SPORTS. Dubs Bowl Here . B—8 SPORTS. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1930. . THE EVENING TEAM IS PREPARED FOR COLD WEATHER - Trainer Believes Climatic Changes Won’t Bother Players as in Past. BY JOHN B, KELLER. MeLe EMPHIS, Tenn., March 29. —Despite the cold weath- er, that retarded training at the Chattanooga camp | this week, the Nationals are in excellent physical condition and should be prepared to withstand | the likely chilly spell to be en-| countered at Boston, where they are to enter a series immediately after opening the country's base, L in Washington on|x ball season April 14. The fiasco of 28 and | ’29 ought not to be repeated. No less an authcrity than Mike Mar- | tin, trainer of the Washington base ball club, declares this: “You know, at the openings of the past two seasons the club had to play in very bad weather, weather absolutely unfit for base ball," says Mike, “and it did not do it one bit of good. 'In fact, it harmed it to such an extent that following the start in Winter-like weather in Washington two years ago the club did not get back in good trim again until late in the Summer, and last year its players were in poor shape almost all the time. Stiffened by Cold. “Each year the players came up from the South in good condition, too. In 1928 they trained under the hot Flor- sun well into the first week of April, and it was a good and sound lot that went through the exhibition series on the way home. Then what hap- pened. The men ran into two very cold days in Washington before the season opened and the opening day itself was really wintry. Muscles stif- fened, many players caught cold and all the benefit of the Florida sun was gone. “Last Spring I don't think a finer- conditioned ball club ever left Florida than the Washington club. It was in wonderful shape physically. Every man was ready to work. Everything went along fine until we struck Charlotte, N. C. During the game there a hallstorm came along and cold weather, very cold ‘weather, set in immediately after. We ‘went straight from Charloffe to Wash- ington to find much colder weather, and once more all the good gained Florida was gone. “But I am sure it will be different this year,” says the veteran trainer. “We trained under better conditions in many ways at Biloxi than we had at ‘Tampa in some seasons, and when the club got to Chattanooga almost every man was in trim. The Biloxi camp was free of colds and the air there was bracing, nothing like the Florida air that, with its steady heat, often sapped the strength of the pla; It was a hardened lot of men left Biloxi this month, a lot of men not likely to be upset by sudden weather changes. Mike is Satisfied. I think the present condition of the players after undergoing the chill of the ‘week at Chattanooga proves this. They ‘withstood it wonderfully and now are as sound as I could want them. So sound, I think it would take excep- tionally bad weather to put them out of commission. And remember we still have more than a week of t: to do in this climate before we move slow- * ly to Washington. This should help the club more. “Believe me,” says Mike, “this club should be in tip-top shape when it reaches Washington and should hold nure despite the cold weather we are likely to run into at Boston. Time and time again I have seen the Washington club meet with very rough weather in Boston the middle of Ap: And I have seen its players lose condition as a re- sult. But I am confident there'll be no such trouble this year. “The infielders, outfielders and catchers are fine now,” Mike contends. “Buddy l(ier has a slightly sore throw- ing arm, but Buddy always has that trouble in the Spring. At least, he has had it since I have known him in base ball. Jack Hayes' arm is O. K. His trouble came from a too sudden cooling in the wind after a brisk workout, but it did not last long. Sam West, too, will have his arm right again in a day or two, Nothing to worry about. “And, look the pitchers over. Ex- cepting this young fellow Pyle, who is troubled with neuritis, and Braxton and Jones_every one is right up to snuff. Pyle, I don’t know about. This neuritis is tricky,” figures Mike, “but Braxton is a fast trainer, you know, and he'll be around soon even though he started late. As for Jones, that old war horse knows how to take care of himself. He could go now. I am tickled with the condition of the club, I tell you.” Griffs to Keep Busy. Martin thinks the exhibitions the Na- tionals are to engage in rather steadily from now until the opening of the championship campaign are about all needed to give the club the fine edge it should have on April 14. Following the tilts with the Chicks here today and tomorrow the club will have but three days without