ing to arrange a Sharkey-Strib
ling bout.
"We're trying to get Jack

We want to put the Sharkey-

be the best attraction at this
time"
When asked if there was any
truth behind the report that Dick
Dunn, the Detroit Olympia pro

at the Boston Garden, Carey sale
that he has not prepared at thi'
time to make a statement as tt

Babe Ruth Raps New
Sacrifice Fly
Ruling

Babe Ruth is rather het up
over the elimination of the
sacrifice fly from baseball. He
doesn't mind doing away with
the cheap sacrifice fly, advanc-
ing runners from first to sec
ond and from second to third,
but gets real indignant about
doing away with the old sacri-
flee fly which scored a run
from third.
"ThSt isn't helping the
pitcher" he insists. why in
lure the man who drives in
runs? If they want to help
the pitcher, let him put a little
dirt or something on the ball.

alone; do they want to make it

Hold Everything
Bx JOE HOLMAN

For rapid fire organization
combined with efficiency we
nominate Bill Flester, recently
reelected to the presidency of the
Washington Basketball League.
A week ago tonight Flester
staged a reorganization of the
independent circuit. Tomorrow
night at Immaculate Conception
Hall, $50 o'clock, Census Enum-
orators and Naval Air Station
will inaugurate the schedule Of
an eight-club organization.
Within weeks time FleSUer
has banded together eight of
Washington's outstanding quln-
tets, formed a schedule and per-
Sonally supervised a set Of regula-
tions and bylaws.
Stern Test
Census Enumerators, an out
standing challenger for the In
dependent crown, likely will face
anything but a set-up in the
flying sailors" At least that's
a common belief among followers
of the service club.
Two years ago the military
unit compiled one of the finest
basketball records ever bOaSted
locally. With the Washington
Basketball Leagues pinnacle
their objective, they are today
pointing for a replica Of their
1929 record.
Already District fans are spec
ulating on Tuesday nights I'M

Skinker Eagles and Stewart
Brothers Photographers at Silver
Spring Armory
The Stewards, boasting a
splendidIy rounded combination
well versed in team play, are
picked to extend the Eagles to
the limit and have better than
an outside chance Of Springing
an upset.
Talented Skinker forwards, Joe
Sweeney and Jack Faber are
likely to have their hands full
breaking away from Stewart S
clever guards, Bill Banta and
Warren Swift.
The former Centralites are
ranked among Washington's lead
ing defensive men.
Respect Rivals
Skinker Eagles admit a whole
some respect for three Of their
league rivals, Stewart Brothers,
Howard A. French's and Census
Enumerators.
Also, they confess, there are
several dark horses who can
hardly be overlooked.
In other words the champions
will have to prove all of that to
successfully defend the title they
captured after that memorable

born foe.
Gonzaga led II to 9 at the
end of the half and matched the
Cubs, Is to Is at third quarter
time. The final drive was just
a little too much, that's all.
Nolan led both teams in the
scoring. The flashy Purple for
ward counted five times from the
floor and once from the 15-foot
mark for II points.
Central Scores
Broadbent and Rice were the
big noises in Central'S win over
st. Johns, 80 to IA. The blonde
headed Broadbent sank six baskets
and one foul for 13 points, while
Rice nicked the rims five times
for field goals and twice for foul
shots or II points.
The JOhnnies never had much
chance against the swift-mOving
passing attack of the Mt.

quarter were they able to keep
pace.

COAST BOXING
To Be AIRED


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8.
Boxing in California is going
to be administered with a big
stick" DR.. Harry d. Martin,
chairman of the State athletic
commission, declared today in
outlining plans formulated by
his cO-members.
Martin said immediate steps
would be taken to correct known
evils in the ring game, and the
adoption of stringent enforcement
measures, where necessary to cope
with any situation called to the
attention of the commission.
"The commission has learned
of instances where suspended
managers are still dealing with
matchmakers," Martin pointed
out. "In some cases these mana.
gers attend to practically every
detail, leaving only the signing
of papers to their dummies
"The underwriting of fight
programs whereby managers
take a percentage of gate and
in return pay off all fighters will
be stopped"
DR.. Martin commented on the
decision of the commission tC
stamp out bootleg" clubs mask
ing as amateur clubs" which have
defied requests to take out
licenses. He said immediate &C
ton would be taken to see that
two such establishments, at pres
ent operating near here, be sus
pended at once.

7 WIN BILL
LISTED At
TECHGYM
BY GARRETT WATERS

A regular FRANK MerrlWeA SeC
ting surrounds the high school
basketball series opening today at
the Tech High School gymnasium
at 3:45 o'clock featuring the East
ern and Tech teams in the first
game and Business and Western
in the second.
There will be the cheering
crowd, so characteristic in the
Burt Standish serials, the high
pressure atmosphere, teams fight
ing for the "honor Of their
school," and everything else think
able in the complete show to
unfold.
Seriously, though, these basket
ball series games are truly great
ones every year. There is more
interest and enthusiasm in them
than in any of the other sports
engaged by the teams in their
various seasons, namely, football,
baseball and track, is the thought.
Games Well Played
It is all because they are so
terrificly played and the teams
so evenly matched. And it might
be said that not only the per-
formers but the spectators play
the games, it seems, so down
right exacting is the reaction.
The past two years has seen
the series bring some OF these
things out. They've been hum
dingerS in interest and enthus-
iasm and everybody has felt the
strain the excitement has always
left.
This year promises no ex-
ceptions. Once again follow
ers will travel to the games
twice a week prepared for after
moons of real entertainment
and once again they will get 1t.
Real entertainment is on the
books today to start the series
with bang. The schedule
listing Eastern against Tech and
Business against Western means
more than just a pair of games
opening the long campaign.
Real Battles Today
They mean real battles from
the opening tap-off. All four
teams involved are ready having
either practiced or played in games
to get into trim.
Eastern will be meeting the de-
Tending champion in its contest
with Tech.
In Eastern the Manual Train
ers will be striving to defeat
the team which has given them
the most trouble in the last
! two years in their business Of
winning two championships.
Business and western, the two
dark horses, or the two teams
which have beckoned for the last
two years but who have failed in
the stretch in the race for the
flag, should put on an interesting
fray in the nightcap.
Both look better this year than
at any time before and are hope
full of doing more than just play
ing excellent games and losing by
one or two points.
Western will put a real threat
on the floor, with Tony Latona
and Everett Buscher, forwards,
available. This pair have been
doing some big-time playing for
Coach Moore in practice games
up to this time.
Led by Capt. Bobby Lucas,
Business will put fast midget
combination into work, inClud-
ing such men as Sherman,
Esenstad, Duryee, NemOrOsky,
johnson, Booth, and others.
Getting back to Eastern and
Tech, Coach Guyon will start his
giant array of Kane, Leib,
Noonan, Shirley, and zola for
Eastern, while Coach Artie Boyd
is expected to send Capt. Everett
Russell, Reichardt, Johns, Reed,
and Wilson into the game for
Tech.
They're off today. Scholastic
basketers attention, for there's
nothing else Of interest in their
world when the annual series is
on program.
