SUSPENSION IS
FEARED FOR MYEF

CONTINUED From 1St Sports Page)
shrapnel-like double of Sammy
Vests, to left. Chapman arched
a perfect peg to Catcher Wagner,
after momentarily juggling Vests
drive, and as Myer came into
home plate, he claims he was
blocked by the rookie Philadelphia
catcher. Myer made a perfect
three-point landing, DETECTING the
interfering Wagner into a cold
knockout.
SETTING POINT
At this Seething point Coach
Earl Mack, gangling son Of the
venerable Athletic pilot, came up
and glared threatingly at Myer,
but Umpire Cal Hubbard, an old
professional football blocking
back, got into the glaring himself
and calm was restored.
Meanwhile Wagner was able to
go to the showers under his own
steam, there to Soothe his cuts
and bruises. Coach Charley
Berry was pressed into service as
the AS receiver, what with the
only other two pitchers on the
team, Earl Brucker and Frank
Hayes, out of the game with in
jurieS.
Came the evil eighth inning and
Myer was back at the scene of the
collision in the capacity of a bats
man. Washington's own Sandlot
production, Pitcher Luther BUD
Thomas flicked a good imitation
of a bean ball toward Myers nose,
which tilted Myer backwards to
the ground. Buddy moseyed to
second on Vests third hit of the
day, a single to center, and then
eSsayed a voyage to third on a hit
and run play-unSucceSSfully.
CLOSE PLAY
Berry threw to Werber for the
out, the play naturally being close.
In the dust and CRIME of the i'm
pact, Buddy was seen to kick
viciously at Werber and, alas
alac-a.day, Werber retaliated by
pounding Buddy's torso with the
hand which contained the base
ball.
Catcher Berry by now had
entered the stage from back Of
home plate, as has Coach Clyde
Milan, from the third-base coach
ing coop.
Both the Washington and Phila-
delphia reserves drew UP from
their respective playing positions
and benches and one blow led to
another as epithetS mingled with
fists.

BIG CROWD SEES
GIRL GRAPPLERS|
STEAL THE SHOW
BY HOWARD JACOBS

It's doubtful whether Promoter
Joe Turner has any time to get
around to visit fortune tellers,
inasmuch as he is busy trying his
luck at fishing these days, but it
appears he has the inside track
on the wrestling situation of the
future. That is, at least in this
city.
Joe scored q major-strike in
presenting two special lady
matches on his program at the
opening of the indoor season at
the w Street Arena last night,
and near-capacity crowd turned
out for the developments.
Without doubt, the gals stole
the show, showing up the soealled
bruiserS Of the profession. The
reason is sweet and simple and
can be explained in just two
words THEY WRESTLE. OF
course it sounds away off line,
and perhaps there may be q few
tears shed by the Old Guard of
the mat fraternity, but if the boys
don't get down to some real
wrestling soon they are likely to
find themselves completely re-
placed by the weaker sex.
GIRLS TOP SHOW
The girls really carried the
mail last night, with Miss Dolly
Dalton, the Tigress of Atlanta,
stealing the show in her bout with
Billy Dewitt, who by way of men,
tioning it, lost in 1872 minutes.
The clincher was a back drop.
Miss Dalton, a neatly-trimmed lass
weighing 1876 pounds, turned in a
brilliant exhibition of the art of
wrestling.
Babe Murphy, Los Angeles, and
Jean Rogers, Chicago, met in the
preceding number, and though
their bout wasn't as polished as
Dolly'S they certainly gave the
fans their moneys worth. The
Babe scored a fall in 12la minutes,
using a merry-go-round spin as
the climax.
Villanious Ernie DuSek and
Hans Steinke came together in
the feature event, and though the
former prevailed in 80 minutes it
failed to come near the girl
matches for thrills, excitement
and actual wrestling.
SO-MINUTE DRAW
The other matches saw Emil
Dusek and Ed MeSke go to a 30
minute draw; Red Ryan flatten
Jack White, ex-bench warmer for
the New York Pro Giants, in 1872
minutes with a backdrop, and Ed
Newman upset Mike Mazurki,
who left Immediately for Texas.
Meske tried his best, but it seems
two have to play the game to
make it 60 over.
However, the girls did go over
and Promoter Turner is now
angling to pair the two winners
on next weeks card.

