the daily sessions with by far the most action for their 50- cents-a-head admission fee by the courageous manner in which he stands toe to toe with the title con- tender and trades punches. To get more of a line of the caliber of Gallagher’s next foe this column got in touch with his handlers in New York and they very obligingly furnished us_with some statistics tending to show that the Mount Vernon, N. Y., product is not only older and just as sturdy in build as the local boy, but that he has had considerably more ring experience, a very important consideration. Grosso's record, as furnished by the office of Will Gibson, his ‘manager, shows that this lad of Italian parentage started his profes- sional career just four years ago with a one-round kmockout victory over some chap by the name of Caggiano and that in the total of 36 bouts in which he has engaged he lost but 9, winning on decision in 7 and stop- ping 20 of his opponents, Just one “K. 0.’d by” appears in the list, his conqueror on this occa- sion being Italian Jack Herman, who turned the trick in seven rounds at Yonkers on April 15, 1926. None of the battlers Grosso is credited with stopping ever has at- tained any prominence in ring affairs, although he holds a decision over Quintin Romero, the best known being Old Jim Savage and Jack Gagnon, who subsequently outpoint- ed him in his last fight, January 4, but there is some significance to the fact that those to whom Grosso has lost are not entirely without preten- sions to distinction. These include Jack De Mave, whom he also later defeated at the same distance, 10 rounds; Sergt. Jack Adams, King Solomon, George La Rocco (three times) and Big Boy Peterson, the latter bout, in Chicago, being the only one Grosso has had outside of New York City or its vicinity. None of these is a headliner and never will be, but some of them, in turn, have battled with heavyweights | Possessing some claim to class and all in all they constitute both in numbers and ranking a_higher cali- ber of opponents than Gallagher has- engaged in his brief career. The general run of spectators at the ringside a week from next Wed- nesday can't be expected to get very excited about the semi-windup, con- sidering the status of its principals, but Washington fans will train an eye—and attune an ear, if the pro- ceedings are put on the air—on the show in Florida, and will be pulling hard for Marty. * X X X Aid of D. C. Fans Sought. NDER the heading of an I “Appeal to All Friends of Amateur Boxing” Charles L. Ornstein, for years an official of the South Atlantic Division of the A. A. U, types the fol- lowing: The writer and a number of sports leaders in the District have for over a year labored to give Washington legal- ized amateur boxing through legisla- tion in the Congress.

A. Section. BY WILLIAM H. WRANEK, JR. HARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Feb- ruary 18.— Washington and Lee’'s successful basket ball team, which has far and away the best record of any South- ern Conference court quint in the States of Maryland, Virginia and North Caro- lina, is dte to several factors working together. First of all, the Generals can put on the floor a team of five men, every one of whom stands 6 feet.or higher. In a game where the height of the players is of great importance this one factor goes a long way toward winning con- tests. The W. and L. lineup doesn't always include all five of the tall boys, | for there happen to be a pair of good | floor men in Lexington who are a couple of inches shorter. This Winter the Generals are not relying on any one man to do the scor- ing. They have three threats who have scored more than 125 points each dur- ing the first six weeks of the 1929 sea- son. Capt. Jim Lowry has counted 130 | points, Cox 140 points and Willlams 127 points. Sophs Are Prominent Last season W. and L. ha - markable freshman team am;i (;o-rceh Smith has used this combination with but few changes. Williams, the 6-foot- 3-inch center, is a sophomore, as is Cox, the high-scoring forward, who stands an inch ‘above 6 feet. Capt. }.::r(;l;}"s h;ppe_ns ;o 1:ehnm of the little —he is v Wiire—he es shorter than W. and L. has lost only one this Winter. and that wa.thy x;n-fl":; the University of Kentucky. The next | night Coach™ Smith’s charges turned | around and defeated the powerful five | from West Virginia in the second game |lost by the Mountaineers this season.
