Potomac Coming Into Own as Playground : School Squads Eager for Outdoor Toil BIG SEASON AHEAD IN WATER SPORTS Washington Canoe Club Gets Open-Hearted With lis Memberships. BY R. D. THOMAS. EARLE WEEKS is on the ballyhoo for Old Man Po- o tomac. In case you don't know, Earle is president of the Washington Canoe Club, chairman of the District A. A. U. Swimming Committee, boss of the ‘Washington Water Polo Associa- tion—a sort of Kingfish, in short, of thlngs aquatic. And Earle is all exercised because he thinks Mr. Potomac is getting not nearly the attention he rates from a lot of folk to whom he would be a real friend. Spring is not far off and now is the time, quoth Earle, to jine the Wash- ington Canoe Club. But don't mis- take the spirit of that. Mr. Weeks isn’t putting on a membership cam- paign, as such. You must know this zealot of water sports to understand his invitation to sign up with a club he leads. No man we know is more of an altruist than A. Earle Weeks. He—and a lot of darned fine chaps assoclated with him at the Washing- ton Cance Club—are showing the ol’ Christian spirit. They have a good thing and want to share it. T'S this way, Earle speaking: “We've been thinking that some regular people of this town won't be able to pay the usual visits to sea- side places this Summer. I reckon most of us are curtailing budgets— and the urge to be near or on the wa- ter probably will be strong in them. “Well, we are recommending that they give Old Man Potomac a trial. You know, Washington seems never have realized the advantages of that iver. I doubt if any other bit of Mwater in the country offers as much Jopportunity for enjoyment—and, this is portant—at so little cost. I've often vondered why so many people overlook the Potomac as a Summer ?layzmund. Bome of 'em go hundreds of miles and spend many a dollar to get a lot less the Potomac offers. “DON'T get us wrong on the in- vitation to join our club. It's merely that we have more fa- eilities than we need and are willing to have others enjoy them. We're not out for financial help. I doubt it any other club in Washington is better off than ours in that respect. ‘We have quite a balance in the bank. “We have suspended the usual in- itiation fee for a time but our eligibil. ity standards will be rigidly enforced. To which we’ll add a word of our own. The Washington Canoe Club's | standard of membership is something | to boast about. It's a great crowd, seen from any slant.” With Weeks, Joe Aronoff (another | enterprising aquatics booster), the A. | A. U, and others on the job, it prom- | ises to be a big Summer on the Po- | tomac in a competitive way. Plans are | being made for the annual Public | Playgrounds and Parks Potomac River | championships, for which the beautiful | Bell trophies will be given in the canvas and recing canoe classes. OON after will come the District A. A, U. swimming champioships. wltn‘w the Washington Canoe Club as host, and these events will lead up to| the President's Cup 3-mile swim for the perpetual trophy put in compe- | tition by the late Calvin Coolidge. This | annual contest is becoming a national elassic. Early in the Summer the Washing- ton Canoce Club will hold its annual open regatta, which attracts crews from all the canoe centers in the East and Canads. Sycamore Island already is receiving | inquiries concerning its annual “can- | ‘vas canoe regatta. which for years has attracted the leading paddlers of the East. | ’I'}m Potomac Boat Club is shining up | its shells and sandpapering its oars | fo; a busy season. The Potomac | club canoelsts already are on the river | tuning up for several big distance races. The recent formation of a water polo 3eague indicates great activity in this wport during the Summer and plans ‘are in the making for some fast and furious dunking in front of the Wash- ington Canoce Club, with teams from Baltimore taking th> places of two teams now operating, composed of col- dege youths. Nearby Army and Marine outfits have begun to talk water polo, tco. So, all in all, it appears Old Man Potomac won't be slighted as much @s usual this Summer. LEHIGH TAKES MAT HONORS THIRD TIME Bcores 30 Points Against 22 for| Princeton—Only Two Champs of 1932 Repeat. By the Associated Press. N'!.'W YORK, March 18.—Lehigh Uni- | versity won the Eastern Inter-| collegiate Wrestling Association | championship for the third year in| succession tonight, scoring 30 points in | the two-day meet against 322 for| Princeton.

Only two of last year's champions were able to repeat, although four of them were on deck when the twenty- ninth annual meet started. Robert Dalling of Lehigh retained his 126- | pound crown and Kenneth Mann of Pennsylvania, last year’s 165-pound champion, captured the 175-pound title.

