as on the attack. The inter-
ception of three passes. all in midfield,
constituted his most spectacular
achievement, but Tuffy was a tackler
extraordinary and his punting was all
to be desired.
He co-ordinated perfectly with Dem
ing when the latter place-kicked his
goal. That was the first successful
play of its kind made by the Colonials
under the regime of Pixlee, and it was
a masterpiece. The ball was so well
kicked it not only split the uprights.
but carried high and far enough to
have been good for a goal with bar Is
yards farther back.
It left the impression that Deming
will be a scoring threat anytime George
Washington advances within the
enemy's 35-yard line. Employed on
most of the Colonials' kick-offs, Dem
ings boots invariably carry close to
the goal.
A record for this section may have
been established by the Colonials in
intercepting six aerials. This was half
the number tossed by Tulsa. Leemans
snagged three and Ray Hanken, Rath-
jen and Bill Parrish, one each.
Parrish's catch, in midheld, was the
last play Of the game and Bill had
reason not to regret the end. When
tackled he fell with the ball against
the pit Of his stomach and they car
ried Bill from the field.

Roosevelt dramatically came to life
in the last quarter to score one touch
down and come within a whisker of

not to be denied and again struck

TECH BEGINS ROW

Says CatteII, Big Factor in
Tie Game, Is Too Old
for School Play.
BY Z. A. FULLER, yr.

Eastern-Tech public high
title series foot ball game last
Tuesday in which Eastern sur
prised by fighting Tech to Q
90 tie may be thrown out, it was
learned today. as result Of the
participation Of william Cattell, little
Filipino back, in the Eastern lineup.
Cattell, one of the stars Of the
game, has been barred from the East
ern team until it has been proved
whether or not he Is 81.
According to a letter sent Eastern
authorities by Tech officials, the rec
ords at Tech, where Cattell formerly
was a student, showed he was born
April 80, 1918, which would make
him Il years old. The rules Of high
school competition prohibit the use
of player who has reached the
age of 81.
Charles Hart, Eastern High princi-
pal, said today that Cattell was listed
at that school as having been born
April 80, 1914, which would make him
only 20. Hart said he had asked Cat
tell to explain the discrepancy and
the latter said that he was born April
80, 1914
However, until the player can con-
vince Eastern authorities that he's
really not yet 81 he will not be played,
Hart said. Cattell was born in Ma
Mia which Ynioht make r,rOro MT check-
ing of records somewhat difficult.

He is smart and game. I don't know
Just how his foot ball legs will stand
up. They haven't helped him any"
''I'll tell you a funny thing about
the fight game" Morgan continued.
There always is some one who can
whip the best man around-although
he may be pushover for some one
else. Few people understand just how
different styles figure. Jack Dempsey
would have had tough time with
Harry Greb-a fast, windmill type who
never lets you get set. But I know
one or two men-who could have
beaten Greb-who never would walk
into the same ring with Dempsey
I'd never let Bat Levinsky, when he
was light heavyweight champion, meet
Kid Norfolk I knew Bat never had
chance. Yet he fought something
like six even fights with Greb. If
you dig around you always can find
some one with style that will bother
a much better man"
How would Max Baer have figured
against Dempsey and Tunney in Their
primer" I asked Morgan.
"Baer," said Morgan, "is the type
of puncher that might stop anybody
But. in my opinion. he is too open for
either of these men. Baer can take
lot--but not Dempsey's left hook
to the body and his right to the
head-almost thrown together. And
he'd have a hard time ever hitting
Tunney."

