HEBREW STARS
JOLT CENSUS

Jewish Community Center un-
limiteds have yet to acknowledge
defeat at the hands Of a Wash
ington basketball team in their
own gymnasium. A sensational
final half squirt last night en-
abled the talented Hebrews to
overcome an early lead and upset
Earle Moser's powerful Census
Enumerators in . prettily con-
tested game on the Center floor,
1928.
After leading most Of the way
the EnumeratorS faltered before
the accurate sharpShooting and
cool team-play Of Community Cen
ter and collapsed completely when
French, Cohen and Lester sent
their team ahead with a volley OF
spectacular shots in the last
Stanza.
The Enumerators, hitherto un.
defeated, forged into an early lead
and were ahead at intermission,
It'll. The keen scoring eye of
Jake Goldblatt asserted itself in
the third period, however, and
had sent his team back into the
running before the former Techite
was banished from the game on
four personals.
Pete Nee, Census star, was
chased from the game by referee
Joe Mitchell in the last quarter
for objecting too strenuously to a
decision.

LEAGUE
MOGULS MEET

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.
When the Pacific Coast Baseball
League mogulS meet in Los
Angeles on January 8, it was pre-
dicted in baseball circles here to-
day that the Coast League would
follow the lead of the American
Association in agreeing to accept
the draft provisions as outlined
by the major leagues.
It is believed here that the
San Francisco and Sacramento
clubs are the only ones in the
league that object to the univer-
sal draft, the bone of contention
between the majors and the dou-
BILE A minors.

the Giants of that year, with
Buck Ewing catcher and Roger

other infielders; George Gore,

Phillies, by name, for BENJAMIN
Franklin Mccarthy, Joe's dad,
was a baseball fan. Joe's earliest
acquaintance with diamond stars
came when his father proudly
held him up to shake hands with
Napoleon Lajoie, whom Mccarthy
insists today was the greatest
second baseman Of all time.
Blessed with perfect health,
Mccarthy grew into q sturdy
boy, and like all American
kids Of that day and time,
he played baseball ut every
opportunity.
Like every American kid he
wanted to be q pitcher and de-
veIoped a fair curve and a good
fast ball. But it wasn't long be-
fore he found even C-eater. en-
joyment IN playing the infield.
Just at the time Honus Wagner
came into baseball fame. That
settled it. Joe would be q short

Mccarthy played on his high
school team in Philadelphia and
in 1905 matriculated at Niagara
University. He played there in
1905 and '06, and then came
the call of professional baseball.

BY FRANK (BUCK) ONEML

Joseph Vincent Mccarthy, who
starts his career as manager OF
the New York Yankees this
spring, is one of the few men In
baseball who rose to fame as q
major league manager without
benefit Of major league playing
experience. His success with the
Chicago cubs, whom he guided to
a pennant in 1929, second place
in 80, third in '28, and fourth
in '26 and '27, proved that the
quality Of leadership Is not de-
pendent upon phenominal ability
on the playing field.
Mccarthy stood on the thres-
hold Of the majors in 1915. Col.
Tillinghast Huston, Of the Yam
KEGS, tried to buy Mccarthy from
the Buffalo club, Of the Interna-
tional League. Buffalo quibbled
on the terms, demanding players
and cash and promises Of further
concessions from the Yanks until
even the good-natured Colonel
Huston could not stand the
pickering.
Signed BY FedersIs
At that time the Federal
League was operating, and Robert
n. Ward, OF the so-called "out-
laws" entered into negotiations
with Mccarthy. While Buffalo
and the Yankees dealt In words
and cajolery, Mr.. Ward said 1t
with cleaning gold dollars, and
Mccarthy signed with the Feds.
But all's well that finds Nc
Carthy with the Yankees.
| That was In the fall Of
1915, and during that winter
peace was declared between
the major legaues and the
Feds. -~
The Federal League folded up,
sold its players and Mccarthy
went from Brokolyn to the Louis
vile club of the American AS
sociation without having swung a
bat or fielding q grounder in
the outlaw league.
It was long, long trail from
Louisville to the majors, and Joe
saw many a youth get the call TO
the big time-a call that his
ability truly merited, but he
never was chosen. He passed
through the successive stages Of
minor league star player and ;uc-
cesSful manager before the astute
William Wrigley of the Chicago
Cubs sent for Mccarthy to ask
him if he thought he could sue
cessfully manage a major league
outfit.

