SCHOOLBOY STARS
TOCLASH In RACE
Sheehan Meets Latta in Half
Mile at Tome.
YOUNGSTERS CLOSE RIVALS
Latta Defeated Tech Captain in
Contest Last Year.
YOUNGSTERS CLOSE RIVALS

Monroe Sheehan. captain, manager.
and coach OF the Tech track team, has
enjoyed an exceptionally fne year and
his teammates expect him to be re-
turned winner in the half-mile event
at Tome School tomorrow.
Techs captain has an ambition. He
wants to meet Lstta, central's cap
tain, in the half-mile at Tome. A
year ago Latta sprang a big surprise
by defeating Sheehan in the half.
Sheehan Il Surprised.
The time was not particularly fast,
as Sheehan had previously won the
event at the Maryland State games in
2:o1 :O2 on a short track. That race
in the high school meet in which
Latta defeated Sheehan has ranked
In the Tech captains breast ever
since. Sheehan was a surprised
youngster.
Sheehan has literally dogged Latta's
trail trying to get in a race in which
the Central man was entered. In the
indoor meets here last winter Shee-
nan entered lhe sCnOldsllC halA
and won. In Baltimore Sheehan
spreadeagled the field and won. In
neither event was Latta entered.
Latta Not In HaIf-MIIe.
Confidently expecting to meet Latta
last Saturday Sheehan was disap-
pointed. The Central captain was en-
tered in the 100 and 220-yard dashes
and relay. When the relay came on
Latta was out twenty-five yards ahead
Of Sheehan in the fnal quarter and
the Tech man never had a chance TO
catch up.
Previously Sheehan had gone out
and established new figures for the
half. Tomorrow both lads may meet
in the half-mIle event at Tome. Shee-
han is hoping the Central captain is
in the same race and makes no bones
of saying he will win.

Freak features in baseball are
many, probably more so than in any
other sport. They are told and re-
told by scribes everywhere. But few
delve into the oddities OF the bowl
ing game. Some OF them are anus
ing and by perusing the score sheets
of the District duckpin tournament,
which was concluded at the Grand
Central last night, one can gain many
a laugh.
For instance, Moe Goldberg, the
man whom Washington bowlers hon
ored the other night with a gold
medal for the valuable services he
has rendered the game, made a strike
in one OF the events he participated
in, and achieved the exceptional count
OF one pin. Furthermore, that was
all he knocked down in the box.
This gave Moe the tournament rec
ord for low count on a strike.
One of the finest bits OF rolling in
the tournament is accredited to J. c.
Howard, in the class A doubles. Be-
ginning with the sixth frame OF his
first game, Howard rolled ten con.
secutive perfect flat boxes.
Only one time in the history OF
bowling here has a perfect flat game
been recorded in competition. Tip
O'Neill. a Knights OF Columbus bowl
er, rolled one several seasons ago.
Is Consistent Performer.
For consistency, George ''Pudny"
Burns, a member OF the Mohawk A
C. quint, was a star in class C. In
one OF his set, Burns shot three games
of 81.
T. Martin. of the Casino team, new
er missed q pin in one game he roll =.
ed in class A. The string consisted
Of eight tens. one fifteen box and
one seventeen frame. His score was
Il2.
When a bowler beats his partner
in doubles rolling by 100 pins, one
must be in unusual form, or the other
way OF. That was the case with F.
S. Martin and F. c. Hall, in class c.
Mullin shot a set OF 352 and his part
ner rolled 252.
Just the Other Way.
1t was Just the reverse with F. z.
Phelps and A. J. Butler. in the class
c doubles. Each started with a "a
game and wound up with a set of
2s7.

GRAND CENTRALS
Win In TOURNEY
Stansbury Beaten for Duck
pin Prize by One Pin.
ALL EVENTS TITLE TO WORKS
Rolls l,054 in Class A, Of Dis
trict Championships.

The discrepancy OF one pin in scor-
ing the Stansbury teams set in Class
A Of the District duckpin tournament,
which ended last night, gave the
Grand Central quint, Of the District
League, first place. Unofficial figures
showed the two teams tied with
total OF 1917, but last night, when
George Cox, expert mathematician,
audited the scores, he found one pin
too many for Earl Lewis, Of Stans-
bury, which relegated that team TO
second place.
Following is a list Of those who
finished on top In the other events:
Agriculture, Glass teams, 1913;
Managers, Class c teams, 1885; Bar
ber and Hansford, Glass A doubles,
zoo; Fischer and Everett, Glass B
doubles, 800: Martin and Neumyer,
Class c doubles, 666; E. J. Crowley,
Class A singles, 3S5; P. A Gowen,
Glass B singles, 36S; c. c. Plunkett.
Class c singles, 35s; Al Works. Class
A all events, 1,05s: P. A. Gowen,
Class B all events, 1,013; c. E. Jen-
kins, Class c all events, 1908. Last
nights scores follow:
Works All Events Champion.
Close competition for the Glass A
all events honors prevailed. Al
Works won the converted title, with
q total Of 1854. Earl Lewis, who
eopped the aIl-event prize in the last
tournament with the record mark Of
1,056, finished second with 1852, and
Ed Carl was third with 1,04S.
Several individuals perforE-d
creditably last night, but there was
nothing Of unusual character to mark
the windup. The Grand Centrals, Of
the National Capital League, made
an effort to beat their mark made as
q District League combination, but
rolled only 1873.
Best Tourney Ever Held Here.
with the tournament over, the
Washington bowling fraternity is
congratulating itself on having
staged the most successful event ever
held here. The annual champion
ships attracted more entries. more
spectators watched contestants, and
more general interest was displayed
than ever before.
The running Of the tournament
was handled in fine shape by Presi-
dent George Isemann, Vice President
John Williams, Secretary Moe Cold
berg, Life Member George Cox, Norris
Cafritz, proprietor of the Grand Cen
tral, and others.

FRED FULTON MAY TAKE
SHORT CUT TO OBLIVION
Meeting With LangfOrd Would Do
Contender No Good.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-Fred Fulton
Is taking a short cut to permanent re
tirement from the pugilistic spotlight
or else he has found the short way
back to popular favor with the fight
fans.
Fulton wants to meet Sam Lang,
ford.
When Fred delivered the foul blow
that lost him prestige in New York
and sent him back to Minnesota he
brought down on his head the scorn of
all the New York fans. They haven't
yet stopped talking about II.
Ideal Man for willard.
Fulton seems to be the ideal man
90 meet Jess willard for the cham
pionship. In spite OF the unfortunate
outcome Of his affair with Carl Nor
ris he still looms as the most logical
man. Morris flivvered when he made
such q poor showing with Jim Coffey,
and Frank Moran has been out Of the
running for q long time
Fulton Is a fighter OF ability. He
was learning fast when he ran into
the rough house methods OF Morris. II
he should get Sam into the ring and
belabor the veteran negro there would
be no one ready to say he wasn't at
least half ready for the big fight
Point Victory Wouldn't Help.
Fulton couldn't come back with
merely a point victory over the crafty
black. While It would get back some
OF his lost prestige. It wouldn't neces-
sariIy entitle him to any further con-
Eideration. He would have to score q
knockout, and II wouldn't do TO make
it q halfway affair.
GUnboat Smith once whipped Sam
Langford, the records show, but he
was foolish enough to try It again.
and the result was q defeat for Smith.
Langford sometimes fights wonder
fully well, at other times he can be
outpointed. But the white man has
never been found-nor the black one,
either. for that matter-good enough
TO stop Langford. Jack johnson never
would meet him after he gained the
championship. others have avoided
him by drawing 4 color line. Fulton
