BASE
PROBLEM IN
MAJORS

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Joe Nc
Carthy, who admits he doesn't
know who will start the season at
second base for the Yankees, IS
but one of many big league mana
gers who are worried about this
important infield position. :,
The woods are full of second
sackers who can field their posi-.
ton with brilliance, but few OF
them can propel the horSehide 70
distant barriers with enough con
sistency to strike terror in the
hearts of opposing pitchers. For
tunate, indeed, is the pennant
contender boasting of a second
baseman who can both Rt ana
field. :.
Frisch, of the st. Louis Cardi-
nails; Grantham, of the Pirates,
and Fresco Thompson, of Brook
lyn, are the only second-sackers
in the National League who seem
certain of playing the full season
at their position. And Thompson
may be replaced by Jake Flowers
or young Neal Finn if he gets the
shakes, as he did at Philadelphia
last year, when the fans started
to ride him.
CritZ Menaced
Hughey Critz, of the Giants,
will have to step to keep young
Eddie Marshall from getting his
Job. While Critz accepted more
chances than any other second
baseman in the league last sea-
son and is dandy pivot man on
double plays, he batted only .26O
against Marshalls 300 average.
John McGraw is sweet on the
youngster, who can play either
ShortStop or at second.
Rogers HOrnsby says he is
going to play second base for
the Cubs as well as do the mas
ter-minding for them, but if
his bad heel bOthers him, the
rajah will have to turn his
playing duties over to FOOts
Blair.
Fred Mcguire, who hit only .267
for the Boston Braves last year,
will have opposition from Charlie
Wilson, versatile recruit from
Rochester, and siX-footer named
Flaherty from Canton, Ohio.
Tony Cuccinello probably will
be the Cincinnati second base
man, but Sigafoos, drafted from
Los Angeles, will get thorough
trial. Sigafoos, who has been in
the big leagues on several pre-
vious occasions, batted .307, stole
Is bases and collected a flock
of extra base hits on the Coast
last year.
Mallon, a highly touted rookie
from Fort Worth, will give the
veteran Barney Friberg, a battle
for the keystone position on the
Phillies.
American Unsettled
Young second basemen will
have harder job breaking into
the American League line-ups, but
there undoubtedly will be con-
siderable shuffling before the
second base position on several
clubs, notably the White Sox,
Red Sox and Yankees, is as
signed definitely to one man.

Didn't Miss Much

New Workers by this time must
be truly ashamed of their fight
governing body. What is to be
gained by keeping diSbarred
fighters away from ringsides as
spectators? What damage could
they do, once inside?
They didn't want to go in to
fight. They didn't want to do
anything except take a look.
And from the accounts of the
fights they wouldn't have seen
much had they gained admit
tance-nothing much, except
the garbling of a count and a
consequently garbled decision.
A leper loose in New York
could get in if he had a ticket.
A gunman, or any number of
'em, could gain entrance with
the price of a pasteboard, but
three or four guys with whom
the boxing board happens to
have a quarrel at the moment
are tossed out on their ears.
Is that nice?
Is it logical?
Is it SportSmanlike?
Isn't it childish?

Today's
Sportorial
BY KIRK MILLER

The Year of Our Lord Nine
teen Hundred and Thirty-One
is still a pretty young span,
but probably the most childish
piece of alleged sports control
for the entire year will be the
ruling by which the New York
State Boxing Commission bars
fighters, fight managers, sec
onds and trainers in bad
graces with it from witnessing
boxing in that State.
My friends, isn't that leaning
a little backwards?
Isn't it strongly remindful
of some act of the Amateur
Athletic Union which seems to
think that professionalism is a
sort of contagious disease and
that youngsters who have ever
had contact with amateurs
are branded forever insofar as
amateur competition is con-
cerned?
What possible harm could
come from Carnera, Pauline
and their retinue to the
Heeney-Baer fiasco in New
York last Friday night? They
had bought tickets and pre-
sented them at the gate; like
rank outsiders, and were told
to get away from the Garden
by the minions OF President
Bill Carey, for the moment
cowing under the edict Of the
lordly commission.
What kind of carvings on is
that, may we ask?

every type OF compeClGlon'
But how do the Baltimore girls
stack up? Those who haven't
been following the game very
closely will jump to the conclu-
sion that here the Washington
females hold even a wider margin
of superiority than exists among
the men.
You err, Hubert, my boy!
These Baltimore girls are plenty
good and have done their bit
toward keeping the Washington
girls down to earth. In the N. D. B.
C. tournament at Waterbury, the
Oriole lassieS came away with
two championships, the team and
singles, and otherwise outshone
our fair damsels.
OriOle Girls Shine
Lorraine GulH was forced to
break the ninegame record to
prevent the all-event title from
going to Baltimore, Margaret
Holiday having shot 1882, which
was many pins above the former
mark, to lead the all-event UP to
the final night.
LOttie JanOwitZ and Sue Mil
ler, both of Baltimore, took
fourth and sixth place in this
aII-impOrtant event, while no
Washington girl other than
Lorraine finished among the
first seven.
In the single three Baltimore
girls finished among the first 10.
the same number as Washington.
In the doubles three Baltimore
pairs placed in the first 10, while
Washington only had two, while
three Baltimore teams grabbed
money, with the Arcadia the only
Washington aggregation to place.
Kinda surprising, isn't it?

