Behind him, wondering what it was all about, he left John O. “Man Moun- tain” Erickson, big Chicago Swede, a victim after 1 minute and 45 seconds of the second round of what was sched- uled as a 10-round bout, had elapsed. ‘Tht Chicago Swede seemed willing to mix things, and a stinging right that landed on Carnera's jaw, followed by short jab to the stomach, aroused | Brimo's ire.

HEN Wilmer Allison won the national intercol- legiate championship in | ' ‘ 1927 he was hailed as one of the finest tennis players| the colleges had produced in years. | During the two seasons of play since this 25-year-old star from Dallas, Tex., has more than lived up to all the fine things said| about him, ranking well up in our | first 10, making the Davis Cup| team and winning the Wimbledon goublu title with Johnny Van yn. There ‘is 8 great deal of similarity between the games of Allison and his doubles partner, Va1 Ryn, whom I gon- sidered in my precading article. Like Van Ryn's, his game hasi't a single out- standing weakness. He is good both from the baseline and from the net, and he has ol;;. of the most difficult services to handle. If his driving were a little more relia- able I should rate Allison as ntially & national champion, but he is in- clined to periodic slumps in back court play, his forehand failing more often than his backhand, which is especially effective. But even though he is not quite as reliable as Van Ryn, I believe Allison it in him to go farther in singles, for when he gets hot and has every- thing working right he can play the most sparkling tennis. His service is one of the biggest as- is unusual, because Allison de- his almost squarely | e net.

So about_the middle of the Summer, when the Enid (Okla.) team came to Joplin for the regularly scheduled series and it was announced that Branch Rickey of the St. Louis Cardinals had come to Joplin to “look over” the Enid shortstop, who, by the way, was playin, a wonderful game, I thought little of | the incident, excepting, perhaps, to wish | that it was my good fortune instead of the other player’s. Unmindful of the presence of the major league scout, our team went into the game as though nothing unusual was in the air, playing our best, of course, but in the mesnwhile also watching the Enid player, knowing that PHILADELPUIA NATIONALS he was on exhibition and might have his big chance. He played his usual fine game and after the contest was over we went to the club house and, so far as we were concerned, the incident was over. But just about the time I was ready to_leave the park I was called to the office and to my astonishment was in- troduced to Mr. Rickey. “Did you buy the Enid shortstop?” I asked. “No,” he replied, Then with a little “I bought you!"

Velrs, jr., of Silver Spring at ythe Arcadia in the first skirmish of a ten-game home-and-home series. : 1 This year's crop of bowlers includes many youngsters of promise, | but heretofore none has been considered in a class with Espey.

Others think so, too, for when kid pin-shooters are talked about nowadays the name of Es- pey is paramount. It may not re- main so, got if Noble Veirs con- |tinues his recent pace. Noble is 16 years old, attends Tech High School, and does most of his bowling on the Proctor & Faulconer layout at Silver Spring. Three nights ago the Tech youngster rolled a five-game scdre never ap- proached by Espey to win the Silver Spring Sweepstakes—661. event the previous Saturday he finished second with 697, and a week before that he was second with 614. Thus for three five-game sets, rolled on successive Sat- Campbell classic, he totaled 1,872, which of history, with all of the stars com- peting.

He will have the solid support of Silver Spring’s bowlers, and they are many, when the Tech youth comes to the showdown with the much touted Espey. Arrangements for the meeting were made tocday by Blick and Frank tor, co-proprietors of Silver Spring plant. Blick and Proctor will pitch in on rize for the winner. Seven-thirty will the starting time of each set and only those arriving early are likely to find seats, or even standing room. First Juvenile e, It will be the first appearance of | Veirs before a crowd and if he's like | most youngsters this condition won't elp him. On the other hand, Espey is used to that sort of thing. He drew his own gallery in the Campbell sweep- stakes and wasn't annoyed in e least. You see, Eddle has won the District pocket billiard champlonship for two years and has grown quite callous to scrutiny. Both youngsters are of slight stature. Espey shoots a straight ball, started from the center of the drive, Veirs rolls a cross-alley hook. The match will be the first of gen- eral interest rolled by Washington juve- niles. The game has made a tremen- | dous gain in popularity among the knickerbockered element, this season. At the Lucky Strike are two drives that floor men have come to call “the kids’ alleys.” They're at the south end of the first-floor layout. Several sets of 4l5-inch balls have been placed on the racks for the little fellows. N.

Between sweepstakes he sandwiched scores of 362 and 360, made with the Professional Men's team in the North of Washington League, and in a three-game special after the last sweep- stakes he smothered his opponent under | .l:’l avalanche of wood that included 408 | sticks, |GIANTS GET ACQUAINTED IN FIRST CAMP DRILL SAN ANTONIO, Tex., February 18 | (#).—The first practice of the year for | the’ New York Giants consisted chiefly of a get-acquainted session.
