Third District Pin Loop Crown
Eyed by BouIevurd's S Harrison
By Ben McAIwee

Among the bowlers, who tomorrow
night, will be aiming to overtake
Julie Singer. now Mems Major Dis
trict League individual pacesetter
with an average of 1856 for As
games, will be former Champion Joe
Harrison of Hiser's Boulevard quint.
Besides rapping the naples con-
sistently for 1864, Joe is the cir
CUTS leading sparemaker with 165.
Nearly IL years ago Harrison won
the coveted league title for the sec
ond successive time, a feat achieved
by only two other pinmen-Harry
Krauss and the late Earl McP Philomy.
Harrison gained his two straight
league championships in 1884 and
1885, duplicating McPhilomys bril-
liant accomplishment of 1882 and
1888. It was IL years before that
Krauss turned In the remarkable
feat of winning the District high
average honors three times in row.
Victor in 1918, Krauss came back to
win in 1920 and 1921 when the Dis
trict League resumed hostilities after
lapsing for season during World
War I.
Another veteran who is having a
big season in the District loop is
Whip Litchfield. who is spear
heading fourth-place Clarendon's
pennant drive with an average OF
127 and stands first with 54 strikes.
Incidentally, both Harrison and
Litchfield were members OF the once
almost unbeatable Occidental Res
taurant team.
Paul Perkins, the leagues early
season leader and a big factor in
keeping King Pin on top in the
keen flag chase, is runnerup to Sin
ger with an average of 127-41.
Billy Stalcup of Rosslyn, who was
supplanted by Singer when the
Greenway pilot fired the seasons
record score OF 481 just before the
holiday layoff, holds third place
with 127-35. Cletus Pannell. an
other Rosslyn star, is fourth with
1923.
Trailing Litchfield and Harrison
is Ray Watson of Clarendon, sew
enth, 1854. Marty Alexander of
Hi-Skor is eighth with 125-19; Bill
King, Ice Palace, ninth, 124-29, and
Lindsey Stott, King Pin captain,
tenth; 124-14.
Just nosed out of the first 10 are
Tony Santini of Ice Palace and

Dade Surprises Ortiz,
Lifts Bantam Crown
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Harold
Dade, relatively unknown 23-year-
old 12-to-1 underdog, pounded out
a unanimous 15-round decision last
night to end little Manuel Ortizs
five-year reign as the National Box
ing Associations world bantam
weight champion.
Ortiz, putting his title on the block
for the 10th time, took the lead In
the early rounds, but Dade turned
in display of clever boxing that
had the champion foundering vainly
trying to land swinging punches in
the final rounds.
There were no knockdowns. Each
fighter weighed 117A pounds.
The California Mexican from Ell
Centro yielded a crown that he had
defended against all comers since he
won it from Lou Salica in 1912.
Dade, Chicago Negro, built up an
record as an amateur in
the Middle West before he entered
the Navy during the war. He turned
professional after his discharge and
had string of 81 wins in % fights.
A surprised capacity crowd paying
$21 900 saw the upset.

PHILADELPHIA Jan. IA short,
squat aging slugger named Jersey
Joe Walcott was the most likely cam
didate today to become the next
bit of fodder for Heavyweight
Champion Joe Louis cannons-the
same Louis for whom Walcott served
as sparring partner more than 10
years ago.
The Camden, N. j., Negro, who
admits TO 80 years but probably is
closer to 40, earned the dubious
honor of a possible spring bout with
Louis by winning a dull 10-round
decision last night over Joe Maxim
of Cleveland, Ohio. The 24-year -old
Maxim had beaten Walcott in. an
unpopular decision last summer.