HOYAS' GOLF TEAM TOMAKETITLEBID Slattery Heads Formidable | Array for Collegiate League Play. EORGETOWN'S varsity golf team, now in the making, with try-outs scheduled just before the Easter holidays, is looking forward to the coming intercollegiate team schedule and the individual | championship with considerable elation. The Hilltop club swingers will have a strong team this year. No doubt of that, for they have lost only one of their 1932 aggregation and will have a couple of men who were freshmen last year, eligible for the 1933 com- petition. Joseph D. Lynch of Boston, one of the best golfers ever to attend Georgetown, is eligible for the team this year, to replace Lou Fisher, last year's captain. The team will be chosen from the following students: Lynch, Dan O'Brien, Joe Di Stefano, Walter Tynan, Dick McPartland, Bill Burns, Joe Galvin, “Cutly” Wochner., Jack Slattery and Dick Kreuzberg. Slattery, & senior, is to captain the outfit this year. Kreuzberg, who is a member of Indian Spring and one of its leading golfers, is the only local boy who appears to have a chance to make | the team. Five of the team members | played last year, so the Hilltop aggre- gation will be a veteran team with an- other year of competition behind them | by way of experience. IEORGETOWN'S initial match in the Eastern Intercollegiate Golt League will be played April 28, when the Hoya elub swingers meet Holy Cross and Princeton, N. J. They are scheduled to meet all the Eastern colleges who have entered teams in the league during the Spring. Joe Lynch is the same lad who finished with a bird 3 to cop the medal in the Army- Navy invitation tourney last Spring and’ later carried Harry Pitt to the| home hole before succumbing in the| opening round. Slattery is one of the outstanding golfers of all Georgetown golf history. He and Harry Pitt went extra holes in the Washington tournament of 1931. Kreuzberg plays Indian Spring be- tween 73 and 78 almost every time he starts. But the Hoya lads who look toward the individual intercollegiate championship will have one big hurdle to leap. That hurdle is Johnny Fischer, the University of Michigan junior, who won the title last year and was one of the bigger sensations of the 1932 national amateur championship. Johnny Fiacher looks to us to be the strongest golfer in the college ranks. JUNIOR FIVES IN FINAL McNichol-Firestones, Clark Lunch Survive Tri-State Play.

FEMININES TO STAGE CONFLICT ON COURTS Oklahoma Presbyterian College's| A. A U. Title Is Coveted by More Than 20 Teams. By the Associated Press. ICHITA, Kans, March 18—The | feminine basket ball wars, bring- ing conflict between States as ‘widely separated as Florida and Minne- | sota, begin here Monday afternoon with two former champions trying to wrest the title from the reigning Cardinals of Oklahoma Presbyterian College for ‘Women at Durant. Pairings for the Women's A. A. U. national tournament will be drawn to- morrow. Approximately two dozen teams, selected from a longer list of applicants, are entered in the basket ball mill which will wind up Priday night. Nearly every entrant is a State, regional or city champion. Heading the list of challengers to the Cardinals’ supremacy are the Dallas Cyclones, now bereft of Babe Didrikson, and the Wichita Thurstons, both of which have ruled the feminine basket ball world. ‘The Cardinals won the title from the Cyclones at Shre La. last ycar when the great Di still was in the amateur ranks. season the Cyclones bowed twice to the national champions, who have z‘fmflmIS’ nine.

By the Assoclated Press. LBANY, Ga, March 18—The “Joplin Ghost” is on his game again. Horton Smith, the slender blond professional who registers from Chicago, but learned his game in the Missouri Ozarks country, shelled this resort course with birdies today to score a 66, six under par, and take the first round lead in the Radium Springs 54-hole open golf tournament. On the comeback trail after two years marked with little success and in- jury, Smith today shot his best com- petitive round in several seasons. His accurate iron play and marvelous put- ting brought him eight birdies and he was above par on but two holes. Smith’s rampage started on the second | hole, where he made a birdie and fol- lowed with another on the short third. He wound up the first nine in 32 strokes, four under par. Three birdies on the way home brought him a 34, two under perfect figures for this side. Smith’s pitch shots were dead and his putts accurate. LTHOUGH a stiff wind swept the course, five players bettered par. In second place was Harry Cooper | of Chicago, with a 68, made through totals of 34 on each nine. Johnny Revolta, the young Menominee, Mich., sensation, held third place with 70. He started slowly with a 38 on the front nine, but came home in 32. Craig Wood of Deal. N. J., and Paul Runyan of ‘White Plains, N, Y., were tied for fourth with 71s. Runyan, playing his first full round on the layout, felt his way along to & 38 on the way out and returned in 33. Wood was erratic with his irons but made up for this with several long- distance putts. Wild Bill Melhorn of New York and Willie MacFarlane of Tuckahoe, ™N. Y., were bracketed with par 72s, while Dick Metz and Charlie Guest, both of Deal, N. J, had 73s. O professionals, Joe Ezar of St. and Roland Hancock of Stoneham, Mass, and Charles Yates, the Georgia amateur champion, had 74s. John Rouse of Chicago and Hugh Moore, the home professional, were a stroke behind with 75s. Tony Manero of Elmsford, N. Y., had a 76, while Prank Stevenson of Americus, Ga.. the Southeastern Professional Golfers’ Association title holder, had the same score ‘The final 36 holes of play for the $1,000 prize money will be held to- morrow.

