JOE HARRISON
ROLLS ALONG

Anyone waiting for Joe Harri-
son to slump might just as well
abandon that idea. For the ace
of the bowling Harrisons is get
ting better, if anything.
Last night he contributed games
of 1856. 40 and 145 for a 439
set, which gave him the average
lead in the District League, held
earlier this year by his brother
Paul and lately by the popular
Baltimorean, Ray Won Dreele.
j. Henry HiSer'S Hyattsville
team of the District League cut
the lead of the Occidental Res
taurant when it took two out Of
three games from the leaders.
The second place King Pin team
is now but two games out Of first
place, having taken two from
Georgetown Recreation.
Other good scores in the Dis
trict League were AL Woods 1868;
Dutch" Weidman's 408 set and
$50 game; Johnny Anderson's
372; Ollie Pacini's 1888; George
Honey's $50; Russell Spilman's

Picard missed qualifying for
the 1888 open by four strokes in
the sectional trials at the Manor
Country Club on May Is last
year. His putter betrayed him
then and one local pro was
overheard to say:
CALLED BEST HEREABOUTS
"There's the best pro golfer
in this section. And to think
he fails to qualify for the
OPEN"
Picard possesses a sound golf
swing, while his driving is
straight, though not too long. He
also hits his. iron shots with
finesse and his putting, except
for an occasional lapse such as
suffered at Manor last May, is
sound.
He impressed observers in the
Masters tourney at Augusta, al
though his 298 score placed him
outside the money. Picard start
ed in whirlwind style at Augusta
with a Subpar II. but his game
begged in subsequent rounds.
Horton Smith, winner of the
Masters tourney, and Harry
Cooper, and George Dunlap, ma
tional amateur champion, tied for
the runner-up position in the
North and South with 286 each,
Dunlap's showing was anticipated
because he lives on the PinehurSt
courses during the winter.

Here's a fighter for you. Earl
would rather win every ball
game he pitches than eat. He's
that type of performer. But
what a grand fellow with it all!
Possesses a keen sense OF
humor, let's out one Of the most
hearty laughs you've ever heard,
likes people, enjoys cards and
golf, but keeps baseball, and
baseball only, in his mind, once
a uniform is donned.
Earl is easily the hardest
worker of his teammates when
in training. Four or five laps
around the outfield is nothing
to him when it comes to
strengthening his wind, while
action every moment he's on
the ball field is his motto while
getting into complete shape.
Whitehill came to the Griff,
men in the trade with the De-
troit Tigers which saw Fred
Marberry go to the latter team.
He won % games for the Griffs

IT, S. WOMEN'S STAKES ORA VS. STAR FIEL]
GETS
CALL TOFACE
TRAINERS
BY SID KATZNELL

After carefully looking over his
mound corps, Cliff Moore, base
ball coach of Western High,
finally selected Ed Loveless, tall
right handler, to hurl against the
National Training School tomor-
row at 2 p. m. on the latter's
diamond. This game inaugurates
the 1884 season for both combina-
tions.
Ed Crandall, youthful mentor,
Of the Trainers, has not definitely
decided who he is going to pitch
against Western.
Two Good HurIers
He has two competent mounds
men to pick from in Francis Rus
sell and Eddie Hedrick. Both
saw considerable service on the
hill last year. Clarence Merry
man, football star, is sure to don
the mask for the Trainers, as he
is the only veteran catcher avail
able.
Frank ("Huck") Wynn has been
assigned to do the backStopping
for the high school nine. Wynn
supplants Bill Wood, last years
regular.
Cliff Moore said Wynn would
have been regular catcher last sea-
son had he remained eligible.
First String Infield
Moore plans to start his first
string infield of Reds" Mullock,
Lloyd Schneider, Jimmy Corcoran,
and Francis ("Chee Chee") De
Stephan.
He is doubtful who is going to
start in left field, but will use Joe
Brennan and Bill Edmonston in
center and right, respectively.
Other high and prep school
teams will mark time until after
the holidays, with the exception Of
a few light drills.

