Early last night, 5 to l in the
betting, and at that, practically
5 to 0, because nobody wanted
any portion of the l. Today the
recognized and qualified challen-
ger for the worlds featherweight
championship, a human buzz-saw
who almost tore the heart out of
Fiwel La Barba with a two-hand-
ed body attack through IL rounds
at the Garden last night.
The result stunned a crowd of
$4,000. They had come to pity.
They stayed to cheer this very
earnest young man Though round
after round and even to protest
pretty violently when Referee
Pete Heartley broke them out Of
clinches that were at once La
Barba's salvation and his undo
ing. They saved him from a
knockout but lost him the fight.
No upset Of recent years was
quite the equal of this. In fact,
one has to go all the way back
to the first Tunney-Dempsey fight
in Philadelphia to find its coun-
terpart. La Barba money was 3
to l in the early afternoon. It
went to 4 several hours before
the fight then to S, and finally
it went begging entirely.
Illusion Persisted
The illusion, in fact, that no
Englishman could fight persisted
right up to the opening bell and
even beyond, for Watson was
plainly nervous at the outset and
almost finished on his haircut in
the opening minutes .S play.
Once he was driven headlong
into the ropes by a couple of
left hooks and again, just before
the bell, he was down momen-
tarily under La Barba's two
handed attack. In fact, he
mightn't have survived the first
round if La Barba hadn't pushed
him through the ropes, thus Civ
ing him a "breather" he badly
needed.
But, having blown himself to
all the bad fighting in his Sys-
tenn, the EngliShman promptly
got very good. He can't punch
outside. His left is one of those
futile back-handed things. His
right is an empty push. But

TOSSERS
SCORE WIN

Teams in the vicinity Of Wash
ington staged several interesting
floor games yesterday. Over at
Alexandria, Va, for instance, the
Alexandria Observation-Disclosures
contest was one of entertainment.
Alexandria High won, 81 to 26,
but not after a torrid battle.
At Maryland Park, the Mary
land Park High five defeated Mt.
Rainier High, 80 to 13. In this
game the excellent work of Bud
Matthias stood out. This lad
totaled 10 points to lead the scor-
scoring.
Takoma Silver Spring took
Rockville into camp in a 45-to-22
fracaS at Takoma. The victory
enabled Takoma to advance to
even terms with Bethesda Chevy

FACE KEEN FOE

The Columbia Heights Blacks
face another tough Capital City
Soccer League foe in Rockville,
at Rockville, tomorrow at 2:30.
Rockville's big threats are
Steinberg and the two Candy

Blacks on their toes throughout
the game. However, the Blacks
will bank heavily on the sharp
shooting toe of Lewis, the leagues
leading scorer.
The Columbia Heights Grays

ICE-HOCKEY CROWDS
SHOW CIGAR TREND
Puck-fans Falling in Line With
Rest of Country

Regardless of mems interests
whether it be ice-hockey or opera
they have a common meeting
ground; that's cigars.
Casual surveys at the hockey
matches show the fans as enthusi-
astic about Girard cigars as the
rest of the country. Men, every
where, are turning by the hundreds
to Girard. It's growing faster than
any other cigar in America!
Girard (now a nickel) was ten
cents. But the sales reached such a
peak-and tobacco-costs came down
so low-that the price could be cut
exactly in half! There's no change
in the enjoyment, however.
At a nickel, you get the same ten
cent flavor, fragrance, and coolness
that made Girard famous. There's
no change in the famous mildness,
either! Now, as always, Girard
never gets on your nerves"
Every puff-right to the butt
duplicates every other puff. Mellow,
fragrant, and soothing! Try .

risking a string of 35 straight
basketball victories when they
collide with the Aero Eagles to-
morrow afternoon in the G. w.

them upon their visit here last
year.
On that occasion, the Eagles
nosed out the Swedes by point
in an extra-period game.
The Swedes, whose head
quarters are in Missouri, are
strictly a road club, there being
two divisions. One team tours
the West and the other hits the
East. The Eastern club. the one

The Washington Club may add

than the wellknown Ed Rommel.

who recently was made a free
agent by Manager Connie Mack.

interested, has written to Man
ager Joe Cronin about the mat
ter, leaving it up to the boy pilot
to decide whether he wants the
former Mackman or not.
Griff, in reality, does not like
to discuss the matter very much
because it is against his policy to
talk about the possible additions
of ball players by the trade, pur-
chase or pickup" route.
Yard Wide Yarn
But this Rommel yarn is some
thing that was pounced right
down upon this department with
the result Griff was accosted
point blank on the subject for his
reactions. etc.
The club prexy admits that
Rommel might be quite a help to
the Griffs this summer-particu-
larly as a relief pitcher. Also
he admits having written to Gro
min to get his views. Rommel
still has a strong arm and pos
sesSes the stamina to work nine
innings if necessary. Too. the
former Philadelphia star is plenty
smart when 1t comes to smart
baseball performers, and this fact
might help the Griffs on the
coaching line in many, many
ways.
RommeTs greatest work on the
mound last year was in that 1S-
inning game in which the AS de-
feated the Cleveland Indians, Ii

