TOO MUCH OF 1T

III is rather surprising to pick up our
leading coast contemporary and find
therein the first of a series of articles by
Albert b. Fall, who is about to enter a
New Mexico prison to serve a sentence
for accepting a bribe while secretary of
the interior.
Fall is to describe the secrets of the
Harding administration and of course
will give his version of the Teapot Dome
scandal, not forgetting to have bucket
of whitewash and a brush close at hand.
If there is one man who should rush
away from the public prints instead of
into them, it is Fall. He may use the
whitewash all he wishes; it nevertheless
stands in the record that he has been
convicted of betraying his country and
that he has used every known loophole to
escape punishment for his sin.
A broken old man who should greet
death gladly as a welcome relief from
dishonor and disgrace, Fall instead
chooses to pose as a martyr. His ply
sical condition attracts and merits the
sympathy of many of us. Physical suf-
fering is never enjoyable. All regret
that man in whom the country placed
every confidence, saw fit to betray that
confidence for money. But much of the
sympathy inspired by Falls physical
and political collapse is certain to be
sunk in disgust at his brazen effrontery
in seeking to vindicate himself through
the news columns-again for money.
Our coast contemporary should be
able to find room for better things in its
columns. AS for the Harding secrets
we feel certain the public has heard
enough of them and no good is going to
be done by resurrecting them at this
time.

Sam will have better luck with him than

Catholic University and North

night football game at Raleigh,

announced by Arthur j. C'DutchD

North Carolina State is coached
by John C"Clipper") Smith, former

FAILS

BUFFALO,, e N. Y, April g.
Hopes for Buffalo's best five-man
teams to lard among first five
big Ten" standings in the A. B.
C. tournament were shattered to
day. The Texaco stars, last of
top flight units, scored only 1920
last night.
Ray Schultz, Buffalo's leading
match game bowler, rolling with
the Texacos, fell down with only
546. His teammate, Lefty Long,
fell below this. Socony Banners,
Buffalo, scored 2,845, the highest
score of last nights fiVe-man
events.
The standings remain undiS-
turbed, if the present leading
2,944 five-man score endures un-
til the tourney ends April 6 it
will be lowest A. B. C. score in
Is years. Tonight'S card five
man events will feature SIS teams
from New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and New
York.

MD. TRACKNEN
IN MEETS

Coach Geary Eppley, facing
the toughest job of any of the
Maryland coaches this spring, in
that he lost six of his seven
leading scores of 1880. goes down
to Lexington, Va, with his
charges tomorrow for two meets.
He will tackle V. M. I. that day
and will stay over until Monday
to take on Washington and Lee.
And on the following Satur-
day, the Old Liners will trek to
Charlottesville, Va, to engage
Virginia, one of the sturdiest
track combinations in these
parts.
Bob Havell, sprinter; Charles
FOutS, who runs, pole vaults
and broad jumps; Ralph Shure
and Phil Cooper, distance men,
and Jess KrajcOvic, all-arOund
field man, are the only men
who produced any points of
note last year, who are left.
Roland Brown, Claude Smith
and John Duncan, runners; Sam
McGlathery, hurdler, and Ray
Koelle, javelin tosser, from last
years squad; Paul Kiernan,
sprinter, and James Busick, hurd-
ler and field events man, from the
1880 freshman aggregation, are
athletes who are expected to pick
up points.
Some of the others are show
ing signs of developing and by the
time Hopkins is met in the final
meet on May Is, Eppley probably
will have a team of considerable
strength. Those who will repre-
sent Maryland in the Lexington
meets follow:
1OO-yard dash-Bob Havell, Paul Keir-
nan and Chester Ward.
22O-yard dash-Havell and Ward.
44O- yard dash-Kiernan, Charles Rel