IG and strong, but never born to be a fighter—that fits the case of Homer Smith pretty well. A Michigan boy who began his fight- ing career in the Navy and when he turned pro in 1914 knocked out three opponents within a month, Homer looked good enough to be classed as a budding heavyweight and for a time he was one of the most discussed prospects in the ranks. Victories by the knockout route over Kid Herman, Art Watkins, Jim Henderson, Sailor Jordan, Mike Schreck, Sandy Ferguson, Battling Williams, Al Benedick, Jack Taylor, Terry Keller and others indicated that in Homer the Middle West had a fighter who might reach the top, I_SMER SMITH. but his early showing was mislead- ing, for he soon proved that he had what is commonly known as a glass jaw, and once that weakness was discovered he was a mark for most of the good boys whom he met. He then became the leading trial horse in the country and remained classed as such until his retirement in 1926 to enter business. He shifted from fighting to real estate, and today, unlike most professional box- ers, he is well off financially, his real estate venture in Kalamazoo having proved lucrative. In his last two years of bnx!ns he was stopped by Harry Greb, Billy Miske and Bryan Downey. (Copyright, 1933.) 9| ships. STAR, WASH D.. C, MARCH 19, 1933—PART FIVE. Sets Ringer Mark To Retain Crown By the Associated Press. IAMI, Fla, March 18.— Blair Nunamaker of Cleveland, Ohio, today successfully defended his world horseshoe-pitching champion- ship by defeating the Canadian champion, Alphonse Deillargeon of Montreal, in six straight games. The scores were 50-9, 50-16, 50-22, 50-9, 50-8 and 50-5. Nunamaker also set a world rec- ord for scoring ringers, with 198 out of 264 shoes for a percentage of .752. The previous record was .731, held by Charles C. Davis of Cleve- land, who was national champlon in 1928. . Nunamaker won the title in 1929 at St. Petersburg, Fla. SYRACUSE BOXERS EASILY KEEP TITLE | Win Four Championships, Get 27 Points Against 12 for Nearest Foes. By the Assoclated Press. TATE COLLEGE, Pa, March 18. | —Syracuse University walked | away with the tenth annual Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing | Association champlonships tonight and carried with it four individual titles. In gaining its second team champion- ship in as many years, the Orange | scored more than twice as many points | as any rival, running up a total of 27, | against 12 for Army and Western Mary- | 1and, 11 for Penn State, 6 for Yale and ' 4 for Massachusetts Tech. Dartmouth, the other college represented, failed to break into the scoring. All three defending champions re- tained their titles tonight. Syracuse offered two of these in the persons of Al Wertheimer, skillful featherweight, and Joe Moran, clouting middleweight. Wertheimer won the 125-pound crown through the default of his final round opponent, Pete Clainos of Army, who suffered & broken thumb in the semi- finals last night. Moran, one of the hardest hitters in college ranks, stopped John Shinkle of Army in the second round for his_twenty-seventh knock- out victory in 31 college engagements. HE third defending champion, Capt. Johnny McAndrews of Penn State, knocked out Jack Robbins of Syra- cuse in the first round of the 135-pound finals. McAndrews and John Napoleon of Penn State, who outpointed Ray | Burket of Syracuse in the 115-pound ! final, were the only boxers able to stop Syracuse’s six finalists. Tony Balash, in the 165-pound class, and Joe Vavra, in the heavyweight division, completed the Orange’s four individual champion- Nicholas Del Genio of Yale won the 145-pound crown and Bernard Kaplan of Western Maryland the 175-pound championship.

