SH|KAT SHOWS
MAT MASTERY

Local wrestling fans are today
debating the respective qualities
of Dick Shikat and Jimmy Londos
and there are any number openly
proclaiming that the German can
flip the Greek any time they mix
in the ring.
They base their argument on
the strength of Shikat's easy vic
tory over Mount Leo Pinetzki be-
fore 4,500 fans in the Washing
ton Auditorium last night. Shi-
kat put Pinetzkis shoulders to
the mat after 2212 minutes, using
a back-drop that was fastened on
with the greatest of skill.
Shikat Under Wraps
Shikat, showing the mastery
that is his and easily Squirmlng
free of the powerful clutches OF
the Polish monster, was under
wraps all the way. He was never
extended by his heavier but less
experienced foe whose only threat
was a scowl that frightened the
spectators but failed to scare
Shikat.
The fans were stunned when
Shikat, playing the part of the
ruffian. abused the man-mountain
with kicks and punches. Shikat
used to be a gallant wrestler, too,
and prided himself in being like
those chivalrous knights we read
of in books.
GrObmier Beats ManiCh
George Manich yielded to Fred
Grobmier's hook scissors after 28
minutes in a stirring match.
Manich successfully avoided Grob-
mier's deadly legs until near the
finish. Even then. he held out
for fully five minutes before
Grobby rocked him to sleep. Both
were nearly exhausted a minute
before Grobmier applied his Scis-
sors, each laying on the mat.
Jim McMillen. making his first
appearance here after a long
absence, held Howard CantonWine
to Commute draw though the
latter was much the aggressor.
George Mcleod polished off Jack
Hurley in 1872 minutes with a
flying head scissors while Abe
Coleman disposed of Nick Nestor
with a flying tackle in II min
uteS.

Fischer sacrificed and Manush hit
a home run inside the park. The
three in the seventh came when
Reynolds was hit by a pitched ball,
Bluege was walked, and Spencer
and Myer singled. Reynolds drove
across the Griffs other marker for
the day when he singled with West
on second base in the third.
Reynolds and West led the
GriffS at bat with three hits each.
Manush'S homer was a real clout
while Myer and Judges two hits
helped in the general hitting order
of things which was the GriffS' lot
for the afternoon. All told Is
singles were collected off Rube
Walber and Jimmy Deshong, the
two hurlers used by Connie Mack.

DICK LANAHAN
FACES BIG
CHANCE
BY GINO SINH

Dick Lanahan, Eastern's flashy
twirler, will be on his mettle to-
day when he toes the slab in the
super.crucial interhigh school
baseball series contest between
Eastern and Central at Eastern
Stadium, at $3.50.
Dick, making his second ap-
pearance in the series, will have
to kill two birds with one stone.
The southpaw must reeStabliSh
his supremacy as the king of the
high school pitchers, and at the
same time place Eastern in a
commanding position to gain its
fifth consecutive high school
pennant by downing Central, its
strongest rival.
Dicks reputation as the best
hurler in high school circles is in
grave danger. A tall, husky fel-
low from Western, Wild Bill"
Payne, has been turning in i'm
preSsive bits Of box work.
Can Beat Best
Though Western is not rated
a pennant contender, Payne's
work is of such caliber that he
and the Georgetown club is ca
pable of taking the measure Of
any of the other high schools.
Central, with hard-won vic
tories over Business and Western
already to its credit, and a vet
eran team in running, goes into
today's conflict with confidence.
1t can afford to take chances, and
the law of averages, railroaded
through an ante diluvian Con-
gresS, is in its favor.
Jack Ray, Central mentor, has
been putting his youngsters up
against the strongest outside COM
petition he could schedule. His
pitchers are in fine form and the
stick work of his charges is plenty
potent.
Central Looks Good
Central, using De Bettencourt,
Buscher and Myers on the mound,
looked well in it's triumph over
Episcopal, II to 6, Wednesday, the
hurlers being knicked for only six
by the hard7slugging Alexan-
drianS.
Eastern had difficulty in win
ming over Georgetown Prep in it's
warm-up game, but Coach Guyon
did not send Lanahan to the slab,
which may have made consider
able difference.
