NEW YORK. Oct. 80.
Jim liked nothing better in the world than to sit around
all night playing poker. But after he had sat in with the
same group of several times he invariably discovered
that his presence wasn't exactly vital to their happiness
Smiles of welcome became forced When he arose to go
home, protested very loudy-or very sincerely.
Now lean back and relax. For it wasn't because
he hadn't learned play the piano in five easy lessons
Nor because he didn't saxophone. 1t simply that
Jim too lucky. He could sit down at game with l6
in his pocket and go home with everything the
table. l think l safe in stating that Jim could win
the shirt off your back That is if you lucky enough
in these times TO have a shirt

Shakespeare gave Melvyn Doug
las his chance. At least, the
Bard's plays brought him into

cess led him to Hollywood and
now in "The Old Dark House, Z"
at the Rialto Theater, he is win

Lucky Kid

Lucky Kid
It was always like that from
the time he was a kid. 1t be-
gan with marbles. Then there
was a bicycle in a rattle at
the neighborhood movie house.
The bicycle should have gone
by rights to the managers
nephew. But something slipped,
! and it became Jim's.
Later there was Flo. At
least two other men were ex-
tremely unhappy when Flo de-
cided to pass them up in favor
Of Jim. Just lucky again.
Whether or not the two gentle
men changed their opinion,
within the next few years, in
regard to who was truly lucky,
is something else again.
Not Jim, however. There
were but two things in life that
mattered to him-Flo and
gambling-and they are named
in the order of their impor-
tance. Yet, strangely enough,
he could not give up the
racket.
He could stop for a week.
Sometimes for a month. Then
the fever would be on him
again, always a little worse
than before. OF course you
have guessed by this time that
the old home town would be-
come a trifle unsatisfactory to
Jim and that he would yearn
to hit the big time games in
the big cities. Although he won
steadily, his winnings we're
small. Yet this did not make
Jim unhappy. He knew that
his break would come soon.
Thinking about it, he would
draw out shining $40 gold
piece that he carried in his
watch pocket. This was the
first piece of money he had
ever won. It was his one
superstition. His lucky piece.
Nothing on earth could have
induced him to part with it.
He felt that in some way, as
long as he carried it, his luck
would last. And he would never
be absolutely broke.
SweePstake Winner
His break came when he and
Flo had been married a year.
There we're but three important
winners in that big sweep
stakes, and Jim was one OF
the three. Need 1 tell you
that he lost no time in shaking
the dust of the old home town
from his brogueS?
OF course Flo went, too. Not
willingly, but because she loved
Jim and realized that. in spite
of everything, he really loved
her. But she was very miser-
able about it. Miserable and
lonely.
More than once she urged
him to give it all up and go
back home. His answer was
always the same.
"Quit now, honey? While
I'm winning?" he would say
blithely. Nothing doing. The
time to quit is when you're
broke-wiped out. That's the
time to start all over in small
town. No stree, baby. Enjoy
it while we've got it, and when
we're broke, We'll beat it back"
Then he would pull out his
lucky piece and begin to rub
, 1t lovingly. Flo's glance was
anything but loving.
"Broke!" she would echo bit
terly. How can you ever be
broke as long as you have that
twenty-dollar gold piece, will
you tell me? And you'd much
rather lose an eye than part
with that. Oh, Jim, I tell YOU
I'm unhappy here! Can't we
60 home?"
Jim would shake his head.
mot right now, dear. It'd
be a crime to pass up a string
OF luck like I've run into lately
When they clean me out of
everything, including this old
gold piece. then We'll get out"
That day'll never come" Flo
would murmur. Her hopes of a
sane and normal life in the lit
Tie cottage were fading rapidly.
Ine only chance of their re.
turning. she knew WAS thnt liz.

