D. C. TUESDAY, F SPORTS. Officers Prove They’re Square Shooters SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO BRUARY 28, 193 c2 Washington City Duckpin Association HELD BLAMELESS IN TOURNEY FUSS Ebersole Needs Help to Put Over This Year’s Event in a Big Way. BY R. D. THOMAS. F any serious discord results from the verbal scrap at the Washington City Duckpin Association’s recent meeting it may be difficult to fix blame. Certainly, the association’s officers did all in their power to give everybody concerned a fair deal in the disposition of the city |- tournament, the bone of conten- |° tion. For the first time since old Grand Central days there was & fuss over the tournament. The long peace was ef- fected by the resolution of 1925, which put the event on a circuit, but for a while during the debate it seemed this bit of legislation might be repealed. Luckily for the association it wasn’t. ‘That resolution made a promise and the integrity of the W. C. D. A. was on trial. Had the association acted other than it did, in giving the tournament this season to the Lucky Strike and mext season's to Convention Hall, un- doubtedly some critics would have judged it a breach of faith. N the other hand, Joe Morgan, the Arcadia chief, has a complaint that commands consideration. ‘The Arcadia is the only establishment qualified to stage the tournament which has never been given this choice slice of business. It was within the power of John Blick to designate the Arcadia last year for the event, but he chose instead Convention Hall. Morgan contends that Blick had no authority to include this establishment in the “Blick interests” designated in the resolution. Morgan, it seems, is a victim of circumstances. In a sense the whole thing was much | ado about little, for a vast majority of bowlers care not which establish- | ment stages the tournament so long as | it is properly equipped. ECRETARY EBERSOLE can use 8 lot of help promoting this season’s tournament. Heretofore the job has been left almost entirely to him. It wouid mean much to the prestige of the game if an increase in the entry could be effected in such an off-year for all things costing money. Ebersole has been the secretary for seven years and has never failed to show a growth in the tournament each season. He would need more than 410 teams to turn the trick this time, and it might be done, too, if all the asso- ciation’s officers turned on full steam. This would be asking much. After all, promoting a big bowling tournament is work, and in this instance toil with- out compensation. Ebersole is the only paid officer of the association and his $400 a year is plenty earned. One of these times Harry Krauss’ plan will be effected, and the tournament | will be nct only much larger, but re- quire less labor. Harry would have a league's entry in the tournament ar- Tanged for before the season opened. 8 time goes on the late Len Collins is more and more missed in the| bowling game. He was invaluable. | For half a minute at Sunday’s meeting of the Washington City Duckpin As- sociation, the bowlers stood in silence in honor of the memory of Len. It was the only such tribute ever paid by the association and it couldn't have been more warranted. For what he gave the sport Len Collins got precious little from it. His reward for the countless hours of painstaking labor spent on the Duckpin Record Book, the most valu- able work of its kind ever given to the game, was a debt. It was a pro- duction beyond the capabilities of any except & conscientious, industrious, de- termined man. Len thought nothing of spending an entire evening search- ing newspaper files for a single fact. | Most of the information contained in | this compact volume of 176 pages he gathered from the files of The Star. | It wasn't incumbent upon him to give credit and Collins on that account dedicated his ‘book to this newspaper. Len went through life that way, giv- ing much, taking little. He died com- plaining his mother made too much of a fuss over him. GRAYS INVADE BETHESDA Will Battle Firemen, Champion Basketers, Tonight. Bethesda Firemen, Montgomery County unlimited court champions, will engage the United Typewriter Grays of Wash- ington at 8:30 o'clock tonight in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School gymnasium. ‘The Grays, former District A.

BRITONS F;NISH ROUT ‘Wind Up Cricket With Four Wins to One Against Australians. SYDNEY, Australia, February 28 (®). —England’s touring cricket team com- pleted its rout of Australia’s test match forces today, winning the fifth and final match by eight wickets. Beginning play in their second innings with only 164 runs needed to clinch the final test, the English batsmen promptly knocked up 168 for the loss of only two wickets. The final reckoning of the series of five matches shows four victories for England against one for Australia. COWBOYS EAGLE-EYED. LARAMIE, Wyo.

