CARDS BATTLE
SPEEDY FIVE
TONIGHT

Catholic University's basketball
team will face one of the strongest
quintets to show in Washington
this season when it meets Emory
and Henry tonight on the home
courts. The game is scheduled to
start at 8 o'clock. The Washing
ton School of Law will meet the
c. U. freshman in the preliminary
battle, beginning at o'clock.
Winning it's last two starts
against Western Maryland and
Baltimore Loyola by overwhelm-
ing scores, the Cardinal dribblers
will have anything but an easy
time of it this evening. The Emory
and Henry invaders are undefeat-
ed in their seven games to date,
and have compiled three year
record of Al wins in 40 games
played. The team is coached by
Pedie Jackson, one of the best
Coaches of the southland.
Capt. Glenn Roberts, center of
the Virginia quintet was the high
scoring tipoff man last season,
and by his record so far this sea.
son in ringing up baskets, prob
ably will surpass his mark of last
season. He stands six feet three,
and is built on the same proper
tionS as Catholic US sterling cen
ter, Bernie Lieb. The battle be-
tween these center men should be
red hot from start to finish.
Another member of the Emory
and Henry crew is Wiley Weaver,
stocky guard, and a cousin of
Monte Weaver, of the Nationals
hurting corps.
Coach Fod Cotton will probably
start Hermie Schmarr and Gene
Augusterfer, at forwards for the
Cards; Lieb, of course, at center:
and Co-captains Babe Gearty and
Abe Rosenfield at the guard posts.
The visitors lineup will have,
: in all probability, Ken FVlk and
Jake Robinson at forward, Cap
tain Roberts, center, and the All.
Chesapeake Conference selections,
Tack Countiss and Walt Fielder
at guard.

Fleming spent a busy autumn

Pethick to the explosion, and did

Papa Luque.
Dozes in Summer
Papa Luque is a "holler guy"
from away back. But the ancient
Castillian has reached an age
where he begins to doze a little
in the sun on those sleepy sum-
mer afternoons. Besides which
he spends most of his time in
the bullpen during games, and
hollering from out there is just
so much wasted effort.
A "holler guy" of course, is
a guy who screams for every
close one and keeps on scream
ing until he gets at least his full
share of them. He is a valuable
man on any team.
Their new shortstop is a lad
from another bolt of cloth.
Off the field he is quiet and
pleasant, as "holler guys" often
are, but once he rolls his ball
pants up into the tops of his
socks, he is a most belligerent
individual.
This be1ligerancy may be
traceable to the fact that he
began his playing career fight
ing with his old man as to which
was the better. The senior
Bartell was a right sharp second
baseman himself and it took son
Richard a long time to convince
his daddy that there might be
another real ball player in the
Bartell family.
Scoffed at Ability
Naturally they were not play
ing at the same time. But when
Papa Bartell would go out to
watch Richard perform, he
was apt to come home audibly
critical of Dicks ability. Maybe
the son had dropped a difficult
fly.
"Why, when 1 was playing
ball." Papa Bartell would say,
81 used to put that kind in my
hip pocket"
There is a certain type of
youngster who might be ruined
by such tactics on the part of
a parent. But not Richard.
Papa Bartell knew his own
son. The next day Dick would
be out practicing on flies of
that type until he, too, could
stick 'em in his hip pocket.
In short, he was a fighter.
He fought to improve his own
play and fought to win for his
team. And so, when he broke
into the major leagues with
the Pirates, he was Scrappy
player and a noisy one. For no
reason, I suppose, except that
he is a player of that type,
Bartell always has reminded
me a little of Johnny EverS.
The Trojan was a "holler guy"
from the day he broke into
baseball until he left it recently
to run a sports goods store in
Albany.

 Tourney

New York, Dec. 1CUP) --The World pocket billiards champion ship opens tonight with Erwin Rudolph, Cleveland, four times a champion, meeting Marcel Camp of Detroit.
 The tournament will be placed on a round robin basis of AS games and 125 points in 13 days. Each player meets each opponent once.
 The winner will receive $l,500 in cash, plus 15 per cent of the net gate receipts and 8 diamond em- blem.
 The tables will be of purple shade instead of the usual green. The pockets will be bright orange and the balls will be solid colored in- stead of stripped.
 Other players entered are: George Kelly, Philadelphia, national champion; James Caras, Whining ton, Del; Frank Taberski, Schnec- tady; William Mosconi, Philadel- phia; Charles Seaback, New York; Pasquale Natalie, Chicago, and Benny Allen, Kansas City. Ralph Greenleaf of New York, who has won the. title 13 times, withdrew last week because of ill., ness. His place was taken by Joe Procita, Gloversville, N. r., who will be the tenth player.

Charles Francis Adams who for feited it, is expected to purchase chise Kenesaw M. Landis, baseball commissioner, isn't exactly crazy about Adams being associated with racing, for which reason Adams probably will announce his withdrawal from the Suffolk Downs track as quickly as possible. {. Adams is a creditor of the Braves to the extent of about $125, ,000, and the financial muddle can best be worked out with the chain-store and hockey magnate remaining. Oscar Eckhardt, Pacific Coast League batting champion who goes to Florida with Brook iyn next spring, was released by Detroit several seasons ago be- cause of poor fielding. He should be right at home with the Dodgers. =. The New Jersey house is reported all set to pass bill legalizing racing .....

Flamenco has been nominated for the $112,5O0 Santa Anita Handi- cap of Feb. 9. Although little or nothing is known about him in this country, the English miller is rated highly on the other side.
