c. v. FIVE PLAYS
FINALE TONIGHT.

College football, college la
crosse, college basketball and in
tramural college boxing today
stood in the center of Washing
tons sport stage and Wed with
each other for the attention of
local followers of college athletics.
Catholic University'S grid squad
of SO candidates reported for the
second day of spring practice
out at the Brookland stadium
of the Cardinals; Maryland'S S
lacrosse heartieS announced that
tomorrow they will undertake
initial preparations for the spring
season imbued with the idea that
students at Maryland prefer la
crosse even to football; George
Washington closes its basketball
season against Delaware U. to-
night, to be played at Newark,
DEL. c. us preliminary bouts
in the intramural championship
boxing tourney will start tonight.
C. us grid men started foot
ball sessions yesterday. Head
Coach Arthur Dutch" Bergman
and his able assistants, George
Vlk, "Fod" Cotton and Eddie
La Fond. all were on hand to
look over prospects, which must
be good if they ere to carry on
where Tom Whalen and his pals
of the 1882 season left off.
Maryland's announced problem
in 1888 lacrosse is the building of
a defense. Coach Jack Faber, of
the Old Liners, has discovered
that no less than six of eight
lettermen lost to this years team
go from the defensive side of the
Terp team. The ones to be re-
rlaced include Fred Invernezzi,
star goalie of last years smooth
combination; Morris Nicholson,
Charlie May, Jack Norris, Jim
Loughlan and Fred Nordenholz,
Fred Stieber and Frank Ebaugh.
The last two narled alone were
factors of offense last season.

The Nut a Hunch

If we were a hunch bettor,
we would take some of that
money on The Nut and prob
ably play him across the board
at s to /, 3 to l and 3 to 2, be-
cause he belongs to the Warm
Springs stable and since this is
the Aqua Caliente Handicap
and Aqua Caliente means hot
water, there may be a good
omen in the coincidence.
From the prices quoted above
the odds on the remainder taper
off between 20 to l and 100 to
!, but don't forget this hunch
on The Nut.
And while our thoughts are
roaming so far out on the Pa
cific Coast, the case of the New
York Giants comes to mind.
The Giants have started
training at Los Angeles without
John McGraw, and it must
seem strange to some of the
old-timers in camp among the
players and newspaper men
too, to start a season without
the Little Napoleon of baseball.
It's the first time in 81 years
McGraw hasn't been on hand.
Well bet Travis Jackson, for
instance, and Freddy Fitzsim.
mons and even young Melvin
OFT must have a Subconscious
feeling that somewhere lurking
back in the shadows of Wrigley
Field the searching eyes of Nc
Graw are casting fleeting
glances at their every motion.
McGraw has been so much
q part of baseball that it
seems just a little singular that
a season can even get into it's
training phase without him in
the picture.

Jones on Comeback
Trail Here ThurSdnu

A new deal for popular Paul
Jones. string-bean hook scissors
master, appears in the offing at
the Washington Auditorium Thurs
day night. Having regained his
regular stride recently through a
surprising upset of that master
wrestler, Jim Mcmillan, Jones ap-
pears in a scheduled 45-minute
Semifinal to the Fred Grobmier-
Frank Judson bout on this card.
His opponent will be that alti-
tudinous and ponderous Indian
star, Jim Clinstock. Always pop
ular here, Jones skidded bit re-
Gently, losing both to Mcmillan
and Fred Grobmier. Turning the
tables on "Jarring jim" how
ever, he now is attempting to
scale the heights again.

TOSEE.
ANCIENT SPORT

Unchanged over a period of
three hundred years and every
bit as glamorous and high spirited
now as it was in the days of our
forefathers, Cherokee Indian ball
has it's inning at Central High
School stadium Friday afternoon.
In sports doubleheader staged
by the District Inaugural Enter
tainment Committee, the Cher
okees clash at $3.50 o'clock. ALL
star lacrossemen of Baltimore and
Annapolis, featuring players who
formerly beamed as All-America
collegiates, officially open the pro-
gram at 2:30.
Though exponents of one of the
oldest strictly American sports
now in existence, this marks the
first time the Cherokees have
performed before pale-faces north
of the Mason-DiXon Line.

