Of the Day Nursery boxing shows
at Alexandria will have three
eightrround bouts, a Six-round
main prelim and two four-round-
erS tossed at them tonight at
Portner'S arena.
It would be difficult to select
the most promising bout Of the
night. So well matched is the
talent that any bout is likely to
explode and set the customers
agog.
May Steal Show
Many believe the Gabe NaVoS-
Pete Powell affair, which is
slated as the Six-round main
preliminary, will steal the show,
On the other hand, Walter Kirk
wood and Bob Turner are fav.
ored to give the best exhibition
of boxing and slugging.
Sailor McKenna, rugged local
lightweight, stages a comeback
when he tackles Tootsie Bashara,
Norfolk youngster, in an eight

McKenna recently beat Charley
Thompson in Baltimore in what
was termed a hair-raiser. Nc
Kenna was brought back the
next week only to be trimmed
by Vince Serio. However, Mac

is expected of him tonight.

Sam Finazzo meets K. 0. Riley
in a four-rounder, and Lynn King
opens the show facing Kid Roa-
noke.
Tonight's card will probably be
the last of the all-star cards for
the indoor season. Two all-star
cards were presented earlier in
the season, and if tonight's en-
counters come within a shade of
the previous ones, the

he realizes his aims this year.
The slender lad possesses all the
tricks of the trade when it comes
to curves. Burke reported in

should experience little trouble

Dizzy Dean, picturesque pitcher
of the st. Louis Cardinals, was
really dizzy today. He got that
way from taking a shellacking

drubbed the Cards here, II to 3.

SCHEDULE
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


The "oily Birds" bold band of
Rock Greek Park golfers who
arise before dawn in spring and
summer, plan to begin their
monthly tournaments either Mon
day or the following Monday.
The opening depends upon the cliN
matte conditions.
The "Oily Birds" are composed
mostly of office workers, who
play matches before taking up
the days toll. In the height Of
of summer some Of the members
steal from covers and report to
the starting tee at 4:30 o'clock in
the morning.
Morning Golf First
The members are true to the
tradition, of their organization
and often sacrifice peaceful sleep
to keep appointments. AS a re
suit, there are few defaults. Their
creed is that an hour or two on
the golf course before work is a
great tonic.
L. v. Bowly, $500 Connecticut
Ave, chairman of the tourna-
tnent committee, is arranging the
schedule of matches for the April
tournament as well as handlcaps.
He is anxious to hear from the
following members: Bonney, Chad
wick, Clampitt, Davidson, Del
Vecchio, Foster, Knott, Levy
Meaney, Pierce. Poison, Skinner,
Taylor, Weaver, Wright and
Schweinhaut.
Heavy Muny Play
AL Farr, manager at East Po-
tomac Park, and Harry Graham,
manager at Rock Greek Park, re-
ported the heaviest business OF
the winter for the municipal
course this past weekend. There
were long waiting lines at the
starting tees and many were dis
appointed in not being able to
play the desired number Of holes.
This crowded condition at the
municipal courses was brought
about because most of the club
courses were closed owing to the
thaw. Greenkeepers at most of
the club courses feared damage
would result if they permitted
play. However, the municipal
links were in fine shape and no
harm resulted from the heavy
play.

BILOXI, Miss, March %.
Rookie pitchers face what can be
termed the home stretch Of their
future careers beginning today.
The remaining exhibition games
on schedule no doubt will find
Bob Friedrich. Lynn Griffith,
Frank Ragland, Mike Delaney
and Johnny Boyle bearing down"
heavily in both the practice ses-
Sions and games in order to i'm
press johnson.
The latest thing Manager John
son is Stressing is the holding of
runners on first and second base
and the manner in which each
hurler should conduct himself
while on the mound in these i.
stances.
During yesterdays practice ses-
sion johnson gathered all of MS
recruits around him and ex-
planned the best ways to keep
those runners on the bases-the
manner in which the hurler
should stand in the box, the way
he should turn to throw to first
base and second.
Ragland Has Promise
Figuring that Pitcher Frank
Ragland promises to be of great
help to the team this year. John.

Pitcher Fred Marberry is in
uniform once again. Roy Spen-
Ger is expected to don one today.
He idled yesterday for precau-
t1onary measures. Lloyd Brown,
like Marberry. is once more out

himself much better and ready
to work himself into the condi.
ton necessary for him to be at
his best.
Bobby Burke is a new ailing
