Most of the battles of 1928 We're
fought out abroad. and proof of the
powerful opposition encountered by
America is the fact that FIVE of this
country's invading aggregations met
defeat in Britain. In three of these
instances America forfeited titles,
with British siX-meter yachts recap
turing the British-American cup by
a decisive margin. Yankee fencers

an Oxford Cambridge team was

SOCCER is LEFT
TO SCHOOLBOYS

Soccer in the District this year has
been left almost entirely to the pub
lie school teams, who conduct their
championship tournament under the
auspices of the municipal playground
department.
The fall championship competitions
included teams from seventy schools,
with more than 1900 boys in the feld.
Section titles were won by Curtis
Hyde of Georgetown. Monroe Of Co.
lumbia Heights. Abbot of New York
avenue and Brightwood Park of
Bloomingdale, in the western divi-
sion. and Peabody of Plaza, Pierce
of Rosedale. Buchanan Of Virginia
avenue and Brent of Garfield, in the
eastern division.
Divisional elimination Journeys have
brought to the final the Monroe and
Pierce elevens that battled for the
title last year. These teams are to
play three-game series for city
laurels and are so evenly matched
that the playground authorities do
not expect the contests to be COM
pleted before the end Of the year
OF the clubs, the Harlems were
the only devotees of the English
game attempting to keep the sport
going. They staged several fntra-
club matches and a couple OF con-
tests with Baltimore aggregations,
then disbanded because of lack of
local opposition.

RING AND MAT
SPORTS GAINING

Better grades of boxing and wrest-
ling have been offered District fol-
lowers of the ring and mat sports
this year than formerly. The earn
est efforts of Promoter Heinie Miller
lifted from the mire Sportland Arena,
at Berwyn Heights, Md. whence un-
favorable statutes compel fans of
this city to go for flstfc entertain
ment, while professional matmen of
high order were brought here for
bouts.
A number of shows were put on
at Sportland by Miller, and although
some were failures because of indis-
Greet matching of principals, most
of them were really interesting af-
fairs and wholly satisfactory to spec
tators. Soldier bouts conducted at
Fort Myer early in the year were not
SO attractive. An effort to establish
q boxing club just across the District
line at Seat Pleasant was unsuccess-
full, the plant being destroyed by
fire after the. first show was held.
Men who had done most of their
boxing at Sportland distinguished
themselves in the Navy scouting fleet
ring championships at New York.
Young Dencio. mess boy of the U. s..
S. Mayflower, won the fiyweight title.
while Billy Vincent and Jack Skin
ner, Washington products, gave their
opponents hard battles before losing.
There was increased interest in
wrestling among the amateurs. A
Y NJ. c. A. team, hastily organized,
lost to a Baltimore team, but repre-
sentatives of Washington Canoe Club
and Gallaudet College did we'll. The
padding organization qualified four
men and Gallaudet two for the South
Atlantic A. A. U! championships.
Three w. c. c. men won titles, Clar-
ence Bruce, in the 11Spound class;
William Havens, in the 175-pound
class, and Charles w. Havens, in the
heavyweight class.

also went by the century mark for shut

Roger Peckinpaugh, who has been
shortstopping for years in the Amer

He accepted more chances than any
other shortstop in the circuit, batted
in good form and was out of but one of
the 155 games played by his. club. Joe

ranked high as a first sacker and
batted Justify.
An Unprecedented feat accomplished
by the club was that of sweeping a
series in ST. Louis. During the last trip
games were taken from the Browns
and the Nationals were leading in a
fourth engagement stopped by rain be-
fore a decision could be reached.
The Washington club during the year
has made great improvements in Its
plant. Before the season opened a new
entrance to the stands was Constructed
and an automobile park laid out Since
the championship season a spacious
open stand along the 5th street wall of
the outfield has been built, SO that the
park now has an estimated seating ca
pacity for base ball of more than 30,-
900, giving Washington a real major
league establishment.
