CAPABLE TW|RLERS
ON ALL SQUADS
Tech Will Miss Russell at
Outset-BuSinesS, Central
in Opener Friday.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

ONE first-rate pitching should
mark the public high school
~ base ball championship series
that opens Friday afternoon,
when Business meets Central In
the Eastern Stadium at $3.50
o'clock.
Except Tech, which Will be without
Everett Russell, its ace hurler, at least
for its first two games, because Of his
ineligibility, all the teams appear well
fortified In the box. Lester Chewing,
who pitched considerably last year. will,
1t appears, bear the brunt OF mound
duty for the Gray In the absence of
Russell.
Eastern, which will be driving for its
fifth straight title, will be relying upon
Dick Lanahan, who has proved his mettle
In many a championship game; Larry
Phillips, Francis Cleary and Hale. Gen.
tral has Emmett Buscher, Debetten-
court and Moran. Western has Wild
Bill Payne, John Raedy, Francis Grimm
and Tom Poore, and Business has Louis
Silverman and Jimmy Garner.
WITH it decided that Tech will not
w play any ball games on its field,
work of completing the Mckinley
schedule Is rapidly going forward.
Tech viii enter the series heavily
handicapped. In the first place it, had
little left in the way of seasoned ma
terial Then the change in coaches
which saw E. G. Foxley succeed Nal
Of its field further hurt the Mckinley
cause.
Not only has the Gray lost Russell,
but It Is understood that Freddy Nau,
outfelder, one Of the few other letter
winners that were being counted upon,
Is ineligible.
Coach Foxley certainly is starting
under tough conditions. He, however. is
by no means willing to count his
proteges out and says that they are
printing for the toughest fight Of which
they are capable.
He hasn't been able yet to get much
Of line on the material, however as
the squad has done little but toss the
ball about.
Among members of the squad han
ding themselves well, besides Chewing,
are Crenshaw, regular catcher last sea-
sm Willis, outfielder. another 1881
mainstay; Weitzman, Davis, Gormley
and Carl Nau, reserve infelder
year ago.
The Gray is planning just one game
Business, April Is. That will be against
Episcopal Saturday afternoon at Alex
andria at o'clock.
Here's the way the remainder Of the
Tech schedule now stands:
April l6-Washington-L High at

rALPABLY to make a scrap to the

DALPABLY to make scrap to the
L fans liking, Gallagher attempted
to depart from his usual style and
fight at long range. Grimly he went
after the youngster, but Reds was tco
fast ever to permit Marty to hit solidly
frcm distance. Barry's speed was the
decisive factor in the result.
In giving his verdict, in which q
great majority of the spectators con-
CURED, Referee Charley Short doubt
lessly took into consideration a number
of illegal bows struck by Gallagher
In the clinches he used his elbows and
applied a trick of yanking his arm
upward in such manner as to nick
Barry on the chin and face with the
wrist guard of his glove.
If Marty was unsportsmanlike in this
respect he made amends. at least in
part, by passing up opportunities to
crack Barry when the latter's back was
turned or when he was of balance at the
ropes.
The preliminaries for the most part
were unexciting. Sammy Braunstein
cutpointed Whitley Saylor in the best Of
these, at six rounds. Sam F1naZzo
messed up Henry Irving; Roddy Davis,
showing great improvement over pre-
viouS bouts, upset George Esrick; Young
Groves outpointed Humpty De Cola and
Jack Quigley defeated Bob Goldsby.

V IOUNG REDS BARRY Of the
" Mohawk Athletic Club today
was the proud owner of his
first professional boxing crown.
His domain is limited to the District
of Columbia, insignificant territory as
ring realms go, but Reds has many
years perhaps in which to add to 1t.
He's only IT.
His title as Washingtons very own
champion taken away by Barry in an
eight-round bout at Portner's Arena III
Alexandria last night, Marty Gallagher
OF Foggy Bottom gained something in
defeat. At least partly was he restored
to the favor of folk who of late have
made pointed criticism of Marty's fight
ing spirit, or lack of 1.-THE same folk
VINO few years back had visions OF
the Foggy Bottom youth beating up
the trail toward a world title.
EOR Marty made it a fight last night.
l. Barry, springing from his corner
with the flashing quickneSs Of
wild animal, beat him to the first punch,
but from there through most of the
scrap the powerful lad from the West
End was the aggressor. In the last two
rounds Barry came forward with Q
furious attack that offset a marked
superiority of Gallagher in the early
going Marty was more bewildered than
hurt by the youngsters punches, which
had no hip in them.
There were moments when Barry beat
Gallagher at his own game Strictly
an in-fighter, Marty scored most Of his
points at short range, but on occasions
Barry lifted his opponents head with
jolting shots in close. Gallagher's short
blows carried power and in actual pun
ishment inflicted, discounting general
point-acoring, he had distinct margin
of victory.

THAT Western-St. Adams game was

score the winning run, but could not
muster the punch.

and famed eight. Ray Patton, who

WOMEN WEATHER
CONGRESS BATTLES
Feminine Members Receive
No Quarter in Stormy
Sessions.

In Congress trying to make port
over choppy political ocean. each OF
the seven woman MEMBERS is having
to ply an energetic political oar Of her
own.
Whatever special favors may have
been accorded women as beginners seem
to have vanished during this stiff sea-
son. The times that try mems souls
are proving also a test of the woman in
politics.
She apparently receives no quarter
from her colleagues in Congress, nor
from her opponents. She has met "old
man f1libuster" face to face, and she
has seen herself attacked in paid ad-
vertisements in the home newspapers.
Like the men, she has seen her fan"
letters turn pan" letters If equality
was her aim, she seems to have it.
Interest Aroused.
Observers look en- with interest, Won
dering how many women will survive
the most stubborn struggle that has
beset the feminine legislator. Certain
it is they already have had to prove
their mettle
Representative Mary T. Norton, New
Jersey Democrat. who this session was
the first woman ever to assume the
Craftsmanship of an important COM
mittee dramatically denounced Repre-
sentative Blanton, Texas Democrat,
from the well of the House when his
long continued fllibuSter blocked her
legislative program.
Down in Florida's longest district Rep
resentative Ruth Bryan Owen made II
speeches in one day in her hard-fought
primary battle with Mark Wilcox, West
Palm Beach attorney. With a strong
array Of masculine opponents against
her in the Arkansas primaries, Senator
Hattie Caraway is receiving no quarter
Democratic Tammany Is said to be gun
ming for Republican Ruth Baker Pratt,
Representative from New York City.
Plans to Retire.
Having completed her husbands work
Representative Effiegene Wingo of Ark
ansas will retire of her own volition
Representative Edith Nourse Rodgers,
who has had to win her constituency
all over again because of redistricting,
has several knotty tangles to smooth
out. Even sagacious Representative
Florence p Kahn, who has had serene
sailing out in San Francisco, shakes
her head and says: You can't tell
this year,"
But 1 will say" Mrs. Kahn loyalty
adds, the women now in this House
have put women in Congress on the
map. They know their jobs and they
are workers one of them!'
