RODIER'S STARS
AWAIT BATTLE.

Clark Griffith's ball park pi-
nochle champions will turn bowl
ers tonight to back up a challenge
directed at Henry TAFT Rodier's
Thursday Nighters who, it seems,
have prodded the hirelings of the
Old Fox in a match tonight at
the Lucky Strike in order to score
victory whether it be at cards
or knocking down the elusive
naples.
But before the duckpin travesty
gets under way at 7:45, it is likely
that the Old Fox, up to his old
tricks, may endeavor to swing a
deal with Rodier for the services
of a promising bowler by the name
of Sam Rice, who he suspects as
being his once star outfielder, to
sort of even up matters.
The pinochlers will look to
Bucky Harris, Griff's first lieuten-
ant, and Charlie O'Connell to
bear the brunt of the battle. Har-
ris, during the days when DOME
Bush vas the Washington man
ager and a bowler of parts, used
to trim Bush with regularity.
O'Connell, long bowler, once won
the Washington City doubles
championship with Al Mcdonald.
From Everett Eynon, Freddie
Baxter, Handsome Fitzgerald, Bick
Norman, Paul Townsend, Mike
Martin, Arch Mcdonald and Ball
Club Secretary Ed Eynon the
Old Fox will pick the remainder
of his team.
Claiming victory before rolling
a ball, Henry TAFT will send to
the firing line such well-known
veteran bowlers as DR.. Tom Rice,
DR.. Clyde Shade, Harold "Biggy''
Supplee, ThurstoA Furr, DR.. Tom
Webb, Ralph Little, DR.. Walton
Schultze, Dorie Gruver and How
ard Ortel.

MANN|NGP P|NMEN RIGGS PLAYS
HOLD LOOP LEAD WILMER HINES

The Manning Club in the Ross
lyn Independent Bowling League
seems unable to drop a match.
Taking the lead shortly after the
opening gun, these lads have
heightened their lead each week
until now a comfortable six games
separate them and the second
place Quality Shop. Manning's
latest victim, the Kingan team,
lost two games to the leaders and
its hopes of threatening this club
suddenly dimmed.
Diamond Service, although tied
for fourth place, looms as tough
obstacle. A clean sweep over Ar.
lington Pharmacy gave the cab
boys their eighth victory in their
last nine games.

came down to one of those

Rouge ct Noir and some other

Anyhow. Rouge ct Noir and

Charlie and 1 stood in the club

Matisi wasn't holding in the

proved nothing. One instant
before the camera shutter
clicked, Matisi might have been

MARYLAND RING
TEAM TO BATTLE
duke SATURDAY
BY CHICK KENNY


College boxing fills the air to-
day as Maryland and university
publicity arrives in the mail, with
the "inside" dope on the young
ringmen who will open up the
local collegiate wars in this ter
ritory Saturday night at College
Parks Ritchie Coliseum.
From Major Harvey L. Miller,
secretary of the District Of Co
lumbia Boxing Commission and
coach of the Marylanders, comes
the information that his Terrapin
clouterS are not so hot, to put 1t
mildly. The Major lost nine mem
bers Of last years undefeated and
Southern Conference champion
ship team including such stand
oyS as Ivan Nedomatsky, Tom
Birmingham, Bill Shegogue and
Mike Lombardo, and in their
places have come former drug
clerks, piano players and the like
several Of whom swing from the
portSide.
LOST STARS
But then Duke University lost
several star performers in Capt.
Jack Kneipp, Ray Matulewicz, Al
Mann and several other heavily
counted upon reSineers, accord
ing to the Duke tom-tom releases.
So all in all, the match Satur-
day night, from the respective
coaches points of view may be a
surprise for both the Major and
Coach Add Warren, of Duke.
AS far as college ring follow
erS are concerned, both teams will
stage grand, giltedged perform
ance Saturday night.
Duke is a trifle more expert
enced at this date due to the fact
that the Blue Devil team has won
two joustS so far this season, top
ping Appalachian State and
South Carolina University by 5-3
decisions. Maryland'S youngsters
have been swinging at each others
beaks since November for mitt ex.
perience.
TROUBLE AHEAD
The Blue Devils will bring to
Washington a prize package in
Danny Farrar, Southern Confer
ence and national intercollegiate
welterweight champion in 1886.
Last year he was runner-up in
both flights, and since then, tax
ing on bit more avoirdupois, is
expected to stack up against Mary
land in the 165-pound division.
Farrar, incidentally, is captain of
the Duke team this year.
Another lad who is expected to
give Maryland trouble is Orville
Vincent, hght-heavyweight for the
past two seasons and who fought
second fiddle to the great Matule-
wicz, 1887 Conference titleholder.
Vincent learned plenty as an un-
derStudy to the champ and bids
fair by his experience in work
outs to turn in a good job each
match this season. He will prob
ably draw Ed Lloyd of the Terp
football team for his opponent
Saturday night, while Farrar is ex-
pected to tackle Bill johnson.
BEATEN IN FINALS
Maryland is blessed with the
services of Benny Alperstein, Ma
tional collegiate and Southern
Conference runner.up last season
in the 135-pound division. In
cidentally, Jack Kneipp, the Duke
sharpshooter, defeated Benny in
the Conference finals.
An international flavor has been
added to the Duke-MaryIand mitt
match with Faison Jordan, 1885,
FOUNDER, who probably will face
Bob Bradley, a piano player (not
mover). Jordan halls from Shang-
hal, China. This is his first season
on the team.