S an incentive for the develop- ment of a varied program of sports activity for Washington's colored institutions and ath- letic clubs, The Evening Star has awarded a silver trophy to the club winning the high score in points in an all-sports tournament, now in progress under the auspices of the Community Center Department. The tourney in- cludes ping pong, paddle tennis, hand ball, tumbu:g. wrestling, volley ball and basket ball. The trophy Will be awarded the vic- torious team for one year. Two legs on the trophy will insure permanent possession of the trophy. ‘While basket ball is regarded as the major Winter sport and is judged bene- ficial both from a competitive and recreational standpoint, Community Center officials are seeking to encourage the other sports, thus giving & great number of boys who have talents for other than basket ball to compete. Keen interest is being manifest in hand ball, which now is a prescribed activity of the physical education course of the junior and senlor high schools of divisions 10-13. Six hand ball courts are being erected on the Dunbar High School stadium. One is in use at Francis Junior High. The walls of most of the school gymnasiums are marked and play is progressing. Among the clubs and institutions that have entered this varled indoor com- petition are Armstrong and Shaw High, Cardozo Playground groups, Dunbar, Lovejoy and Birney Community Cen- ters, Francis Junior High and several athletic clubs. Points in the ping pong, paddle ten- nis, hand ball and tumbling will be dis- tributed’ as follows: First FM 50; second, 30: third, 20, and fourth, 10. The wrestling tourney will be divided into three classes—lightweights up to 125 pounds, middleweights up to 145, and heavyweights from 146 pounds up— and the same distribution of points will be made in each class. First place in the volley ball competi- tion is worth 75 points; second, 50; third, 30, and fourth, 20. One hundred points will be awarded the basket ball | victor, with 75 to the rmner-up; 50 for the third-place team, and 25 for the fourth best quint. FOULS AR IGNORED AS REDSKINS PLAY Anything Goes in Indian Ball, to Be Exhibited Friday on Inaugural Card. O fouls will be called, however ‘hardboiled the play, when those straight-limbed, upright Cher- okee Indians entertain Wash- ingtonians with their version of Indian ball at Central High School Stadium Friday afternoon. Part of a sports double-header spon- sored by the District Inaugural Enter- tainment Committee, these bronzed and powerful athletes will climax an after- noon of rare entertainment, which will be started by a lacrosse game, pitting stars of Annapolis against those of Bal- timore, at 2:30 o'clock. Whereas wrestlers are disqualified for unusual ro:?hnm boxers are declared losers for hitting low and foot ballers banished from play for mixing too freely, your Cherokee Indian accepts his hard knocks as part of the dly‘si work and comes back smiling for more. ACKLING, clipping from behind, punching, wrestling and free-for- all brawling all are allowed as these braves, stripped to the waist and frequently barefooted in cold, rain or shine, strive to defend their own goal or attack the other fellow’s. Injuries that have sidelined some of | our hardiest American athletes are ac- | cepted stoically by the Cherokees, who can take as well as give it. ‘Tickets on a popular price scale, 50 cents for children and $1 for adults, will remain on sale through Thursday. ‘Thereafter they mount to 60 cents and $1.50. Spalding’s, downtown newsstands and Main Inaugural Committee handle the sales. Basket Ball Notes LTHOUGH pairings for the an- nual District A. A. U. Basket Ball Tournament will not be made until tonight at the Boys’ Club, it is held probable that the nine girls’ teams entered in the event will not see action unmtil the second week of the tourney. Due to the heavy boys® schedule, the girls probably will idle in the event until some the boys’ quints are weeded out. Als A. C. is the only girls' team de- fending a title. The sextet’s opposi- tion in the senior class will come from the Howitzers, Jewish Community Cen- ter, Satellites and United Typewriter Grays. Four teams are entered in the junior class. They are Benning, Be- thesda-Chevy Chase, Georgetown A. C. and Hyattsville. This afternoon and tonight the welghing-in of boys will be completed. Flying Eagles are seeking games for Tuesdays and Wednesdays with quints having gymnasiums. Call Greenwood 2246-J.

PAUL BERLENBACH. ARALYZING Paul Berlenbach, who was hailed as the hard- hitting light heavyweight of re- cent times when he pounded his way to a world championship, has gone back to his old stamping grounds, Astoria, Long Island, to eke out a living. An idol of fistiana only & few years ago, the former light- heavyweight king recently advertised in a New York newspaper for a job as an athletic instructor with a pri- vate family, in addition to which he declared he was willing to act as private chauffeur. Not that “Oom Paul” is broke, for he has almost $100,000 sewed up in investments, but like many others, Paul declares that he is bond poor. ‘When he fought he reaped a fortune in three years, and much of this he salted away, but lawsuits, a divorce action and the depression put & crimp into the bank roll, and now Berlenbach must go back to work. According to Paul, he earned $350,000 as a champion, but let a lot of that slip through his fingers. He spent a considerable sum as & dog fancier, but disease caused the death of his nine prize Great Danes, all winners at the Westminster Dog Show, and with their loss went close to $25,000. That was the start of Paul’s misfortunes. Then he lost his beautiful house at Pelham, and two homes at At- lantic Beach, Long Island; yet Ber- lenbach took it all with a smile. “I'm broke,” he said. “Like others, I'm bond poor, but I'm neither too old nor too proud to work.” And now Paul has a job, and he's awaiting the day when the stock market will go back to normal and he can cash in on his investments— money he had won in great ring battles. (Copyright, 1933.) COACH SEES GOOD NINE AT CENTRAL Ray Enthused Despite Heavy Losses From Squad That Tied for 1932 Title. N spite of rather heavy losses by graduation, Coach Jackie Ray is steamed up over the prospects for Central High’s base ball team. The Blue Streaks finished in a triple tie for the public high title last year with Eastern and Western. It was Ray's first season as Central's diamond tutor. “I know what I've got this year,” Ray said today. “Last year I didn’t know anything about the boys until the sea- son had started. I figure the advance knowledge is gonna help.” Valuable players lost by graduation include Cooke, all-high catcher; Bill Moran, son of Charley Moran, former Catholic University coach, and Steve ‘Thompson, capable outflelders, and Em- mett Buscher and De Bettencourt, pitchers. It seems that Ray's big job is to re- build the hurling staff, but he doesn't figure it is such a large assignment at that. He is counting heavily upon Claude Cowan, a right-hander, who went well in games outside the title series last Spring. Cowan has put on weight. Brick Hayes, a hurler with sandlot training, and Irions, 180-pound twirler, who has had experience in New Jersey prep school ranks, are others whom Ray expects will help. Central’s battery candidates will begin work next Monday. HORTY CHUMBRIS, clever little all-high shortstop; Bill Bryant, sterling left flelder, who also was an all-high choice; Raub, third sacker; Buddy Nau, second baseman, and Bits Keyser, first baseman, who will be groomed to replace Cooke behind the bat, are 1932 mainstays available, Keyser is regarded as even a better catcher than Cooke, which is another way of saying he must be plenty good. Mario Gregorio, capable basket baller, will likely get the first base job. Bryant probably will be shifted from left to center field and Joe Motan, another son of Charley Moran, is figured likely to gain & berth in the garden, though he will be only a freshman. Joe, de- spite his tender years, is described as a better player than Brother Bill, and the latter is a first-rate performer. Pistolas, utility outfielder a year ago, and Lefty Chumbris, who has evidenced batting strength, are others who right now loom as front-rank contenders for duty in the far reaches. St. John’s and Georgetown Prep, old foes, will face tomorrow on the basket ball court at Garrett Park. Less than a week ago the Little Hoyas walloped the Kaydets, 54 to 17, and tl/y are ex- pected to triumph handily again. St. John’s, though, can be depended upon to put up the best fight of which it is capable against its ancient enemy.

