CLOSE
CARR CAREER

PHILADELPHIA, March ID.
Bill Carr, sensational University
of Pennsylvania 400-meter Olym'
pic champion on the cinder path,
has reached the end Of his col
legiate career as a track cham
pion.
Coach Lawson Robertson, the
man who made Carr champion,
admitted that today. X-ray pic
lures of injuries that Carr Suf'
fered in an automobile accident
last night revealed the runner
had sustained multiple fractures
of both ankles and the right pei
Wis and abrasions and contusions
of the injured parts.
The diminutive Penn senior,
who ran 400 meters in 46.2 sec
onds at last years Olympic
games. was pinned under an au-
tomobile last night when it
crashed into another car as he
was en- route with a party of
friends to a dinner party at
Robertson's home.
Carr will be in the hospital
for at least a month and will re-
quire several more weeks for full
recovery.
There is still a ray of hope.
Once when Carr was a high
school student in his native Pine
Bluff, Ark, he fractured both
ankles and yet developed into a
worlds champion under the
tutelage of Robertson, Uncle
Sans Olympic coach. Carr may
equal that feat, but never as a
college runner, for he is to be
graduated this spring.
Carr first broke into national
prominence at the outdoor col
legiate championships at Berke-
ley last year when he handed a
surprise defeat to Ben Eastman,
Pacific Coast pride, in the 440-
yard run which Carr reeled off
in At seconds, tying the worlds
record.

Officially, spring hasn't arrived
but local golfers, infected by
yesterdays temperate weather,
shook the dust off their clubs
and headed for their favorite
paradises. whether they be the
municipal or club courses.
Folks may rest uneasy on ac-
count of the trying times of the
present, but the rabid golfer will
cast aside his worries and permit
himself to be lured to the tee at
the first breath of spring.
Miss Sue Elizabeth CAN'T, who
will have charge of publicity in
connection with women's golf
activities this season at the Ken
wood Country Club, today an
nounced that April has been set
as the opening date. A tourna-
ment will be held then while AL
Houghton, club pro, will give
golf instructions to those who
wish to avail themselves of this
opportunity.
Miss CAN'T also revealed that
Mrs. Roy c. Miller would be
women's golf chairman. Mrs. E.
A. Rule will be first-team captain;
Mrs. r. A. Lacey, second team
captain; Mrs. H. E. Weber, hostess
and Mrs. F. C. Meier, chairman
of the handicap committee.

Just Publicity
Stunt, Helen
Saws Of Bill

PASADENA, Cal, March 10.
There will be no feud between
big Bill Tilden and Helen Wills
Moody, king and queen respec-
lively of the tennis courts, over
Tilden's assertion that there are
100 men players in the United
States who can defeat Mrs.
Moody"
The pretty tennis ace made
that clear before she left San
Francisco to participate today in
exhibition matches here.
"Just a publicity stunt on the
part of Mr.. Tilden," she smiled.
Mrs. Moody will meet Gerald
Stratford, number two man of
Northern California, in a one-set
singles exhibition, and pair with
Lester Stoefen in a mixed doubles
against Alice Marble and Johnny
Van Ryn.
The exhibition matches here
today and tomorrow constitute
the opening of Mrs. Moody's cam
paign for another national cham
pionship.
The regal tennis star turned
aside Tilden's thrust with a smile.
Il do not care to enter into
any controversy with Mr.. Tilden
or anybody about anything"
she said. peace is too
precious" .. -.....
But are there a hundred
men," She was reminded
mot another word, please"
and she frOwned then. THAT
sort of thing is so useless.
I'm just going down for a
little fun on the courts and 1
haven't been told who will play
with me or against me. In
exhibitions of this kind / just
meet whoever wants to play
me-"
Although stunning debate with
big Bill" Mrs. Moody took issue
with Ellsworth Vines, mems ma
tional champion, who has come
out flatly against open" tourna-
ments bringing together amateur
and professional tennis players.
81 think these opens are
fine," she said. II can't see
any reason why an amateur
shouldn't play in them; 1 can
see nothing against them"

