SPORTS. ‘Weidman Seeks All-Time Record as King Pins and Temples Baitle for Pennant NEEDS SET OF 385 T0 BEAT MANDLEY Final Match of Campaign in District League Is Potent With Drama. BY R. D. THOMAS. N perhaps the most dramatic match in the history of the colorful District League, the King Pin and Northeast Tem- ple teams will clash tonight at the Lucky Strike. Not only the pennant will be at stake in this last contest of the season.| There is that between the Tem- | . ples and the King Pins that makes | victory—er—sweeter than sweet! | below the standard held by Mandley. In a workout yesterday Clem was far off form. He appeared stale. On the other side will be another record-seeker, in the person of Georgie Friend, a former holder of the District League record for average. Friend has rolled tvo consecutive sets in the 400 class and if he gets another tonight it will be the first time that three in suc- cession have been shot in any league. Have Close Call. The Temples were given a scare last night by the Stanford Paper Co. team in a postponed match at the Coliseum. But for Friend's set of 440 they would have gone down to defeat and been eliminated as pennant contenders. They rolled bet- ter than 600 in the first game and won it easily, but they took the second only by three sticks and the third by 10. Tonight's fuss will start at 8 o'clock George Isemann and Willis Sensen- bach, who placed high in the national doubles, scored a brilliant victory last night at Winston-Salem, N. C., when they helped christen the Forsythe Rec- reation pin plant. They defeated Al Fischer and Glenn Winslow, 1,223 to| 1,123, Isemann having a set of 627 that included a game of 160, and Sensenbach, " who is only 15 years old, getting 596. | Lorraine Gulli and Helen Strain | The ‘match brings to a head a feud | that has been nothing short of bitter. | Twice the rivals have met. In the first encounter the King Pins won, two to one. In the second the Temples more than got even by scoring a clean sweep, a triumph without which they now would have no chance for the cham- pionship. The King Pins lead by one game. The Temples must win all three tonight to finish in front. Should they take two they would tie in games won and lost. but the King Pins would have a heavy margin in total pins. Packed House Assured. The match will be contested on drives | Nos. 17 and 18, on the first floor of the Lucky Strike. One mapleway will be | covered to accommodate spectators, but | Bl only those who arrive early likely will | see the battle. As league matches go. this one is a classic. It is doubtful if any of the 10 star |’ bowlers involved has ever been under more disconcerting pressure than he will | in be tonight, and for at least one the match_will be a heart-breaking test. Clem Weidman of the King Pins faces a crisis in his brilliant bowling career. | Almost within his grasp is an all-time Tecord, but to clutch it he must shoot | a set of 385. The chances are heavily | against him. At this time a year ago Bradley Mandley, then with the Stanford Paper | Co. team, finished the District League season with an average of 119-44 for | 81 games, the best in duckpin history or games Tolled on a circuit of drives. Clem Has Slump. Weidman has rolled 78 games and his average is 119-17. Should he beat the record the hefty King Pinner will have a strong claim on the No. 1 rank- ing in the Washington City Duckpin Association'’s “Big Ten.” He has main- tained a high standard in two other leagues, the National Capital and Federal. Moreover, he has tied the all- time record for “400” sets shot in one season, with four and all were achieved in the District League, where they come the toughest. Two seasons ago Jack Whalen of Convention Hall had four. Until three weeks ago Weidman ap- parently had a new record cinched, but two mediocre sets in a row pulled him For DISTINGUISHED GUEST The finest tribute to Clicquot Club SEC is paid by the distinguished clientele who display it on their entertainment tables and buffets. trimmed H. Clarke and E. Dyer, 1,098 to 985. Miss Strain of Richmond was high with 570. Har best game was 141. Miss Gulli shot 528. ON THE DRIVES TONIGHT District League—King Pin vs. Temple, at Lucky Strike.

April 11—Primo Carnera, giant Italian pugllist, who has a record of 15 knockouts in 13 bouts will exhibit his punch here May 16, in a Derby eve card sponsored by the American Legion. His opponent will be Bearcat Wright, 225-pound Omaha, Ncb., negro. The match was made only after ex- tended communication with Chicago and Omaha authorities had convinced the Kentucky Athletic Board of Control that Wright would be a suitable oppo- nent for the Ambling Alp. Wright had been matched for May 16 with George Godfrey for the negro heavyweight championship of Philadelphia, but legion officials said they anticipated no difficulty in getting the date changed. The bout will be the first mixed fight in Kentucky since 1920 when boxing was legalized in the commonwealth. K. of C. Benefit Lacks Bout Between Irishmen NEW YORK, April 11 (C.P.A).— ‘These be strange days for Irish fighters. The Madison Square Gar- den matchmaker has the program for the Knights of Columbus bene- fit bouts April 30 all set, except for the middle 10 -rounder. Maxie Rosenbloom and Larry Johnson are to meet in the main bout. Bob Olin fights Roy Wallace in the opening 10-rounder. “But that middle 10 has me stop- ped,” said Matchmaker McArdle. “It seems we ought to have an Irish- man on a Knights of Columbus card, but I can't find one to fit in here.” How times change! Trojans Flash Strong Track and Field Team_ CHICAGO, April 7—The Trojan of Southern California seems to be as fleet on the cinders as he was mighty on the gridiron and accurate on the basket ball court. Having swept California’s Golden Bears off the track and field, the Trojans now are being hailed as winners over Stanford -in the outstanding dual meet of the Pacific Coast seascn Saturday. Dink Templeton’s tracksters have won the I, C. 4-A meet three times running, but their effort to win a fourth title in the East later in the Spring may be balked by these same Trojans, who will come over the Rockles in full strength. ‘The Trojans are strong in almost every department of the track and field sport and some of their per- formers are certain to improve as the season progresses. FIELDS RISKS TITLE IN THOMPSON FIGHT CLEVELAND, Ohio, April11 (CP.A).— Champlon Jackie Fields will defend his title against Young Jack Thompson in a 15-round contest to be staged by Dick | Dunn at the Olympia arena in Detroit on May 16.