division being won by j. Natwick'
of Ellicott City, Md. This team
pulled $500 pounds, which is the
equivalent of starting a load of
1873 tons. There were four teams
in this division.
The crowd was amazed to watch
the team of w. Tenant of Street,
Md, pull $500 pounds with his
l0-year-old daughter, Elizabeth
Tenant, at the reinS. This team
was only a pair of four-year-oldS
and naturally was less experienced
than older horses. The crowd
enthusiastically applauded. the
child's handling of the team.

Following that game, Wash

DUPRE ARRIVES.
C Confident OF.
BEATING 'ARCHY'
BY HOWARD JACOBS


Arriving in town from New York
early this morning, Tony Dupre,
flaShy Manchester, N. H, boxer,
was scheduled to don the gloves at
the National Boxing Club this aft
ernoon for q long session as he
nears the completion of his train
ing grind for the joey Archibald
hereunder which headlines Mon
day nights attractive program at
Griffith Stadium.
On the threshold of the worlds
featherweight championship, Du-
pre-, who whipped Petey Scalzo in
his last start here, was highly
confident as he stepped off the
train at Union Station.
Il chased Archibald out Of
Providence, his home town, Is
months ago, and I'm going to
chase him out of Washington
Monday night" he exclaimed.
Il know joey has been going
great since the time I whipped
him, but I got his number and
that's all there is to it.
WISE TO TRICK
Il still don't believe there was
anything wrong with him when
he asked for a two-week post
ponement of the fight. That's
an old trick in the game, trying
to outsmart an opponent by
making him go stale overtrain-
ing, but I've been wised up to
that stuff. My manager care
fully planned my training since
the day of the postponement,
and right now I'm in the best
shape of my career. I've been
working outdoors back home,
and am down to 127 pounds.
A few more days of boxing and
I'll hit about 124 by Weigh-in
time"
And with that statement, the
little italian ace who, if victorl-
Gus, will gain the No. l ranking
of the National Boxing Associa-
ton, along with title recognition
in California and many big offers,
was off to his hotel to unpack and
continue with his work.
PLANS WORKOUT
Tony is expected to strut his
stuff before a gathering of 500
fans-capacity of the National
Boxing Club, located at SIG Morse
Street-starting at 2 p. m. today.
His manager has arranged for
several tough sparmates to be at
the gym, and Tony may unveil
some of the tricks" he has up his
sleeve to snap Archibald's lengthy
winning streak.
Before he left New York, the
Italian worked four rounds with
Lew Feldman, a Shifty, hard-Sock-
ing lightweight, and it is reported
he made the New Yorker do plenty
of back-pedalling.
ARRIVES SUNDAY
AL WE'LL, manager of Archibald,
wired Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn
that he will arrive here Sunday
afternoon with his charge. joey

SST EDWIN EX-EASTER CHICK,
Of Washington, D. c., and
thereabouts, being Of sound
4 mind and memory, and feeling
that I am about to die, do hereby
make, declare and publish this, my
last will and testament in the manner
following:
FIRST, to my assistant murderers,
the eager and too loving children. I
bequeath my forgiveness for having
brought me, through their affectionate
zeal, to such an untimely end. They
were not really to blame, and I trust
that they will not shed too many bitter
tears over my grave.
SECOND, to my real murderers, the
grown-ups who bought me for an Eas-
ter gift, with no more thought of my
future welfare than they would give to
handkerchief, leave, deyise and be-
queath, right heartily, guilty con-
science. Perhaps my martyrdom will
save another baby chicken or other
young pets from going through tor
ment at their hands next Easter. II
SO, shall not have died in vain.
THIRD. also to my murderers I
leave dying request. That they will,
in future. remember that life bought
for Is cents or less is as dear to the
one that owns 1t as any costing a
thousand times that sum. am as
loath to leave the green grass, the
sweet breezes and the warm sunlight
as any; had hoped to have a long
and happy life with the children who
loved me. But those hands, instead of
caring for me wisely, have caressed me
to my death.
FOURTH, to those adults with an
understanding love of animais IN their
hearts. I leave the picture of such as I
free and happy, playing about a
mother hen; for that matter, leave
them the joy of seeing all baby living
things in their natural state. 1t is a
vision that always pleases, and through
their interest they might be able to
make 1t reality more often.