NEW CHANCE

Goldie Ahearn's sensational
middleweight, Bingo Brodie, will
have another chance to get back
into the limelight Tuesday night
at Portner's Arena in Alexandra,
Va, when he swaps dukes with
Johnny Brock, Slugging Baltimore
boy. g..
When Bingo hits 'em he knocks
'em dead. Young Perry, however,
succeeded in holding the Jewish
battler to a draw in his last start
after being knocked down twice.
Young Van, recent amateur,
will make his pro debut against
Johnny Edwards in another four
round preliminary which was
added last night.
Color and action surrounds the
Antol KocSis-Billy LanderS setto,
which is featured as the headline
go. Antol is being carefully
handled by Jimmy Bronson, who
is grooming him for shot at
AL Brown, bantam champ.
1t may be that he has over
matched his protege against the
blond ripper from Norfolk whose
right hand carries dynamite.
Bobby Burns, rugged Baltl-
more lightweight, who has de-
feated Tommy Bashar and al
ways gives the customers a run
for their cash, will meet Louie
Jallos. Greek sensation from
Cleveland, in the eight-round
Semi-Windup.

SHINES.
On DRIVES

Joe Pricci, flashy Italian ace,
is out to prove to local citizenry
that his name belongs properly
alongside that of his brilliant
countrymen, Ollie Pacini and
Tony Santini.
Last night he committed may
hem on $50 pins to lead the Rex
team to a new all-time Recreation
League high game mark, 665. He
wound up the evening with a 395
set. Recently he won the Mary
land Sweepstakes.
Joe Mulvey, however, was the
big glow in the league with Ala
set and a 1853 game.
The Fountain Hams continue
to "flub" golden opportunities.
Hyattsville won two games in
the District League as the Hames
piled all their best games in one
with Brad Mandley's 1852 and 381
set. Henry Hiser's 361 set was
best for the winners.
Other prodigious scores were
Hamilton's 165 game and 800 set
in the Commercial League, Bill
Harris 158 game and 367 set in
the War Department League,
DIxon's 155 game and 379 set in
the Automotive League. Angelo

358 set in the Interior Depart
ment League and Oeser's 377 in

TONIGHT

Troublesome opponents have
been the order for the Georgetown
University basketers this season,
and tonight will be no exception
for the powerful Pitt five will be
entertained in the Tech High gym
at $3.50 o'clock.
Pitts wnicn annexed 20 Of "a
games last season, was off to a
poor start this year, but has came
forward at a whirlwind pace over
the last half stretch. The team
has gained momentum, and will
be at it's best against the Hilltop
pers tonight.
William doc" Kowallis and
Tim Lawry, forwards, and Don
Smith, guard, we're regulars on
the great Pitt team of last year.
Coach Fred Mesmer may have
to shift his Georgetown lineup
as Joe O'Neill, hero of the victory
over West Virginia, may'not start.
In this case, Jack Crowley will be
switched from forward to guard,
and Loughlin, reserve, installed
at forward.

ST.JOHNS JOLTS
EASTERN FIVE

There's something got to be
done about this peppery st.
Johns quintet. If something isn't
done very soon, the youngsters
under Coach Paully Bryne'S wing
will walk off with every laurel
of the present season-as if they
have not already.
A week or so ago, the Johnnies
upset the Tech High five, one of
the strongest teams in the high
schools. Yesterday, these same
Johnnies wiped up the floor with
Eastern, recently crowned high
school champions, in a game
which ended 26 to 81 in the
Bryne-coached teams favor.
A peppery team these Johnnies
of st. Johns. Yesterday was no
exception. Anxious to beat East
ern all season, having come near
twice in two previous games,
Coach Bryne's men jumped into
the lead from the outset and
held it throughout At the end
of the first quarter a 6-to-5
advantage was held.
Increase Lead
This was increased to 13 to 8
by half time and 20 to Is at the
termination of the third quarter
Mike Scanlon, fighting guard,
was the tough man to stop as his
seven baskets for IA points bring
out. Then, the performances of
the remainder of the team was
inspiring to say the least.
Kane was the best player for
Eastern. He totaled seven points.
Another high school team took
it on the nose yesterday when
Central dropped a 26 to % en-
gagement to the Maryland Fresh
men at College Park. The Terps,
with the exception of the first
five minutes, had things their
own way to score a decisive
triumph.

in defeating the Wilson Teachers.