SEATTLE, Wash,, April 11.—The eyes of the rowing world were turned today toward Lake Washington, pic- turesque body of water at the northern edge of Seattle, where the famous crews of the Universities of California and Washington were to battle for Pacific Sout supremacy for the twenty-second me. Nearly 100,000 persons, the greatest crowd ever to witness an athletic event in the Pacific Northwest, was expected | to watch one of the most colorful and dramatic spectacles in the West. Many began locating advantageous points of view on the shore of the lake early today for the event which was sched- uled for this afternoon. Others were preparing to board boats and airplanes for closer-up views of the races. Clear skies and fair water were forecast. Although only a light north wind was predicted, the weather ob- {of from 14 to 18 miles an hour, which would slow down the time of the shells and make it unlikely that new records would be established. The course runs north and south, with the boats travel- ing northward. The freshman race was scheduled for 3 o'clock (Pacific standard time). ‘The junior-varsity for 4 o'clock and the varsity an hour later. Experts gave California the edge in the freshman 2-mile event, Washing- ton the advantage in the 3-mile junior- varsity race and called the blue ribbon classic—the varsity 3-mile battle—a toss up. Washington and California have bat- tled for Pacific coast supremacy since 1907, with the Northern huskies win- ning 14 eight-oared varsity races and the Bears 4. Stanford figured in the regattas from 1907 to 1919 and captured 3 first places. No race was held in 1918 on account of the World War, LEWIS TOSSEE KOITOFF.

Mandell Risks Title By Fighting or Idling CHICAGO, April 11 (#)—Sammy Mandell today was given his choice between risking his lightweight title against the roundhouse punches of King Tut, the slugging Minneapoiis fighter, or endangering his good standing with the National Boxing Association. The Illinois State Athletic Com- mission last night ordered Mandell to sign for a championship match with Tut within 30 days or it would request the N. B. A. to declare his championship vacant. ‘Tut has posted a forfeit of $2,500 along with his challenge at the Illi- nois State Commission’s offices. 0HIO WOULD LIMIT SPORTS FOR GIRLS By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 11.—County basket ball tournaments for high school girls were condemned and interscholastic competition by girls are considered of questionable value in a bulletin issued by the State Department of Education. Interscholastic games “‘do not come first” and should be most economically financed, said the report, which finally termed them “nuisances” because of the “traditional hysterias after victory and melancholia over defeat.” Championship tournaments and meets were said to be “useful only for senior high school and college girls, and then only in the absence of zny other oppor- tunity for competition,” as the lack of intramural competition in schools with small enrollments. The bulletin condemned foot ball, basket ball under boys’ rules, long runs, jumping in competition, hurdling, weight-throwing and pole vaulting and classed soccer and base ball with a hard ball as doubtful. The following events were approved for girls: Volley ball, tennis, horseshoes, captain and nine- count basket ball, captain ball. drive ball and similar games, 50-yard dashes, obstacle races and short relay races also were approved. -SPORTS. TROJAN TRACK TEAM IS FAVORED IN MEET| By the Associated Press. 2 LOS ANGELES, April 11.—The Stan- ford University track and ficld team, samewhat of a mystery at present, will arrive here today to work out on the Oc- cidental College track, where tomorrow they meet the University of Southern California cindermen in a dual meet. The winner will enter as favorite in the 1930 I C. A. A. competition at Boston, ‘The Trojans, on paper the strongest dual-meet aggregation ever produced by the Southern California institution, in competition have lived up to expecta- tions, and are favored to win by any- where from 5 to 20 points. Against the University of California_these Trojans turned out an astonishing 105-t0-26 victory. If Stanford falls before them by even a small margin they will go to the 1. C. A. A. meet favored to d fend their intercollegiate title suc- cessfully. ‘The mystery element in Coach “Dink” Templeton’s Tedshirt team is expected to vanish by the time four or five events of tomorrow's meet are com- pleted. Rumors that ‘“Hec” Dyer, sprint ace of the Palo Alto outfit, has turned in a 21 flat furlong, and that Templeton is not pessimistic, has led to the belief among Trojan fans that Stanford has something up its sleeve. If unexpected victories for Stanford do not develop in the dashes, mile or 440, Trojens will breath easier and discount "the mystery as a pre-meet scare.
