SCHOOLS
IN RIFLE MEET

The rifle team of the United
States Military Academy, West
Point, will be here on Saturday,
April 25, for it's annual outdoor
rifle match with the George
Washington team. Two other
teams, Columbus U. and the Sew
enteenth Infantry of Fort Wash
ington, will also compete, the first
time that any other but West
Point and G. w. participated. The
match will be fired at Camp
Simms, at 1870 today.
The dual shoot between G.
w. and West Point was start
ed in 1927 when the local uni
versity shooters trimmed the
cadets. Since then, however,
the Army has always beaten
G. w., but, with the exception
Of one year, by narrow mar
gins.
George Washington u, is the
only civilian college team that
has ever defeated West Point.
The George Washington shoot
ers are the leading civilian col
lege aggregation in the country.
They finished second in the ma
tional intercollegiate matches, be-
ing beaten only by United States
Naval Academy. Navy won the
intercollegiate championship with
score Of 1882 and George
WaShington's score for second
place was 1870.

MARGIN
WINS FOR
CENTRAL
BY GINO SINH

Central defeated Tech "a in
the opening game of the inter
high baseball series, and thereby
establishing itself as the outfit
which must be beaten for the
championship. It was the first
time Tech nine had lost to Cen
tral in four years.
However, Tech is still a very
formidable factor, for Central
won the game mainly through Z
runs gathered in the two opening
frames by mobbing "Eggie" Bat
son when the Techites weren't on
their toes.
After those two fumbling can
tos, the Nal Edwards machine
settled down to business, and
Batson carried on valiently until
the eighth frame, when he per-
mitted Centralites to park on all
the bags.
Everett Russell replaced him
and Immediately wiped away the
annoying inhabitants by striking
out two batters with minimum
throws. He continued the good
work in the ninth frame.
The Manual Trainers got to
Emmett BuScheP in the eighth
inning for three runs, and
looked particularly dangerous
in doing it.
Steve Thompson, gangling Cen
tral left fielder, remembered as
mediocre hitter in the last
series, proved decidedly different
yesterday, when he pounded out
a triple an homer in success
sive turns at the plate to figure
prominently in giving his aggre-
CATION husky lead.
To satisfy himself and the 800
or so shrilling high school stu
dents present, that he really
could hit he banged out another
single later in the game.
Thompson'S homer was no
fluke. It sailed deep into center
field, arriving there long before
the center fielder. The same was
true of his first-inning triple, scor-
ing White and Heflin ahead of
him. 1t was a powerful clout,
worthy of any mans effort,
English was the batting ace
OF the Mckinley. crew, driving
out a homer in the sixth frame
Tor the first tally registered by
his gang, and coming back in the
eighth to do his bit in the three
run rally.
GOnzaga Fooled
GonzaCa went into the seventh
and final inning of its game with
Episcopal, one run ahead. only to
see the AlexandianS capture the
contest by 7-to-5 score through
rouSing circuit smash off
Charlie Hooff'S stick, which
scored two men ahead of him.
Errors cost the Eye-Streeters
the game, they committing four
costly ones to the winners two.
The Catholics Scraped up nine
singles, while the VirginianS
had eight Smashes, two of
extra dimensions.
Business and Alexandria High
tusSled to a 7-to-7 deadlock at
Alexandria, when Bill Duryee
weakened in the fifth frame and
four Virginians scurried across
the plate. Up to that time
Duryee had been found for only
three hits, though these were
used to good advantage.
Tech encounters Georgetown
Prep today, while Western hikes
to Baltimore to face Baltimore
City College yearlings. Both
Tech and G. U. Prep dropped
their last game played.
Eastern will not participate in
the dual meet at College Park
today, Coach Mike Kelly's re-
quest for entry being denied by
the officials. Catholic U. and

