LEGION FIGHTER
THREATENS

A clever, fast-moving light
heavyweight bearing the name Of
Kirkwood Burke and fighting for
the American Legion may walk
away with the show tomorrow
night when the District A. A. u,
through the courtesy of Jack Tul-
loch and the Alexandria Day
Nursery, sponsors it's third an
nual championship boxing tourna-
ment at Portner'S arena.
The Alexandria fight site was
made available yesterday after
the commissioners of Prince
Georges county had ruled the
event out of Ritchie Coliseum.
Though opposed by a terrific
lef-hand puncher in the person
of Gus Mirman, Columbus Uni
versity ace, Burke promises to
pack plenty of thrills into the
175-pound attraction. A protege
of Joe Bateman, the youngster
possesses a real fighting heart, is
as game as they come and
punches hard with both mittens.

671 CAME

Duckpin scores continue to
reach dizzy heights.
Last night the Columbian
Printing team in the Typothetae
League got together and cuffed
the wooden mites for a sensa-
tional 671 set, an all-time record
for that loop by "beaucoup" pins.
The individual games we're Noack,
ITO; Nitowitz, 1875; Parker, 159;
High, 154, and Mayo, 1922. High

set and 153 game.
Mears oozed into the "400's"
with a 401 set in the North

This, the group believed will

After three years, Kuhel is giving
indications of realizing these
hopes.
Cards have much to do with
KuhelS quick thinking. However,
merely playing cards does not
satisfy Joe's thinking faculties.
He goes a step farther, being
something of a magician with
the little pasteboards. Kuhel finds
that card tricks make him not
only think but act quickly.
Flips EN- Fast
He flips the cards around like
throwing a baseball and makes
them disappear and appear with
the best of them. Helping to
while away the time last night at
the hotel, he royalty entertained
all who were near with his as
sortment of tricks which were
battling to say the least.
Joe had to think plenty and

some tall conquering, particularly
Perce Wolfe and Hugh Waldrop,
who hitched up as doubles.
crashed the naples for a 776 total,
to take the lead by II pins.
Wolfe had a 383 set and Waldrop
393.
The Hyattsville Arcades slipped
into second place in the team
competition with a 1,772 score,
and Bob Temple, the sensational
find of the season, stepped into
the pins for a LIP in the all
events to tie Easterday for third
place. Perce Wolfe had LILO for
his all-eventS.
AS if this wasn't enough, Oscar
Hiser. Hyattsville boss of works,
teamed with Nellie Beardsworth,
of Taunton, Mass, and chalked
up a 679 total to take the mixed

fast while he was doing these
tricks. A miss meant that all
the fun would be spoiled. Thus,
it is with his baseball playing.
To think, and think quickly, is
part of KuhepS makeup in a
baseball uniform. 1t stands out
all over him, and he is the pic
ture of aggreSSiveneSs and
thought because of it.
Joe Has Action
Therefore an idea is presented
why he is so quick and fast in
his every action on the ball field
whether it's throwing, running,
shifting his feet at first base, or
hitting. The kid is there when
it comes to action.
OF course Joe does not attrib-
ute his aggressiveneSS, his quick
actions and speed, on card play
ing. 1t would be foolish, so he
says. But, it might be said that
it has helped to train his mind
because to think comes in just
as well in cards as in baseball.

EVENT OPENS
SATURDAY,
NnIOhOHIJ
APRIL IS
By GINO SINH

AS a final gesture in a season of
many special duckpin events
which has crowned many dark
horse" with championship laurels,
The Washington Times will stage
Brothers Doubles Tournament,
which proved so popular two years
ago.
The tournament will be rolled
on two of the most popular drives
Of the metropolitan district and
the suburbs, Pop" Halley'S Rec
reation and j. Henry HiSer's
Bethesda plant.
The first block will be rolled on
Saturday, April 16, and to make it
most convenient to the entrants,
they will be permitted to roll at
either o'clock in the afternoon
or 8 o'clock at night, and may
shoot their first block at either of
the two establishments.
Entry $6
The entry fee per team is Sc,
well within the reach of the purse
Of anybody.
Believing that such an event
should be more of a genial gather.
ing than a "hard-boiled" money
proposition, the promoters have
set the entry at that low figure.
Between 20 and IS sets of
brothers, of which type of boWlers
Washington is literally supplied,
are expected to take a chance.
HiserS Won
Henry and Oscar Hiser won the
first event of this nature staged
by The Washington Times in
1880, with another Hyattsville
pair, Brud and Leo Kessler, Sec
ond, and Howard and Sam Camp
bell, third
Ross and Phil Heffelflinger fin
1shed fourth and that historic and
colorful combination, Lonnie and
Harry KrauSS, were fifth. Thirty.
eight teams participated in the
event, making it one of the big
gest special attractions of the
1880 season.

