D|CKEY LATEST.
N.Y.HOLDOUT

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-B a b e
Ruth and Ben Chapman, promi,
nent holdouts of the New York
Yankees, gained moral support
today with receipt of word here
that Bill Dickey, slugging catcher
of the Yanks. was displeased with
his 1882 contract and had re-
turned it unsigned.
At the same time, however, it
was made known that five other
members of the club would sign.
They are Pipgras, Pennock and
Wells, pitchers, and Combs and
Byrd, outfielderS.
The Giants made progress with
receipt Of the signed contracts
of Johnny Vergez, regular third
baseman, and Bud Parmalee,
pitcher.

it in Marty'S face and body as
late as the tenth round when the
fight was Martyrs. Gallagher had
the best of the mitigating while
those short right jolts damaged
Weiner considerably. A welt over
his left eye grew to the size of a
hen egg, and his nose and mouth
was bloody, and his face red as
a carnation, but the Baltimorean
stuck it out to the finish.
There was considerable butting
in the Clinches, elbowing and
hitting on the break, with Weiner
guilty frequently of the last
charge. Weiner also stuck his left
in Marty'S face as both boys
came OUT for the tenth. The
usual procedure is to shake hands
and then trade blows.
1t was difficult for Marty to
get over his blows because of
Weiner always covering up and
crouching, especially in the
clincheS.
Complains About Butting
Frankie Rice, Weiner'S manager,
didn't yelp about the decision but
complained to Referee Miller
about Gallagher's butting tactics,
yet Rice forgot to mention any
of Weiner's misdeedS. 1t was a
great battle, one of the best ever
seen in this section.

outpointed Baker Boy Billy
Schwartz in the eight-round semi
final. Lawson far outclaSSed Billy,
but the latter showed his usual
gameness. Patsy Lewis, Baltimore
welter, scored a technical knock
out over Roddy Davis after the
third round. Jesse Belt, lat, War
renton, Va, defeated Babe True
heart, 154, and Marino Marini,
1876, Washington, outpointed Joe
Schwartz, 1872, Baltimore.

A. j. GRID CARD
NEAR COMPLETE

The American University foot
ball schedule for 1882 is nearly
complete. The Methodists will
play five or six games this fail and
possibly seven.
Athletic Director Walter H.
Young has definitely arranged
contests with Hampden-Sydney,
Randolph-Macon, Bridegwater and
Gallaudet, with the prospect that
Shepherd College and High Point
College will be rebooked.
The only newcomer is Gal
1audet, and this game, the feature
of the football season, will be
played November 5.
Catawba College, of Salisbury,
N. c., coached by Charley Moran,
of Centre College fame, has been
booked by George Washington U.
for game here October Is. There
now remains but one vacancy on
the G. w. schedule.

battling to the majority of their
opponents.
However, the Typesetters have
been drilling to cope with this
play and have high hopes for
victory. A big factor in the
Printers defense and offense is
the addition of Ben McCullough,
former Eastern High School star

MANDLEY owns
GREAT RECORD
AS BOWLER
Rv GINO SINH

When the CampbellS Washing
ton All-StarS and the Original
Washington Juniors tangle at
Blick'S bowling stadium Saturday
afternoon fans will have an op-
portunity to feast their eyes on 10
men who have contributed heavily
to making duckpin history, ma
tionally as well as locally, for the
last decade.
Perhaps the most illustrious and
history-making figure present will
be Brad Mandley, one of Camp
bells All-StarS.
The unaSsuming prosaic house
painter has several distinctions
to make him stand out. Brad is
the only bowler to have achieved
No. ranking in Washington
more than once.
In the five years that the
w. C. D. A. has named a big
Ten" Mandley was never worse
than seventh, and his name is
the only one which appears on all
the selections. His name has
also been on all three U. S. rank
ing lists.
Ranked at Top
Mandley was placed at No. l on
the first official w. c. D. A.
list issued in 1927. In 1929, not
only was. he ranked at the top
of the Washington bowlers, but
he also headed the first N. D. P.
B. C. misunderstanding list.
Mandley has cleaned more
than his share of duckpin
laurels. nor has he missed out
on collecting the coins. He won
the Howard Campbell Sweep
stakes in 1929, adding the coveted
District League high average
championship. with a then record
total, to his collection.
Won Genlot's
Last season he captured the
Genlot's Eastern Sweepstakes, set
ting a New England 15-game
mark in doing it. Besides he
outbowled nine hopefuls in Blick'S
100-game marathon and took in
The Washington Times Single
pin Tournament. His league roll
ing though was under his usual
standard.
This year he is back among
the pace-setterS in the major
leagues and is a real contender
for all honors.
Strangely enough Mandley has
never won a national title. Never
has he finished among the first
10 in the N. D. P. B. C. tourna-
ment singles, doubles or all-event.
He made his greatest bid for
a national title in the first U. S.
Sweepstakes when he finished Sec
ond to Jack Whalen by three
pins.

LEAD WITH
TR|UNPHS

All aboard for the big game
Friday. That's the cry at this
time from fans, players and
coaches closely affiliated with
the iriter-high basketball series
after yesterdays pulsating results
of games played at the Tech
gymnasium.
Yes, sir, all aboard for Fridays

and Tech will bat it out in what
will be the most important con-
test Of the series.
A triumph for Eastern will
put that team far in the lead
for the coveted title because of
a third straight series victory
yesterday.