SEEK LOCAL
CROWN
By SID KATZNELL

Izzy Bregman, Alexandria's dash"
ing Ambassador of Good Will,
breezed in Washington today to
inform this department that the
Times-Herald quint of Alexandria
is just about setting the fading
basketball season ablaze.
He says:
"YOu guys don't give the Alex
andria teams a break. They are
Just as good as the Washington
outfits or maybe better. BE a
good fellow and give this kid
team a break"
AS you say Mr.. Bregman. The
Time-Herald five is considered the
strongest 115-pound team in the
State of Virginia, having won 26
games of 80 played. The four
losses chalked-up against the
newspaper laddies were admins
tered by heavier aggregations.
Buddy Zimmerman, that Dutch
basketer, is the head coach Of the
team. Buddy had to work pretty
hard before he rounded OUT the
present strong combination as
several of the players never knew
what a basketball was.
Develops Stars
After considerable patience Zim-
norman developed such stars as
John Travers, Shorty Howard,
Buddy Flinchum, Red" Florence,
"Gink" Thomas, Les Williams,
Chillie Chickcott, Joe Nowland
and Bentley Apperson.
Just how good the Alexandra
five really is was shown last week
when it reached the District A.A.U
115-pound finals. The five will
play the st. Martins for the
championship of the tournament
the latter part of next week.
ShoOls VS.. Coalmen
Both the Sholls and the Della
ware and Hudson basketball ag'
gregations are set for their battle
tonight at $3.50 o'clock at the
Boys Club gym.
Sholls are ruled a slight favor
tie due to their Al straight VIC
tories. The Coalmen have won %
consecutive contests.
The fast travelling Saranacs will
clash with the Boys Club Yorkes
in the preliminary commencing
at 7:3O o'clock.

PAUL HARRISON
TRIMS TRONSKY.
BY 85 PINS

Paul Harrison's shoulder blades
are sore today due to the con,
gratulatory back-slapping of his
many admirers for his surprise
637-to-552 triumph over Nick
Tronsky, Connecticut's mighty
man of the drives, last night.
While admittedly Tronsky was
not on his best form against the
lanky local Irish youngster, there
is no minimizing Paulie's per
formance. Facing a man who has
chalked up amazing scores for the
past three years, Harrison coolly
and deliberately got down to
work and turned out as fine a
duckpin set as has been seen in
these parts for sometime.
Paulie missed only one spare,
picked two, and registered fat
counts on his marks. Even a
doubIe-header didn't faze the tall
Arcadia star. Never was his long
lead threatened.
Tronsky was having trouble
finding the pocket. To the won
derment of the gallery he, being
deadly on singles, breezed by two
of them and failed to hit the OBJ
iect pin on a two-pinner.
1t was real st. Patrick Day
affair, as Eddie Espey, the other
local "Ould Sod" lad, snatched
the shamrock from Jack White,
500 to 543. Espey jumped in
front with the gun and was never
in danger thereafter.
It was all TronSky in the
doubles, as the New Britain Pole
banged out marks and fat counts
from start to finish for 685 set
He picked three Wo-pin breaks
to lose out on a 700. White was
way off stride, handing in a mere
SGT. Espey and Litchfield were
never in running, winning only
one game, the last, $50 to 244.
"Ouncie" Harrison took the
measure of Stuart Patti through
a thrilling final drive in Junior
preliminary. Joe Harrison, older
brother of Paul and "Ouncie, "
found White just a bit too good
for him in "open" set too, after
the scheduled matches we're COM
pleted. The New Haven "EX-
press" won three out of five de-
cisions, but all were close all the
way.

