The speaker is Chester Bid,
who with Ed Blakeney will roll
Freddie Moore and Frank Mis-
chou February II and "a at Lucky
Strike and Columbia.
Bid and Blakeney won the N.
D. p. b. c. doubles in 1882 with
an 80t set. Moore and Miss Gulli
won. the 1882 mixed doubles title
with & TIA set and finished sixth
last year with 727.
Moore, who rolls consistently
good games, has seen Miss Gulli
roll even better when teamed up
with him, and he has come in for
more than his share of kidding be-
cause of it. He will be out to
show his friends that he can make
a go Of it alene.
Bid has not bowled as much this
year as he used to do when his
name was synonymous with duck
pins, but can still turn in good
scores, and his work of late shows
that he has lost none of his old
time skill. Blakeney needs little
or no introduction to the bowling
public, being No. 10 in the ma
tional rankings, while his COM
bined average in the District and
National Capital Leagues puts
him above many who seem to be
rolling better than he.
Mischou has been starring with
the Northeast Temple team and is
fifth in the Campbell Sweep
stakes with a 1924 set.
The match will be a five-game
affair and the scores Of Bid and
Moore will count as singles, also.

SOUGHT
STONE FOR
2 YEARS

Il tried to get Johnny Stone
two years ago, but couldn't
make . deal for him because
the Detroit m ana G EN- ent
wouldn't think Of any such
proposition. 1 tried again in
the winter Of 1882, but again
was turned down flat. Finally
Detroit consented, and last
winter 1 was able to swing
deal for the player, but had
to give up Goose GOsIin in the
exchange"
Thus spoke Clark Griffith,
president Of the Washington
Baseball Club, yesterday at the
weekly luncheon Of the Cosmo-
politan Club at the Carlton
Hotel.
Continued Griff:
81 rate Stone q great ball
player. It's true he didn't
have his most successful season
in 1888, but still think he
has everything and will be .
big asset to the Washington
club in the coming campaign"
With this discussion the genial
prexy handed out a bit of inter
esting information that many
Washington fans have not heard
before. And it comes at a timely
moment as these same fans will
have something to talk about
between now and March 3 when
the first guard of Griff per-
formers entrain for the Biloxi
camp site. Griff departs to-
morrow.
Asked about the prospects of
the 1884 team, Griff said if the
players showed as much spirit
as that which prevailed during
1888, another pennant would be
copped easily.
The prexy though Connie Mack,
manager of the Philadelphia AS,
made a smart move when he sold
all his stars last December. He
said:
"He probably feels that by
developing young pitchers along
with his team, they will be i'm
championship form in about
two years, when the rest Of the
team is seasoned into q real
club"
Explaining how the Griffmen
won the pennant last year, Griff
said:
eve figured the team we had
to beat was New York. There
fore we built our team towards
this aim and you know the
result. The boys did not play
super ball to win, though. In
deed, some of them fell short
Of their general standard Of
playing. But il was the spirit
and consistent plugging that
won, and'I feel this same thing
can happen again. If it does
we'll win easily"

WATER EVENT IS
At SHOREHA|N

Water polo will hit the high
spots tonight at the Shoreham
Pool when the Shoreham team en-
cages the Baltimore Y. M. C. A.
in a game beginning at 8 o'clock.
The match will be the second
between the two teams in the Dis
trict A. A. U. water polo champion
ship series. The Shoreham team
easily defeated the Washington
Canoe Club, II to 0, in the first
game of the series.
Shoreham poolmen pin their
hopes on Dave Tipp and Bob
Varela tonight. Tipp formerly
played at the University Of Penn
sylvania, and Varela at Duke.
Tipp scored all II Of Shoreham's
points against the washington
Canoe Club.
Ambassador water poloists scored
a close 7-to-6 victory over George
Washington in a see-saw battle
last night in the Ambassador pool.
Smith, of Ambassador, and
Haine and Vartia, of George
Washington, starred for their re-
spective teams. Mckenzie and
Mullens played excellent defen-
sive games for the winners and
it was largely through their ef-
forts that victory was scored.
Ambassador was ahead, 3 to /,
at the half, but after the intermis-
sion the game developed into a
see,saw affair with the result in
doubt until the final whistle.

