Managers job May
Keep Johnson Busy
~ At Jersey City

"1t's news to me. But 1
wouldn't mind taking a crack
at managing the club, if they
want me-"
These were Walter Johnson's
words when asked today in re-
CARDS to the rumors linking
him with the management of
the Jersey City Club, of the
International League.
"Jersey City is q great base
bah town and I'd like to go
there" he said. "But as yet
I've not been informed that I'm
being considered"
Jersey club officials are ex-
pected to hold a very important
meeting in the next day or so
to decide upon a manager.
Johnson and the baseball popu-
lace should know something
definite by then. .--L---A-..--.

EAGLES CHANGE
NAME To AERO

There's one sure thing about
it, the French Eagles won't lose
another basketball game this sea-
son. The reasons are easily ex-
planned.
william Which, of the Aero
Auto Company, is the new backer
of the team which will be known
in the future as the Aero-Eagles.
Thus, yesterdays game with the
Passon Pros was the last defeat
of the season for the old French
Eagles. About $50 witnessed the
Philadelphia combination score a
81 to % victory at the George
Washington University gym
nasium.
The French-Eagles were never
in the running as the Passions
grabbed a comfortable lead at
the outset and held it throughout
the game. A last minute squirt
by the FrenchS availed nothing as
the Passions lead proved too much
to overcome. Chesin, Sirkin, apd
Lautman played well for the win
ners while Sweeney and thinner.
man were best for the Eagles.
The LuStine Nicholson Five
faired a little better in it's game
with the Fleetwing quint, Of
Gettysburg, Pa, at the Hyattsville
Armory. Led by Bozie Berger
the Motormen turned in a 32-to-23
triumph. Berger scored five
baskets for 10 points.

WALL POTENT
/! RIVAL Of
GULL|
BY GINO SINH

Now that the star men duck
pin-spillers have been through
two of their major Sweepstakes,
the spotlight focuses on the first
nationally important event Of the
year for the girls, the second
annual Washington Times Dixie
Sweepstakes, which will be rolled
here Saturday, January 81.
From all indications every top
notch pinette of the District,
Maryland and Virginia will be on
hand. There is possibility that
several girls may come UP from
the Carolinas and Georgia. Phila-
delphia may also have an entry.
Among the newcomers will be a
particular powerful representa-
tion from Norfolk, which in
response to the stimulus of the
national tournament Is turning
out brilliant feminine performers.
Real Rival of GuIli
One of them looms with great
brilliance on the duckpin horizon
hs a real rival of Lorraine Gulli.
She is Katherine Wall.
The feat which brought her
Into national prominence was a
women'S world record 424 set last
March. She has been Norfolk's S
Gtandout female maple-shooter for
several years.
Miss Walls current averages
are sensational. She is pounding
the pins at a 10 clip in two
leagues and is doing even better
in special matches, many against
men.
She proved her mettle recently
when she rolled in a special
sweepstakes with an entry in the
u. S. Stakes as a prize. She
didn't win, but it showed that
she isn't afraid to buck up
against the strongest competition
Mary Stapleton, who is fond Of
marathon bowling. rates next to
Miss Wall. She finished third in
Blick's 25-game marathon last
year with nearly a 1O2 average.
However, she was first to com
plete her IS games. Used to roll
ing many games during one day.
the nine-game Dixie test would
be just romp for her.
Keel, Wessman Expected
Dorothy Keel and Frances
wessman are two other Twin
City stars who are expected to
toe the foul line when the whistle
blows at the Lucky Strike two
weeks hence. Both are carrying
averages around the los. mark.
With Miss Wall they bowl on
the Burk & Co., team, national
champions. This team of girls
is leading Health Center League,
in which all the other teams are
made UP Of men. Ida Simmons
and Nora Lins are the other two
members o. the aggregation. They,
too, are banging the naples for
averages around the 105 mark
and are likely to shoot in the
Dixie.
The Dixie is open to all female
bowlers of the country. Entry fee
is $3.50, including games.

don't get the guillotine are Hack
Wilson and Dazzy Vance. The
former may be offered as low as
$4,000 on what formerly was a
$4,000 contract. The latter will
come down from $4,000 to what
ever he'll take, which, after view
ing the Dodgers first bid, is
liable to be poison. 49,.
It will be that way, in fact, all
along the line and before they get
through the sterling young men
will be forced to accept privatlons
rct strictly in keeping with their
life of ease and refinement.
In fact, many of them may even
be forced to accept just about
what they are worth.

 Miss Beech then played the king of diamonds, and followed with the queen of diamonds. which East trumped with the jaci; of clubs.
 If you were playing the hand. would you. overtrump in dummy with the king? If so, your contract would be defeated because as soon as you lead clubs East will be in the lead, will return a spade and West will be able to get in one or his small trump.
 The correct play as made by Miss Beech was to discard the queen of spades from dummy, and now re- gardless of what East led, he could not make more than his ace of clubs.