town tonight to clash with Paul

match at the Arcadia, at 9

BRAVES BANK On
HOGAN, JORDAN
FOR PUNCH

Editors NOte-The following
article on the Boston Braves is
another of a series on major league
baseball prOspectS.)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
18.-The Boston Braves. who fin
ished out of the first division in
1882 because of the lack of one
base hit, hope they have solved
their problem through the acqui-
sition of Frank c'Shanty") Hogan,
erstwhile giant catcher, and Bax-
ter Jordan, of the Baltimore
Orioles, who will play first base.
The Braves finished 006 points
behind the fourth place Brooklyn
Dodgers last year because they
won only one game in a five-game
series with the Chicago Cubs.
They lost four extra inning games
to the National League champions
when not one of their players de-
livered hit in any one of dozen
pincheS. One hit would have
meant one ball game, and one ball
game would have meant the first
division.
The problems of the Braves rest
in their pitching department and
in the infield. They need another
pitcher, and they need a second
baseman to step in when Father
Time gets in his work on Rabbit
Maranville. The Rabbit has been
around long time, but will crack
sometime.
Hopes Fly High
Manager Bill McKechnie has
high hopes and strong confidence
in Hogan. This burly Boston boy
reported to McKechnie weighing
238 pounds. just % pounds lighter
than the same time last year.
Hogan will do the bulk of the
catching for Boston, and will hit
in the middle of the batting order
where the want of a telling punch
has so long been felt.
The outfield of the Braves is
we'll established. Wallie Berger
is fixture, and so is Red Worth
ington. The latter cracked leg
last year but in early training
this spring moves around with
no trace of the injury. Randy
Moore, infielder and, outfielder,
will be around as utility man.
Arthur Hunt, lettering about for
several years, may step in and
win a place, while Yves Schulz
n1erich is another probability.
Fred Leach is just about washed
up as big league ball player.
Jordan Is StandOut
Jordan looks like a standout
at first base. The great Shires,
who once admitted his superior
lty to Hal Chase, is running a
distant second in the scramble
for the job.
At second base the venerable
Maranville is making a stand
against Albert Wright, of the
San Francisco Missions. Wright
is a flash in the field and has
been hitting hard against the
Yankees.
Flashes Form
Another San Francisco recruit,
Dick Gyselman, has shown ex-
ceptional hitting ability in train
ing games, and has a knack Of
driving curve balls into the right
center field corner. Urbanski
will start the season at shortstop,
and Gyselman. who plays third
as well as he does short, may be
shifted over. Of the entire
rookie crop, Gyselman may be
called a Standout.
The pitching staff will need a
lot of help. Socks Seibold seems
to be at the fork of the major
league roads and may do relief
duty. The starting pitchers will
be Ed Brandt, Walter Belts, Bob
Broom, Ben CantWell and Tom
Zachary. Ed Fallenstein. who
was with the Phillies a few years
ago, was picked up as a free
agent and has fine chance to
make the grade

BY RONALD THORNE

Serge Jaroff and bis Don Cos
sacks, perhaps the most popular
singing enSe mble that visits
Washington, made their annual
appearance yesterday afternoon
at Constitution Hall and received
the ovation to which their prior
sojourns in the Capital have ac-
customed them. A practically ca
pacity audience greeted the Rus
sian singers, whose military bear
ing and pep seem not to change
in the least from year to year.
They came under the local man.
agement of Mrs. Dorothy Hodg-
kin Dorsey.
The program offered yesterday
included a few numbers pre-
sented here last season, but most
of the songs were either new or
relatively unfamiliar to washing
ton audiences. AS was the case
last year, an Issay Dobrowen ar
rangement, in this instance Of
an old nonsense rhyme, entitled
my Lady" proved one of the
most enjoyable features Of the
afternoon. It was enthusiastically
applauded, but Jaroff did not Of
fer an encore.
AS usual, old songs of the Rus.
sian church made up the first
part of the program. These in.
cluded Thou Art Immortal" Ka'
talsky; I'm Memoriam," a mass
for the dead, Tchesnekoff; cat
Church." Tschaikowsky; and 20
God. Save Thy People," Tchesne'
koff.
More intriguing than the Glinka
operatic chorus which opened the
second part of the program, if not
so ambitious, were two folk songs

and the Dobrowen number, which

Gogotsky, was remarkably fine,
both in arrangement and execu-
ton.
A potpourri Of nonsense songs
served to introduce the third phase
of the program, and to remind lis
teners Of the technique of Nikita
Balieff. Rendered with fine dra-
matte effect was the stirring Cos
sack song which describes a cav
airy charge. This was arranged
by Jaroff himself.
Naturally, no Washington audi

as an encore in response to clam
