DIVIDE SPORT
HONORS
BY SID KATZNELL

With the interhigh sports sea
son on its deathbed, we find
Eastern and Central tied for the
honor of coping the most cham
pionShips.
Eastern won the basketball and
baseball crowns while Central cap
tured football and tennis titles.
Although tennis is not considered
a major sport among the high
school students, championships in
this branch Of sport are eagerly
sought.
Eastern's baseball team was
really and truly an outstanding
combination, winning all its inter
high games with ease.
Sullivan Valuable
Joe Sullivan, ace southpaw
pitcher, who hurled all the inter
high contests, deserves consider
able credit. His teammates

as the most valuable player on
the team.
Centrars eleven proved to be a
tower of strength both in inter
high competition and against
outside opponents.
Such jewels as Frank Kocsis,
Bill Bryant, Lou Richardson,
Don Dunlap and Leonard De
Lisio studded its lineup.
Large Crowd Expected
A large crowd is expected to
attend the annual inter-high
field and track meet tomorrow,
which will commence at $3.50 p.
m. at Central Stadium.
"Hap" Hardell's Tech clan is
the overwhelming favorite and
Eastern selected to finish second.
It will be a merry battle between
Western, Roosevelt and Central
for third honors.

Tech Teachers
Win Game But
Lose Dignity
'Six innings are enough!"

So cried members of Eastern
and Tech faculties yesterday as
they staged their annual comedy
of errors, 'Fumbling Pedagogues. I"
This years show was a bowling
success as Tech finally won, II to
9. although it required two of
Eastern's stars to make a game at
all. The Technicians, or whatever
they are called. appeared on the
scene minus two players, and Prin.
cipal Hart loaned two Easternites
to the visiting peds in order that
some 1,2Co students might be en-
tertained.
The Tech players, aided and
abetted by the two Eastern stars,
had a big fourth inning, when they
scored five runs. Tech wanted to
call it a day then and there, since
they were on top, 8 to Z, but the
crowd would have none of that.
When both teams failed to score
in the sixth, due to physical weak
ness, everybody decided it was bet
ter to cease hostilities.

MOMENT
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Changing their minds at the
eleventh hour, Harry G. Pitt,
Manor Club, and Roger S. Pea
cock, Indian Spring Club, will
be on the firing line for today's
qualifying rounds in the annual
Baltimore Country Club invita-
ton golf tournament over the
Five Farms course.
Pitt, winner Of the event for
the past three years, had not in
tended to enter but reversed his
decision. Peacock also had de-
cided not to take part but came
through with a post entry, like
Pitt.
Post entries have sweIed the
qualifying field to 135 but Pitt
rates a strong favorite. He is
right at home over that Five
Farms course where he scored a
notable victory in the 1882 tour
nament, Max Marston and Chris
Brinke being among his victims.
Betschler Jinxes Houghton
This Charley Betschler, Rodgers
Forge pro, is something of a jinx
to AL Houghton, of Kenwood.
Three years ago, BetSchler stood
three down to Houghton after is
holes in the match play champion
ship of the Middle Atlantic P. G.
A. at Woodmont. The Baltimor-
can put on a dynamic finish with
three brides to square the match
and then scored an eagle deuce
on the first extra hole to gain
the decision.
The pair hadn't faced again un-
til yesterday when they crossed
niblicks in the final of the match
play championship over the Hillen-
dale course, Baltimore. Once
more, Betschler trailed all the
way and stood two down at the
thirty-fourth. He holed a 10-footer
for a birdie three here to even
the battle, forged ahead with a
birdie two at the thirty-fifth and
won the match with a half at the
par 4 final hole, each getting a S.
Both shot better golf in the
afternoon round, BetSchler card
ing 72 to Houghton's 70. In the
morning, Houghton tailed 76 with
Betschler taking 10. Par for the
course is 10.

COR|'.U||..|'M|' / !, J
~ CoMMENTO
By BILL CORUM

NEW YORK, May 24.-Just a
week ago I ran a little coupon
here, offering a couple of ring
side seats for the Carnera-Baer
bout to the client who could
come closest to guessing the out
come Of the Ross-McLarnin af-
fair. And right back came 1904
replies signed on the dotted line,
and this does not count the en-
velopes in which some Of the
boys had forwarded half dozen
different guesSeS with an eye to
cinching it.
For example, one lad guessed
on one coupon that McLarnin
would knock Ross out in the
sixth round, and on the other
that Ross wGE.G knock McLarnin
out in the eighth. He must have
thought Barney and Jim were
going to fight a doubleheader.
But even without these sure
thing players there were, as I
say, 1904 forecasts on the re-
suit Of the fight, divided as fol-
lows:
1IcLarnin to score a knockout, 1888
McLarnin to win on points 292
Ross to score q knockout .... 218
Ross to win on points ....... 3O9
Draw '......'..'..'.. 90
Which, it seems to me, gives
as true an insight into what
the fans think about the fight
as anything possibly could. And
the fans, as usual, have it
figured mighty close to the way
it really figures-at least on
paper.
See K. o. For Jimmy
Whereas the lightweight title
holder receives 800 votes if the
bout goes the limit, Jimmy gets
only 392. But if it ends in a
Knockout. well, then practic-
ally all of them think Jim will
deliver the kayo blow. Or, in
other words, they agree with
my original opinion on the out
come: They like Ross until Jim
tags him.
Still in 1904 votes nobody
may have hit on the right min
ute of the right round in which
the bout will end, or the exact
decision if it goes the limit.
So perhaps you who failed to
ballot on the fight coupon
would like to cast a vote on
the outcome. If so, here's
your chance.
In case there should be a tie
1t is only natural and fair that
the chap who guesses right first
should get the tickets. I have
put the coupons right back in
their original envelopes and if
there is a tie the postmark will
decide the winner.
But there is a strong posi-
bility that nobody has yet hit
the nail exactly on the head, in
which case here's your chance
to do so. Check, clip and mail
this to me in care of the Eve
