" LeGendre and Connoll SP ORTS. HILLTOP PAIR LIKELY TO SCORE MANY POINTS BY H. C. BYRD. L and 14, E GENDRE and Connolly of Georgetown and Chamberlain of Vir- ginia seem certain to be the outstanding stars of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate A. A. track and ficld meet at the Hilltop, May 13 Performances of these men during other meets this spring and at the Pennsylvania relay games Saturday, were such that no others in the section are likely to come anywl Le Gendre, at a fair estimate, should score from fiftcen to twenty points for Georgetown. Undoubtedly he will be entered in several events and_probably will get points in_each. In broad jumping he stands better than an even chance to win, in the javelin throw he should get first or second. he will win one of the hurdle races. possibly both, and may score in the shotput and dashes. Connolly probably will win the middle-dis- tance event into which he puts the most of his energies, and then be strong enough to come back and finish_second or better in another race longer than the half mile. Chamberlain HBest Jumper. No high jumper in the south can touch Chamberlain. The lanky Vir ginia athlete will win that hands down unless he has an off day; and in this case the most likely man to beat him out for first position is Archer, a_teammate. George Washington University and Maryland hardly have between them a man who can be counted upon as having anything more than the most remote chance to win a first place. If they have, the athlete has yet to show himself in open meets. Catholic University seems to be intent on de- veloping a team, with special consid- eration for the south Atlantic meet. It must have something “up its sleeve.” 1If not. it will be difficult to understand why it has not taken part in other games. i Opinion of those familiar with the strength of the track and fleld squads in the south Atlantio section is that the meet this vear will be the best in years; perhaps. the best the as-|thin here near equaling them. sociation has fostered since its or- ganization. However, it might be well to say that nothing has happen- d so far to alter the conclusion reached some time ago. namely, that the winning of the meet lies between Virginia_and Georgetown. with the ances favoring the former. Johnny Holden, former Central High hool runner. ran the second relay for Pennsylvania in the college fresh- man championship race in the Penn relays Saturday and in so doing gave Ia performance which at the same time showed natural ability and stickto- itiveness. He lost one of his shoes near the 220-yard mark and covered the final hair o fhis quarter bare- foot. That meant a big disadvantage, et Holden beat his man. ohns Hopkins is entered to com- pete in the south Atlantic games at orgetown and in_the middle states hampionships at Baltimore on_ the same day. Much interest has been «vineed by local schools as to which nieet would get the preference. Joe England, one of the Hopkins coaches, has this to say: “We are going to send our whole squad to the preliminaries of the south Atlantic games on Friday and all the men who qualify for the finals Saturday will be sent back to George- town. Those who do not qualify will be kept in Baltimore to take part in the middle states meet. In the distance events we shall split our entries. as we have sufficient good men in the mile and two miles to make a good showing in each, I HOMERS AS PLENTIFUL AS STOLEN BASES NOW BY GEORGE CHADWICK. In fact, the total oi purloined sacks is not much greater than the STOLEN bases in the big league season thus far have been mighty few. homte-run record to date. The shower of homers is as amazing as the paucity of thefts. It used to be the other way—the circuit wallop infrequent, the pilfered base abundant. ‘The heavy-muscied Yankees, batters that they are, have stolen only a base or two, yet are stubbonly heralded to win a championship. Has there been a title ever won in base ball by | a team which can steal so few.| It's & question full of meat to put up| 10 the fans who think and the man- agers who observe. ‘Why are there so few stolen bases? Can't players run as well as they could? Are the pitchers more shrewd and the catchers better throwers? On the whole, it is not the decreas- ing speed of players or the increasing akill of pitchers and catchers. ‘The best answer to the query about 1aék of base running is lack of initia- tive on the part of the players. individual has been submerged to such an extent that he expects to team up on everything, even getting around the bases. The runner will not leave first base except by en- couragement from the batsman. Standing on first, the runner keeps his eyes glued to the batten to see whether a hit-and-run play is to be tried or whether he is to be advanced by a sacrifice. SPORTS.’ ly of G.

