Outdoor Ring Outlook
Drab for Home Boys,
No Crowd Pleasers
With the indoor light season
•nded and the big-paying summer
outdoor session just around the
comer. Washington light promoters
find themselves in the poor posi
tion of not having a real hot local
boxer on hand. Nobody was dis
covered during the indoor lights
to match in drawing power such
sensations of past winters as
Smuggy Hursey, Aaron Perry, Bee
Bee Washington, Lew Hanbury and
the like.
Middleweight Ken Stribling came
away from the winter campaign
as about the best attraction and
he dropped his last bout. Others
who did a reasonable amount of
winning were Lightweights Sonny
boy West and Herbie Jones and
Featherweights Red Gaddis and
Jimmy Cooper. None, however, has
demonstrated the kind of box of
fice appeal that would make for
real big lights. Promoters this sum
mer may have to draw on out-of
town hot shots for their big gates.
Gaddis was having a grand sea
son until last night, when he lost
an eight-rounder to Henry Lassain
of Houston, Tex., in the windup
at Turner’s Arena. It wasn't a par
ticularly exciting light. In other
eights, Lew Yonkers decisioned
Johnny Arduini and Terry Gibson
took a fourth-round technical kayo
over Kid Willie.
The bantamweight brawl between
Yonkers and Arduini was one of
the best scraps of the indoor sea
son. Both were slugging all the
way, demonstrating little science,
but lots of heart.
In prelims, Angelo Marini won
over A1 Harris and Garland Ed
wards did the same to Big Sid Ger
ald, in fours. Edwards is a prelim
boy who’s been doing very well
lately, and he's due to move up
into faster company.
Jackson Will Rejoin G. W..
Golfers, Losers to V. P. I.
Doug Jackson, one of the top
amateurs at Indian Spring Club,
who played in the second spot for
the George Washington U. golfers
last season, will rejoin the Colonial
team for the remainder of its
matches.
Jackson will strengthen the
Colonial lineup all down the line.
G. W. lost its third match in four
starts yesterday, bowing to V. P. I„
6%-2%, at Kenwood, with Billy
Griffin and Harry Kettles scoring
the only G. W. points and Jerry
Wagshall earning a draw.
Griffin remains unbeaten in col
lege competition, although he has
been held even twice in G. W.’s
four matches.
Central, Coolidge teams
Romp to Track Wins
Track teams from Central and
Coolidge boosted their interhigh
meet hopes by scoring dual meet
triumphs yesterday. Central had
fewer winners than Anacostia, but
more balance and won, 67% to 50%
over the Indians. Coolidge defeated
Western, 64-45.
Some outstanding performances
of the two meets included a 4:54
schoolboy mile by Charles Wood
ward of Anacostia, triumphs in two
hurdle events by Leroy Blankenship
of the Indians, victories in the 100
and 220 yard dashes by Robert
Dixon of Anacostia and double
triumphs by White of Western and
De Moss of Coolidge.

Bell 'Pitching' Again to Raise Olympic Fund
Sandlot Hurling Won Danny Fame Long Before He Became Bank President
By Lewis F. Atchison
It has been 36 years since Dan
ny Bell first went to the mound
and pitched Treasury to victory
in the Government League, but
Mike Slindee, who managed the
team, still vividly recalls the oc
casion.
"Danny was from Kinderbrook,
a small town in Illinois, and said
he had pitched a little when I
asked about his baseball back
ground.” Mike recalled. "So I i
told him to do his best and not I
to be discouraged if I had to
take him out. Then he went out
and struck out 15 batters and
won the game without drawing a
deep breath.”
It’s been a long time since that
illustrious dehut and Daniel W.
Bell stayed in there and pitched
for the Government up until a
couple of years ago when he
walked across Pennsylvania ave
nue from the Treasury and hung
his hat in an American Security
and Trust Co. office marked
"President.” He doesn’t get much
time for baseball or any other
sport now, nor does Michael E.
Slindee, executive assistant to the
Treasurer of the United States.
But both like to pause once in a
while and reminisce about the
old days on the White Lot.
In business, as on the hill, Bell
had plenty of swift on the ball,
plenty of poise and steady con
trol. He was a “natural” when
Avery Brundage was looking
around for a man to head the
District's Olympic Committee.
This group must raise $17,500 to
help defray the United States
team’s expenses in London this
summer and it seems the goal
will be reached on schedule.
But we’d heard a lot about
Danny Bell long before he was
Undersecretary of the Treasury or
president of the Community
Chest Federation. Any old-timer
would recall him instantly as a
licorice-ball pitcher with a knuc
kler that faded away like the
bright dreams of youth. And he
knew how to handle the hickory
at the plate.
"He could play any position
well,” Lindee told us, “but he was
used mostly at second after he
quit pitching.”
Bell figured in one of the great
est sandlot mound duels ever
waged on a local lot, a struggle
a certain Mike Flannery never
forgot. Flannery, pitching for
Interior, allowed only one hit
and fanned 23 batters. Bell, toil
ing for War Department, gave up
three hits and struck out 10.
Darkness ended the scoreless
struggle after 11 innings.
“The irony of it,” Bell recalls,
“is that Flannery, first man up
in the ninth inning, hit a three
bagger and couldn’t get home.”
The following week Danny got
snarled up in another pitcher’s
battle in the Sunday School
League. It may have been
against Buck Becker, one of his
most persistent rivals, but at any
rate it ended in another score
less stalemate* The string of 30

