TODAY'S
SPORTORIAL

Last evening, at the Coliseum
bowling alleys, the Sixteenth
Annual Tournament of the
Washington City Duckpin As
ISOLATION got under way with
"a teams of the Masonic League
playing the title roll by inau-
gurating the classic.
This tournament will run we'll
into the month of May, and,
according to President Henry
TAFT Rodier, over one thousand
persons will take part. When
you get that many people into
competition, whether it be duck
pins or spelling bee, you've
got excitement. of the very
healthiest sort and after all,
what in the world is sports
if it isn't excitement?
More people bowl nightly on
the various runWays of Wash
ington during the six months
from October to April than at
tend the home games of the
Griffmen day in and day out
during the other six months.
Thus you have a tremendous
interest in duckpins which we
are not saying is greater than
baseball interest, but certainly
very intense to those legion who
go in for it.
Unlike baseball, duckpins is
not a game for the spectator,
although the galleries last night
were thronged and will be
thronged tonight and tomorrow
night ad ibitum, ad infinitum
etc, come May 8.
The game is a fair game only
to watch unless two admittedly
crack teams are. pitted under
which circumstance is not
usual to charge admission. But
duckpins has it's great appeal
through it availability to peo-
pie of all degrees of physical
stamina. One would need to be
almost afflicted or actually in
firm to have the great physical
benefits of bowling closed to
them.
This tournament now in prog
ress is the world series of the
small game hereabouts.
Out of it will come city
championship team, champion
ship doubles combination and
an individual champion.
AS compared to the 1000 who
will go to participate, a hun
dred times that number will
pass in and out to watch, MAX
ing total per capita interest
of 100000.
That's one-fifth of Washing
toms population so you have
there an idea Of the magnitude
of the Sixteenth Annual Tourna-
ment of the Washington City
Association.

F|NNEGAN Wins
FROM STEIN

NEW YORK. April 20.-A crowd
of about $500 fight fans saw Honey
Boy Finnigan, the Boston feather"
weight, batter his way to the de-
cision over Ruby Stein, the Brook
lyn boxer, last night in the main
lO.round bout at the new broad
way arena, Brooklyn. Judges James
Riley and Herman Kahn and Ref.
cree Jed Gahan gave Finneg1n the
decision aften 10 one-sided rounds.
There was no question Of the win
ner when the final bell ended the
bout. Finnegan won every one or
the 10 rounds, subjecting Stein 70
a severe beating. The Boston ido,
a southpaw boxer, presented style
which Stein could not solve and
with stiff right jabs and snappy
left hooks and uppercuts, Finncgan
pelted his rival through every one
of the 10 rounds.
In the third round and IN the
fifth, Stein countered with solid
right smashes to the boxey which
hurt Finnegan, but these attacks
were mere flashes compared to the
steady work Of the Boston boxer.
Finnegan took the offensive with
the opening bell and held it through

now.
The Yankees owe pitcher to

''I need work. to show them"
Walter complains. II can pitch In
this league If get a chance %

George Stallings, who managed
Beall in Rochester, thinks so. And
Collins agrees.
But Higgins has five veterans
and promising youngsters in Thorn
as and McQuaid. His problem is to
find a way to give Walter plenty
Of work.
Higgins needs good pitching. The
vets are not giving it to him now.
They didn't give him much last
year. His play is to develop the
youngsters.
Will he take a chance with
BeaII? Or will he damn him to
another year in the minors when
he seems Overripe nOw?"
Which is fine basis for thought
for Walter, the Toronto people,
baseball writer's and diamond folk
generally. This boy Beall is one
of the problems of the game today.
He has caused much discussion, and
the disposition made of him by
Higgins and Barrow will call for
an execution of judgment which
only time will vindicate or condemn
They will all admit that Beall
has plenty of stuff. Many will
say that he has as much natural
sweep on a baseball as any pitcher
in the majors; that he would be a
sensational he had control.
Beall cost the Yanks $4,000 or so.
II won two ball games for them
in the closing stretch of the race
i'm 1884," Walter says. Last year
my control was not good because

Anybody who saw several of
those Yankee Nightmares in md

galore can subscribe to that. He
was leading man In the serial

There is no telling what the Red

ing pitching may not have been

llplayer.
S them yearn to see their names
oallplayers do not fool themselves
to a real scrap on the ball field.
That is one reason why the Sena.
tors insisted on keeping him in
that game with the Pirates.
They were willing to risk heir
personal fortunes on Johnson. Not
one of them ever complained OF
The result.
BalIplayers as q rule are reluc-
tant to discuss their fellow work
trs with outsiders. Once they get
TO know you well enough to he
frank. though, their observations
are much more interesting than
the records.
At a baseball gathering in Florida
a few weeks ago the question arose
as to the most valuable players in
Baseball.
The names most frequently
brought forward were Ty Cobb,
Roger Peckinpaugh. Ross Young,
Jimmy Johnston and Dave Ban
croft.
The fan may be surprised to
know that ballplayers in both
leagues generally regard Ross
Young as the most valuable man
of all to have in ball game
when it comes to a tough fight. He
does everything well and simply
exudes the scrapping spirit.
Even when Young was in ter
l.ible batting slump he was more
feared In the world series than
any man on the New York Club.
Despite his show of batting weak
ness Stanley Harris ordered him
passed twice so as to get George
Kelly, and that maneuver proba bly,
won the championship.
There are also baseball mana
gers who are known as ballplay-
ers' managerS-that is, leaders
whom the players understand and
work with sympathetically.
John McGraw and Wilbert Robin
son are of that type, but Of an
older school. The player takes his
orders without question, because he
feels that he knows what he is
talking about.
Stanley Harris of the Griffmen is,
perhaps, the most unique of all.
He is a natural leader, despite his
youth, through a quiet dignity and
sympathetic attitude toward his
teammates.
He associates freely with the
players in their amusements off the
field, but is always the manager.
Harris understands the baseball
mind.
