HONORS
BY SID KATZNELL

The boys in the vicinity OF
Twelfth and B Streets Northeast,
polished their old bats and
mended their old gloves a couple
weeks ago and organized a sen
ior baseball team that even sur.
prised themselves.
They called it Warwick A. c.
the name that they used during
their basketball campaign the
past season. Incidentally, they
had a right fair season at basket
ball.
Team Spirit
Getting back to baseball. The
Warwicks won three straight
games, losing only to Kings Gar
age diamonders Sunday in 13 in
nings, 8 to Z.
Enthusiasm and team spirit is
what those athletically inclined
laddies have in huge gobs, not
to mention ability they possess.
Every evening at $50 o'clock the
boys trot over to the Fairlawn
field to polish-up their raw spots
in batting and fielding.
The possession of two real
pitchers in Ray Milstead and Ed
Chopin is one of the chief rea-
sons for the teams good show
ing. An excellent hitter in Ar

JAPAN'S 7 { A NJ
LARGEST

Japan will send the largest
foreign team to compete in the
Olympic games.
"ThiS is because we see in
the games q common meeting
ground for all nations and a
chance for friendly interna-
tiOnal rivalry" Nakazawa, Jap
anese Olympic attache, says.
The japanese team will total
214, including officials. The
champion Japanese horses for
the equestrian events have al
ready arrived. Six riders will dis
embark Saturday. The main team
will follow in plenty of time to be-
come acclimated before the start
of the games, July 80.
Interest in the approaching
games is intense in Japan"
continues Nakazawa. "The EN-
perOr has given his official
support, and donated $4,000
from his personal funds. Oddly
enough, it has been the typi.
cally American sport of base
ball that has furnished much
of our Olympic financial sup
port. The baseball federation
donated 100000 to our COM
mittee.
Eve are proud that our team
is the largest any foreign ma
tiOn is sending here. We will
not come here expecting to take
such a large share Of the glory.
Athletics is stiIl in its infancy
in Japan, but Of course we
have some fine champions"

. COLLEGES
BY HARRY COSTELLO

BY HARRY COSTELLO
Once there was a selfish Irish
man. He died and went to
Heaven. After st. Peter had
opened the Golden Gate and per
mitted the Irishman to enter,
the latter turned to st. Peter
and said: well, now that I'm
here, you can lock the gate, and
YOU need not trouble yourself
to open it again."
Yale University (of New Haven,
Conn, lest you do not know is
heavily endowed. 1t has oper-
ated its athletic establishment on a
big business basis for many years.
In comparison to most of the
other universities of the country,
those of the South more par
ticularly, Yale is tremendously
wealthy. It is IN financial
Heaven. And, like the selfish
1rishman, it wants the gates of
Heaven locked forever. now that
Yale is on the inside looking out.
Eli Mighty Influence
Contrary to general opinion,
Yale is a mighty influence in the
field of intercollegiate sport. It
announces a five-game football
schedule starting in 1888. Other
universities wealthy enough to do
so will follow Yale'S lead as the
swarm follows the queen bee.
The big fellows will gather around
Yale. Then will come what is
termed, in the vernacular of the
street, the freeze-out." The
little fellows will be on the out
side looking in.
Yale, and the other big fellows,
can make money with five games
Of football per season. Wealthy
alumni will make up the amounts
Of money short of the annual
goals.
Not so with the little fellows.
They just cannot make money
with five games o. football per
season. They have not the
wealthy alumni to make up the
amounts short Of the annual
goals.
Deaf to Protests
Albie Booth, Edward Rotan
and John S. Wilbur, all of Yale,
raise their voices in sharp pro-
test against Yale'S announced
athletic policy. Other protests
will follow. However, it seems
quite safe to predict that the
academic ear of Yale will be deaf
to such protests.
For a time. intercollegiate ath-
1etics went democratic. The ma
ton responded in a most definite
way. The imperialiStS of inter
collegiate athletics we're put into
the back ground. Now, however,
the Strategists of the imperial
group have apparently won the
day. The loss of the greatest of
all democratic strategistS, Rockne,
seems to mean disaster for the
Little Fellows.
A consensus of opinion gath
ereo from 30 former college ath-
1ete5 and undergraduates here in
Washington is: Before many
years, only the wealthy colleges
and universities will have inter
collegiate sport"

Gains Beats Camera
Seeks Better Bouts

LONDON, May. 81. Larry
Gains, Toronto Negro, who holds
the British empire heavyweight
title and who last night out
pointed Primo Carnera, Italian
giant, in ten rounds, declared to-
day he hoped to get a bout soon
with either Jack Sarkey or Max
Schmeling.
Jeff Dickson, promoter Of
last nights ten-round affair at
the White City here, stood beside
Gains and declared this was not
unlikely.
The Washington times., 1932-05-31

