GRIFFITH ADDS
BOKEN To LIST

Clark Griffith, president Of the
Washington Baseball Club, added
another player to his contract list
today when he persuaded Bob
Boken, utility infielder, to sign
on the dotted line for the 1884
campaign.
A week or so ago, Boken was q
dissatisfied man because of his
contract terms. But apparently
all has been smoothed over by now
as the lanky infielder is in the
fold and quite like others of his
ball playing brothers is ready and
rarin' for the coming season.
Boken hopes to win a regular
berth somewhere in the Griffs' in.
field this year, pAgsIses3rly third
base, if trials for that position are
to be had at the Biloxi camp site
next month.
The young performer played
exceptionally we'll at three posts
in 1888, third, short and second,
and hit just as well as he
fielded. He came to the Griff-
men by the purchase route just
before the start of the training
campaign last season, having per.
formed with the Kansas City
Club of the American AsSoci-
alton during 1882.
Boken's contract is the ninth
to have been received by Presi-
dent Griffith within the last
month. The others include Ossie
Bluege, Monte Weaver, Ray Prim.

Gene Tunney, former worlds
heavyweight boxing champion,
has entered politics. At least
his hat is in the ring as he has
been reported to be gathering
support for Congress on the Dem.
ocratic ticket.
Tunney hopes to run against

He asked for a second meeting
over 12-round route and gets
that wish in Madison Square Gar

he was fighting Tony all over the
ring in those latter rounds. Lo-
catelli is positive he can reverse
the verdict, and in so doing, move
up another peg toward an inter
national bout with Baney Ross for
the real thing in titles.
Using Only Left
Locatelli was using only his left
in the first six rounds of the pre-
vious battle and ringsiders were
beginning to suspect his left let
him out. Suddenly he seemed to
come to with brand new lease on
life.
He began to throw rights with
plenty of smoke on them. Tony.
caught unawareS, went on the de.
fensive, one of the few times in his
career that he was ever known to
play it safe.
Last Fight
Canzoneri has made up his mind
that if he is defeated by the Eu-
ropean champion tonight, it will
be the last of him as ring per
former.
They say that Tony has saved
something like $3.50, 900 out of his
ring wars and that he intends to
enjoy it if the fates decide his
fighting days are over.
The wise men of Broadway nave
made Tony the favorite at odds OF

BY DANNY GILL

that certain thing which makes
champions-intestinal fortitude.
Picked to surrender his slim
lead of five pins which he
amaSsed in the opening block of
the Howard Campbell Duckpin
Sweepstakes two weeks ago, be-
cause he couldn't stand the gaff
when the going was tough,
'Hokie" put his critics to shame.
Not only have the more expe-
rienced pinspillers failed to pass
him as predicted, but "Hokie"
has increased his lead from S
to IS pins, while the positions
Of those under him have varied
like thermometer readings. On
top of all this he has suffered
an attack of appendicitis with
his goal in view.
No Laughing Matter
No laughing matter at any
time, an appendix is an eSpe-
cially sore spot for a bowler, but
Smiths doctor is freezing it and
expects tn have the youthful
sensation ready to start at the
sound of the gong tomorrow
night at Convention Hall.
Under normal conditions,
'Hokie" could almost coast into
victory, having added 692 set
to his first of 673, for a grand
total of 1865, and he's still
good bet for first place money,
appendicitis or no appendicitis.
Right back of the King Pin star
is Sam Simon, Georgetown and
G. P. o. ace, who backed his
opening 621 set with a 679 for an
even 1900 to supplant Tony
Santini.
Clarke a Treat
The smell" of first place money
has waited it's way to Astor
Clarke, who having won the first
two major tournaments OF the
year, The Washington Times Dixie
Sweepstakes and the United
States Sweepstakes, sees the pos
Sibility of q third win staring
him in the face. Clarke started
off rather slowly with a $40 setD
but was making the pins fall the
way he wanted in the second
block for a SIS set, which gives
him total of 1905.
Dutch" Newman who was max
ing a premature Garrison finish
will be out of action tomorrow
night because of a swollen knee,
which he injured Monday.
He looked to be all but out OF
the picture at the end of the first
block, when he had only a 576
set, but came back in great style
to chalk up a TIT set, one less
than Astor Clarke's District
record, to put him just two pins
behind Clarke.
Campbell Record
His games in the second block
were 156, 156, 139, 129 and 137, a
record for the Campbell, the for

He will be replaced by a for
midable star, Eddie Espey, who
will be rolling on his own al
leys tomorrow.
Frank Mischou, Mort h east
Standout, is in fifth position with
q 1914. He added a 628 to his
early 616. The defending cham
pion, Whip Litchfield. is four pins
behind Mischou, having failed to
hold his pace of 622. His last
set was 618.
Tony Santini, who was runner
up at the end of the first block,
Is in seventh place with 1887.
Tony is another who will likely
forego action tomorrow, having
an infected bowling hand. and
may have to call on George
Honey or Joe Freschi to substi-
tute, although a physician is
working on Tony in hopes of
having him in shape to start.

Poland
Sign Peace Pact
Against U.S.S.R.
French Press Praises
Japan's Aims for War
on Soviet Union

PARIS, Jan. 28.-A ten-year
"non-aggression pact was signed
on Saturday between Nazi Germany
and Fascist Poland. The pact calls
for direct negotiations on the bitter
disputes between the two powers,
but makes no reference to the from
tier questions over which the two
powers have been on the point of
war more than once. The proposals
for direct negotiations between the
two governments eliminates the
League of Nations and is another
slap in the face of that almost de-
funct body.
The pact guarantees the signatory
governments freedom of action
against other powers. Both Poland
and Germany agree not to press
each other in event one or the other
is involved in a quarrel with an
other power. At the same time the
pact does not abrogate Poland's
military alliance with France and
the Little Entente vassals of French
imperialism. This was made clear
today by both the Polish and French
governments. Since Poland's COM
mittments with France will stand in
the event of war between France
and Germany, the pact is seen here
as directed against Italy and, par
ticularly, against the Soviet Union.
