Cross Is Hot Shot as Western Knocks Central From High School Basket Lead ¢ Raiders Win Handily As One-Time Weak Scorer Shines Wilson Drubs Anacostia For Runnerup Tie With Defeated Vikings HIGH SCHOOL STANDINGS, W. L. w. Roosevelt -- 3 OWestern __ Central . 3 Wilson __ 3 h Coolidge - 2 1 Anacostis By GEORGE HUBER. Donny Cross, lean Western basket ball player, made most of the ali- high cage teams around town last season by his close guarding ability. It was a case of “good fleld, no hit” for the red clad youngster, who hardly was able to buy a basket, but who could do everything but throw a blanket over the man he was assigned to guard. In the whole series last year Don zcored the grand total of 11 points, vet was considered valuable enough for all-high mention. When the time comes around for this year's selections Donny again will be a prominent candidate, but this time as a scoring ace. Cross Gets Dozen Points. Coach Clif Moore has done some- thing to this boy to give him an eye for the hoop and as a result the Red Raiders are red hot in tne middle of & tough race toward the playoffs. Just a sample of Cress’ work was on display yesterday in the feature of the high school title series double- header at Tech when he tallied 12 points to lead the Raiders to a 39-29 victory over previously un- beaten Central. In the other half of the program, Wilson had no trouble at ail in trimming Anacostia, 51-22, and leav- ing the Indians the dubious distinc- tion of being the first team definite- | ly eliminated from the race. The | victory moved the Tigers into a second-place tie with Central, which dropped to leave idle Roose- velt in possession of top spot. BALL PROVES ELUSIVE—We Central Always Trails. Jim Karah, Western's speedy Greek flash, also had a lot to do with his team’s victory, two of his suc-| cessful shots coming at an oppor- tune time in the third period when Central was threatening to overhaul the Raiders. This the Vikings never were quite able to do, but they were breathing hot on Western's neck until midway through the third period when Cross and Karas put on & scoring spree. Central's circus shots those one- handed twisters tapped around by Ted Thomaides and Johnny Gib- bons, just weren't dropping yester- day as they had in the past. Ted | had a hot streak and tallied three times in the first period. but was silenced thereafter. Bob Hill came | through with three in a row in the second period, but the Vikings never were able to hit a consistent scoring stride and were outclassed by West- ern’s steady passing game and set shooting. | Central G FPts.

O Mitchell and 8i- vigny, Score at hal{—Western, 20-1 Romp for Wilson. The opening Anacostia-Wilson game was no contest after the first period when the Tigers went into an 8-6 lead, with six of these points being supplied by Don (Bones) Hil- lock. Wilson moved along to an | 18-11 edge at intermission and thereafter scored almost at will in | taking its 51-22 victory, biggest yet | registered in this year’s series. } Sensation of the game was Freddy | Vinson of Wilson, who hit a phenomenal scoring stride in the | second half. Pointless in the first two periods, Freddy suddenly got hot and in the last 16 minutes dropped in six baskets from odd angles and with his four successful charity tosses took scoring honors for the afternoon with 16 points. Anacostia had real difficulty solv- ing Wilson's zone defense and only Robert Nelson made much of a dent in it, hitting the net three times from his corner. Anacostia. GPPts. Wilson.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 24—The Monday Quarterbacks’ Club is com- ing out of seasonal retirement to fete Mel Ott, only native of this gay, sport-loving city ever to become a major league baseball manager. ‘The pilot of the New York Giants tried to make an excuse when in- vited to attend a testimonial dinner for him February 11 and looked more worried than if he were facing the best pitcher in baseball with a world series hanging on his bat, “I've got to go to New York,” he said. “I'm afraid I can't be here. Ii’s swell to know they want to do this for me, but gee! I'd have to make a speech. I'm terrible at that. Can't I get out of it?” Has Chance to Practice. Reminded that a New York ban- quet for him February 1 offered him a chance for some “batting practice,” Ott reluctantly said “ok.” The New York chapter of the| Baseball Writers of America is to | present Ott with an award for out- standing service to baseball over a | long period of time, ‘The Quarterback Club sand- | wiched their event for “New Orleans No. 1 Ambassador of sports” be- tween a trip Ott is making to New | York and the opening of the Giants® spring training camp in Florida | February 16.

