'SHOLLS ANNEX
48TH STRAIGHT
COURT GAME
BY SID KATZNELL

Is there a basketball team in
Washington that can take" the
famed Sholls toSSers into camp?
The Sholls advanced to the
finals of the Community Center
League and won their forty-eighth
consecutive game last night at
Tech gym by swapping Griffith
Consumers. 39-16. The Con-
sumers alone have beaten the
Sholls this season, doing it when
the combination was freshly
started.
SkiIIful Passing Attack
Displaying the same brand that
has made them famous, the
ShollS were ahead at the inter
mission, 20 to 9. During the
second the Consumers were lucky
to lay hands on the oval so de-
ceptive and skillful was the
champs passing attack. Sam
Hook, former Eastern High star,
and Bob Lucas, former Business
ace. were the shining lights for
the winners. Lucas made II SEN
sational points while Hook found
the hooks for eight markers, all
being long shots.
The United Typewriter Grays
surprised their staunchest sup
porters by trimming the Delaware
& Hudson, 36-33. The victims
ruled favoriteS before the battle.
This game was the preliminary to
the Sholl- Consumer game but it
stole the show as it was thrilling
throughout.
Deadlocked Six Times
So evenly matched were these
teams that the score was dead
locked no less than six times.
The coalmen led at the half, 10
to IS. Barney Kane, G. W. Frosh
flash, was the star Of the Grays'
attack, making 10 points and
playing a whale Of a defensive
game. Don CARRIER and Ralph
Beach did the best work for the
losers, scoring 10 points between
them.
Delaware g. Hudson and United
Typewriter Grays will clash again
as the former won the champion
ship Of section B of the Com
munity Center, while their rivals
were runner-up to the Sholls in
Section A. The second place
team must down its opponent
twice in order to compete in the
finals.

U. S. Prepares
For Davis Cup
Retrieve

NEW YORK, March '20.-Pre-
liminary steps in Uncle Sans
drive to regain the Davis cup will
be taken a week from today when
the first meeting of the cup COM
mittee will be held.
Vernon S. Prentice, Of New
York, named again yesterday by
the United States Lawn Tennis
Association as chairman of the
committee and also chairman Of
the selection committee. and Law
renee A. Baker, of Washington,
appointed vice-chairman of the
cup committee. will preside. Ten
tative dates for the playing Of
Davis cup ties in the North Amer"
ican zone will be ratified.
Prentice and Baker are expected
to round up the Davs cup squad
for preliminary practice and test
ing matches during the North and
South championships at Pine
hurst, N. c., the week of April 10,
and at White Sulphur Springs,
w. Va, the following week. The
United States team will meet the
Mexican aggregation in its first
match at Mexico City May 5, 6
and 7.
Ellsworth Vines, national cham
pion, probably will not play in
the American zone matches.

Marty Slight
avorite in
Tow Bout

Marty Gallagher and Bob Tow
are ready for the sound Of the
gong tonight at Portner's Arena
in what promises to be the hard
est fought heavyweight battle OF
the indoor season.
These two big fellows are Sched.
uled to travel 10 rounds. It is
a return match, Tow having de-
feated Marty at Twin City Arena
last summer.
Many are inclined to establish
the Foggy Bottom Irishman q
favorite, but there will be plenty
of Tow money. Bobby'S victory
over Ed Prante and his previous
win over Marty has made him q
big faVorite with not few fight
fans.
Matchmaker Frank Mann will
be forced to go elsewhere for op-
ponents for Tow should he step
down tonight with the duke.
Only Les Kennedy iS available
here in the heavyweight class.
Should Marty win deciSively over
Tow, Kennedy will most probably
be selected for him in his next
start.
Harry Groves, who trained
Marty for his first start against
Kennedy, which was a rough AZ
fair said today he expected Marty
to win by a knockout. He con-
tinued:
81 have watched Marty come
uu as a kid. I have never seen
him more anxious to make the
grade. His heart and soul are
in this fight. I'm positive he
will win
Young Roddy Davis, the Capital
Limited, has a gigantic task on
his hands in Bucky Taylor. This
shot goes as the Semi-windup over
an eight-round distance.
The matching of Taylor and
Davis is considered a "ten strike"
It will match the windup in action.
Four-round preliminaries to
night feature: Young Raspi VS.
Jack Lamar: Joe Maffi VS.. Buddy
Spenner and Jesse Belt VS.. Eddie
Erman.

Ne 7 AMATEURS
AFRAID -T|LDEN

DENVER, March 21.-Fear that
the supposed superiority of anna
teur tennis players over profes-
sions would prove a myth and
that the professionals would carry
off the honors led Ellsworth Vines
to refuse to consider participation
in an open tournament, Bill Til
den, ace professional, declared to-
day.
81 have just heard Mr.. Vines
statement concerning open tour
namentS," Tilden said. "Obvi-
OusIy Mr.. Vines seems to fear
that the professionals would
prove to be the drawing cards
and winners in such an event.
If the much-vaunted superior
ity of the amateurs was as
. sured, they would welcome, not
fear, the opportunity Of proving
it by playing an open cham
piOnShip.
"Mr. Vines Is entitled to
make his own personal decision
on playing, but 1 doubt If his
decision will be followed by the
other leading American anna
teurS, or meet with much ap-
prOval from the tenniS-lOving
public, who are anxious to have
settled on the court the ques-
ton of who is the greatest
player in the world, amateur
or professional"
The Washington times., 1933-03-21


