Cc2 S PORTS. THE EVENING MONDAY, STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., UNIVERSITY PLANS RING MEET YEARLY Amateur Stars of Section in| ; | here, First Event—Winter Car- | nival to Be Heid. BY H. C. BYRD. NIVERSITY OF MARYLAND probably will have two tournaments of a widely different nature as fea- tures o1 its next year's indoor athletic schedule. One is to be in the nature of competition in which Maryland varsity teams, basket bail, boxing and track, will meet on the same evening teams from other universities, and in addition there will be staged a| series of exhibitions in which| physical education classes, both men and women, show the type of work they are doing in fencing dancing, volley ball, wrestling and other sports. The othe: tcurna- ment is to be an invitation Easi+ ern amateur boxing championsiip with the best boxers in the East| got together for 10 bouts The boxing tournament to be in- | augurated this coming Saturday night and i to be known as the first an- nual invitation Eastern boxing cham- pionships. The best amateur boxers in the East are to be brought here for the events, with gold watches to be given %0 the victors and medals to the losers. ‘Representatives of the Maryland ath- Jetic authorities in Baltimore and New York have been working on this for the last month. About the best amateur boxers in the country will take part in the tourna- ment and it is ebout as certain as any- thing of the kind can be that some of the men who appear in the Ritchie Coliseum Saturday night will renresent the United States in the Olympics this year. Two who are to take part were members of the United States team | that toured Europe last Summer. The other tournament, if such it may be called, will be an elaboration cof the plan inaugurated during the past Winter of holding a basket ball game and a boxing me-t the same evening With the exception of the basket ball game and the boxing meet, it is plan- | ned to have several events take place on the floor at the tame time. In| other words, what the Old Line school is planning is something of a three- Ting circus. With the program that has been | tentatively worked out, the events are likely to begin at 7:30 p.m. and con- tinue for four hours. This tournament is not to be inaugurated until next | Winter, when it will take place prob. ably some time during the first half of February. | IOME exceptionally good records were made Saturday night in the South- | ern Conference indoor track and field championships at North Carolina University. Zimmerman of Tvlane won the pole vault with a leap of 13 feet 3V inches, Swartz of Virginia Poly- tec) Institute got the shotput with 8 heave of 45 feet 7% inches, Owens of Georgia @ mark of 23 feet took the broad jump with 7Y Inches, which, to say the least, are highly creditable I;ertornuncu, All would be good marks attained outdoors, to say nothing of the fact that they actually wefe made on a board floor. The Zimmerman who won the pole vault is the one who phga‘humnck on the Tulane eleven. bly the running events were done in good time also, but little can be told of them without knowing just YEARS AGO | ’ IN THE STAR. ANAGER CLARK GRIFFITH of the Washington ball team will have a careful look at Rixey, young University of Virginia pitcher, during the Nationals’ stay at the Charlottesville training camp. Georgetown University won _the point trophy in its recent track meet despite the claim of the Uni- versity of Virginia that the Blue and QGray was not entitled to first honors, according to a writer in The Star. Georgetown surprised somewhat by defeating Pittsburgh at basket ball.

March 7.—Two powerful punchers, Christopher (Bat) Battalino of Hartford, Conn., and Billy Petrolle of N. Dak.. collide at Madison are Garden on Friday night in the k's outstanding boxing duel. As featherweight champion. Battalino never was noted as a great puncher, but the 10 pounds he has put on in the last few months apparently have doubled his hitting efficiency In his two matches among the light- weights Battalino knocked out Al Singer and Billy Shaw in two rounds apiece. Neither of these rivals, however, can be compared to the crowd-pleasing Petrolle, who packs a knockout wallop in either hand The match, a 12-round affair, has been made at 140 pounds. Petrolle, who usually scales about 139 pounds, prob- ably will cutweigh Battalino by no more than 3 or 4 pounds. Petrolle’s Brother Fights. Two of Petrolle’s recent knockout victims, Billy Ran of Poland and Blily Townsend of Vancouver, appear on the St. Wicholas arena card here tonight. | Townsend, incidentally, will have a chance to gain a little second-hand re- venge on Petrolle, for he is matched | with Billy's less-famous brother, Frankie Petrolle, in the 10-round semi-final Ran, a right-hand puncher of the most | deadly power, meets Marty Goldman of New York in the 10-round main bout. Other leading matches nationally send | Benny Bass, Philadelphia lightweight, against Wesley Ramey of Grand Rapids, Mich., at St. Louis Wednesday, and Fidel Labarb, Los Angeles featherwell against Varias Milling of the Ph pines at Hollywood Friday night.

