EAGLES OPPOSE
PASSON FIVE
AGAIN
BY SID KATZNELL

1--WE must stop that kid,
Inky' Lautman," said Bernie
Peacock, fighting manager of
the Skinker Eagles, today in
viewing Sundays game with
the PaSSOn Pros.
The Passon Professionals will
return to our fair city Sunday
for a second engagement with the
Eagles. Last week the Quaker
boys showed the local champions
a few tricks in the art of basket
ball and the home-towners are
seeking revenge.
Lautman, who recently passed
his sixteenth milestone, accounted
a 15-point total to aid his team
no little in the defeat of the
Eagles. Although young in years,
Lautman has excellent basketball
knowledge. The lad has un-
usual heft and height for boy
his age. He stands 6 feet 2 inches
in stocking feet.
Every effort to get away to
better start will be made by the
Eagles at the 3 o'clock deadline
Sunday at the spacious Boiling
Field gym. Their inability to get
going early last week, more than
anything else, cost them the
verdict.
Benefit Game on Tap
Unemployment benefits have
been played by football teams
throughout the nation and proved
highly successful. Now, the first
basketball benefit will be played
tomorrow night at the gymnasium
of the Westinghouse High
School. The contestants will be
the powerful Ballston basketers
and the. Just as powerful Fort
Myer five,
The entire proceeds of the
game will be handed over to the
Arlington county's unemployment
committee. This is a fine act on
the part of both teams and more
teams should think of the same
idea. The proceeds may not be
so much, but every little bit helps.
An attractive double-header fea-
lures the Government League
playing tonight at Boiling Field.
In the main event the Boiling
Field team opposes the strong
Union Printers, and in the pre-
liminary Commerce engages In

JACOBS SHOWS
BOXING SKILL

"Stumpy" Jacobs, flashy Hope
well, Va. lightweight, today ranks
high in the opinions of Washing
ton and Alexandria boxing fans.
Jacobs outpointed the crafty
Bobby Burns, of Baltimore, in a
spirited eight-round encounter be.

arena in Alexandria last night.
Burns, who punches straight
with both fists, ran into a tartar

both hands with finesse Jacobs
went after his man at the open.
ing gong, and kept up wither-
ing attack for two rounds.
Then Burns swung both hands
for three rounds, and landed
stinging blows, but Jacobs came
through the fire like a real
fighter. A heavy body attack
placed Jacobs in the lead, espe-
cially in the seventh when the
Virginian found Burns an easy
target. ,
Much to the surprise of the
spectators, Billy Strickler, durable
local fighter, put up a creditable
fight against the sharp-punching
Eric Lawson, Norfolk light heavy
weight. Lawson, holding the
advantage in weight, won after
eight lively rounds. Strickler
staggered Lawson in the sixth
with blow to the chin, but the
Norfolk boy was not hurt.
On the strength of his
aggressiveness, Nick Antonelli,
local junior lightweight was
awarded the eight-round decision
over Kid Cosden, Of Cordova, Md.
Tommy Bashara, Norfolk light
weight, defeated Charley Conner,
of Baltimore, in another eight
rounder while Bingo Brodie drew
with Young Perry, Holyoke

TRAINS BAER

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-In the
old days a woman wouldn't have
dreamed of identifying herself
with fights, fighters or the fight
ing pit.
Today, times have changed to
the extent that members Of the
fair sex are supervising the train
ing activities of both principals
in this weeks headline boxing at
traction here.
Max Baer, the once irrepres-
sible "play boy" of the Coast
rings, is up at Orangeburg train
ing for his bout with King Levin
sky in Madison Square Garden
Friday night.
No more stealing out of camp
at night to man a gorgeous 10
cylinder motor car. No hitting
the high spots and the night
clubs. It's drill, drill, drill, and
for a good reason.
A woman is in charge-the
missus! She who was Dorothy
Dunbar, of the movies, is Baer's
better half, and better is the
world! She is boss.
She supervises his training, goes
on the. road with him in the
mornings for company's sake, and
an always present desire to re-
main sylphlike herself. She per
sonally selects his training food
and attends to it's proper prepa-
ration.
The other camp. King Levin
sky doesn't boss his own band
wagon. It is his sister, Lena
Levy. who cracks the whip.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Sonja

from Norway, is the most clamor.

search of Olympic laurels.
At the age of 10, the pretty
little miss from the land of the

pic title in 1928. She captured
her first championship at the
age of 10.
There is nothing of the ath-
lete about the Norwegian beauty.
Smartly clad and wrapped in a
grey graceful coat, the little lady
from the snow country. presents

'I'm tired of skating. It's

hours a day and go to bed by

Miss Henie is confident of re-
tanning her title at Lake Placid.
One of her competitors, who ar
rived with her yesterday, was
Nine. De Lione, Belgian beauty
and champion figure-skater of her
country.
Seventeen other Olympic con-
testantS also arrived-from Aus

