The youngster has improved in his hitting, but he still lets the ball play him, as base ball men say, instead of fielding decisively, and continues to be inaccurate in his throwing. After using a flock of players in the ninth inning emergency yesterday Harris had to rearrange his club for the last half of the round. Marberry and Tate became the battel McNeely weit to center fleld and Myer to short- stop. Covey’s triple in the third was a tremendous wallop. The ball rolled to the barrier near the flagpole in cen- ter, and for almost any other mem- ber of the Nationals the hit would been a homer. Covey, though, 1y managed to stagger into third. Johnson was to try to break his los- ing streak this afternoon. Either rod Smith, southpaw, or George ‘was to start for the Tribe.

He will get every ounce of his power and weight into the blow. Hitting is not an arm-swinging motion. Some players do use the arms almost entirely when batting, but they never have a fat batting average and invariably drop out of the minor leagues, if thay ever get that far. The player on the right is batting with an arm swing. Note how weak his method is compared to that of the other player in the plcture. OALIFORNIA CREWS -~ WILL ROW CORNELL| Ititle ©if their division, By the Associated Press ITHACA, N. Y. formia and Cornell varsity and junior varsity crews will meet on Lake Cayuga tomorrow in a 3-mile test, arranged as sort of a preparatory event for the national intercollegiate regatia at Poughkeepsie, N.

Although the Californians have failed to attempt any strenuous row - ing during their stay here, they are favorites over Cornell, regarded by Iastern critics as somewhat of a “mystery.” NETMEN MEET TODAY IN ANNUAL CUP PLAY Final details of the program for the annual Hotchkiss Cup matches, sched- uled to start today at 2:30 on Chevy Chase and Columbia Country Club courts, were lacking at an early hour this afternoon because of the late ar- rival of the Baltimore, Richmond and Norfolk tennis teams that will com- pete with Washington for the honor.
