F Te CRAYSTVEN EDGE P ke | gl coLLEANS | INRUNNING EVENTS Indians Strongest in Field Competition—New Records Friday Unlikely. HILE by no means con- ceding Tech victory in the public high !chooll‘ championship track meet Friday afternoon in Central Stadium, Mike Kelley, Eastern coach, figures the Gray should win. Central, last season’s victor, | is generally regarded out of the| title running. | Michael says Tech has too much strength in the running events and Cen- tral likely will hurt Eastern in the fleld tests, in which the Indians are the | strongest. | “We've got a few boys, though, who | may come through better than ex- pected,” said Kelley. “Anyway, we'll| be in there fighting until the last event. “Mike’s all wet,” said Hap Hardell, Tech coach, today, when informed of | Kelley's observations. “Eastern should | win the meet.” And that's the situation. Both Mike and Hap agree, though, that the competition between their teams should be close. 'THER figures there will be any record breaking. “The material here isn’t up to snuff this year,” says Mike. Tl be surprised if any records are broken.” | And if any marks are shattered, the | performances will, indeed, have to be noteworthy, as a perusal of the records below will show: Track Events. 100-yard dash—10 seconds, W.

RING WORK SLIGHTED AS M’LARNIN GOLFS| Corbett Not Disturbed Over Foe's Lack of Concern—Jimmy’s Sparring Is Weak. By the Associated Press. OS ANGELES, May 24—Young Corbett, 3d, world welterweight | champion, refuses to be disturbed | about the way his fistic opponent of | next Monday night, Jimmy McLarnin, | takes a bit of golf along with his train- ing for the 10-round title bout. “ Twice within a week McLarnin has | abondoned the ring for a round on| the links. Said Corbett: i “You wouldn't practice on the fiddle if you were seeking to become a great piano player? Well, that goes for golf -when you have a fight coming up.” McLarnin hasn’t taken his boxing chores very seriously—in public at least —in preparation for his title bout, which has the ringsiders sheking their heads. | His work against sparring partners has | been anything but impressive. Jimmy's answer to the question hbout work is that he has been training for five weeks; never gets very far out of | condition; and already is down to his | fighting weight. Corbett is down to 149, two pounds over the limit. NATION’S BEST RIDER T0 PILOT HEAD PLAY Humphreys Obtained by Mrs. Mason as Horse Reaches Scene of American Derby. HICAGO, May 24 (#).—Head Play, Mrs. Silas H. Mason's winner of the Preakness and runner-up in the Kentucky Derby, probably will be ridden by Lee Humphreys, the leading rider of the country, in the $25,000 | added American Derby at Washington | Park June 3. Mrs. Mason yesterday purchased Humphrey’s contract and the rider was | ordered to report without delay to Trainer Tom Hayes at Washington Park. Head Play reached the track yester- . Mr, Khayyam, winner of the Wood Memorial last Saturday, in which Head Play ran third, is expected at Wash- ington Park before the end of the week. FINISH THIS WEEK In Action on Only Two More Days After Ball Tilts To- day and Tonight. ( : College’s invasion today for base ball games with Maryland, at College Park this afternoon at 4 o'clock and George Washingfon at Grif- OLLEGE athletics for the year are about over. Washington fith Stadium tonight at 8 o'clock is one of the last splurges. George Washington has a tennis match tomorrow with Delaware, Georgetown will make a faint bid in the I C. 4-A. meet in Boston Friday and Saturday, while Maryland has a net contest with Delaware and lacrosse clash with St. John's at College Park the latter day. That will wind up the campaign. And of all the contests only the stick battle is exciting any real interest. HE Old Liners were picked to de- feat St. John's until the fleet Nor- | wood Sothoron, their leading de- fense player, was injured in the Hop- kins game last week and is out of Sat- urday’s battle. ured to be a 50-50 affair. Bob Snyder, who has been playing | cover point, has been shifted to Soth- oron’s job at second defense, with the Herman Ramsburg, a soph, who has had practically no varsity experience, taking Snyder's old position. John Mitchell, veteran reserve, also is in the running for cover-point job.. Both he and Ramsburg doubtless will be seen in the position Saturday. EORGE WASHINGTON'S game to- night will be preceded one hour | earlier by contests for bands and drum corps of Washington and vicinity, with proceeds of the entire affair going to the Natfonal Capital Civic Fund. The Chamber of Commerce is spon- soring the band and drum corps_con- tests, which will be directed by Lieut. Leon Brusiloff, leader of the 6th Ma- rine Reserve Brigade Band, and Gun- ner Horace Talbot, leader of the United States Marine Corps Band at Quantico, The judges are Capt. Wil- liam J.