Entrants for the eleventh annual city duckpin championships to start next Monday night on the Grand Cen- tral drives will be classified this week by a committee including Chairman J. A. Redmond, Arthur Urban, A. W. [ Allen and Irvin T. Belt. These men Were appointed yesterday at a meet- ing of the Washington City Duckpin Association, which controls the title tournament. They will examine the entries tomorrow and Wednesday and assign the bowlers to the three classes in which championships will be at stake. The entry list closed Saturday at midnight, It five-man teams, 200 doubles teams and 300 singles ¢ontestants will strive for prizes. The membership of the duck- pin association is greater this year than ever. but the tournament en- tries are less than the record estab- lished last season. Practically all of the first-class duckpinners of the city, however, will compete. Harry B. Halley, a popular bowling veteran, who was expected to head the classification committee, has noti- fied the association that important business would prevent him assisting in the conduct of the tournament this year. He has held important posi- tions at the title event since its in- ception. AND MILDRED He is ‘Watson Washburn and Chuck Gar- land probably will be the only other| members of the Davis cup team to play before President Harding and his' guests Saturday. William M. Johnston, the Californian, will not be able to come east and Samuel Hardy, captain-manager of the players who invaded England and Australia so successfully, is suffering from rheu- matism. and although he will be here, he is unlikely to wield a racket.

Neither has a chance at the title, but the game will decide the cellar champion. Each has played and lost three games. The series will be concluded Fri- day, whe Central and Tech will be opponents.

WEAR COLUMBIA COLORS BY LAWRENCE PERRY. N EW YORK, May 2—Columbia sent two crews to the titasatonid river on Saturday which exemplified the highest tenets of the art of driving shell through the water at high speed with a minie mum of physical destructive effort. Of all aquatic instructors, James Rice stands foremost in the application of the element of good form, rhythm and beauty to an eight-oared crew. He has not always had the weight and that which it imples, power, in his boats, and this has militated against sequential success. But always a Rice- coached crew is an inspiring outfit to watch. His The of Rowing. Jim Rice's theory of rowing is that the swinging of “sweeps should be as natural as walking. There is but one way to row, he maintains, and that is fn the manner that comes most natural. Putting this_ theory into practical effect, Rice develops eights that apply power with a min- imum expenditure of effort. In this respect hq has never done a better job than with the two eights, the varsity and junior crews that nego- tiated the two miles on the Housa- tonic Saturday at a stroke that sel- dom went above thirty to the min- ute, pulling away from the Yale crews, which were swinging at a higher beat. Those Yale eights are rather puz- zling. Certainly they are not row- in the superb form that Guy Nickalls develops. Their stroke was somewhat choppy and the power ap- plied inboard did not seem to be im- parted to the blades. Yale still is in the experimental stages and it would manifestly be unfair at this time to pass definite judgment upon either the varsity or second varsity boats. Pennsylvanla eights, though beat- en by the great Navy crews, did well on that tumultous ocean. which the Middies used as a rowing course. Track fans who spent two moist days at the Penn relays felt repaid for the colds they caught, chiefly be- cause they saw Desch work to a 440-yard hurdle record with as little effort as a flat runner making equal time. The other high spot was the great half that Tommy Campbell breezed through. On the gummy track his 1.54 effort will always stand out as one of “the” half miles. The high jumpers, four of whom cleared 6.2%, deserve special mention because they worked under the heaviest handicap on the field. As an athletic reunion the relay carnival was the usual success; nearly every athlete whose name stands bes side an American record was present: REDS AND FREEBOOTERS IN POLO CONTEST TODAY ‘War Department Reds and the Free- booters are to swing into action at 4 o'clock this afternoon on the field in Potomac Park in the last of the first round matches of the Army's =pring polo tournament.
