HE Heurich Brewers and Old Manhattan Beer diamonders will square off next Sunday in the first of a three-game series to decide the champlonship of the National City League. The Brewers won the right to face the section B title holders yesterday by trouncing Shady Grove, 12-3, to gain the section A title. Otts Zahn, Tommy Thompson, Huck Stahl, Ev Russell and Fee Col- lier paced the batting barrage that nicked the offerings of Giggles Adair and Frank Baroni for 19 hits, each collecting three or more safeties. Thompson smashed one of the long- | est home runs in local sandlot history, driving the ball from the East Ellipse fleld to within a few feet of the side- walk on the west side of the circle. Behind the four-hit twirling of An- derson, George's Radio nine swamped West End Laundry, 15-2, thereby gaining a tie with Simpson's Phar- macy for first place in the National City Junior League second half pen- nant chase.

ERKELEY, Calif, September 21.—From the finest talent assembled in many years, California is building a 1936 foot ball team which some followers believe is due to renew Rose Bowl con- tacts not enjoyed since 1929. Coach Leonard (Stub) Allison has man power of high quantity, as well as quality. The overflow after the final 47-man varsity squad has been selected would gladden the heart of many a mentor. Backs run five and six deep in a range from the race horse type to line crashers’ of first rating. The only problem in the line is to sift out the four best men for each posi- tion. Herwig Is Star Center. 'HE line will average over 180 pounds to the man. Opposition trying to go down the middle will meet Bob Herwig, & 210-pounder, who many ranked last season as the Coast's best center. Ball-carrying duties will fall mainly to Floyd Blower, a triple-threater, and to George Cornell, rated at this time by Coach Allison as the best back on the fleld. Last year's freshman squad con- tributed a great punter in Lute Ades. | The schedule: September 26, California Aggles and College of the Pacific, (double-header) October *, St. Mary's; 10.

ETTORE DECLARES HELL KAYOLOUIS But Wise Coin Goes on Joe at 3-1—Promoter Sees Crowd of 50,000. By the Assoclated Press. HILADELPHIA, September 21.— Training chores complete, Philadelphia’s blond Al Ettore loafed in his nearby Clemen- predicting that he’ll finish Joe Louis by a knockout, come Tuesday night. While workmen put finishing touches on the Municipal Stadium, | where Jack Dempsey lost his heavy- weight crown to Gene Tunney just 10 years ago, both adversaries took things easy in their New Jersey camps, prepared to move into Philadelphia for the weighing-in ceremonies at about noon tomorrow. They went through final sparring sessions yes- terday. Louis, at Pompton Lakes, N. J., is- sued his customary forecast of victory, and he had with him the wise money, quoted currently at about 3 to 1 in his favor. Equally emphatic were the argu- round in which the Brown Bomber would topple the bouncing blond. { Confident of Big Gate. i REGAR.DLESS of the outcome, Co- promoter Herman Taylor was * JOF COULD BOOST STOCKBY VICTORY ‘Likely to Win, Though Foe, Conqueror of Haynes, Is Far From Set-up. BY SPARROW McGANN. OE LOUIS is an unknown quan- tity to those who persist that h- has been tested but once in his career and failed to come through. With the exception of the Schmeling fight, Louis, according t. those who see many shortcomings in the make-up of the Detroit colored man, has shown nothing against brave fighters to list him as a challenger for the heavyweight title. One of the several tests planned for | Louis during the Winter takes plac: at the Sesqui-Centennial Stadium a: Philadelphia tomorrow evening. In the same ring Gene Tunney upse’ the dope and astounded thousands of confident fans by whipping Jack Dempsey. A Philadelphia Italian, Al Ettore, who seems to wield a magic spell over colored scrappers, is figured | on to stand off Louis for 15 rounds and whip him in the bargain. May Overestimate Ettore. IF ETTORE had more to recommend him than three victories over Le- | roy Haynes there wouid be something. other than pride in a native son, o countenance such an opinion. Getting down to blunt facts, it is not unlikely but that Louis will uncork the sam? sort of an attack he unleashed against | Primo Carnera, Max Baer and Jack Sharkey and shatter the illusion cre- ated by Al's victories over Haynes. ‘The Schmeling defeat was the best thing that could have happened t Louis. His progress had been too sen- sational and steady for one of his lim- ited experience in the ring. The scraps were too brief and prevented Louis from absorbing some measure of pun- ishment he needed to bring out his best points. After Louis had been hit on the jaw several times by solid smashes, he showed his greenness by backe ing away to get set for a lead in- stead of ramming in as he had done in crown.

