ShdrkeyPicked
Over Winston
Tonight

BOS N, Nov. 22.-Jack
sharkey, former champion of the
world, who hit the comeback"
trail two years ago to find 1t
much too tough, will try it again
tonight at Boston Garden in a
10-round bout with Eddie "Un'
known" Winston, Hartford
Comm Negro. sharkey was a
6-5 favorite.
The fight-the first for the ex.
sailor since he was beaten by
King Levinsky and Primo Car
nera; he also received a boxing
lesson from Tommy Loughran-
was attracting unusual interest
and 10000 or more spectators
were expected to turn out to see
Sharkey in his latest attempt to
regain his long lost laurelS.
Sharkey looked in good ply
sical condition when he concluded
six weeks of intensive training
yesterday. Although slow Of foot,
that left hand which carried him
to eminence several years ago
was still evident as he polished
off two Sparring partners. He
tipped the scales this side OF
200 pounds.
Mentally, he was the typical
Sharkey of old yelling out com
mands to his handlers, who sour
ried about at his orders. He ap.
peared determined to make good
his boast that he will overtake
Joe Louis, the Detroit bomber. "
incidentally, his challenge was
accepted by Louis in Providence
r. l., several days ago.
The Squire" was drawing no

The Washington times., 1935-11-22

A few last-minute trades were
hurriedly transacted as the exodus
of baseball magnates began.
The st. Louis Cardinals sent
"Phidgety" Phil Collins, veteran
pitcher, to Columbus, and switched
Outfielder Jim Moore from Colum
bus to Knoxville.
The Cincinnati Reds signed Hub
Walker, Toledo outfielder. who hit
1888 in the American Association
last year.
Hank SEVERED, veteran catcher
formerly of the Braves, Yankees
and Senators, signed contract
with Cincinnati and will manage
team for the Reds either in the
Piedmont or Southeastern League
Cleveland sold Outfielder Abe
Wright to Baltimore, and Houston
traded Howard Parker, a right
hand pitcher, to Bloomington, OF
the Three Eye League, for Justin
Stein, a second baSeman.
The Pirates and the cash hun
cry Phillies moved to the frort
today with a deal that will put
Catcher AL Todd in a Pirate uni
form and send Catcher Bill Grace
Claude Passeau, a young right
hand pitcher from Des Moines
and a bundle Of cash to the Phils
The said bundle has been esti
mated at $4,000, which might be
reasonably accurate in view of the
fact the Phils had nerve enough
to demand 100000 in cash for Al
as a starter.
Bill Terry went home happy
after assuring everybody he got
what he wanted and was all SET
for next year. But Bill didn't say
positively, and some of the doubt
erS think he still may have a few
irons in the fire.
Whitehead Certain
In any event, it seems certain
he got Burgess Whitehead in eX
change for Bud Parmelee, as re
ported yesterday and today il
seems equally probable he landed
first baseman Johnny Mize from
the Cardinal farm chain.
1t is understood Bill will give
plenty of dough for Mize on ar
optional basis. If the lad makes
good, Bill will keep him. if not
he'll return him with his com
pliments and will Mr.. Branch
Hickey kindly return that check
This makes it evident Terry
himself intends to play conSid
erable first base next semester
and whenever he feels indiSposeo
young Mr.. Mize will be invited
to step forth and show cause
why he should not be doomed tc
return to the Cardinal chain
gang. With such a DamacleSiar
sword hanging over his conk, II
is believed Mr.. Mize will be i'm
PEELED to show plenty.
Terry also put over one OF
the finest deals Of the meeting
when he landed an American
League pitcher of class today

THREE ASSOCIATIONS
CITE SCHOOL NEEDS
East Washington Heights Pupils
Forced to Go 2 Miles to
Attend Glasses.

Efforts to secure a school in their
community are keeping the East
Washington Heights. Hillcrest and
Summit Park Citizens Associations
busy.
At present the most urgent plea is
being put forth by The members of
the East Washington Heights group,
who point out the distance pupils now
have to go to attend the nearest
school. A recent survey of the COM
munity showed that l22 children Of
school age are forced to attend classes
at a distance of two miles or more and
often transportation ;or this is fur
nished by the parents in their own
cars. as bus service is unsatisfactory.
The association was given to un-
derstand that a temporary six-room
structure for the community had been
included in the 1897 budget. This,
however, Goes not solve problem that
in their opinion warrants immediate
attention.
In the case Of the Hillcrest and
Summit Park associations, the only
available school is the Stanton, situ-
ated at Alabama avenue and Good
Hope road southeast. The members
contend that this building has out
lived its usefulness and a new school
should replace it. The Hillcrest group
supported the new Anacostia Junior
Senior High School, put feel that they
should have ole of their own.