games in two weeks, and this stretch of competition will find all hands busy. ‘The Nationals were not given much trouble yesterday by the Giant second- stringers at Chattanooga. Collecting 11 hits off Jack Scott, a veteran, and | the left-handed Hen Hensel and the right-handed Jim Kenneth, rookies, the Washington bunch won, 10 to 3. Five of the runs were gleaned off Scott | in the first six rounds. Five more were | made in the seventh off the young-| sters. | Ossie Bluege, old-timer, and Jimmie McLeod and Jake Powell, youngsters, did some fine socking for the Nationals. Bluege, in the fifth frame, cleared filled bases with a two-bagger; McLeod, with a double, drove over the first run of the big seventh round and Powell came along with a triple to score two mates, Ad Liskg took a six-round turn against the Giant rookies and allowed them but two hits. These were clus- tered in the third inning and netted the egg:smon a tally after two were out. e New Yorkers had made a Tun in the second session from Bluege's two-base wild throw and a brace of fielders’ choices. Bob Burke left-handed his way through the last three rounds and gave up two safeties, one a homer by Kenneth. Burke struck out six bat- ters, retiring the side in this manner in the eighth. The Nationals went into the third two runs back, but squared accounts with a pass to Ruel and singles by Loepp, Barnes and Myer. Then came the fat fifth and seventh frames to salt the game. Muddy Ruel took a nasty knock on the right thigh from a fouled ball early in the fray yesterday, but stuck to his task through six innings. The bruise still had his leg sore today. Myer, sore arm and all, did some nifty fielding for the Nationals. He Kl:yed six innings at second base and ndled cleanly seven chances. He had to make six throws to first, but did not put much into them. Kenneth, pitcher, who went into ac- tion in the seventh inning, proved a fine batter in his only turn at the fl.". Starting the eighth he socked he ball against the sign above the left fleld stand for the first homer of the | Nationals’ exhibition series, A new Washington supporting cast in | the National League champlons today. || MAKING ’EM COUNT > L Powle: | scott, PO n! so0000ms000M CR 1 3 2l oooumrancand > ] soo900m20500500™ omarssmuBonossn | Ruel.

Kremer will start the game against LOS ANGELES, March 29 (#).—The National e champion Chicago Cubs today still were hunting for what its takes to defeate the Pittsburgh Pi- rates. The Pirates made it two straight yesterday by a 9-to-8 decision gained in the ninth inning when Guy Bush's pitching broke down and Hornsby and Blair committed expensive fielding mis- plays. Number three of the series was listed for today. BRADENTON, Fla., March 29 (#).— Andy High, erstwhile third baseman of the St. Louis Cardinals and who appears destined to pick u;‘:pllnteu from the Red Birds’ bench this season, leads the squad with & batting mark of .522 for the 13 exhibition es this season.

SAN ANTONIO Tex., March 29 (®). —The New York Giants were heading northward today in search of warmer and drier weather than they have ex- perienced here during the first six weeks of the Spring training season. Cold weather prevented the Giants from playing a soldier team at Kelly Field yesterday, but Manager McGraw | sent the athletes through a vigorous workout, their last in San Antonio. RITES FOR 0’DONOGHUE WILL BE HELD MONDAY Funeral services for Patrick Francis O’Donoghue, 23 years old, former foot ball and basket ball stalwart at Gonzaga College High School, who died yesterday at the home of his father, Patrick O'Donoghue, in the 2300 block of First street, following a long illness, will be held Monday morning at 8:30 o'clock at his late home. Requiem mass will follow at St. Martin's Catholic Church. Interment will in Mount Olivet Cemetery. O'Donoghue played in the backfield for the Gonzaga foot ball team with Fee Colliere and Orrel Mitchell. In his senior year, 1926, he was captain of the Purple basket ball team. Entering Georgetown University, he | was forced to discontinue his studies last year midway of his senior year. He would have been graduated last June. — went into action when Burke assumed the pitching burden in the seventh. McLeod, Hayes and Gharrity crashed the infield, Powell the outfield and Tate went behind the bat. Only Barnes, Loepp and Cronin went the route in the game. Manager Johnson did not see his Nationals in action yesterday, a sore throat keeping him at the hotel. Muddy Ruel handled the club. Johnson is at Memphis with his charges, although the throat still annoys him. Jake Powell, rookie from Silver Spring, swung a mean bat in practice before the game with the Giant second stringers. Once he lifted the ball over a big advertising sign atop the left fleld stand. Such a clout in Grifith Sta- dium would easily have landed the ball in the sun parlor. This youngster has a deal of power. A half dozen Nationals did not make the trip here. Pitchers Jones, Braxton, Kyle and Savidge and Outfielders West and Powell remained in Chattanooga to work out with the Southern Associa- tion Club. Johnson's scre throat and cold are nothing serious, but Griffith asked him to remain in Chatianooga. So Judge will be field general of the club in Memphis. | said, By the Associated Press. ORT MYERS, Fla, March 20.