Old Man Jackson!

And speaking of Travis Jack
son, who conjured everyone'S
respect on the various training
trip and world series games
played by the New York Ma
tional Leaguers here in Wash
tngton, he is reported to have
made a complete comeback in
so far as his legs are concerned,
and indications from the Coast
hint that Manager Bill Terry
is greatly enthused over the
3O-year-old veterans chances to
play short regularly this season.
You know Jackson has been
with the Giants even longer
than has Terry himself. The
new Giant pilot has declared it
is a new Jackson cavorting out
there on the field. Over the
winter Travis underwent an
operation on both knees to
restore legs which buckled con-
siderably in the two previous
seasons.
Not since 1880 has Travis
jackson had the speed and the
stamina which marked him as
the outstanding shortfielder of
the older league during the
current decade.
He is again speeding around
the diamond with utter aban-
don and complete confidence,
showing no signs of fear or
favor in his reconstructed
underpinning. Word has gone
forth that Jackson is the Jack
son OF nine years ago when he
played in a world series here
and that is that, my children,
for today,

Challengers Await Boxing Victor Tonight
TOW TACKLES
MARINE IN
FEATURE

While Marty Gallagher and Les
Kennedy are standing by, Bobby
Tow and Ed Prante will attempt
to eliminate each other tonight at
Portner's Arena in the eight
round windup of what has all the
earmarks of a slugging card.
For instance, Tow wants to
fight Gallagher, Prante wants to
meet Gallagher, Kennedy wants
to box Prante, Tow wants to fight
Kennedy and Nate Brown chal-
lenges the winner. So Mr.. Mann
has matched the boys and told
them to eliminate or be eliminated
while he sits back in peace and
quiet.
TOw'S Explanation
Young Tow, who wants it
understood that any fighter
would have gone down under the
blow Joe Knight hit him last
year came forth today with the
following explanation:
81 was going along fine for
three rounds. Charley Short
gave me two rounds to Knights
one. In the fight 1 attempted
to slug it out with Joe and he
clipped me back of the ear.
Not on the chin, as most of the
fans thought.
at was a terrific shot and
/ defy any heavyweight to take
it and stand uE. RingSide fans,
who sympathized with me gave
me plenty of credit for attempt
ing to get off the canvas"
Powell VS.. Compton
Pete Powell and Eddie Comp
ton, the main preliminary battle,
has the fans on edge. This is a
slugging match between two we'll
conditioned youngsters willing to
go the limit.
Powell holds win over Billy
Landers, while Compton is un-
defeated in three local starts.
Red Journee and Lloyd Phelps
tangle in the semi-windup. Jour
nee is one of the most promising
middleweights south of Baltimore.
He is a slugger with dynamite
in both hands.
Another six rounder features
Billy Strickler and Lou Brous-
sard. Broussard is out of New

Boys and Girl Golf
TOURNEY Proposed

Interest aroused in sectional
golf tournaments for boys and
girls, and the heavy attendance
at free class lessons given by
many pros for juvenile players,
has given rise to an unofficial
proposal that national boys
and girls tournament be added
to the tournament calendar.
The boys amateur champion.
ship, which has been an annual
fixture in England since 1921, is
limited to boys under 18 who never
have worked in a pro shop or who
have never caddied. The English
girls championship, which has
been played at Stoke Poges an.
nually since the date of it's
inception, antedated the boys
championship on the British tour
nament calendar by two years.

TEAM SHOWS
PEPPER IN
PRACTICE
BY GARRETT WATERS,
Times staff Correspondent.

