S NORTH AND SOUTH TRADE PIN SHOTS Classic at Arcadia Must Share Spotlight With Other Attractions. FTER a week of cap pistol fire in the National Duckpin Bowling Congress champion- ships, the cannonading and bombing of the big guns of the game rocked the Arcadia today and the racket won't cease until late tonight. Singles and doubles were being rolled this afternoon and the teams, men’s and women'’s, will take over the drives tonight, starting at 7:30 o'clock with a squad of 16 fair quints !rom\ half a dozen cities. ‘Throughout the day and night me‘ program, the first heavy one since | the tournament opened a week ago, promises to smack of a civil war, with two of the strongest factions hailing from New England and Vir- ginia. A third strong delegation comes from Baltimore, featuring such mighty maple maulers as Ray Von Dreele, Ray Barnes, Wilmer Robey, Doc Pickus, Meyer Jacobson and sev- eral pioneers in Harry Brauer and Chris Grahsm. Other Events Listed. HE field is dotted, too, with Wash- ington stars, but none of the| Capital’s high-ranking teams is down for action. They will be fea- tured on closing night, next Saturday, along with the Connecticut Blue Rib- bons and Connecticut Yankees, ace quints of New England. | At that, the tournament at the Arcadia must share the spotlight to-| night.

Still another attraction, at the Lucky | Strike, starting at 7:30, will be a| singles battle between Norfolk's illus- trious star, Ida Simmons, and Billie Butler of the Bill Woods, who gave Ida a three-set trimming several weeks ago in Norfolk, topping the Virginia maid in teams, singles and doubles, N.

By the Associated Press. AMBRIDGE, Mass., March 30. —Although Michigan's well- balanced tank force seems as- sured of a successful defense of its national collegiate A. A. team championship, most of the honors in the twelfth annual meet at the Har- vard pool musi be awarded to Jack Medica, the University of Washing- ton’s one-man feam. Michigan, with 13 crack swimmers at its call, piled up the almost unbeat- able total of 26 points yesterday, when 6 of the 11 =vents were decided, but none of the Wolverine swimmers could | | Tourney to Be Completed compare with the speedy Medica, who set & new world record of 18:59.3 for the 1,500-meter free-style swim, then defended the second of his three indi- vidual N. C. A. A. titles, the 220-yard free style, with a meet record-smash- ing victory. While registering his double, which gave the Huskies 10 points and a sec- ond place tie with the five-man Iowa team, Medica twice trouced his great- est rival, Jinmy Gilhula of Southern California. Coast Stars Meet Again. EDICA and Gilhula will meet again today in the 440-yard free-style race and the Wash- ington boy, one of the greatest swim- mers in college ranks, is expected to defend that title in the same impres- sive fashion. The two other defending titlists were successful in yesterday’s opening events. Charlie Flachmaan of Illinois gained the 50-yard ‘free style in easy fashion and Michigan’s 300-yard med- ley relay trio set a new meet record of 3:01.8 while defeating 13 rival com- binations in a race that calls for backstroke, breaststroke and free style. Only 9 of the 37 representing al- most every section of the country were able to score in the first six events. In fourth place came Ohio State with 7 points; Southern California, thanks to Gilhula, followed in a tie with Illinols with 6 points; Yale, the East's strongest bet to stop Michigan, followed with 5 points; Columbia fin- ished the first day’s competition with | g 3 and Harvard, host to this meet for the first time in five years, when its magnificent pool was dedicated, scored 2 GOLF WIN IS ONE-SIDED.