at all but French. AS If it was
my fault that Lefty's old man
made the fatal error of being
"Frenchy" O'Doul instead Of
Joseph Patrick.
And furthermore, if he feels
that he must pick out some
head for mine to bump want
a softer one than Gallico's.
That's a mismatch. Let me dig
up a nice, soft, fluffy blonde
head somewhere and then write
me another letter. Special de-
livery!
Great Nudist No Menace
But all these things come
under the heading of clean fun,
although exceedingly boring at
times, compared to the spectacle
a nation makes of itself in bar
ring a movie as harmless as
'"The Prize Fighter and the
Lady," If there was a propa-
ganda in it, as in that thrilling
magazine story TO the Van
quished" there might be at least
a semblance Of sense to the ban.
Minister Of Propaganda Goe-
belS can take our word for it
that there is no real harm in
the great nudist of Lake Tahoe,
Cal. He might make the hearts
Of some of those comely little
German frauleins go pitter-pat-
ter, but he is positively no men,
ace otherwise.
With the boxing gloves on he
may be a menace. we'll know
more about that when he is
through with Carnera, or vice
versa, but as is he is just a great
big lovable, sun-tanned sheik Of
the wide open spaces. Did I say
lovable? The word I wanted
was loving.
True enough, Germany's best
heavyweight to date, Max
Schmeling, found him other
wise in the Yankee Stadium one
warm evening last summer.
schmeling's Intentions
But neither Minister Goebels
nor Schmeling, nor even Herr
Hitler himself should hold that
against him. Herr Schmeling'S
intentions toward Baer were not
of the best that evening, as one
sharp, jarring right hand that
shook the giant Californian
from end to end gave proof.
That in the end the intense
heat and a right-hand clout
that came all the way from
China via Western Union or
Postal, I forget which, COM
pletely undid Herr Schmeling,
causing him to bag at the
knees and come open at the
seams, should not be taken too
seriously. Maybe Baer was
only fooling.
Besides it is a rule of the
game that a prizefighter is in
there On his own, and we have
a quaint way in this country
of saying-not may be best
German, or the best French
man, or the best italian win
but may the best man win.

ing, but, take it from the Rabbit,
they're just wasting their tears,
Why he's good for years yet.
He lay there grinning-a short
stocky figure in starched hospital
white. His left leg, shattered as he
crashed into Catcher Kies stealing
home in the practice game be
tween the Braves and the Yankees
Wednesday, was stretched out
faulty in it's bandaged cast by
pulled weights.
The room was filled with flow
ers and people. Mrs. Maranville
sat beside him. The others were
players from the training camps
Of the Braves and Yanks. Big,
raWboned Tony Lazzari blubbered,
and his cheeks were wet. The
Rabbit wisecracked between puffs
on a cigaret to cheer the boys up.
"FOrget it." he grinned. "I've
been through worse than this.
While you're out there sweat
ing in the sun I'll be getting a
swell vacation. I'll be in the
old lineup to help you boys out
in the Fourth of July double
header when the Braves will be
up to their neck in the PEN
nant race. Maybe before then.
This talk about my being
through is just a lot of Florida
cOcOanutS."
Doctor Sees Hope
DR.. Prescott LIE Breton, who set
the broken leg bones, said he
saw no reason why Maranville
shouldn't pull through to re.
sumo his game with flying colors.
Both bones of the lower leg were
snapped in two but DR.. Breton
said they were simple transverse
fractures and that no complica
tions were expected.
'MaranvilIe is in excellent
physical condition." he said.
"His diet has been perfect. His
type reacts well to treatment.
He should be hObbling around
ON crutches in two weeks or SO,
if all goes well, and 1 shouldn't
be surprised to see him back in
uniform three months from
now"
Maranville went under the ethel
a second time at 4:35 yesterday
afternoon to have a sawtootE
break in the shin bone reset.
The operation was successful
and the bone was replaced in per
feet alignment, the surgeon said.