Altrock Registers

Nick Altrock, briefly, registers
positively with what we are
pleased to call his public. Unaf-
fected, genuine, effervescent and
spontaneous, Nick is right down
the alley of the run-of -the-mine
mind. We've seen him picked
out" of the human melting pot
by people who recognized him
in the most unusual places as
well as at the baseball stadia
Of the land.
There's one man who, it
seems to us. couldn't disguise
himself no matter how he
tried. Such a thing as travel
ing incognito would be impos-
Sible for him. Nick Altrock is
known everywhere at every
cigar stand, every night club,
every restaurant, every public
place he goes. be it a sociable
fight club, like Alexandria's
last night. or your grandest
banquet the likes of many to
which he is a standing guest.
But we haven't told the story
yet. With it all he is popular.
There's a difference between
merely being identified every
where one goes, and being
liked, yea, loved, and Altrock
is both. To make the point a
little stronger, can the same
thing be said, say, of Ty Cobb
or John McGraw, both of
whom have had tens of thou
sands of friends and neither of
whom have kept 'em all.
The Washington times., 1932-01-27
Ready to Frolic!

A heart of child and
the playful disposition of a
Newfoundland pup. Altrock has
stuck in the affections of a
nation which is strong on idola-
try for the reason that since he
started playing baseball for the
Nicholsonville (KyD semi-pros
81 years ago, he has ever been
ready to romp and frolic with
his public, exchange witticismS
and wisecrackS with all colors,
creedS and walks of life.
At ball yards, on Pullmans, in
taxicabs, passing through rail-
road terminals, in hotel lobbies,
in fact wherever a body can set
a foot or poke a nose, there
is always a cry from newsboys,
butchers, shoemakers, men of
affairs, and creatures of the
high, low and middle walks of
life:
"Hi, Nick"
And Nick never passes up a
greeting, his responses usually
taking the form of a whim-
Sical comeback which pleases
his greeters and adds to his
already immense popularity.

today that the New York Giants

All are holdouts. BisSonette, given

IS SBEL|EF
BY GARRETT WATERS

Taking a quick. peep at the
Washington ball clubs pitching
staff. as it is numbered and
named at the present time, one
does not have a feeling of com.
fort and security over it. This,
because the staff is not as strong
as it might be.
Still, your Uncle Clark Grit.
fifth and Manager Walter John
son are not losing great deal of
sleep over the situation even
though they should.
They believe team can get
along with staff of tried and
true veterans and a couple of
rockies even though said collection
of hurlerS might total only a
small number.
What About June?
They may be right, but the
fact remains, they'll wall and
wall aplenty around about June
when the weather gets terribly
warm and the pitchers begin witt
ing under the strain. That is. if
the hurlers wilt.
Going on the supposition that
they will, for it seems to be a
disease with Griff pitchers, the
situation could be we'll taken
care of by the addition of one or
two hurlers to help out. But
prospects at the present time
seem remote because of Griff'S and
Johnson's satisfaction in the staff
as it stands today.
Fred Marberry. Alvin Crowder,
Lloyd Brown, Carl Fischer and
Bobby Burke comprise the list of
veterans, or hold-overs from last
years team. Monte Weaver and
Frank Ragland are the best of
the rookie crop. The others, just
for mention, include Thomas,
Delaney, Boyle and Trederichs.
Going down the list of veter-
ans, only Marberry, Grow and
Brown are down right first string
possibilities. That is, they are the
only hurlerS sure to take regular
turns.
Two Vacancies
This leaves two vacancies open
as in the Griffmen's case, five
hurlers operate the system used
which calls for starters every
fifth day.
Off-hand Fischer and Burke
are the logical men for these
important vacancies. But both
are question marks because of
their in and out performances
during 1881.
Between the two Fischer is
the better pitcher today despite
the fact Burke has been in the
big leagues five years. In fact,
it is Fischer, from whom both
Griff and Johnson expect a great
deal this year, and Fischer it
may be for one Of the two i'm.
portant vacancies providing the
youthful left.hander shows any
stamina and ability at all.
This leaves Weaver and Rag
land to "filI out" the staff.
Weaver no doubt will be desig-
mated No. in the pitching sys-
tenn because Of his splendid rec
ord in 1881 in the International
League as a Baltimore Oriole
hurler.
Could Use Additions
Actually, this leaves Burke and
Ragland to carry the roles of re-
lief men. Okay if they are able
to fill the bill. Okay, also if the
five listed as starters. come
through.
But-and it looms every day
as a bigger and bulkier unCer-
tainty-wouldn't the situation look
so much better if another capable
and seasoned pitcher was added
to the staff? Wouldn't the pen
nant that both Griff and john
son want so much this year be-
come more of likelihood if the
pitching staff was stronger
Wouldn't that comforting feel
ing prevail if the situation looked
more aVorable-Without question