Sharkey's opponent, according
to Johnston, will be chosen from
Primo Camera, Tommy Loughran,
Mickey Walker or Victorio Cam
polo. Final selection will not be
made until April Is.
This announcement is Shar-
keys opening gun in his battle
to gain nationwide recognition
over Max Schmeling, to whom
he lost on a foul here last
summer, as heavyweight cham
piOn.
The winner of the June fight
here undoubtedly will be recog.
nized as champion by the New
York State Athletic Commission,
which stripped Schmeling of his
crown because of his refusal to
meet Sharkey again.
Sailor Jack already holds a
decision over w. l.. Young)
Stribling, slated to fight Schme-
ling in June in a Middle Western
city. That many fight fans now
regard the Boston tar as the un-
crowned champion was made evi-
dent during Schmeling's recent
unsuccessful tour IF the South
and Southwest, when spectators
at the Germans exhibition bouts
openly jeered him for ducking
Sharkey.
Sharkey would like to take on
Primo Camera as his first op,
ponent, but the giant italian is
under suspension here. So is
Walker, but the New York com.
mission has stated it will rein,
state him if he will relinquish
the middleWeight championship
Walker, it is understood, would
readily comply with this request
in order to get a crack at
Sharkey.
The milk fund organization
has Walker lined up and may
cooperate with Johnston in
staging a scrap between Mickey
and Sharkey.
Both Loughran and Campolo
are prepared to sever relations
with Madison Square Garden to
land a bout with Sharkey. Cam
polo's contract with the aGrden
calls for a total guarantee of
100000 for his next two fight,
and the Garden likely will release
the Argentinian giant rather than
take a chance on lining up two
opponents who could not draw
enough at the gate to make the
ventures profitable.

POUNDS PINS

It develops that the perform
ance of young Noble Viers, jr.,
17-year-old Silver Spring duckpin
wizard, Wednesday night was
more remarkable than 1t ap-
peared.
After Viers had rolled 439 to
permit him and Burt Parsons to
roll an 808 three game doubles
set, one of the highest on record,
Noble added a 1876 and 1874 to
his total for a 7O8 five-game set.
an unusually powerful score at
any time.
AS if this wasn't enough for
a young man in one night. he
rolled five more games for a
618 total, or a 1926 grand total
for 10 games, an average bet
ter than 1872. That's really
spilling duckpinS! His last five
games were 125, 1O7, liz, 1873
and 1876.
John Blicks, with Eddie Espey
shooting 35l, swept Meyer Davis
in the District League, despite
Hokie Smiths nifty 366 set.
Jack Mooney rolled 1856 to lit
tie avail, as Fox Theater dropped
two games to the All-Italians in
Recreation League. Louie Rose
starred for the winners with 344.
Bill Jermane had $50 with Pat

contract which he held on
Jockey Harry Murphy to the
Nevada Stock Farm. The lad,
who is 18, is a resident of Louis
vile, Ky. He had his first
mount in tOday's opener. Agent
Al Davis says the lad has only
had four mounts since he took
up the sport, and has only once
failed to finish in the money.
There are dozen horses on
the schooling list with the adding
OF Caliente Lady, Essare, Oma-

Petabit today.
Jess Bennett, custodian Of the
Jockeys room, says that one OF
the likeliest looking apprentices
here is Bill Prior. This kid is
under contract to Frank Kearns.
Pat Remillard and Albert Rob
ertson opened today's sport tied
for the honor of being the lead
ing winning rider. They eacn
have five victories dangling from
their belts.
Milaria carried 1O8 pounds to-
day instead of 1O5 as sent out

Jimmy Sutro, of Chicago, had
a narrow escape from INJURY
this morning. His car caught fire
while driving along Crane High
way near Severn Run. Sutro Wig
gled from behind the wheel, and
had to stand helpless while his
expensive car was completely de-
Stroyed.
The game here can't be as bad
as some folks would have us be-
ueve, as more than $334,000 was
Wagered' on yesterdays seven

Race Secretary Joseph Nc
Lehman is offering an all-Star
card tomorrow. The James M.
Rowe Memorial, The Flash
Handicap and the Old DOmin-
ion Handicap all attracted fine
fields. AS all signs point to
good track, visitors tomorrow
should witness the best racing
of the present season.
There is some hitch over what
sort of races will be run on the
Charity program at Havre de
Grace. General Manager Eddie
Burke of the Hartford Agricul-
tural and Breeders Association
says he will not stand for any
thing cheap, and if it's necessary
for him to dig into his own pocket
for the money, he will do so in
order to get the top-notch thor
oughbredS to run.
