14 Old Liners in Quandary Over Ring Team: Commissioner Allen Tough PROBLEMS MANY IN FILLING GAPS Loss of Two Aces Not Only Troubles—C. U. May Find Tartar in Plaid. P Washington’s biggest college boxing season, Maryland and Catholic University undergo their final preparatory tests this week with the Terrapins’ unmarred record hang- ing in balance and the Cardinals fac- ing what may be a surprise package. With Ivan Nedomatsky and Lyman McAboy out of the line-up with broken hands, Maryland's hopes of victory over Army Saturday at the Ritchie Coliseum appear to hinge on the lightweight fight, which usually is capably handled by Nedomatsky. If the lightweight reserve—who will be Tom Birmingham, regular 125-pound er; Dick Babcock, chief understudy to Nedomatsky, or Walter Webb, 145- pounder—can come through, Mary- land’s chances of facing Catholic Uni- versity on March 11 with an unde- feated record will be much brighter. Catholic University's boxing bri- gade, which originally was slated to face Duquesne Saturday at Brookland, was accorded no favor, it seems, when Carnegie Tech was booked to replace the Dukes after the ring sport was abandoned at Duguesne. With two undefeated battlers in the line-up, Carnegie is ranked as one of the lead- ing contenders for top honors in the Eastern Intercollegiate ~Conference tournament. OINTING to their own ring classic that, will wind up Army Ts Experienced. VEN with the undefeated Nedo- | matsky and McAboy in the ring, Maryland figured to have its troubles with Army, but regard- less of who substitutes for the injured stars it now is likely the Cadets will reign favorites. The West Pointers, exceptionally strong in the lighter weights, will present a team made up entirely of seniors and juniors—first and second classmen in Army’s style of labeling the future generals. Only one ringster, Carroll Bagby, 155-pounder, wasn't either a regular or a reserve last year, and to clinch his job on the team he won over Jack- son Gray, who had been a regular until last week’s bout with Harvard In Bill Beard, 115-pounder; John Dick. 125-pounder; Bill Meany, 135- pounder; Bill Connor. 143-pounder. and Bob Stillman, heavyweight, the Army will present what is expected to be its strongest battlers. Other Gadet regulars are Kent Parrott, 165- pounder, and Russell Janzan, 175- pounder. Jimmy Young, as usual, will fight for Maryland in the 115-pound divi- sion, but Young is the only boxer certain of the niche he will occupy. There is a possibility that Birming- ham will be moved up to the 135- pound class if Babcock, who is cur- rently attempting to make up scho- lastic difficulties, fails to reach the academic standard. If Birmingham 15 moved up then Bill Waller. who was replaced by Birmingham, will take care of the featherweight assignment. Many Possibilities. NOTHER possible move in an at- tempt to fill the gap left by Nedomatsky is the shifting of Walter Webb from the 145 to the 135 pound class, which would result in the | use of Mortimer Schwartz, as the welterweight. If Webb is moved down and Schwartz is drafted, Mike Lombardo probably will fill McAboy's place as a 155-pounder, with Stewart | McCaw fighting in the 165, Johnny Gormley in the 175 and Al Farrell in the heavyweight bout. Should Far- rell be unable to compete because of his sore nose, the line-up probably would read: Young, Waller, Birming- ham, Webb, Lombardo, Hal Kelley, McCaw and Gormley in that order. I weight, and Capt. Eddie Kulesz, 155-pounder, Carnegie Tech will| present two undefeated scrappers, with Kulesz facing Catholic University's un- defeated Tom Oliver in what should prove the outstanding bout on the card. Wisnewski will battle Ruben| Miro in the 125-pound bout. Another ringster who has been show- | ing up well for the invading Plaid| team is Harry Krizman, a hard-hit- | ting 135-pounder. Krizman will tackle | Capt. Eddie Thibodeau. | Dutch Bergman, athletic director of | Catholic University, today announced that those who have bought season | tickets for the C. U. boxing show will | not have to exchange the Duquesne ducats, as they will be honored at the bouts Saturday. THINKS HE'S 600D FOR 100 BATTLES | Plaid Pair Unbeaten. (Continued Fr¢ home-town patronage against the | rise of the Red Sox. | Even though the Babe's playing | days are numbered, club owners be- lieve his mere presence in the Braves’ line-up will revive popular interest in the big fellow and attract atten- :x:m to his exploits in new surround- gS. He is assured a royal welcome on his return to Boston, where he was famous as a southpaw pitching ace of the Red Sox before being sold to the Yankees 15 years ago for $125,000. The Yankees made him the out- fielcer who set the major league record of 60 home runs in a season and who, at & peak salary of $80,000 a year in 1930 and 1931, earned double the pay of any other player. ‘Without the Babe, the Yankees and the Yankee Stadium—famed as “the house that Ruth built"—will seem like Hamlet without the Dane. His departure from the scene of his greatest triumphs may not affect the pennant chances of the club man- aged by Joe McCarthy, however. Cer- tain critics insisted last season that Ruth, on the field, was more of a handicap than a help because of his slowness. But to the hundreds of thousands who have swarmed into the huge stadium to see the big fellow on the pipe-stem legs propel the ball into the right-field bleachers—“Ruthville” to kids and grown-ups who idolized the slugger—it won't be the same.

