Eastern's S Softly Title
Tilt tuesday Ends
R-Team Meet
Five Clashes Tomorrow
To Determine Rivals
In Final Contest

Eastern High Schools big intra-
mural softball tournament winds up
tomorrow and Tuesday with five
teams remaining in the race from
the IS which started two weeks ago.
This tourney, one of the largest
intramural events ever held in
Washington high schools, had an
original entry list of 485 boys drawn
from the various sections. Con-
Quoting 1t is Phil Fox, physical edu-
cation instructor at the school, who
also directed the touch football tour
ney at Eastern last fall and the
basket ball tourney at Central two
years ago.
Gets All Boys in Sport.
His idea has been to get all the
boys in school interested in COM
petitive sports activities rather
than the comparative few who can
qualify for the schools regular
sports teams and in this he has
been so successful that he has
drawn commendation from Princi-
pal Charles Hart, one of the most
athletic minded school officials in
Washington.
The softball tournament started
two weeks ago with six or more
teams representing each semester.
Five games were scheduled each
day after school and having had
good luck in the weather so far no
games have been postponed. Mem
bers Of the schools baseball team
acted as umpires.
The quarter final round of games
began Friday when the seventh
semester team defeated the eighth
semester team.
More Games Tomorrow.
Three more games are scheduled
tomorrow, starting at 3:15 pm. in
the schools stadium. The fifth
semester plays the sixth semester,
with the winner to take on the
seventh semester the same day.
Also scheduled tomorrow is the
game between the third semester
and the fourth semester. The two
surviving teams will meet in the
final championship game Tuesday
afternoon.
From games played to date, in
dications are that the seventh
semester team Is slight favorite
to take the crown. 1t has won five
games. four of them overtime affairs,
with Pitcher Mike Leib, brother of
Ernie Leib. Eastern basket ball hero
of few years ago, going the route
every time. Close behind the
seventh semester in the role of
favorite is the sixth semester.

Boston pitchers for l3 hits, the
Chicago Cubs trounced the Bees, IL

Gle, yielded in the fourth to Joe

DETROIT, June 15.-In addition
to such woes as tumbling into the
American League basement. the
Mats are being plagued by a series
of minor ailments, the most notable
!cf..::yhich. IS ....outfie,der. Gerald
Walkers sinus infection, which
forced him to retire for the day
after playing one inning OF the first
game here yesterday.
Second Baseman Jimmy Blood
worth isn't lit for service, .ewine to
a sore right arm, while Shortstop
Cecil Travis is playing on a gashed
left leg which shows no sign of
healing.
Outflelder Sammy West damaged
his throwing hand in leaping against
the right-fleld screen in an attempt
to snare Billy Sullivan's triple in
the fourth inning Of the first game.
Sammy continued in action, how
ever, after having his hand taped.
Pitcher Rene Monteagudo, who
missed the train when the club left
Washington, arrived here this morn
ing. He probably is wishing he
could have delayed his arrival until
tomorrow, judging from the manner
in which the Tigers mauled him in a
relief role in the initial engagement.
1t will be Dutch Leonard VS..
Tommy Bridges in the finale of the
Detroit series here tomorrow, with
the Washington knuckle-ball spe-
cialist seeking his eighth victory.
Charley Colbert made his second
appearance of the season as a
pitcher for the mats in the second
game. having previously pitched in
that 18-1 shellacking Washington

Reliance Life's Varsity Talent
Yeorn;ng for Win in Windup
OF Industrial League Play

Weary of its role of doormat in
the Industrial League, Dave Os-
borne's Reliance Life nine will have
four chances of crashing the victory
column this week as the loop winds
up its first-half affairs.
The Insurance men are involved
in every game scheduled, meeting
O'Donnell's, Cameo Furniture, Rus
sell Motors and Heurich Brewers in
order. Wednesday will be the lone
off day until Saturday. Reliance
gained a moral victory Friday by
rallying to get an 8-8 tie with O'Don-
nel's, but even that had a hollow
sound. The Seafood team started
Second Baseman Freddy Wahler on
the mound and he blew sky-high
in the sixth.
,,, Win or lose, Reliance will play out
the season for the sake of expert
ence. The team is comprised almost
wholly OF George Washington Uni
versity players, who need seasoning,
and they figured year in the In
dustrial League. one of the fastest
weekday circuits on the lots, would
be just what the doctor ordered to
have them ready for the 1941 collegi-
ate campaign. But they would like
to win just one game in the first half.
Ciomei Not Gunshy.
Joe Ciomei, all-high centerfelder
Of Tecb fuyo yoorc ooo ;S hool, will,
ODonnell's after recovering from a
broken hand suffered while batting
against Otis Printz Of Cameo. Printz,
incidentally, hit him with another
pitched ball the first time he batted
after getting back into action. But
S hits in 10 times at bat indicate
Joe isn't gunshy because of his ac-
cident and he has three flashy field
ing plays to his credit.
Johnny Bonifant. hard hitting
O'Donnell's shortstop, finally snap
ped out OF a prolonged batting slump
with 8 hits in IL trips to the tee
last week. Two homers and triple
were included in the lot.
Most improved player in the loop
is Bill Harris of Cameo, who is
sporting a nifty 492 average. Two
years ago his batting average was
the size OF buns bank account.
Another batting slump ended last
week when Jimmy Schwab came
through with five for seven. The
Cameo star batted .545 last season.
Good Hurting Wasted.
Although down where the daisies
grow in league standings, Russell
Motors has received the most con-
sistent hurting in the league this
season, with Johnny Clements and
"Cy' Seidel turning in innumerable
low-hit games. Errors and a lack
OF batting power on their team