WORK FOR
HONORS
BY GINO SINH

WHEN The washington 11meS
Southpaw Duckpin Sweepstakes
open at the Rendezvous tomorrow
night, bowling fans will have an
opportunity to watch the most
colorful group of performers in
the game. In their midst will be
men who have long been looked
upon as unusual.
Most prominent of course is
AL Work. AL has been around
local bowling alleys since Hector
was a pup, or even before that
immortal period. In his days he
has been the ranking bowler in
the city and at times the dia-
metrical opposite.
He has had a fling at every
thing. Three or four years ago he
tried ten-pins for a while. But
1t evidently was too much like
work, Il so AL unceremoniously
slipped out Of bounds.
His 208 duckpin game rolled in
1925 kept his name before the
public continuously. Everybody
wrangled over the feat.
Webb Rolls Perfect Game
His ready wit, eccentric ways
and many anecdotes related about
him, make him very palatable
subject all year around.
CrOwding the ice-peddler for
interest Is Ollie Webb. In =
quiet, modest, but effective
way the left-handed mail man
exudes gobs Of color. He is
one Of the five or six men
who have shot 1900" game.
The only one to shoot both q
200" and perfect flat game.
Last year Ollie made himself
conspicuous in the N. D. B. c. at
Waterbury. He shot 407, fin
1shed second in the doubles,
teamed with Saunders, and sew
enth in the all-events. All Of
which means that he was forced
to take quite a bundle Of kale
away with him. A distasteful
thing, no doubt.
Another "left-hander" with
plenty of glamour is Charley
Poulos, the big Greek.
And Lonnie Krauss. Alonzo is
looked upon as something of
prophet He can spot real class
in a rankest novice. Many top
notchers owe their present stand
ing to the uncanny predictions of
Lonnie.
All Have Color
Larry Fitzgerald, Benny Worm
ersley, Harry Aiken. Andy Allen,
Hymie Schecter, Phil Goodall,
Abbie Clark and dozens of others
are all imbued with that intrigu-
ing quality not found among any
other one group of people.
When the wrong arm swings
into action and every action
is backward, the shock is such
that people are fascinated.
They are puzzled and mysti-
fled. They want to see more Of
1t. Think Of seeing So Of these
strangely disordered creatures all
bowling at once. Quite a
spectacle.
Times Sweepstakes entries are
warned that rolling starts at 1880.
Owning to the fact that many
1efthanders live in out-of-the-way
places or have been too busy with
their Christmas shopping, entries
will be received up to starting
time. The entry fee is 81, includ-
ing price of games.
Lorraine GULL established an
all-time pin mark last Friday,
which escaped notice in the ex-
citement. The total of her 10
games is 1893, which is four pins
better than the mark set by Mar.
jorie Bradt Smith in December,
1928.
Lorraine rolled COS last Satur-
day, 1898, 15-game total, which
may be recognized as an all-time
mark by the N. D. B. c. GULL

Mrs. Catherine Lanman Burn
ham. SO, of the 1900 block
Geranium st. N. W., Washington,
died suddenly Sunday at Wash
ington Sanitarium here, it was
learned today.
She had been brought to the
sanitarium by her son, Charles,
with whom she lived, and was
waiting for room to be pre-
pared for her occupancy, when
she collapsed. She had been only
slightly Ill, members of her fam.
lily said.
Mrs. Burnham was a member
of a prominent Connecticut
family, and a direct descendant
of Jonathan Trumbull, governor
of that State during the Revolu-
tionary War. She is a brother
of Charles Rockwell Lanman, re-
tired professor of SanscTit of
Harvard University. Prof. Lam
man is the oldest living instruc-
tor of Harvard.
Her son. Charles, is a well.
known inventor and mechanical
engineer Mrs. Burnham also
is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. F. D. Warner, of Portland,