NEW YORK, February 28.—The Dart- mouth Indians have chalked up their second victory ‘in three nights and boosted themselves into a tie for third place in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket Ball League standings. ‘The Indians trounced Columbia, 45- 32, on Saturday and overturned Penn- sylvania, 29-19, at Hanover, N. H, last night. It was Dartmouth’s fourth vic- tory in eight starts and deadlocked the Indians with Penn for the third rung behind Yale and Princeton. In the Squared Circle | BY FRANCIS E. STAN. HE flying tackle, popularized by Gus Sonnenberg in 1928 and one of the most sensational and overworked methods of attack in ling, has been ruled out in Penn- yvenia by the Svate Athletic Com- mission. ‘The new ruling now forces a grappler who insists upon butting to keep one foot on the canvas. just as a foot ball tackler now must keep at least one foot on the ground when hauling down a ball carrier. Pen- alty for infraction of the ruling is a held purse and pos- sible suspension. In _announcing the ban on the tackle, it was de- clared by members | of the Quaker State commission that Gus Sonnenbers. was made to pro- tect ringside spectators, who often were landing fields for misaimed mastodons. T is a severe blow to the game, al- though Pennsy is the only State to bar the tackle. Many of the newer rasslers can't do anything else but tackle. They are mauled around for a half hour or so and, when defeat seems inevitable, suddenly launch a tackle into the opponent’s fleshy midsection to end the match with a thrill and unexpected- ness (?) which leaves the spectators gasping. Joe Savoldi, Jim McMillan will be among those to suffer most. To a lesser degree it will affect Sammy Stein, Ernie Dusek, Ralph Wilson and a score of others, But, boiled down, it probably amounts only to another challenge to the ingenuity of the rassle government. | Something bigger and better no doubt will be thought up for the hefties by the master minds. But this may eventually cause the mat moguls to establish a sort of mem- ory school for rasslers. In Illinois, for instance, the gentle practice of throw- ing an opponent out of the ring, is frowned upon. Several other States have their quaint little rulings. So it would never do for a hefty to flying tackle in Pennsy, be thrown out of the ring in Illinois, or stick out his tongue at spectators in a hamlet where that method of teasing the gullibles is barred. 'ASHINGTON'S Spring rassling build-up is due to appear shortly. It may be either Fred Grobmier or Frank Judson, who have it out Thursday at the Washington Audi- torium. Just a year ago Grobmier was the gent a-gunning for Londos. Eventually he rassled Jeems, was beaten, but staged & hectic brawl. Judson, too, has had his match with Londos here and, like Grobmier, staged such a stir- ring go that he, too, probably is eligi- ble for a return match. the mova primarily | Gus Sonnenberg and | | mier will rely upon his hook scissors | | | enjoyed quite a bit of success against | Anyway, with a Londos go at stake or not, action Thursday between Judson and Grobmier likely will be as brisk as any of the year.

Tow, under the management of Jimmie Erwin, who seconded Les Kennedy last week when Reds Barry was upset, has big boys, as is attested by his victories over George Nerron and Marty Gal- lagher. Prante is touted as a puncher and boasts a string of knockouts as long as one of Primo Carnera’s feet, but the caliber of his opponents has not been especially high.
