Interhigh Standing
BY ROBERT HENRY.

Judging by the --latest efforts OF
interhigh baseball teams, Central is
due for trouble in defense of its
title in the playoff round that
tentatively has been set for June 3,
4 and Z, sight of action undecided.
Heading the list Of four finalists,
Central has the only clean slate with
five victories The other teams now
assured of first division places are
Eastern, Western and Tech. In
games yesterday Eastern beat Roose-
welt at Eastern, to 2, and Tech
surprised by stopping Western, 3 to
O, at Western.
While Central already holds
triumphs over Eastern and Tech, the
Vikings no longer are considered in
vincible. Their recent efforts show
that even champions suffer some
times from the jitters. Certainly
the Columbia Heights boys are not
as tough as they were month ago.
Other Teams Improve.
Just as Central seems to have
slipped somewhat, Tech and Eastern
apparently have improved. Yester-
day Tech won one of the snappiest
games Of the season, one in which
only two errors were made and only
two bases on balls allowed, one of
the latter by the winning pitcher,
Charley Green, and one by Joe Nim-
non, Westerns starting hurler.
Making his first interhigh start of
the year, Green pitched masterful
ball, giving only four hits and Whit
flng five Raiders. The slim, blond
lad, regarded earlier as of doubtful
ability, permitted only two Raiders
to reach second, both in the third
inning. One of Techs two double
plays snffed the rally.
From the third to the eighth in
ming Green set the hosts down in
order to protect a three-run lead
earned in the first two frames. Tech
lost no time in scoring, Chet Ciomei
hitting the first ball pitched for
triple and scoring on Martin Green's
double. Green came home on an out
field out and Vince Geronimos in
field tap.
Another run was picked up by the
winner in the second inning. Vic
McCampbell walked. went to third
on First Baseman Keithley's single
and tailed on Joe Withers' error.

That is the kind of spirit you like

The fight seems easy to boil down
If Garcia lands his bolo punch

Evil days have come upon Hostak-
If there is a Hostak. He made a
ghostly appearance in Chicago not
long ago, busted his hand upon the
all too solid carcass of one Anthony
Zale, and lost the fight. While the
phantom nurses his knuckles back
to health in Seattle, Mr.. Garcia is
making hay.
This is all pretty complicated, so
I will clarity the middleweight situa-
ton for you in a few words:
Zale rhymes with golly, and not
with Yale.
Eostak is the worlds middle
weight champion of many interest

he will probably belt the stufflng

OverIin Is Given Chance
Of Outpointing Garcia
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, May % NANA).
-One of the best of the current
middleWeight champions of the
world, Ceferino Garcia, who for
merly manicured sugar cane with
a bolo knife, is defending his title
against pretty skillful opponent at
Madison Square Garden Thursday
night. The party of the second part
Is Ken Overlin, the sly sailor.
For years Mr.. Overhn gave his
moral support to one admiral after
another. He sailed five or six of the
seven seas in the course of his long
hitch in the Navy and today his
comment on the strength and sig
niflcance of Uncle Sans sea arm
Is very interesting, indeed.
II don't know thing about it,"
says Mr.. Overlin.
This makes it easy to understand
why he sacrificed his chance of be-
coming an admiral to his chance of
becoming middleweight champion of
the world. Mr.. Overlin spent most
of his time in the Navy boxing. when
he acquired sufficient skill he left
the fleet and won a decision over
Fred Apostoli and bought 40 suits of
clothes. He is now very good pro-
fessional boxer and a tough man to
hit. His wardrobe is down to 20
suits, but only for reasons of con-
venience

dick LEVER WINS
ATBATTLEH HERE
Referee BraddOck Forced TC
Deliver Several Blows To
Tennessee Terror

Ex-heavyweight Champ James J
Braddock exhibited that tremendous
right blow that carried him to box
ing's front ranks here last night
and Dick Lever, the wrestling Ter
ror of Tennessee, was on the re
ceiving end.
The former champ, who was de
throned by Joe Louis, refereed the
matches, which included two mat
bouts and one amateur boxing ex
hibition between two New Hanover
High school boxers.
Lever won the feature bout oil
the evening, pinning Chief Little
Beaver in a rough and tumble
graphing exhibition that called fol
the famed Braddock punches more
times than one.
Lever out-roughed the Beaver ir
the first fall and, after a series o.
body slams, pinned his Indian op'
| ponent in II minutes after the
opening gong. Little Beaver used
his native cunning in the SECOND
round to win the fall.
A stray towel found itself in the
Beavers hands and this worthy lao
promptly wrapped it around Levers
neck. Using the towel for lever
age, Beaver swung Lever around
and around his head and then
planked him on the canvas for the
fall in five minutes.
It was during the third fall that
the cinderella Man" Of boxing had
to use sternness with Lever, at one
time throwing the Tennessee Terror
down and holding him while he re-
moved some tape from the wres'
tiers hand.
Lever finally won the match with
a deadlock to pin Beaver in IA min
utes.
The semi-finals bout pitted John
ny Mars against Jack Hader, OF
Missouri who was also rough. The
two wrestled for 81 minutes before
Mars pinned Hader after a series
Of body slams. The two then Wres'
tied the remaining six minutes to g
draw.
Braddock ruled the entire match
a draw, saying that under the rules
any wrestler has to win as many
as two falls before winning the
match. However, Mars claimed
the bout because under rules recog-
nized here previously only n fall
has been needed to win.
Between ma tches Billy Lee and
Jack Bryant, of the high school
team, fought to a t%hree-round draw
in an exhibition match.
After the program, members OF
the high school fight team and the
coaches were photographed in the
ring with Braddock.
Braddock will return to Charlotte
this morning.

bill providing 1866, 772, 1878 for the
navy-a record peacetime appro.
priation despite a slash of Sill, $685.
500 below President R~oosevelt's re-
commentators - started through
the house today amid warnings that
to guard it's wealth the United
States must have greater naval
power than any other nation.
While cutting deeply into esti-
mates for ship construction, ordi-
nance and naval aircraft, the ap-
preparations committee urged that
the projected ~battleships and new
cruisers be restudied with a view
to making them the most powerful
in the world.
The committee also recommended
a $1,000, 900 start on a harbor pro-
ject for the Pacific outpost of
Guam, near Japan. The navy's pro-
posed development of the island
aroused a storm of controversy last
year.
Of 28,628,0 21 Topped from the
shipbuilding program, all but S.
522,521 was for four 4%5,000-ton bat
tleships and four new cruisers.
First funds for two of the capital
ships-which would be the navy's
biggest-and two of the cruisers
were provided last year. The COM
mittee said plans for all eight still
could be changed to make theim
bigger, adding that under present
plans they would be practically the
same rs to speed, armor and guns
as ships now being built abroad.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference he hoped the battleshir
funds would be restored. Mean
while he signed a deficiency bill
providing 1882, $40, TIC for defense
and neutrality functions of the
navy, army, coast guard and fed
eral bureau of investigation in the
current fiscal year.
Presenting the d~rastically curtail-
ed bill to the house as a "by-pro-
duct Of the unrest in international
affairs and not "a product of mill
tarism," Chairman Scrugham ID
