HUGE
CROWD FOR
BOUTS

Tonight the Clark Griffith Sta
dunn will be the scene of one of
the greatest sports spectacles in
the history of the city when the
mammoth wrestling show for the
benefit Of the Job Fund is staged.
A coterie of the most formidable
wreStlers in the country will dis
port for local fans and a crowd in
excess of 10000 is the outlook.
Many who have never witnessed
q wrestling match have purchased
tickets in advance for they wish
to see such notables of the maui
ing industry as Sergei Kalmikoff,
the bearded gentleman of unlimit-
ed strength; Dick Shikat, Rudy
Dusek, Jim McMillen and others.
Best Program Ever
Joe Turner says it is the best
card he has put together since he
left the game as an active wrestler
and turned promoter. Here's
what Turner says of tonight's
show:
every match is a natural
and red.hOt action is promised.
1 am positive that the fans will
surely appreciate every bout
and I also feel confident that
the crowd will be in excess of
10000, establishing new at
tendance for wrestling matches
here"
Women wrestling fans of the
District who adore handsome
Billy Bartush may switch their
affections to Pinkie Gardner,
world lightheavyweight cham
pion, after tonight. Gardner is
one of the best-looking men in
wrestling and is unmarried, de-
spite his long years in the game.
Musical Entertainment
Musical entertainment will be
provided by the Overseas Mil
itary Band, Drum and Bugle
Corps of the Veterans Of Foreign
wars. This corps is composed
of $50 pieces.
It's difficult to pick any par
ticular match that will be the
most popular, though the Rudy
Dusek-Jim McMillen and Sergei
Kalmikoff-Dick Shikat matches
may draw the most notice.
Local fans are anxious to see
what KalmikOff will do under
stress of strong opposition such
as Shikat will provide. They
know that KalmikOff has
strength but they are also
aware of the fact that Shikat
has intelligence which he well
uses.
McMillen and DuSek should
also put on a contest that ought
to tickle the fans with glee. Both
are powerful, with the endurance
of an elephant.
Here are the other bouts, all
worthwhile attractions: Billy
Bartush VS.. Floyd Marshall.
"Tigah" Nelson VS.. DR.. Ralph
Wilson, Tiny Roebuck VS.. Jim

terday as Chicago fell before
Washington, 20.
One of these knocks, however,
was a home run by Catcher
Roy Spencer in the second frame.
The ball, which fan in a lower
left field box reached out ana
caught on a line, represented
Roy's initial 1881 boundary belt.
Another run was tailed in the
eighth without so much as Q
hit. Kuhel got a two-base life
when Reynolds muffed his fly IN
deep right. Sam Rice was sub
stituted as runner.
Spencer sacrificed Rice to
third and Jones walked. On
a perfectly executed squeeze
play, Hayes sent Sammy across
the plate with the games final
count.
Chicago unleashed it's real
threat in the last heat. Two
were gone when Tate singled over

as the runner. Pinch-hitter Foth:
ergill aroused White Sox. hopes
by singing Tate to third. Lyons
Immediately was substituted for
Roly-Poly Bob.
The strategy proved non-avail'
ing. however. when Mel SimonS,
former Griffman and still an.
other pinch-batsman, let third
strike go by.
Sam Jones, winning his fourth
game of the year without re.
verse, was in old-time form. He
had plenty on his fast one, and
his hook and change of pace kept
the opposition guessing through.

DAVE HARRIS

FOR PLACE.

CHICAGO, May also far as
I'm concerned right. field Is wide

today.
"The two Rices can Outclass
Dave Harris defensively but he
can sock the ball. Consequently

fense, Dave will get the call.
Gas it stands 1 intend using
Harris in the Outfield against
the more troublesome left
handlers. At present, however,
Sammy Rice ordinarily will fill
in at his old position"
Yesterdays box score shows
that Harris, in one Of his few 1881
starts, emerged hitless. The She
riff met the ball Justify, however,
and was deprived of at least two
base hits because some alert out
fielder came through with sensa-
tional catches.
Carl Reynolds was the hero
of at least two stabs off Dawes
bat.
Double Role For FirpO
In future American L ague
games Fred Marberry is to enact
a DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde role.
Marberry, whose stamina has
stood him in good stead since
his advent into the big time,
not only is to start games here
after, but will be used in relief
when his team is desirouS of
holding a lead.
When the club is trailing and
needs a rescue man, Irving Had
ley will be summoned to the
slab. This combination. it is
thought, will save many a ball
game for the pennant aspiring
Griffs.
Several American League
clubs are in the market for
Hadley. Cleveland is one of
the strongest bidders.

Second Baseman Buddy Myer

club for an indefinite period.
Jackie Hayes, who has been sub

is scheduled to remain on the

Myer, who injured his wrist in
collision with Ed Morgan dur
ing the recent Cleveland series,
took his turn in batting practice
yesterday. The little Southerner
wasted no time quitting when he
discovered that his aching wrist
affected his swing.
Because his boy was under.

Rumors that Lew was dis
pleased with his original 1881 con-
tract were speedily dispelled when
he made an appearance here.

acres, compared with the revised esti-
mate OF $4,000 acres sown in the Fall
OF 1929, according to the report of Rich

Maryland and Delaware.
Paintings of Winter rye are about 20
per cent greater this Fall than in 1929
in Maryland, the acreage being esti-
mated at about $4,000 acres In 1880,
compared with $4,000 acres in 1929.
The long-continued drought of the
past Summer Is largely responsible for
the decreased paintings of wheat in
Maryland. The soil was so dry at plant
ing time that many farmers heSitated to
sow wheat, and many failed to SOW their
usual acrsages. In some sections it was
so dry during the Summer that farmers
were not able to pillow and prepare the
usual acreages for seeding. It was evil
dent, too, from farmers reports, that
with conditions unfavorable for germi-
nation of wheat, there was q tendency
for growers to seed part of their usual
wheat acreage to rye, which is harder.