reason to feel that members Of
the executive committee Of the
N. c. A. A. also know about 1t.
Should Know Plan
A natural question arises:
"What has become of the
pIan?"
It is probable that if presi.
dents of member colleges and
universities of the N. c. A. A.
knew more about the MaSterson
plan, and the conditions which
caused the plan to be conceived,
they would take enough imme-
date interest to warrant the
N. C. A. A. to call a special meet
ing of the executive committee
to discuss the plan with the end
in view of presenting it to the

eff the N. C. A. A. follows this
suggestion" writes the grid
coach, responsible officials of
member colleges and universi-
ties will gain real knowledge of
this whole matter of intercOl-
legiate sport. As matters stand
now, when the various preSi-
dents receive their invitations
to the N. C. A. A. meetings they
send substitutes, usually men
from the athletic establish
mentS. The net result for the
responsible academic officials
is that they are placed in such
position that they do not have
all the facts. 1t is inevitable
that confusion should exist
among the responsible academic
officials"
The N. C. A. A. as now organ.

the desired number of responsible
academic officials to its meetings
The advices of the N. C. A. A.,
therefore, do not truly reflect
academic opinion. A study of
those advices. over a period OF
years rather indicates that they
reflect a strange admixture of
academic and professional thought
Only Advisory Body

come from the N. C. A. A. for the

has been, an advisory body. If il

it must be a legislative and en-

This is the first step towards
crowning an independent court
champion for the current season.
The Giants, SkinkerS and the
Vics are the teams in running
for the championship. They will
play a round robin to determine
the champion.
The Skinker Eagles won the
championship hands down last
year, but this year it will be a
different story as the competi-
tors are much stronger.
Brooke Grubb, head man Of
the Giants, has signed a capable
center in Paul Dillon who
roamed the courts for George
town University last year. He
supplants Larry Boener who is
suffering from leg injuries. Be-
sides Dillon, the HowitzerS have

reserve Keppel will have Morris,
Hessler, McMenmanin and Far
rell.
Vic Gauzza, who runs the Sports
Shop five, is anxious for his
charges to win the title this year.
Vic has been affiliated with vari-
Gus sport activities around the city

TEAM To LOSE
ONLY TWO
PLAYERS.
By GARRETT WATERS


Coach Artie Boyd and his Tech
High basketers want to forget.
Also they want to instill them
selves with hopes anew for next
years interhigh school series bas-
ketball race.
1--WE have no 4libiS," says
Artie. We lost the title to East
ern-an excellent team-and we
lost it good and proper. But we
do not propose to moan over
our failure. Instead we want to
forget and realize that there's
plenty of hope for a title win
next year."
Thus, you have Techs reaO,ion
over that schools defeat at the
hands of Eastern in the sinal
game for the basketball cham
pionship recently.
A good way to take thei~ loss
to say the least.
Come next year and Tech will
be in the running again no doubt.
The team has too good a scoring
collection of youngsters not to be.
Two To Graduate
Another thing, most every play
er on this years squad will be
back to work their heads off for
Coach Boyd. In fact, only two
will be missing because of gradua-
ton, namely, Everett Russell and
Artie Wilson. And of this pair
only Russell played every game
this year.
Those speedy little youngsters,
Waverly Wheeler and Bernie
Reichardt will be back as greatly
experienced players, while Fred
Thomas, Jim Reed and Francis
DAILY are due to return.
A veteran combination might
as well be figured to represent the
Techmen next year with this col
lection on hand. Of course, Rus.
sell will be missed, but he had to
graduate some time.
Artie WilliSon will be missed
also, even though he did not get
into but one game this year. I'm
mediately here comes the new
hopes idea for the-youngsters left
Forced to be placed on their own
without a capable guide such as
Russell and Wilson, the lads
feel that with any sort of concen.
trated effort they'll be able to
come through victorious, particu'
larly when they'll have to do it
themselves.
Subs to Return
Several others who we're bench
warmers this year will return for
basketball in 1888. They include
Gregorio and Gillem, forwards;
Diversion, center. and Roland and
Nau, guards. Gregorio, Gillem
and Diversion are most known of
this group, but Nau and Roland
no doubt will be heard from by
the time the series rolls around
again,