— Jimmy Dykes, jack-of-all-trades, who has played every position with the Athletics except catcher, has been named the regular third baseman for the season. He has been with the A's since 1917, “It's quite a shock, but official” he and a big relief to know I'm a third baseman. I've been knocking around from pillar to post for 13 years and at last I'm a regular.” Dykes fin- ished at third for the A's last year and batted 421 {n the world seriss. FT. WORTH, Tex., March 29 (P)— The toil necessary in shedding 28 pounds in excess welght is beginning to repay Ted Blankenship, who is making a busy attempt to come back as a Chicago White Sox pitcher. Blankenship gave seven hits in de- feating Waco of the Texas League, 8 to 4, yesterday, and became the first Sox hurler to work nine innings this seazon. The great Shires played four innings of the contest and was to get more _exercise against the New, York Giants today. Al Thomas was down for his first pitching appearance of the season in today's contest. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 20 (#).—Ted Gullic, elongated Missouri boy, and Morris Badgro, reserve gardener last season, appear to have the call for the St. Louis Browns’ right field berth, with Gullic getting the call against southpaws and Badgro against right-handers. The other positions open, third base, remains a toss-up between | PFrank O'Rourke and Sammy Hale, and Manager Killefer expects to alternate them. NEW ORLEANS, March 20 (P)— Eight games in the next six days will give the Cleveland Indians their most strenuous rrlod of the training season. Today and tomorrow one squad meets the New Orleans Pelicans while another plays Shreveport of the Texas League at Shreveport. Monday the Tribe and the Pelicans will play an orphans’ bene- fit game, Tuesday and Wednesday the New York Giants will come here and Thi y the Indians will go to Baton Rouge for a tussle with the Cotton States League team. Sunday the first cut will be made. Cecil Stewart, second baseman, will be sent to Snreveport and Tony Piet, shortstop, to Waco of the Texas League. ‘TAMPA, Fla., March 29 (#).—The Detroit Tigers pulled out of their train- ing camp here today and started for home. All of the 29 players who accom- ed Manager Stanley Harris and his assistants had been here for four weeks, while the pitchers and catchers had put in five weeks' work. Today's journey was more eastward than North, the destination being Orlando, where the Tigers meet the Cineinnati Reds in an exhibition game this afternoon. The training season here was a pro- nounced success. Undisturbed by illness, injury, holdout disputes and other harassments which most managers ex- gect during Spring training, Harris and is men devoted themselves to the busi- ness of getting ready to play ball. M:LARNIN'S COURAGE GETS HIM AN EDGE! By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 29.—That smil- ing Celt, Jimmy McLarnin, Te- rode | moved another obstacle in his march toward the welterweight title, but only after one of the hardest battles of his career. ‘Through 10 rounds of rugged battling, young Jack Thompson, sinewy Negro from Oakland, Calif., gave McLarnin just about as much as he could handle, but the Vancouver Irishman, rallying in the last few rounds, earned the unan- imous decision of the judges and referee. A near capacity crowd of 18,000 roared approval as the tide of battle swung first this way, then that. In the end, McLarnin's victory could be attributed, not to the crushing power of his punches, but to superior ring generalship and boxing skill as well as rare courage. Not once did Jimmy slam home with solid force the right that had knocked out such contenders as Joe Glick, the lightweight, and Sammy Baker and Ruby Goldstein, the welterweights. Thompson presented a canny defense that had McLarnin puz- aled all evening. EAGLES PLAY TOMORROW. Skinker Eagles will meet Woodlawns tomorrow afternoon in a game sched- uled for 2 o'clock in the Silver Spring armory. There will be no preliminary. Should the Birds win, and it will be the worst sort of an upset if they do not. they will call it a season. Victory will give them the Independent League title.

