to 1t that the Negro wore only the
stipulated quantity of bandage and tire
tape around his fists instead of the
lethal dose he had been administering
to prior opponents.
Some say that Schmeling hasn't
been properly appreciative of his
American managers efforts. He is
popularity believed to have chopped
Jacobs share of his purses in recent
years right down to the roots. But
there can be no doubt now that he
wants Joe welding water bottle In
his corner when he faces Louis again.
1t is seldom that the German works
himself into such a positive state of
mind about anything. 1t possible is
accounted for by the fact that he had
reached top condition too soon, and is
on edge. From here on he is going to

once-over, and everybody was pretty

TOP D. c. BOWLER
Gochenour, Rated Ninth, Is
Only Newcomer to Get
in Select Ten.

While the name of Astor Clarke of
Arlington. Va, today stood out in bold
relief as Washington's No. / bowler for
the fourth consecutive season, prob
ably the most pleased Capital duck
pinner is Carl Gochenour, the lanky
Arcadia team shooter. who was chosen
for the first time among the ranking
10 Of the District
Meeting last night, the Washington
City Duckpin Association Ranking
Committee unanimously voted Clarke
top honors for the second straight
year. Gochenour. who distinguished
himself throughout the season, was
named ninth. He received two votes
for eighth and six for ninth.
Perce Wolfe of the Occidental team,
who in 1896 had given Clarke close
call for the No. l spot. again was
chosen for second place, with six votes
for second and two votes for third.
His total of 70 points was 4 more than
received by Joe Harrison, former No. l
bowler Of the country. who polled two
for second place and six for third.
Occidentals Get Four.
Fourth, fifth and sixth places were
unanimous choices when Ed Blakeney,
the Heurich Brewers team captain;
Bill Krauss of Occidental Restaurant
and Ollie Pacini of Northeast Temple
were named in that order.
The champion District League Occi-
dentals for the third year in a row
placed four bowlers in the select circle
when Joe Freschi received all eight
votes for tenth position. However, the
Heurich Brewers, runners-up in the
all-star circuit, gave the Fred Buch-
holz outfit bid for honors when Paul
Jarman and Hokie Smith were named
for seventh and eighth.
The committee, with a tendency to
give league bowling more weight than
special events and tournaments, was
composed of Perce Elicit. president of

SPECULATOR, N. Y. June 7.-One
arrives here in the high Adirondacks
just in time to learn that Max
Schmeling is preparing to make a
ringing personal appeal to the New
York State Athletic Commission to
restore a seconds license to Joe Jacobs.
Max has decided that he wants his
manager of record in his corner when
he starts taking pot shots at Joe
Louis again on the night of June %
at Yankee Stadium.
He plans. he says. to button hole
Brig. Gen. John j. Phelan. chairman
of the commission, when the latter
makes an expected appearance here
in the next few days If that doesn't
work he's in 4 humor to go higher,
maybe to Gov. Herbert Lehman, even.
AS matters stand, Jacobs wouldn't
be permitted within yelling distance of
Max's corner on the night of the big
scrap. He lost his seconds diploma
during the past winter when the COM
mission developed a temporary peeve
at Tony Galento, who also is managed
by the Muscle"
Joe recently made an unsuccessful
attempt to gain reinstatement.
Joe has been in the Schlager's
corner in all of his fights in America.
In fact, the highly voluble little man.
ager was given $3.50 credit the night
in 1890 that Max won the heavy
weight title from Jack Sharkey on a
foul at Yankee Stadium. 1t was he
who swarmed into the ring and con-
vinced Referee Jim Crowley that Max
had been swatted beneath the belt

A small, freckle-face, red-headed
youngster who entered The Star ten
mis- tournament as an unknown guam
tity without and kind Of record to
base his standing upon has bloSsomed
overnight into the tourney sensation
and now rules a prohibitive choice to
win the boys championship.
He is 14-year-old Bobby Bensinger,
who learned his tennis at the Takoma
Park Playground and whose chief
aim Of getting 'em back" accounted
for the stunning defeat Of the boys
favorite, Maurice Cowan, yesterday
and sent young Bensinger into the
final round.
Now, 1t develops, Bobby played q

