Waite Hoyt, Free Agent Would Join Griifffn1en
HOLDS HOPES
Of SIGNING
HERE
By GARRETT WATERS

Made a free agent by his un-
conditional release from the
Philadelphia AS by Manager Con-
ME Mack, Waite Hoyt, veteran
hurler of IA years of service in
the big leagues, hopes to make
connections with the Washington
Griffmen, according to Philadel-
phia reports.
Hoyt, who reports himself in
excellent shape, has intimated he
plans to engage in conference
with Owner Clark Griffith either
by phone. letter or personal ap-
pearance in the next day or so,
hoping of course that he will be
able to get himself new job.
Griff May Consider
Griff could not be reached at
late hour today for a state
ment in regards to his views on
hiring Hoyt. Needing pitchers
like his club needs them this
season, however, it is thought
that the prexy might consider
signing Hoyt on general prin-
cipals, if for no other reason.
There's no doubt that Hoyt
could help the Griffmen. Although
veteran of IA years of big
league service, the former Boston
Red Sox, Yankee, Detroit Tiger
and Philadelphia hurler, is only
50 years of age and due for a
couple more years active work.
Winner of 10 games or more, he
would be of value to say the
least.
Philadelphia grabbed the vet
eran last July on waivers from
the Detroit Tigers. Immediately
after joining the AS, Hoyt won
his first start from the Boston
Red Sox, to 2, and finished
the campaign with a record Of 10
victories against 5 losses.
Question of Salary
1t would be a question OF
salary if Griff considered Hoyt
at all for the Griffmen. The
veteran was released by Connie
Mack of the AS because he
wanted too much money for his
services this year.
Nothing new has developed on
the deal hanging fire between
the Griffs and Detroit Tigers IN
volving Joe Judge. Latest con
ciusions are that Harris is await
ine word from Owner Frank
Navin of the Tigers in regards
to a proposal made Harris oy
Griff involving Judge and z
Tiger player presumably a
catcher.

terrific and despite the zero

GORDONFACES
JACOBS IN
FEATURE

AL Gordon, veteran Philadelphia
junior welterweight and protege
of Buzzer" Ryan, local handler
of boxers, will substitute for Bus
ter Brown tonight against Stumpy
Jacobs, rapid-fire lightweight from
Hopewell, Va, in the eight-round
windup of the Alexandria Day
Nursery card at Portner'S Arena.
Gordon met every outstanding
lightweight and Junior welter in
the game today. He has had six
years experience in the roped
arena, and is capable of holding
his own with the best.
According to Ryan, Gordon Is
in good shape, and anxious to
make a showing before a local
audience.
Jacobs In Shape
Jacobs is in the best condition
of his career. He has been train
ing diligently at his camp in
Hopewell for two weeks getting
ready for Brown. whom he con-
sidered the toughest customer he
has yet faced.
In Philadelphia, where Gordon
first came into the boxing lime
light, he is known as a willing
mixer, hard puncher and a
clever boxer. He has fought wind
ups at the arena against the best.
Henry Irving. smashing local
middleweight, is set for his eight
round semi-windup with Walter
Kirkwood, young Norfolk slugger.
Irving's last battle here was with
Joe Finazzo, whom he held to a
draw in eight heats.
Met Light-heavyweights
Heretofore, Henry has been
forced to meet light-heavyweights.
This is the first time in his
brief pugilistic career that he
has been matched with an op-
ponent his own weight.
Much is expected from him
tonight when he goes against the
rugged Norfolk boy.
Young Perry tackles Keller

preliminary. Perry held Bingo
Brodie to a draw recently.
Jack Quigley gets Benny Till

A. j. WINNING CHANCES STYLE,
STREAK HA[TED.W|N CUE TITLE

CHICAGO, Feb. g. Augie
Kieckhefer. Chicago, is the world
three cushion billiard champion
today. BY defeating Otto ReiselC
Philadelphia, so to q in 40 in
nings here last night, he regained
the title he last held in 1927.
Shortly after Kieckhefer lost
the title in 1927-and ironically
enough it was Reiselt who de-
feated him-he lost the sight of
one eye. Physicians said he would
never be able to play again.
Kieckhefer fooled them. He
changed from a right handed
player to southpaw. After
three years of painstaking prac-
tice, he had mastered the diff
cult game as a left-handed player.
Again one of the top-notchers,
Kieckhefer prepared to stage his
comeback in the tournament last
year. A physical breakdown sent
him to the hospital. He was
through this time, they said, but
Kieckhefer fooled them again.

TECH -EASTERN FIVES IN TITLE FLOOR GAME T(

RATED FOR
MEETING
BY GARRETT WATERS

Dy OhnhG "HA GANo
With nothing less than cham.
pionship at stake, the Tech and
Eastern teams meet today in the
feature high school series game at
the Tech gymnasium.
Their fight for supremacy will
be preceded by an encounter be-
tween Business and Western at
$3.50 o'clock, two teams whose only
reasons for playing is to finish
out their schedules.
In all the pair of contests ring
down the curtain on scholastic
basketball for the season Of 1882.
That is, it ends the floor game
as far as the series is concerned.
Game y TOss-Up
A decided toss-up involves the
doping of the Tech-EaStern brush.
Both have played some excellent
basketball this season, and both,
as a result, find themselves dead
locked for first place. after a
long and continued struggle to
keep pace with each other.
Today a positive parting of the
ways comes. A champion will be
named unless a tie game results
and that's not the most impossi-
BILE thing in the world.
Coaches of both teams are reti-
cent as to the chances of their
teams victory. Both admit, how
{ 'er, that they expect plenty of
battle and hold hopes eternal that
the best team may win.
One of those enthusiastic
crowds no doubt will cram every
available space for the contest.
In full, an afternoon of excellent
basketball entertainment is in
store.
Both teams will go into the
game without the services of val
liable players. Tech will not have

Eastern will miss it's dependable

The American University five's
streak, which had reached nine
straight triumphs, was at an END
today following the Eagles defeat
mt the hands of the st. Johns
College basketers in game at
Annapolis last night, 27 to IA.
While Coach Youngs team bit
the dust two other local college
combinations found it possible to
win, the Catholic University
Cardinals defeating Bucknell, 80
to 81 in an overtime game, and
Georgetown U. handing West Vlr'
ginia a 45-to-31 trouncing.
A nightmare of second hal1
spelled defeat for American Uni,
versity against st. Johns. Coac l
Young's men found it almost N
possible to break through the
Marylander's defense. and when
they did their shots went wide, or
were wild. During the first hall
st. Johns was played to a stand
still, the score ending in a 9-to-9
deadlock.
CdEuS
Baskets by Galiher and Spin
nelli and three free tosses by
Galiher in the extra period won
for Catholic University over
Bucknell. These points came
after the visitors had rallied in
the waning minutes of the final
quarter, necessitating the over
i time round. Sheary and Galihe1
were the Cardinals best players
with IL and II points each
while Chenowertn was high man
for Bucknell with 16 points.
Georgetown's triumph over
West Virginia was quite an upset
At half time, however, it was
apparent that the Hoyas were in
the game TO stay. They led
10 to 16.
Keeping the pace in the fina'
quarters, Georgetown closed the
gap and went on to win hands
down. Carolan, with 16 points
and O'Neill, with l3, were The
leading scorers. Iortet was high
man for West Virginia. His
total was IL.
