Albert Burke. hefty Franco
Irish ball-slugger, and Roman
Najuch, for eleven years pro
master of Deutschland, principals
in the first match, are on a par
in almost every department, md
both are anxious to add the
others scalp to his belt.
Big Bill Tilden should not have
much trouble disposing of En-
NETT Pare, the former Hoya ace.
Pare is tough, but Tilden knows
too much for him.
The doubles match, which con-
cludes today's play, is likely to
produce brilliant tennis. It's
Najuch and Tilden against Pare
and Burke.
A leg injury and lack of time
to get acclimated robS the pro

Hans Nusslein, Europe's pro
champion, twisted his ankle in a
doubles match in New York Tues
day and his doctor ordered him
to idle for two weeks. He had
just beaten Tilden in a singles
match in straight sets when he
was injured.
Karel Kozeluh, who docked at
New York Monday, was unable to
get in any kind Of presentable
shape, and so had to forego the
present series.

.ROEBUCK WAIST
BRINGS DOOM

Tiny Roebuck, the titanic In
dian wrestler, must reduce that
big waistline if he ever hor2s to
avoid an opponent who uses a
flying tackle with ouch devasta-
ting force a. Sammy Stein, the
dark-haired, beetle-browed Jewish
lad.
Roebuck's immense section was
a big target for the charges Of
Stein, the Indian giving way to
a series of flying tackles after
q minutes, 35 seconds in the fea-
ture contest at the Strand Thea
ter last light. Nearly 1000 fans
saw the downfall o. the RedSkin
and sent up a lusty cheer for
Stein.
Stein was the aggressor dur
ing most of the match, oft times
fastening arm-lockS, leg splits,
head locks, ETC., on his heavier
foe. The ring shook on those &C.
casions wher Stein Tipped Roe
buck to the mat through the
medium of a flying mare or head
lock.
Roebuck got into several dis
putes with Referee Benny Bort
nick and, for a time, it looked as
though the two would have it out
with fists. The Indian was Kissed
many times by the fans, and was
so unchivalrous as to talk rudely
to lady spectator.
The nerve-tingling duel was
fought between George zaharlas
and Sander Szabo, which term
mated in a draw after 80 minutes.
Szabo was unable to apply his
best holds because Zaharias had
creased his shoulders and neck.
Szabo protested to Referee Charlie
Swami who halted the match,
grabbed a towel and wiped off the
salve. Then the opponents went
at each other like a pair of rival
tongmen.
Howard Cantonwine spilled AL
Pierotti, former big league pitcher,
with a body press in nine minutes;
Fred Grobmier pinned Lilo Narbo
with his body scissors in IL min
utes. and George Mcleod finished
Cy Williams with a crab hold in
II minutes, while Bascomb Foster
and Bobby Burns Travelled Is min
utes to draw.

Y LNTERHIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL GAMES INTRIGUE ANS
TAX ON SPORTS
HITS COLLEGE
ATHLETICS
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Those provisions of the Federal
Tax bill which effect intercol.
legiate sport activities are not at
all satisfactory to the army of
college athletic directors, man.
ayers. coaches, assistants and in
tra-mural supervisors, coaches,
directors and assistants.
! However, despite the opposition
| of the collegiate athletic men,
it appears unlikely that either
the House or the Senate will give
more than scant attention TO any
appeals to alter the bill as It re-
lateS to college sport activities.
AS one studies the COLLEGIATE
athletic situation, with the
thought of condoning it with the
present economic distress, one
feels that curtailment of ther in
tercollegiate program and re-
trenchment all along the intra-
mural and minor sports line is
inevitable.
Sharp Fall
Diminution of football returns
Will probably be quite sharp this
coming season Since the grid
game is in many cases the bread
winner for the entire collegiate
athletic family, it is only natural
that suffering will first come to
the less popular but not less i'm
portant athletic activities.
Those college athletic enter
priseS which have not been self
supporting are already beginning
to feel the effects of the economic
depression. They assuredly will
doubly suffer when the Federal
Government makes its sally into
the gold of football this fall.
There is one angle to this tax
proposition which is uppermoSt
in the minds of the various inter-
collegiate establishments: T e
necessity for widespread reduc-
ton will first be felt by the
minor sports coaches and their
assistants, gymnasium directors
and their assistants, directors and
coaches of intra-mural sports and
their assistants. Many of them
are going to lose their jobs, which
means they will join the ranks
of the unemployed. These men
are underpaid now, and any ap-
preciable cut in salary would
mean nearly as much to them as
unemployment.
Cut Price
At the moment, it seems that
the very plans of the college
athletic authorities to reduce
prices for this years football
games give the best evidence that
gross receipts are going to fall
off quite badly. Those who have
known collegiate athletic condi-
tions in the South during boom
times, when money even then
was lacking for desired expansion
of minor and intramural sports,
readily realize that similar con-
dition existing throughout the
nation will mean a probable loss
to the harder-hit collegiate ath-
letic establishments of so per
cent of their coaching, directing
and assisting personnel.

