SP ORTS THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1932. SPORT S e sroRTs TR VNG e e _—— Basketers Start Title Tourney Tonight : Duckpin 0perators Plan National Body 10 TEAMS IN LINE FOR SEVEN TITLES Girls Promise Hotter. Battles Than Boys in Annual A. A. U. Event. BY R. D. THOMAS. MERRY whirl, to last a month, from which seven teams will emerge with Dis- trict A. A. U. basket ball championships and Washington Post trophies, will get under way tonight in the Tech High gym, with more than 100 teams in line for action. The cross currents of rivalry will affect independent, high school and military service teams, not to speak of a group of girl teams keyed approximately at high C. One of the bloomered clubs brings to the tournament the only title lefi irom Jast year, all the other winners oi 1931 having outgrown their divisions or be- come ineligible through a new terri- torial restriction and an all-star ban. Five or six games will be played each night, with the first starting at 6 o'clock. ’I"HI Eagle girls will be the only de- fending champions, with the Jew- 1sh Community Center, Als A. C. and Rockville sextets their principal rivals. The Rockville lassies have moved up from the junior ciass in ‘which they won the title last year and are more ambitious than ever. Compe- tition in some of the male divisions to be torrid, but in the case of the fiercer species officials fear things will boil over. W. Dewey Haight. major domo of the tournament, and Win Johnson, secre- | tary of the A. A. U. and chairman of its Basket Ball Committee, will func- tion somewhat as shock absorbers. The tournament is expected to pay for itself and leave a mite in the A. A U. kitty, the admission price to be two bits. PETLES to be decided are the girls'| 8 senior and junior and the males' | T*¢ 100-pound, 115-pound, 130-pound, 145-pound and unlimited. Two teams that triumphed last year Boys Club Optimists, 1oo-pou.nd winners last year, will strive fors 115-pound laurel, and their larger clubmates, who triumphed in the 130- division, will go for the 145- pound title. The Saks Clothiers, 145-pound cham- of 1931, have been graduated to unlimited division. 'I'IAHB that represented BEastern, Central, Tech and Business in the high school series, have remained intact for the A. A. U. tournament, but will compete as independent clubs. All except the Business outfit will be in the unlimited ciess. THhe érstwhile Stenogs will try for the 145-pound champion- ship and for the first time will not be called upon -to concede advantages. ‘With the Saks quint out of the way they figure as championship contenders. Bliss Electrical is the only entrant from the college field. Calvary M. E.. in point of continucus competition, is the oldest team in the tournament, having played in all since the event was inaugurated six years 280, Quantico Marines, Fort Washington and Company F of the Hyattsville Na- tional Guards are the military threats. ‘The United Typewriter Grays. in the Tossing Referee Crude Mat Form By the Associated Press. OSTON, March 1.—When wres- tling is not wrestling was ex- plained to “Gentleman" Jack Wuhbum. Chicago grappler, in Municipal Court here. The answer, it seems, is that wrestling ceases to be wrestling when you throw the referee. Then it be- comes assault. Washburn wrestled Jack Smith of Chicago at the Boston garden last week and in the course of the bout he scored a fall over Referee Bert Potts, who went flying out of the ring and landed on the cement floor. ‘Washburn testified in Municipel Court that he really didn't know what was happening when he threw the referee. And Referee Potfs ad- mitted he didn't really know what had happened when he landed on the concrete. The judge, however, decided it was assault and found ‘Washburn guilty of that offense, but placed the case on file. REYNOLDS IS LEADER OF 1. C. C.

If a player is over the limit at weighing-in | time his team must do without him or enter a heavier division, invariably a division in which it would have little | Der chance for victory. Rather than have their teams thus handicapped, or remain out of the big excitement themselves, the boys have resorted to some heroic measures. Given a day's grace to make the grade, they have performed wonders shedding | poundage. Vigorous exercise, swathed in four or five sweaters and other heavy toggery, topped off with a Turkish bath | when they could afford it, and ab- | stinence from food and water has turned the trick many times.

He dropped 15 or more pounds in such a hurry the lad seemed transformed The tournament barely was under | way when young Hook, who in the meantime had surrounded large quan- tities of victuals, zoomed up to his orig- inal weight, and Major D-mo Haight got hoarse answering the ominous query ‘How in blazes did [hnl guy get in?” | TWIN BI‘LL AT LAUREL LAUREL, Md., March 1.—Headquar- ters Company of Laurel will meet Brookland Boys' Club of Washington | and Elfleot City Hoplites will | Sport Mart basketers, also of Washing- | , in Intercity League games tonight | 0 the Nesioodl ‘Guecs Armory court | Mat Matches By the Assoclated Press | NEW YORK.—Leo Pinetzki, 276, Po- | land, threw Herb Freeman, 218, New | York, 19:31; Pritz Kley, 2]2 Oermlny threw Bill Middlekauf, Floi 7:47.

DE LUXE VAN HEUSEN HOPING T0 EXPAND D. C. ORGANIZATION Project to Be Launched at Meeting This Week—New Events Announced. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. DOZEN or so Washington A bowling alley operators gathered at the Lucky Strike alleys not long ago to plan for the next Star yuletide tournament. When they emerged from the office of J. William Wood they not w 663 Sets Pace With Average of 116 |only had planned for that event, but also had formed the Metro- politan Washington Duckpin Op- erators’ Association. It was a big step forward in the Capital’s bowl- ing business. Now Washington, first in duckpin bowling, seems likely to become first in & movement to establish & National Duckpin Operators’ Association through the aid of its local association. Hugh J. Crawley, secretary of the new association, today drew up a con- |stitution to be submitted for formal -ppmvnl at the next regular luncheon meeting of the operators Thursday. In- cluded in the constitution are several objectives which should give bowlers a 3| fair idea of what the Washington as- sociation stands for. They follow: To develop, maintain and endeavor to increase interest in bowling, encour- age a spirit of sportsmanship and good fellowship among the members of the association and to establish such rules as it deems will benefit the bowlers and member operators. To help promote and establish & Na- tional Duckpin Operators’ Association. To set up and maintain definite high standards for bowling alley establish- ments and bowling equipment. To help maintain the game on the high level it has attained and to. dis- courage open gambling and other in- fluences which lower the standard of the game. To promote the interests of the bowl- ing public by direct assistance to the National Duckpin Congress. To provide & means for settling any differences among mmben of the as- sociation before they are carried to the bowling public. To plan general publicity for the good of the game. To provwe Lhe puhun with & high standard of servis ASHINGTON'S is only the second sectional duckpin operators’ asso- ciation in existence. Connecticut has the other. Such centers as Balti- more, Richmond, Norfolk and Atlanta have none. Should these enterprising local oper- ators put a national association across it doubtless will go far toward making | more contacts and, above all, help greatly the National Duckpin Congress’ struggle to standardize completely the little ball game. 'ORTHEAST HUPMOBILE, and not National Pale Dry. is the name of the leader in the National Capital League. At a loop meeting last night the Pale Dry franchise was awarded the Northeast Hupmobile team, captained by Maxie Rosenberg.
