Washington Rooters Con Take It
Wait 3 Hours for Last Players to Arrive

Washington sports lovers have
ever had a reputation for be-
ing good losers.
They can take their athletic
gloom or their joy.
They proved it at Union Sta
ton last night when they
waited over period Of three
hours until the several fog
bound trains rolled in out of the
dreary night with the Redskins
themselves, scattered among the
many sections.
The final parcel of players,
Red" Krause and Vic Carroll
included, unburdened their
weary bones from the very last
special arriving in Washington
at 1923 a. m.
KrauSe was cheered by a
500 who had waited for the last
of his number to arrive, and
received a hearty embrace from
his wife.

pretty spouse, Corrine Griffith.

They positively raved about how
a special subway train met them
smack dab in Pennsylvania Sta
ton, New York, and whirled them
up to 155th Street and the Polo
Grounds, where they trapSied into

the 60-piece Redskin band.

All hands were home and in bed
by midnight, so that you would

Hail to the Redskins" was the
anthem of the carriers through
out their trip, and their young
lungs shouted it just as vocifer-

as they did before.
At the New Yorker several
prominent guests were introduced

eleven
WINS,ALL-STARS
RECEIVE TROPHY
BY PAUL BEACH

Although the Police Boys No.
4 Club eleven won Washington'S
first Charity Bowl game, 20. the
Northwest All-Stars today have
the double satisfaction Of being
awarded the Rotary Clubs gold
trophy and of knowing that they
thrilled approximately 1000 fans
who turned out for the Griffith
Stadium battle by staging five
courageous goal-line stands.
The story of the game Is,
apparently, one in which a hard
fighting eleven necessarily turned
back a club whose superiority is
most clearly demonstrated by
eight first downs against one and
80 yards by rushing as compared
to 10.
Despite the lop-slded statistics,
the slim winning margin came
only when, after the All-Stars had
been thrown for two lengthy
losses, Johnny Cooper juggled q
bad pass from center and was
hemmed in by onrushing No. 4
players. He attempted an aerial
to get rid of the ball, but officials
ruled the ball down, scoring an
automatic safety and the pair OF
winning points.
A reasonable fact, considering
the fierceness of the play, is the
lone 5-yard offside penalty that
took place during the entire
melee.
Of the five desperate rallies
thrown up by the losers, only one
came in the first half. The Stars
held on their own II after the
police mites had taken the open
ing kickoff and started a deter
mined drive goalward.
In the last quarter, the 100
pound champs were held off four
times within the 10-yard line, once
on the 3-yard marker with four
downs to cross the final stripe.
During the season, the new
Charity Bowl champions won nine
games and the championships Of
two leagues. All proceeds of yes
terday's tilt go to the Community
Chest.

The reports were circulated as
the Giants Bill Terry was reported
ready to pick a manager for New
Orleans. The post was made va

Gilbert to Nashville.
The Pelicans are now controlled
by Seymour Weiss.
Night ball again broke into the

Fifteen BOUTS
SCHEDULED FOR
GOLDEN CLOVES
BY HOWARD JACOBS

The working committee OF the
sixth annual Washington Herald
Times Golden Gloves tournament
today announced the addition OF
three bouts to Wednesday nights
offering at Turner's Arena. This
will bring the number of bouts to
is for the third round of the anna
teur classic.
Carroll Wright, hard-hitting 1887
lightweight champion, heads the
battle list, facing Marion Pulzone,
tough Alexandrian, in the first
defense of his crown.
HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH
The first heavyweight match of
the tourney is also on the sched-
ule, bringing together Basil Har-
ris, 200-pound Georgetown stu
dent, fighting unattached. and
Clarence Irwin, 202 pounds, of the
Pete's A. C. Both are reported to
be pretty handy with their dukes,
and figure to make it close and
interesting contest.
The conqueror of Mike dig"
Eslin, Eddie Stoneman, comes back
for a second shot, encountering
Billy Miller, of the Merrick Club.
The latter is a brother of Buster
Miller, who is defending his 1876
pound senior title.
BROTHERS IN ACTION
The Mancini brothers, Johnny
and Nick, both representing the
Pete's A. c., will be seen in action.
Johnny, who tackles Don Tucker
the National Guard, will be max
ing his debut, while Nick goes
after his second victory against
Henry johnson, unattached. They
are both entered in the 147-pound
novice class, and it would be an
embarrassing situation if they
should sweep their end of the
draw and end up in the final
round. If this should occur, they
will have to have it out, regard
less.
Tickets, on sale at Joe Turner's
downtown ticket office, are NOV
ing at rapid pace, and it is ex-
pected that another banner crowd
will turn out. Tickets are priced
at 40 cents, general admission; IS
cents, ringside, and 10 cents for
all children under the age of IA.

FELL FOR A BICYCLE

w. s. Engle, 72-year-old California
visitor here, learned that forty
years is a long time to be Off OF q

some Of the knack-but let's go
back. Mr.. Engle, who left this week
for his home in Santa Anna, Cali
fornia, after visit at the Charles
Pendroy home here, saw an idle
bicycle on the lot the other day. He
clambered into the seat, after an
absence Of forty years, and chal-
lenged. the Pendroy children to a
race. AS the children looked back,
all they saw OF Mr.. Engle was a
tangle Of arms and legs flying
through the air. His wheel had
struck a sandy place on the pave
ment and thrown him. He wasn't
hurt, only his dignity, and he lost
the race. At one time though he
could claim a few antics on a
bicycle that others couldn't. That
was back when the two wheelers
were the only deviation from horse
and buggy travel. Now on his way
home, he has several bruises he
