man discharging fire crackers. Leaping
from his automobile the detective
rushed across the street preparing to
seize the man.
Turning on the policeman, the col
ored man fred steady stream at him
from a roman candle. Gravely, to
escape the fire, sought refuge behind
trees and other barricades.
The one-sided battle continued until
the colored man, realizing his ammu-
milton was rapidly decreasing, fired sew
eral parting shots and escaped through
an alley. Gravely was not struck dur
ing the battle.

-HERE have been some who
doubted Fred Marberry's ability
to perform as starting pitcher.
He had served too long In re-
lief roles to know how to con-
serve his energy, something starting
pitcher must be able to do, was their
contention. Perhaps these skeptics
may have to revise their opinions. One
panne doesn't make a pitcher any more
than one robin makes Spring. but
Marberry showed enough yesterday
when he pitched the Nationals to their
first victory of the young season TO
convince many he knows quite a lot
about the pitching art and can save
something for the pinches instead OF
throwing everything he has into the
first few innings Of a contest.
While the Nationals were struggling
to a 3-to-1 triumph, Marberry held
the Carrigan crew to I'VE widely scat
tered hits and three passes and several
times pitched himself out OF dangerous
situations, Three times the first Red
Sox I'D in an inning got on the run

the circuit
In the second session, a single fol-
lowed q pass to the opening batter,
then came a double play and hoist
to an outfielder Harold Rhyme began
the Red Sox fourth with a double. but
never advanced beyond second base.
Goose Goslin got Marberry in trouble
at the outset Of the sixth by making a
two-base muff Of Jack Rothrock's loft
to short left. In justice to the Goose,
it should be said the glaring sun in
terfered greatly with the outf1elder.
Rothrock got no further than third
base.
The Red Sox did back a pass with a
two-bagger in the fifth, but two were
out at the time and Phil Todt, try
ing to count from first on the drive,
was caught with ease. The lone Boston
tally was made after the Nationals had
done their scoring. Two were out In
the eighth when Rothrock, after taking
two strikes, worked Marberry for free
ticket to first. Along came Rhyme with
q triple over Red Barnes head. The
rally died quickly. for Russell Scarritt

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 20.-There really
should be no doubt now that Jimmy
Maloney of Boston is much better
man in the ring than Con OKelly,
late of County Cork.
Maloney, riding high on the crest OF
a comeback campaign he hopes will
place him back in the running for the
heavyweight title. stopped O'Kelly in
the third round of their l0-round match
in Jess McMahon's new coliseum here
last night. 1t was their third meeting.
O'Kelly held Maloney to draw in
their first clash at Madison Square
Garden, dropped decision to the Bos-
tonian at Boston and now suffers the
ignominy of technical knockout.
Maloney took the first round without
dispute He was leading in the second
until he landed blow into foul terri
tory. More in anger than pain. O'Kelly
staged a fierce rally that gained him
the round.
The third went only So seconds before

The WEIGHTS were Maloney, 2O31s;

RECRUIT TO START
AGAINST HUB TEAM
Underhand Pitcher Is Held
Ready for Regular Use
by Nationals.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

A DOLPH JAMES LISKA, most
" promising of recruit pitchers
In with the Nationals. Is to make
IL his American League debut as
game starter in Griffith
Stadium tomorrow afternoon. Manager
Walter johnson has announced he Will
send the young underhand hurler
against the Red Sox of Boston, and that
he expects Ad to make the going most
unpleasant for the Nationals guests.
1t will not be Liska's first time in a
big league contest, though. On opening
day-last Wednesday, to be exact-Ad
made the manager regret that the
youngster had not then been picked as
the game starter by going into the fray
after Sad Sam Jones and E. Garland
BraXton had been Smacked to smither-
Gems and holding the rampaging White
Elephants to nothing in the last four
innings.
Such a splendid effort was Liska's in
the season inaugural that Manager
johnson decided to sent the recruit into
action at the beginning OF contest at
the first favorable opportunity. and the
Sunday tilt with the Red Sox seems
just the spot. So Bill Carrigan's bunch
will look over some odd deliveries TO-
morrow, weather permitting.
Third Season In Game.
riska's career in base ball-profes-
sional base ball. that is-haS been brief
but bright. This is only his third sea-
son in the paid game. He entered pro-
fessional ranks in 1927, putting in three
weeks with the DeS MoineS, Iowa, club;
two months with the Burlington, Iowa
outfit, and finally finishing the season
with the Lincoln. Nebr., team.
He has not always been an under
hand finger. During his four years OF
play with the high school team Of his
home town, Dwight, Neb, he was strictly
an overland thrower, and good one
at that, according to reports.
But when he moved up to Des Moines
he developed kink in his arm and
could not heave overland. Fearing he
might get out Of condition, Liska con-
tinued to throw, but employed an un-
derhand delivery. He did not do much
pitching for Des Moines, but with Bur-
lington he managed to get along right
well as an underhander and he became
really good during his short service
with Lincoln.
From Lincoln he was purchased By
the Minneapolis Club of the American
Association and Minneapolis was fal
from sorry it purchased him. Las
season with the Millers, the youngstel
turned in 20 victories and dropped but
four games. He had one winning streak
Of nine games.
And now it seems that Washington
IS not to regret the $4,000 1t paid the
Millers for Liska. He improved with
each trial during the Spring training
series and he was used often then. Hi
looked especially good against the Ath'
letics last Wednesday, and combining
excellent control with his battling de.
livery. this 22-year-old recruit ought tc
get along quite well as a big time per.
former.

Marberry Shows Hurting Class
AS Nationals Score First Win

Big Ed for six safeties and three walks,
and four of the safeties and two of the
walks helped toward scores. Big Ed
kicked in with a wild pitch to help. too.
Morris retired after the seventh inning
and in the eighth the Nationals raised
their hit total for the day to seven, at
the expense of young Ed Durham.
Goslin gave the fans a scare in the
second session when he let Todt's ny
get out of his hands. There was Red
Sox runner at third with two out at
the time, but the Goose recovered the
ball before 1t reached the ground.

ond homeward.

demise at the plate. There being two

of the bat, but West retrieved the ball
as the Red Sox runner neared third
and Hayes relay Of Sammy's throw

Bigelow, one Of the flock sent to
Boston in exchange for Myer, failed to
live up to his reputation as a slugger
when he batted for Heving in the fifth.
Marberry whitfield him with three
pitches.
Only spectacular fielding by Regain
and Todt kept Nationals away from the
plate in the fifth. Regain barely
managed to cuff down Myers hard
grounder and hold 1t to single, while
Todt almost had a hand torn off by
Goslin's terrific smash in checking its
progress to a double at least.
Four stolen bases were registered by
the Nationals. two by Bluege. Two Of
the thefts figured in Washington runs.
Benny Tate handled the catching job
admirably for the Nationals. He got
under three fouls in fine fashion and
whipped out Scarritt. the only Red
Sox who tried to steal. Benny also
socked a double in three legal times
