TRIALS
FOR LACROSSE
UNNECESSARY
BY HARRY COSTELLO
Olympic games lacrosse.

OlyIHplC gaines AdNAOcoC'
Money.
, Put those two items together
and you have something which
will annoy you.
Johns Hopkins Universlty's Ia
crosse team has won the national
championship. Any persons OF
sane mind readily admits that
Hopkins has the best lacrosse
team in the United States.
Along comes the American La
crosse Committee (Whatever that
isl, AFTER Johns Hopkins has
won the national title, and stages
a play-off involving eight teams.
Calls PIay-Off Unnecessary
The play-off consists of two
double headers in the quarter
finals in two cities, New York
and Baltimore, on June IL: one
double header in the semlfinals,
here in washington, on June 18;
and, the final game in New York,
at some later date. Thus four
chances to bring money into the
till ("what till?" says yoW are
created.
H. C. Curly" Byrd, director of
athletics and vice president of the
University of Maryland, suggests
that the play-off is unnecessary.
He points out that Hopkins is the
team for Los Angeles and the
Olympics.
There can be no doubt that Mr..
Byrd's point is we'll taken.
Now, as near as can be figured,
the idea of the play-off is to OBJ
tain money. This brings up an.
other point: Why so much
money?
Could Raise Money
Some point out that Baltimore
could and would, if requested to
do so, raise in a single day the
amount of money necessary to
send the Hopkins team to Cali
fornia.
All of these things suggest that
it might not be bad plan for the
American lacrosse committee to
Explain in full just what this
whole play-off business is all
about. Apparently, to date, no
such explanation has been forth
coming. The result: Suspicion.
This money angle to our Amer.
lcan amateur athletics is forever
cropping up to annoy followers Of
sport. In this particular case, IL
has cropped Ip in such a way as
to cause even lacrOsse's best
friends to lift their eyebrows III
questioning. Newspaper writer's
also are questioning the play-off
plan in no indefinite manner.
Amateur athletic officials may
be innocent of any wrongdoing
in relation to monies taken in
at these various sports events.
However, it would seem that right
now is as good a time as any
for officials to explain this la
crosse business. 1t should be ex-
planned fully, and, if play offs are
necessary, it probably would not
be bad notion to account i'm
mediately for all monies taken in.
Perhaps it is that some of the
money derived from these play
off games will 60 to the Olympic
games finance committee, which
is some 100000 short of the
amount necessary to finance
Americas Olympic team. If so,
this should all be explained, and
in full,

Former d. C.. Boxer
Beats Guard Champ

NEW YORK, June 3.-Eddie
Bowling, former Washington ID.
c. windmill, today had proven
his supremacy over Fred Monte,
National Guard featherweight
champion, by his 10-round box
ing victory.
It was Bowling's second straight
victory over Monte. but Fred's
title was not at stake. The bout
took a personal angle after the
third round and nothing ap-
peared to be barred.

FALL FROM RING
DEFEATSFRED

A nasty spill from the ring was
mainly responsible for Fred Grc5-
mier losing to Jim Londos in the
feature wrestling match at the
Clark Griffith Stadium before
more than 5000 customers. The
termination of the battle, one OF
the best ever witnessed here, and
which aroused fans to feveriSh
pitch, came after 43 minutes with
Londos first applying his air
plane" spin, and pinning his
weakened rival with a body slam.
Just before Grobmier went
hurtling through the ropes, the
lanky Iowa grappler had the
champion in an embarrassing
position. Grobmier had fastened
his figure four" hold around
Mr.. Londos' mid-section, and the
champion rolled around the ring,
trying to reach the ropes.
Fans Crowd RingSide
The fans, nine-tenthS of whom
were solidly for Grobmier, leaped
to their feet, believing the cham
pionship would change hands. A
few of the more bold crowded
around the ringside, but were
dispersed by the alert police.
Excitement was intense and
the din terrific as Grobmier'S
followers exhorted him to apply
the pressure. Fred was deter
mined not to permit the Greek
to lay his hands on those ropes
but slowly, inch by inch, LondoS
gained his goal and Referee
Cyclone Burns was compelled to
unwrap the gladiatorS.
Punches LOndOS
AS they came to the center,
Grobmier staggered Londos with
elbow punches to the head. For
some unknown reason, Grobmier
tried a flying tackle. The cham
pion stepped aside and Grobmier
sailed through the ropes, landing
heavily on the hard soil. He was
dazed for a few seconds, but
clambered back into the ring and
stoutly made an attempt to con-
tinue his fight but the fall had
sapped his stamina and Londos
put on the finishing touches.
Chief White Feather was in
good form last night as he and
Jim Corrigan engaged in drawn
battle of 80 minutes. The Chief
pulled every trick he knew and
the fans booed him a-plenty. Jim
McMillen pinned Frank Bru,
novice with flying tackle in %
minutes. George Cochrane tossed
Roughhouse Olsen in 9 minutes,
and Nick zaras beat Cy Copley in
13 minutes.

