ter the Princeton interscholastic
tournament, which they had to
forego this season.
Will Lose Only Two
Only two players will be lost
from the team. They are Capt.
Charles Carver, number four
player. and Bill Wicker, a Florida
boy who plays number three.
Howison is proud of his number
one boy, Alexander CzanD Car
yer, brother of the captain. Al
though he is rather short, "Zan"
shows much promise and should
be even better next year. It was
through "zan's' influence that
Big Bill'' Tilden played at st.
Adams.
Other good players due back
are Morton Freligh, number two
man, who is a Washington boy,
and Gilbert Edison, who also lives
here.
st. Adams is rapidly earning a
splendid reputation as a tennis
school, since the only other spring
sport is baseball and the boys
who might have gone out for golf
or track devote themselves to the
net game.

Leave it to Rude" Rudy Dusek
to introduce new tricks into
wrestling and arouse the fans to
fever pitch.
In his bout with Ernie Zeller
before 1000 onlookers at the Wash
ington Auditorium last night,
Dusek appeared in long trunks
Shortly after the pair began
wrestling, Dusek was seen to rub
his hands over his trunks and
then smear the same paw over
Zeller's eyes. All this took place
when Referee Benny Bortnick had
his back turned. Zeller protested
that Dusek was using some sort
of an acid Cor maybe it was pea
nuts) but Bortnick found nothing
concealed on Dusek.
Incensed by Dusek's repeated
actions, which blinded zeller, the
fans stormed the rirgside and
threatened to lynch Rude Rudy.
They hurled missiles at him and
it was necessary for police to re-
store order. Then the match pro
ceeded and Mr.. Dusek finally
flopped Zeller with a body slam
The ending didn t please the
fans and they Missed the victor
In fact, one punched Dusek as
the latter was stepping from the
ring but the mailman made nc
comeback.

The coach has about 40 boys
to work with out of 100 entered
in the upper school. He takes
two at a time and teaches them
as much of the game as he can
before working on the next pair.
He has had a practice board in

Frisch Going Great
So Is His Ball Team
OWner Is Panied

NEW YORK, May 11.-Frank
r. Frisch, jr., who caught the
wrong Bronx express one spring
day in 1927 and wound up in
st. Louis, has won IL out of his
last 13 games as manager of the
Cardinals. Frisch is reported
to be playing some of the best
baseball of his career and he
has a hustling, spirited outfit
behind him. The two Dean
brothers-Dizzy and Daff-are
alone worth the price of ad-
mission, especially when they
get knocked out of the box in
the same game.
frankie the Flash seems to be
clicking on all nine in his first
full season as a major league
outfit.-The Fordham Ram.
Norman Church's Riskulus,
which was withdrawn from the
Kentucky Derby last Saturday
so late that the fellow who plays
the mechanical bugle on the
photograph was already looking
for Boots and Saddle" will be
a starter in the PreakneSS
Stakes at Baltimore tomorrow.
Causes Distress
When he was scratched right
under the bugle in the Derby, it
was said of Mr.. Church's colt
that he had contracted a stom-
ach ache. When I passed his
box about that time, Mr.. Church
also looked more than slightly
panied.
A stomach ache such as Risku-
1us had can cause no little dis
tress, let me tell you.
However, if Riskulus should
come out and beat Cavalcade,
High Quest, Discovery, Agrarian
and the rest of them, in the
Preakness tomorrow, the means
and groans that will well up out
Of Hollywood, Beverly Hills and
adjacent points will make the
firing at the battle of the Marne
sound like the popping of cham
pagne corks-Los Angeles papers
please copy.
I am in receipt of what you
might call a fervid telegram
from my old home town of st.
Louis, saying that Colonel Will
liam Harold Terry, who manages
our Giants, gave the sandlot
kids out there the rinky-dink
by forbidding his players to ap.
pear at some celebration or
other. It seems that some 1900
youngsters were there to see the
"Jints" and that there were 40
"Jints" to be seen.
''What kind of a man is this

Risky RiskuIus
Slated For Pre1kneSs
Terry's In Bad

Terry?" asks my correspondent.
I don't know. Damon Runyon
says Terry is the nearest thing to
"Husk" Chance that ever rolled
his uniform pants into his socks.
I never met up with Chance
until he was getting ready to
die. That was the spring he
was going to manage the White
Sox, but had to give it up and
go back to California before the
season opened.
But if my correspondent, who
is also my friend, wants me to
putOBill on the Flapjack Skillet,
as his wire indicates, he's picked
the wrong guy. I won't do it.
Bill always has treated me a
hundred per cent all right, and I
must go along with him on that
basis until he proves otherwise.
Some of my sports writing
colleagues apparently haven't
been so fortunate with the COL
onel, or have demanded more af-
liability of him than he was
willing to give, OF possibly cap
able of giving. There is no gain
saying that the boss of the
Giants is a turkey talking guy.
and that he is not always as
diplomatic in word and deed as
might be wished.
Alienates Himself
1t is equally true that he
seems to have done a pretty
thorough job of alternating
himself from the baseball writ
ers around the National League
circuit. So far the boys in Bos-
ton, Brooklyn, Chicago, st. Louis
and Cincinnati have been on
him. But given a little rope and
time, the indications are that
he soon will hang himself in
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, too.
Which is Bills own headache.
He's old enough to know what
he is doing and certainly smart
enough. What's more, he has
had ample time by now to find
out what managing a major
league ball team is all about. If
Terry wants it that way I don't
know why we writer's should
complain.
It's Bills turn at bat and he
certainly is entitled to take his
cut as he sees fit. That's a rule
of the game. It may be that
when things go wrong with his
team-as they may be starting
now-Terry will wish he had a
friend or two at court. Which
is for him to think about.-St.
Louis and Memphis papers