Tech defeated Western, Al to 38,
in the second game on the after
Moons program. This contest
was also exciting and in doubt
until the final whistle.
The EaStern-Central fracas was
for blood from the start. Cen
tral, out to gain the lead, which
it would. have gained had it won,
played speedy basketball through
out; in fact, so speedy that over
anXiouSnesS caused the insertion
of several fouls in the last few
moments, which gave Eastern its
chance to make them good for
the deciding points.
Play Close Throughout
The closeness of play can be
pictured from the scores at the
end of each quarter. They vent
like this: Eastern ahead, lilo,
at the termination of the first 10
minutes; Central on top at the
intermiSsiOn, 16 to IL; Central
still in the van at third-quarter
time, 18 to II, and Eastern on
the long end by the final whistle.
25 to "a. Two foul tosSeS by
Jack BaylisS won the game for
Eastern. Burke and Keyser were
CentralS stars.
Tech Wins
A gallant comeback after trail
ing % to 13 at half time won for
Tech over Western. Coach Boyd,
figuring that Western would not
show much, started a second
string array for Tech, but found
that he had to call upon his
regulars to turn the tide Techs
way.
Bernie Reichardt was the
Gray's star in the final check-up.
He totaled IS points. Tony
Latona and Everett Buscher were
Westerns big scorers, Latona col
lecting Is points and BuSher, 9.

M|DSH|P MEN
HAVE EDGE
IN SERIES

Navy and Maryland will be
playing their eighth annual baS-
ketball game when they meet in
the athletic feature of the dedica-
ton program of Ritchie Coliseum
at College Park tonight at 8:15
o'clock.
In the past seven contests. all
of which have been hectic battles,
Navy won four and Maryland
three, so that the Old Liners
need a victory to get on a $3.50
basis with the Midshipmen. All
of the past seven games were
played at Annapolis.
All Close Contests
Just how close the contests
have been is told in the total
points scored by the teams in the
seven campaigns, Navy having
compiled 205 to Maryland's even
200.
-Four points have been the
greatest margin in the last three
games, the Old Liners winning in
overtime in the 1929 struggle.
A complete record of the seven
games follows:
1925-MaryIand, 16: Navy, 90.
1926-Maryland, 21; Navy. IL.
1927-MaryIand. 80; Navy, 32.
1928-Maryland, 25: Navy. SO.
1929-Maryland, 80; Navy, ~ extra
periOd).
19SO-Maryland. 4S: Navy, 80.
1931-Maryland. 50; Navy. 36.
The teams appear to be we'll
matched again this season,
although Navy has done the more
consistent work thus far. How
ever, Maryland showed we'll the
past weekend in beating Wash
ington and Lee and v. M. I. at
Lexington, displaying somewhere
near the form that won the Old
Liners the Southern Conference
championship last March.
Capacity House Outlook
The dedication program, IN
which Governor Ritchie and
United States Senator Tydings
will take part, is slated to begin
at 7:45 o'clock and the basket
ball game should start about a
half hour later. Indications are
that all of the 1852 seats in the
handsome building will be
occupied. Great interest is being
shown in the game.

OFFICE
SPEEDS. UP

Whether moving into their new
palatial home had anything to
do with it or not, Patent Office
employees are speeding up their
work. They are far less behind
than a year ago-and for a divi-
sion of the Patent Office to be a
quarter or half year behind Is
not at all unusual.
When the fiscal year 1882 ended
June 80, all of the IS examining
divisions of the office were less
than six months behind. A year
ago, most were more than six
months. Two years ago, SO divi'
sions were more than nine months
behind.
Since January /, when the en-
ployes moved into their new home,
the number of patents awaiting
action has been reduced from co.
274 to 76,723. Two years. ago,
10000 claims awaited action.
The board of appeals has also
speeded up in its new quarters.
Two years ago, the board had
3,40S cases awaiting action. Now,
only 2,120 await decision.

Mr.. Stewart, a pioneer in the

Board Checks Up on Qualifi-
cations, including Train
ing, Experience

departmental conditions indi-
eating a Survival of the fit

Federal employees, attention is
called to the fact that every
Government workers record
from the cradle to his present
desk has been compiled by the
Personnel Classification Board,
together with full data on ex-
perience, training, abilities and
personal qualities.
The board, the central office
Of personnel records Of Govern
ment service, has gone to great
pains recently to check UP on
qualifications Of every Federal
employe. Its data on education,
for instance, include all scholastic
training each employe has had
from Kindergarten days through
speciality courses. The information
on file concerning experience,
lists every job ever held by an
employe, of whatever nature.
The board has been particularly
interested in whatever educational
and special training for his job
each individual employe has had.
The board has sought to ascertain
what effect training has on the
progress of the employe, as well
as his daily efficiency. Outside
and general education is given
due weight, but the board Is
especially careful to list specific
training voluntarily sought by
the employees after being ap'
pointed.
Training directly by the Gov
ernment falls in three categories:
First, formal courses during office
hours, such as given by the Blu
reau Of Investigation, Department
Of Justice, and in the foreign ser
vice school Of the State Depart
ment. Second come quasi-univer'
sity courses, such as given by The
Department Of Agriculture and
Bureau of Standards. Third comes
training afforded by shifting Of
assignments under a definite plan
to given certain employees the
widest training in their own de-
partmentS. ..
