National Rifle Association will
petition Congress in the near
future to reinstate the national
rifle matches.
Gen. M. A. Rockford, vice pres
ident of the association, pointed
out that the basic law requires
the matches, but that they were
discontinued in 1882 as a meas
ure of economy.
Restoration of the matches is
sought in order that the work
of instructing civilians in marks
manship may be resumed where
it was left off more than two
years ago.
General Rockford said that 25,-
280 entries were received for the
matches of 1881.
The Washington times., 1935-02-02

Hill is a great defensive player
on his minor league form. He is
fast and has the knack of getting
the jump on the ball.
Hill to Play Left
The probabilities are that Hill
will win the berth in left field,
conditional upon his ability to
peer through the blazing sun at
Yankee Stadium. With Chapman
in center and one of the better
throwers of the remaining out
fielders in right field, you have
the probable set-up of the New
York outfield.
Although the outfield will call
for a lot of McCarthy's time and
attention, other problems beset
him. Lazzeri is approaching the
end of his great career. The
Walloping Wop can't get those
sizzling smashes to his right as
he once could. And he can't skip
from first to third on a short
right field blow. They may have
to bench Lazzeri this year. And
with nod to Babe Ruth's selec-
tion of the all-star Yankee team,
Tony was the greatest second
sacker the Yankees ever had.
Don Heffner and Roy Schalk
are the two rookie second sackers
who will go to st. Petersburg this
spring. Both are good fielders,
but neither is a good hitter.
Schalk hit .258 for the Newark
Bears. Heffner was around that
mark-maybe a little less for the
Yankees. Schalk, they tell me by
long-distance telephone from New
York, is a better prospect than
Heffner for the reason that he
is more rugged.
The Yankees are weak at third
base. Red Wolfe may come on
and show more stuff this year
than he did last. He is fast, but
his arm is not the best. He may
be a pretty good hitter.
A Source of Grief
One of the sources of woe to
the Yankees last year was the
collapse of Johnnie Allen and
Russ Van Alta. Both were great
pitchers in 1888, and both were
great flops last year. Van Alta
was troubled with numb fingers,
something like Ed Linke's case.
Allen had a plain sore arm. Nc
Carthy's reluctance to give Allen
the proper rest only aggravated
the soreness, and convinced many
who know their ways around, that
Mccarthy is anything but a
genius when it comes to handling
hurlers.
Walter Brown, the jumbo OF
pitchers, may make the Ameri-
can League grade this year Brown
won 20 games and lost 6 for
Newark last year. He has the
stuff all right, and it's just a
case of whether the big boys legs
will stand the strain of Juggling
around 27O pounds. Brown, con-
trary to popular belief is sure
handler of bunts.

team branched out a little more
in the second period and scored
enough points to lead, 14-11,
at half.
Eastern's winning squirt in the
final quarter, eliminating in its
victory, virtually assures it Of
the championship today. The
teams standing now reads six
triumphs as against no losses. 1t
has two more games to play-one
against Roosevelt Tuesday and
another against Tech, Febru-
ary IL.
Central defeated Roosevelt, 80
to 10 at Roosevelt in the other
inter-high game yesterday. The
Mt. Pleasanters scored, going
away in this one with Charlie
Nau and Billy Vermillion leading
the attack with II and 9 points,
respectively. The contest marked
the final appearances of the year
of Spero KoliuS and AL Spivok,

riod. Immediately at the start of
the fourth, two players who had
been kept in the background be-
cause Of the efforts of others,
jumped into the spotlight with a
vengeance. They we're Fred Schei-
BILE and Gay Edelin,.
SheibIe Starts Drive
The former cranked up the
drive which finally put Eastern
across while the latter put the
finishing touches on it. Two bas-
kets in a row, both from difficult
angles, were offered first by
Scheible. This gave Eastern a
lead which was never questioned
during the remainder Of play.
Edelin'S basket came a little later
on and actually clinched the game
for his team.
Before all this, Westerns gal
liant attempt to keep in the series
running unfolded itself. Joe Han
ley, center, and Phil Maloney,
guard, led the playing. Hanley,
by his scoring work, and Ma

Entries are now open for the

championships to be held at the

The meet will be conducted un-

the first, second and third place

Eight events will constitute the
program including a 20O-yard re-

watched eagerly by New York
fans this spring. Dickey for years
has done practically all the re-
ceiving for the New York club
and it stands to reason that he
can't go on forever.
For the past several years the
Yankees have relied upon Art
"Schnozzola" Jorgens. Jorgens is
all right as far as he goes. He's
good receiver, but he is slow
and couldn't knock off your hat
in three swings.
Looking over the Yankees as
pennant contenders, there are
too many weak spots; too many
mediocre players on the roster
to warrant any great confidence
in their championship possibili-
ties.

would be prohibitive from a pro.

New Englanders, as I know
them, are clannish. Friend.
ship is just that with them, and
I don't think such a statement
needs any amplification.
But, laying all of that aside,
here is another paradox of the
Boston situation which has me
stopped cold in my So-called
mental processes.
Yawkey Really Good Sport
The Tom Yawkey that I
know is not the Tom Yawkey
who was quoted as saying that
the Braves, had they been
euchered out of their former
bailiwick, could not have access
to the spacious and recently re.
modelled Fenway Park, home of
the American League Boston
Red Sox, of which YaWkey is
surface owner and of which our
boy wonder, Joe Cronin, is the
apparent manager for five years,

No sir, such a statement does
not ring true of the young lum-
ber millionaire out of Michi.

ling and all that sort of thing
to make it more beautiful,
spacious and commodious, and
the possibility arose that it
may not be ready for the
opening of the season, didn't
Yawkey send out a distress
signal?
Fuchs Was obliging
What if we have one of
these paralyZing and crippling
strikes among some of the
building trades which are prev
alent in other sections of the
cOuntly?" thought Yawkey to
himself.
"This code thing, you know,
has a lot of building projects
slowed up and these strikes are
beyond the control Of the con.
tractor" he said to his general
manager, Eddie Collins.
That was the reasoning and
the fear that was in the minds
of the Red Sox just one year
ago, and they sent out an SOS
to the Braves to learn If their
field would be available If
worst came to worst.
The answer came back from
Judge Fuchs, the legal associate
of the present Governor of
Massachusetts,:
Certainly"
"And how much will il cost
us?" was the next question.
"NOt a damn cent" the mag.
unanimous Judge Fuchs replied.
Vital to Baseball
And now, assuming Mr.. Reil-
ly's inquisitorial mien again, do
you deign to say that all the
bunk about the Boston situation
that has been released to the
public is or the Oakley -doakey!
Finally, my friends, I believe
that the very fabric of profes.
sional baseball is too vitality in
terwoven for the two leagues to
present the particular front
they were seemingly doing in
the Boston situation?
I don't believe the American
League is so independent of it's
big brother, the National
League, as to permit one to
stand by and let a unit of the
other die on the stem or in any
otherwise to be in dire distress.

There have been things said which to this

a few facts which are quite plain to even
the unsophisticated in baseball; and for the
sake of the records and the game itself,
believe they will stand little emphasizing
