ing camp in Sarasota, Fla.
williams yesterday was advised
that q Presidential Appeal Board
had reclassified him under q ga
rating rather than IA. The infor-
nation came shortly after an
nouncement was made In Boston
that the slender Red Sox left fielder
had signed his 1912 contract. Al
though terms were not disclosed,
reports were that he would be paid
$50, 900 for the season.
The action Of the appeal board
apparently was as surprising to
williams as 1t was to Red Sox
officials.
The hitting king OF the American
League, whose 406 mark helped put
the Red Sox In second place, had
complied with draft board routine
and was ready to leave for an Army
camp. But the local board reported
to Washington 1t was convinced
williams mother needed his sup
port. The appeal board then ruled
that williams should be deferred.
In Sarasota, Manager Joe Cronin
was more than pleased at the newl
and said the problem Of who would
play left field for the team was
definitely settled. Cronin termed
Ted's deferment "a most worthy
case" and added that he was sure
the young slugger would not "hesi-
tate an instant about jumping into
the Army when and II he is called
If Uncle Sam says fight, he'll fight
Since he has said play ball, Ted has

Merrick and Boys Club of Wash

Maimone'S performance. The south

and a ringman since the tender age
of five, Maimone had too much ex-

But the st. Mary's youngster gave a
good account Of himself despite his
defeat and undoubtedly will be a
much better fighter for the conf

ace sports rivalries, are in a dead
lock, and the same holds in North

teams, George Washington OF Alex

ton, also have battled to a standoff.
1t becomes increasingly difficult
to name a favorite for the tourna-

Tech gym, such is the balance and
power being displayed by seven OF
the eight already named as starters.
Six Of them were in action yesterday
and except where they played each
other to gain the season ties, all
were winners. Gonzaga, defending
Metropolitan champion avenged an
earlier setback by topping st. Johns,
1924, last night at Tech gym IN one
of the best and most thrilling
schoolboy games played in Wash
ington this year, while at Ballston,
George Washington's Presidents
also made up for an earlier defeat

Meanwhile, Georgetown Prep, al
ready owning the Catholic School
League championship, finished one
of its most successful seasons by
winning from st. Adams, 1922,
while Bethesda Chevy Chase made
up for an earlier setback by defeat
ing Coolidge, 1924. Montgomery
Blair, the seventh team entered, was
Idle yesterday, while an eighth team
remains to be selected and prob
ably will be announced tomorrow
along with tournament pairings.
In pulling even with st. Johns,
Gonzagas s Eagles went ahead at the
start but never had a comfortable
margin. Even during the last min
ute the Johnnies were threatening
and almost pulled the game from
the fire. A big splash in the first
period, when it gained 12-4 ad-
vantage, proved to be Gonzaga's S
winning punch, with Ray Tanning
and Elmer Raba tossing a pair OF
buckets each in the early gonig to
lead the way. Thereafter, St. Johns
turned on the heat and cut the
Eagles margin to 1910 at the half.
Only 8. points separated the two
teams going into the last quarter,
and here the game really got hot.
A pivot shot by George Hughes,
big St. Johns forward, and three
successful foul toSses pulled the
Johnnies to 1924 midway of the
period, but the Eagles frightened,
and with Red Murphy, Bernie Nolan
and Tanning dropping foul shots,
pulled away at the end. 1t was
hard and closely fought game
throughout.