BUS ROUTE CHANGE
OBTAINED BY GROUP
Public Utilities Commission Says
New Anacostia Service Will
Start Soon.

A change in the route OF the busses
that are to operate in the Anacostia-
Congress Heights area within the next
few weeks has been sanctioned by the
Public Utilities Commission after op-
position to the original route had been
voiced by the Washington Highlands
Citizens Association at its last
meeting
The original route would have the
busses terminate at Nichols avenue
and Atlantic street coutheast. The
change asked by the association. and
just recently approved by the commits
sion. would have the buSses go as far
as Haley place, east on Haley place
to First street. south on First street
to Atlantic street and then north on
Atlantic street into The city.
w. Earl Nair, president of the asso-
citation. when questioned on the COM
missions approval. expressed himself
as being very much pleased. both with
the installation Of busses in the next
six weeks and the change In the route.
He added he thought The busses would
undoubtedly speed the transportation
and be of far better service to the
community than the street cars have
been.

such tests are not necessary when
dealing with ethical merchants. The

the purchaser desires in connection
either with finished dresses or ma

said. about the types of dyes used and
about whether the materials are

.ALL-DAY SERVICE
Of BUSES SOUGHT.
FOR TAK0MA PARK
Delegate to Present Brief of
Needs to Public Utilities
Officials.

Enlargement OF the present bus
service from Takoma Park to the
center of the city will be sought this
week by a special committee repre-
senting the Brightwood Citizens Asso-
citation, which will confer with local
utility officials.
The Special Committee appointed by
President Charles w. Ray includes
William NICK. Clayton. chairman OF
the Public Utilities Committee Of both
the Brightwood and Federation OF
Citizens Associations; George r. Will
helm and Howard S. Fisk.
Since the installation of the new bus
line a month ago it has been doing
such a capacity business that In addi-
ton to the morning and evening spe-
cial express" service it is felt by
members OF the association that an
all day" service would prove equally
as popular. No request will be made
for an express service during the
non-ruSh hours, but the citizens In
the BrightWood and Takoma sections
say that bus service would enable
them to reach the downtown section
of the city quicker than the present
street car system.
Additional busses also will be urged
during the rush" hours in the morn
ing and evening as it is reported that
the buSSes are crowded to capacity
load by the time they arrive at points
south of Takoma Park. Several busSes
have been added since the new Serv-
Ice started and increased patronage.
it is predicted, will follow If more
busSes are added to the present sched-
ules during the rush" periods.
The present overcrowded conditions
will be presented to the utility officials
which will be borne out by several
near accidents due to the driver of
the buSSes being unable to observe
traffic coming from the right on ac-
count of the passengers blocking the
doors. Another matter which will be
taken up will be the excessive speed
Of some Of the buSSes on Madison
street between Fifth and Thirteenth
streets, at which latter point the last
stop Is made prior to turning south
ward to the center OF the city. At
the last meeting of the association
reference was made to the children
using Madison street en- route to
school, whose lives were endangered
by the speed Of some Of the busses
through this section of Brightwood.

proved at the recent meeting Of
zens' Association. According to the
report, this neighborhood has to
depend for its fire Profession upon
the company at Brightwood. about
2 miles distant. The site suggested
for this fire house is on Eastern
avenue between Thirteenth street
and Georgia avenue.
This question has been consid-
cred by other associations in this
general vicinity, and while they
concur In the need for additional
fighting apparatus in the
neighborhOOd, are not inclined
to favor site on the eX-
treme boundary Of the District.
They hold the fire company for
that section should be located near
the center OF the area.
The Army Medical Center and
Walter Reed Hospital have their
own fire company, located within
the reservation at the corner of
Georgia avenue and Dahlia street.
The District Fire Department re-
spends to any alarms turned in at
this Army post, but there is no
reciprocity. AS the fire traps of
the war period are rapidly giving
way to substantial modern brick
buildings at the hospital, it would
seem, to some citizens of the sec
ton. that something might be done
looking 10 plan that would be re-
ciprocal. This Army fire company
Is much better located than the
proposed site on Eastern avenue,
and in these times of reorganiZa-
tion and reallocation there is no
telling what may be brought about
II one will only try.
