Diz 10 Be Cub Starter
Against Chisox in
Stratton Benefit

CHICAGO, April 25-When the
Chicago Cubs and White Sox play
next Monday in the Monty Stratton
benefit game Dizzy Dean will be the
starting pitcher for the National
Leaguers.
So said Manager Gabby Hartnett
today, adding that he thought the
loquacious right handler was about
ready for regular duty in the Cubs
league games.
Il figure that Dizzy's appearance
will help the game" Hartnett said
and I think it's important that we
draw as many as possible to that
game.
More than that, however, it will
give me chance to start Diz work.
ing toward real pitching shape. It
won't be long after Monday until
you'll see Dean pitching for us in
the National League race"
Stratton, the White Sox pitching
ace of last season, lost a leg in q

season. Wearing an artificial leg

In Departmental
Interior Takes Opener
From Commissioners
On 4 Runs in 7th

Weekday sandlot baseball speeds
up its tempo today as the city's old

moves ahead with its regular sched-
ule after the customary fanfare OF
opening day. Maritime Commits
sion and Bureau Of Engraving were
scheduled to meet at 5 o'clock on the
East Ellipse.
Interior got off to a good start in
Yesterdays curtain-raiser, staging q
four-run rally in the seventh to
overcome District Commissioners
7-3. More than 1000 fans saw
Undersecretary Harry Slattery OF
Interior toss out the first ball, send

Commissioners pounced on Dan
Cleary in the first inning for a 81

Techs Track Outlook
Brightens in Rout
Of 6. ". High

Tech Highs hopes of capturing the
annual inter-high track meet and
the scholastic title in The Evening
Stars games for District A. A. U.
championships had a decidedly pink
tinge today, as the Maroon resumed
practice after defeating George
Washington High of Alexandria,
1928 to 44ls.
1t was one of the most impressive
victories ever recorded by a high
school team as Tech captured eight
of 13 events, and placed at least two
men in every event. Tech dominated
the running events and got an even
break in the field. Homer Wedding,
crack dash man, accounted for Is
points by winning the century, 300
yard dash, and running broad jump.
He negotiated the 100 in the excel
lent time of 1O6 seconds, and leaped
20 feet liz inches.
Harvey Bourn, veteran George
Washington distance runner, scored
double for his team in the half
mile and mile runs.

BY ROBERT HENRY.

Taking extra pains to make the
18th renewal of the Virginia Gold
Cup at Warrenton the finest in its
history, the Gold Cup Race Commit
te promises much for those sports
lovers who will journey into the
heart of the horse country May
to witness this great test of horse
and rider.
According to word from George w.
Cutting, secretary of the committee,
the beautiful Broadview race course,
considered by many the finest in the
country, is in better shape this year
than ever before. Both the timber
and brush courses have undergone
changes since last year, with some
1000 young cedar trees being used
to make the latter course perfect for
the chasers which will parade post
ward for the races brush. Several
slight changes in the timber course
have been made for the protection
Of riders and mounts; also for the
convenience of the spectators.
One Of Greatest Events.
Since the first running of the Gold
Cup. which was held at Oakwood,
the estate of Capt. and Mrs. Sterling
Larrabee, it has been the aim of the
committee to stage the best in rae
ing. That they have succeeded is
seen in the fact that each year
thousands come from all parts of
the East to witness the race that
now is considered one of the great
est in the country.
The Gold Cup race is about 4
miles over timber and will be run
third on the five-race card. This
will enable many who come only for
the feature to arrive in time and
return to nearby destinations for
dinner.
The last two runnings of this race
went to Mrs. Frank M. Gould's aged
Ostend, trained by William B. Street,
OF Warrenton. Reports say Ostend
has been retired from competition,
and Mrs. Gould probably will rely
on Postmen Home in her effort to
win the trophy for the third time
and thus gain permanent possession.
The first trophy was retired by Mrs.
Katherine Elkins Hit, and the
second by Sumner Pingree, who
donated the present cup.

Though, Hold Interest
Of D. c. Fans Tonight

A prospective opponent for former
Lightweight Champion Lou Ambers
will be given a trial tonight at Tur-
ner's Arena, where sleek haired
Chico Romo tangles with the vet
eran Eddie Alex in one of three
8-round bouts. Ambers is scheduled
to box at Griffith Stadium in mid
summer, according to tentative plans
arranged by Promoter Joe Turner,
and the search is on for a suitable
opponent.
But interest tonight will be CEN
tered IN Ell Brookman's fuss with
frankie Wills. a strictly hometown
production the fans have long
awaited. Wills has been fed an
assorted selection of misfts-with
few exceptions, and managed to
keep winning. Brookman, a grad
uate of Washington's anemic anna
teur ranks, represents the toughest
opponent Wills has drawn. and
threatens to chase the transplanted
West Virginian right out of the
ring.
Another engagement of more than
passing interest finds Red Lewis of
Richmond pitted against frankie
zamaris. Hailing from Tony Ga
lento's home town. Zamaris is touted
as another knockout puncher with
more promise than the human beer
barrel, and his supporters look for a
quick, sudden ending to tonight's

victim was Charley Robinson, whom
he put to sleep in the second round.

