ter. defending champion. is lead
ing the league, while Maston is in
third place.
The difficulty started when Mas
ton opened the first game with
four men. Under the league ruling
the Maston team would have used
the average OF the fifth man on the
team, minus ten pins. AS the abb

ter team. noticed the fifth player
setting on the Maston bench. He
Immediately demanded that the
player bowl. Richard Bennett. cap
tain OF the Maston team, refused.

the league, then produced the rules
and regulations OF the league 10

player appearing before the fourth
frame shall compete and his score

dent of the league, maintained that
the Interpretation was different.

feated Supreme in two OF the three
games bowled. Thompson, with a
rs pin handicap, defeated Joe Louis
Springhill Farm five. two out OF

overcome the. 80 pin handicap held
by Buick. losing three games to
their opponents Nacirema was

Scale Checking Here.
Cocoa Kid Demands,
Seems Logical

Cocoa Kid wants the scales
checked before he steps on to weigh
In for his 10-round bout with George
Abrams Monday night at Griffith
Stadium, and it isn't bad idea
ct that.
At first glance it sounds pretty
much publicity gag, and not a
good one at that, but barking back
to the recent Pete Scalzo- Frankie
Covelli scrap and a year or so ago
to the Furr-Abrams squabble re-
calls that all four had trouble.
There is rumor out that the
scale in the Boxing Commission Of
fee won't give Its maker the correct
poundage, theory that was sub
stantiated at least once by Chris
Dundee, manager of Abrams, Furr
and others. Dundee hustled Furr
around to the weights and meas
ures departments after the COM
mission scales showed Phil under
weight and got a different answer.
Dundee. of course, isn't letting
out a peep now, because there's q
small item of $500 hanging in the
balance. George must make 100
pounds or surrender the forfeit.

40 Years in Potomac Boat Club,
President for Five, Rowing
Is All Things to Herman

George A. Herman, Oldest living
member of Potomac Boat Club, has
one hobby, one love and one great
ambition-all wrapped in rowing.
The veteran oarsman, who is cell
ebrating this year his fortieth sea-
son with the Georgetown club, be-
lieveS there is nothing more vital
in life than the welfare of Poto-
mac Boat Club in particular and
rowing in Washington in general
This also marks his fifth year as
president of the Districts Oldest
rowing organization.
A few minutes with George-the
middle name is Aloysius-and you
go away convinced, too, there Is
little in the world of sport as i'm
portant as rowing It's difficult to
get him to talk about George A
Herman. Most of the time it's about
the good work of the new coach
or the fine showing the boys made
down at Richmond, or plans for
next years improvements of the
club.
This much can be learned about
him, however. The only rowing
George does now, is for exercise
limbering up in a single-scull. But
back about 1904 Herman was a
member of the champion inter-
mediate and senior crews that
manned the eight-oared shells. Two
years before that he was mem
Der of the fast-stepping junior
eight"
There IS scarcely a day, winter
or summer, that George is not seen
at the clubhouse, talking rowing
and more rowing. His tireless ef-
forts during periods Of food and
ice jams when the clubhouse faces
grave danger are reflected in his

North Carolina Republican leader
ship is apparently striking out on
a new line OF political strategy.
In the past it has been customary
Tor the State convention of Repub-

office and it has been equally GUS
tomary to abide by decision of the
convention. The result has been that
the only statewide Republican pri-
mary OF any importance or interest
whatsoever was held in 1880, when
several powerful G. O. p. leaders
contested for the senatorial NOM

worth having. in view Of the fact
that Hoover had carried the State
