SPORTS. Amateur Boxers, “Fiercer Than Pros,” to Have Inning Here Tomorrow Night CRINKLEY, MORAN TOP 108007 CARD Navy’s Unbeaten “He-Man” and Midatlantic Champ Promise Exciting Scrap. BY R. D. THOMAS. NE big difference between O professional and amateur boxers, taken by and large, is that the amateur species is fiercer. As Goldie Ahearn remarked the other day, discussing this same thing, “Did you ever see me get hurt?” Goldie, game, but never reck- less, passed up professional fight- ing to sell haberdashery, and to- day points meaningly to a pair of non-caulifiowered ears, an un- scrambled face and to heels that strike the pavement before his toes. To the ring pro valor is less of a virtue than prudence, if indeed it may be reckoned a virtue at all. “You gotta hand it to the guy that's got it,” as Merchant Ahearn puts it, “but it ain’t good business.” Then we have the lear-laden praise of the Persian military captain for the men of Greece. Having heard of the simple prizes awarded in the Olympic games, Tigranes exclaimed to his com- mander in chief, Mardonius: “Heavens! Against what men are you leading us? Insensible to interest, they combat only for glory!” EP, your ring pro begrudges so much as a lost tooth, a smeared beak or a split Mp as the cost of victory, but what tales of valor might be told of those ancients, those heart- and-soul amateurs, who, as Olympic scrappers, staked their very lives, gen- tlemen, in quest of glory, pure, unde- filed glory! Down the line for 2,000 years has come the fame of Arrichion, who lost his life but gained the laurel crown. Arrichion was choked to death in a c st called the pancratium, a com- bination of boxing and wrestling with nothing barred, not even teeth and nails. In this game it was largely a case of surrender or get killed. His enemy had a strangle hold and Arrichion a toe grip. The toe broke, and as his foeman cied out in agony, “Enough!” Arrichion expired. This act appears to be the only one overlooked by Daddy Joe Turner's gladiators. 'OBODY 1is expected to lose his life tomorrow night when 10 battles are fought in Ritchie Coliseum, at the University of Maryland, for the Eastern A. A. U. championships, but mayhem won't be a surprise. Inspired by Olympic hopes as well as worthwhile sectional honors, 20 first-class amateurs will take part in what promises to be the hottest thingin | a boxing way presented hereabout this | Winter. Nearly every contestant brings to the wars some sort of title, city, State or sectional, and one of them is a na- tional champion. So intriguing are all the matches that none may be singled out as & * bout,” but heavyweights usually command most attention, and the scrap in this divi- sion tomorrow night looms as a hum- dinger. IT will bring together Duke Crinkley, who won the national intercollegiate crown while at the Naval Academy last year, and Jack Moran of Philadel- phia, Middle Atlantic champion. Crink- ley, now an ensign, was as he-manish as they make ‘em, even at the Naval| Academy. His sports at school were rowing, 0ot ball and boxing. He pulled a strong oar in the Middies’ champion- | ship victory at Poughkeepsie last year, was an outstanding tackle on the grid- iron and was the best heavyweight col- lege ringman in the land. Crinkley has never been whipped in the ring, but was held to a draw by ‘Tiny P%!lclu’l of Western Maryland, whom he later soundly thrashed. 'OMORROW night, for the first time in his career, Crinkley won't be a favorite. His opponent has won 15 zrseculive bouts. ‘There will be no ‘Washington will have only one rep- resentative in the show, but he is a first-rater.

HICAGO, March 11.—Midwest- ern stars cherishing Olympic track hopes will encounter their big indoor tests tonight | and tomorrow night in the Western Conference and Central Intercollegiate Conference championships. Trials for places in the finals of both meets, the Big Ten in the University of Chicago’s new field house and the Cen- tral at Notre Dame, will be held to- night. So keen is the competition that the preliminaries promise to rival the finals as the athletes strive for places. Michigan rules favorite to r the | Big Ten title, due to experience and | team balance, while Notre Dame ap-| | pears powerful enough to withstand all | challenges in its league. The Wolverines have Indiana to fear, and it would not be surprising to see the Hooslers win their first indoor title.

SLIGHT matter of about 22 years of experlence on a wrestling mat today left Strangler Lewis still| trailing Jim the Londos for a cham plonship match and Tiny Roebuck 1 pressed with the fact that he, Tiny, is entirely too gullible to hope to pit a clumsy flying tackle against the gray matter in Mr. Lewis' noble, gray- streaked dome. Tiny and Washington mat followers weren't sure Lewis won the previous match here, but they were cuite sure last night that the Stranglcr, with over 3,500 matches behind him, is the Lewis defeated Roe- i time before nore than 6,000 fans last night at Wash- ington Auditorium in 30 minutes. It was a tame bout until the finish, which about made up for the monoto- | Witz, 215, Poland, defeated George Hill, | nous tugging which featured the early | Canada, two falls; Mike Romano, 210, | going. Roebuck, with only three years of experience, was getting along quite well with his slap-slap methods, When he decided to finish the aged Mr. Lewis with some fiying tackles. A couple of these felled the good old Strangler, who, reclining in a corner, obviously was in a bad way. Then Tiny tried another, but those tackles which won for him all-Al - can foot ball honors proved Waterloo last night. The Strangler, suspending himself in the corner with his hands, let both feet fly at the right time and the right spot. The Redskin bit the dust. A vicious rabbit punch, then the famous Lewis headlock sent the 6,000 faithful homeward. The night’s two best matches were fought by Sandor Szabo and George Manish and Sammy Stein and George Hagen. Szabo found Manish too much man to throw in 30 minutes and was fortunate to get a draw. Stein, possibly the quickest and flashi- est of the Curley pachyderms, flying FOR YOUR HAIR - THE 60 Second Workout 3 HEAD DOWN, fingers going hard, 50 seconds of massage with Vitalis —and circulation quickens, natu- ral oils return, hair gets healthy! comB and brush—for 10 short sec onds more.
