De WITT SHAPES
PASS At TACK

The Dewitt Prep and Gonzaga
High eIevens this afternoon viii
end strenuous training for their
prep school championship contest
Saturday afternoon in the Clark
Griffith Stadium at 2 o'clock. The
rivals have been placed to terrific
grind as the coaches are seeking
to have the players well-condi-
toned
Jim Mcnamara, coach al Dewitt
Prep. will have no regrets to offer
il his team is beaten. Mcnamara
has been drilling his squad In
long sessions that lasted far after
dusk and has labored much with
his line.
II am seeking to perfect our
passing attack and strengthen the
line" spoke Mcnamara. Our line
is green and weak and there's
where Gonzaga will have the edge
on us. Gonzaga has fast and
experienced line and our lads must
outcharge their forwards.
"Our backfield Is polished as
every member of the secondary
defense is strong on the de-
fense and are able ball-carriers.
They back up the line Splen-
didly and they'll prove barriers
for any GOnZaga halfback, who
crashes through our line.
Il am looking to Bill Gilbane to
prove sensation against GonZaga.
He has been out practically the
entire season with an injured foot,
but he's in shape now and this
runner will give the GonZaga lads
many headaches on Saturday. He's
honey for carrying that ball, /"
closed Mcnamara.
Gilbane is Devitt's lace in the
hole" He has been inactive since
the early part of the season when
he was placed out of commission.
He played in one period of a later
game. but his football activities
to date can almost be placed at
the zero mark. Gilbane ends his
prep school career on Saturday.
He is to enter West Point.
Milton Abramson and Capt. Fran
els Knott are other backfield mem.
bers of the Dewitt eleven who are
liable to bring dismay to the Eye
Streeters on Saturday. Knott Is
reputed to be the best-conditioned
player on either team and Abram-
son Is feared for his tricky runs.
he mas torn off several long romps
for touchdowns this year and may
deal out some of his specialties
against Gonzaga.

Tommy McTaggart is the only
jockey in the history of racing
who attempted a comeback and
came back on horseback.
Tommy was out OF the saddle for

he might ride a winner. but they
never expected him to put his name

Glenn Wolstenholme, the
mighty pin mauler of Conven-
ton Hall, hungers for battle.
He wants a revival OF the
Individual matches that stirred
the bowling mob three sea-
sons ago as it had never been
moved before.
The fans packed the alleys tighter
than thly have done for the How
ard Campbell Sweepstakes. an event
that really grew out OF the singles
affairs which brought together such
stars as Earl McPhiiomy, Max
Rosenberg. AL Work, Perce Elicit,
Howard Campbell. and Wolsten-
holme.
Individual. or "head-to-head" COM
petition, virtually ceased when
Howard Campbell put over the
sweepstakes idea.
Wolstenholme today focused on
the constellation of stars whom he
classes as prospective victims or
conquerors.
His list includes Max ROsen-
berg, AL Work, Jack Whalen,
Perce Elicit, Howard Campbell,
Dutch Weidman and Paul Har-
fisOn, and AL Fischer. Beside
Fischer's name is a question
mark. AL won the singles
championship Of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress but
otherwise his record is not such
as to give him . place among
fIna otEeF.a named
Wolstenholme cleaned up in the
singles matches here. Moreover, he
defeated the outstanding stars of
national fame, including principally
Paul PoEler, of Boston and Barney
Spinella, of Brooklyn. He Is re-
garded as the unofficial world
champion Of duckpins. One noted
New York bowling writer went so
far as to term him the greatest
bowler living, overlooking to specify
the type OF game rolled.
Tt wasn't Wolstenholme's inten-
tion to name. arbitrarily. the men
who should be given shot at his
crown.
"If they want to hold individual
matches again." he said, 'the
bowlers should be selected by a
committee of the Washington City
Duckpin Association"
Glenn believes, however, that
he should be the last to roll that
the others should fight it out
for a crack at him. This sounds
fair enough, ip view of the fact
that Wolstenholme had to battle
his way to a match with Earl
McPhiIomy, who held top rank
at the time Of the original
singles competition.
In wolstenhoIme's list are four
bowiers who did not take part in
the battles of three years ago. They
are Weidman, who Is averaging
around 120 in the National Capital
League: Whalen, who won the Dis
trict League championship last sea-
son; Paul Harrison, a STRIPPING,
whose general average for four
leagues is about III, and Fischer,
who became famous overnight as
singles champion of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress.
McPhilomy has retired from the
game, at least for this season. There
is possibility that he will try his
strength in the Campbell Sweep
stakes, but his absence from league
play eliminates him from a place
among those deserving of a chance
at Wolstenholme's title.
Wolstenholme would have each Of
the stars represent an alley, his own
choice being Convention Hall

.NOHAWKS HAVE
VET IN MYERS

One of the oldest sandlot foot
ballers in the District will he seen
on the field when the Mohawks and
Apaches clash Sunday afternoon in
the Clark Griffith Stadium at 2:30
o'clock for the District sandlot
championship. He Is known as
Johnny Bow Wow" Myers, the
Mohawk center.
Myers mas been active on the
sandlot for more than 10 years ard
admits to 80 years of age today. In
last years game Myers played a.
great game and endeavored to stir
up the tagging spirit of the Mo-
hawks.
His bald pate is visible whenever
his headguard Is removed, and his
creaking limbs and aged bones give
audible sounds. Yet, this gnarled
veteran defies younger contem-
poraries and manages to put up a
slashing game. Sandlot followers.
with each new September, expect
him to be absent, but Johnny is on
hand for one more fling.
The forthcoming game is at
tracing unusual interest be-
cause the sports fraternity is
aware that the Apacnes arc
now champions and will be re-
ceived with more favor this
Sunday. Last year. the fans
were somewhat skepticaI of the
Apaches' class as a result of
their yearly defeats at the hands
of the Mohawks. This year, the
impression is different. They
are sure i'm their minds that a
keen competitive fray is in the
Offing.
With an amicable settlement of
the wrangle over the terms ,eligi-
bility lists and officials, every bar
rier has been removed, and both
teams are awaiting the whistle that
will send them into action.
Vic Schmidt, of Baltimore, has
been chosen as referee with Paul
pire. Mike Kelley, Eastern High
coach. has been named as head
linesmen with DR.. f. J. Cummings,
of this city. and George w. Hoban,
of Baltimore, as the altcrnates.
Sandlot football enthusiasts will
see preponderance Of former col
lege celebrities in the personnels of
the rivals. The Apaches have but
three ex-college performers, but the
Mohawks are dotted with the rah-
rah boys. Coach "Zuke" Supplee,
Fred Linkous and Waters, all from
Maryland, are numbered with the
Apaches. Coach Craig Wilton, OF
Georgia Tech and George Washing
ton; Plank and Kendall, OF George
Washington; Kinney of st. Bona
ventures; Thorpe, Dewey and
BrunelIe, of the Quantieo Marines;
Howard, of Buckncll; Abbotticcio,

Cash Prizes Offered
In Slogan Contest

In an effort to determine which
one the six distinctive Yale-Bond
features is of greatest popular
appeal, the Bond Electric Com
pany is conducting national
slogan contest in which 1888 sep
arate awards are offered, accord
ing. to NJ. w. Smith local manager

man, woman and child, an oppor-
tunity to share in the prizes which
have tota; value of $4,000.
There are no essays to write, no

ducts and who have thoroughly