FEW WIN ON
CLAIMS Of
Low BLOW
BY JACK DEMPSEY


When the New York State Ath-
/ 1etic Commission adopted the no.
foul-blow rule, there was much
criticism and denunciation. 1t
was the belief of many that fight
ers would be wrecked and ruined
by low punches.
But those who were loudest in
the denunciation, now have moth
ing but praise for the ruling and
severa, States, where "bunco"
fighters were getting themselves
conveniently fouled, have followed
New York's lead.
I expect that within year
every commission in the U. S. A.
will officially ignore foul punches
which is as it should be.
l did enough fighting to
know that not one punch in 20
that are supposed to be definite
fouls really hurt. In my
younger years / had to take
plenty and 1 wasn't wearing the
bullet.prOOf protectors that the
boys are equipped with now.
When so many important
battles were ending with one of
the Enthusiastically the fellow
who seems like a sure loser-on
the floor rolling in pain" and
moaning foul" 1 gave it as my
opinion that most of it was trick
stuff. I held to the opinion that
practically all members of that
group could have climbed up and
gone on if it had been necessary
. for them to do so to win the
fight.
Many Faxed Fouls
The New York commission
came to the same conclusion. It
decided that the boys weren't
hurt half as much as they pre-
tended. 1t sensed bit of
STRATEGY" in that stunt of TAX
ing a low one and Hopping
to the floor. So it quickly ruled
that all blows henceforth would
be regarded as fair.
In 1929 a check-up throughout
the U. S. A. showed that of 3,204
fights, 106 ended in fouls. The
worst offenders were the heavies.
Out of 355 battles between big
men, 33 wound up with one or
the other party on the floor hold
ing his groin and making pitiful
sounds. The feathers were the
cleanest fighters, only 10 out of
526 of their duels ending in fouls.
The worst offenders in New
York during that part of 1880
before the commission chose to
ignore fouls were heavyweightS.
It became a habit with some
of the lads to take a low one
J and flop. Since the low punch
has been classified as fair a re-
markable change has come. The
big boys who can't avoid taking
q low shot once in while just
take 'em these days, grunt and
fight on.
That "no-foul-blow" prescription
dealt out by the New York COM
mission certainly has cured the
sport Of an evil which, for a
time, threatened its ruin.

BRITISH PROS
DENOUNCE.
NEW BALL
By NAN O'REILLY

That Ryder Cup team selection
in Great Britain is becoming such
a ridiculous proposition that the
final lineup may be chosen by
putting the names of 20 golfers
into a hat.
At least, that method would
have the element of luck, for to-
day, with only one more test on
the schedule, the whole thing is
in hopeless mess.
The American ball, which the
BritonS unwisely contracted to
play in the international match
in Ohio this June, is certainly
playing havoc with the golfers
abroad. What George Duncan,
Archie Compston, Charles Whit
combe, ct al, have to say on the
new ball must have made Bill
Fownes' ears burn, for the out
standing pros in Great Britain
don't like it. and they don't care
who knows it.
The Washington times., 1931-04-18

Duncan's score on that occa-
sion was not far short of 80,
figure which Whitcombe, the
British team captain, actually
took. When it is remembered
that Walter Hagen scored that
same course in Ga difference
of % shots-it will be appreci-
ated what a vast and vital diff
ference the larger ball makes,
even to the expert, when it has
to be maneuvered in a strong
wind.
Must Control Temper
Fred Robson, one Of four who
are certain of a place on the Brit
ish team, went so far as to de-
clare that the tests were farce
because they proved nothing.
Compston took an "a for his
Lytham score, but his bulldog
characteristics were predominant
when he said:

ish in the attempt. The thing
is to humOr it; to lose ones
temper is fatal. think 1 have
found the secret"
The secret, apparently, is to hit
the ball down, which sounds
easier than it works out in prac-
tice. Take for instance, the ex-
perience of Charlie Whitcombe
a. the seventh hole, 543 yards, in
the teeth of a biting easterly
wind.
Usually this hole can be
reached in two; in the Ryder
Cup test, Mitchell took three
driver shots and was not home
and Whitcombe had a drive, two
powerful brassieS, a chip of 80
yards, and then holed a putt for
a 5. No. 9, 161, can normally be
reached with a No. 4 iron; with
the big ball, it became a full
brassie.
Ball Battles Duncan
Duncan can usually control the
ball in the most windy wind
but the new ball had him buf-
faloed. He was beaten by Her
bert jolly, winner of the Roe
hampton tournament last week.
The Lytham event was the first
of the tests to be played over the
36-hole route, and when the
golfers tee up at Fulwell on May
2 for the deciding matches-de-
Gliding insofar as the team selec-
tions are concerned-they will
also play 36-holes.
Charles WhitcOmbe, as cap
tain; Abe Mitchell, Archie
Compton and Fred Robson are
the only "Sure" selections thus
far.
Next in the line of possibilities
are Herbert jolly, w. H. Davies,
A. j. Lacey and Ernest Whit
combe, with Duncan, A. H. Padg-
ham as alternates and Bert Hod-
son, r. A. Whitcombe, S. A.
Easterbrook and H. Large still
under consideration, making IA
out Of the original "a candidates.
If the Britains succeed in win
ming more than one match in the
international battle at Scioto,
they will be the most surprised
humans on earth.

UT WAGES
 F N0 INCREASE IN RATES

WASHINGTON, Oct, 2, R- The railroads of the country, thru their legal staff, served notice on the Inter State Commerce Com mission, that wages of their em- ployees will be reduced unless their request for a Is percent in crease in freight rates is granted.
 In view of the stength of the railroad unions, the order is ex- pected to precipitate a serious controversy.
 The Commission has refused to consider the likelihood of wage reductions as a fact or in the fight by the railroads, for higher freight rates, So far.
 One suggestion offered final hearing on petition was that the roads might reduce passenger rates now declared to be exces- sive, and thus enhance their reve- nues by inducing more people to travel by rail.
