SP ORTS THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, WEDNESDAY, MARCH. 30. 1932 SPORTS. C-3 Winter Sports Highly Successful From All Standpoints Despite Depression ATHLETIC EVENTS WELL PATRONIZED Crowds Thronging Contests Briltiantly Entertanied by Star Performers. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, March 30.—Sport during Winter has ex- pressed nothing but a bur- geoning and progressive spirit. Athletes have not shared in a depression generally felt in other quarters and their exploits, fol- lowing in rapid and blazing se- quence, have illumined a section of a gloomy world occupied by the United States of America And not only have there been brave and memorable deeds, but popular sup- port has been neither faltering nor par- simonious. We have yet to hear wails from promoters of athletic events of diminished receipts or waning interest As cases in point. consider ihe bumper attendance of 8,000 in the indoor meet. of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of America, the largest on record, and the public outpouring for the national indoor tennis champion- ships and the matches of the Indoor Polo Association New Heroes Emerge. In point of achievement new gods have established themselves in the galaxy of those who have accomplished greatly. Still echoing are the thunder- ous plaudits which at the Madison Square Garden last month acclaimed the running of the fastest mile, indoor or out, ever stepped by a human being in America. Gene Venzke, the Pottstown, Pa. schoolboy, will run yet faster before he is through, but that mile in 4:10 already has made him immortal. Just as Leo Sexton, the brawny New York Athletic Club shotput performer, gained a place upen the topmost height by establish- ing a new indoor record with the 16- pound ball of 52 feet 8% inches. Add to these performances the feat of George Spitz of New York Univer- sity, who at the Boston Athletic Asso- ciation meet leaped over a delicately balanced crossbar at a height of 6 feet 81, inches, higher than any human being has ever leaped before: add also the new world medley record set by the New York University quartet at the A A. U. indoor championships, the break- ing of the 2-mile steeplechase mark by Joe McClusky of Fordham, and you have a story of achievement which | few, if any, Winters ever have equaled Marvels at Tennis. In tennis, followers of the sport wit- | messed a stirring battle for the world | rofessional indoor title between Wil-| jam Tilden and Vincent Richards. Six | thousand enthusiasts saw the lanky | Philadelphia veteran turn back his more youthful challenger, 6—2, 6—3, 6—1. Out in California, Lester Stoef- fen, No. 15 in the national tennis rank- ing, supplied a stunning upset in defeating Ellsworth Vines, the national champion. There are those who say he will do it again in Eastern tourna- ments this Summer. I Gregory Mangin's achievement in winning the national indoor singles still is subject for discussion among tennis folk, and worthily so, for the young Newark boy's courage and skill and stamina in turmning back the mighty Prank Shields was no ordinary accom- plishment. Gilbert Hall retained his covered court Canadian title by virtue of very fine | tennis, in which in the final at Montreal he defeated Berkeley Bell. George Lott and John Van Ryn added to the im- pression that they are the world’s great- 36t doubles team by winning the nation- | al indoor doubles in convincing manner. | In golf, MacDonald Smith won the valuable Los Angeles open and Tommy Armour, holder of the British open title, captured the Miami open in a sub-par game. Maureen Orcott showed her mettle by defeating Helen Hicks, wom- en’s national title holder, for the Flor- ida championship. | Finally, Billy Burke's triumph in the Florida West Coast open showed that the national open champion will be in there when the big show starts this T, NOISE WASTED ON HIM. ‘The roar of a rts crowd means nothing to Jerry Jelinek, veteran Mar- quette University pole vaulter, for he is deaf.

ACK PORTNEY, Baltimore light- weight, is assured of further en- gagements at Portner's Arena, in Alexandria, but a couple thou- sands patrons of Day Nursery benefit shows have thumbs down on Stum: Jacobs of Hopewell, Va.. as the result |of an eight-round match last night which Portney won decisively, but which produced not a solitary moment of excitement. Jacobs' failure to mix it with Baltimorean made it a dull fight, but there is considerable to be said in Stumpy's behalf. He was outweighed by six pounds, 135 to 141, and co piained of an injured right hand. Hr was not his usual scrappy self. When he did uncork, which was seldom S shots were followed quickly by a clinch, the TUMPY was forced to clinch often to save himself from a direful beat- ing. Portney, a whirlwind, flung overhand rights and lefts in such pro- ifusmn that Jacobs had practically no opportunity for counter-attacks. It ap- peared Stumpy would have been willing to trade socks had his opponent given him half an opportunity. Next Tuesday's main bout will bring together Marty Gallagher and Reds Barry, rival Washington heavyweight A vear ago Gallagher outpointed the youthful Barry, and the latter's hench- men are eager to learn how much Reds has improved. Gallagher in a year hasn't changed perceptibly. The Bout, which will be at 8 rounds, will offer Marty opportunity of a sort There would be little glory for him in a victory over the 17-year-old Mohawk clubman but a bang-up scrap by the Foggy Bottomite would restore him to popularity among former admirers who have become tired of Marty's lack of aggressiveness FRANKIE MANN'S usual program of hot preliminarics gave the cus- tomers a run for their coin last night. _In the six-round semi-windup. | Ray Bowen of Washington handed Patsy Lewis of Baltimore his first beat- ing at Portner's, but Ray, at 145 pound had a 9-pound weight advantage. none | of it fat and a much longer reach and under the circumstances, though de- cisively outpointed s’ performance was commendable.

HEN Charley Bauer, kid star of Baltimore, rolled 832 for his six games in doubles and singles, it appeared almost certain he would get that 372 necessary for a new United States all-events record.

ALBIE BOOTH HONORED Basket Ball “Y" Absence, His Eighth Award. NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 30 (). — Award to Albert J. Booth, diminutive foot ball and basket ball captain, of the minor “Y” for basket ball, his eighth and probably last athletic let- ter, has been announced The letter was awarded in recogni- tion of his captaincy, in spite of the fact he spent the first part of the sea- son in a Wallingford sanatorium re- covering from a lung infection and sat on_the sidelines the rest. Booth has received three major let- ters in foot ball and two in base ball and two minor “Y's” in basket ball.
