By r. D. Thomas

The Howard Campbell Sweep.
stakes, most sensational bowling
tournament ever held in Washington. /
today assumed the status Of a yearly !,
event on the program Of the Wash.
ington City Duckpin Association.
Howard Campbell, the King Pin
star who organized it. accepted the
proposal that his tournament be
placed under the auspices Of the as
ISOLATION. 1t will continue to bear
Campbell's name and probably will be
held annually in midseason.
In the meantime, Glenn
WOlstenhOIme, who won it, con-
tinues to accept gracefully the
laureIS heaped upon him, but
takes time out to consider his
coming 32-gaMe series with Carl
Kisch, of PhiIadeIpl1ia, which
win open with 16 games Satur-
day in the Quaker City.
kisch is known to be formidable
when rubber-banded pins are the
targets. This much is revealed by
some OF his scores published in
Philadelphia newspapers.
But 1t has not been definitely set
tied, it was said today by Albert
Gardner, who is handling arrange
ments, that the banded naples will be
used. The Convention Hall manager
specified hardwood pins in his COR
respondence but the matter seems
to have been left open by the Phila-
delphian. 1t will be settled definitely
today by long-distance phone.
WOlstenhOlTMe would prefer the
regular Baltimore style of pin
but il willing to go through with
the match II kiscfl insists on
the banded type, in which event
Glenn will drag out q set Of 'em
between now and Saturday and
experiment q trifle.
The fearful, twisting speedball
rolled by Wolstenholme should be
extremely effective against any style
Of pins.
Getting back to campbelrs
tournament. it very likely will
bring about a radical, addition to
the Washington City Associations
spring activity. The star bowlers
want a tournament similar to
Campbells. but with a more mod
crate entry fee, rolled in conjunc-
ton with the regular association
affair.
Moreover, the Class B ana Class
@ duckpinners have caught the
sweepstakes, fever. George L. Ise-
mann, newly elected president of
the association, is besieged with
requests to effect a. general sweep
stakes branch Of the big spring
program.
Isemann has taken kindly to
the plan and will bring it up for
action at the next meeting.
at could be done without
interfering with the regular
tournament" he said today.
''by shooting the games on
Saturday nights. OF course,
there would be several sets
rolled on q circuit of alleys"
Many of the Glass A bowlers
want their entry fee increased in
order to create a fatter prize
fund. The stars are in such min
ority that their prize money in the
association tournament is skimpy.
There isn't enough to make
shooting worthwhile" they say.

The writer was informed today by
"a man high In baseball's counsels
that the league, far from rushing
into the light OF day with Johnson's
successor at its schedule meeting
today, as had been rumored. would
take no action at this or any date
in the immediate future out Of con.
sideration for Johnson's. health. It
Is understood that an custer. at this
stage Of the proceedings might very
well prove fatal to Johnson.
"Comiskey. Lands and other men
who had been opposed to Johnson
recognize this humane necessity"
1t was pointed out. There is
absolutely no hurry on our part to
put another man in Johnson's place.
NaVIn, as vice president, was
elected for just such an emergency
as this. Johnson's secretary, VIII
liam Harridge, IL a capable man
who IL qualified to conduct the dC-
tail affairs Of Johnson's office IN

be. Today win be our last get
together before the start Of the

done about appointing . success.

we don't want TO make 1t any
tougher for Ban than We have
to-"
Informally, however, several men
have been discussed, it was admit
ted. One of them Is e. 8. Barnard,
president Of the Cleveland Clue.
Barnard, as representative Of the
Dunn interests, virtually Is foot
loose and fancy free but they say
he is not the type Of man they
want.
They want a man with a big
name, a man whose prestige would
carry significance anywhere. Bar
nard, otherwise, is fool proof, they
admit: a solid, logical thinker and an
excellent executive.
heard several days ago that four
clubs, Detroit, Cleveland. Washing
ton and St. Louis, had lined up be.
hind Barnard. but ] am discinclined
to believe it. particularly on the st.
Louis end. 1t would seem to be a
natural expectation that. as long
as Ban Johnson lives, Phil Ball will
be for no candidate whatsoever.
The idea that the league might
be able to attract George Wllar-
ton Pepper was q sn0wdrift in
the first place. but / understand
that his name never has been
mentioned In connection with a
position that Is not supposed
to be open until 1928, II then or
ever.
The American League is pretty
wen satisfied with its official
status, as 1t stands: so satisfied. it
is intimated. that it doesn't think
it could be intrigued by the pros
pect Of having John K. Tener, for
mer governor. Of Pennsylvania, as
its head some time in the distant
future. Tener, they contend, has
the prestige and the knowledge of
baseball, but they think they would
like a sterner executive.

The public knows / was hit in the
throat. 1t was spectacular, full
view punch which the public couldn't
miss seeing. But Someway, some
how, the vast crowd seemed to over
look the fact that Dempsey was
driving blows into my body. Nobody,
after the battle, put any emphasis
on that. Either they didn't see those
punches or they were so short and
so lacking in the thing that's spec
tacular that they didn't figure that
Jack was doing any damage.
Yet this is the truth:
For two solid weeks after that
fight my body was black and blue
from the sledgehammer effect of
those blows. And for fourteen con-
secutive nights after that fight the
pain in my stomach was so great
that could not sleep on either side,
and had to-FOR FOURTEEN
NIGHTS-sleep on my back.
And, mind you, all those body
hurts-all that pain--came not from
any full body swing of Dempsey's,
but merely were created by the
crushing power that he was able to
concentrate in his four, six and
eight inch jolts. If he mad hit me

visitors have a chance TO win

The Hoosiers had been held to two
field goals and five foul shots. They
opened up smartIy in the second
half, though. and made a threat
that caused the home team to stem
on the gas. With Saunders and
Kennedy leading the attack, the
lea que leaders marched right away

Senior Basketball League from the
very start. the Calvary M. e. team
today finds itself up against it to
survive in the pennant race, the
hottest, by the way, that any in.

Having preserved clean slate

tartar in the Epiphany Roses team,
which won, 81 to 8. This defeat
knocked Calvary from the top rung
