ABRAMS RING WIN
SHOWS NO CLASS
GIaring Weaknesses Seen
in Local Middle as He
Scores Over O'Boyne.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

After a steady diet of George
Abrams. local ringworms. as generally
expected, have soured on the Jewish
youngster. And, what is more i'm
portant, there is a sneaking suspicion
Georges promise has curdled or his
ability was overestimated at the start.
Irish Jimmy O'Boyne never has
been accused of greatness. but the
Boston middleweight at least served
to illustrate last night at Turner's S
Arena that Abrams ring repertoire
needs complete overhauling If he in
tends to make his impression in what
currently comprises flstiana's strong
est division.
Abrams won unanimous decision,
but that hardly is significant. During
those eight dull rounds George lost his
status as a glittering prospect and
his weaknesses were revealed. even
more than in the 10 bouts which pre-
ceded them.
Abrams Style Full of Flaws.
Georges most fragrant fault hitherto
has consisted of lowering automatical-
ly his left hand after pumping a jab,
thus inviting crushing counter right.
O'Boyne found little difficulty in nick
ing the 19-year-old product of local
amateur ranks frequently with a
varied assortment of lefts. When a
fighter can be smacked solidly from
both sides and at the same time
unveil a minimum Of authoritative
punching himself, there is no plausible
excuse for remaining in the business.
1t marked Georges nineteenth vic
tory in 20 engagements, but 1t was
distressing from several angles. Only
800 customers were interested enough
to attend, and goodly portion of
those were anti-Abrams. II he is
popular. that meager attendance after
years campaigning here hardly
mirrors the fact.
One of Georges best friends, but
also one of this sectors most competen,
judges of ring flesh, has insisted since
the start that Abrams never will make
the grade. Now it appears his early
opinion is vindicated. George has too
much to learn.
Georges Rights Are Wild.
"OBoyne was throwing those lefts
from dead center field" offered the
flstic veteran. yet they were landing.
He still can be hit with right by any
bum smart enough to throw one. He
doesn't even jab correctly. He can't
work his way inside and he hasn't given
any indication he'll ever learn to
punch properly. He's hitting with his
wrists bent and you don't kayo guys
like that"
Georges rights served only to stir
the humid atmosphere, for O'Boyne
neatly stepped inside the curving
clouts and allowed them to arc be-
hind his head Abrams finished
strongly as Jimmy tried, but two
rounds awarded the local lad for fou
tactics were instrumental in the out.

CLARKE ROLLS All
BUT IS NOT HAPPY
Request That Another Set
Count in Tourney Costs
All-Events Mark,

While Astor Clarke, the Nations No.
1 duckpin bowler, today was sporting
his third straight 400 set, the first time
this feat ever has been achieved in the
Washington City Duckpin Association
championships, tournament officials
slowly were recovering from the biggest
night ever staged in the history Of the
association.
A check by Secretary Arville Eber-
sole revealed that 43 teams, 81 doubles
and IS singles rolled last night at Con-
yention Hall in the 28th annual spring
classic. The previous record was 38
teams, so doubles and 81 singles last
year at the Lucky Strike.
Proves Tough Break.
Oddly enough Clarke is not over
joyed. His AIT, shot with the Bureau
of Investigation team, will not count
as his final set in his a,l-events. He
previously had requested that his Oc-
cidental team set, yet to be rolled, be
counted. Ordinarily the first team set
bowler shoots goes to make up his
nine-game total
Had his set counted, Clarke would
have chalked up an all-time record of
1,243. breaking the 1920 rolled at Con-
vention Hall in 1884 by Paul Harrison.
The Arlington howitzer started his
spectacular shooting with 412, which
tops the Glass A singles, and came
back on the same night last week with
4l4 when he coupled his efforts with
those of Bill Krauss to smash out an
all-time Glass A doubles mark of 843.

Maryland made it two straight over
Georgetown in baseball yesterday, but
this time it was the Old Line frosh
who recorded the victory. Just when
1t seemed as if the Hilltop yearlings
might avenge their varsity's defeat,
the College Parkers came to life to
score nine runs in the last three in

1t was the first win of the season
for the young Marylanders and when
the score stood at 1875 in the seventh,

NEW YORK, May 3.-If you chance
to be under the impression that base
ball has been getting quite play lately
in the papers and in the politer subway
conversations, you just should be in
England now that the Australians are
there.
Or, rather, now that Don Bradman
Is there with the Australian test"
cricket team, because Don is so much
more cricket player than any one
else that they don't bother to figure
out who is second or third Wherever
cricket is played, his name is breathed
reverently, like Brooklyn fan recall
ing the fielding feats of Babe Herman,
Every fourth year Bradman leads
the Australians on long trip to Eng

ways the Australians win, because they
have Bradman, but the English fans
get to sit long hours and watch Brad
man bat, and that's about all a cricket
fan asks of this world.
Big Frontage Feature.
From now until September Don's
feats with his big paddle-shaped bat
will occupy more front-page space in
the newspapers of the British Isles
than any other subject, barring a gen.
eral European war The placards worn
by the neWsboys will shout day after
day in foot-high letters such mystic
symbols as "Dons century" Don 204,
not out or on rare occasions, Brad
man bowled for duck
The latter, of course, represents a
very unusual occurrence, about as rare
for the great Don as a no-hit, no-run
game in baseball 1t means, tragically,
that he didn't make any runs at all,
and that the bowler who did it will
be famous enough for the next few
weeks to sign paid testimonials for
iron tonicS and nourishing stout.
Though it undoubtedly would bore
the average American stiff to have to
watch Bradman bat for five or six
-hours-as he frequently does-he just
as unquestionably is, and has been for
greatest athletes. For that period, in
fact, he has dominated his sport more
completely than any man who comes
to mind, unless it is Tommy Hitch
cock, jr., in polo.
Arms, Wrists Like Medwicks.
Bradman is clean-cut, rather
handsome fellow of only medium
height and with no bulk to speak of
but he has arms and wrists like Ducky
Medwick and his eyes are marvelously
keen.
1t is no cinch to clout cricket ball
when it is bowled by man who knows
his business. The bowler takes a run
Of 20 or 80 yards, and when a speed
bowler turns the hard, red-colored
pellet loose it has plenty zip. Tests,
in fact, have tended to prove that only
the fastest baseball pitchers can put
on as much smoke.
Furthermore. the cricket ball hits
the turf just short of or about even
with the batsman and has to be hit
quick. A good bowler can make it
take some very silly bounds, and can
make you feel equally silly when you
try to smite it. Yet Bradman stands
up there hour after hour, wearing out
relays of bowlers, and when he finally
flubbS one it's safe bet that Australia
have won, as is the correct cricket
grammar.

to constantly pack products of
identical quality in consecutive
years because of variation in
climatic factors. She is, how
ever, alert for changes in quality
or size which many producers
voluntarily make, after their
product has found favor with
the public, in order to increase
profits by decreasing produc-
ton costs. While there is a
slight difference between yellow

the choice of color is a matter

seems, that a can of corn may

scalloped corn she should have

bly, the grocer asked her if she
