SPORTS. FADED STARS GIVEN DILIGENT ONCE-OVER Greater Washington Tourney| Committee Can Reject Any Application. BY R. D. THOMAS. Washington Handicap, opening tomorrow night at the Columbia, naturally are eager for a large field, but they're mighty fussy over whom they let in. Perhaps you remember the case of Roscoe Reichard. The rules governing the tournament are the same as last year with one ex- ception—the committee in charge re- serves the right to reject any entry. In- asmuch as the estimable Bill Wood, Lon Krauss and Charlie Bell constitute the committee there is no likelihood of an objection to this by-law. If any former champions of the Dis- trict League appear, no matter what | their current averages, they very prob- | ably will be refused entry. S, sir, the case of Roscoe Reichard | is strongly in mind as Wood, | Krauss, Bell and the Washington City Duckpin Association secretary, A. | Ebersole, go about building up the affair. | ‘There was no way of keeping Roscoe | out of it last year, even had the com- | mittee desired, which is doubtful. It is even more doubtful in the minds of some if Roscoe was open to criticism for accepting a handicap of 200 pins and what, as it turned out, amounted | almost to the gift of a wad of dough canstituting first price. | Reichard's average was sickly, he was entitled according to tournament rules to two-thirds the difference between that and scratch, 110, and that's all there was to it. It mattered not that once he ruled the powerful District | League. At the time of the tourna- | ment he was washed up as a star. But Roscoe regained flashes of his old skill | and to win was a breeze. And wotta howl was there. O no recognized star of the past, | unless he can show a decline due | to age or infirmity, and not to | having bowled infrequently as in the case of Reichard, need apply. All bowl- ers with averages of 112 or better as of March 11 are not eligible. ‘The entry fee is five bucks, the first set will be rolled tomorrow night at the Columbia at 7:30, the second at the Lucky Strike a week from tomorrow | and the third the ensuing Friday at Convention Hall., In the meantime, a somewhat simi- lar tournament continues tonight with the second skirmish of the Bill Wood | Dub Sweepstakes, at the King Pin. In the ope set, at the Lucky Strike, Tom Kini of the Typothetae, Holy Name and Recreation Leagues took the lead with a record set of 647, which in- cluded also the highest game ever rolled in the tournament—171. This was a re- markable performance for a bowler with an average under 106, the tournament limit, # Souz of the Dest girl bowlers of ‘Washington and Baltimore will meet tomorrow night at the Colum- bia, at 8 o'clock.

Tonight, Nick Tronsky and Jack White, Connecticut stars, will appear at | Convention Hall in singies and doubles matches with Whip Litchfleld, Eddie Espey and Paul Harrison.

It was only Ray Steele returning to his hotel after his rassling match with Fred Grobmier in a fashion marking the long-awaited ‘“new deal” for the “downtrodden masses” of rassledom. Unlike prosperity, revenge for the victims of Ray Steele’s practical jokes long has been just around the ‘well-known corner. It actually hap- pened last night. On his last visit to Washington, Steele, “clown prince” of the mat, brought along a big chunk of ripe limburger cheese. From one dress- ing room to another he went, smear- ing cheese in suit cases, in shoes and on socks. His unfortunate victims didn't forget it, but Steele, before his match with Fred Grobmier at the Washington Auditorium last night, regaled a group of fellow hefties in his dressing room, recounting vari- ous exploits at the expense of other matmen. As Steele stalked into the ring against Grobmier for the final bout, Promoter Joe Turner and the eight grapplers who had already rassied rushed to Steele’s room and “bor- rowed” his clothes. Victorlous in his match, Steele marched to his dressing room to find the shower bath hose severed and his clothes gone. In place of his garments were an empty barrel, an old blue working shirt, a black cotton .engineer's working hat and a sign, which read: “Ray—One good turn deserves an- other.” You might find your clot! at_Joe Turner’s office.” The Auditorium was almost de- serted, but Ray managed to borrow an old, much-too-short overcoat, which he donned over his wrestling trunks. At that he was stopped for questioning twice by policemen be- fore reaching his hotel room. When he arrived he called Joe Turners office. “It won't be opened until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,” telephone operator informed the second-ranking wrestler in the Jim Londos League. So Ray had to grin and bear it— bear it, anyway. - Sports Opinions | Of Nation Varied 'HE variations of opinion are sharp and distinct in a num- ber of subjects opened for dis- cussion in Associated Press’ 1932 sporting poll.

PUNCH BY STEELE WINS MAT MATCH In Grip of Grobmier’s Legs, He Uses Elbow to Nose Effectively. GOOD, old-fashioned punch on the nose is far more effective than the best brand of hook- sciasors grips, Ray Steele pmv{ed last night to some 3,000 wrestling fans at the Washington Auditorium. In the shortest feature bout here in months Steele conquered Fred Grob- mier through the medium of a sock on the schnozzle after apparently being on the verge of defeat. The time was 26 minutes. Grobmier had all the worst of the ar- ent until the 20-minute mark when e succ in fastening his legs around Steele's midsection. Rocking Jim Londos’ understudy back and forth, Grobmier twice succeeded in slapping his shoulders to the mat, but on each occasion Steele arose at the count of two. Fred shifted to a Japanese hook scissors, but Steele quickly reached out with his elbow and plopped Grobmier on his tender nostrils. Fred's grip loosened, and Steele promptly dealt a dozen more blows and a body slam to finish the skinny Iowan. The card was featured by compara- tively short but slam-bangey bouts. Joe Cox pinned Marshall Blackstock in 2313 minutes, Karl Davis flopped Lou Plum- |mer in 15!3, Hans Steinke threw Tiny Ruff in 8, and Frank Brunowicz licked Joe De Vito in 133 minutes.

At 8 o'clock Northern Preps and Legs to Decide Future for Hornsby Appears Fit and Doubtless Will Play Second if Underpinning Holds Up. BY FRANK GRAHAM. T. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 16.—After spending several weeks at Hot Springs, Ark, reducing his weight, Rogers Hornsby reported to Manager Gabby Street of the St. Louis Cardinals, training at Bradenton, looking fit, but there is no telling how his legs will stand up under the grind of the actual playing season. He wants to play second base as he used to do, when he drove the Cardinais to the world cham- pionship in 1926. As far as the scales are concerned, Hornsby looks as if he could play 154 games with- out taking a lay-off. But his fate will be decided by the strength of his legs. In 1930 Hornsby, then second baseman of the Cubs, managed by Joe McCarthy, suddenly became crippled. An operation on one of his heels to remove a “Spur” was necessary and his absence from the team had something to do with the loss of the pennant. Succeeding McCarthy as leader, the Rajah tried to cover his old ition with only fair results, and year he took part in less than a dozen games because he was overweight and had lost his speed. Hornsby apparently was headed for oblivion after being removed from the management of the Cubs last August. He had been ruined financially and was extremely un- popular with most of the club owners and league officials with whom he had clashed. In despera- tion he turned to Branch Rickey, h“e? president of the Cardinals, for p. Although he had crowded Rickey out of the management of the Cardinals and had demanded his dismissal from the employ of the club, Hornsby quickly was forgiven. Rickey generously gave him a $10, 000 contract and a chance to re- deem himself, both as a player and a man. So Hornsby now is work- ing like a Trojan to reward his benefactor. Rhode Island Avenue 145-pound quints will tangle in a second round battle. OLLING FIELD and Bureau of In- vestigation will play tonight at 8:30 o'clock on the Bolling Field floor in a Government League contest that will have a strong bearing on second half laurels.