Fighting Man Himself

It is natural, perhaps, that
Uncle Bob should get a swing
out of the leather pushers. BY
and large he has done his share
Of fighting. First he had to fight
his way West, when going out to
Missouri wasn't matter of hop
ping in a plane and waking up in
st. Louis.
Then he eft" the Indians some
and, when the time came, donned
the blue of the Union to take a
crack at the Johnny Rebs. The
Government made him an Indian
scout when that civil unpleasant
ness was ended and he continued
to follow the retreating and
vanishing redman westward.
But he is not as patient as he
once was and he is beginning to
fret over the delay in getting the
huge Italian and the butcherboy
in there to find out which is the
better man.
I suspicion that he has a few
bob, as we say in cauliflower cir
cles, bobbing on Baer and that he
wants to get some action for his
money. Every now and then I get

that refused to behave were the
start of good luck. Chase Me,
as everybody knows, burned up
the turf and other of Mrs. Bos-
ley's horses were disposed of.
Following his sudden attack Of
"Shins," Mrs. Bosley sent Chase
Me to the farm of F. Ambrose
Clark at Cooperstown, N. Y, to
recuperate under the handling of
Clark and later to have him race
in that section. This move caused
a riot among the Bosley children.
Sarah was so sad over the
absence Of the pet that her plead
ings finally won over her mother
and Chase Me was brought back
to the valley.
A Kindly Hand
Mrs. Bosley then took up his
training in person, with the re-
suit known to turf land. AS re.
lated in this column. the real
speed of Chase Me was discov-
cred by accident. To give Lord
johnson a workout little Sarah
Bosley rode Chase Me and Mrs,
Bosley herself rode Lord johnson
in a morning sprint. Chase Me
showed up his stablemate. Still,
Mrs. Bosley wasn't convinced. She
figured Lord johnson might be
ailing or wasn't reacting properly
to her handling. Possibly Sarah
was showing up her mother as a
rider. The youth-age angle. So
the next time, she rode Chase Me
against Lord johnson, with the
same result.
Put to the Drive
A winner of six straight races
and updefeated since put to the
races in the fall meeting at Havre
de Grace, Chase Me had never
been put to a drive until the
Prince George Handicap at Bowie.
Here Chase Me stamped himself
real race horse by trimming
Mate. Pomposity, Osculator, and
other handicap stars. In this race
Chase Me hooked up with Mate
at the head of the stretch. At the
sixteenth Donny Meade, who was
astride Mate, went to the bat and
Mate started to draw away.
Johnny Gilbert, who had the
leg I'm on Chase Me. reached down
and raped Chase Me smartly
with his CAD. Instead Of coming
on, Chase Me appeared to floun'
der. Mate was slowly drawing
away and Chase Me appeared a
beaten horse.
Wins By Length
This was the first time Chase
Me had ever been put to a drive
and it looked as if he lacked the
stuff. However, Johnny Gilbert,
quickly got Chase Me straight
ened out and once more he
raped Chase Me with the gad.
This time Chase Me seemed to
take one great leap and went by
Mate like he was tied. to have a
length advantage at the wire.
The whip has been used on
Chase Me only three times, says
his owner. On these occasions
he trembled in surprise and
shock, and then, being an jntelli-
gent animal. responded.
The story of Chase Me is one
of the real romances of the turf.
And those who cashed in while
he was winning his straight races
can thank a cod liver oil bottle.
When you get on Chase Me your
money is riding on kindness. cod
liver oil and horse sense-not
dope.

