CAPS Beaten 9Th Time in Row
By Royals, Try Again Tonight

The Caps, frustrated in their
attempts to beat the Rochester
Royals, will try again tonight. as
the two National Basketball AS
sociation teams square of at $3.50
o'clock at Uline Arena.
If the Caps should break the
Rochester jinx, it would be a
much-needed morale booster. The
Royals have won eight straight
games from Washington, includ-
ing a clean sweep of six meetings
last season. They whipped the
Caps in the first game of this
season and again last night in
Rochester, 87-71.
That was the fourth straight
loss for the Caps. The season has
been one bitter disappointment
after another for Player-Coach
Bones Mckinney, who had visions
of knocking down the opposition
with a combination of speed and
accuracy.
Bill Sharman. the great rookie
from Southern California, will see
some action tonight. Sharman has
been out of the lineup for a week
nursing an injured ankle.
The Caps. now tied with Balti-
more for last place in the Eastern
Division, seem to have an individ-
ual as we'll as team problem. No
one player. with the exception of
Freddie Scolari and Frank Ku-
delka are playing up to expecta-
tons. The others are having
good nights only occasionally.
Scolari scored six field goals in
q row before missing last night
and wound up with eight goals
and foul shot for II points, high
for both teams.

.Cdmone Only Up
On Shoemaker After
Failing in 8 Races
BY the As,ociaied Press

Jockey Joe Culmone had only
six more victories than Willie
Shoemaker as they resumed their
duel today for the National rid
ing title.
Shoemaker, back at Hollywood
Park in California yesterday after
his one day of competition against
Culmone at Bowie. Md, on Mon
day, won with two Of: his six
mounts-Gailwest. $3.50. and His
Regards, $3.50.
Meanwhile, at Bowie, Culmone
failed in all eight races. although
he rode four seconds and a third.
That was quite a difference from
Monday, when little Joe won six
races to wee Willie's one.
Gong into today's competition.
Culmone had a season total Of
$50 to his rivals 344.

The suspicion is that II the boys had traded
mounts, Shoemaker would have won the day
equally as decisively.
Ironically, before their duel large gentle
man named Harry Silbert was asked what
happens to California racing sensations when
they come East. The failures of Your Host and
Moor were fresh in mind.
Silbert, who is Shoemaker's agent, looked
surprised. "You can reverse that question" he
said. What happens to the Eastern horses
when they come to California? Hill Prince

not have to take the full Is per

Earlier today Hogan, who re-
portedly earned about $1,000 last

tight at Lynn because Greenberg
still talked in terms of 25 per
cent cut" and II want the same
salary I received last season."
After that, Greenberg telephoned
him from New York.

George Washington too will run
into a lot of trouble before they

Tuesday night. for instance, they
are playing a very hot quintet
that showed it's stuff in winning
five OF six games against District
public high competition. What S
more. that game is being played
right in Hyattsville's oack yard
and the Hornets are sure to have
big crowd roofing for them.
Tech might be a team worthy of
solid backing. The Maroons were
in top form yesterday while beat
ing Eastern for the District title,
and they've made a practice of
winning all the important games.
One of their three defeats was by
3 points to American U. Jayvee's,
another was to Coolidge which it
later beat when it meant some
thing in the playoffs, and the other
to Gonzaga, which it also beat.
But right at the start Gonzaga
might upset the Tech applicant.
1t won the last game between these
two and last week came through
with one of the seasons upsets
over st. Johns.
And SO it goes throughout the
whole list. None of the teams can
feel confident even about getting
past the first round. There isn't
a soft touch in the tournament.

Charles plan must have come
out of the blue
I'm my opinion" said Gold. "he
didn't think he was in good enough
shape for my boy"
DR.. j. w. Bayliss, an x-ray
specialist, reported today the
plates showed Charles had crack
at the tip of the eighth rib on the
left side.
| Gold said he questioned this
because he was unable to set
permission from either the physi-
clan or Mintz to see the X-ray
plates. He also said, Jake viz
tually admitted to me last night
that this postponement was asked
for because of his fighters con-
dition."
Gold said he met Mintz at a
restaurant and the latter invited
him to step into a telephone booth
with him. where the following
conversation ensued:
Mintz-"Look. what are your
expenses up to noW?"
Gold-"I've spent about $2,500
up to now"
Mintz-"I'll reimburse you that

will let me out of this fight. I'll
give you the $500 and then I'll
straighten it out with (Promotero