From the day when as a boy of 16 in 1926 when he first knocked on the door of the New York club looking for John McGraw and a chance to | play with the Giants, Ott has been | a favorite here and the Quarterback Club, numbering about 500, has opened the banquet to the public. Usually the club folds up after the | first of the year to await fall and football, but this extra event was announced to “pay tribute to Mel Ott for the splendid example he has set for the boys and young men of this community.” ! Congressional Clips Rough To Conserve Golf Pellets Wiffy Cox Also Makes It Easy to Recover Balls From Water and Other Bad Spots Troublesome Teeth Gone, Selkirk Sees Yank Comeback Swings Without Pain By WALTER McCALLUM. With a weather eye peeled on vanishing golf ball stocks Wiffy Cox, Congressional pro, has started something that is sure to spread ike wilddre at all the golf spots in this section 2nd throughout the land. Wiffy today ordered that the rough be cut down, and that all rough spots of high grass and tangled woods off the fair- ways at Congressional be cleaned out and put into condition so an errant golf ball may readily be# found. “I don’t know how long we are going to be able to get golf balls, or to get replacements of any kind,” said Wiffy. “Therefore every golf ball we save puts us that much to the good. I want my members to know that the rough spots are being cleaned up and they won’t lose so many balls when they hit one off | the course.” It's a complete turn-around from the complacence with which golf ball dispensers have viewed the situ- ation in past years. Wiffy himself jokingly has sald that the ideal course_from the standpoint of the pro would be one with 18 deep water hazards, from which a golf ball couldn't be recovered. Yet he is the first to take steps to eliminate the spots where a golf ball may be lost. Part of his plan is to make every attempt to retrieve all golf balls driven into water hazards by cutting down high grass bordering these hazards. and fur- nishing rakes to recover pills which ca~ be seen in deep water. Will Speed Up Play. The Cox scheme has several angles, of course. Wiffy won't be able to get the usual number of golf balls when the season opens | up, and he hopes to make those he has (and those of his members) go further. It will speed up play, for a golf ball can easily be seen in short rough. It will also be a shot in the arm to duffers who hate the | high' rough, and who will be abje te pound a ball out of short rough as well as from the fairway. The scheme should be adopted at all clubs, although in late years the general tendency has been to cyt down the height of the high grass. This cutting down, according to | Columbia Pro Fred McLeod, ac- | counts for much of the low scoring. But I don't believe any member | | of Congressional or any other club will squawk about cutting the rough | when all angles of the golf ball situ- | ation are figured and balanced one | against the other. It isn't impos- | sible on many of the local courses to lose & couple of golf balls a round and not be wild either. | Elimination of the bad spots, as | Cox is doing at Congressional, will help a lot on the golf ball situation. Greenkeepers Meet Monday. All the greenkeepers from the clubs around Washington are plan- ning to attend the short course for greenkepeers and those interested in turf culture, to open at the Uni- versity of Maryland Monday morn- ing at 9 o'clock. Dr. Ernest N. Cory, who has presided at previous short courses, again will be in charge. The course is sponsored jointly by the university and the Mid- Atlantic Association of Greenkeep- Following Removal Of Two, He Says By the Associated Press. ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. Jan. 24. —George Selkirk has been doing some winter trading of his own— two ailing teeth for a whack at his old outfield job with the New York Yankees. George says that since removal of teeth three months ago he hasn't been bothered any more by & recurring back allment he held largely responsible for a hitting slump that eased him out of the Yank line-up into the role of utility flycatcher and pinch hitter, “It used to hurt even to swing & golf club, but I've played every day for weeks now and haven't felt a twinge of pain,” he said, as he teed off for a round here. Selkirk, who took the great Babe Ruth’s place in the Yankee outfield seven vears ago, averaged 303 with the stick until 1940. Then he dropped to 269 and last season skidded to 220 and out of the regular line-up. But, he avowed today, he's far from through and they'll hear plenty from old “Twinkeletoes” yet. ‘There’s a good opening for some- body at the Yankee first base slot since the induction of Johnny Sturm into the Army, but as to the pros- pects of Selkirk taking a whirl at it, ers, and in past years has been he said “those things are up to Joe valuable as a source of instruction )Mrcmh,\'." on theory and procedure for many | “Personally, I rate Buddy Hassett of the men in charge of valuable | as a sweet first baseman and think links properties around the Capital. he will make good for us.’ George | Wonder whether theyll go after declared. “If not, I imagine Tommy the Japanese beetle next year?