By the Associated Press. | EW YORK, February 27— While the races for play-off | berths in the National Hockey League's post-season struggle for the Stanley Cup are far from be- | ing decided, nominations for the berth as “the team to beat” have begun com- |ing in. | The latest addition to the list are the Montreal Maroons, who showed | undoubted strength last night when they whipped the New York Rangers, |3 to 1, and threw tne American divi- | sion race into an even greater tangle | than before. | | and the Boston Bruins' 5-0 triumph over the St. Louis Eagles, those teams went into a tie for the group lead a point ahead of Chicago, which was idle. i Maroons Are Durable. | HE Maroons, despite their weari- | ness from a long Western tour, : proved their fitness to meet the | three American division leaders and the high-flying Toronto Leafs on even terms by the decisive way they | whipped the Rangers. | _Despite the ragged play of most of | the contestants, speedy Marty Barry | and young Max Kaminsky had a big night for Boston against Kaminsky's old team. Each scored twice. The defeat put the Eagles on the | edge of mathematical elimination from the play-off race. If they win their six remaining games they can get only | one more point than the third-place | Montreal Canadiens already have. The Detroit Red Wings wound up in almost the same spot after a 3-2 set- back at the hands of the New York Americans. The Wings are 13 point; | behind Chicago, with eight games left, a barely possible 16-point gain. | CLOSES WITH VICTORY | Friends Beat Landon as Three Play Last Contest. | _Charley Busby, ace of the Friends School quint, along with Des Mackay, Charley Grant and Roger Davis, played their last basket ball game for that team yesterday when it closed a good season by walloping its old foe, Landon 32-16, on the Friends’ court.

HETHER the Washington City Duckpin Association needs a ranking committee or a statistician to select the 10 best bowlers of the season is being debated as the duckpin shooters await the appointment by President Harry Z. Greer or somebody to do the job. In its recent meeting, the associa- tion expressed the desire that averages be counted 60 per cent and tourna- ment and special match averages 40 in compilation of the rankings. If this system is followed, there should be no need for a committee. It would be a simple task for Secre- tary Arville Ebersole to gather the figures on the outstanding bowlers and arrange them in order. | system. League averages identical in size may differ greatly in value, as in the case of averages made on a circuit and those made on a single set of drives. In the instance of tournament play, it is more difficult to whang the headpin in the Howard Campbell or United States Sweep- stakes than it is in the Washington City Duckpin Association or Evening Star tournaments, Something to Ponder. (GAIN, does a season record for high game or high set carry so little worth as to be considered merely a boost in average? 2 It used to be that the District League champion and the winner of the Campbell sweepstakes were rivals for the No. 1 ranking, if the tourna- ment winner could- show a high average in the all-star league, or, put- ting it the other way around, if the league champion didn't fall down completely in the 'stakes. ‘These two competitions gave an | excellent gauge. The District League presented the toughest test of a bowler's ability in league play and the Campbell tournament brought out his worth as a performer under in- tense pressure. We don't recall any bowler having triumphed in both dur- ing the same season. . The city association is taking its cue from George Isemann, secretary of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress, who some time back gave up trying to weigh values and cut a Gordian knot with the 60-40 plan. “After all is said and done.” says Isemann, “one is likely to make fewer mistakes this way than in making | relative values a matter of judgment.” Still Another Question. HETHER scores made in na- tional tournaments should be considered in local rankings was another angle viewed by the as- sociation, this being held by some to be unfair, inasmuch as all the better bowlers can't afford to enter some of the national events. And there | are many who do not have the op- | portunity to compete in the big in- | tercity matches that direct so much attention to a comparative few, However, the association gives as a suggestion. not an order, that the Ranking Committee follow the 60-40 to make its selections there should be | some fancy dope slinging. The first annual Department Stores League Sweepstakes will be held Sat- | urday at the Lucky Strike, with at | least 50 expected to compete. Cash and a trophy will go to the winner, and priges will go to those who finish sec- ond, third and fourth. Washington A. & P. bowlers defeat- ed the Richmond A. & P. by 209 pins last night at the Lucky Strike, 2,882 to 2,673. S. Solem, with 609, and J. Mullican, 597, were outstanding in the victory.