In short, Pilot Joe's newest idea
is to use two pitchers per game
from now on instead of the usual
three. This means that each and
every veteran will get more work
than before and probably more
than that if he cries too much
for lack of activity.
"The fellows are far enough
advanced now to take this
chance" claims CrOnin. "Be-
sides, they've been craving for
action ever since the regulars
reported to camp. They're 60
ing to get it, believe me, and
it'll be interesting to watch
their progress"
To Work in Pairs
Pitchers Walter Stewart and
Gen. Alvin Crowder will handle
the entire game tomorrow when
the Griffs meet the Atlanta
Crackers for the fourth time this
spring. Another pair will be
groomed for action Friday when
the Cleveland Indians are met,
and still another duo will get
the call when the same Indians
are played on Saturday. AS yet
Manager Cronin hasn't decided
definitely on his assignments, but
he'll pick from Earl Whitehill,
Monte Weaver, Jack Russell, and
possibly Alphonse Thomas. Ed
die Linke and Bud Thomas, the
sensational youngsters, will also
be considered, but they will, no
doubt, be pitted against the Bir-
mingham BaronS next Sunday
when that town is reached.
Speaking of the youngsters,
Johnny Burrows, the Chicago
High School boy, will get trial
in the minor leagues this spring.
President Clark Griffith and
Manager Joe Cronin came to this
decision last night while chinning
over the prospects Of the rockies
in camp. Burrows will be
shipped to Chattanooga and may
pitch against the Griffmen there
April 1.
ImpresSes Chiefs
Burrows, it seems, has made
quite an impression on both
Griff and Cronin since his arrival
in camp. Although he is far from
being a major league hurler at
this early stage of his career, the
two boss-men of the Griffmen
vision great possibilities fol- the
lad with a year or so of sea-
soning in the minor leagues,
Thus, their decision to give him

In Miami, they say Del hasn't

Yea, when BisSonette came

but to no avail, and finally it
was decided to send Bissonette
on to New York to undergo an
operation.
In New York, deft hands

justed the tendons and sewed

him off the heel until it should

Lost 80 Pounds

Time and again he was punc-
tured to permit the poison to
drain from his system and
gradually his frame became
emaciated to the point where
It was feared he might not be
able to successfully fight off the
devastating toxin. At one time
he was as much as so pounds
u11derweight.
But his great spirit stood him
in good stead and ultimately
the poison commenced to re-
cede. He regained much Of
his glow of health and was
finally discharged from the hos
pital with instructions to take
the rest of the season off and
get out In the sunshine and
fresh air as much as possible.
And so he reported this spring
to the new Dodger Camp at
Coral Gables. hardly Miami.
He is practicing every day with
the others, but he is not getting
into the games.
Those who have seen him
in the dreSsing-room declare
there are deep, purple scars
running the length Of his leg
from the thigh to the ankle
and that the skin which has
healed over them is very thin
and ugly looking, leaving a

At the calf the scar is an
inch wide and a quarter OF
an inch deep. At the heel,
wheRe the trouble started, there
is a depression in the skin
large enough to bury your
thumb, and the skin there is
angry and raw.
It does appear that doing
that favor for the newspaper
photographer was a costly ges-
ture, and yet we never knew a
ball player who wasn't consid-
crate Of the newspaper boys.

No, we never know our luck

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Strength
in commodity markets today aided
the stock market in 1 to point
advance. Trading was active for
time, but it quieted down later.
The cotton and grain markets de-
tracted attention from stocks, but
prices held all around. Cotton fu-
lures we're whirled up $3.50 to $3.50
a bale in feverish trading inspired
by the announcement the govern
ment would loan cotton farmers 10
cents a pound on their cotton if
they conformed with acreage re-
duction plans.
Buoyancy in cotton was carried
over to other commodity markets.
Wheat steadily rose> and as the
stock market closed, it was at new
highs for the day-gains Of cents
bushel over the previous close.
Silver WhirIed Up
Other grains made corresponding
gains. Silver was whirled up and
the spot price here made new high
for the year at 4015 cents an ounce,
up Is cents for the day.
Bonds strengthened with stocks,
although U. S. government issues
were mixed The dollar opened
slightly firmer. but it eased off later.
Gold made a new high since Sept.
On 1r-i+I, Tho +roo c,,,-x, r,,,O+o ~ cof DC
Gold mining issues moved up on
that rise, and mining shares gen.
orally were buoyant until near the
close.
In the last few minutes of trad
ing considerable profit-taking re-
duced gains all around. Case, which
had reached 721a, up 29s, lost near
ly all the rise. Wet stocks, early
features with gains running above
points, lost part Of their rise. The
same was true in other groups.
Mining Issues Strong
At the highs of the day, Air Re
duction touched 1t01a, up Az and a
new high; Allied Chemical 1884,, up
2; Dupont 1871, up 2. Other chem
ical issues were higher, including
the sulphur issues.
National Lead touched 100, up
314 and a new high for the year.
Other special issues to show gains
of l to points included Celanese,
New York Shipbuilding, Owens Illi-
noic Glass and RUr-rOughS Adding
Machine.
Mining issues were in demand
most of the session. The rise in
silver metal brought buying into
companies that would profit by
higher silver prices. Federal Min
ing and Smelling jumped 10 points
to 90, while American Smelling rose
more than 2 points; international
Silver and U. S. Smelling 5.