The Problem
Parent Hard
OHandle
Mother Living With
Married Children
Is Worst of All.
BY DOROTHY DIX.

WE HEAR great deal nowadays
about problem children. Very
little is said about problem parents. Yet
there are just as many parents with
mental quirks who are antisocial and
cantankerous and who do not At in
with the pattern OF modern life as
there are children. Just as often the
children are as much at loss to know
how to deal with Father and Mother
as the parents are as how to handle
John and Jane.
Indeed the problem parents are an
even greater heartache and headache
to their families than the problem
children, because youth is more or less
pliable and there is always hope that
it may develop and outgrow its faults.
But the old are static. They are set
in their ways and opinions and there is
no possibility of ever changing their
attitude toward life.
AXE the case, for instance, of the
parents-and there are many of
them-who have the Lam -going-to-
keep-my- daughter -unspotted-from- the
world complex. They assume that
every little high school boy Is q deep
dyed villain who has nefarious designs
upon their daughter; that every frat
dance is an unspeakable orgy, and that
their own Sallies and NAMES are so
weak in moral stamina that they can't
be trusted out of their sight.
In order to protect their little lambs
from the ravening wolves in sleeps
clothing, that they conjure UP out of
their imagination, they refuse to let
their daughters have dates until they
are so old they would have to totter
out on a cane if they had one. If a
boy does come to the house, they give
him frosty welcome and sit within
earshot so they can hear everything
he says. If the girls go to a party,
papa takes them. They are not even
allowed girl friend unless the par
ents are certain she has no attraction
for the opposite sex. And they are
segregated from the young people of
their age as completely as if they had
the leprosy.
THE result is, Of course, that the
girls who are the victims Of their
overstrict parents are not only de-
prived of the pleasures that belong to
their time Of life, but they are doomed
to old maidenhood They never even
get to know boy. So what chance
have they of getting a husband? The
girls realize this. They know that
they are being cheated out OF the
best thing that life has to offer a
woman-love and marriage and home
and children-but they are powerless
to make their parents change their
moss-grown point of view.
The most tragic of all the problem
parents is, however, the old mother
who must go to live with her children
when the husband dies. and who
wrecks their homes by not being able
to adjust herself to a new way OF
living. She NEEDLES in everything.
She tries to boss everything. She
criticizes everything that is done diff.
ferently from her way.
And what's to be done about It?
Nothing. You could change the Rock
of Gibraltar sooner than you could
an old woman's habits Whatever
harm she does. mother can't be dis
ciplined or turned out of the house
she is destroying. And there you are
with the greatest mystery on earth
unsolved: What to do with a problem
parent? DOROTHY DIX.

mantle and utterly charming. Maybe
some women do. But I can tell them
right now that some women don't.

gentleman kissing her hand. She has
always heard that foreign men do that,
and she would be disappointed if some
foreign man didn't pull it on her some.
time.
But she doesn't expect it from a ma
tive son. Her first reaction is to draw
her hand away. Then she grows suspi-
cious. And by the time he has ac-
tually kissed her hand she has come
to the conclusion that he Is whacky.
She IS probably right, too.
Anyhow. that's the way some women
react. I just thought the men would
like to know. JEAN.
