College of Puget Sound
Enrolment Exceeding
All Previous Figures
Advance Registrations Testimonial TO
High Type of Work in Tacoma School

Figures from the office of
Christian Miller. registrar. indi-
cate that a new all-high attend
ance record probably will be
established at the College of
Puget Sound this year. Up to
Aug. q, 1s7 freshman applica-
tons had been approved and a
number remained to be passed
upon. Last year at this date only
$50 had been approved. and the
year before 40. Last years total
registration was 500.
With the freshman registration
at this time between Is and 20
per cent greater than it was a
year ago. there is every reason to
believe the total will exceed last
years figures.
Anticipating an increase In
attendance, plans were made
for the construction of a stu
dent union building that would
relieve the congestion In Jones
hall and provide additional
facilities for the library and
Increase the class rooms. 1t
was intended to have the
building ready by the first
of November but unforeseen
problems that are now being
ironed out viii delay compile
tion of the building until near
the end of the semester.
One notable innovation this year
is a traffic control system on Law
renee street at the entrance TO
the campus. Traffic will be re-
CURED to stop at the No. 18th and
Lawrence intersection and on
leaving the campus. School signs
will be placed on Lawrence
block each side of the campus en-
trance. This was announced by
Holmes Eastwood. commissioner
of public safety. because of the
heavy increase of traffic to the
college.
The school year opens Sept. 10,
the beginning of freshmen week.

In most leagues a 500 batting
average is considered ne plus ultra,
but not where the Dusek freres
are concerned. In their language
1t means two members of the rough

Ernie pinned Lou Plummer in
the feature match with a half
gamer. two grunts and a dash of
paprika. An eyewitness claims he
kneed him in the bargain. Another
correcting the first customer says it
was in the groin. Anyway, Ernie,

Not all attendance records at
baseball games will go to major or
minor league clubs this year, not if
interest in the Prince Georges Coun-
ty League for the second half is on
par with that displayed during the
first half which ended last week.
Jack Shapiro, secretary-treasurer
of the loop, who handles the pub
licity when not busy with his gen.
eral store duties at Seat Pleasant,
figures the 10 teams will play to
some 100000 fans this year. And
that's a conservative estimate.
Figure it out for yourself" he
urges. 1--WE play five games every
week for nine weeks. That's As
games and we average at least 1000
fans game. When Maryland Aces
met Oxon Hill 5000 turned out.
know we played before $4,000 fans
In the first half and I think We'll
reach the 100000 by the end of the
season. Well do it easily at our
present rate and that's something to
be proud of, or am I wrong?"
Hotter Race Anticipated.
Shapiro must be right. After all
this is only the leagues second year
after organized ball lapsed into a
lO-year coma in the neighboring
precinct. Interest is at flood level
in the county and growing hotter
with each passing week. Two boost
ers clubs, for example, follow the
Maryland Aces, who won the first
half pennant without dropping a
game. The clinching argument,
Evening star., 1940-07-12

Games as Race Gets Torrid,

however, is the losing teams popu-
larity. Old Fireside didn't win
game and still pulls 'em in at the
turnstiles. Shady Oak dropped all
but two and Hyattsville Police Boys
Club won only three, but their
supporters stood by them to the
bitter end.
Now each club is permitted to add
three new men for the second half
and all are taking advantage Of the
rule. This means, Shapiro points
out, closer race than the first half,
which was a scorcher in its own
right.
Clement Is Slab Star.
Some of the outstanding PERFORM
ers in the first round were Johnny
Clements, Maryland Ace pitchers
who won seven games, and team
mate Johnny Newman, who bagged
the other two. Ray Arnosan's timely
hitting and brilliant fielding also
were important factors in the Aces
drive. 1t was his shoe-string catch
of "Skeets" Taylors line drive with
the bases loaded that saved the de-
Gliding game with Oxon Hill.
Joe Porter, Oxon Hill twirler, and
Pete Phelps, manager and veteran
first baseman were other Hillmen

One Right-Hand Blow
By Lew Banked On
To Stop Henry
Critic, However, Admits
Texun Had Better Lond
Telling WolIop EorIy
BY DILLON GRAHAM,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, July 12-This
corner figures Lew Jenkins will kaye
Henry Armstrong in their battle OF
champions" at the Polo Grounds
here July II.
The welterweight king, formerly
boxing's first and only triple cham
pion, is one Of the greatest fighting
men the game ever has seen. But
he must be running down.
He has fought more often and at
faster pace than any champion
we ever have known. Armstrong
has been tireless. an annoying, ever
pressing competitor.
He has been beaten but once in
some four years-a loss to Lou Am
bers in battle in which he was
penalized five rounds.
He has fought and beaten men
smarter and more experienced than
Jenkins-for instance, Barney Ross.
jenkins Packs Punch.
He has whipped boxers faster
than Jenkins-say Lou Ambers.
He has fought heavier men and
men who were hard to handle in
close.
He has fought good punchers-
there was Ceferino Garcia.
But we don't think he has fought
guy with as near a one-punch
knockout blow as Jenkins, who top
pied Lou Ambers two months ago
in three rounds to win the light
weight crown.
That's why we think Lew will
catch Hank coming in and knock
him out in the first few rounds.
Unless jenkins gets him quick
though, Armstrong should win.
Hank is rough and rowdy socker
His punches slash and Lew does
cut easily. And, while Jenkins takes
a punch well, he has been knocked
out, not so long ago and by second
rate battlers.
CAS- fight time neared, it appeared
that Armstrong might have another
great acknowledgements. The fight
originally was planned as a non
title bout with both men coming
into the ring under 14O pounds. But
when Armstrong had trouble making
that weight his handlers sought to
put Armstrong; welter crown at
stake, this allowing him to fight at
lat pounds)
Lew Not Fine Boxer.
Everything is on Armstrong; side,
except: Youth and punch.
This jenkins is as untamed as a
bronco from his native Texas.
His only idea in the ring is to
strike with that right and destroy
his foe. He doesn't know much
about the finer points of boxing
Sometimes his feet get tangled. But
if he ever gets a halfway clear
shot at a guy it is likely to be cur
tains.
He carries great power in the right
and he can throw it from any angle,
straight, uppercut or hook.
So. jenkins is our guess. but Hank
may fool us. He is q grand little
fighter and he may have enough
left to outfox and finally cut down
this lean, raw-boned, hungry Texan.
