tertainment features that will pro-
vide a fine program, and he has
several more in view.
Only 300 tickets will be sold.

They'll have their arms around
each other but not in a loving en-
brace. Garibaldi, whom Italians
here rank next to Mussolini as
their country's idol, intends to
bounce the Greek about the arena
with much gusto. Yet, Mr.. Lon

cheek when slapped on the left,

Unawed By Reputation
Garibaldi, namesake of one of
his country's immortals, respects
no mans reputation and isn't
awed by the fact that the Greek
hasn't ran second in a match
since June of 1890. The Italians
local followers know he is a man

SPORT
BY SID KATZNELL

A group of staunch followers of
sandlot activities were discussing
an interesting subject the other
days.
An elderly gentleman with a
big cigar in his mouth stated:
"I believe that our boys are
more interested in football than
baseball"
you're wrong" replied a
young man about rs summers.
"They favor baseball to football.
Did you notice how many teams
participated in the various
baseball leagues this season.
There were hundreds of them.
1 have a kid brother who plays
both baseball and football, and
he'd rathed play baseball than
football any day."
"Yeah?" spoke up a plump
middIe-age man. Football is
the game for SandlOtterS.' The
boys benefit by playing foot
ball. They learn to take the
bumps and knocks which you
face so often in lifc."

GRID PRACTICES
SCHEDULED

Football practice in the colored
high schools of the city has got
ten under way with the squads
from two of the institutions going
through the daily routine at the
James e. Walker Memorial Field.
About 70 candidates are out,
40 from Armstrong Technical
High and 80 from Cardozo Busi-
ness High. Coach E. P. West
moreland has the Tech boys in
charge with Richard Temple, for
mer Lincoln University star, as
sisting him. Tech will be ham
pered this season on account Of
so many regulars from last year
being on the ineligibility slate.
An array of freshmen and sopho-
more material is on hand and will
have to be used in the develop
ment of a championship aggre-
CATION.
Outstanding among the regu-
lars out are Turpin, captain
elect; Wayman Brown, a speedy
halfback; Burr williams, quar-
terback; Mitchell, Shaw, Cunning
ham and Robinson.
DR.. Evans is again handling
the pigskin activities at Cardozo.
Last year he had a fast team
but too light for Dunbar and
Tech. Among the candidates out
is Flash" Robinson, sensational
fullback from last year. This
lad performed all the feats for
Cardozo, some times registering
enough touchdowns to win game
single handed. Cardozo is ex-
pcted to have a much better
eleven this season, and If that is
true, Dunbar and Tech will find
Robinson and the crew plenty Of
trouble.

Bu Max ROSenbLOOnl

Make Rosenbloom was head
ing elsewhere today after breezing
through a ten-round bout with
Matte Brown at the Twin City
A. A. last night. Matte was far
outclassed and seldom landed a
blow on the agile Rosenbloom.
The latter opened up an old cut
over Browns eye in the first round
but Make refused to hit it there
afterwards.
Ray Bowen put away Freddy
Haverlak after 2 minutes and SIS
seconds of the first round. The
local welterweight dropped Haver-
lax with a right and, as Haverlak
arose at the count of nine, fin
ished him off with another right.

The reasons are the return Of
Sammy Vests troubles in solving
southpaws.
Manager Johnson, now that
Harris is once more on hand, ad-
mits that he might substitute
Dave in center field whenever
left-hander faces the Griffs.
Harris reported to the Grltts
Just before game-time yesterday.
He came from Chattanooga,
where he has been for the past
two weeks filling in for the in
jured Bill Andrus, Lookout out
fielder.
Hit $50 for LOOkOutS
Fresh from an active period OF
service which saw the veteran hit
around $50, Harris was all ready
for playing when accoSted on the
subject by Manager Johnson.
"YOu bet your sweet life I'm
ready to play If you want me to,
Walter" he grinned eagerly.
"I feel like hitting the cover off
the ball."
Harris was substituted for West
in center field yesterday as a
result.
81 may resort to the shift in
the near future, depending on
how West fares against leftieS,"
johnson said. 81 benched West
yesterday because he's usually
bothered by Whitehill, and
figured 1t would strengthen our
attack If more right-handed
hitterS were in our lineup
against him. West isn't so bad
against them and he still Is .
great fielder and a player the
team needs in the pinch"
Harris in making his debut
yesterday, collected only one hit
"a single in the Seventh-but
no matter how much harder he
might have socked the ball, the
Griffs would not have won with
Earl Whitehill, Tiger ace, going
so well. It was just the left
handlers day, that's all, and the
GriffS were forced to swallow
their second defeat in as many
days.
Ray of Sunshine
Always in defeat there looms
some bright bit of sunshine.
Yesterday it was the work of
young Luther BUD Thomas
Thomas was sent to the mound
in the sixth, and quite like his
relief effort Of Tuesday against
the White Sox at Chicago, he
performed in excellent fashion.
The kid looks like a conner. He
has a nice fast ball, sends up an
elusive curve every once in a
while and best of ALL seems to be
GOODNESS perSonified in that
pitchers box. Manager johnson
plans giving him every chance
he can as a relief man in the
future to acclimate him to big
league atmosphere.
