CENTRAL BASkETERS
IN SPRING PRACTICE

Intent on keeping the basket ball
championship at Central, Bert Cog
gins, mentor of the Blue and White
court team, is putting the recruits for
his squad through strenuous cam
paign of Spring practice that is to be
continued until the close of school.
A squad of eight men, several OF
whom filled in as substitutes last sea
son, are working two days a week at
the Central gymnasium with view
to giving several of the regulars a
stiff battle for their positions.
Crouch, Gordon, Brooks, Tash,
Lemon, De Boskey, Fitzgerald and
Birthright are going through the
prepping process. A majority of these
were members of the lightweight
team last Winter.
Dean and Hale will be lost TO the
squad next year through graduation,
and Dezendorf will be barred by the
fraternity ruling. Banta, center on the
championship quint, will return and
at present is keeping in shape by
working with the trackmen. Moser Is
holding down the backstopping posi-
ton on the base ball team.

ROBINSON is ONLY
PRESIDENT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 26.-Wilbert
Robinson, new president of the Brook
lyn Nationals, refuses to lay down the
managerial reinS for a swivel chair.
IT want to remain on the bench and
run this club through to the finish, "
explains the veteran manager, who led
the Dodgers to two pennants and who
now has the team in second place.
81 like the idea of being president of
the club, but I also like the idea of
being In the thick Of the fight. The
two positions will not be too much
for me. You can't kill a Robinson
with work"
Robinson is the only president man
ager in major league base ball. His
election, brought about by the death
of Charles H. Ebbets and Edward Nc
Keever, was accompanied by an un-
official statement that the Dodgers
would not be sold, for the time being
at least.
zack Wheat is to be assistant man
ager.

Lord Astor has thus far been un-
fortunate in his efforts to win the
Derby, his horses having run second
five times within the last seven years.
In the face of this persistent Ill luck,
which some people term a hoodoo,
the gamblers have been chary in sup
porting Cross Bow.
H. E. Morriss' Mamma comes next
at IL to 2, but, as he will be ridden
by the popular Steve Donoghue,
plenty prefer him to Cross Bow. The
latter's jockey is Frank Bullock of
Australia, who also has a great repu-
tation as rider.
The French horse Ptolemy II,
which disappointed his hackers in
the French 1000 guineas, has made
good impression on experts who
have seen him practicing at EPSON
since his arrival, and they say he is
running better than he did at Long
champs.

DAIRYMEN WIN GAME,
TAKING LEAGUE LEAD

Center Market tossers suffered
their first defeat of the Commercial
League series and were nosed out of
first place when the Chestnut Farms
base ball team scored an S-to-1 vic
tory. The win gives the Dairymen a
record of six triumphs in seven starts.
The Chestnut Farms batters went
on a rampage in the seventh frame
and clouted McIntyres slants all over
the lot, scoring a total of six tallies
during the inning. Kelley contributed
home run.

Maj. Gordon informed Capt. Cleland
tion of the District of Columbia code
relating to pugilistic encounters here
applied to the South Atlantic anna
teur bouts as originally planned, as
well as to any bouts between profess
sional prize fighters. He also ex-
pressed the opinion that his office had
jurisdiction over military reserva-
tions within the District, as well as
other sections.
Maj. Gordon stated that it was not
within the power of his Office to ban
any such contests. But, he added, If
alleged violations of the code were
brought to his attention he would
necessarily have to cause warrants
against the offenders to be issued
Capt. Cleland and President Ornstein
understood that it was up to the at
torneyS Office to punish those who
violate the law, but not to exercise
police powers.
Capt. Cleland told Maj. Gordon that
in this instance the Washington Bar
racks was not intending to press the
question of jurisdiction, but that the
Department regulations, with respect
to athletic contests conducted by the
Army, compel a military post to con-
form to the sentiment of the surround
ing community, and Capt. Cleland as
sured Maj. Gordon that the Washing
ton Barracks authorities would make
no effort to conduct the bouts if it was
found they could not be conducted
without affronting the law and the
citizens of the District.
However, both Capt. Cleland and
President Ornstein of the South At
lantic A. A. L. are confident affairs
may be SO arranged as to avoid pos
sible conflict with the Office of the
United States district attorney, and
that the amateur bouts will be held
as scheduled.
Maj. Gordon's attitude toward the
bouts between recognized profes-
sionals that have been conducted dur
ing the past few months by several
newly organized clubs about Washing
ton, however, indicates that they may
be suppressed in the near future. The
United States attorney has had
brought before him evidence that
raises a question of the legality of
these pugilistic entertainments, and a
thorough investigation of them prob
ably will be made soon.

Tech Highs final opportunity to
