MAY START

There IL a possibility that Isl
Hogarth. Eastern guard, who winds
up his scholastic athletic career IN
the game against Business at the
Arcadia tomorrow afternoon, will
play throughout the entire contest.
This would be in recognition for
his great service to Eastern Qu1ntS
in 1926 and 1927.
Up to recent games, Hogarth has
been unable to show the class OF
other years, but Tuesday he gave
a wonderful exhibition in the Cen
trail game and Coach Charlie Gnyon
probably feels that he deserves
some token for his splendid work.
Hogarth is to graduate Tuesday
night.
Chick Essex is another Fast
ernite who will dOff his high
school athletic attire tomorrow
following the SIxirmish with
the StenOgraphers. Essex has
been q regular guard I'm series
games. but there is a chance
that he won't start against the
Stenograplers.
Nate Shapiro may replace Essex
or Heinie Hoffman may be shifted
to guard with Parker Faber going
to a forward berth.
Eastern is not regarding Business
with any contempt despite the fact
that Coach Lynn Woodworth's crew
has failed to score a victory. Bust
ness has given tough battles to Cen.
trail and Western and was barely
nosed out by spirited spurts. No
changes are contemplated in the
Business lineup.
Western will have an OppOr-
tunity to console itself for
that disheartening performance
against Tech In the first-haH
series.
The Georgetowners again grapple
with the Manual Trainers tomorrow
and are resolved that, If beaten. 1t
won't be by a disgraceful 61.15
count. Western was at its worst
that day and Tech mounted its peak.
Tech must win tomorrow to remain
on an even level with Central, which
now leads the race.
Following tomorrow games, there
will be a delay in the series for a
week as the Arcadia will be used Tor
a fashion show.

WEEB()XERS
LOOKBEST
BY Gene Tunney
World Heavyweight Champion

1t is with a definite sense of mis-
giving that have come to realize
that the year of 1927 has passed
on without developing q single new
pugiIist who proved an outstanding
performer in any division, one OF
those men among men, as 1t were.
Instead, the year saw some OF the
good old guard pass along and
others give unmistakable evidence
that they are about to follow.
1t would have been an excellent
moment for another Ketchel or
another Leonard to appear on the
horizon. But. somehow az If the
ciAlly. we seem to have lost the
trick Of finding and developing our
ring irnmortals.
There were several new cham
pions crowned during 1927 but none
Of them gave any outward sign
that they were destined for great
ness. have in mind Joe Dundee,
who won the welterweight title
from Pete Latzo; Mickey Walker,
who got a disputed decision over
the late Tiger Flowers at the sun

They are good men or they
wouldn't have gotten where
they are. But, from what they
have shown to date, am afraid
that their names will not go
down to pOsterity.
Corners" Of the year are found in
the lightweight division, namely
Jimmy McLarnin and Billy Wallace.
Neither, possibly. is destined for real
greatness but there seems TO be no
doubt that they uncovered cham.

ite kind.

division and for FrenChie Belanger.

FANSHERE
BY Louis A. Dougher

Washington fans are sure to snow
plenty of interest in the Cleveland
Indians. In the first place the ever
popular Billy Evans is the new gen.
eral manager. Then, Roger Peck
inpaugh, whose glorious playing in
1924 and 1925 helped greatly to bring
pennants to the Capital, is the new
field manager. Last, but not exactly
least. Hank Shanks, for years big
favorite here in the outfield, is the
new coach. Then, IL Joe Judge
eventually succeeds George Burns
at first base, still another reason
will be seen for the popularity OF
the Indians in Washington.
Just what sort of a team the
Indians will offer their followers IN
April remains a problem to be
solved. Billy Evans was rebuffed In
every attempt he made during the
fall and winter to arrange deals. His
greatest defeat was failure to benefit
from three-cornered trade with the
Griffs and Browns. He expected to
land Joe Judge in that deal. Joe Is
