Tourney Draws S

By SID KATZNELL

If enthusiasm wins bowling
titles, then the 50-odd bowlerS from
this city should win every crown
in the National Duckpin Bowling
Congress tournament tonight in
Hartford, Conn.
They were bubbling over with
it this morning as they embarked
by train for the battle front.
Their spokesman, Benjamin Nc.
Alwee, who has been connected
with the bowling game since he
was knee high to a grass hopper
said:
washington is going to bring
home plenty Of bacon this time.
Why! We're leading in two d.
visions already. Catherine Quig.

Brewers Win Crown
Heurich Brewers are today
champions of the District Duck
pin League by virtue of their
winning two out Of three games
from Occidental Restaurant, the
defending titleholderS.
The crucial match at Conven'
ton Hall last night witnessed
the Occidentals winning the first
game, 583 to 563. From here
the Brewers held the upper hand
winning the second SkirmiSh, 639
to SGT, and completely Swamping
the prides of Fred Buchholz in
the deciding tilt, 619 to 500.
Whip Litchfield, VINO last sea

second pennant, was a thorn in

New Champ Crowned
A second new champion was
crowned when Joe FreSchi won
the high-average championship
with a mark of 1928 for 72
games. The Grand Central Valet
star virtually walked in with the
title as he shot but 345 while Joe
Harrison who had recently gave
rise to retaining his laurels for
the third straight year turned in
a poor $50 set.

Detton Defeats
Emil Dusek
On Mat

Dean Detton had maintained
his winning pace in the wrestling
world today. following a gruelling
match against Emil Dusek at the
Arena.
The bout was one Of the most
vicious of its kind. It had all the
ingredients of the usual match in
Guiding painful expressions, tum-
bling, flying tackles, rope fling
ing, body slams, pushing and slap
ping.
After 23h minutes, Detton
pinned Dusek to the mat. 1t was
a gratifying victory for him, since
he had a special mania to defeat
one of the famed Dusek family.
Some day he hopes to get" 'em
all.
About 1900 braved the rainy
weather to witness the show. They
were royalty entertained even to
the extent Of the prelims which
were fast and furious.
Steve ZnoSki tossed Jim Coffield
in 20 minutes with a body slam
in the best of the supporting fea-
lures. Other bouts had DR.. Len
Hall throwing Floyd Marshall and
Mike Mazurki defeating Harry
Fields.

The annual table tennis tour
nament which has been in prog

is ended. Elias Schuman, de-

title.
He defeated Nanny Mosco-

22-15 in the finals last night.
Schuman also won in the dou-
bles finals, teaming with Bob
Lee. The pair defeated the
Sherry brothers, Raphael and
Lawrence, 21-18, 22-20, 19-21,
16-21 and 24-22.
Madeline Teghtmeyer won the
women's championship, defeating

The Washington times., 1936-04-10

news is scarce and anything might
prove interesting.
1t was reported that Casey
Stengel was interested in Dee
Miles. Now Casey is a man of
vision, and he doubtless was
thinking of how nicely Miles could
pull that ball against the right
field fence in Ebbets Field. Yes
indeed, Miles not only would pull
the ball against the fences, but
over the fence.
Harris intends to start the same
team in the same lineup that faced
the Dodgers against the Phillies.
The circumstance of victory or de.
feat has not bothered Harris. He
rather expected to lose.
York Shipped Quickly
It didn't take the Detroit Tigers
long to ship Rudy York out of the
American League once Hank
Greenberg arrived. But this time
York is with the Milwaukee Brew
ers. He will play first base and
do some fence conquering in the
American Association for while,
York played for a couple Of years
in the Texas League, with Beau
mont, but he is ready for Double
A ball now, and the American AS
ISOLATION should fit him for Serv'
ice in the majors.
It is doubtful if York ever will
play with the Tigers. He is arriv
ing just as Greenberg has arrived
York is not yet good enough to
oust Hank from the spot, probably
never will be. But he is q cinch
to make the grade in another year

most successful sandlot managers.
Hutchinson's Manhattan team

Hutchinson emits a very loud
"phooey" after scanning the four
selections.
"ThOSe guys are much too
young to pass judgment on local
SandlOt ball players. Washing
toms SandlOt'S finest hurler was
none other than Charles Buck
Becker, who pitched for the
Ninth Street Christians in the
old Sunday School League long
before the war. He twirled for
the Washington team for sew