Of this contest and felt just as
strong after the grind as at the
start. He relieved Pitcher Lew
Krausse in the second inning.
Not Decided Yet
Whether the Griffs take a
chance on this valuable veteran
is something that only Prexy
Griff and Manager Joe Cronin
can decide.
But the news is at hand that
the pair are considering the pro-
position. which if agreed upon,
will see the lanky pitcher lone Of

Rommel won only one game in

La Barba through the second and
third rounds and the American
spent the rest of the evening on
his tricycle.. He went places. he
held devotedly, he never again
laid himself open by using his
right hand.
In fact, Watson, the despised
underdog. made all the fight
there was, taking punches beau
tifully and with unruffled calm; !;
then shaking them off to come
on and punch again until La
Barba' clasped him close. Fidel
finally made a stand to take the
eighth and ninth with a series
Of left hooks to the head, but
he paid the penalty in the tenth.
Fidel Doubled Up
Here, the seaman practically
closed the issue, if any, by pump
ing both hands to the body until
Fidel doubled up like an old bill
fold. The rest was a formality
except that La Barba made a
late play through the twelfth
round to score hard with leftS to
the head and body. But he was
hanging on again at the end, des.
perately hurt by body punches
that kept coming until stopped
by La Barba or the referee. Usu.

HOLDS
SLIM SERIES
ADVANTAGE

A year or so ago the Eastern
High School basketball team led
the interhigh school series race
with plenty of hope ahead that
a title might be won in the re-
naming games on schedule.
Today, a season hence, the
same situation exists even though
the Light Blue teams advantage
is not the largest in the world.
Yesterday this lead was gained
by a 31-to-24 victory over a
scrappy Roosevelt High five in a
game at the Tech gymnasium.
Whether Eastern will be able
to hold on to this top berth is
an important item bothering Lin
coin Park followers at this stage
of the race. Naturally they hope
history will repeat itself and that
Eastern will wade right through
the remainder of its opposition
for a second consecutive cham
pionship. Eastern players. to a
man, believe they will win the
remainder of their games.
But there's one team that must
be erased from the path if the
Lincoln ParkerS hope to score a
clean-cut title. That foe is Cen
tral. Unfortunately $50 Eastern
observers say Eastern does not
meet Central again before the
series is completed.
Tech Maybe?
This puts it up to one of the
other teams in the race to stop
the Mt. Pleasanters. Tech is con-
Sidered the team holding the great
est chance of turning this little
trick. Tech meets the Mt. Pleas
anters in one of the games on next
Tuesdays double-header. Unless
Coach Boyd's men win, Eastern
can only hope for a tie for first
place at the end as Central figures
to defeat its other rivals, RooSe-
velt and Western during the re-
mainder of the schedule. But to
get even this, Eastern must defeat
Tech, whom it meets a little later
on. =.
All in all it's quite a situation
as things now stand. Eastern
leads at present because it de-
feated Roosevelt yesterday while
Central idled. Central can cause
a first place deadlock again by
triumphing over Tech next week.
At the same time, if Tech defeats
Central, title aSpirationS-or a tie
for title honorS-Will have been in
etilled into the Manual Trainers.
And then if Eastern is con-
Quered-ugh!
Here's How
Eastern defeated Roosevelt yes
terday because the Rough Riders
were matched at every turn when
1t came to rough and tumble
play. Kelley's boys were ahead
for two whole periods and were
tied midway in the third quarter,
22-22, when Roosevelt put on q
sudden squirt. This situation was
quickly handled when Davis, Bay
lisS, Nolan and Company un-
leashed a squirt themselves-the
result being a six-point advantage
and the old ball game.
Techs new lineup of Billings,
Gtllem, Diversion, DAILY and
Thomas clicked unusually we'll
against Western in the second
contest on the bill. In fact, so
weA did the players perform that
Western found itself swamped
under a 36.to-4 score at the end
of the first half. A raft of sub
stitutes continued the orgy for
the Techmen after the intermiS-
sion. The final score WAS Sc to d.

BOW
To TURAN|ANS

The Wild Turanians held their
Temple Minor Duckpin League
lead by sweeping the fast-stepping
Rinaldi TailorS in hectic match.
The Turanians won the first
on a roll-off of a tie, after hav-
ing staged a characteristic rally
to gain the tie. Another Whirl-
wind final drive gave them the
second game and they STAYED off
a Rinaldi charge to take the third.
Stuart PATHS 355 helped the Tu-
ranians considerably, while Joe
Fowler's 365 for the Tailors went
for naught.
Peerless held it's second position
by handing a fighting Princess
Theater whitewashing, as Fran
els Robertson dished out 353
set and Arthur Moore, 341.