Here it is only a few days after the | worst storm in three years, yet over! the week end the usual number of automobiles, with rods, reels and fish eans sticking out at odd angles, clut- tered to roads leading toward Chesa- peake Bdy. Beneath old fishing hats faces shown with the happiness their owners anticipated down on the water getting in their lick at blue fishing, | trout fishing, rock fishing or just plain | fishing. ‘The surprising part of it all is that & few fish were caught. Naturally enough we cannot expect too much after such a severe disturbance, but Capt. Harry Woodburn reports that rockfish were biting around Cedar Point as well as they had been before the storm. Blues were few and far between, ditto trout. The middle of this week may see trout biting as hard as ever, and even if blues go South sooner than usual this promises to be a good rock season. ‘There is a possibility that the storm drove blues up rather than down the bay. Yesterday Dick Woodburn took an investigating trip which extended south as far as St. Jeromes Creek and the Southwest Middles, and north past Cove Point. He found the only signs of blues at Rocky Point, about 2 miles above Cove Point. There they were cutting into schools of ale- wives, followed always by flocks of gulls. Nine times out of ten gulls are found around large schools of blue- fish, and as these were the only gulls sighted on the whole trip there may ‘be something to the theory that blues ‘were driven north. Bass Fishing Improving. HAPP!LY enough the storm did not affect fresh-water fishing as much as had been feared. At Gunston Cove the large-mouths have been biting better and better with each cool day. The weeds have not started to go down yet, but will do so in another week or at the end of this month. The same conditions hold true for the Piscataway, although this stream is not as clear as the cove. Cool weather always is the delight of fresh-water angiers. Give them a day with a tinge of frost nipping around the edges and they will flock to their favorite bass and pike grounds, NGLERS are the most optimistic | A and patient members of the | . A ~ t@ -2 At Rock Mill Run on the Susque- hanna River bass and pike fishing has been very good on week days, accord- ing to Capt. W. W. Wilkinson. No water has been passing through the dam on Saturdays or Sundays. ‘Weather outlook for this week— Showers about Tuesday and again Friday and Saturday. Otherwise gen- erally fair. Warmer Monday, cooler middle of week and warmer Friday. Outlook at Nearby Points. ERE are the general conditions for fishing grounds near Wash- ington, but these reports and fore- casts only hold good in favorable weather. Bad weather cuts catches in half or stops fishing altogether. Sparrows Point, Md., Capt. Louis F. Markel—Rock and trout catches good on western side of bay; expect good fishing next week if weather is favorable. Eastport, Md., Capt. T. 8. Rawl- ings—Good catches made last week, mostly blues and trout. I Shady Side, Md.,, Capt. Robert E. Lee—Catching as high as 70 blues per boat trolling; rock and trout also being taken; outlook good. Tilghman, Md., Capt. A. Harrison— Fair catches of blues and trout being made here; outlook good. Eastern Bay, Capt. A. W. Smith— Very good rock catches being made trolling, average 50 per boat running from 1 to 2 pounds. Broomes Island, Md., Capt. H. C. Elliott—Catches only fair here; rock, trout and blues taken trolling; cooler weather will improve fishing. Wachapreague, Va., Mears—Channel bass, trout and croak- ers on the move South; best catch last few days was five channel bass. Quimby, Va., Capt. L. 8. Corbin— Channel bass a little late starting, but have caught a few; am catching some blues, trout, flounder, sea bass and Gloucester Point, Va., Capt. T. 8. Clopton—Fishing has been poor due to storm, now clearing and expect improvement. Wanchese, N. C. (Oregon Inlet), Capt. Wayland Baum—Channel bass here, fair catches being made, out- look good. 'SECON P A H G sions will be devoted to perfecting the | new shift which the young mentor | introduced two weeks ago. Devised to | ald i deception, the shift did not hinder the offense of any combination that has used it within the last fort- night, and Hagerty expects it to be- come a valuable aid to the Hoyas this Fall. | Three players—Tommy Keating, Bob Nolan and Herb Stadler—who have been on the sidelines with injuries for the last week, were expected back in uniform today. With only a few as- sured of regular berths, the intra- squad competition this week was ex- pected to be exceptionally lively. DZU ZU SEEN IN G: W. SOPHOMORE Izzy Weinberg, Who Made Jesse: Owens Step, Packs Color, ’ Valued as Blocker. HADES of Zuzu Stewart, the col- orful guard who drew widespread l.ttenmm to George Washington' line play three years ago, were on the horizon for local foot ball fans to- day as the Colonials took their first work-out on local soil in preparation for their opening game against Emory and Henry at Griffith Stadium Friday night. 1zzy Weinberg, a stocky, barrell- chestéd sophomore from Mount Pleasant, Pa., is the player looming as Stewart's successor for color in G. W.s line, although Weinberg's Pposition has not yet been decided. Already the hardest-blocking and most savage-tackling player on the £quad, Weinberg is expected to be found in the starting line-up against the Wasps. And any thought that | the 19-year-old soph sacrifices speed to power is erased by the records, which show that he ran a 70-yard dash against Jesse Owens in 7.7 sec- onds in 1934—finishing one-tenth of & second behind the Olympic cham- | pion, Combined with his strength and aggressiveness, plus his blocking prowess, Weinberg's speed may fit him for a running guard, in which the lineman is called upon to pull out of the line quickly to head the Interference. George Washington hasn’t had a truly fast guard since Stewart. . BAUER IN FRONT AGAIN Army Officer Wins Second Time | in Lynch Harrier Series. Lieut.