POWER FOR DRIVE

Mats Are Nicely Equipped
in Every Way for Break
Toward Pennant.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

)HICAGO, June 1e.-Only a
f short jump out of first
Y place, Washington is
- ready to make a real
fight in defense of it's Ameri-
can. League championship. 1t
took the Nationals a long time
to get squared away, but the old
machine now is running at top
speed and from here on, Joe
Cronin's team is likely to be
very, very tough.
The Nationals are in fine winning
stride and If they can hold the pace
for a few more days they may be in
first place on July f. The old proverb
of base ball is that the team in first
place on firecracker day usually wins
the marbles. Usually mind you, but
not always. The American League
race is going TO be long and bitter,
but at the moment Washington seems
as good as any of the other pennant
chasers.
Washington is getting good pitch
ing. which is what counts. Monte
Weaver has won eight games and lost
! one for the season and is pitching as
Al Crowder did last year. Al Thomas
has done a fine comeback, Bob Burke
is doing some great curving and Earl
Whitehlll still is to be reckoned with.
Should Crowder by any chance, start
winning. the Nationals will be in full
| championship swing The return of
Luke Sewell, the veteran catcher, Is
certain to improve Washington
pitching and his bat also will help the
Mats attack.
Heinie Manush is setting the pace
| for Washington batters with a mark
above 400 and Young Cecil Travis is
hitting among the leaders Myer and
Kuhel also are batting over 300, but
the disappointment Of the team is
Manager Joe Cronin, who has been
slow to find his stride at the plate.
Perhaps. now that the team is near
ing the top, Cronin will shake the
worries that have bothered him all
| Spring and really do some hitting.
However, the first five teams in the
American League are SO closely
grouped that short winning streak
by any club can quickly change the
entire complexion of the race Cleve-
land has been dropping back during
| the past few days and the Boston Red
Sox have shown signs of getting under
way for charge into the thick of
| the race. New York and Detroit both
are plodding steadily, so almost any
| thing can happen in the younger
major league. But Washington is
back in the battle and the Nationals
are favorites with many veteran
| American Leaguers.

Manush Leading
Major Swatters

HEINIE MANUSH today is the
i L leading batter of the big
leagues, the Nationals husky
left fielder having shot to the
front yesterday without having
even to raise his bat.
Heinie. with his average Of 403,
went ahead when the Washington
Cleveland game was prevented by
rain and Charley Gehringer, De-
troit second baseman, who had
been on top, was able to get only
one hit in four times at bat. AS
a result Gehringer lost three per-
centage points and his average
today was an even 400.
The days proceedings also en-
abled the Nationals to gain a half
game on the league-leading
Yankees and Washington now is
only 2l2 games behind the lead
ers and Detroit, which is four
percentage points in the wake of
the YankS.
Cecil Travis, young National in
fielder. who is hitting so sensa-
tionally, still is third among the
big leagues leading batters with a
.391 average.

TINE dust of the National League
race is clearing somewhat.
Pittsburgh, due to lack of con-
sistent pitching, has dropped back
rapidly during the past week, and
the Chicago Cubs are not having the
usual good fortune on their home
field. If the Cubs cannot win a ma
jority of games during their present
stand at Wrigley Field they will be
in poor way, for the Bruins are a
bad road team.
The Cubs are another team beset
with pitching ills Lon Warneke is
having trouble winning and Guy
Bush still is nursing injuries which
keep him out of the game. None of
the other Cub pitchers is consistent
in his efforts.
! New York is pulling away from the
pack. due to good pitching and the
same sort of hurstling play that won
for Terry's team last year. Blondy
Ryan is doing a fine job at third
base and the Holy Cross alumnus is
batting .270 which is a decided i'm
provement over his sticking of last
season.
/ The presence of Gus Mancuso be-
hind the plate also has steadied the
Giants, and barring any further in
| juries, New York will be in the race
to the finish. Leroy Parmelee should
be bach soon, and then the Giants
will have their full pitching strength
The Cardinals still are very much
in the race, but of late have not
been going their best. The trade
which sent Chick Fullis to the Cards
may help, for the stocky outielder
is a good hitter and the team can
stand more power in its attack.
The Pirates and the Cubs are not
out Of the race. by any means, but
to continue in the battle they must
take an immediate brace. If the
Giants are able to win throughout
their present road trip they will be
in a good position to pull away from
the pack on their return to the Polo
| Grounds.
1t would not be surprising to see
the Giants and Washington at it
once more when the world series is
played.