Fighters Back | in Prelim Class. : e | \WO more ambitious Washington | ringsters today were faced with | the prospect of beginning anew | | the long, uphill fistic drives to- | ward feature bout and main-event | change. | Placed on top last night at Portner’s| Arena in an old-fashioned card of | “club” fighting, Henry Irving and Roy | Manley, local pugilists, absorbed sound thumpings at the hands of fiying fists of Ken Overlin or Norfolk and Lew Raymond of Baltimore in eight-round | scraps. | | | RVING, knocked flat for a count of | nine in the second round by Over- lin, managed to last the route and, had he chosen to throw more leather, might | have placed his Southern foe in serious trouble toward the end. Overlin tired Dbadly, but Irving never appeared to re- cover sufficiently from the second-round blow on the jaw and consequently fought warily. Manley, victor by a 55-second kayo over Ray Bowen, opened with a rush against the experienced Raymond, lead- ing Baltimore welterweight, but Ray- mond took all Manley had and dished out aplenty on his own hook. Both de- cisions were unanimous. | N a third eight-round battle Billy Strickler decisively outpointed Wal- ter Kirkwood in a rough, crude struggle. There were no knockdowns. Kirkwood substituted for Red Journee of Norfolk, who reported with a severely cut eye. ‘The only kayo on the card was pro- | duced in the six-rounder, which found | Harry Kershey flattening Billy Essinger. Chief Perry Knowles originally was slated to oppose Essinger, but the latter | tipped the scales at over 135, while Knowles weighed only 127. As & result | Knowles refised to go on. Kershey was | obtained and he held a five-pound ad- vantage over Essinger and a good bit | of reach. He tagged Essinger on the chin in the second round, knocking the | local boy cold: Referee Charlie Short | dispensed with the formality of count- | | ing Essinger out, so hard did he strike | the canvas. GALEANO PIGEON SCORES. A notable win was scored by the V. Galeano loft in a 325-mile pigeon S?ce. from Bristol, Tenn., to this city, held by the North East Junior Club. Gale-| ano's entry not only was the one-day bird, but was the first from any Wash- ington club flying from Bristol. The single-bird nomination also was won by ' Galeano. I | ) ROOSEVELT WOULD SPOIL TITLE HOPES Aims to Jolt Central Nine Tomorrow, Tech Monday. Eastern Victor. I E as its championship chances in the public high school race are concerned, but it has the opportunity of dealing body blows to the aspirations of both Tech, the pace-setter, and Central, which standing second, stili nourishes a faint hope for the flag. The Rough Riders are not particuiar- ly concerned whose chances they hurt, but they are determined to live up mi their name against both Central, to be‘ met tomorrow, and Tech, to be engaged | Monday in the series finale. As usual | the games will be played in the Eastern Stadium at 3:30 o'clock. i | | | OOSEVELT'S base brl team may be hopelessly in the ruck so far N Should Roosevelt trim Central, Tech | will win the flag, regardless of whether | Miller bows to Coach Lynn Wood-| % it, too, vorth’s charges. Should Central, though, best the Riders and the latter then should vanquish Tech, the Blue and the Gray would be tied for the series lead at three wins and one loss each and a play-off would be necessary. That| Roosevelt team really is in a position to be most annoying to both the leaders. ASTERN, which tied Central and Western for the championship last Spring, is assured of at least | third place in the current race. Coach Guyon's boys, socking the ball hard for the first time in the serles, clouted their way to an 18-8 win over Western yesterday, It was the final game of the set for both teams. Eastern finished with two wins and two_defeats and should Roosevelt defeat Central will tie the Jatter for second place. Western won one game and lost three and is fourth. However, Roosevelt, now last, can tie Western by winning one of its two re- maining games and by capturing both can deadlock Central and Eastern for second place. - The track meet between a team com- posed of those finishing first, second and third in the public high school games here Friday and the Navy Pleges, scheduled Saturday at Annapolis, has been canceled upon request of Naval Academy authorities. The ball game slated that day be- tween Tech and the Plebes, however, will be plaved. McKinley will be play- ing as the D. C. champion. While it has not actually won the title, it is an odds-on favorite. ASTERN slammed three Western pitchers for 21 hits, including three homers, three triples and four doubles in slaughtering the George- towners. The Red Raiders also wielded | their bats effectively, getting 12 bingles, but after the fifth inning were never in it. Western started strongly, scoring four runs in the first inning, but Eastern came back with one in its half, added five in the fourth and six in the sixth. It was a sleigh ride for the Injuns after that. Ready, Grimm and MacPherson, Western pitchers, all _were treated roughly, with Joe Mills, Fitzpatrick and Bassin socking with especial gusto.

