Marx Nine, All-High
Combination, Goes
To U. S. Tourney
In past years the All-High base
ball team was Just a dream team.
It vvas a team that on paper figured
to licjc practically any other group
of local boys the same age, but it
, just was on paper.
This year it was different, the All
High team became a real team. And
as everybody figured, it beat' every
body else. Not every time, but
enough times to become the cham
pion of the National City Junior
League, top local loop of 18-year
olds.
Now the boys are heading for
Johnstown, Pa., and the national
championship tourney of the All
America Baseball Congress which
opens next Thursday. The local
boys have a good chance of winning
there, too, because by now they’ve
shaken down into a well-knit team
doing everything expected of an All
High nine.
Jim Munro, the former Central
High coach who’s done a lot of work
'wit% boys around town, took the
All-High team off paper and put
it on the field. He got the best
from the eight local schools, and
under sponsorship of the Marx
Jewelry Co. it won eight of its 10
league games, aside from innumer
able week-end encounters nut
town.
The Marx Jewelers were beaten
only by the Costello and GPO nines,
and they beat them back. Costello
fiinished second in the league, and
what All-High players aren’t on the
Marx team are playing for Costello.
Of the 30 players selected by local
newspapers on first and second All
High teams, 12 are with Marx.
These are: Pitchers Tex Jones and
Bill Witzel of Coolidge, and Bob Jones
of Tech; Catchers Sal Dl Glorgi
of Eastern and Pat O’Neill of Wil
son; Inflelders Bobby Rohr and Jess
Houston of Coolidge; Bill Kallas,
Francis Wesley and Marty Cribbins
of Eastern, and Outfielders Dick
Janigian of Wilson and Jim Colllton
of Coolidge.
Benny Duvall of Woodward wasn’t
eligible for All-High, but he was as
good as these others and plftyed
with Marx this summer. Late ad
ditions to the club for its trip to the
nationals, taken from other teams
in the league as permitted by Con
gress rules, are A1 Berling and John
Hogan from Gonzaga and Harry
Brlghtman of Randnlnh-Marnn

leading pros of the two countries at
Southport, England, in 1937, when
the Americans won, 8-4. Since Ryder

give up on it and I’m not going
to quit with it either.”

Bettie Roland, Tinkham Head

oeiue koiana oi raKoma
Park out to defend the 100-yard
breaststroke and backstroke crowns
and Stanley Tinkham, Ambassador
Club champion, aiming to retain the
220-yard breaststroke title, the Dis
trict AAU senior outdoor swim
ming championships will be de
cided Monday night at the Takoma
pool.
Miss Roland and Tinkham will
rule heavy favorites to keep the
cups they won in the 1946 meet.
Just to keep in practice. Miss Ro
land took both events in an invita
tional meet at Lancaster, Pa., last
week end, while Tinkham, the
Michigan University flash, was
swimming away with the honors in

meet in Sarasota, Fla. Tinkham is

lina.
Leola Thomas, another Ambassa
dor star, will be gunning for the

Chairman Joe Bertolini an
nounced that no meet entries will

Yarosz After September Fight
Here if He Beats B. B. Monday
Tommy Yarosz, the Pittsburgh
phantom, whose record of 60
triumphs in 62 matches makes him
one of the standout boxers in both
the middleweight and light-heavy
weight race, yesterday made himself
available for a big September bout
here, contingent upon victory next
Monday night at Griffith Stadium
in his fight with Bee Bee Washing
ton, the Foggy Bottom battler.
Already paving scored one tri
umph over Washington (in Pitts
burgh last February when Two Bees
came in as an llth-hour substitute)
the 25-year-old Yarosz, through his
manager, Bunny Buntag, said he
would like to have either Georgie
Abrahams, Washington middle
weight, or Smuggy Hursey, the Dis
trict’s latest rage.
Yarosz said he is particularly
anxious to fight Abrams, for he
would like to avenge in part a close
decision Georgie took from his
brother, Teddy, the former middle
weight champion, some years ago
in the ring in which he is boxing
next week. Teddy is Tommy’s chief
confidante and one of his trainers.
As for Hursey, Yarosz said he
would like to check the 13-match
streak of the local lad and eliminate
another threat to the middleweights
even though Ring Magazine has
rated Tommy as the third ranking
light-heavyweight challenger for
Gus Lesnevich's crown.
But Two Bees, who waged a rous
ing battle against Yarosz last
, winter, could upset the applecart,
project himself smack dab into the
fistic spotlight again and grab a
choice September plum in the clos
ing show of the outdoor season.
