Red Erb, West Virginia pitcher, allowed only seven hits while Steve Physioc and Bill Mcllwee were being nicked for 10. It was the second straight year that the cards have been stacked against Erb in battling Maryland. Last Spring a wild throw in the tenth inning beat him, 5 to 4. Rosenberg’s two passed balls and an error and the six stolen bases he per- mitted told yesterday. Maryland, which played heads-up ball, scored the winning run in the seventh when Paul Cronin singled, stole second, went to third when the backstop drop- ped the third strike on Berger, who was retired at first, and counted ahead of Stnub&s chuck of Chalmers’ grounder to second. 0 TP =0 Buonowsn 5 oo Plalzg'fif | Drepp'd.ct.

Finishing a Good Job WO more boxing shows at Alexandria, Va., and Jack Tulloch, emergency fistic impresario, will relinquish his role, and with his abdication the Rotary Club of Alexandria, sponsoring the charity bouts, will cease to promote boxing. Whether the charity bouts will again be held nevt indoor boxing season is a question. The Rotarians are not sure. Mr, Tulloch is almost certain that he will not be at the helm. It has been a task, according to Jack, and only that charity has benefited to the extent of $5,000 has made the job worthwhile. Managing fistic entertainments, in the manner which shows must be conducted in territory where prize fighting is not countenanced, is @ man's size task jor an erperienced promoter. To Jack the job was a hard onme because in handling it he was cutting his promotorial eye- teeth, But the shows were well conducted. There is not a fight club in this section of the country which enjoys the success of the Portner aggregation. Capacity houses greeted most of the shows, and cleaner handling of bouts and fighters existed at the Virginia battle ground than in most places. There was little of the usual scheming and maneuvering which marks most of the present-day boxing bo! And the fighters were forced to do their best. But keeping the shows topnotch meant constant vigilance on the part of the promoters. Experienced fight managers, who forever are alert to take advantage of a situation to bet- ter their purse and their fighters’ prestige, had to be combatted by in- experienced promoters. Cliques had to be guarded against and care ex- ercised in not allowing any one group to dominate. Baltimore, New York and Philadel- phia groups made overtures for control of the club and were turned down. Of- fers were presented in which an Alex- andria man would be paid for the use of his name. But, having originally planned to stage the shows for the sole benefit of the Day Nursery in that city, those in charge of the exhibitions never lost their perspective. With their mission almost accom- plished, those in charge of the bouts are going to stage one more show after tonight and then say either au revoir or good-by. It is possible that a Summer of reflection may prompt the boys again to promote next Fait. But Tulloch, at the moment, is not 50 sure. It is hoped that the club again will operate. Its shows have been the acme of sportsmanship, splendid fighting and businesslike handling. For it to turn over its prestige, its standards, to others might be a mistake. If benefit boxing is to continue in Alexandria next Fall, then the present group now staging it should return—for the sake of the sport. But if the Alexandria boys decide to stay down, they will pass from the gime having done as much to cleanse, uphold an honest standard and create interest in decent boxing as any group that ever has promoted the sport, Alexandria has blazed a splendid boxing trail—only failure will come to those promoters in this section who fail to follow that path.

YOUTHS RUN FOR PENN IN RELAYS vs. Navy | Jack Edwards and Paul Hinkel Down for Action—Freeman on Diamond Team. 0 former Washington schoolboy athletic luminaries will carry Penn’s colors in the annusl relay this week end on Franklin Field, Philadelphia. They are Jack Edwards, former Tech track and foot ball stalwart, and Paul Hinkel, who was & track and grid main- stay at Central. Edwards regained his position on the 1-mile varsity relay team, when he ran the quarter in 49:3 to finish yards in front of Howard Jones, with whom he BROWN IS FAVORED IN'GO WITH BARRY Main Battle at Alexandria Tonight Is Backed by Good Prelims. [ N major parts in making boxing draw at Portner's Arena, climb into the ring again tonight at Alex- andria with Brown being favored to pound out a victory during the eight rounds or less. A defeat would be a bitter dose for either boy. Brown has a wide reputa- tion and a loss to Barry wouldn't help. Barry, on the other hand, virtually has been promised a crack at Maxie Rosenbloom, light-heavyweight cham- plon, in the opening show of the Mid- City Arena if he wins tonight. They previously went to an eight- round draw, though many thought Na- tie had an edge. | Tonight's supplementary card is | rather potent, especially the main pre- luminary, which will ind Young Van, the knock-out artist, opposing Ray Lit- ten in four rounds or less. Van has won all five of his fights by kayoes. The six-round semi-final will have as principals Joe Pino, Mexican ban- | tamweight champion, and Harry | Groves of Baltimore. The other four- rounders list Whitey Saylor vs. K. O. Riley, Bob Portna vs. Doug Sweatman and Ossie Stewart vs. Sherman Smith. — | METHODISTS TO TUNE UP HYATTSVILLE, Md., April 26 —Hy- attsville Southern Methodists, who will compete in the newly organized Subur- ban Church Base Ball League, play in which opens May 7, have bqoked a prac- | tice game for Thursday evening at 5:30 o'clock with Dor-A tossers at Riverdale, The rechmen will depend this sea- son on Howard Smith, Maurice Flory, | Corl Frey, Vernon Clarke and Lauder, | pltchers: Bonifant, catcher; Bill Lu- man, Curly Smith and Baker, infielders, and Iton Arnold, Ardley Hart and el, outfielders.