Nova Sure He'll Whip
Baer, Then Capture !
Title From Louis
Passes Up Easy Money
To Have McAIIister /.
Polish His Boxing
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Write


NEW YORK, April 25.-Lou Nova,
the most promising young heavy
weight of them all, is here for q
couple Of days limbering up his
valuable muscles prior to going into
hard training for his June en-
gagement with Max Baer at Yankee
Stadium. -.
He's as cocksure as ever, so calmly
certain he will beat Baer and them
win the title from Joe Louis. In
September that 1t doesn't seem
worth while to argue the matter
with him. After his first flippant
reply (Baer? Sure, he'll make d
good warm-up for me.") we kept
the conversation centered upon
Nova. - 3
Lou hasn't had a fight since le,
defeated and almost knocked out
Tommy Farr in the Garden LAST
December. Instead, he has taken
an intensive course in boxing les.
sons from Bob McAllister out on
the coast, and now thinks he's ready
for the big push.
OlFcS McAlllSter Credit, :
i've learned more about fighting
from McAllister in the last few
months than I could have learned
IN dozen fights" he declared
"McAllister was one of the cleverest
OF them all. He's taught me the,
1lner points both of defense and
offense. "'4"
I've learned a lot about Bae-
from him, too. He was one of MAYS
hrst teachers, you know. know
I've improved a lot, especially in
my footwork. I've filled out a Few
POUNDS and reached my full growth.
An my measurements are a LITTLE
larger. So I'm ready, and I want
a shot at Louis this September -
not next summer like YOU might
have heard"
From the foregoing it NAV he
CLEANED that the California kid is
not Just another young heavy-
weight. I wouldn't be surprised if
ne turns out to be the Golden Bov..
hes 1rlghteningly like Gene Tun-'
ney IN many ways He's naturally
smart and clean-cut, knows exactl,-
what he intends to do. and is eoi,r,
to be hard to dissuade.
Passed Up Easy Money.
During the last few months Nova,
could safely have fought a series Of
second-raters like, for instance
JACK Roper. He likely could have
earned $4,000 or $4,000 without
getting more than his hair nussed
But he stayed home and took boxing
lessons and, presumably, paid for
them.
Now his manager. Ray Carlen,
says they're going to be different
about their training for Baer,
Iney're going to keep on spending,
"Well have the greatest gang Of
sparring partners ever seen in a
heavyweight camp" he promised.
1here won't be any WORKOUT war
horses around the place. They'll all
be young, ambitious kids on the way
up. In fact. some of those I'm ne
gotiating for are so good can't give
you their names now. They might
back out" -
Physically, Nova looks Just about
perfect. AS he shadow-boxed in a.
local gymnasium he appeared to
move about with a grace and an as
surance that he didn't own even five
months ago. He weighs 2O8 now and
expects to take about six pounds OF
his legs before he faces Baer. -,t
noticed for the first time that
ne has an abnormally long reach.
1t isn't apparent when he fights. be-
cause most of his blows are short
and sharp, with the weight of his
body behind them.

were anything but exacting. The

Puts Plenty Of English
On Thot Word Bum" !"

That was sensational stuff
What's that you say? Sharkey was
called a bum long before that?
Maybe so, but never with the special
twist that gave it. I put dignity
and pathos and plenty of English
on that word bum And Sharkey
didn't have to wait to read it in the
papers the next morning. He could
hear me from where I said it, though
I must have been couple of hun
dred miles away. That's service
That word bum made me famous,
along with some other brand-new
stuff that the other clowns went
crazy with jealousy wishing they
had pulled themselves. For instance,
used to go out with blonds. That
was my own idea.
"And what happens? The next
thing know, Tommy Farr is going

Tony Galento is calling people buns
In fact, he got famous that way.
And when accuse him of what you
might call infringement of copy
right, what does he do? You're
right. He calls me a bum"
Mr.. Baer pauses to control his in
dignation.
Then" he continues, comes the
cleanest theft of all. I reform, and
get married. Well, I don't blame
Barney Ross and Tony Canzoneri
for going out and getting married,

idea from me, but I admit that I
borrowed it off Jack Dempsey. So

But what happens next? I have
