He could do more pitching in the

Then there's Fielder Jones, OF
Brooklyn, Chicago and one Of the
Federal League clubs, if I recall
correctly. He was such an unusual
fielder they named him that.
Billy Sullivan, White Sox catcher,
deserves a call, and so does Nick
Altrock. Not forgetting big Wa

Rogers and Leo Katalinas, heavy
weights.
Rogers last year was Coach
LaFond's regular 175.pounder, but
this year he has taken on weight
and will be moved up. Incident
ally, Rogers was Ferdinand Ryd-
zewski, but he went into court and
had his name legally changed to
Fred Rogers.
Coach LaFond has veteran ma
terial in all classes but two. In
the 135-pound division and in the
lightheavyweight class, there Is
some doubt, but candidates may
come through to balance these
two divisions with the other six.
The first meet Is with North
Carolina State on Saturday night.
Last year, N. C. State won over the
Cards, 5 to 8, due principally to
the fact that Coach LaFond'S s
team had only three days OF
preparation before the meet. This
year the Cards hope to turn the
tables. c. us boxers this season
will have had two solid weeks OF
preparation before tackling N. G.

George Washington served notice

duckpins right here in their own
backyard in the sixth annual re-
newal Of The Washington Times
Ladies' Dixie Sweepstakes.
The Ladies' Dixie Sweepstakes
Is indisputably and by popular
acclaim the major duckpin event
of the year for women. This isn't
casting any stones at the U. s.
Women's Sweepstakes.
However, it is a matter Of rec
ord that the Dixie seems to have
more appeal generally and invari-
ably draws the largest field of all
major sweepstakes.
Another point is that it staged
during the month Of January, at
the height of the duckpin season,
when no other sport Is cluttering
up the scenery and the girls are in
top.notch form.
Marked By Thrills
Every Ladies Dixie Sweepstakes
has been marked by a memorable
thrill, and last year the classic
provided the greatest single thrill
in the annals of the game when
Lorraine GULL picked up los pins
in five boxes to triumph.
Just who will be this years hero
inc is on the laps Of the gods, we

Connecticut, which always has
its best feminine pin spillers in the

this coveted crown North. Rich

the championship circle, and from
reports emanating from both di-
rections, their chances were never
better.

Parkers Play
Central in
Debut
BY GARRETT WATERS


The champion Eastern High
School Five makes its debut in the
1887 tnterhigh basketball series
tomorrow and for the first time
in three years will go into action
without being a top-heavy favorite
to win the title.
Graduations Of star performers
pull the Parkers down to this
level. And it's a situation that's
unusual to say the least.
The Light Blue and White
opposes Central tomorrow at the
Tech gym at 3:15 p. m. in a game
that brings the return Of the
double-header system to the series.
Woodrow Wilson meets Western
in the nightcap attraction at 4:45
p. m.
Missing from the lineup will be
such famed youngsters as Levelle
Dean, Chick Hollidge, Buddy
Shaner, Red Scheible and Bucky
Buchholz-players who just about
ruled the rooSt in high school
basketball last year and two sea-
sons before that.
Absence Noticeable
Naturally the absence Of the
group will be noticeable for the
simple reason the boys now on
hand are not as talented, nor as
experienced.
Clinton Quantrille and Claude
Colley are veterans of the new
group. Both played last year, but
not often enough to stamp them
championship floor players. Sur
rounding the pair are Miller, also
a sub in 1886, and Cotton and
LuSby outright newcomers.
Cotton promises to be the real
conner Of the current lineup. The
lad is fast, agile and accurate.
Against st. Johns earlier in the
week he led the team in scoring
and has demonstrated more talent
in this direction in other contests
of the past.
Trio Of Dependables
Central will depend on Sam
Fox, burly center, Billy Ver1nil-
lion, guard; and Ralph Matera,
forward, in its quest for an open
ing victory. All three have had
interhigh experience and can be
counted upon to steady any other
combination Of players coach Jack
Ray deems to use, this latter list
including Hymie Goldblatt, Felix
Silverstein, Bill Heygster and
Bernie Applebaum.
The woodrow Wilsen-Western
contest will be interesting for the
reason it will show the former for
the first time in any series and
the latter, generally conceded as
possessing the best chance of cop
ping the championship this year.
woodrow Wilson'S starting
lineup is still a tumble. Coach
Carl Heintell has IA men and
probably will give everyone a
chance to play for the experience
to be derived under fire. West
ern's array will feature the famil.
lar names Of Burns, Schulz, De-
Witt, Needle and Swanson, and
the newcomers, Hell, Porter and
Holloran.

said the agreement had been worked
out professionally and conditionally'
as 1.-The first step in an energetic effort
to improve German American rela-
tlons" and under the impression that
Germany would receive beneficial con-
cessions.

Munich last July, they added. it has

GROUP HITS COST
OF VIRGIN ISLANDS
U. S. Made Expensive Pur-
chase, Members of Senate
Territories Unit Say.
By the Associated Press.

bS the Associated Press.
The United States made a costly
bargain, some members of the Senate
Territories Committee declared today,
when it paid Denmark SIS 100000 for
the Virgin Islands in 1917.
Since then, committee records
showed, the Treasury has contributed
millions toward their administration.
The outlay last year was s1,76e8O3.
plus some unestimated items.
The one return, said Gov. Lawrence
w. Cramer, has been in national de-
fense. This was the motive for
acquiring the Caribbean isles at
time when it was feared they might
be used as base for German sub
marines
Several Senators expressed their
views at a heated session yesterday
on the confirmation of Cramers nom
ination.
Isn't there any hope OF giving these
Islands away?' inquired Senator Bone,
Democrat, of Washington
National defense covers a multitude
Of sins" commented Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah. In the face Of
this evidence Of expense and the i'm
mense outlays we have made to take
care OF Puerto Rico, We seem to be
exploring and annexing every little
rock We can find in the Pacific"
Cramer said in response to questions
from Senator Reynolds, Democrat, Of
North Carolina:
There is no sentiment for inde-
pendence and the Virgin Islanders,
who are American citizens, would be
distressed by any such proposal"
Combining their administration with
that of nearby Puerto Rico, he said,
might have money for the Treasury,
but "the islanders would be very seri-
ously upset by any such arrangement" :"
The Governor held out hope that
direct Federal contributions might be
reduced soon below the present $780,
900 year-aside from relief and other
outlays-but he added:
I'VE can't expect to do better than
the Danes, who had to pay about
s135 900 a year"