Simmons probably will come
back. But doubt if it will be
as far as some of the critics are
claiming for him. After all, the
gent is a little elderly.
So is a pitcher like Crowder
and I'm wondering wh e tn e r
Greenberg's big salary won't dis
tress a few of his playmates,
notably Gehringer, Rowe and
Bridges.
The Red Sox must be con-
Sidered as a lot Of conflicting
temperaments that have to be
consolidated and I once thought
that they would be. I don't now.

lowed to rot by slow and painful

ington has little pitching and
even less of an infie1d but their
hitting ought to keep them up
there at the top Of the second
flight.
Browns Can't Improve
The Browns got as far last
year as they have any reasonable
right to expect. They probably
won't improve. Mediocrity seldom
does. The White Sox are falling
all the way back where they
rightfully belonged last year.
They gave up Simmons and got
nobody in return. Some Of those
pitchers don't look as though
they'll repeat. Neither do one or
two of those outfielders. Phila-
delphia Athletics? Well, Is for
them, I still like Sioux City.

up with a major league catcher.
they might break on top and
front-run the field all the way to
the end. They just happen to
be a club that should have won
in other years, but didn't.
The Tigers, I suspect, can't
win three straight. A club al
ways has to be better in its third

natural let down, and somehow !
figure the Tigers to be a little
worse. Everybody says that Sim

our Mr. BUCK NeWSOm BOG q
close shave and a curling Of the
ears from the Gowanus Condo
liers. Our Mr.. Whitehill had a
nice marcel by the time he left
the box. Now to the layman
there was nothing out of the
ordinary in all of this. The
boys had gone through a long
workout the day before, and they
didn't snap back as quickly as
they might have.
BlameS Mound For Loss
When the game was over
Newsom sought out Harris and
said:
Il was wilder out there than
at any time this spring. Il
couldn't stride right. It's II
on account of that pitching
hill. It's too low. It will have
to be built up about three
inches"
So they called Emile Haise-
man, ground keeper, into confer
ence.
Build up that mound a lit
tle," Harris said. "It'S too low
for NewsOm."
Don't 90 making any sky
Scrapers out there" said White
hill. "Cut it down a little In
front and it will be perfect"
'Never mind cutting it
down." rOared NewsOm, build
up the hill so q pitcher that
can pitch can pitch"
"It should be fixed on the
Sides" said Eddie Linke, who
came up just at that moment.
Mr.. HaiSeman looked helpleSSly
at Harris. Harris winked at Mr.
Haiseman. Now it seems that they
will build up the mound when
Newsom pitches, cut it down when
Whitehill pitches, fix the sides
when Linke pitches, and if two of
those birds ever get into the game
on the same day it is likely that
Mr.. Haiseman will flee the coun-
try.
Pitch Against PhilS
Bucky Harris is more than eager
to have the pitching hill fixed
every night If Newsom and White
hill just return to the form they
displayed on the way home.
There's a lot Of work before the
boys.
Ed Linke and Jimmy DeShong are
slated for work against the Phil
lies this afternoon. The weather
man has promised clearing skies,
and unless there's freeze or high
wind the teams will take the field.
The infield will be in fine con-
dition. or so we are told. Clark
Griffith just bought new canvas
covering for the diamond and it
was placed over the Sward last
night.
Griffith took time to deny that
he was considering a deal with
the Brooklyn Dodgers by which
Joe Strip would become a mem
ber of the Griffs. Strip is hold.
ing out for $4,000 per annum and
has been offered $1,000.
Waivers Needed First
Before Strip could come to
the Griffs he would have to be
waived out of the N ationa
League, and of course the Phil
lies and Braves, among others
would want to say something
about that. The Athletics and the
Browns would want to know
something about him before the
Griffs could make a deal like
that. However, it all adds to the
workings Of a rainy day VIXEN