Three of his| youngsters, Vaughn, Piet and| | Grace, came slashing through like win- ning veterans. If this trio holds up | Pittsburgh is almost certain to run 1-2, ! | no matter what the luck. | It isn't so often that a ball club | can find one star youngster ready for | the kick-off. To get three in one year | is an unusual tun. In place of slip- ping, the three mentioned should be even better in 1933 than they were in 1932, through the experience they have gained under heavy fire. The job of beating Pittsburgh will be one of the hardest in the league. For example, last season when the |campaign opened Ray Kremer and Steve Swetonic were counted upon as | two of the most dependable pitchers. Kremer ran into a rash of neuritis and Swetonic picked up a bad arm around | midseason, so Gibson got far less value from these two than he had counted on. If Kremer and Swetonic are any- where close to their former standard the Pirate outlook will be even brighter than the fairest of these California dawns. = In addition to these two, Larry French, leading pitcher of the club last season, again in fine shape. Also there are Heine Meine, Chagnon, Bill Harris and Bill Swift. Gibson, who is a fine hand to develop young pitchers, also is banking on Hal Srhith and Ralph Birkofer, from Kansas City, who has shown him a lot of stuff this Spring. S of the Pirates all along the line. In young Grace they have a high- class catcher. There are at least six dependable pitchers in sight and a chance of one or two more. The infleld, with Suhr at first, Plet at second, Vaughn at short and Tray- nor at third, has a fine balance of both offensive and defensive strength. There may be better third basemen in the game today than Ple Traynor, but you could not make a lot of people believe it. He will pass along into base ball history as one of the greatest of all time. From this point we move to the strongest factor in the Pirate line-up. This is where the field artillery is wheeled into action, with the two Waners and Freddie Lindstrom. !v:.:y?h o mnn'. m‘w—- a speed, fine c:enlznnve skill, hard-hitting All-around Strength.

But as the situation now stands they will not only not be able to compete in the coming tournaments, but it also looks as if their own big event of the year—the Interdepartmental championship—will be canceled. ‘The reason for all the gloom is the furlough or payless leave situation, and the prospect that additional pay cuts will come the way of the employes of your Uncle Samuel's many workshops sca tered throughout the National Capital. | have little time or inclination to branch | M*rines As explained by one of the most ardent tournament golfers in the ranks of the government workers, the matter stands like this: Government employes are re- quired to take varying amounts of fur- lough leave during the year. Ruling is THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RI that a well-rounded ball club has s lot of stuff to offer in every department of e game. I think, also, that you can bank on Pittsburgh for more than its share of speed. Gibson Big Factor. NOTHER factor upon the Pirate outlook is George Gibson. One of the smartest catchers in base ball, he today is one of the smartest of the managers. He not only knows how to develop young talent, but also how to handle men. Gibson does not conceal the fact that he expects his club to be right ‘in the middle of the fight, with a fine chance to win. His only two worries at pres- ent are Kremer and Swetonic, his ex- perienced right-hand pitchers, who, in even fair condition, should be good for at least 20 games each. Gibson admits that if these two are ready to step in and take their turn, his worries will be entirely over. The ’bucklln(-up that struck Pitts- burgh last season, when the team was in front, is hardly likely to happen again. As Paul Waner puts it: “It was just one of those times where nothing we did could possibly go right for three or four weeks, but I don’t think you will see anything like that happen again.” You can put Pittsburgh down as the team to beat. Any rival outfit that can finish in front of Gibson's Pirates is good enough to win a pennant. ‘Wagner on the Job.

McGraw has rated him the greatest ball player of all time. Gibson says that Wi 40, still was the greatest shortstop and he still was romping all over the fleld at the age of 43. T believe you'll find thousands of fans pulling for Pittsburgh this season on account of the erstwhile “Flying Dutch- man.’ This old-timer gave millions series of thrills for over 20 years.

