Ogle was the winner yesterday as
Wilson evened the series by taking
wild, 1877 affair over the Vikings,
and this after working a losing
12-inning stint, only two days before
when Central won the playoft
opener.
A surprise starter and going in
with no warmup, Ogle tossed home
run to Mike Denikos, first man to
face him, and two successive hits
thereafter as Central tailed twice
in the first round. He frightened
after that. though, as his mates
rallied behind him and had COM
Portable 1916 margin when taken
out in the sixth inning to save his
arm for more hard work in the de-
Gliding tilt at Griffith Stadium.
AS Wednesdays game was the
best high school tilt so far this
season, yesterdays was, if not the
worst, at least the craziest. Hardest
Job of all fell to the scorekeepers
with numerous unusual situations
cropping up, players sHiltiiis lioiii
position to position and otherwise
cumming up the books. Wilson, for
example, used four different left
fielders, and Central ended with
Catcher Billy Carrier on the mound
after all other possibilities had been
exhausted.
Central's hurting Monday prob
ably will be handled again by Aaron
Weisenberg, last Wednesdays win
ner. He was in the game for little
over an inning yesterday, being
taken out after one and one-third
frames because he gave four hits
over that span and the Vikings were
so far behind by then there was
no use wasting his efforts.
Wilson went ahead in its half Of
the first inning, scoring five runs on
only one hit, homer by Monk
Barbee with the bases loaded. Pre-
viously q run had come In on four

Reservations continue to come in
from persons high in Washington's S

response of Griffith's lesser known
admirers.
I've never seen more friendly in

Leighton Cornwell, chairman of the
Ticket Committee. "It is surprising
to see the number of people who
probably are not personally ac-
quainted with him but who want to
show their appreciation for his con-
tribution to baseball and Washing
ton sports. We originally intended
to limit the guest list to 500 persons,
but we won't refuse anybody a ticket,
even If We have to make room for
twice that number"

In the fifty first annual meet today.
The team championship is such

opposition to opening Of the Garden

as the track management an

Judge s. Ruslin Leap Of the

announced he would appear before
Justice Ralph w. E. Donges Of the
New Jersey Supreme Court on June
IL to challenge the constitutionality
of the State Racing Act and to ask
a temporary injunction to prevent
racing at the $1,50o000 park in
nearby Delaware Township until
the case can be argued.
Formal notice was served yes
terday on the New Jersey Racing
Commission and the Garden State

fore Judge Donges June IL.
If the injunction is granted, It
would prevent the tracks scheduled
opening July 18 Of its 49-day meet,
since next action would be at the

Judge Leap, counsel for the Asso-
ciation for the Prevention of a

the establishment Of pari-mutuel