consecutive scoreless innings was
a record that apparently still
stands.
But Bell didn’t strike ’em all
out. Big Reds Downey, who had
a couple of years With Brooklyn
before coming to work at the
Treasury where his father was
controller, got his share of base
knocks ' off Danny. “Dutch”
Kenny, a left-hand hitter, al
most tore his head off one day

Lot and "Country" Morris belted
one so far at the First and M
streets (N.E.) diamond they never
did find the ball.
The chief attraction of those
days was the intercity series
with the champions of Richmond
and Baltimore, and from 1913
to 1918, inclusive, Bell and his
playmates made the trophy more
or less their own personal prop
erty. It's still in the chief clerk's
office at the Treasury. But one
of the season's most pleasant
jaunts was a week’s trip on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland.
"We’d get 10 or 11 players to
gether, chip in $10 or $11 each
and spend a week playing ball on
the Eastern Shore. We had a
nice boat ride down Chesapeake
Bay, good food and plenty of rest
and after splitting the gate re
ceipts and paying all expenses
it would only cost about $3,” Bell
said.
Danny has reached the golfing
stage, of his athletic career, but
even this was interrupted by the
war and the layoff played havoc
with his score. It rose about 10
points from the low 80s. But Bell
hopes to get that little matter
straightened out this summer
after the District’s Olympic Com
mittee has sent a check for
$17,500 to headquarters.
Bobo Swisher Resigns

resigned as backfleld coach at
Loyola University at Los Angeles.

U. S. Picks 3 Olympic
Marathon Hopes From
Race Canadian Wins
ly rt» Associated Press
BOSTON, April 30.—Three disap
pointed Boston marathoft runners,
forced to chase Canadian Gerry
Cote as he won his fourth Boston
A. A. triumph, today appeared as
sured of United States Olympic team
berths.
They are National Champion Ted
Vogel; two-time winner, Johnny
Kelley, and Ollie Manninen. When
Vogel finished second, 44 seconds be
hind Cote, and the others fourth and
fifth respectively, they drew the fav- j
orable attention of Chairman Ed-j
ward S. Parsons of the United States j
Olympic Marathon Selection Com-j
mittee.
“We will recommend their ap
pointments and I am certain each
of them will compete in London next
summer,” Parsons explained.
Cote, who covered the 28 miles.
325 yards hilly course from Little
Hopkinton to this city in 2.3.1:02,
5 minutes 23 second slower than the
race’s record, is confident he will be
selected for Canada’s Olympic mara
thon team.
Vogel, the prerace favorite, ran
shoulder to shoulder with Cote for
23 miles, only to have the latter call
upon his wealth of experience to
pull away on “Heartbreak Hill," the
stiffest of the several steep grades
on the course.
While they were scraping elbows,
Vogel became irked because, he
charged, Cote was bumping him,
crossing in front of him and spray
ing his legs with water whenever he
doused his own head.
“I had to warn Cote I would take
a punch at him if he didn’t give me
enough running room,” Vogel ex
plained after the race.
The third place went to Jesse Van
Zandt, a Boston A. A. entry, who
was not given Olympic considera
tion because he was running his
first marathon.

In Move Against Fever,
Sy the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 20.—In a pre
cautionary move against the pos
sible outbreak of swamp fever, the
New York Racing Associations have
destroyed a race horse stabled at
Jamaica and ordered postmortem
blood tests.
The horse, the Rusty Stable’s For

Eastern-Mount Vernon Clash
Headlines Schoolboy Action
Eastern High School s baseball
team plays host to Mount Vernon
tomorrow at 3:30 in the feature
game on this week’s scholastic
schedule.
The Ramblers, who claim one of
the snappiest infields seen in a long
time on schoolboy diamonds, are
favored by most observers to romp
away with the Washington public
high championship.
The strength of that infield is
further demonstrated by the three
way battle for regular occupancy of
third base. With Dave Zats, en
sconced in the first-base spot, Spike
Bauroth holding down second and
BUI Kallas set at short, third stUl is
a auestion mark.
Harry K alias, BUl’s younger
brother; Paul Merola and Bob
Spence all have their bids in for
the job and all have been showing
weU, which leaves Coach RoUand
Lund with a tough choice.
Merola held down the job for the
first two games, but Lund gave Kal
las a try at it in last Friday’s
championship game with Coolidge.
Eastern is playing one of the
better area teams in Mount Vernon.
The Mounts have won six straight,
including a 10-0 victory over Wilson,
dark horse of the lnterhigh race.
In other games tomorrow Roose
