% DOWNS' SLEUTHS INOPENER,6T03 | U. S. Bigwigs Among 5,000 to See Lid Lifted by Government Loop. BY BURTON S. HAWKINS, NDICATIONS that sandlot base ball will reach its rightful place this season in the hearts of local sports enthusiasts clearly was evident yesterday when more than 5,000 fans turned out to watch the N. R. A. nine win, 6-5, after mmlngI back a strong bid from the Bureau of Investigation in the inaugural game of the United States Govern- ment League on the East Ellipse diamond. Attorney General Homer S. Cum- mings, J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Bureau of Investigation; Clyde ‘Tolson, assistant director; Undersecre- tary of the Treasury “Chip” Robert, B. J. Carroll, jr. administrative as- sistant of the N. R. A., and Joe Judge, ‘Washington Senators’ first baseman for many years, were among the honor guests to see Joe Freschi, Blue Engle second sacker, break up the ball game with a sharp single to left in the last | half of the ninth inning with two out, | scoring Pepco Barry, who had walked. | Champions Given Workout. R. A, sporting what probably is N . 8 District record with a string of more than 50 victories last season that won the Government | League pennant and District and | suburban titles, had as much competi- tion from the Sleuths yesterday as it will want this season. ‘The Blue Eagle outfit hopped into a one-run lead at the end of the sec- ond inning when Johnny Bozek, who; made athletic history at Georgetown | University, tripled to right to score | Freschi. The Sleuths came back in the first of the_ third, however, to knot the count when Taylor scored on a tap in front of the plate by Walter Morris. ‘Three hits and a costly wild heave past first base by “Ev” Russell, for- mer Tech High and George Wash- | ington University star, put the In- vestigators in front at 4-1 at the be- | ginning of the fourth session, but N.

Morris, who had seen Jim Tennant, formerly | with Albany of the International League, and Cody Shapiro fade be- fore him, singled to right to start the rally.

Terps and Tech Score in Relays Special Dispatch to The Star. HILADELPHIA, Pa., April 27.— Maryland and Tech High car- ried the colors of the District of Columbia to victory as the Penn rélays wound up here today. Each won an impressive relay triumph, Maryland captured the 1-mile class relay and Tech annexing the™ 1-mile high school relay championship. While the Old Liners’ quartet of Archer, Slye, Evans and Head- ley flashed to Maryland's second victory of the meet, scored over St. John's of Brooklyn and City College of New York, Terrapin rep- résentatives failed in other events. The half-mile team was withdrawn and Earl Widmyer, crack sprinter, ran fourth as he defended his 100 meters title. Shaded by Mercersburg in their bid ‘for the interscholastic 440- yard relay title yesierday, Tech came back with a victory in the fastest of the 19 high school mile relays, which opened the program. The team of Bogan, Emmerich, Hayden and Green was timed in 3!2!2 The same combination re- turned to try for the class B high school relay title, but succeeded only in helping George Washing- ton High of New York City to & new, record of 3:25.9.

Bert Gal- lia’s fine pinch-pitching was a big help to Washington. Pitcher Bob Shawkey for the Athletics allowed only six hits. Resclutes took the lead among class A teams in the City Duck- pin Association tourney. Fowler, Bell, Williams, Murphy and Far- row represented the Resolutes. Hans Wagner appears to have regained his old batting eye this year. Jim Thorpe, famous athlete, who has been with the New York Giants, may be released to the Jersey City team, it is reported. A great race looms for the 100~ yard scholastic dash in the Mary- land Agricultural College track meet soon to be held at College Park. The field for the century includes Hornsby, Tome Institute; Maxam, Western High; Brewer, St. Albans; Birthright and Mil- stead, Central High, and Chip- man, Baltimore Poly. MARYLAND EASILY WINS TWO EVENTS Routs Virginia Tech Nine, | 17 to 8, and Penn State Stickmen, 14 to 3. NIVERSITY OF MARYLAND'S base ball and lacrosse teams were handy winners yesterday at College Park, the dia- monders trouncing Virginia Tech, 17 to 8, and the stickmen walloping the Penn State ten, 14 to 3.

Maryland enjoyed a 10- run scoring rampage in the fifth inning, featured by seven straight hits, including a homer, two triples and a | double, and then coasted. The Old Liners stayed in the fight for national and sectional lacrosse honors with their decisive triumph over the Nittany Lions, which was| their third win in five starts. Mary- land scored at least three goals in every period, and led, 7 to 1, at half- time. Have Clouting Inning. EN Maryland runs were chased across the plate in the ifth. Sothoron singled and Stone- braker tripled, Harris retiring from the | mound. Bradshaw was greeted with triple by Nelson and a single by Mc- Aboy. Fittro replaced Bradshaw and Buscher out, but Sothoron got on by a two- | base error by Robinett. After Harten- | stein was caught at the plate on Stone- | braker’s grounder, Keller slammed a home run and Gormley filed out to end | the frame. In the sixth, Maryland executed a | triple play.