To go a step further the pro- | | posed Federal Country Club, Government service 16 months ago, is dead issue today, for what with pro- spective further pay cuts, the furlough | leave situation, and possible reduction | of force with the proposed departmental | consolidations, Uncle Sam's workers | out. | Al in all, that large sector of Wash- | ington's golfing population who earn their bread and butter in the Govern- ment_service face the 1933 golf year | | with lengthy faces and little prospect of competitive play. A list of seven big| tournaments in this area is more than likely to find them reading the news- papers for what happened rather than creating the news themselves. What appears as the best competitive season since 1931 probably 1 find them lacking in time to play. Meanwhile the professionals, sensing | & loosening of purse-strings by the majority of golfers, are looking for their best season in two years. All of them visualize the year 1933 as one of re sumption of normal golf activity. With prices on golf balls and golf clubs and other equipment sharply reduced, the pros are not far wrong. It does look ike a good year. complete schedule of events for the 1933 season of the Kenwood Golf and Country Club is in the making and will be approved by the Golf Com- mittee this week. At the same time the committee will announce the dates for the 1933 Natlonal Capital open tourney. This event, the outstanding | professional tourney of the year around | Washington, probably will be held dur- | ing the first week in October, in order to insure better weather than was the case during the first two tourneys staged by the club. Out at Rock Creek Park workmen are busy completing the tee reconstruc- tion program embarked upon by Mana- ger B. Harry Graham. All the teul have been sodded and the course now is in prime condition for the season. 'HEN D. C. Gruver and V. C. Dickey, those inseparable golf enemies of the Washington Golf and Country Club get together, look out | for fireworks. The two, now in the midst of a schedule of 50 matches, have played 17 of these contests and are ex- actly even. Their latest match was typical of the scrapping qualities that both men show when pitted against each other. Gruver was 1 up at the turn and won the tenth hole. He came home in 37 strokes and yet lost & hole to_Dickey. On the final hole with the match all square Gruver reached the edge of the green in two. Dickey, after a short second shot, pitched up 4 feet away. Gruver made a weak chip, 10 feet short. Yet both holed their putis to halve, and neither putt was easy. They are a pair of scrappers.

Play in the public_high ‘school title series opens April 25, when Eastern and Roosevelt face. It appears now that the fight for the public high crown will lie among Central, Eastern and Western, which | last vear tied for the title. The big | problem of all three is to develop cng:ble pitching. prep school circles there again is | somewhat of a curtailment of base ball | activities, with Gonzaga not represented on the diamond for the first time in a decade and other schools, which have | idled in the sport the last few years | continuing inactive. Much intramural action is in order, however, and, all in all, the grand old game is st very much alive among schoolboys in this | section. N track the Central, Eastern and Tech squads have begun work and, while there is cinderpath activity at sev- eral other schools, these three are the only ones going in for it seriously. Cen- | tral seems likely to win the public high title meet again the latter part of May, | but Eastern may give the Blue Streaks more of a fight than generally is ex- pected. Tech is figured to get the most out of & few capable boys, but in no event is expected to finish better than third in the meet. Tennis seems to be in for a big sea- son, with competition planned again in the public high series and in the prep school league. Many matches outside the loops are booked. Western and Central again are expected to rule the public nigh whirl, with the former, a many-time victor, likely to take the | crown once more. Central, though, has . many vets. Eastern may have no team. Georgetown Prep has high hopes of as- serting its supremacy again in prep school ranks. Landon is going in for l!en.nu on a real scale this year. Golf, constantly growing in popularity among the scholastics hereabout, is ex- pected to have the biggest season it ever has had here. Most of the insti- tutions have teams. Central has planned a long lacrosse schedule and considerable rifle activity is carded for the schools. S8pring foot ball and boxing, however, soon will be washed up. 'RIENDS, one of the few prep schools to string along with the grand old | game on a varsity basis, has its base | ball squad at work, and Coach Charles Wannan figures to develop & creditable nine. Seasoned players available include Robert Perkins and Henry Clarke, pitch- ers; Charley Bushby, catcher and third | baseman; Leonard May, first base; Pat Hayes. second base, and Charles White and Des Mackey, outflelders. A lower - school team also will be formed, In tennis Leroy Eakin, Mike Hayes d Henry Clarke are on hand at Friends as a nucleus. The make-u | the remainder of the team is matical. Base ball is largely an intramural ac- | tivity at Landon, though the younger | students will have a nine. Most of the iboy!‘ though, will play ‘tennis. Dwight Collins, former Yale netman, is in gen- | eral charge of tennis activities and or- | ganization of some half dozen teams is planned. The idea is to have a varsity combination in the Prep School League and another in outside matches, a_junjor | varsity to play a regular schedule and le- . | other teams, P. L. Banfield, the school's headmaster, has offered & cup to the winner of an elimination tournament to be conducted among the youn, s or those below the third form. © o ANDON, which fared rather well in basket ball, winning its share of games and losing several by only narrow margins, will have to get along next Winter without Bill Larimer and | Bill Baker, forwards, and Rene Martinez, guard, who are listed to graduate. Clarence Becker, center, captain and high scorer of the team, and Charlie | Slaughter. guard, however, are listed to return, Slaughter suffered a knee in- jury and was out of the game three weeks and, strangely enough, Becker was hurt in the very first game in which | Slaughter played after his recovery, and | Becker also was forced to the elines for three weeks, Tom Clagett, who stands 6 feet 51, inches. is expected to land the center job.