MISS BUTLER
To DEFEND
CROWN
BY DANNY GILL

Before the echoes of the shout
ing and the tumult of the seventh
annual bowling tournament of the
National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress die, George L. Isemann, Sec
retary of N. D. P. B. c.. will have
another national championship
tournament going in full blast.
For on April 9, the United
States Sweepstakes for Women
will be held at Bill Woods Lucky
Strike. There will be three blocks
of three games each. Starting
times will be two, four and eight
o'clock.
Expect rs Entered
Isemann expects at least 25 Of
the country's fair sharpshooterS
to take part. Entry fee is $40.
The first time it was held, the
crown went to Lorraine GULL, who
usually manages to win such
things, and last year Billie Butler
won the title, which helped her
win the Number 3 national
rating.
When Miss GULL won in 1882, a.
total of 1850 was enough, but Bill
lie had to roll 1,068 to earn the
title last year. The runner up was
Miss GULL, who had 1862. Mar.
garet Leaman Lynn and Lucille
Young tied for third with zoos,
and Lillian Frisk, of Hartford,
Conn, and Rose Jacobs, of BoS-
ton, Mass, tied for fifth place
with 981.
Rolled 367, 357, 344
In winning, Billie Butler had
sets of 367, 357 and 344, while
Miss Gulli's sets the same year
were 315, $50 and 367.
Seven women have already en-.
tered. They are Ida Simmons,
Norfolk's Harlowesque blonde;
Dorothy O'Brien, also of Norfolk;
Washington's own Billie Butler:
Margaret Galloway and Lotta
Janowitz, of Baltimore, and Helen
Randlett and Lois Clopton, Of
Richmond.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Ger.
many has banned the moving
picture, ''The Prize-Fighter and
the Lady" because Max Baer, a
fighter who plays a part in it,
IS a Jew. That's pretty silly,
isn't it? And sillier still when
you recall that there is also
much German blood in Baer.
One of the things Of which
this column always has steered
clear is discussion pertaining to
race and religion. In addition
to every human being having
the clear right to be proud of
his race and true to his faith,
such discussions are particularly
inappropriate on q sports page.
Sports and the spirit of fair
play, which speak a universal
language and produce a uni
versal thrill, should be free Of
hatred and bigotry. If a great
nation such as Germany must
be protected from the sight Of
o handsome Jewish athlete, who,
so far as this picture is concern
ing, only looks like a great
fighter in make-believe, what
will happen, when, as host to
the next OlympicS, it sees some
Jewish lad step out and prove
himself the best fighter, wrestler,
runner, skater, or whatever?
OF all the letters that come
to my desk the only ones I do
not read are those beginning on
some such note as this: "You
do not think Primo Camera can
fight because he is an Italian"
or Gin your dirty article in to-
nights paper, you do not give
Barney Ross credit for being a
great champion because he is a
jew" or " you got a great kick
out of seeing McLarnin licked
because he is an IriShman,
didn't you?" or "of course, Max
Schmeling couldn't ever please
you because he is German" and
so on.
Why Waste Stamp?
The reason I never read past
the first line or so of such
letters before chucking them
into the wastebasket is that I
could be that narrow-minded.
And if the writer really believes
such tripe, I am at a loss to
understand how he could want
any part Of me, ever to the
point Of wasting stamp writ
ing me a letter.
So I do not think Primo a
great champion because he is
Italian. But think Bill Petrolle
and Tony Canzoneri are grand
3ighterS-as good as I ever saw
because they are Italian. And
Lou Little, who is of Italian
extraction, Is my pick for the
country's first football coach.
But you see for yourself how
silly the whole thing grows when
you stop to consider it even for
a minute. Almost as goofy as
the goofy Irishman, who was
going to catch me and Calico
and bump our heads together,
because Frank O'Doul chanced
to tell me that he wasn't Irish

GIRL ENDS LIFE
IN RIVER

Sobbing Historically about
Glove" a young, attractive, I'M
identified woman, plunged to her
death early today by leaping from
the new Benning Bridge into the
Anacostia River.
Laborers, working nearby, made
frantic but fruitless efforts to
save her.
Harbor police recovered the
body.
Witnesses told police they saw
the girl get out of an automobile,
driven by young man, about 300
yards from the south end of the
bridge. The young woman pro-
ceeded along the bridge and
climbed the railing. Workmen
rushed to the railing and pulled
her down. She seemed momen-
tarily pacified and walked south
along the bridge.
The girl suddenly mounted the
railing again, poised second and
shouted:
"Have you ever been in
love-"
Then she jumped.
The woman was described by
witnesses as being about 80 years
old, tall and slender. An attempt
is being made to locate the car
which brought her to the bridge.