ROD AND REEL T MAKES no difference whether you travel North or South in the Winter months, you will find both regions filled with its quota of fish- ermen. We all know of the many fine catches off the Florida coast, but now comes a report that fishing through the ice is a popular Winter pastime in Maine. Willis (Curley) Hamlin, game war- den at Mosehead Lake, reports more fishermen are turning out this Win- ter than for several years. The largest catch made in the Pine Tree State this season was a 163- pound lake trout, measuring 3 feet 1 inch in length. This big laker was caught near Deer Island by Harrison Cole, 17-year-old youth from Green- ville, Me. He used a half-pound sucker for bait. Warden Hamlin reports that the snow trains from Bangor and Green- ville are not restricted to skiers, snow- shoers and skaters. Many fishermen are now patronizing snow trains and fishing through the ice has ihus be- gun a new phase of snow train activ- ity in Maine, Athough lake trout bite abcut as well in the Winter as in the Spring, eompnntti;ely‘ few T;:.lmun are taken e ice. e largest salmon taken at Moosehead this Winter was 8 S5-pounder.

This attitude has no little to do with his success on the golf course, for how are you going to down a fellow who thinks he can hole a 20-foot putt, and sometimes does? But over and above that favorable mental attitude, the man from Mis- sippi is a_considerable shotmaker. He wields a 15-ounce driver with all the finesse of a top-notch pro handling one of 14 ounces and around the putting greens he is rank poison. He has done such stunts as playing Burning Tree in 75 strokes, playing the last nine in 36, finishing with a brace of 6s, and he has had inspired streaks of golf that have given genial Pat Harrison another gray hair or two to add to the thinning locks of the statesman from Ol' Miss'. And above all of that Allen is a darned good guy to play golf with, a fellow who is a tough competitor, but one who makes you like him and the way he plays. He and Pat Harrison gamble a little bit on golf (they play together most of the time) and they settle up on the first of each year. No one will ever know how much changed hands on January 1, 1935, but at a guess we should say the edge was in favor of Allen. And they quietly poke fun at each other in the time-nonored fashion that old golf cronies have. Give Each Other Razzing. J T LOOKS a little slow, Pat,” George will say as Pat squares away on a 30-foot putt. All the time he knows the green is like greased lightning. And Pat does the same to George. They know what it is all about ard how little attention to pay to the other fellow’s kidding. The era of golfing District Commis- sioners came in back in 1908 with Henry Litchfield West, a fairly good player and at that time president of the Columbia Country Club. J. Thil- man Hendrick of Columbia carried on the tradition, but he couldn't hold a candle to Allen. Sidney Taliaferro carried it on with his golf at Wash- ington and Chevy Chase, but Allen probably could give Taliaferro 10 strokes and beat him. Allen is the best of the line of golfing Commis- sioners, and he wouldn't be any set- up in any golf match for anyone. ILLNESS DETAINS KLEIN.
