BUCHHOLZ HOST
TOSCHMEL|NG

Promoter Joe Turner, who is
bringing Max Schmeling to Wash
ington Thursday to exhibit his
training methods between wrest-
ling bouts at the Auditorium, to-
day named Fred Buchholz, popu-
lar Washington restauranteer and
sportsman, as chairman of the
citizens committee which will ar
range for Schmeling's entertain
ment while in Washington.
Buchholz has acted heretofore
in a similar capacity when dis
tinguished champions in the
various lines of sport endeavor
have visited Washington, as did
his father, the late Gus Buch-
holZ.
Turner found it necessary to
divide Schmeling's time in Wash
ington with various interests
which have offered to entertain
the heavyweight champion, and
being too busy with his mat pro,
gram and promotion, asked Buch-
holz to take Schmeling in charge
on his arrival here, Buchholz
cheerfully accepting.

LOOKS
To NOONAN

big Bill" Noonan, lanky center,
is Chief Charley Guyon's best bet
to stop an alert Central High
School basketball team today.
Furthermore, an interhigh series
championship hinges around his
efforts.
When the light Blue and White
engages Central in the finale of
the regular bi-weekly double-hea
at Tech High School, Noonan
will be the games most feared
performer.
In first-roUnd play against Cen
tral, Noonan was indisposed. De-
spite the fact he attempted to
carry on. AS a consequence, his
club was smeared decisively.
Business Formidable
Therefore Big Bill will be look
ing for vengeance when today'S
contest gets under way. And,
judging from recent perform
ances. he should get it.
Tech, two times champion
and the only team that has
a fighting chance to tie East
ern for the series leadership,
faces Business in the matinee.
Should Tech win today while
Eastern loses, the series-offi-
cially that is-will wind up in a
deadlock.
Under such conditions, how
ever, Central undoubtedly would
be awarded a forfeit because Of
Techs use Of an ineligible
player-Everett johnson - some
weeks ago. The clever Tech
guard, it is claimed, was used be-
fore actually attaining scholastic
standing.
Two Threats
Whether Mckinley can stop
Business or not, however, is a
question in itself. The plucky
orange and blue sent Eastern
into an extra period before losing
Tuesday. And, it is thought,
Lynn Woodworth'S Sharpshooters
have a splendid opportunity Of
upsetting the Gray today.
The more or less difficult as
signment of locking up an inter
high series basketball champion
ship today rests on the broad
shoulders of big Bill Noonan-
Eastern High Schools towering
center.
The light blue and white, in
first round play, fell before its
arch enemy. At the time, how
ever, Noonan was in poor physi-
cal condition.

Miami Gives Primo Camera Royal Welcome His A71Uc
Today's
Sponorial'
RE- HTRH MTTIER
BY KIRK MILLER

A man who ought to know
whereof he speaks, because he
has been close to baseball for
the better part of four
decades, has picked an all-time,
all-star baseball team that seems
to stack up pretty well. The
team should please Washing
tonians particularly, because
Walter johnson is picked as
one of the four greatest twirlerS
who ever graced the game.
Former Governor John K.
Tener, of Pennsylvania, once
president of the National League,
has picked the team, and in
picking it he draws from his
experience as far back as when
he was a pitcher in the days
of Adrian Anson's Chicago Colts
up to and through mis- regime
as head man of the older league.
Briefly, Tener's intimacy with
baseball commences with the
beginning of the organized
game, and for that reason his
opinions are valuable to the
fan who loves his winter dope.
Mr.. Tener picks Buck Ewing
as the greatest catcher of all
time and few of ancient or
modern baseball knowledge will
find any quarrel with such a
choice. Old timers who have
seen the current crop as well
as the stars of other years, tell
us Buck Ewing was the peer of
any man who ever caught with
or without mask or chest pro
tector.

