Joe Temes Cuts
Down Pine

There are plenty Of arguments
about town this morning as the
followers of the gentle art Of ear
bending review the demonstra-
tions at Joe Turner's last night.
Some say that if those were
fights, then make the most of
them. And you can't quote some
Of the others. Added all together,
they made a neat and clean zero,
with the exception of some of the
preliminary contests.
Joe TemeS outboxed Lloyd Pine,
sort of cut down the old Pine to
keep in step with a popular theme
song. In another affair Jackie
Burke outSlapped Lew Raymond,
Of Baltimore. It was not much
of a fight.
Bobby Wilson, always a popular
fighter, came through in yeoman
style to beat Joe Spangler. He
scrambled Spangler like a break
fast egg, and knocked him down
several times along the route.
Buddy Grimes defeated Mel De-
Shong in six heated rounds.

inopportune moments. In condi-
tion, Vosmik Is a fine ball player;
perhaps a better ball player than
Solters.
Andrews and Hildebrand are
about equal. Andrews was worked
to death for the past two years
and didn't have much on the ball.
Hildebrand didn't have much on
the ball either. In all probability
Hildebrand will be reinStated to
the ranks of starting pitchers with
the Browns, and this may encour-
age him to pitch winning ball.
President Clark C.. Griffith, of
the washington Club, attended the
funeral of Eddie Foster yesterday,
wherefore business at the Georgia
Avenue stadium was at a stand
still. .Bucky Harris is on his way
South for a vacation. Casey
Stengel, former manager of the
Daffy Dodgers, is in line for a job
as manager on the Pacific Coast
loop. The Yankees are not wor-
ried about Joe Di Maggia's threat
to hold out No real reason to
worry about him yet. Jimmy
Reese, who came up to the majors
with Lyn Larry, will play second
base for San Diego this year.
Johnny Gooch, former Pittsburgh
catcher, has developed a rare sort
of pitcher in Johnny Van der Nicer
of New Jersey. The kid shortened
his stride at Gooch's orders and
became the strikeout king of the
Piedmont League. Rip Russell,
second baseman of the Los An.
geles Angels, is just about one
year away from the major leagues
Good hitter, fine arm, fast and
right now a fine pivot man on
double plays. And that's the end
of today's baseball trail.

Program

When the basketball enthuSi-
asts see Senate Beer clash with the
Federal WPA team tonight in the
spacious 'ech High gymnasium in
an important Washington Times
Community Center Basketball
League game they will see four for
= mer high school players displaying
their wares for the Beermen. They
are Huck Cavanaugh, Gay Edelin,,
Bucky Buckholtz and Tony Latona.
Cavanaugh was all-high at
Roosevelt three seasons ago; Eide
lin and Buchholtz were allhighs
! at Eastern only last year, and
: Latona was all-high at Western
four winters ago.
This combination Is Augmented
by Fred Scheele, who is rapidly
forging to the front as one of the
leading SharpShooters on the local
floors; Billy Mitchell, an exponent
Of bulletlike passes, and Earl
Grove, heavyweight center who
played George Goss, Jewish Com
munity Center's great center to q
standstill only last eek.
Eagles vs., j. C. C.
Flying Eagles, who gave the
favorite Bureau Of Investigation
a run for their money Saturday
night before bowling, 80 to 81, re-
turns to action tonight in the
opening contest starting 7:15
o'clock against the strong j. c. C.
quintet.
Although Jewish Community
Center lost to Senate Beer last
week, it packs power. Boosting
such players as George Goss,
. former Dartmouth ace; isis"
EsstenStad, who saw service with
Georgetown University; Milt Gen.
derson, a polished performer, and
Phil Fox, star Of the Wilson
Teachers College two campaigns
ago, the Center has compiled an
enivable record in outside COM
petition.
Little Tavern demonstrated
class in defeating Labor, At to "a,
I Saturday.
TaVerns Play Well
After marking time in the first
half, Little Tavern opened an Of
fensive that showed the fighting
Labor boys under in the second
frame. Wilbur Cross, former all
high and Central High captain,
was truly outstanding for the vic
torious Tavern outfit. He found
the rims for II points, the ma
jority coming for difficult angles.
Dewey Poole, 18-year-old Labor
guard, was easily the best all
around player on the floor, scoring
8 points and holding his man to
only two markers.
The Eagles showed plenty Of
fight in their battle with the
G-men. The bureau started by dis
passing a neat exhibition Of fancy
passing and were content to mere
" toy with the seemingly out
classed Eagles. With the score
IA to 4 against them, the Eagles
came to life, passing with uncanny
accuracy and shooting with Eagle
eyes.

Vines three successive aces in

In New York they hold weekly
wrestling matches at the Hippo
drome, which seems appropriate
enough. At least the public know
what they are going to see.
The smallest State in the Union,
Rhode Island, saw the second
largest amount of money bet at
its tracks during 1885 which was
slightly over $4,000, 900. Cali

Disposition will make or break
Lyn Larry in Cleveland. If this
young man goes to work with a
smile and plays the ball of which
he is capable, he may easily
qualify for the most valuable
player prize. Larry has been in the
majors long enough now to know
and appreciate the rewards ana
penalties that go with the game.
Never Reached Peak
When Larry was with the Yam
KEGS he became an intimate as
Sociate of Babe Ruth. He was a
student of the Ruthian pSy-
chology, but he lacked the Ruth
ian wallop and box office appeal.
The trail led through Boston,
Washington. and st. Louis to
Cleveland for Larry.
In each city prior to Cleveland
he established himself as a player
of exceptional potentialities.
Critics agreed that Larry never
quite reached the peak Of his
promise.