C.,, March 30.— Led by Paul Runyan, who yes- terday won the North and South open tournament, tour- ing professionals of the Winter golf campaigns today headed southward for more money events at Atlanta and Augusta, Ga. The diminutive P. G. A. title holder bagged the Pinehurst crown with a 72-hole score of 276, the lowest in the 33-year history of the tournament, and had seven strokes to spare in drawing down first prize money of $1,000. Serafin Is Second. ECOND place and $700 went to Felix Serafin of Scranton, Pa., who showed a 284, while Henry Picard of Hershey, Pa., built his Win- ter earnings to $4,700 in taking $500 and third place with a 285. Runyan, trailed on his final round by a gallery of several thousands, closed his consistent performance with a 68 after having required a 72 during the morning. His 276 was eight under par. Other leaders, their scores and win- nings were: Ray Mangrum, Los An- geles, 286 and $400; Harry Cooper, Chicago, 287 and $300; and Jimmy Hines, Garden City, N. Y.; Bobby Cruickshank, Richmond, and Victor Ghezzi, Deal, N. J., each with 288 for $175. Picard, leading money winner of the Winter circuit, received word from his home club that he would be entered in the British open. PR ST BASS BILL DEFEATED Maryland Rejects Measure Aimed to Stop Sale of Fish. ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 30 (P).— The “black bass” bill, designed to prevent the sale of the fish in the State, was defeated by the House of Delegates, when a favorable report of the Fish and Game Committee was rejected by a vote of 67 to 37. The bill was laid on the table. The measure also would have made it unlawful to catch any species of black bass, except by angling, during the open season, including July, August, September and November. BOUT EXCITES LONDON German Promoter Seeks Consent to Stage Heavy Go. LONDON, March 30 (#)—London’s sporting circles buzzed with excite- ment over the possibility of a world heavyweight championship fight at the White City Arena between Max Baer and Max Schmeling. The arrival of Walter Rothenberg, German promoter, to seek home of- fice permission to stage the big bout here in August spurred interest which was reflected by front page storles in the newspapers.

By the Associated Press. ONDON, March 30.—The fall that was heard around the world—Jockey Gerry Wilson's tumble from Golden Miller in the ninety-seventh running of the Grand National—brought an after- math of raging controversy today. The Daily Express precipitated the argument with an eight-column front page series of six photographs. They showed Golden Miller, the hottest favorite in Grand National history, taking the jump where Wilson fell, thereby putting the 1934 winner out of the race and wrecking the hopes of thousansd who had wagered mil- lions on Golden Miller to win. The photos showed Dorothy Paget's 3-to-1 betting choice made a perfect “four-point” landing, without lurch- ing, then dashed along the straight- away while Wilson rolled along the ground. “Golden Miller didn't fall, he ‘re- fused,’” the Daily Express quoted Wilson as explaining to Trainer Basil Bri.scoe “I felt there was something wrong.” “Whatever it was,” the paper added, “ijt must have been momentary, for Golden Miller will run again today in the champion chase at Liverpool. Wilson, however, will not be in the saddle.” Wilson Gives Explanation. HE daily express said it was in- formed by Briscoe that “two veterinarians examined Golden Miller last night and found nothing wrong with him.” Wilson later amplified his explana- tion of the tumble, telling Sporting Life: “I found the Miller going short on his off-leg during the race. After passing Valentine's Brook (one of the jumps) he seemed to fall lame be- fore reaching the next fence. He didn't actually fall, but blundered into the obstacle and shot me out of the saddle.” This statement, added Sporting Life, fairly mystified Briscoe and Harry Beasley, who has ridden Golden Miller over the Grand Na- tional course many times. The Morning Post quoted Wilson as OR THE first*time since 1925, boxing will be held at Fort| Myer when 28 of the standout | Meet Benning. battle tonight in the new riding hall for the right to represent this sector ringinen in the 3d Corps Area | in a team match with the Fort Ben- | ning, Ga., team.

HE suggestion that something was amiss with the favorite, the Post continued, left Trainer Briscoe “incredulous.” British bookmakers admittedly were faced with ruin had Golden Miller | won yesterday’s race. Trevor Wignall, | Daily Express sports authority, esti- mated that Golden Miller’s failure to win saved the bookmakers £2,000,000 (about $9,600,000). ‘The bookmakers' position became | critical after Flamenco had won the | Lincolnshire Handicap Wednesday. Flamenco and Golden Miller were backed heavily by doubles players to win the Lincolnshire and Grand Na- tional, respectively. At that time it was said that scores of the country’s oldest and richest commission houses were faced with bankruptcy should | Golden Miller win at Aintree.