Did'ya ever hear Of a track
homecoming?
Well, you're going to hear OF
one, if the plans of Dorsey Grlf'
fifth, track mentor at Catholic Uni
versity, materialize.
Dorsey, you see, is quite a
sentimental chap through all his
business-like and hurry-scurry
makeup. Many things stick in
his mind and his biggest joy is
remembering people who have
either worked for him or with
him in his track endeavors ct
Catholic University.
There's the Reason
Thus, the reason for this track
homecoming. It's scheduled dur
ing the week when Catholic Uni
versity stages its big track meet
for teams in and around the
eastern sector of the country
orsey plans entertaining all
his old "boys" during that week.
He's named the occasion "trac!l
Homecoming" and it will bring
many former Catholic Univer-
sity track stars back to Catholic
University for a visit, not to for
get their presence in a miniature
track meet to be stage on the
morning of Sunday, February 25.
Vincent Fraatz, captain Of the
1888 track team, will be present,
as will Dutch" Gerth, captain in
1880. Others will be Gail Nc
Guigan, who set the 49-second rec
ord for the 440 at the Catholic
University stadium in 1882; Jack
Hickey, who won the Ryan 1000
in 1882, and johnny Lyons, 10
second, 100-yard-dash man.
In Special Event
These former stars will get to-
gether in their special" meet on
Sunday, February Is, along with
other alumni who will be inter-
ested. A brief card Of events will
be run off, with prizes to the win
ners.
The big meet on February "a is
gaining more and more headWay
when it comes to interest. Already
carload of entries has been re-
ceived, those most prominent in
cluding Washington and Lee, Viii
lanova, Temple, Virginia, Navy,
Maryland, Georgetown, Johns
Hopkins, Lafayette and William
and Mary.
The Washington chapter Of the
Catholic University Alumni will
offer an intercollegiate trophy
for local high point scorer in the
meet in which Catholic Univer-
sity, Maryland and Georgetown
will compete.
To Award Trophy
And not to be outdone, the
Senators Club, composed Of Wash
ington fraternity men, will award
a trophy to the high point scorer
among the scholastic teams.
Eastern High already has two legs
on this cup and is expected to
make a real bid for the absolute
right to it.
But that track homecoming.
Quite an event, Alumni members
agree. And they also agree with
Coach Dorsey Griffith, that the
big meet this year will be just as
interesting and entertaining as
those in past years, if not more
so, what with the various fea-
lures being lined up, the large
entry list, etc.

It's a Fair Question
When Uncle Bob "Fit"
Indians, He Just "Fit"
By BILL C0RUM

"a wire from some Of Uncle Bob's
pals and mine, saying that he
wants to know what is going to
win the derby, or which is the bet
ter team for the world series. No
doubt he just wants to know so he
can copper" my guess, for Uncle
Bob seldom backs a loser.
His Wants Are Few
His wants in regard to any fight
are few and simple. He wants to
know which is the better man.
Maybe boxing wouldn't be "a filler.
in" anywhere If we had more
fights that disclosed that plain
and simple fact.
AS a fan, uncle Bob is justified
in demanding action. Here is the
best heavyweight prizefight since
Tunney and Dempsey hung 'em
up; the only heavyweight fight
in which there is any genuine in
tereSt.
But instead Of somebody max
ing the match, what do we find?
AS uncle Bob says, nothing but a
lot of shilly-shallying and monkey
business. What are they waiting
for? For one or the other Of the
two big loogans to break an arm
or a leg? And do they think the
fans have no rights whatever in
the matter of the worlds cham
pionship?
Here the set-up is as plain as
the nose on Durante's face. The
fans want to see Baer fight the
ponderouS Preem. Carnera, at
least, is one-hundred percent pug
Hist. Fighting is his business and
to give him and those who man.
age him credit, he keeps busy
fighting.
Great Big, Lovable Kid
Baer can't seem to make up his
mind whether he wants to be the
heavyweight champion or a cho-
rus boy, and some of his antics
indicate that he is better adapted
for the latter role. AS his ex-
miSsuS announced on her arrival
in our town the other day, he is
just a great big loving boy who
tells 'em all she same thing.
He may not be interested, but
as a pugilist the larruping lothario
from Livermore is making no new
friends fast. AS a sports scribe
I am in a position to give him a
pretty straight tip on that score.
How he is progressing in the
Mascara and Lipstick League, I
wouldn't know and couldn't be
bothered finding out.
Nor do I know anybody con-
nected with Baer who can tell him
anything. He is behaving like a
guy who can be told-but not
much. It's a pity, too, because
he really can fight. My secret
guess always has been that when
the time came he would spread
Primo like the butter on buttered
toast.
And he may sharpen up his left
for light sparring in taxi and
his footwork for the tango, gal
loping from one night club to the
next. But not for fighting. He's
no Rosenbloom, even though bis
first name is the same.
So somebody may be permitting
the greatest money fight of these
times to go a'glimmering.
Anyhow. Uncle Bob, many more
happy birthdays.