That's what the Griffmen need
these days as they strive to get
somewhere in this trying pennant
race. But will such a state OF
affairs come about? Hardly
likely with all of the real home
run sluggers on the rosters of the
opposition, and chiefly the oppo-
sition of the AS and Yanks' sort.
The well-known round trippers
have ruined many ball game
for the Griffs of late. For in
stance, in the New York series
a week or so ago. Ruth, Gehrig,
I,azzeri, Dickey, Allen and others
inserted clouts which hurt. In
the two games against the AS
yesterday the same sort of hitting
spoiled what started out to be a
pair of Griff victories.
Many EOmers
AL Simmons, Jimmy Dykes, Ed
Coleman and Jimmy Foxx were
the homer" boys yesterday. In
the first game, which the AS won
by the one-sided score of 13 to 2,
the first three named socked cir
cult clouts almost at will, Sim
m ons and Dykes getting two each,
and Coleman one.
The "out of the park" special
by Foxx. hurt most in the second
geme, however. as it broke up a
perfectly good pitched effort by
General Alvin Crovder, and sub
Sequently brought about the Gen
erals downfall, which was really
a downfall in the following in
ming when the AS climbed upon
his offerings for a pair of timely
runs.
The AS went into the seventh
inning Of this second game trail
ing, 5 to 3, when Foxx came to
bat. Two were on, AL Simmons
and Roger Cramer, with two out.
Crowder got a count of one and
one on the big Marylander, and
then-bingo-Went homer into
the upper section of the left field
stands.
This clout was the turning
point of the old ball game. as
Crowder, as mentioned, was
combed for two more runs in
the eighth which happened to
be the happy margin for the AS.
Going into the ninth with an
8-to-5 lead, Heine Manush
clocked a beauty over the right
field wall as the Griffs' dying
threat to snatch the game out
of the fire. The final score was
8 to 6.
Grove Breezed Through
George Earnshaw pitched the
entire contest for the AS. But
for Foxx'S homer in the described
seventh and his mates, two runs
in the eighth, he might have lost.
But then those home runs will
turn ball games around.
Lefty Grove breezed through
during the first game which
ended 13 to 2 in favor of Connie
Mack'S team. Fred Marberry
started for Manager johnson,
who decided to keep Fred in
there" because the game was lost
anyway.
The Griffs got off to a swell
start in this encounter by scoring
twice off Grove before he could
get adjusted to the morning at
mosphere. But thereafter he be-
came the familiar invincible
Grove, the Griffs going out like
light before his speedy offer
ingS.
Two tremendous scoring bees
won for the AS. The fifth saw
them count four times with home
runs by Coleman and Dykes
featuring. Six more were gath
cred in the next frame with home
runs by Simmons and Dykes
standing out.

-Four Drivers
Better Speed
Record

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 81
Among those who are versed in
the history of automobile racing
it was predicted today that many
year will pass before another
event as breath-taking as the 1882
Memorial Day Sweepstakes is wit,
messed.
Before Fred Frame, of Los An
geleS, emerged victorious at the
end of the grimy and gruelling
struggle yesterday he and three
other drivers had relegated to
obscurity the standing race record
while the lead had changed
hands nine times during the ait
ernoon.
It was not until four-fifths Of
the 500-mile distance had been
covered that Frames Miller -Hartz
special was able to assert its su-
periority over the other 80 motor
greyhounds who started in the
race.
Wins Nearly $4,000
Streaking over the two and
one-half-mile brick track like a
whirling comet. Frame averaged
1O4.144 miles per hour to ami
hilate Peter De Paolo's record OF
1O1.13 established seven years ago.
He negotiated the distance in
4 hours, 48 minutes and 3.79
seconds.
BY virtue of his hair-raising
performance Frame fell heir to
the $4,000 winners prize and
amassed nearly $4,000 more IN
lap prizes and other bestowals.
Driving a Lion Head special
Howard Wilcox, OF Indianapolis
crossed the finish line second
with an average of 103.881. Clltt
Bergere, of Hollywood, in a Stu
debaker special, was third with
an average of 102.662. Fourth to
complete the grind and break
the old record was Bob Carey,
of Anderson. Ind, whose aver
age speed was 1O1 1868 in a Meyer
special.
Billy Arnold Crashes
Numerous wrecks and mishaps
enlivened the race Eighteen OF
the 40 entrants were out of the
running before the race was $50
miles old. Most serious of the
accidents was the crash into a
retaining wall of the automobile
driven by Billy Arnold. Arnold
received broken collar-bone
and Spider Matlock, his mech
anic, a broken pelvis. .
Arnold's collision with the wall
occurred at almost the same spot
where he met with accident in
last years race, an accident that
put him in the hospital for six
months. Yesterday he was far
in the lead, having maintained
an average of 111.645 for 148
miles, when his car flew from
the track and smashed into the
wall.
He was able, however, to carry
off $4,000 in lap prizes before
the accident eliminated him