TT was only in the playground
tournament, though" Bobby says.
did you beat anyone worth while?"
only Walden in the quarter
finals and Richardson in the semi
finals"
Modest About His Feats.
Walden happens to be the boy who
won The Stars boys championship
last year, while Richardson was a
semi-finalist. When asked why he
hadn't entered the city tournament
before, Bensinger replied casually, II
just didn't think about it,"
His match yesterday with Cowan,
played day ahead of schedule, found
Bensinger romping to a victory in
straight sets, 6--4, 6-4. To say that
his opponent was as surprised as he
was detected is expressing it mildly.
Cowan had been touted as the most
promising boy player in the city and
an odds-on choice to win his first
major title. But Bensinger's penchant
for getting his racket on everything
Cowan sent over produced the biggest
upset of the tourney to date.
Bensinger doesn't play again until
Thursday, when he makes his bid for
the boys singles title. His opponent
will be the winner of tomorrow's semi
final between Eddie Richardson and
Chandler Brossard.
Juniors in Semi finals.
Meanwhile, the junior entrants were
playing their singles semi-fnals to-
day. David johnson. the outstanding
favorite and only non-scholastic en-
trant left. was to meet Grant Wilmer
Of st. Adams, while Miguel Nunez,
the second seeded contestant from
Western High School, was to meet
Leonard Sokol of Central, who is
seeded third.
Winners Of these matches also will
clash Thursday. when both singles
championships will be decided in the
form Of titular double-header, the
junior finalists playing Immediately
after the final boy match.
The doubles crown will not be de-
cided until Friday. Although the
boys teams are in the semi-fnals.
the juniors are round behind and
it is planned to play both doubles
finals on the same day. According
to such program, semi-finals in
Junior doubles will be played tomor-
row or Thursday. The boys doubles
semi finals are being played today,
with Cowan and John Lincoln meet
ing Bill Kerr and David Smith and
Brossard and Richardson meeting
Ranlet Lincoln and Pat Sterling.
Busy in Doubles Today.
Left in the junior doubles were
nine teams. but only four were to re-
main after today's matches. The
"double-up' process was to involve
the winner of the match between
Nunez and Tom Walden and John
Hutchinson and David Kay, who

Upon completion of that match to-

NO ABRAMS PUFF
IN YAROSz F|ASCO
D. c. WeIter's Win Tainted
With Former Champion =
Taking Near-Dive.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Local boxing WINGED today as
George Abrams indexed a victory over
feeble former world middleweight
champion. for the triumph was tainted
In the optics of too many ringworms.
Teddy Yarosz may or may not have
taken an inglorious dive in losing a
split decision 10-rounder last night at
Griffith Stadium, but he hardly was
overly enthusiastic about proceedings
at any stage.
If I didn't know the boy I'd say
he threw the fight" offered Raw
Arcel, who trained Yarosz, in the
dressing room following the dull af-
fair. There was evidence not many
fans have become acquainted with
Teddy, for they were more brutal in
estimates of his efforts.
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn's meal
ticket is preserved. but at what ex-
pense will be difficult to determine
until Abrams fights again. While
that victory will look rather impress
sive in the record book it hardly will
serve to entice crowd here. for there
is little glory attached to whacking
human punching bag and certainly
no great joy in paying for the privilege
OF witnessing such a sorry show.
Abrams Still Mystery.
Yarosz simply didn't have it If
he executed dive it hardly could
be classed as a swan, for it wasn't
that graceful. His deliberate fouling.
in the eyes of many. was insurance
against winning, for on four occasions
points were sliced from his total for
hitting on the break and heeling.
Abrams status remains a mystery
for, while he put forth smart fight
there is nothing significant about the
victory. Yarosz has a crisp, even
vicious, left hook, but he refused to
unveil that, among other things. If
that was an attempt at fighting,
buzzards probably are lowering over
Teddy today, for he was fit specimen
for wake.
AT the tender age of 10, George
doesn't figure to set the fistic world
ablaze, but he still hasn't convinced
neural fans he isn't target for a left
hook and right cross. He had a recep-
tive target in Yarosz. but he lacked
authoritative punching Teddy meant
no more to Georges ring development
than any of the previous palookas
paraded before Abrams, If as much.
for some of the others at least were
willing
Nothing to Please Fans.
There now is considerable doubt if
Abrams ever will prove highly popular
here. Only $500 spectators cared to
view him in action in what figured
to be a real test and following that
fiasco there are at least 1000 less. 1t
was no fault of Abrams the bout was
dull, but repeat customers aren't
predicated on dreary performances.
There is talk of rematching Abrams
and Yarosz in Pittsburgh, Teddy,s
home town, although local fans prefer
it would be removed to a spot even
more distant. After all, there was