LOUIS, March 29.—Benny Bass of Philadelphia, world junior lightweight champion in the States where the title means something, retained his crown before 16,000 fans in the arena last night, al- though the consensus of newspaper men gave Eddie Shea, slugging Chicagoan, the better of it. Missouri’s pugilistic law allows only two kinds of decisions, either the knockout punch or the foul blow. Each scrapper got over a knockdown punch in the furious milling of the 10 rounds, Bass sending Shea to the canvas for a count of nine in the fifth round with a right to the jaw. Shea retali- ated by sending the champion somer- saulting for a count of seven in the seventh with s left hook. The crowd paid an estimated $40.000 to see the battle, which found Bass on the defensive during the greater part of the fight, and he took few chances against the challenger's heavy hitting. It was not until the closing rounds that the Philadelphian opened up and cuffed Shea with countless jabs to the head. Bass also excelled in the infighting toward the end. Both of the junior lightweights felt the weight of the other's crumpled gloves and each rocked occasionally from the hard punches. Shea’s aggres- siveness caused Bass to hunt cover, al- thou%h the champion fréquently picked off the Chicago boy's blows as they grazed his cheeks. Bass weighed 128, Shea 12615. —— TAKES TURNINA. B.

ENVER, Colo, March 20— Primo Carnera, the ambling Alp from Italy, today faced the ‘West in quest of victim No. 14, apparently unworried by threats of the National Boxing Commission to halt his alleged “one-round set-up knockout tour” of the United States.

WALKER retained his title of chess champion of the District of Columbia as a result of the seventh and final round of the tournament, which proved | the most interesting of the series con- tested at the City Club. The first game finished of the sev- enth round was between Walker and Bettinger. Walker opened with P to Q-4, which Bettinger responded to ir- regularly, Queens and minor pieces | were exchanged and Walker had a lit- tle the advantage in position. On his twenty-sixth move he won a pawn and ¢ on his twenty-eighth turn Bettinger re- signed, as an oversight involved the loss of a rook. This win placed Walker one-hall point ahead of Byler, who had been in the lead to the same extent. Byler was paired with Bishop, and the title of champion depended on the result of this game. It was spirited, well contest- ed, full of thrills, and ‘::ery move was watched by a large gallery. Bishop Mad first move and played P to K-4. Byler played the Philidor defense. On his thirteenth turn Bishop won a pawn, which Byler won back on his twenty-first turn. On his thirtieth move Bishop won & pawn, which Byler could have prevented. He thought he could win it back, with prospects for victory. He was unable to do 0, how- ever. On his forty-ninth turn Bishop indicated an intention of sacrificing a rook for bishop and pawn, which Byler evaded by moving the bishop. At this time each player had rook and bishop, and Bishop had five pawns as against four. Bishop at once advanced a pawn to the fifth rank and two moves later to the seventh rank. On his fifty-sixth turn Byler resigned. The game lasted from 8 pm. to 1 am. Byler worked hard on thiS game and used most of his time allowance, Bishop did not use half of his time. ‘This defeat left Byler one-half point behind Walker, who thereby retained the title won by him in 1927. Bishop and Walker both had the white pieces. In this tournament the players having the white pieces won 14 games, the players having the black pieces 7 games, and 7 were drawn, Knapp and Wimsatt had an interest- ing session in the seventh round. Nel- ther could gain any advantage, and after about 50 moves a draw was agreed upon. C. A. Hesse and A. Y. Hesse drew their game after 24 moves. In the sixth round Wimsatt won from A. Y.

Earl McCreary, Ok- Jahoma les t, did the same in gian the unlimited class, toppling Paul Ahearn of Syracuse in short order. Jack Yanbebber of the Aggies left his title in the 155-pound division to advance safely through his one match in the 165-pound class, and Conrad Caldwell, from the same squad, did likewise on joining the 175-pounders. Caldwell won the 165-pound crown last year. TWO M’DOUGALS SHINE IN PAIR OF NAVY SPORTS Brothers, sons of Col. Douglas C.

