HOT BAT TIE
ON TONIGHT
At KING PIN
BY r. D. Thomas

An attempt to offset one of the
most liumiliating defeats of the bowl.

the Quentin Roosevelt Post team OF
the American Legion when 1t meets
the Martinsb. rg, w. Va, all-stars
at the King Pin.
The Iegionnaires went to Martins
burg feeling almost cocksure of VIC
tory. But they took a 147-pin trim
ming in a five.geme set. Only one
: of the Washingtonians was able to
perform in anything like his usual
style. This was Carroll DAILY. His
teammates-1owar Campbell, EN-
NETT Meaney, Maggie Wood and
Austin Imirie-flopped dismally.
They were given raucous
Bronx cheer on returning to
Washington and since have
made the boast that the 147-pin
lead will be overcome tonight,
af the Martinsburgers don't "gO
wild" and the LegiOnnaireS re.
gain their usual stride.
In the first set rtinsburg totaled
2,722 against the Legionnaires

Respect for Hyattsville's bowlers
is growing in Washington. Henry
Hiser's team from the Maryland
town took q beating in HyattsVille
from the Arlington team of the
Athletic Club Leaguo, but in a return
five-game setto at Convention Hall
made convincing comeback. Airing
ton won the first set by SO pins and
thought Hiser's men would be set
ups ct Convention Hall. But they
won by % naples, 2,743 to 2,720.
Hiser, as usual, was high man for

Henry TAFT Rodier makes the boast
that no team has more real fun on
the alleys than Harmony Lodge. of
which he is captain.
.One reason for this explains the
gray-haired boy who'll never grow
old. is that we all have the same
philosophy as applied to duckpins.
We like al much to win as anybody
but there Is no grumbling and no
aIibi when we lose. We bowl alto

New York, March 10 (AP)-
Jack Sharkey Of Boston. making a
third attempt to prove himself the
logical challenger for Gene Tunney's
crown, will 60 into the elimination
lists tonight against Johnny Risko,
the Cleveland baker boy, in a 10
round match in Madison Square Gar
den. The bout is scheduled for 10
p. m, eastern time.
The Boston boxers fame, brought
to the peak by his victory on a foul
over Harry Wills, went into q par
tial eclipse when he was knocked
out by Jack Dempsey.
Sharkey's next chance was against
Tom Heeney, the New Zealand black
smith, but the best the ex sailor
could do was to earn Z 12-round
draw.
Heavy odds are being quoted on
Sharkey to win, some at Is to s,
these being based principally on the
fact that the Hub boxer easily out
pointed Risko in their first fight,
but ut that time Risko was q novice
while Sharkey had been a profess
sional for more than q year.
Risko has punching ability and
endurance although lacking in ring
science. Some Of the boxing experts
believe that Risko has an excellent
chance to defeat his rival, particu-
larly il Sharkey can be drawn into
q smuggling exchange rs he was in
the Dempsey fight.
The boxers will enter the ring on
even terms of weight, Sharkey seal
ing 1911 pounds and Risko 100.

Purdue and Indiana
Share Big 10 Title

Chicago, March l2.-R)-Purdue
and Indiana shared the western con,
ference basketball championship for
1928 today, while Bonnie Ooster-
baan carried off the season scoring
honors to compensate for Michigan's
loss Of the title it held last year.
The two Hoosier squads shared
second place back Of Michigan in
1927.
Both Indiana and Purdue found
their greatest scoring strength this
season in sophomore material. In
diana had the greatest representa-
ton among the high scorers, which
explains its high average of 1915
points per game. Purdue ranked
second in defensive strength, while
Indiana was no better than fourth
on defense.
The co-champions won 10 games
and lost two, one of these to each
other. Indiana also was beaten by
Michigan by single point, while
Purdue lost once to Wisconsin.
Northwestern and Wisconsin, the
third place holders, made brave ef-
forts with inadequate reserves, but
in the last two weeks of the race
both faltered. Michigan, after car
~ season reverses, became the
stumbling block which upset these
two teams.

Kansas City, March 12.-tR-
The Hillyard basketball team Of st.
Joseph, NO., national A. A. u.
champion for the last two years,
is expected to meet its old rival,
the Kansas City Athletic club. in the
final round Of the annual tourna-
-1hent which begins here today.
Seven national A. A. u. tourna-
ments have been held in Kansas
City since 1921, and one or both Of
these teams always played in the
final. The athletic club won the
championship three times-in 1921,
1922 and 1923-and was runner-up
in 1924 and 1926. The Hillyards
captured the pennant in 1926 and
1927. and came out second best in
1925, when Washburn college Of
Topeka, Kas, carried off the flag.
TINS year, the Kansas City and
st. Joseph quintets met twice, and
divided the games, the national
champions winning the first, "a to
15y but losing the second, 20 to %.
Since DR.. ]. A. Reilly, physical
director Of the Kansas City Ath.
letic club, brought the first A. A.
U. tournament to Kansas City in
1921, basketball enthusiasm has be-
come intense in the middle west.
Interest in the sport has been mani
fest not only in the attendance dur
ing the week Of playing, but also
in the development of championship
material in this part Of the coun-
try. Only once has the title gone
out of Missouri or Kansas. That
WAS in 1924 when Butler college

the height and upward trend Of
his arm, the foot positions for
balance and the use of the en-.

The successful discus man need
not be tremendously large but he
should be quick and active. Above
all, he must have a sense Of rhythm.
Let me first describe the two
methods Of travelling across the
circle to deliver the discus. In the
first style, for larger and less &C.
tive boys, the athlete stands with
the body in an upright position, the
right foot just inside the back of
the circle. The arm is held fairly
close to the body. Short, somewhat
jerky preliminary swings are then
made with the throwing arm.
AS the arm descends on the actual
throw, the boy pivots on the left
foot, driving forward across the
circle and landing on both feet. A
drive is then made up on the right
leg. the shoulders are jerked around
and vigorous swing is given ia
the right arm for the throw.
The second style is more like walk.
