1931 GRID SQUAD SURE TO BENEFIT Players Have Toiled Under Severe Handicaps for Past Two Years. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. ATCH Western on the grid- iron next year! Those scholastic gridders out Georgetown way may not do so much this Fall, but when another year rolls around Western will have an up-to-date athletic stadium ready for use, It may be a different | northwest and a party of friends. All these fish were caught trolling. The largest blue weighed 65 poun: | party, and included among those pictured here, were Dr. R. T. J. Barber, LeRoy story then. The school has never had adequate athletic facilities, a smali space suitable only for limited recreational activities being the only provision made along this line at the present plant. The ath- letes carrying the Red and White al- ways have had to do all their training on foreign fields in widely scattered sec- tions of the city. For the last couple of years or so, or since the old Knicker- bocker field was built on, the West End scholastics have been doing their prac- ticing on_a rough field in the woods back of Burleith, several blocks from the school. Located between Reservoir road and 8 street and Thirty-eighth and Thirty- ninth streets, two short blocks back of | Western, the stadium will cover approx- | imately 415 acres. Plans and specifica- tions for the plant are nearing com- pletion and bids for the work, which will cost $100,000, will be invited about | November 1 A fleld suitable for foot ball and base | ball is the main feature of the plant. | There will be & guarter-mile running track around the field, and portable | stands, like those in the Eastern Sta- | dium, will be erected along the 100- yard straightaway. A field house on the | edge of the field at Thirty-eighth street | and Reservoir road will be another ap- | pointment, and one or two tennis| courts will be provided. | Yep, proud old Western, which once was a foe to be reckoned with in all sports, probably will soon be getting | back in the sports sun with a will. It will be a good thing, too, for schoolboy | athletics here, particularly public high | activities, as with Western again a real contender title races will be more in- teresting and championship honors | may be distributed more evenly. | Western and Business now are the | only schools of the five in the public high group which are without stadiums. Plans also are under way for a stadium | to be built in connection with the new | Business High School, to be known as| Roosevelt High School. With adequate | facilities, Business, too, doubtless, speed- ily will achieve a real rank athietically in the public high group. The athletic future of the public high schools here indeed looms bright. | BIG BOWLING TEAMS | Dethesda's Championship Outfit Will Roll at Hyattsville Tenight. HE first maples will fall tonight in the new Suburban League when Bethesda, national duck- | pin champ, tackles the Hyatts- | ville rollers on the Hyattsville Arcade | alleys. 4 The match was originally scheduled for tomorrow night. The College Park Duckpin Associa tion will hold its initial meeting of the | season tomorrow night at the univer- sity bowling alleys, College Park. Elec- tion of officers and the discussion of plans for the season will take place, | and it is thought one or two fran- chises will be open, affording interested teams an opportunity to hook up with the loop. Business men will concentrate on | bowling tonight at the Recreation al- leys when the Business Men's Duckpin | League gets under way.

A TAKES STEP Bars Those in Non-Member States From Bouts in Member Territory. | By the Associated Press. MAHA, Nebr, September 17.— The National Boxing Associa- tion moved to gain control of the boxing industry in the United States yesterday by barring box- ers in bouts in non-member States from participating in member States. This action was taken by the adop- tion of & resolution as the annual con- | vention drew to a close, Stanley M. | Isaacs of Cincinnati, retiring president, revealed. The resolution reads in effect: | “After January 1 any boxer who performs in New York, California, Pennsylvania or Massachusetts (not members of the N. B. A) will not be used in the N. B. A. States.” It was the consensus among delegates that open warfare would be averted through those States not now mem- bers of the N. B. A. joining hands with the assoclation States. On its last day the convention also Ideclded to divorce wrestling and box- ‘lng. ‘This decision was followed by the organization of a National Wrestling Association, with headquarters in New Orleans and with Col. Harry J. Landry | of Mississippi as president. | In electing the N. B. A. heads, the | association selected John chairman of the Tllinols Boxing Com- mission, as president to suceed Issaacs. ‘ Following the election the N. B. A. | voted to establish permanent head- quarters in Chicago . and _instructed | Clinnin _to organize a working force | with a full-time secretary. With the selection of Detroit as the 1931 convention city the delegates ended the 1930 session. [ RAIN DELAYS FIGHT.

TOE KUHEL, rookie first sacker bought not so long igo from Kansas City, is expected to leave the Nationals here and return to his home that he might rest his injured leg. The knee, | hurt incurred during a game against ! the Tigers in Washington last month, is not responding to treatment as quickly as had been expected and Kuhel is of no use to the club now. Manager | Johnson knows of no reason why he chould be kept around the remainder | of the season, Kuhel, by the way, is to be married | in Kansas City on October 9. HETHER the Nationals play an ex- hibition game in Montreal next Monday depends upon the train | service between Detroit and the Cana- | dian city and also upon the weather in Detroit. It seems the club would be unable to reach Montreal in time for a contest Monday unless the departure of the regular Sunday afternon train from Detroit be delayed by the railroad man- agement. And should rain prevent play in Detroit Sunday, there would be no cxhibition in Montreal, for the post- ponement would have to be played off the following day. The exhibition date in Hartford, Conn,, next Tuesday. however, will be kept by the Washington club, as it does not open lts four-game series with the Red Sox in Boston until a week from today. | I AY TREADWAY, infielder-outfield- | er, bought not long ago from Washington's Chattanooga farm, | has reported to the Nationals and was |to_be used by them today.