BAY REPORTS
! SPOTTY AND
(. UNCERTAIN
BY GINO, SINH

Father Potomac is an obliging
sort of. spirit and very sympa-
thetic to the anglers who live
on its margin.
While the bay, on both shores,
the lower Potomac and the Pa
tuxent have at best been incon-
sistent as fishing grounds over
the last two weeks due to high
winds, Father Potomac has been
harboring a liberal collection Of
beautiful pan rocks in the gen
eral neighborhood of Fletchers.
The run is expected to continue
for quite a while.
They are not exclusively pan
sized, either. For instance, yes
terday Harry Schou pulled out
a rock fish weighing eight
pounds, which would certainly
require a gargantuan skillet to
cook. A seven FOUNDER was
caught not so long ago, and four
and five Founders are fairly
numerous.
Caught Perch
Eock is not the only type avail
able around FletcherS. Sid Atlas
spent Tuesday there and caught
so nice-looking perch. Harry
GrosSman returned from the
same place with a fine mixture
of pan rock and perch.
The D. c. bass season opened
auSpiciouSly on Memorial Day as
the local anglers enticed quite a
few beauties out of the waters in
the Georgetown channel. A few
bass and crappies were caught
in the Tidal Basin.
Marvin and Hugh Downing,
fishing for a couple of hours on
the sea wall Memorial Day after
noon. caught 16 nifty perch. They
noticed two colored youngsters
each with strings of 40 or so Of
them.
Lefty" Jewett and Lefty" Nc
1ntyre CAUGHT a few perch in the
Shenandoah, near the dam, and
report fine run Of carp and cat
fish there.
High winds continue to kick
up the water and reports from
the salt water centerS are scat
tered. Those who have favorite
spots were successful in picking
up quite a few hardheads, how
ever.
E. M. Conn and his brother,
Julius, down from Massachusetts,,
filled the rumble seat of coupe
fishing a few miles below Bene-
dict. Jimmy Burns, Frank Cost
mano. Phil Catalina and Louie
Clockel landed 40 hardheads and
a few perch in their favorite
PatuXent haunt.
Be. edict o. X.
Clinton Tucker, ST., and junior,
Evan Long, Bill Ware, Howard
Turner, Jack Morris and Jack
Dempsey, ST., and junior, landed
many beautiful specimen at Bene-
dict. Jack Morris devoted his
time to the eels, catching plenty
of them.
Dempsey, sr. (not the Manassa
Mauler), gave a casting exhibi-
tion, which nearly lost him a
handsome rod and reel. When
the rod was finally retrieved, a
three-pound hardhead was dis
covered on it The same party
is heading for PalmerS, Md, this
weekend.
Capt. Bob Wilson, a fisherman
of long standing, took a look at
the Patuxent Sunday, but found
that the high winds prevented
any real fishing.
"The fish are there but the
wind chops up the water SO
badly that they can not take
the bait"
Jennings Brown got only 5 big
hardheads at Broomes Island, but
made up for it by collecting five
dozen huge soft shell crabs.
H. Addison Bowie was disap-
pointed at Broomes Island, and
"Roscoe" Powell and a group of
friends failed to click at Solo
mons Island.
John Manifold and party
hauled in Al hardheads off
Sharps Island and John Bohlayer,
of Herring Bay, shared 33 hard
heads from the same waters.
The Washington times., 1932-06-03


Where Prof. Monte Weaver was
not as effective as he might have
been, Big Fred Marberry was bet
ter, with the result Our Griff.
men" took the first game of the
double header against the Red
Sox, 6 to 4, and came right back
to win the second, to l, be-
cause of Bobby Burke's stellar
hurting.
In regard to the hitting of the
team, it was all that could be
asked. The Griffs had a. real
pitcher to beat in the first en-
gagement--Danny MacFayden-
and went out and turned the
trick because they kept pecking
away at Danny's offerings until
they got the lead to hold it until
the last Red SoX was put out in
the ninth.
Four Errors Help
It might be said four Sox errors
helped the Griffs to win this one,
but the hitting played just as
prominent a part, as without 1t
those errors would not have made
any difference at all.
In the second game the Sox
could do hardly anything with
Burke until the seventh. Here,
with one out, Oliver dropped a
single to center. Rhyme went
out by the strike out route, but
Connolly shot a triple to the
right field corner, scoring Oliver.
This little splurge was all the
CollinSmen could do off Burke,
although they collected two hits
later-one each in the eighth
and ninth.
Up to this seventh, Burke had
granted only three bingleS-one
in the second by Pickering, one
in the third by Connolly, and
one in the sixth by Webb. In
summary, it was just fine day
for Burke, who turned in his
beSt-pitched game of the year.
Weaver Wild
Wildness marred Prof. Monte
Weaver'S efforts in the first
game. The Sox counted twice
in the third and once each in
the third and fourth due mainly
because of the passes he issued.
In the fifth, the Griffs staged a
batting rally. and so prodigious
one it was that Manager John.
son called upon Dave Harris to
hit for the Professor.
Dave delivered and as a result
the pitching peak found Fred
Marberry in control ending the
fifth, which peak he handled
manfully until the last putout
in the ninth.
The Griffs collected IA hits off
MacFayden in the first game
Bluege'S three featuring. Ter
were gathered in the second en-
counter off Bull Durham, Wiley
Moore and Lefty Michaels. The
latter hit Sammy West on the
right ear in the ninth inning of
this contest-forcing Sammy to
retire in favor of Dave Harris
The injury has not proved a
serious one as West is due to take
his usual place in center field
during the remaining games OF
this long series.