Ettore Beaten Six Times. IN 64 bouts, Ettore has knocked out 18 opponents and won deci- sions over 37. Twice he has been held to draws, six times outpointed and once knocked out by Charley Retzlaff in January of last year. Opposed to that is Louis’ amazing record of 24 knockouts, four decisions and one defeat—a knockout handed him by Max Schmeling in June. Jack Blackburn, Louis’ veteran pilot, predicted the bomber will weigh 201 or 202 tomorrow. The Philadelphian probably will be little over 190. Nine four-round bouts, all between heavyweights, will make up the pre- liminary card. FEDERAL BOWLERS OPEN| 0dd Fellows Under Way. Fourteen teams will inaugurate the Federal League season tonight at the Arcadia. Although losing three of last year's clubs, the loop gained seven new teams. The opening night's schedule is as follows: Government Printing Office vs. Bureau of Investi- gation, Navy Department vs. 1. B.E.

A. vs. National Park Service. |win by a clean knockout, about the other trio. Collectively, it is as hardy a group of heavyweights now campaigning and should provide Louis with stiff enough opposition to prove whether or not he has been overrated thus far in his career. Ettore can be knocked down. He | has it in him to get up and come on |to win. He did so on other occasions |and, while the writer agrees that Ettore will get up, he does not sub= scribe to the view that Al hits hard enough to set the Negro back on his heels and win out. Louis is the most accurate hitter among big fel- | lows in the game today and will drop Ettore as many times as the Italian elects to get up. If Louis does not the ref- eree will stop the fight before it has reached the 10-round mark. BOILS AND INJURIES SLOW DOWN CARDS | Light Workout on Tap for Today. Carroll Placed on Diet as Skin Eruptions Occur. A LIGHT workout was in order for Catholic University gridmen to- day as injuries and boils crept into the Cardinals’ camp and placed Irish | Carroll, Fred Rogers, Johnny Carvelas, | Bill Dempsey and Charley Munhall on | the sidelines. Carroll. the Cards’ ace backfield per- former, was placed on a strict diet | today as the result of an outbreak | of boils on his legs.

In his stead today is Perce Ellett, who in a quiet way has been a power back of the promotion of the little pin game here for years. Unable to attend the annual session held in the oak room of the Raleigh Hotel due to the illness of his wife, Greer deemed it best that the asso- ciation elect & new head, since it may be out of question for him to give the proper time to the office. But he will not be lost entirely to the association he has served so ably. ‘Wes Miltner Moves Up. 'HIRTY league representatives who attended the meeting unani- mously voted him treasurer to succeed Wesley Miltner, who steps up into the vice president’s seat, which was vacated by the new president.

IT WAS voted to have the associa- tion reorganize the Washington Singles League, a loop that provided much interest two seasons ago. The association went on record to give aid to all sweepstakes now sanctioned and asked the membership to back The Evening Star Yuletide tournament to the fullest extent. George L.

He asked that the local bowlers back the congress 100 per cent through taking out & membership at a cost of 25 cents & bowler.