were moved over from Benning by
Trainer Freddie Hopkins.
Thirteen horses, the property
of j. o. Keene. reached Bowie
from Kentucky. They are
likely looking lot and their
every move is closely watched
by the handlers of the split sec
Ond timepieces.
Elmer Trueman, of Washing
ton, has 20 horses, the property of
Raj Parr, Howard Bruce and
other sportsmen in training at
Bowie.
A. Sands, who arrived yesterday
from New Orleans, states that he
will make engagements for Jockey
v. Roussel.' The lad can do 105
pounds, and has the apprentice
allowance.
Uncle Billy Garth, one of the
best-liked of this country's vet
eran trainers, can be seen daily
at Bowie astride his saddle pony.
The Virginia, although said to be
in his eighties, is still exceedingly
active, and everyone hereaboutS
is pulling for him to have ban
ner season.
There is a war on among horse
men quartered in this State and
the men acting as blacksmiths.
The horsemen charge the shoers
charge too much under present
conditions, and a showdown will
likely occur before the Prince
Georges county session opens on
Friday.

NEW WORKERS
ORGANIZED
BASEBALL
BY HARRY COSTELLO
'Ts it not true" writes a
questiOner, "that Alex J. Cart

'Is it not true," writes a
questiOner, "that Alex J. Cart
wright founded baSeball?"
Alex Cartwright did not found
baseball. However, he was the
first person to propose regu-
lar organization. In the Spring
of 1845, Cartwright associated
himself with w. r. Wheaton, D.
F. Curry, E. r. Dupignac, jr., and
w. H. Tucker, all New Workers,
in the interests of New York base
ball, or "Twenty-one," as the
game was often allied, due to
the fact that the team which
first scored twenty-one aces, or
counts, was declared the victor.
The five men constituted them
selves recruiting committee, and
in a few days of effort had
managed to interest the desired
number of associates.
Drew up Rules
Their organization when per-
fected became known as the
Knickerbocker Club. This organ
ization drew up for itself the
first code of rules for the play
ing of the game. 1t was from
this code that all subsequent
clubs accepted their own rules
I'D to the formation in 1857 of
the National Association of Base
Ball Players.
The Knickerbocker Club played
it's first organized or match game
on June 10, 1846. The opponents
we're a number of New York gen.
tlemen who styled themselves the
New York Club. They had no
permanent organization. The
New York Club scored % aces,
or runs, in four innings, while
the Knickerbockers were able to
count only a single ace. The
game was the first organized or
match game played at Elysian
Fields (Hoboken), said to be this
country's first real baseball dia-
mond.
On April "a, 1849, the Knicker-
bockers appeared for the first
time in their uniforms, the first
known to baseball. The array
consisted of blue woollen pants,
white flannel shirts, straw hats
and patent leather belts. With
only slight variations in the cap,
this uniform remained unchanged
up to the time of the dissolution
of the Knickerbocker Club in
1882.
Adam Gets Credit
D. L. Adams is generally ac-
corded the honor of being the
first person to suggest a ma
tional organization. On December
6. 1856, he urged that a conven-
ton be held for the purpose of
adopting uniform rules and regu-
lations governing all baseball
clubs of the country alike.
Notices Of the convention were
published in the newspapers. 1t
was the beginning of the move
ment which caused the National
Association of Baseball Players to
be formed in May of 1857. This
association for 13 years annually
revised the playing rules and de-
cided all disputes arising in base
ball.
The first organized baseball
clubs and the dates of their for
nation we're: Knickerbockers,
September, 1845; Gotham, 1852;
Eagles, April, 1852; Empire, Oc-
tober IL, 1854; Excelsior, Decem-
ber 8, 1854; Putnam, May, 1855;
Newark, May, 1855; Union, July
II, 1855; Continental, october,
1855, and Atlantic, 1855. All OF
these except Newark were clubs
of New York city.

MANY boxers, after their retire
INl ment from active ring service,
have turned to the only busl-
ness they ever knew, puglllSm, Ior
their living Some have become pro-
motors, others matchmaker5, sun
others managers Of fighters, and the
ajority have turned to refereelng
or Judging for their livelihood. In
Baltimore, Nd, there is former
fighter Of note, star featherWelght
in his prime, Danny Frush by name,
who is making a successful go OF 1t
in the promotion field. Danny Is
sponsoring a club in the Monu-
mental City that has been one OF
the few organizations in the South,
during the long business drought,
that have met with success.
Danny will be remembered as a
clever featherweight who came here
to make his mark from the White
chapel district of London, the same
section from where Jackie Kid Berg
and Ted Kid Lewis hail. He was
one of the many British lads Of that
period who made good in the small
Ter divisions. He fought close to
100 battles and won many by the
knockout route.
Frllsh was recognized as good
fighter. After falling a victim TO
Johnny Kilbane's skill and punch,
in which bout Johnny claimed he
was fouled, the English Hebrew left
for his native land and finally
wound up his career in Paris. Con-
secutive knockouts within a space
of three weeks at the hands Of Eu-
gene Criqui and Fred Brettonel, both
in eight rounds, caused Danny TO
hang up his gloves, and 1t was not
until recently that he decided to
re-enter the squared circle, this time
as a promoter.