BILOXI. Miss, Feb. 28.-It's
usually characteristic of the big
league ball players to hate train
ing like the baby trying to gulp
down a few Spoonsfuls of castor
oil.
But quite the reverse of the
situation is being displayed here
at this good old training base as
all of Manager Joe Cronin'S
athletes are showing an aptitude
towards getting into shape that's
seldom been the case in briet
conditioning seasons in the past.
Maybe the hard work hasn't
started yet and the boys are only
kidding themselves that they're
having a grand and glorious time.
The first few days are offtimes
like that.
Nevertheless plenty of spirit Is
being shown there and every
where around the spacious Biloxi
ball park every day, and Manager
Joe Cronin, for one, is confident
that it is alive and concrete
enough to last throughout the
entire grind.
The workouts by the way, are
to be speeded up as each new
day dawns. In fact, Manager
Cronin believes that his men have
advanced far enough for a little
batting practice, which, no doubt,
He'll start by Thursday or Friday
at the latest.
When this form of practice be-
gins it'll bring Earl Whitehill,
Wa1ly Stewart, General Alvin
Crowder, Alphonse Thomas and
Jack Russell to the front-pronto.
These hurlers. although veterans,
have been coming along at o
great clip since the beginning Of
drills and are right now itching
for the chance to zip 'em to the
SitterS even though most of them
will be pitchers and catchers
until the regulars arrive.
In this connection too much
can't be written about the con-
dltlonS of the quintet just named.
Ready and rarin' to go from the
start, each and every one has
trained easily, kept a sweat UP"
all the while and has finished
every drill stronger and better
than the preceding day in reality,
the group has outshaded the as.
plrlng work of the rockies. Man
ager Cronin is plenty pleased.
Spend Time With Rockies
Trainer Mike Martin, Nick
Altrock, Johnny Kerr and AL
Schacht are spending most of
their time with the rockies. Mike
k-ep5 a particular group busy at
volle..' ball. Altrock hits fly after
fly to the catchers, Cliff Bolton,
IN particular, and Luke Sewell,
Moe Berg and Bill johnson, in
general. Schacht sees to it that
a .>nstant pepper drill is on tap.
while Johnny Kerr gets his big
black bat out and hits to all
those Schacht can't accommo-
date.
! T--is sort of work has helped
to keep the rockies in the back
ground so far and it explains in
part why they've been outshaded
by the more advanced patrons,
such as Whitehill, Stewart, Grow
der. Thomas and Russell. How.
ever, Mike and the rest will have
their clientele ready in a couple
more days and plenty, no doubt,
will be heard from them when
the batting drills open and each
is given his chance to show
something" on the hill.

cluded this morning in a session de-
voted principally to federation business.

Set Next Week.

Fighting to throw off the effects o.
pneumonia so she can attend the fu-

slightly better today. physicians at
Gallinger Hospital said She has many
days in bed before her, however, and
there was Goubt whether the funeral
of the boy. killed in an automobile
accident, could be delayed until her
recovery
John Curry, II, who had been stay
ing with an uncle at $40 Second street,
was struck by a hit-and-run driver on
January 3. He died in Sibley Hospital
last Saturday of fractured skull
Although suffering from a cold IN
st. Louis. Mrs Curry started for Wash
ington when she learned of her sons
grave condition. When she arrived.
he was dead and her cold had de-
veloped into pneumonia.
The boys body is at the morgue and
officials there said he would be buried
some time next week. It appeared
certain. therefore, that Mrs. Curry
would be disappointed both in her de-
sire to be with the boy before his death
and tosattend his funeral.

JObLESS WILL GET
INCREASED RELIEF
Committee Decides to Raise
Scale to $4,000 Weekly
When Bill Passes.

The Relief Committee of the Board
of Public Welfare. on Recommendation
of Leroy A. Halbert, director of unem-
ployment relief, decided late yesterday
to increase the scale OF relief to un-
employed persons to S25,00O a week
as soon as the deficiency bill, carrying
$625,000 for unemployment relief, is
signed by the President.
This scale will be maintained until
the middle Of April when the coming
of warm weather is expected to reduce
the demands on the funds enough to
allow the scale to be cut down to about
$4,000 per week, which is the present
normal scale.
With the present number of per-
sons on the roll, this will mean an in
crease from about $S20 per week per
family Of four to $365. Last Fall the
scale started at 81, but depletion of
funds made successive cuts necessary
pay roll of approximately $1,000
was being distributed toSay. The nor
mai pay roll is $4,000 to $4,000, but
work was stopped earlier this week when
1t appeared the deficiency bill might
be held up indefinitely. When it was
passed by both Houses OF Congress.
work was resumed.
The bill must still go to conference
because Of differences between the
House and Senate, but the differences
do not relate to the $625, 900 relief item.
