S BACK IN RUNNING | AFTER LONG WAIT Roosevelt, Boasting Strong Relay Team, Is Threat for Second Place. BY BURTON HAWKINS, ALLOWING in the muck of scholastic cinder competi- tion here for the past sev- eral years, Central looms a slight favorite to capture the public high school track championship crown which is wobbling on Tech's uneasy dome. A weeding out process, designed to qualify six men in each event, will be inaugurated tomorrow when the two-day program is launched at Cen- tral Stadium at 3:15 o’'clock. Coach Hardy Pearce, who chiefly has been instrumental in reviving the sport at Central following a period during which athletes there were forced to concede the title to Tech or Eastern, now expects to be paid . dividends on his labor, but won't admit it. Free-Scoring Plan. ‘HE title will hinge not upon first places, but upon balanced power, mainly because five places are awarded | point on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis which practically nullifies winning | efforts. By taking third and fourth | in an event, for instance, a team can equal the points scored by the winner. Central, however, appears as well rounded as either Tech or Eastern and is likely to grab more than its quota of first places. Roosevelt virtually assured of victory in the mile relay, is expected to score more heavily than previously and is rated a threat for the runner-up berth. Consistently outstanding for Cen- tral this season have been Dan Hoad- ley, high jumver; Wilbur Barr, javelin specialist, and Louis Chocos, sprinter and discus heaver. Hoadley last week won first place in the “C” Club meet with a leap of 5 feet 10!'> inches, ‘while Barr, in practice, has jeopardized the javelin record of 171 feet 5% inches established by Emmett Buscher in 1932, tossing the steel-tipped stick | 169 feet 8 inches this week. Baulsir Fine Jumper. Norman Baulsir, Tech's crack broad Jumper, also is expected to bid seri- ously for a new record. In the “C"| Club meet the slim, black-haired lad | soared 21 feet 10 inches, which equals the mark set by Bill Beers of Western in 1932. | Other Tech men who appear threats | in their respective races are John Casper, half-miler, and Bill Luckett, miler. Both have shown well against outstanding opposition. The familiar figure of Hap Hardell will be missing from the scene for the first time in 13 years, the wiry Tech landmark having passed the track tutoring jobs into the capable hands | of Artie Wondrack. Eastern Loses Star. EASTERN‘S coach, Artie Boyd, suf- | fered a severe blow in the loss through injury of Otto Streitberger, | ace quarter-miler, but the Lincoln ‘ Parkers figure to create trouble with | Abe Cohen in the shotput and Leslie Keissling in the high jump. treit- berger was stripped from the team through a severe spike gash obtained in the “C” Club meet. ' Coach Lynn Woodworth of Roosevelt expects a winning performance only from his mile relay team, which will be selected from Louis Napoli, Ed | ‘Vasvary, Dutch Kollmyer, Cleve Stauf- | fer, Truman Lancaster and Al Lewis. ‘Woodworth admits he may score points | in the sprints, but classes the Rough Riders as woefully weak in field events. Western’s lone threat appears to be | Jim Farquharson, who is favored to ! win the 440-yard dash. PORTS. Sports Program For Local Fans TODAY. Base Ball.

THE EVENING ICOUNT ON RIDERS 10 STOP EASTERN Nine That Routs Central Is Only Hope Left to Send Series Into Tie, ITH the loser facing elim- inatlon from the public high school base ball series championship scrap, West- ern and Tech nines will clash tomor- row at Western Stadium at 3:30 o'clock. The winners still will nurse the possibility of a title tie. Upon Roosevelt, which kicked Cen- tral down the cellar steps, 7-2, yestere day at Roosevelt Stadium, the series hinges. The Rough Riders may throw the series into a stalemate providing it whips the undefeated Eastern club next Tuesday. Roosevelt Finds Pitcher. THAT possibility was no pipe dream today, chiefly because Coach Her- man Litunan finally has discovered a pitcher who figures to give the Lincoln | Parkers a tussle. He is Sam Mallos, | who limited Central to three singles as | Roosevelt won its first game in four | | starts and ruined Central’s season. Central's tumble was delayed until | the seventh inning, when the Rough | Riders scored three runs to break a 2-2 tie and definitely salted the game | away in the eighth with two more.

HOLLYWOOD, May 19 (#)—Glenn Morris, Olympic decathlon champion, has forfeited his amateur standing by signing a contract to act in Tarzan movies, a letter from Daniel J. Ferris, national secretary of the A. A. U. said today. The Fort Collins, Colo., athlete is under a five-year agreement with Pro- ducer Sol Lesser that will pay him upward of $250,000. Besides winning an Olympic title, | Morris received the Sullivan award | for 1936, highest honor that can be | given an amateur athlete.

Morphyites Issue Challenge. AX KESSLER, energetic chess di- rector of the reorganized Paul Morphy Chess Club, has challenged the Washington Social Chess Divan to an_interclub tourney. Officers of the divan have made no comment. It was not the intent of the divan to enter into any interclub play, for the divan membership comes from all clubs and chess groups in the District. For the divan membership to engage in interclub matches will mean that an understanding must be reached as to how players that belong to more than one chess organization shall be classified. Some of the better players are affiliated with as many as four separate and distinct local chess ree 2NASH 20 RCA Victor Auto Radios It is said the Paul Morphy Chess Club has ruled that its members shall play with the club in interclub frays or not at all. Such a ruling will make it altogether irrational for the divan to engage in any matches. The ruling would exclude Simon Naidel, J. B. Eskin, R. G. Morrisette, R. 8. MacCready, Earl Kunkle and V. L. Eaton—to name a few who pos- sess membership in more than one chess club. Exhibit at Social Chess Lounge. UNDRY prints of chess play and art prints of the royal game will be on display at the Social Chess Lounge, Parkside Hotel, 1336 I street northwest, Thursday night at 8 o'clock, and the chess editor of The Star will give a brief, informal lecture on the “Official Code or Laws of Chess” as approved by the International Chess Federation in 1929. No chess study on the market con- tains these official rules except Mitchell's “A Guide to the Game of Chess.” The 1929 code eliminates the king penalty which existed in the Ameri- can chess code of 1890. Thursday evening at the So- cial Chess Lounge is ‘“open house” for every one. No fee for the exhibit or address. Ladies are cordially invited to visit the lounge. After the lecture players will par- ticipate in a rotary chess tourney— each playing as many opponents as possible—the winner to receive a mod- ern chess book.

Larry Schneider, first base- man, also has come through with some lengthy swats, while Second | Baseman Bill Morrell's hitting has been extremely timely. Henry Keene has provided plenty pep behind the bat while Pete Smith is playing a fine game at third.
