Catholic University, held at the
willard Hotel last night.
Mr.. Fish in his address, broad
cast over Station WMAL of the
National BroadcaSting Company,
expressed the hope that the Con-
greSs would appropriate sufficient
funds, facetiously placed at lone
million or one billion dollars" to
build a stadium.
"Then," thundered Mr.. Fish,
the Catholic University team
can invite NOtre Dame into
Washington, and through the
mastery Of 'Dutch" Bergman,
beat the South Bend champi-
OnS."
GraciouSly, but with q stern
tone in her charming voice, Mrs.
Norton said:

colleague, Mr.. Fish, and / pledge
my support to the proposition
of building this much needed
edifice to sport in the nations

The diners, 800 strong, gath
cred to pay tribute to the Flying
Cardinals who conquered Ole Miss
at Miami on New Year Day,
arose as one to cheer the Lady
from New Jersey.
Has Civic Clubs Support
The Build a Stadium" move
ment thus launched under such
signal auspices. has been advo-
Gated by many of the civic groups
of this city. The Rotary Club,
Lions Club, University Club, and
similar groups have long favored
such a move.
Joe Yanchulis, center of the Fly
ing Cardinals, won the award for
being the most valuable player on
the team last year and received a
gold medal from Msgr. P. j. Nc
Cormick, acting rector Of the Cath
olic University.
Hermie Schmarr, the smashing
left end, was elected captain Of
the 1886 fotball team. This cere-
mony was most impressive. The
players Withdrew from the room
to make their choice and upon
casting one ballot filed in to q
darkened room.

You wouldn't think this lad
could play basketball to look at
him.
He's so much smaller than the
average high school court per.
former. But Harry Wells makes up
for his lack of size by his ability
to stand the gaff, not to mention
a little bit of talent he exercises
on the floor for the Western High
School five.
Harry has played a dependable
game in the back court for the
GeorgetownerS this season. He's
held a number Of supposed big
time scorers at bay a great deal
while he's gotten away to account
for few points at the same time.
He's another of the many" who
had to sit on the bench last year
because of Coach Moore's more ex-
perienced lineup of 1934-35. But he
promises to show the way to
others for several seasons to come
now and this is not bad news for
Coach Cliff Moore at all.

Delaney Scores
Over Lipps

The fight fan "eatS up" a fast
and furious battle with first man
on the verge of a knockout, then
the other. Events like that make
the evening more or less well
spent.
It was like that at the Arena
last night where Al Delaney and
Joe Lipps faced in the feature
bout on the program.
Delaney triumphed by close
decision, but not before he and
LppS had battled through eight
rounds of up-to-the-minute boxing
the type filled with action from
the opening gong to the last.
Delaney had Lipps almost out
several times and LippS had AL
mumbling to himself at other oc-
caSionS. The crowd liked it and
gave both boys an ovation at the
finish.
Lipps could have won in the
sixth round when he had Delaney
hanging on the ropes. But he
failed to take advantage Of the
situation and Al came back.
Twenty-Five hundred witnessed
the milling.
The prelims had Sammy Chern-
off defeating Ray Ingram in six
rounds, Bearcat Virgin knocking
out King Kong in the second
round of a scheduled four-rounded,
Tommy Hoover getting the mob
over Jesse James, and Ben Brown
kayoing Tony Livingstone.

Robert Called Threat
To Wrestling Champ

Equally as sensational as was
Danno O'Mahony year ago when
Danno was stcrming the cham
pionship wrestling heights then
occupied by Jimmy LondoS, youth
full Yvon Robert, 21-year-old
French Canadian ace, makes his
debut at the Arena mere Monday
night.
Credited with an unofficial win
over O'Mahoney in a Holyoke,
Mass, free-for-all, and since vic
torious over both Jim Browning
and Ed (Don) George, Robert is
considered by many the outStand-
ing contender for Danno's laurels.
Robert gained additional wreS-
tling glory by pinning Ray Steele
in Philadelphia last night.

Jimmy Foxx, in answer to the
statements that he has not hit

Of Jess Hill, looms as one Of the
strongest and fleetest in the
major leagues, with throwing
power galore. Those outfielders
will be able to run Lases, getting
the extra bag on balls hit into
right field or right center.
In all probability Bucky Har.
ris will count upon Buck New.
som, Earl Whitehill, Jimmy De
Shong and Eddie Linke as his
starting quartet, rotating them If
possible. Henry Coppola, the
Italian lad who made a brilliant
debut last year, rates in the Sec
ond line. 1t is possible that Dick
Lanahal may win similar rating
with the club.
Leon Petit, who did such fine
service in relief roles last year, will
serve in similar capacity again.
There will be spots in which Petit
will be started. Jack Russell,
who might make great golf pro-
feSsional if his heart were not in
baseball, will be another pulmotor
man.
Withhold Judgment
It is so much easier to make
the expedient speech that your
agent would like to burn red fire
and wave the flags over some Of
the other pitchers. There's Pete
Appleton, for instance. He was a
winning pitcher in the minor
leagues but he couldn't win with
the several major league clubs
that tried him previously.
That goes for some Of the
others. They are pitchers, and as
such will receive the attention
they merit. But all judgment
must be reserved on them until
they've Strutted their stuff under
fire.
Cliff Bolton, Bill Starr and Sam
Holbrook will do the catching.
Starr is the best receiver Of the
three and shows greatest natural
talent for the job. Bolton is the
best hitter, and that boy Holbrook
surely can yell encouragement
from the bench.
The right side of the Washing
ton infield is as good as you can
ask. It doesn't match Detroit,
but it is far from weak. Joe Ku-
hel is a nice first Sacker. He
probably will improve on his show
ing of last year. It took some
time for Kuhel to convince him
self that his leg, broken in 1884,
would be as good as ever, or
nearly so. But he is back in form
and we can also expect him to
hit better.
A Real Ball Player
Buddy Myer is all the ball
player that you or anyone else
could ask. He is a thoroughly
courageous man under stress, and
you don't have to go beyond his
bid for the batting championship
of 1885 to establish that fact.
Myer needed four hits to win, and
he got them like man.
Cecil Travis probably will play
shortstop, and a right good hand
he will be, in all probability. Travis
figures to show more stuff at short
than he did at third, where hits
went booming into left field, hit at
terrific speed off the type Of pitch
ing the Washington club had to
offer. The writer voices full con-
fidence in the ability Of Travis to
fill the bill at ShortStop despite his
lack of experience at the post.
The infield reserves loom as
Bluege, the perennial star Of the
inner works. Bluege is the most
graceful and effective infielder OF
them all, and he may start the sea"
son at third base despite an ex-
pressed preference to experiment
with Lewis. KreSS probably Will
be with the club.
The outfield figures to be COM
prised of Stone in right, Powell in
center and Hill in left, with Miles
as alternate and Carl Reynolds a
probable starter early in the sea-
son.

The President of the United
States, by the very pressing
nature of his duties, must have
diversion, and it seems that
one of his main interests, over
and above the affairs Of State,
is baseball.
Mr.. Roosevelt admits as
much in a splendid message

of the baseball writers in New

pices Of the largest chapter among

part of the federal Identification

the junction two miles west of Tue
son where the Picacho-Casa

from the road to Florence and
Phoenix.

and urged by Phoenix has appro-
priated 100000 for two-mile
project at this point. AS planned
by the Arizona state engineers, the