Dates for the Middle Atlantic
amateur golf championship, which
will be played at Hot Springs, Va,
were announced today.
The tourney will get under way
on July "a and close July 27, and
one of the greatest fields ever as
sembled for a sectional amateur
tournament is expected to com.
pete.
George P. James, president Of
the Middle Atlantic Association,
and his assistants are hard at
work, aiming to put over the
most successful championship in
the long history of the associa-
ton.
First at Hot Springs
This year also marks the first
time that the championship has
been played at Hot Springs. In
deed, the tournament has been
mostly played in Baltimore, Nor
folk, Richmond and Washington.
Chandler Harper, of Ports
mouth, Va, won the title last year
at Columbia Country Club and is
expected to defend it this year.
He will face a stronger field, as
several Southern golfers, prin-
cipally Gene Vinson and Hickman
Greene, have come to this city by
virtue of Government jobs.
Special hotel rates will be given
those golfers visiting Hot Springs
during the tournament and this
inducement is expected to in
crease the playing field.
Platt Reaches Final
Landra B. Platt advanced to the
final round of the French High
Commission Cup tournament at
Chevy Chase by defeating Gen. G.
C. Treat, 2 up. Platt carries a
10 handicap and General Treat is
handicapped at 13 strokes. Platt
awaits the winner Of the semi
final match between R. B. Gwath-
mey Q3), defending champion,
and C. Ashmead Fuller 90.
Probably more upsets are in
store as the final rounds of the
Indian Spring Country Club invi-
tation golf tournament were being
ended today.
Claude Rippy, public links ace,
provided the major upset in yes
terday's match play rounds when
he disposed of Gene Vinson, OF
Manor Club, one up, in the second
round. Rippy had trailed most OF
the distance but overhauled his
foe with birdie four on the six
teenth and took command with a
par three at the seventeenth
while the home hole was halved.
Wilson'S spectacular putting en-
abled him to stay out in front until
the sixteenth, he sinking all va

O'Brien Eliminates Pitt
Don O'Brien, the medalist from
Georgetown University, created a
mild surprise when he eliminated
Harry G.. Pitt, Manor Club, 3 and
/, in the first round. The match
was all even going to the twelfth
but Pitt, unsteady with his irons,
dropped three holes in row and
was unable to regain them.
O'Brien then eliminated Ted
Burrows, former public links king,
3 and i, in the afternoon, but he
was forced to rally after being one
down at the end of II holes. Bur-
rows putter, which had brought
him four brides on the first nine.

PUBL|C LOSING
DISLIKE FOR
BANKERS

Public temper Is now much
kinder toward bankers, Raymond
E. Jones, vice president Of the
Bank of Manhattan npany,
New York, told 1900 de ,ates at
tending the American Institute OF
Banking at the National Theater
today.
Mr.. Jones said bankers should
continue their efforts to regain
the good will of depositors and
public officials who criticized the
bankers. He adm 4 tn t
bankers have been held in bad dis
pute and added that reports that
they are declining loans to bust
ness and industry are "just half
truths"
Calls It AbSurdity
Speaking on liquidity, he said:
Gas a practical banker who is
trping to help in a period Of
stress, / am frank to say that
in my opinion the question Of
liquidity has been carried to an
abSurdity."
Citing that banks have ten
dency to take short term govern
ment bonds with almost negligible
yield, he said:
at is true that money rates
on private loans are exceedingly
low, but they are not so low that
a bank must get rid of its de-
posters funds without any
yield, or, what is even worse,
to pay q premium to get rid Of
the responsibility. To my way
Of thinking, all this is caused
by an insane desire to stay too
liquid"
Long Term Bonds
Mr.. Jones suggested that bank
ers forget about short-term Gov
eminent obligations which pay
nothing" or relatively nothing,
and get bullish on long term Gov
eminent bonds which are just as
good provided a good market is
maintained for them by the Gov
eminent.
L. A. Chambliss, assistant vice
president of the Fidelity Union
Trust Company, Newark. N. j.,
urged bankers to elimina e
politics from the Federal Reserve
system and support it as much as
possible.
He said:
"Let us get behind a program
which gives the Federal Reserve
System such legislation as it
needs to rediscOunt various
bank assets, to control openings
and closing of banks and to as
sumo the functions of the tenn
pOrary governmental agencies
which were conceived and set
up to stem the tide of panic. Let
us urge that the Federal Re-
serve System be taken out Of
politics."
Character Praised
Good character is the finest
practical quality a person can
bring to any business venture, DR..
