Perce Henry had his dynamite pill working in the Round Robin games at the Capitol Alleys, Sunday, and the result was a total of 862, which led the field. Jess Pritchett, after a slow start, came through with games of 245 and 233 to cop second place on 857. Others to enter the select circle Sunday were: Cobler. 809; Richert, 827; Haislup, 826; L. Fox. 812; Bowen, 811, and Hornberger, 804. For the first time since play started in this event the average has fallen under the 200 mark. “Red” Mounts is still in first place with 3,983: Cobler has 3.975; Pritchett. 3.971; A1 Striebeck, 3,942; Joe Fulton, 3.903 and Charles Cray. 3,897. Next Sunday’s meet will be rolled on Pritchett’s Recreation drives.

Charlie Bailey, local booster of ten pins and sponsor of the Bailey Realty team, is taking care of local entries for this meet and making up an Indianapolis card for Slarch 10. Manager Moran of the St Philip alicy* is busy arranging final details dnd getting the alleys in the best of shape for the singles sweepstakes to be held on his orives next week-end.

' Same Problem Confronts Cubs and Sox, That of Improving Short and Second Talent
B-y United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—Both the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox face the prospect of developing rookies for the vital shortstop and second base positions if they are to keep “right up’’ in the money this year. The first contingent of Cubs already are in training camp. An advance guard of White Sox players will leave Feb. 28. Nearly fifteen players and catchers are in the group at Avalon, Catalina Island, Cal., where the Cubs are getting into trim. The 13 infielders and outfielders, completing a list of 30 players McCarthy ordered to report for spring practice, will leave Thursday. The White Sox again will do their pre-season cavorting at Shreveport, La. With one of the strongest pitching and catching staffs in the National League, and a hard-hitting, fast-fielding outfit, Manager McCarthy must develop a fast doubleplay combination for short and second if the Cubs are to battle for the pennant. “Sparky” Adams, diminutive second baseman, who acted as anchorman last year, was traded to Pittsburgh for Hazen Cuyler, leaving Elwood English and Clyde Beck, each with but one year major league experience, and Fred Maguire, who starred with Toledo in the Ameri-
with 696, while Mrs. Honnold and T. Tompkins showed with a score of 943. Frank Kartheiser, the Chicago star, turned in the first 300 score ever rolled in the International Bowling Association’s tourney, which has been in existence for twenty years. This year’s meet is being held in St. Paul. Minn., and as it has the sanction of the A. B. C., Frank will be in line for the gold medal award. Pritchett’s Recreation of the Capitol NO. 1 League led the field during last week’s plav with 2.995 on games of 953, 1,012 and 1,028. The Century Alley Five was next with 2,979. The coming Elks National tourney to be rolled in Louisville has reached the proportions of one of the major bowling events of the yea?: ranking second only to the American Bowling Congress meet to be held in Kansas City. The local Elks will send a large delegation and expect to return with a large slice of the prize money as present and past champions of this meet are local bowlers. One of the favorite teams from Indianapolis to cop the title is the Marott Shoe Shop squad composed of Rassmussen, Wiesman, Cray. Cobler. L. Fox and F. Fox. Another real pin spilling outfit is E. Meyer, J. Pritchett. B. Johnson and J. Blue. PRACTICES LAW IN WINTER Don Miller, one of the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, coaches football at Georgia Tech in the fall, but practices law in Cleveland, Ohio, the remainder of the year. Miss Lillian Jenkinson, 21-year-old Nebraska Girl, is believed to be the only woman who has the right to ride on any track in the United States.

He said the deal had been completed in New York, that President Stoneham had told why the trade was made, that he did not dodge the reporters and that he had nothing more to say, no matter how much questioning. “There has been a great deal written about it. No one gives us credit for getting two fine young ball players,” McGraw said. The batterymen still are undergoing vigorous training including | mountain climbing and long hikes. | McGraw said he believed Andy Cohen would fit in well at second j base in place of Hornsby and that j both Francis Hogan and Jimmy> Welsh, obtained in the trade with j Boston that made Hornsby a brave, were excellent young ball players.

hander, who dropped 10 and won 9 for Atlanta, and Roy Hansen, formerly of Reading. McCarthy expects Malone to be able to take a regular turn on the mound along with Root, Carlson Bush and Blake. “Gabby” Hartnett again will do the bulk of the receiving with old Mike Gonzales assisting. John Churry and Louis Leggett will battle for the bull-pen job. Ray Schalk, beginning his second year as manager of the Sox, will take south the highest-priced minor leaguer the Sox ever bought in Chalmer Cissell. Louis Comiskev paid $123,000 for theformer Pacific coast league shortstop. Practically every high-priced minor league star who has come up to the majors within the last decade has needed at least a year in which to become acclimated. Schalk is expected to move Hunnefield, who played short last year, to second base because of his slugging. Clancy, one of last year’s rookies, will play first, as the Sox released Earl Shecly to Sacramento. Captain Kamm seems a fixture at third. Bill Mostil, whose despondency led him to attempt suicide at the training camp last spring, has recovered and will be back in center field. His come-back wifi be watched with interest, for if Mostil returns to his old form the Sox will have a powerful offensive outfield. Bib Falk and Bill Barrett, both sluggers of ability, will patrol the two side gardens. In Ted Lyons, Tommy Thomas and Ted Blankenship, aided by the veteran Red Faber, Schalk has what is considered by many to be one of the best pitching staffs in the league. But the Sox catching staff is just ordinary.

Star Matmen Meet Tonight in St. Louis Lewis and Stecher Grapple to Settle Long-Stand-ing Dispute. Bn United Press ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.—Ed (Strangler) Lewis of Kansas City and Joe Stecher, Dodge City, Neb., were to meet here tonight to settle theii dispute over the. world’s heavyweight wrestling championship. Since 1925, when Wayne Munn tossed Lewis out of the ring at Kansas City, the title has been claimed by both Lewis and Stecher. Lewis has contended he retained the title because he was fouled by Munn. Stecher claims the championship by virtue of his defeat of Stanislaus Zbyszko, the Pole, who threw Munn after Munn won over Lewis. Both claimants have toured the country as the world’s champion

and the dispute has injured the wrestling game. The last match between the two men was in 1920 and was won by Lewis. Since that victory he has refused to meet Stecher. In 1916 Lewis and Stecher met in Omaha and wrestled five hours to a draw. Tonight’s match, it is conceded, will be mainly a test of endurance. Stecher will weigh 225 pounds and Lewis 228.