Jones PoIishes Boxing
AT Firpo' S Expense
In 1orrid Scrap

As Herbie Jones gets better he
finds the fight game tougher. The
1s-year-old District featherweight
has reached the point where the
medium good fighters, the class he
needs to tackle to gain the right
kind of experience, are wary Of
meeting him.
Jones is southpaw and for many
obvious reasons other fighters don't
like southpaws. Manager Lou Jami-
son, trying to plan campaign for
Herbie, admits he's having trouble
with bookings. Fellows who should
be right in his class just don't want
to meet him. We get offers for
fights away out of his league. Or
we can take on buns who don't
mean thing. Or we have to take
some unorthodox kind of fighter
such as that Danny Carabello we
had last summer at the ball park"
Southpaw Style Tells.
Last night, though, Herbie had
good opposition in fast and tough
Pedro Firpo at Turner's Arena and
earned a decisive victory. 1t wasn't
one-sided, but there was no ques-
ton about the victor. One judge
DR.. j. E. Trigg-saw It as a draw,
which didn't agree with the cheering
verdict of the crowd OF 1,490 Gus
toners. Referee Ray Bowen and
DR.. o. U. Singer, Judge, both voted
Jones.
Making the difference in Herbie's
favor was his southpaw style. He
was able to dance around Firpo and
make the latter miss frequently.
Firpo gave him trouble, though,
particularly in the third when he
had Jones against the ropes and be-
labored him with two-fisted body
attack. Herbie's boxing skill told
and he was able to pepper his slower
opponent, particularly in the late
rounds.
Customers Get Home Early.
The customers went home early
last night as all other bouts ended
In knockouts. Frank Sweeney, Dis
trict middleweight, making his first
fight since his Army discharge, came
back from a second-round knock
down to chill Pedro Bass of Balti-
more in So seconds of the third in
the semifnal. Another local boy,
Light-heavyweight Jimmy Jones,
also got off the floor to win. Knocked
down in the first he got TKO over
Johnny Snead, also of Washington,
at 2:14 of the fourth.
Quickest ending was Stonewan
Jackson's TKO over game Howard
Faulkner of West Virginia, coming
at 2:39 Of the first. Faulkner got
I'D from several knockdowns, then
collapsed without being hit. In the
opener, Johnny Handsburry, Char
lottesville, took TKO over Young
Joe Louis, Washington, at 2:49 OF
the second.

ing held in the New Hanover coun-
ty Jail on charges of assault with
a deadly weapon following a neal

the free-for-all when they arrived.
Moore said that the fight began
when ne interceded in a quar-. ell

person. Sykes, he said, accused
the man of stealing liquor from
him.
AS soon as he told the two men
to go outside if they wanted to
fight, Moore said, someone grab
bed him from behind, pinning his
arms to his side while Sykes struck
him in the face.
Henderson then entered the fray,
according to Moore, and a knife
and a blackjack also entered the
skirmish.
In tae ensuing brawl Moore suf-
Ifered cuts on the face while some
one struck Henderson in the mouth,
cutting a large cash in the side Of
his face.
Moore estimated that damage
totaling around $50 was inflicted
to the building in the course of the
fight, which began shortly after

WASHINGTON, May Z = R =
Telephone strike negotiatoirs were
reported near accord on a wage in
crease OF around II cents an hour
for long distance workers as they
went into a late session tonight.
Government conciliators were
optimistic over the possibility of
agreement before the night ends -
an agreement that might go far to
wind up more than 80 strikes
against Bell System companies
across the country.
But John J.. Moran, president Of
the American Union of Telephone
Workers, the long lines union, told
reporters as he entered the con-
ference room:
mo agreement has been reach
ed"
Another union spokesman said
ne doubted whether the far-hung
strike of Morgan's union against
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph compny's long lines depart
ment could be settled in n sit
ting.
There are still a few things to
be ironed out" he said.
An A. T. & T. spokesman cor
rorbated this.
IT'S going to take a long time
he told neWsmen.

Day-long haggling brought tAe
average increase offered by the
company to around IL cents hour

touch with developments.
This is made up of basic wage
boosts ranging from 81 to 81 week

and other benefits estimated at 81
cents a week over the country.
