Dir Dean
DisH11isses National
League Charges

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, April
1 Q.N.S0.-Jerome Dizzy" Dean,
the loquacious Cardinal hurler
who has been strangely silent of
recent weeks, perched on the table
in the Cardinal camp here today
and dismissed in salty terms, re-
cent charges the National League
rates below major league status.
Referring to a recent article
written by Waite Hoyt, Dizzy
opined that if Hoyt got as much
as $50 for it he was drawing more
than the combined worth of the
story and his value as player.
"All I got to say" said Dean,
lis that us Cardinals took four
out of six games from the Yam
KEGS in the St. Pete series with
the greatest of ease.
You don't see any National
LeaguerS shooting off their
mouths about the other league.
They don't even get our goats,
Except for one or two clubs
they belong in the minors them
selves.
If We meet the Yanks in the
next world series they'll be
lucky to get the two games we
gave 'em in St. Pete"

THOMAS, LOUIS

Cont. from First Sports Page)
Well, what of it? Didn't Max

my Braddock, only to get his
ears pinned back. When two
big men get in there swinging
at each other, anything can
happen. and Thomas has as
much cahnce as the next fel-
low"
Despite this optimism, Thomas
looks almost a set.up for Louis.
The big brown boy can knock out
anybody he can hit solidly, and
if he fails to land on Thomas,
then two and two don't make four.
Thomas style is to stand stol-
idly in the middle of the ring
swinging lefts and rights that are
plenty wide and none too fast.
Louis drives should whistle
around Thomas chin before the
Minnesotan can get his gloves up.
CHERISHED HOPE
Thomas is cherishing the hope
chat his durability will enable him
to pull this years boxing miracle
and come out a winner. He ad-
mittedly has a sturdy jaw. In
so fights over six years he only
has been stopped once, and that
was a technical kayo suffered at
the hands Of Max Schmeling.
Thomas, battered and bloody, was
on his feet at the finish.
The fact remains, however,
that if Something's blows could
send Thomas up and down like
a jumping jack, Louis shouldn't
have a great deal of trouble doing
the same.
Louis will get 40 per cent of
the currency collected by Mike
Jacobs from his paying guests to-
night, and this should run into
about $4,000. He already has
earned $4,000 in the ring, SO
even if somebody should drop an
anvil from the rafterS onto the
black boys chin, he at least won't
go to the poorhouSe.

CLARKE SEEKS
HIGH PIN TITLE

Astor Clarke, from whom few
choice duckpin championships
have escaped, today doomed as
the winner Of the District League
high-average title for the first
time.
Coming through when the pres
sure has been the greatest, the
nations No. bowler gained a
commanding lead of 81 pins last
night at Convention Hall when he
shot 400 for the second straight
week. He zoomed his average to-
1928 for 70 games to lead Perez
Wolfe his Occidental Restaurant
teammate, who shot 377. Although
picking up eigth pins to jump his
mark to 123-49, the suburbanite
rolled 80 pins under Clarke.
Ed Blakeney, the Heurich Brew
ers captain, who, with Joe Freschi,
another Occidental, have been
waging a four-man battle for the
coveted honors, Shrunk his aver
age to 1928 when he shot 356.
Freschi in turn shot 346 the hard
way. Starting with 148, the for
mer District League champion
rolled two games of SO, the last one
being flat. His average is 1882,
losing % pins.
The pennant chase witnessed
Georgetown Recreation taking the
measure of the leading OccidentalS
for the fourth time in a row, by
the 81 count. Ed Nash was the
star with 412. The Ed Schlegel
entry points with pride to their
being the only team in the circuit
to have the edge over the cham
pionS for the season.
Convention Hall winning four
games in a doubleheader match
with Tru-Blu are on the heels of
the Heurich Brewers for second
place. Paul Perkins shot 395 and
Tony Santini 4O3 to top off odd
game wins which moved the
Hallmen within two games Of the
runner-up spot.
Regal Neon Sign with Joe Har-
rison shooting 400 swept Heurich
Brewers. The defeat dropped
the Brewers out of the pennant
chase and endangered their run
ner-up position.
Bunker Hills leadership in the
American Legion League was re-
duced to only total pin advan-
tage when Lincoln, winning two
games from the front-runner,
deadlocked the Sisue in the won
and lost columns last night at
Lucky Strike. Nick ChaconaS, who
had seat on the front row with
the stars of over a decade ago,
featured the Lincoln victory with
top set of 1859. Nash dropped to
third place by losing a 81 decision
to Costello.
A 402 set gave Mutzbaugh OF
Progressive Printing the second
high season count in the Graphic
Arts League. Rolling games of 154,
100 and 100, Mutzbaugh enabled
last years champions to clinch
second place. Judd & Detweiler
sewed up the pennant race over
a month ago.
With only two weeks of the
season left, the Benmacks, sweep
ing Naval Medical Center, are
about home with the bacon in the
National Capital League. Four
games back is the defending cham
pion Daily News who lost ground
by dropping a tilt to Tribby's Real
Estate. Russ Hopkins 1888
was tops for the Benmacks while
John Chaney'S 152-382 was high
for the News.
Ben Hare, the loops president,
was the big shooter with 160-402
that paved the way for Jalepes'
81 victory from Washington
Canoe. Russ (Skeets) Parks, win
ner of the recent Bill Wood Dub
Sweepstakes, shot 144-384 as Red
Circle Food Shop trimmed Wash
ington Beef twice. AL Wright
hiked his top average to 1883
with 388.

Of course, all hands should

It was our good fortune, this
week, to happen upon the river
when conditions were nearing

period Of fishing, we put ashore
with a satisfactory showing Of
hand-length perch. Joe Fetch

table? Fresh perch, cornbread
and tender kale, cooked with a

since then surf casters have

Speed seems to be something Of
a keynote in the Characterization
of Mckinley Techs baseball ag-
gregation this year. According to
Coach Bruce Kessler, at least five
candidates for various positions on
the team are very fast.
This isn't the only reason that
the Trainers mentor appears to
have sort of inward exuberance
as he looks TO the coming compe-
tition, however, because he adds
that the hitting looks promising,
the catching is good, the pitchers
have a surprising amount of con-
troll for this time of the year and
the fielding, although hard to
judge on account of the bad con-
dition of the diamond, is bolstered
by some good throwing arms.
Plenty of reserve power is still
another factor which should make
the Techmen troublesome.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER

O. Will shad and herring bite on Q
hook?
A. 1t has been said that during the
early run of shad in the Susquehannah
River the fish have been known to take
small trout flies while going through
the rapids This is the only record
we've been able to unearth where shad
have actually been known to strike
In one instance we saw a shad hooked
through the mouth on a trot line ba1ted
with cut herring, but this was purely
accidental. As for the herring, he never
strikes, and the only known methods
of his capture is by traps, nets and
snagging.
Q. Do white perch hatch their spswnf
A. No. Like all fish that migrate,
they leave that to nature The fish that
come to local spawning grounds each
spring push up into fast water as far
as they can penetrate and there deposit
their eggs, leaving the swirling waters
to do the rest.
Q. Can fresh-water bass be purchased
in local markets?
A. Bass of both the big and little
mouthed varieties were ruled out of the
fish stalls some years back, and are not
in any way classed with the commercial
varieties, being strictly a sportsman's
fish. To put this ruling into effect IL
took the unanimous consent of Congress
