ARMY IS Blind
To VIC WAC

WEST POINT, N. Y, Nov. b.
a renewal OF the Army Navy game
in 1929 may be fine Navy dream,
but they know nothing about 1t here.
A montlr>ago Major Fleming, ath-
1etic director at the Point, announced
that the Army schedule for 1929 had
been completed and there would be
no game with Navy.
The major is still sticking by his
guns.
We've heard nothing from Navy
on the matter and know nothing of
their schedule plays Major Flem-
ing added. IF they have left Novem.
Der 80 open they have done so with
out any word with us on the matter,
and a change in the Army schedule
now would be impossible. We sim
ply haven't IN open date left for
next year, and the Notre Dame
game scheduled November 3 has be-
come such fixture it would be i'm
possible to switch it now"

perhaps he won't want to take the

EX-CHAIV|P
TO-DAY
By Davis J. Walsh

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Tex Rick
ard is supposed to be coming into
town from Florida today with an
offer to Dempsey that will run so
far into six figures that later they
may have to add a seventh to take
care of the golden overflow.
1t is the writer's understanding
that Dempsey will be shown more
money, or its equivalent. as a pos
sible title contender than ever he
got as champion, and he always got
what might be termed approxi-
mately enough. The Philadelphia
fight with Tunney previously was
the big killing OF his career, more
than $70O, 900 being taken for a long,
steady ride.

GIRL St Ar
WOULD Fit
IN LINEUP

The only southpaw bowling
team in Washington bemoans
the lack of a rival.
A challenge to all the I'M
organized forkhand duckpin
talent in town was flung to-
day by the Temple Southpaws,
of the Eastern League, cap
tanned by A. w. Allen.
Nobody barred who rolls left
handed" said Allen, 'and | know
there are some crack southpaws
not on our team.
Aliens regulars, besides himself,
are Bennie WomersIey, Jim Bridges,
Pap Pappaluda and Bill Aiken. The
Temples are far out front in the
/. Eastern League pennant race.
The mention Of star south
paws Immediately summons to
mind one Al Work. who, beyond
doubt is the greatest of the
Washington crop and whose
fame is national.
A quick glance over the field re-
veals more than enough material
to make up team easily capable
of making it hot for Aliens unique
lineup. Add the names of Ollie
Webb, Lefty Goodall and Lonnie
krauss to Works and together
they spell possible trouble for the
Temples. For a fifth member it
might be suggested, and with no
cause for the Temples manly pride
being pinched, that Miss Rena Levy
be invited to the party. She bowls
better than nine-tenths of all the
males. be they right or wrong
handed.
IOnnie krauss hasn't per-
formed with any regularity for
years, but he would not want
for backing in series of games
with any sOuthpaW i'm the land,
given week or two to get back
the headpin range. Webb is
one Of the strongest bowlers in
independent play that the city
owns and GOOdall is no setup
for anybody.
The odds probably would be
against the Temples in a battle with
this select lineup.
Bring EN- on"' urges Allen.
This weeks bowling card will fea-
ture a @clash at the King Pin BE-
tween the King Pin Stars and the /
Baltimore Bowling Center team.
Two weeks ago in Baltimore the
King Pins shot a sparkling set to
pick up an S7-pin margin. They
will play five games at the KING
Fin Saturday night, total pins TO
decide the winner.
Some of the haSt
seen in intercity play marked the
second game in Baltimore. which
the King Pins won by score of
640 to 597. The two teams totaled
1,237 in this skirmish, an individual
average of 1887.
A couple Of newcomers to in.
tercity strife will be brought
over by the Bowling Center
team. They are Arthur Waters
and Ray Barnes. Barnes has
been averaging 118 and holds
all the records of the wilkins
Avenue League. Waters has
been shooting scnsatiOnaIIy TO
win high place among RaIti-
nOre'S stars.
The scores may not be powerful. /
but the battle should be warm when
the District Firemen oppose the

match Saturday night on the
Bethesda alleys. John Mooney is

1t is known that Rickard mas
called Dempsey on the long distance
telephone, not once, but many
times during his vacation in the
South and, Of course, their con.
versation simply dealt in generali
ties. Rickard is like that. His
abiding weakness is a desire to
give the telephone company
break Tub-hearted Tex. they call
him.
Anyhow, it may be significant
that the gentlemen seems to have
altered his viewpoint in two par
ticulars since he departed our midst.

better fights by making his mugs

KANSAS CITY, June 12.-When the

the statement of Senator Ware, it was
Old Reliable Bill Donaldson, superin-

ployes, who is here to get a plank in
the Republican platform indorsing clas-
Sitication of Government employees,

used to be his old home town, and he
retains his voting residence here. AS
a matter of fact. he has had a voting
residence in eight States.
Mr.. Steward left Kansas City 10 do