BLICK STAKE EVENT WILL OPEN TONIGHT Hundred Entries Expected at Arcadia—185 Game Wins Many Prizes. BY R. D. THOMAS. HILE most of Washing- ton’s star bowlers are banging away in the na- tional ~ tournament at Waterbury tonight a small army of the duffers will be shooting at the Arcadia in the opening skir- mish of the John S. Blick Sweep- stakes. This event is for bowlers with league averages of less than 100 and is the only big money tournament in which women vie on equal terms with men. Last year first place was worth $90 and there were one $60, two $40 and two $10 prizes. Another fat prize fund is assured There were 88 who paid $2.50 apiece to play a year ago, but there are likely to be more than 100 “on the line” to- night. Five games will be rolled at the Arcadia and five more next Saturday night at Convention Hall. Entries will be accepted until shortly before action starts at 7:30. Arville Ebersole, secre- tary of the W. C. D. A, will be In charge. W. Gooding, who won last year, s not eligible this time. He has improved too much. C. W. Wheeler finished sec- ond to Gooding, R. Frye and L. N. Ruche tied for third, P. A. Aronld was fifth and R. Norris sixth. ‘That 185 game rolled by W. J. Brown of the Baird team, in the Contractors’ League, the other night at the Arcadia. was worth around $100 in special prizes. Among the awards of the Arcadia and various business concerns were a ton of coal, a suit of clothes, a silk shirt and a n fried oysters. If Brown's score remains high for the season he will receive also a diamond. 3 Ben Keyes holds the all-time Arcadia record with a score of 186 made last season. Brown had an opportunity to beat not only this but the District record for a league game, 190, When he blew a spare in the third box. This and the first were his only flat frames. Until Brown got hot Eddie Espey led for the season’s honors with a game of 181, ‘The Interstate Commerce Commission bowlers will shoot a sweepstakes to- night at the Arcadia. Frank Stanley, manager of Blick's es- tablishment in Atlanta, visited friends here early this week. With no previous experience as a bowling manager Stan- ley, according to Blick, has more than made good, but apparently the job hasn't agreed with health. Frank has dropped 29 pounds since the big plant was opened, early this season. He was ordered by Blick to take a rest and to forget about the alley. Mag Wood of the Parkway FPilling Station team, has pulled up among the National Capital League high average men in recent weeks. Seven sets, rang- ing from 351 to 582, have boosted his average from 110 to 118. He's just about caught his distinguished team- mate, Carroll Daly. Bill Sisler, 14, with a count of 143, is leading in the competition for weekly high score at the Arcadia among boys 14 years old and under. In a special at the King Pin No. 1 the American Business Club of Wash- ington defeated the A. B. C. of Atlanta, 1,446 to 1,369, and in doubles Fowler and Carr of Washington trimmed Thomas and Johnson, 601 to 538. Schweinhaut, Washington anchor, led both teams with a set of 334, He was the only player to beat 300. Some bowlers were skeptical today of the 240-game rolled by Sam Vec- chio, 16-year-old patron of the Queen Pin, but there really was nothing phony about it. Sam struck in each ot the first seven boxes, spared in the eighth and counted only two, flatted the ninth and spared and counted nine in the tenth. He rolled the game against J. G. Groves, Ernest Burkhalter, F. M. Sho- walter and H. H. Penn, with Charlie Bing Prevost keeping score. Beyond doubt the youngster's score is the highest ever made in hardwood duckpins and his string of strikes un- questionably is a record, too. The previous high game for Wash- ington was 208, rolled by Al Work at the Recreation fiva or six years ago. In a match between T72-year-olds, John Joy of Hyattsville defeated Hank M. Allen of Bethesda, 500 to 499, on the ‘Takoma Park drives. They will meet again next week at Hyattsville, Frank R. and Wallace Burton are out front in the father and son tour- nament at Mount Rainer with a score of 710. H. A. and E. J. Dean of Alex- A brother and sister tournament will be held at Mount Rainier starting April 7. RANGERS IN OPENER By the Associated Press. MONTREAL.