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.—Nine- ty-four years ago, James Marshall discovered the gold that touched off the rush to California. Today a slim, | young golfer named Benny Hogan was hot on the trail of some more of it. The first round leader in the San | Francisco Open, Hogan held a 3- | stroke advantage as the field pre- pared to get away on the second lap of the 72-hole event after a 24- hour postponement of play due to unfavorable playing conditions. The Hershey (Penn.) professional, outstanding in his field the last two years, was the strong favorite to win top money in the $5,000 event, First place nets $1,000. Have Staged 2-Man Show. Thus far, Hogan and Byron Nel- son, of Toledo, Ohio, have made a | two-man show of the California tournaments on the winter trail this year. Hogan hauled down first money of $3.500, plus an extra $1,000 in gate receipts, in the Los Angeles Open. Nelson followed with his vice tory in the Oakland Open last week. Hogan trudged over a soggy layout | Thursday in the first round of the San Francisco Open to bracket a 65, 7 under par, and a remarkable score in any circumstances, The former Fort Worth caddie is noted for his | superior game under heavy going. His nearest rival, Harry Cooper, of Minneapolis, had an opening round of 68. He in turn was trailed by another oldster, Horton Smith of | Pinehurst, N. C., with a 69. Nelson Far Behind Leader. In contrast to Hogan's sub-par ef- | fort, Nelson, another heavily backed choice, struggled through a tough initial round and, barring a phe- nomenal comeback, apparently was | shaded par with his 72-hole total of 274 in the Oakland event, but he simply couldn’t click in the mud | here. He carded a 76. Par is 72. Due to yesterday's postponement, the third round will be played to- morrow and the final 18 Monday.

Red Cross to Receive Profits From Westminster Dog Show By R. R. TAYNTON. Entries for. the Westminster Ken- nel Club show at Madison Square Garden, New York, which close at noon tomorrow, were coming at such a rate that it was expected | the quota of 2,500 would be reached | before then. Entries have been received from every State and Canada, in spite of the fact that Canadian exhibitors must make special applications for funds with which to bring their dogs to this country. Canadian of- ficials thus have approved the ex- hibition of dogs as a wartime ac- tivity. A special committee of the Red Cross, which is the recipient of all i | | | s profits from the show, has staged a highly successful drive for program advertising and is co-operating in a | Mc special pageantry. Last year the Red Cross received $5,000 from the Westminster show. This year, judging by advance res- ervations for boxes, program adver- tising, etc., the check will be larger. In addition to the regular class judging, there will be the usual finale of the children's handling classes conducted all over the coun- try, a special class of Dalmatians exhibited by the firemen of- New York in dress uniform, and the alluring exhibition of obedience- trained dogs staged by the New Eng- land Dog Training Club. :Eagles in Hopeless Position Defending Hockey Crown Might Win All Games and Have Slim Chance;| Play 4-4 Overtime Draw With Orioles By BURTON HAWKINS, What sort of predicament the Washington Eagles are facing | if they still are entertaining hopes of landing on top of the East- | | ern Amateur Hockey League title scramble is reflected in a quick | | glance at some statistics.