OLDIE AHEARN and his staff of co-thinkers and co-worriers were all a-grin today. They finally had a wrestling show go over in a big way last night. It rained for the eighth Bolling Field mat carnival again yesterday, but that didn't stop the patrons, who occupied nearly every available seat in the in- closure. And the wrestlers showed their appreciation by putting up a whopper of a show. Gus Sonnenberg, his college-boy ap- pearance now definitely gone, polished off the antiquated Bool Martin for the first time since Mr. Ahearn has been operating at Bolling Field, but the fea- ture, by comparison, was dull. The preliminaries stole the show. One of the closest infringements on downright sincerity seen in connection with wrestling in this town was ren- dered when Sam Cordovano and Danny Winters stepped out of the ring after battling to their second 30-minute draw. Every customer in the place was on his | feot applauding. The ovation lasted fully five minutes. Just as the whistle blew, Winters was about to body-slam Cordovano for what might have been the finishing shot. ‘The next best bet was another draw, this time with Marvin Westenberg and Ivan Vacturoff as the prineipals. The Lee Wycoff-Bob Wilkie melee proved pleasing, too. Martin was no match for Sonnenberg in the feature, though Gus wasn't im- pressive, Bool had nothing but a harm- less headlock and a couple of hard looks.. The end came after 25 minutes, when Sonnenberg violently pushed Bool against the ropes. Bool came bounding back a mile a minute. Venzke Awarded Penn Scholarship HILADELPHIA, April 25 (#).— State Senator James S, Boyd has announced that Gene Venzke of Pottstown High Schbol, holder of the world" indoor record for the-mile, has accepted a four- year scholarship to attend the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. “The scholarship has nothing to do with athletics” said Senator Boyd, who recommended Venzke for the honor. “It is a regular student scholarship, and Venzke must pass the College Board requirements.

BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. HOULD Central High, which has one of the best base ball teams in years, triumph this year in the public high school championship series, it will | be the first time it has gained the crown since way back in 1924. Since that time Eastern, which now is striving for its fifth straight win, has gained the title | each year except 1927, when Tech was victorious. Central followers believe their team has a great chance to vanquish Eastern Friday and ring up its third triumph in as many series starts. Victory in 1924 came to Central on a screaming crash for a home run with the bas Hank Slanker, rightfielder, had done nothing extraordinary in the series, The dramatic clout put the game be- yond the reach of Tech, and Central won its second straight title. Prior to | Slanker’s wallop, h came in the | late stages, it had been a fine game, with Henry Phipps of Central and Tew of Tech waging a desperate pitching duel. Central's line-up for the Tech game included Adams, left field; Williams, center field; Scruggs, shortstop; Hance, first base; Slanker, right field; Hale, third base; Wilner, second base; Robe- son, catcher, and Phipps, pitcher. Wirtley ~Scruggs, Bob Williams, Phipps and Mike Gordon, who did not play in the Tech game, but exhibited strongly at third base in other con- tests, were Central players to be select- | ed by The Star for all-h | It was Western tha hardest struggle in White was able to defeat the George- towners by only 3 to 2 but it drubbed Business, 10 to 2, and Eastern, 10 to 4, | in addition to taking Tech ogver the hurdles. Eastern will meet Georgetown Prep in the Eastern Stadium, and Central will have it out with Episcopal at Alex- andria in ball games tomorrow. East- ern’s track team will go out to College Park for a meet with the University of | Maryland freshmen. ‘The Business-Western public high title fray was the lone diamond game card- ed today. On the tennis courts Busi- and Western were to face in the fonship series, and St. John's | were to mix at Devitt in a 00l League engagement. ALL games between Gonzaga and | astern, St. Albans and Charlotte | dall and Tech and Georgetown Prep, scheduled yesterday, were rained out as was & Prep School Tennis League match carded between Friends and St. Albans.

Saturday's game will have an im- portant bearing on the Olympie play-off series.