'UPERB relief pitching by Lanky Bill Tarver, recently recovered from a siege of 'flu, coupled with strong defensive work in the pinches, gave George Washington’s nine a 9-to-8 decision over West Vir- ginia University yesterday in Grif- fith Stadium. Shortstop Tim Staple- ton's single to center in the eighth drove in First Baseman Lefty John- son with the winning marker. Tarver, whose slim physique and 19 years are belied by a deep curve and a “hard one,” took the mound in the fifth with the Mountaineers leading, 8 to 6, after it was apparent | that Vinnie De Angelis, ace Colonial hurler, was off form. The visitors had pounded out 11 hits off De Angelis, some of them scratchy, however., Yields Only Two Hits. | VER the balance of the route Tar- O ver struck out five, left six run- | ners stranded and yielded only | two bingles—a scratch single in the sixth and a real triple by Pinch-Hit- ter Johnson in the ninth. Johnson was erased at the plate by Catcher Clarence Berg on a fine peg from Second Baseman Willlams, who came in fast to gobble up Wilson’s bounder. West Virginia's stickmen manufac- | tured two runs in the first and three each in the second and fourth, aided by two bad outfield errors which came with men ‘on bases. The Colonials | tied the count at 5-5 in the third | after driving Schilansky out of the box and deadlocked matters at 8-8 in the sixth at the expense of Morgan. | The latter's successor, Jack Gocke, who had defeated Georgetown on Fri- day. was charged with the loss. The victory gave George Wash- | turning in a triple play, the Old Liners | ington a .500 mark for the season to | sprinters | date—two wins in rour games.

BY ROD THOMAS. BRAHAM LINCOLN MONTE- VERDE, one of the sports marvels of the’ world, is com- ing from Los Angeles, Calif., to take part in the fourth annual Washington Star marathon for the National A. A. U. championship June 1. At 66 Monteverde still can cover | with ease the 26 miles 385 yards that \ constitute a marathon, but not with | speed. Most of the way from Mount | Vernon to the White House will be | a dog trot and a brisk walk for hin but, unlike many a hardy youngste: who starts the grind, he will finish it. At any rate, it is not on record that | Monteverde ever quit a race, and his Career as a runner spans 28 years. Monteverde has a twofold purpose in traveling 3,000 miles to Washing- ton. He is president of the Interna- tional Marathon Runners’ Association, which will hold its annual convention | in connection with The Star's race. The transcontinental journey will| wreak no financial hardship upon him. He is wealthy. His fortune was drawn from the delicate business of renovating ancient manuscripts and from & book bindery. He is not un- known to President Roosevelt. Started as Boxer. ONTEVERDE started his ath- letic career as a boxer, but | quit at the age of 17 to enter a book bindery. He didn’t train again until he was 38 years old. “I took up running to reduce,” he | explains, “and found I could run the marathon distance. I've been running or walking in active competition ever since. A marathon once in a month or two, with much shorter races sand- wiched in, is enough for most run- ners, but Monteverde once achieved almost the equivalent of running 79 marathons in 79 consecutive days In 79 days 10 hours and 10 minutes | N. hLe made it from New York to San Francisco and on some days negotiated close to 60 miles. It is an official A. A. U. record. Others may have covered that route in shorter time, but their records have not been cer- tified. Monteverde performed this feat | when he was 59 years old. Accom- panying him were two caretakers in an automobile. T a lot of blisters and bunions,” he tells you with a smile, “but it was worth all that and more. I Jjust wanted to prove to myself that T wasn't getting too old to run.” This from a recent newspaper interview. But Montey once told the writer the | real reason he made the long trek was to gratify an ambition of 50 years’ standing. At the age of 9 the desire hit him to cross the country on foot, nd not until a half century later could he afford it. Abraham Lincoln Monteverde is an exceptional man, indeed, but he is far, far from being an eccentric. His | knowledge covers a wide range and | is not shallow. Ditto his thoughts. He will give vou a clearly lomca] Teason for every unusual thing he has | done. His book on the transconti- | nental hike is almost a masterpiece of travel literature. It is leavened with finely put bits of humor and some of Monteverde's observations and descriptions are nuggets of writ- Journey Was Costly.

EACH SCORES TWO RELAY VICTORIES (Continued from page B-7.) 50 feet 2% inches, but even this fine | performance paled by comparison | with the exhibition feat of “Baby | Jack” Torrance of Louisiana State. No longer eligible for college varsity ,competmon Torrance was pursuaded to do his stuff for the crowd’s enter- | tainment and heaved the 16-pound ball 54 feet 5 inches, Anton Kishon, sophomore from | Bates College of Maine, broke no rec- | ords but proved himself an all-around ‘i(ar in the weight events by winning the hammer throw, at 167 feet 21, | inches, after previously winning the | discus. Kishon also placed fourth in the shotput. Willis Ward, Michigan's all-around Negro star, who captured the 110- meter high hurdles yesterday in rec= jord time, pulled a muscle in the trials of the 100-meter dash. He was forced to withdraw from the sprint but continued in the high jump and tied for third place at 6 | feet 2 inches. Charles Scott of Cor- | nell sprang a surprise in the high jump by tying Al Threadgill, Temple Negro star, at 6 feet 4 inches. Another versatile athlete, Henry | Little of William and Mary, carried off the javelin throwing honors with a winning toss of 205 feet 101; inches and then finished second to Peacock ln the broad jump with & leap of 24 feet 5 inches.
