Today's game between tn e
Central and Roosevelt High
School elevenS has been post
poned on account of the rain.
The teams, torrid rivals in the
Interhigh Football series, will
play the contest at a date yet
to be arranged.
Usually when an interhigh
series football game is post
poned, it is played the following
day. But this cannot be done
in this instance, since Roosevelt
has a game Friday with George
Washington High, Of Alexandria,
Va, at the Roosevelt Stadium at
$3.50 p. m.
Probabilities are the teams will
wait until after the regular sched-
ule to play-off the game. Even
with that long wait the same riv-
airy will rule, particularly as
Roosevelt possesses it's first chance
for a victory over the Mt. Pleas
anters in years.
The Roosevelt George Washing
ton High contest of Friday is only
one of several. others listed this
week. Tomorrow Eastern enter.
tains Gonzaga High at the East
ern Stadium at $3.50 p. m.
Friday, Woodrow Wilson and
Tech oppose at the Tech Stadium,
$3.50 p. m. Other games that day
list st. Johns against Western, at
the Western Stadium; Anacostia
High against Woodward Prep, at
Eastern Stadium; st. Adams

The kiddies will enjoy the free

paid-up fans who sat with some
degree of cheerfulness in a con.
slant drizzle last night at Griffith
Stadium enjoyed forty-odd rounds
of fair-to-middlin fighting. The
gate was 1907 to which will be
added several hundreds for tickets
bought but not used.
The promoters could do fight
addicts, themselves and the fight
erS a big favor if they repeated
the card in toto at later and
drier date with such slight changes
as Armando Stella Scuffling with
Lou Gevinson and Danny London
swapping blows with Baby Manuel.
If this be treason make the most
of it. GevinSon won by virtue of
a right jab. He had his famed left
hook along but-well, he just had
it along.
SOUTHWEST WONDERS
Southwest washington is begin
ming to wonder out loud what Lou
Gevinson is saving that Southpaw
mitt of his for?
Against the none-too willing but
cagey Danny London, Gevinson
swung that left a bakers dozen
times and only twice found solid
ground. Has the southpaw fighter
gone "right-hand crazy?" In the
second round, London was looking
for a soft place on the canvas
when Gevinson caught him in the
pit of the stomach with the left,
but Danny decided to continue
when the referee ignored his wall
of foul"
FINISHES ON FEET
Gevinson did most damage in
the fifth and sixth rounds but the
NeI York lightweight used every
vile of the ring to finish on his
feet little the worse for wear. Lon
don, not in the best of condition,
flashed superb defensive form on
occasions. DR.. o. U. Singer and
Referee Eddie LaFond said Gevin-
son, Bob Ehler said draw. If Lon
don will train a couple of hours
some day we would like to see a
return bout between the two.
Cool as a cucumber packed in
ice cubes, Cowboy Howard Scott
completely outclaSsed the cratic
swinging Irish Johnny Dean in a
snappy lightweight semifinal.
Scott revealed an authoritative
right swing in the later rounds
after he found he had Deans
teeth.rattling right under control.
However, it was SCOTS jolting left
jab which kept down the Irish Re-
bellion.
WET CANVAS INTERFERES
Baby Manuel lost to a rough,
willing mixer in Armando Stella,
Chicago featherweight, but the
slippery canvas was more to
blame than Sicilia'S tactics.
Manuel, a counter fighter, was
forced to carry the fight to Stella
and the wet flooring robbed him
of his speed afoot. Manuel went
down from looping right in the
fourth round. A main event re-
turn bout between these two
would gladden. the hearts of local
fistic followers no end. Fans
aren't convinced that Sicilia's
wild right swing is better than
Manuels smooth, piston like left
hook.
Al Reid, New York feather
weight, was pleased to hear a
draw decision after six rounds Of
smuggling with Ray Ingram, Of
Washington. Ingram punches
were crisper and better timed.
