'SIMMONS-GULLI
BOWLING MATCH
ON CHARITY CARD

An Ida Simmons-Lorraine GULL
singles match will be one Of the
headline features Of the Presi-
dents infantile paralysis fund
bowling show, to be staged Janu-
ary % at Convention Hall, was the
announcement coming today from
Bill Wood, of the Lucky Strike, di-
rector of the duckpin carnival.
Washington'S bowling queen, who
lost he bowling diadem to the
Norfolk marvel several years ago,
has twice been defeated by the
No. girl roller in matches that
we're attended by packed galleries
last season at Silver Spring and
Lucky Strike.
Harry Wolfe, Dixie Pig duck
pinner, had the glare of bowling's
busy spotlight turned on himself
today by virtue of his bang-up
AIS set at Northeast Temple last
night when he tackled together
games of 1876, 1873 and ISL. The
Senators were back III first place
of the Northeast Temple Major
League as a result of three wins
via the forfeit route with Bright
Star Liuor dropped to the runner
up spot by losing the odd one to
Acme Storage.
Earl MsPhilomy, the brightest
of all duckpin stars decade ago,
is in the limelight following his
record season set Of 40, in the
Graphic Arts League at the Lucky
Strike. Judd & Detweiler held to
first place by sweeping Graphic
Arts Press with Progressive Print
ing moving to a tie for second
place by tripping Ransdell twice.
Verle Ward, leading the Romans
to a 2-1 win from the Incas with
a 355 set, failed to cause half the
excitement in the Procurement
League that was created when the
Colonials bumped the MoorS out
of first place with a sweeping top
team total of 1872. Today the
Tudors are holding the top rung
as result of winning two from
the Orientals.
The pennant race in the What's
In a Name League was intensified
when Standards, rolling high
counts of 517-1,508 whitewashed
the leading w. A. C. S. with Ann
Smiths 1877 and Hortella RoSen-
berger's 321 featured. Mines
gained tie for the lead by taking

skirmishes. Mayme F.eharty,

MARSHALL and
C. U. SQUARE OFF

Only one college basketball game
is listed on the local floor card to-
night. The floundering Catholic
University cagers take on the
strong John Marshall quintet of
East Orange, N. j., starting at
BIS O'Clock. The C. U. freshmen
are listed to play in a preliminary
game, starting at 7 o'clock.
Tonight's battle marks the first
of four hard games for the Car
dinaI sharpshooters listed for this
week. On Thursday night c. U.
opens on the road, battling pow
erful st. Thomas quint at Scran-
ton, Pa; then moves to Villanova
for a Friday tilt; and winds up
Saturday at Philadelphia for a
game with st. Joseph's College.
The game with the Saints was
originally scheduled as part of a
doubleheader in Rochester, N. Y,
but late last week the arrange
mentS were cancelled.
With four games listed for the
Cards this week, Wayne Ambrose,
leading high scorer of the District,
has an excellent chance of break
ing the hundred mark in points.

AbrawS Easily DefeatS
Out-of- Shape F1nnegan

George Abrams, the local mid
dleweight, scored another ring
victory at Turner's Arena last
night when he outpointed Red
Finnegan, a 'longshoreman from
New York. Finnegan apparently
did his road work running after
freights, and worked his arms bal
ancing peas on his knife. He was
hog fat but tougher than a hogs
nose.
Abrams belted Finnegan around
no little, but could not bring him
down. It was the local boys least
impressive performance. Abrams
developed the habit of leading
with his right hand, and this is
q suckers trick in any company.
Finnegan landed repeatedly
with a clubbing sort Of left hook,
and Abrams was a wide open
target for the blow. However, de-
spite his errors of omission, and
the flagrant error of commission
that will get him badly licked one
of these notwithstanding with his
right hand-Abrams clearly was
the better man.

crew of Lester Patrick's Blue
Shirts, Ching was a prime favor
ite before he had played a half
dozen games in the Garden.
The customers mixed their
cheers with boohs during that
first season, for Johnson was a
rough, tuogh guy, who loved to
watch those smaller players
hit him and bounce back. And
when the larger ones came
along-well, he loved to watch
them hit and bounce back, too.
And If they didn't, as occa-
sionally happened, and it was
Ivan who bounced, nobody ever
heard him squawk.
GAVE IT AND TOOK IT
He could give it. He could
also take it. He gave it. He
took it. And that was that.
How many times he was hurt
and patched up is an old story.
If Doc Clauss, the Ranger
medico, never had another
patient, he would have had a
fairly active career just prun-
ing and pasting and putting
Ching together again.
The doctor got to know him
so well that he worked him like
a jig.saw puzzle. He would get
him onto the operating table
and set about fitting one loose
piece here, another there, and
pretty soon out would come
Ching all ready for battle again.
HASN'T SEEN HIM ENOUGH
I don't know how much help
he has been to Red Dutton and
the star shirts since he moved
his skates and pads over from
the Rangers dressing room this
fall. haven't had a chance
to see enough games to find
out.
Just knowing Ching, how
ever, I have a hunch that Red
and his players like him out
there in front Of the net in the
tight clutches.
His dogs may have grown a
little weary and some OF the
spring may have gone out of his
legs, which is where almost all
athletes first feel the clammy
hand of time, but I'll bet he
winds up in front Of that puck
more often than not.
DON'T OUTFOX HIM
Those younger fellows may
outfoot him. Sight unseen, I'll
wager they don't outfox him, or
push him around when he gets
to where they are. He knows
the answers even though he
may not be the first bright
young man to be the blackboard
any more.
He's been a stalwart Of the
fine game of ice hockey from the
first, Ching has So when my
friend, Ford Frick, hands him
down his walking cane this
evening, let's let him know it
with our rousing cheers.
Nicer guys and better sports
men don't come ON skates,
afoot, or horseback, or even in
airplanes. Ivan was always in
there strivin'.

LIKE NO OTHER CHEERS
When johnson would grab
that disc around his own net
and set forth on one Of those
solo flights of his, the yell that
would go up was like no other
cheering heard during the
game. Hearing it from the
foyer, you could say and be
sure you were right: There
goes old Ching"
The fans used to think that
fixed grin he wore even in the
hottest melee was a sign OF
good nature. Rival players
knew better. That's an uncon-
scious smile that comes from
having his jaw broken too often
and to much hemstitching done
on his features.
He can smile all right and
often does. But he isn't, wasn't,
couldn't be, a smiling athlete
when the going was rough.
Winning games was a much
too serious business with john

stars, he never cared in a big
way for losing.

FRED BEAL JOINS
 CONVICT GROUP

Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 17-(UP)- Fred Erwin Beal, longtime fugitive from North Carolina, became con- vict No. 34722 at State Prison to- day, serving a 1T to 20 year sentence imposed in 1929 for conspiracy to murder Police Chief O. F. Aderholt of Gastonia.
 Beal entered prison yesterday. He surrendered voluntarily at Attorney General A. A. F. Seawell's office. His surrender ended a nine-year search which began when he forfeited $5,OOO bond and fled to Russia.
 Three members of non-partiSan committee for Beal's defense re- mained in Raliegh, announcing i'm mediate steps would be taken to "vindicate and free" the 41-year-old former Communist organizer.
 Gov. Clyde R. Hoey, who alone can release Beal from prison by parole or pardon, declared their present efforts were absolutely useless"
