The Metropolitan Washington

Strike to decide what action should
be taken following last nights flare
up at the Lucky Strike, when 30
colored pin settlers walked out after
demanding an increase of 33ls per
cent in pay.
They insisted upon receiving 4
cents a game instead of the present
3 cents.
Without warning or making previ-
Gus demands, the pin boys timed
their strike few minutes before the
members of four leagues, including
AZ teams. were to start rolling.
J. w. (BilD Wood, superintendent
Of the Lucky Strike. reaching the
scene after most of the bowlers
either had left or were setting up
pins for each other, said the pin
boys had been unfair by not confer

Addressing them ir the pin boys
room, he stated that as member of
the operators association, of which
he is president, he was powerless to
pay above the scale agreed upon by
the association. He told them that
the operators association would be
glad to meet with a committee of
pin boys, one from each establish
ment in the city, to thrash out the
matter
In pre-depression days the pin
boys received cents a game. This
was cut to cents in 1882
Although crippled last night, the
Lucky Strike will operate as usual
tonight with the aid of extra pin
boys culled from other pin plants.

ON FIGHT FANS
BY BOB ADDIE

Goldie Ahearn has had so much
rain peep in on his prospective
boxing carnivals we are begin
ming to suspect he is Mr.. Noah in
disguise. We hear there's a move
on to make Ahearn a commodore.
He can open up a branch office
for the Potomac because enough
water has fallen on his shows to
turn the affairs into regattas.
In case you didn't suspect by
now, Pete Scalzo and Tony Dupre
will renew their postponed date
to fight eight rounds or less at
Griffith Stadium tonight. Every
thing was set yesterday. The sun
was shining like our blue serge
suit; the birds were singing sweet
ly, and the day was perfect.
THEN, THE RAIN
Then, about 8 o'clock, the bot
tom fell out Of the sky and an
ocean of water doused whatever
hope Ahearn had of staging the
show. Goldie sat patiently by his
telephone while he tried to cajole
the skies into declaring an arm
istice. But the heavens kept cry
ing like an ingenue in her first
sad role, and the bout was post
poned.
Scalzo and Dupre each weighed
1875 pounds yesterday and thus
qualified for the second chapter
of Ahearn'S elimination series. 1t

after spending the Mats off-day

with the idea of pitching Chase
insofar as his pitching problem is
becoming more and more perplex-
ing as the season moves on. The
Nat manager said, however, that
he wouldn't make up his mind
until this afternoon when he looks
over his pitching pets in uniform.
Jimmy Wasdell will not return
to his first base job if Eisenstat
pitches for the Tigers, for Harris
will adhere to his policy of using
his righthanded hitting strength
against lefthanded pitching
therefore, Zeke Bonura will once
again return to first base.
For the first time in five days
the Mats will have their full
strength, for Cecil Travis, spiked
in the Cleveland series, will re-
turn to the lineup with his pro-
lific bat.
Travis absence has been a
lamentable one during Washing
tons recent struggles, for, Wash
ington's six-game winning streak
ended when Travis was injured
and the Mats went on to drop
three of their past five contests.

NEW YORK, July 10 Q.N.s.).
Weighing 14o pounds, and, therefore,
close to the welterweight division limit,
Henry Armstrong insisted today that
he still could make the featherweight
limit of 1875, as he began training for a
title bout with Lightweight Champion
Lou Ambers. After that he is going
to train for featherweight defense.
That's all very confusing. But the
point is, the little brown man from Los

Angeles already is the welterweight
and featherweight champion and he
expects to defeat Ambers on August
10 and thus become the first man in
pugilistic history to hold three titles at
the same time. The odds already favor
him by as much as 8 to 1.
TO DEFEND TITLE
Moreover, according to Armstrong
himself, he will do the unheard of in
September and, at Los Angeles, make
a defense of that featherweight crown,
which he won last fall by way of start

the moment. AS a welterweight, how
ever, he always will be spotting op-
ponents much the best Of it in weight
He is at his best around 133, or IA
pounds below the welter limit.
Thus, for Ambers, he will need only to
take off a few pounds to make the
lightweight limit of 1876, then take off

His opponent in the coast battle will
be the outstanding challenger available
at the moment. After that he will be-
gin defending the welterweight crown
at regular intervals and the lightweight
title, too, if he wins the latter.
The amazing little fighter who can

FAIRLY TOUGH JOB
He expects to belt Ambers right out
OF there next month, but thinks it will
be fairly tough job. Today he re-
vealed two things that may be signifi-
cant, according to the way you inter
pret them.
In the first place, he feels that while
Ambers can't take as much punishment
as Barney Ross, the former will be
harder to tag and therefore may stretch

the fight out several rounds farther
than most observers expect it to go.
He then revealed that during the last
few rounds against Ross, from whom he
won the welter title recently, he took it
easy, because the whiting, battered and
dazed champion had bad eye.
Ross was SO far gone and so game
that quit hitting him on his bad eye
and quit slugging him as I did in the
early rounds for fear I would injure
him, and just coasted on in with a
decision" said Henry.

Detroiters Hope to

BY Staff Correspondent


To be or not to be in fourth
place is the question that pains
Stanley Raymond Harris this
afternoon as Detroit's Tigers open
their three-game warfare at Grit
fifth Stadium.
The Tigers, having trailed the
Mats in the league standings most
Of the year, hope to whack off a
312-game deficit which separates
the Cochrane crew from Washing
tons fourth place. A clean sweep
of the three-game series will boost
Detroit within a half game of the
Mats. A loss of the series to the
Mats will impair Detroit's chances
of moving up.

the Mats not long ago in Detroit,