BIG VENETIAN
BEGINS GRIND
NEXT WEEK

MIAMI, Feb. 10.-Primo Car
nera, in person, has arrived IN
Miami, scene of his next fight
and without extending himself IN
the least he has taken the play
away from all the various and
local attractions, m
cluding the Acton whale on exhl-
bition in Biscayne Bay.
Sometime next week, after ne
has acclaimed himself to the
swank Miami Beach and Palm
Beach, Carnera will begin train.
ing for his scheduled lO-round
bout against Jimmy Maloney, the
Boston fat boy, at the Madison
Square Gardens social. Prior to
Primo's arrival last night, the
ballyhoo of the Carnera-Maloney
battle of who cares" had fallen
flat. Maloney has been in town,
dipping his pudgy torso in the
Atlantic daily, but no one, not
even the advance guard of timer
ant sports scribes-give him a
tumble. The natives had shown
no interest whatever in the BoS-
tonian.
But when Carnera ambled
in, towering over his fellow
men, everything changed. Not
since the circus left town was
there such excitement.
Natives and tourists alike
thronged the railroad station and
gaped at the Italian man noun
tain. They sWarmed all over
the premises and followed the big
fellow through the streets all the
way to his hotel. City officials,
American Legion men and Ma
tional Guardsmen were in the
welcoming gathering.
The acting mayor dug up an
other one of those keys to the
city and laid it into the biggest
right hand in America today,
thereby placing Carnera on the
same status as a nationally popu-
lar megaphone crooner who was
rendered the key to the city only
the other day.
Cameras appetite was affected
by the change in climate. He
wasn't himself at dinner. He was
able to consume only four orders
of antipasto, six orders Of
spaghetti, three full sized steaks,
four orders of spinach and three
pitchers of water. He decided to
forego dessert, but promised he
would be feeling better shortly.
A nine-fOOt bed was installed
in Cameras hotel quarters SO
that he can regain some degree
of comfort after his long ride
from New York in a berth. 1t
is asserted by the suddenly
stimulated ballyhO department
that he had to sleep with his
dogs in the aiSleS. A porter
tried to pick up his feet, think.
ing they were SatchelS.
This afternoon Carnera will di-
rect traffic on a downtown cor
ner for half an hour. Tonight
he will be guest at a high-toned
surf club at the beach. Other
"pugS" will be there, including
Mickey Walker, who fights
Johnny Risko here on February
"a.
Later in the week it is planned
to show Carnera at the Hialeah
race track, at Coral Gables and
at Palm Beach. Some time next
week, after the novelty Of his
presence has worn off, he will go
through the motions Of training
for his setto with Maloney.
The consensus of sports writer's
in Miami is that Carnera Is a
cinch to win, even though Ma
loney holds decision over the

EHMKE WILL
SHOW AGAIN
W|THA'S
BY LES CONKLIN

Dy LcS OONNAAAN
NEW YORK, Feb. 10. - AS the
various big league squads prepare
to invade the grapefruit belt to
inaugurate the training season,
the chief topic of conversation
among baseball men is the effect
that the new or snail" model ball
will have on pitching and batting
during the coming campaign.
This intriguing subject has
more angles than an old maid just
completing an 18 day Hollywood
diet. Much has been written
about the probability of last years
record major league home run
crop of 1865 being cut down to
something like 1880. An equally
interesting feature is that many
old-time hurlerS, who seemed
doomed to pass out of the picture,
now have an excellent chance to
make a comeback.
New Record
Any day now you may expect 70
lead that such ancientS as JACK
Quinn and Bill Doak have been
5igned by big league club.
Howard Ehmke, hero OF the 1879
world series, already has decided
% take another fling with the
Athletics.
If Wee Willie Sherdel is traded
20 Brooklyn, the Boston Braves
will get more in return for him
han they would have gotten be-
ore the new ball was adopted by
The National League last week.
The heavier cover and
raised stitches of the new ball
will infuSe new life into the
pitching arms of other veterans
such as Clarence Mitchell,
Jess HaineS, Tom Zachary, Ed
Rixey and Joe Genewich.
The cover on the American
eague ball is the same weight
IS the. cover of the jack rabbit
rariety. Neither will there be
my change in the amount OF
quality of rubber, cork and wool
comprising the ball, so that If
UGH Sluggers as Babe Ruth and
IL Simmons hit the pellet on the
lose it will travel as far as
yer. But the raised stitches,
imilar to those on the National
eague ball, will enable the
ltchers to grip the horSehide
lore firmly and put more spin
n the ball.
Lefty Grove believes he will
= able to set new strike-out
3cord and also win 80 games
lis. season.
Ed Rommel of the same club
links the raised seams will
AXE his knuckle ball much more
Elective and enable him to get
ITO the box score more often.
Dther American League pitching
eterans who expect to take a
ew lease on life are Red Faber,
f.erb Pennock, Sam Gray and
Ted Lyons.
Encouraged Second RaterS
Another angle is that old man
psychology will be out there CIV
ing the hurlers moral support.
Many a discouraged boxman who
has been handicapped by the
knowledge that a couple of long
wallops might break up the game
at any moment. now will work
with more confidence and con-
sequently with much more effec-
tiveness.
Second rate hurlers, in fact,
-rill benefit more than mound
;ars of the first grade. The
lively ball meant little last year
20 such hurlers as Grove, Lefty
Tallahan and Yves Ferrel when
they were right" At the top
OF their form, not even the jack
rabbit could beat them.

clean pair of white cords. And, If
one is careful, they will probably
still be clean enough Tuesday to

fidence. Wednesday and Thursday,
however, are an entirely different