LINCOLN PARK
N|NEDEBUTS
TOnAY
By GINO SINH

Due to a better brand of ball
and many thrills which have
marked the interhigh school base
ball series games to date, this
years series is attracting some
what more interest than those of
recent years.
Not a little of the credit for
the added interest is due to the
fact that Eastern, who has romped
away with the title for five con-
Secutive years, has a real chal-
lenger in Central. Besides both
Western and Business are hard to
get along with on certain days.
Eastern makes its debut in
the series today. with Tech, the
weakest team III the series, in
the opposite corner.
Lanahan On Hill
Dick Lanahan is sure to start
for the Lincoln ParkerS, with
Bonnie Phillips in reserve. Bob
Chewing will be Foxley's prob
able first choice, with Speed"
Turner ready to toe the slab
should the going get too hot for
Chewing.
Coach Guyon has been pushing
his boys through many exhibit
ton games against the most
potent prep schools in the vicin-
ity, and the Lincoln ParkerS are
expected to breeze through to-
days encounter with little diff
Guilty.
The Northeast crew lost a ma
jority of its diamond stars at the
last graduation, and the Chiefs"
difficulty was getting the new
turnout of youngsters sufficiently
seasoning. According to scores
piled up against strong prep
school opposition the lads are
clicking nicely.
Guyon got a break in that his
mound ace, Lanahan, is back,
heavier, stronger and smarter
than ever, and that three of Con.
Zaga's better players shifted their
allegiance to the Lincoln Park
institute this year. Also he num-
bers a nifty array of hard-hitters
among the newcomers.
Passed Tough Ones
However, Central has safely
navigated by Western and Bust
ness, the Scylla and Charybdis
of the series. The Blue and
White aggregation had to rise to
the heights in downing the
Georgetowners, who, inspired by
the splendid pitching of wild
Bill" Payne were letting their
ambitions mount higher and
higher with each succeeding
inning.
Eastern was supposed to have
had break when continued cold
weather forced an indefinite post
ponement of their opening series
game against Western a week
ago. With the showing made
against Central in mind, those
WeSterners will be much harder
to handle now than they would
have been last Friday.
But Guyon, a clever psychol.
ogiSt as we'll as a smart coach.
believes that the champions al
ways have the edge, and he
Is banking heavily on this
hypothesis.

FAMOUS AVIATOR, BERNT BALCHEN, 0N PACIFIC
 COAST ID BUY PLANE

LOS ANGELES, April 27-Bernt Belchen, famous aviator who has been on seven polar expeditions both to the Arctic and the Antarc- tic, is in Los Angeles at the pres ent time to purchase a plane which will be used by Explorer Lincoln Ellsworth in his coming Antarctic explorations. Belchen stated that the purpose of the expedition is to secure further geographical knowledge of this southerly ex- treme and to provide data for fu- ture explorations. The expedition is also expected to secure data which will be an aid to determin- ing weather conditions throughout the world.
 Belchen said that Antarctic ex- ploration is more severe than ex- ploration in the Arctic regions be- cause the former is subject to sud- den changes in weather-sudden and severe storms come up very unexpectedly. Anotner feature which makes exploration more hazardous than in the Arctic is the fact that there is no wild life from which food can be secured in the event that this is necessary.

SOUP KITCHENS WERE

CHICAGO, April 28-Al Capone was not the operator of the three food kitchens which were recently established here to help the un- employed of this city. This was re- vealed Wednesday at graft trial which is underway here and in which a number of city officials are being tried for corrupt prac- ticeS.
 For a while, it was believed that Capone, from his prison cell, was paying for the operations of these kitchens and he received a lot of sentimental publicity for the al- legged act.
 However, the trial disclosed that Chicago merchants were in reality the supporters of these kitchens.