It would seem on the face of it that the slightly over 2 minutes for the half mile was about the best rec- ord made. DDIE LaPOND deserves a good deal of credit for the fine record he has made in coaching Catholic Uni- versity boxing teams. He has carried his men through another year of suc- cess, and has done it apparently with- out having materia] above the average to work with. LaFond deserves the glories he has sttained, because there never was a more earnest worker, nor one who got along better with his men. Getting in the ring with each man, he stays there until that man understands the points being demonstrated. That man out of the way, Eddle takes the next one and 50 on until he has had every member of his team before him. And Eddie has to be quite a man physically to do that. LaFond should be a successful coach enywhere, because he has that facili'y for imparting knowledge to others which marks the teacher, whether it be in boxing or Sanskrit P the track and field organizations in this country, including the big gov- erning bodies of the colieges and universities, decide to abandon the yards. feet' and inches measurements that have been used in this country sinee the first cinder path was laid out, it probably means that some of the runners of recent years will lose fine records and that new records will have to be set up In other words, it will be up to the athletes of the present generation to set new marks. Of course, that only holds good for American records, as records for the 100 meters and so on up in the decimal scale have long been recognized in foreign lands DONOVAN SEES KAYO VICTORY FOR BARRY Predicts Upset With Dixie Light-Heavy Champ at Alexandria Tomorrow. in Battle Reds Barry.

ORROWFUL but adamant, vour Uncle George Isemann S today broke down and con- | fessed that in the name of | justice the very elegant bowling gent from Connecticut, Mr. Nick | Tronsky, will not be ranked No. 1 nationally by the National Duck- pin Congress again this year. In the same breath the N. D. B. C. secretary admitted the big bowling feather probably will |adorn the bonnet of either Bal- | timore’s Ray Barnes or Washing- | ton’s Ollie Pacini. While the dapper Mr. Isemann joins | other fair-mind~d bowling gentry in sympathizing with Tronsky. who wasn't to blame because the New Engand State Lergue went blooey this year, the necessity of eliminating Tron: from ranking consideration because he has no average, to quote Isemann, “will gerve to open the eyes of the New Eng- | landers and show ‘em how vital leaguc | eompetition 1s." Thus, in this somewhat hollow man- | ner, the smooth-shooting Barnes and the colorful Pacini advance to the cen- ter of the stage. O meticulous s Secretary Isemann about his National Duckpin Con- | gress records that neither Pacini | nor Barnes could sneak in a bowling alley in the wee hours of a Sunday morning and kick over a duckpin with- out vour Uncle George recording the event #nd then crosc-examining to d | termine whether a foul line judge w | on_the job. Thus it came as no surprise today when the duckpin Judge Landis issued | some official and interesting figures. Boy! Are those bowlers close? “I have here.” Isemann announced, shuffling a stack of eards (record cards) | with enviable expertness, “the swi | stakes records of Pacini and Barnes, which should give a fair idea of how clese they are | “Barnes in five major sweenstakes— United States, Dixie, George Washing- ton. Fastern and Ray Barres—has spilled 9,949 sticks. Pacini. in the same stakes, has kno~ked over 873. That's a difference of 76 pins. Each has won n sweepstakes-—Barnes the United States ~nd Pacini the Dixie. Each has rolled 80 major stakes games. ““7JTHAT margin is in no way final, or even near final,”. Isemann continued. “These two may slip back and some one else pop up.

All in all, the ranking will be based on performances in approximately 100 stakes games, 100 league games and 100 special match strings.” Incidentally, it is reported Barnes and Pacini are sporting about the same league averages and there can't be a great difference in their special match scores. N axiom that generally runs true— A star is good for only one big victory a *—appears to have both Barnes and Pacini. Consecu- tively they won major triumphs and since have struggled. But how they're struggling! Take the last Saturday's Ray Barnes classic in Baltimcre. Aware no great disparity existed between their stake averages and determined to gain on the other. they finished in a dead heat for th piace, with 1,210 apiece Maybe it might be well to give 'em each a No. 1 ranking HE break-up of the New England e League was tough on Tron- sky. last year's ranking bowler nationall Ask your pin stars who is the best in and 9 out of 10 will admit Many contend he is the greatest of all time At any rate.

Lord Burghley, now a member of the British Parliament, will be one of land's competing athletes in the Olymp games at Los Angeles. And another great English star, who recently lost his seat in Commons, P. J. Baker, may be present as a spectator. Burghley is a famous 400-meter hurdles man, but may confine his efforts to_the flat 400 this year. Baker, a former Cambridge star, ran second in the 1,500 meters in 1920, and has visited the United States, running the half and mile The English should have a great relay team this year with Burghley, Ramiping, Reid, Brangwin, Hanlon and Hampson, all good for 49 seconds or better.
