Non- Title Flight
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK. Jan. 7-Probably it only could happen here,
where the hilarious is commonplace and they'll overlook
setting down of e the writer wishes to
that Freddie Steele worlds mddeweght champion and Fred
The Washington times., 1938-01-07

in Europe as world champion, was
brought in to defend the title,
only the recognized champion in
this country, Steele, wasn't in
there. ApostoL went in, won by
a knockout-and isn't even the
challenger for the title tonight,
because they aren't fighting for
it. At this point, I might as well
make a clean breast of the matter
and admit that all I can make is
no sense out of everything.
PREVIOUS MEETING
The West Coast pair has met
before, when ApoStoli was as green
as crabapple and Steele won by
a technical knockout. Doubtless
they'll meet again after tonight,
this being the avowed intention Of
all concerned.
But if Apostoli is thinking Of a
title match next summer, he isn't
giving himself too much the better
of it tonight. He simply must win
this one against a man who has
licked him before or lose all chance
at Steele again-and for compare.

maybe I'm wrong, which, in truth,
would be no novelty.

KERNER RULES
LICENSING OF
BOOKIES ILLEGAL

CHICAGO, Jan. 7 G.N.S0.-The
shady army of Chicago's handbook
operators heaved contented sigh
today over the breakdown Of an
attempt to lift them into the class
of respectability.
There was an undoubted gleam
of gladness in their collective eye
over the ruling of Attorney Gen
eral Otto Kerner that the city's
controversial ordinance to license
horse race betting brokers was
unconstitutional.
His opinion meant that little if
any attempt will be made to en-
force the law until it can be tested
in court.
And the delay, possibly herald
ing. a complete washout of the
plan, came at a welcome time for
those in the betting business.
Within another five days the
"bookies" were scheduled to move
out of their back rooms and into
the front window class. To do so,
however, it was going to cost them
from $500 to $4,000 every six
months as a license fee.
Evidence that no more than q
handful liked the idea could be
seen in the scattered inquiries at
the city clerks office where up
to yesterday not a single "bookie''
had actually laid any money on
the line to do business legally.

WILSON FACES

PLAYS CHAMPS
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Open season on the inter:high
basketball bunting for 1888 Off
cially starts tonight when four Of
the six teams in the local ScholaS.
tic league battle in pair of games
in the Tech High gym, with the
first contest listed to get under
way at 1880 o'clock and the night
cap to move into view at the con-
clusion of the opening setto.
Mckinley Tech clashes with
Woodrow Wilson in the first joust
Of the race and the initial game
of the evening. Western plays
Central in the last half of the bill.
Western is the defending cham.
pion of the 1nter-high circuit, and
from preseason form, calibre Of
the players on hand for the title
dash, and general observations as
to the potency OF the remaining
five quintets, is a slight choice to
annex the local scholastic floor
crown for the second year in a
row.
LOST ONLY TO ALUMNI.
Therefore victory looms tonight
for the defending champions, who
in preseason battles have shown
up we'll, losing only to a strong
alumni team. The Georgetowners,
however lost their regular team Of
last season but have on deck such
strong reserves of the champion"
ship five, now regulars, as Irving
Needles, Len Stanton, Bill Swan,
son and Bob Holleran.
Like Western, Central will place
virtually a new regular quintet on
the floor. Graduation and other
forms Of eradication have wiped
clean the 1887 starting lineup, Of
the Mt. Pleasant team, and re.
serve material Of last season is
now occupying the starting roles.
Central tonight will probably use
John Tanning, Abe Generdson,
Archie Penage, Len sokol and

Of the title.defenders in this
battle, Wilson is a slight choice
over Tech.
Wilson to date has won all three
tune up games. shellacking Ana

Tech, on the other hand, which
failed to win a loop engagement
last year has played two games
this season, winning from Con-
zaga, but dropping a contest to
st. Johns.
Outstanding players in the
three victories Of the Presidents

CONCRETE AIDS
IRISH mailman
DEFEAT CREEK

A villain failed to crop up in
the main go Of Joe Turner's
weekly matfest in the Arena last
night. The main go featured an
Irishman and a Greek. Steve
Casey was the Erin Go Braugh
and Jesse James. no relation to
the bandit, was the Hellenic i'm
port. The Irisher won after an
adagio dance, so it is said in 24A
minutes. At 2014 minutes. the
Greek took flying leap through
the ropes and landed on his head
on the concrete floor. The floor
was not damaged.
Figuratively speaking, the turn
out was in the neighborhood of
1000 souls.
In the semi-windup, the man
agement brought on a fat man,
scaling 365 pounds. AS there are
365 days in a year, this gave the
fellow a pound day to start
with. But a pound day didn't
keep Billy Bartush away, as an
apple would do with a doctor.
UPSET DOPE WITH DRAW
So just to upset the dope the
players staged a 30-minute draw.
Incidentally the 365-pounder was
a gent named Tor johnson, ma
tionality unknown. It was in this
event that Benny Bortnick had
his weekly shirt torn. Someone
said he should carry watermelonS
in his pocket and sock these
things on the wrestlers' domes
when they start pulling other
guys shorts instead of their own
legs.
PUBLIC HEROES BOTH
AL Pereira, the Portuguese, took
a fall out on Hans Won Blum
berg. Both were heroes. The
end Of Public Hero No. 2 came
after IA minutes Of play by way
of a flying scissors.
In the earlier preliminar1es
John Grandovich, badman, staged
draw with Charley Strack over
the Commute route. Strack
turned hero before he came Out
of the dressing room.
Mike Kilonis, another villain
flattened Tony Siano, the former
Fordham football great, after 21%
minutes. Siano had the ball or
the one-yard line three times dur
ing the battle, but just COULDN'T
push it across. Early in the thirc
period he nearly pushed himself
out of the ring. After the mater

Today's hand is good example
Of player going crazy. South was
justified in taking out his partners
first double, since he was certain he
could make four spades. But when
his partner doubled for the second
time, he should have let well enough
alone.
Actually five spades is a laydown,
but South managed to lose the
hand. The queen of hearts was
opened. Declarer won with dummy's
ace, discarded a club, then played
the ace and q small diamond. A
heart was now led. Declarer ruffed,
trumped his losing diamond in
dummy and played four rounds Of
trumps. He now had a pretty good
count on the hand and realized
that East held but one club and
arbitrarily decided that this must
be the king. Accordingly he played
his low club, went up with the ace
and now, when the king failed to
drop, was down one.
The simple finesse in clubs would
have made the hand; or If declarer
really wanted to play it safely, he
could have cashed the club ace
before drawing trumps. Then he
could lead a small club up to
dummys queen. This play would
have allowed for either a singleton
king or the actual distribution.