ARRIN( inclement weather— something Promoter Josephus Turner happily has escaped in almost uncanny fashion during his brief career as a mat impresario— | Washington's fourth outdoor wrestling season will be launched tomorrow night under the Griffith Stadium arc lights. | A minor bit of mat history will be chronicled in grunt and growl annals when Ernie Dusek and Abe Coleman, the main-eventers, step into the ring. A tie streak which has reached the un- usual proportions of seven will be bro- ken in all probability. ‘The two have exhibited together no less than seven times, and in each in- stance draws have resulted. One, staged at the Washington Auditorium, resulted in a two-hour stalemate, Despite this seeming inability to reach & decision, one or the other probably will squash his foe tomorrow. A pair| of two-hour draws in a row just aren’t in order. TTRACTING at least as much in- terest as the main bout is a spe- cial preliminary involving Jim Mc- Millan and Evereit Marshall, and a semi-final which will find Rudy Dusek, nose tweaks with Dick Raines. | McMillan end Marshall figure to| draw, but some real action may be ex- pected. It smacks of a Teturn match to a finish some time this Summer. The Rudy Dusek-Raines affair is ex- pected to produce laughs galore. In a rough, more serious way, Rudy has es- tablished himself as a premier show-| man. Raines is mofe of the comical| type but no less interesting and tough. | ‘The prelims schedule Fred Grobmier and Nick Condos and Henry Piers and Vic Christy. ‘Turner’s policy this Summer will be; to continue to allow women with pay- ing escorts to witnes the matches gratis. Later on in the season a mosquitq or, two probably will go with every seat. IOLDIE AHEARN and his new fistic | protege, Chief Perry Knowles, | came in for quite a bit of com- | ment last night at Portner's Arena| when they refused to go through with' their six-rounder with Billy Essinger. Many condemned Knowles for refus- ing because he was outweighed by some 9 or 10 pounds. Others figured it 8 mistake in matchmaking and saw Knowles’ angle. Ahearn, however, offered a logicale sounding argument, based on years of ring_experience. “The fans don't realize how much weight 10 pounds is for a featherweight to give away. If my boy got knocked out by Essinger he would be a bum.” And as if to test Goldie's slant on the situation, Essinger consented to tackle Harry Kershey, five pounds heavier. Kershey knocked Billy kicke ing in two rounds. O more will be the familiar figure N of Dr. Ralph Wilson, originator of the nerve-pressing act around these parts, grace the rassiing ring. c declares he is throu game for good. Lo Wilson, a graduate of the University of Indiana and a bona fide sawbones, is starting a practice in Evanston, where his father and grandfather prace ticed medicine before him. He has béen in the mat game as a professional for five years. Actually a light-heavyweight, he always was ad- vertised as weighing anywhere from 204 to 208 pounds. In reality he weighed little over 175. During the last efght months, ace cording to Mrs. Ralph Wilson, Doc per= formed something like 50 major opera= tions while still performing on the mat.