Joe Cronin, most valuable
player of the American League

sparkling shortstop, is still reap
ing the glory of the great season
he had with the local team.
San Francisco newspapers

Anacostia, D. c., is steamed up
today!
And rightly so, we are told.
Tomorrow night at Silver Spring
Armory, $50 o'clock, loyal rooterS
who several years ago cheered
the present Skinker Eagle five
to a District unlimited title, will
support yet another cause.
Oddly enough the tosSers draw
ing these plaudits, those youthful
Anacostia Eagles, not only Will
be opposing this same Sklnker
combination but also have sue
ceeded that team in the aftec-
tions of Anacostians.
Good PreIim
A rattling, good preliminary
now being arranged-will supple
ment this civil warfare.
The same following expected
to accompany the Eagles from
AnacOstia undoubtedly will
harbor many fond memories
when Washington Basketball
League play gets under way.
Not many years ago these
Skinker basketeers originating
under the name now belonging to
their successors, Anacostia Eagles,
graduated into unlimited ranks
mich in the same manner that
their carbon copies are thlS
season. -,
That spirited duelling will be
in order throughout the regula-
ton 40 minutes tomorrow nlght
is assured. Not only have the
little Eagles bolstered themselves
within the past several days, but
they also have smoothed thelr
attack and tightened an already
formidable defense.
Among those holding forth IN
Anacostia toggery will be a mem.
ber of the original Eagles and
one of those mainly instrumental
in first putting Anacostia on the
basketball map-Morris Clark. "A
brother, Abner, who is said to be
equally aggressive will team up
with Morris when the whistle
blows.

Nor does this colorful attrac-
ton draw all of the weeks red
fire.

however, and pleased their fol

Those gathered at Kensington

Local wrestling fans will get
their first glimpse at two Of the
games greatest stars when Ferenc
Holuban, the Hungarian, and
Ivan Vakturoff, the Russian, take
the mat tomorrow night at the
Washington Auditorium. This
pair headline a program that
calls for five bouts, featuring
some of the leading wrestlers.
Promoter Joe Turner, forced
to shift his show to tomorrcW
night because the Auditorium Will
be used for a scientific movie
Thursday night, calls his card
lone that would again pack Madi-
son Square Garden"
It will be recalled that HOlu-
ban, the Hungarian champion
with a 22-inch neck, appeared in
the top match with Champion
Jimmy LOndOs on December 20
in the Madison Square Gardens
in New York. This pair was re-
SpOnsible for the largest sports
thrOng to ever lille into the new
Garden.
Vakturoff is said to be almost
as powerful as Holuban, and Pro
moter Turner declares that local
fans will see some fierce wrestling
tomorrow night. He goes further
to say that the O'Shocker-Bartush
match of last Thursday night will
be nothing compared to what
Vakturoff and Holuban will do.
Other new faces will be seen on
tomorrow's card. Joe Komar, the
Bulgarian, tackles Abe Kaplan,
Jewish heavyweight. Karl Pojello,
veteran Lithuanian, opposes
George Hill, of Iowa. George
Hagen, the eX-Marine. meets Paul

BY HYPE IGOE

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Madi.
son Square Garden has stepped
aside to allow Frank j. Bruen
the full privilege of promoting
the Camera and Malony bout IN
Miami in February.
Bill Carey and the Garden
forces didn't step aside with a
smile. There was quite a wordy
war about the whole business be-
fore Bruen was finally told toI
take pot luck and run the shindlg
to suit himself. The Garden
wanted to swipe the match from
Bruen or horn in on it some
how.
It seemed that the Garden be-
lieved that it had the hagter on
Carnera. That separate entity,
the Madison Square Garden in
Illinois, having signed Carnera
for a September fight with the
winner of the championship bat
tie between Max Schmeling and
Billy Stribling, fancied that their
contract reached out and con-
trolled the Miami activities OF
Camera.
Offered Five "Grand"
So, Carey, realizing that Bruen,
late general manager Of the New
York Garden, had only verbal
agreement with Bill Duffy to put
Carnera in at Miami, thought 1t
would be a good idea to throw a
rope around the Carnera anG Ma
loney match himself and accord
ingly, he invited his late general
manager to front" for Madison
Square Garden in the Miami
bout.
Carey is dead set on putting
over paying a paying Miami
setto. Carey offered Bruen
$4,000 if he would turn over
Camera and MalOney to him.
No, sir! Bruen actually didn't
have Cameras or Duffy's sigma
ture nor did he have MalOney's
nor Dan CarrOIl'S for that mat
ter.
Carey believed that Duffy
would string with him instead OF
Bruen, but before he put the
question to Duffy, Carey asked
Bruen over the long-distance
telephone if he would pocket
$4,000 for himself, with no other
obligations, not even the manage
ment of the fight in Miami.
Carey told Bruen that the Gar
den would take over the show
and put it on in the arena built
by the Garden in Miami.
Bruen informed Carey that he
wouldn't consider the proposition.
Duffy Fools EN-
Carey sought out Duffy. Surely
handsome Will would string with
Carey and the rich corporation.
Carey doesn't begin to know
Duffy. Break his word? Not on
your life!
81 haven't signed anything
with Bruen. But 1 told him he
could have Carnera. Even if
we lose the shot with the win
ner of the Stribling and
Schmeling bout, I'll keep my

does with Carnera, but until he
tells me he wants to peddle
him to you, my word goes with
him." Duffy said.
Carey then telephOned Bruen
that he didn't want the bout
and told him that he could
have the Miami arena fof the
battle if he would agree to
pay off the $4,000 rent.
Bruen laughed that one off,
and with a George Bancroft roar,
too.
I'm running the fight for
little Francis, and Pm running
it either on my race track or
on the dog track. don't care
to use the Gardens arena"
Bruen said.
Whereupon Carey washed his
hands of the whole business. He
told Bruen to do as he liked, and
Bruen will. Frank intends to put
Big Bootsie and Maloney into the
ring on March and take all the
