his opponent and the referee. The
Green Hornet was given another
chance today when he was billed for
a semi -windup match on Thursdays
rassle card at Turner's Arena. His
opponent will be Tommy Rae Of
Boston.
On the basis of his performance
last Thursday, the masked marauder

terror to match that of the Golden
Terror when the latter was wowing
the ringsiders this time last year,
Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 260,

Steinborn, incidentally, will move
up to the top spot this week for a

Decision to Clippers

A plan to give outstanding Wash

chance to connect with the profess

considered by Coach Mack Posnack.
He is going to scout several promis-

and give the best a test with the
Brewers.
I'VE need a couple of fast, strong
kids who can run" Posnack said.
"and if professional basket ball can

Need for additional talent was
indicated last night when the last

won only one previous game, rose

went ahead, although at one point

Hoppe, stricken last Tuesday with
influenza which later developed into

have re-arranged the schedule of
matches, setting Hopes games back
as far as possible. Whether the

compete depends entirely on how

Washington's amateur golf pros
poets for 1941 are looking up. On
the heels of announcement few
days ago that George j. Voigt, for
mer Capital links star, will return
to Washington this year, came news
today that Otto F. Greiner, the Mid
die Atlantic junior champion, ranked
by many as the leading simon pure
in this section, has been appointed
a special agent in the Treasury
Department and will take over a
post in Washington around Febru-
ary IS. According to the inform
ant, a man high in Baltimore
links circles, said the tall Greiner
boy, who now is a student at the
University of Baltimore, will trans
fer to George Washington Univer-
sity.
Greiner won the mid-Atlantic
Junior championship at Columbia
last July and won the major mid
Atlantic championship in 1888 He
was runner-up for the major title
again last year, losing on the last
hole at Hillendale to Spencer Over
ton, the Rolling Road star.
Greiner went to the fourth round
in the 1910 national amateur cham
pionship, licking such talented ma
tionally known linksmen as Jack
Hoerner and Art Doering, two of the
crack amateurs from Chicago. He
lost to George Dawson, another Chi
cago star, at Winged Foot, and
generally was rated by golf experts
as one of the most promising young
sters in the tournament, won by
Dick Chapman.
Greiner scored a 66 at Five Farms
in 1889 to top the sectional qualify
ing rounds for the national anna
teur championship. His record has
been outstanding in a neighborhood
which has many fine golfers, and a
good many people think the tall
Baltimore youngster is the best
simon pure in this sector.

Joe Louis, the heavyweight cham

stagnant the last time he fought,

have to manage in some way to get

place was at his side.
