Collegiate fistic supremacy of the
East and South will be settled to-
night at College Park when Mary

ence champions exchange wallops
with Army's unblemished Eastern
intercollegiate titleholders at 8
o'clock.
Maryland will enter the climaxing
scrap of its season with a deficit,
electing to forfeit the heavyweight
engagement rather than risk injury
to its representative against hard
hitting formidable Harry Stella, 2l0-
pound Army football star
In remaining bouts, however, the
Terps are conceded an excellent
chance and are relying chiefly on
Benny Alperstein, Frank Cronin and
Newton Cox, its Southern Confer

those lads will face undefeated box
ers at their respective weights.
Benny Battles Backer's Son.
Alperstein, swinging for the last
time after capturing four titles at

Harry Rising, a local lad, whose
father, Maj. Harry Rising of the

foe, Dick Negley, Army 155-pounder,
who has remained unbeaten in five
bouts this season. while Cox's op-

Army boasts 1888 Eastern inter-

Lavendusky will trade blows with
red-haired George Dorr, while
Stanley will clash with Nathan

Army Has Superior Record.
Maryland, tied three times and
victorious twice in dual matches,
will concede a superior record to
Army, which has walloped Western

record of winning 26 of % individual

NEW YORK, March 4.-Two

the singles titles in the national
indoor tennis championships.
Sabin, barring accident, shouldn't
have any trouble beating Frank

Miss Betz, voted the outstanding
athlete at Los Angeles City College
last year for her proficiency in
tennis, baseball. field hockey, basket
! bail and archery, is a bit overcome
by the praise heaped on her during
her first indoor tournament. Sew
eral qualified Judges have called her
the best looking prospect to come
out of California since Helen Wills
and Helen Jacobs.
Between them, Sabin and Miss
Betz can win several titles. They
are teamed in mixed doubles against
Bowden and Norma Taubele. Sabin

Myer Offered Biggest Boost.

Nyer OHefed Biggest Boost.
The contract which Myer signed
after his pitiful year in 1886 was a
paper which decreed that his salary
be harshly cut. In 1887 Buddy again
took a comparative trimming. But
after last years comeback, appar-
emily, Myer is looking for some of
that dough to come back.
There is no question but what
Buddy received the biggest of all the
pay raises, which weren't many. But
he and Griffith still are at odds and
by a stable figure to hear the
gossip.
Il don't know what Myer has
asked, nor do I know what Griff
has offered says Manager Bucky
Harris. All I am thankful for is
that our young second baseman,
Morris Aderholt and Jimmy Blood
worth, look so good in practice. If
Buddy and Griff don't get together
soon We'll need them"
All of which is the old blarnev
Aderholt is going to make fine
major league ball player some day
=. but not this year. Bloodworth
isn't the ball player that is Myer.
The Mats need Buddy and Buddy
needs the Washington clubs pay
check. In the end, both parties will
get together. But, in the meantime,
Grandpappy Griff is fuping.
Wright, Kelly Put to Work.
Kelly and Wright drew the ire of
Griffith as soon as they reported.
Both are hefty individuals. When
the 1888 season closed the old gent
repeatedly warned both against put
ting on weight. To make sure of
Kelly he ordered the veteran
knuckle-ball pitcher to Hot Springs,
Ark, to steam off some pounds.
But Harry reported weighing over
200 and Griffith insists that 1876 is his
pitching weight. 1T rained down at
Hot Springs apologized Harry. "It
ralned during the eight days I was
| there"
Griffith refused to condone the eX-
cuse. Rain or no." he shouted, that
don't a-keep you from sweating off
weight"
When Wright first reported he told
Griffith he was 10 pounds over
weight. The old gent glared fiercely.
Ten pounds my eye" he answered,
staring at Wright from toes to head,
you're at least Is pounds over
The result has been that Kelly
and Wright are the objects of most
rigid program. Neither has been
allowed to relax for moment. When
Harris and Griffith aren't ordering
them to do something, Coaches Clyde
Milan and Nick Altrock are shouting
commands.
Today was to wind up the fifth
week OF training. Tomorrow will
be an off day and, starting Tuesday
when nine more players, mainly in
flelders, report, practice will be di-
vlded for the first time in years.
Harris is like the old woman in
shoe; he has so many ball players
ne doesn't know what to do. So
for the time being he will have
morning and afternoon squads.
In the meantime Griffith hope
fully is waiting for word from
Myer, whom he says, hasn't been
invited to camp. and for Messrs.
Kelly and Wright to trot onto the
field with sylphlike figures.
