G.0LISONLY TEAM 10 GAIN VICTORIES Has Won Two of Six Games. Catholic U. and Maryland Yet to “Break lce.” NLESS the tide of fortune changes quickly, this will be the poorest year in a genera- tion or two for college base * ball here. Georgetown, Catholic University and Maryland, the three major institutions supporting the game, all so far have been failures. The Hilltoppers have won two games out of six. Catholic University has dropped five straight, Maryland has lost four in a row. Of 15 games only 2 have been victories for Washington. Georgetown beat Penn State and Boston College. Georgetown has scored 32 runs against 52 for enemies. The Cardinals have scored 12 times against 26 for foemen and the Terrapins have counted 8 times against 19. That makes a total of 97 runs for the opposition against 52 for Washing- | ton teams. Nothing startling was expected of Georgetown, but even so its showing has been a disappointment. Catholic University figured to do better. Mary- land confidently hoped to win 60 per cent of its games. It was accounted considerably stronger that last year when the Terrapins broke even after & poor start. It may be that the Terrapins will duplicate their performance of 1928. ‘They started poorly, but a winning stride developed. Little Gallaudet has played two games and won both by overwhelming scores. But the Kendall Greeners have no major teams booked, except Catholic University. Gallaudet meets the Card- inals today at Brookland. Following are the records for this Spring of Georgetown, Maryland and Catholic University: & Pennsylvania Cornell . orth Carolina . North Carolina Bl ameni O ala | Georgetown is far below its standard. | Losing teams have been rare at the Hill- | top. Whether the Blue and Gray has | been affected by the general decline of college base ball and hasn't taken the | interest of other years or whether its | failure has been due to a dearth of material is a question. Until a year ago Catholic University was a strong base ball school. But 1928 found the Brookland institution with- out a winner for the first time since it took up the game. Maryland has had a few outstanding teams and the Terrapins have managed as a rule to win a majority of games. Yesterday's 7-to-1 defeat by North Carolina was the only one-sided victory scored over Maryland this Spring. Its games with Penn, Cornell and North Carolina State were lost by close mar- gins with bits of erratic fielding figur- ing prominently. North Carolina looms as the cham- pion of the Southern Conference Tri- state League, which includes Maryland. The Tarheels have won two league games and have been victorious in seven out of eight starts. Cornell holds the only decision over them. Auburn Wright, rookie, pitcher, mas- tered Maryland. The Terrapins’ seven | hits were well scattered and there were | seven strikeouts, but Wright was most effective in forcing batsmen to top the ball. Nine Terrapins expired, pitcher HAWKINS Street” 1529 14th St. N.W. Dec. 3320 to first. ‘That may be a collegiate rec- ord. It was Wright's third victory. Poor fielding, as: usual, caused the downfall' of Georgstown in its second clash with Yale. It was a contest until the sixth, when all sorts of bad base ball helped the Bulldogs to get 5 runs and win, 8 to 2. Rain stopped the game with Georgetown at bat in the seventh. The Hilltoppers scored a run that dldn‘t count. Cltholk University, which lost, 7 to 1, to Mount Saint Mary’s, was unable to make its hits count. Three and a half innings were played in the rain and the game called after the seventh. Masi pitched five frames for the Car- dinals and was ineffective. Hurley fin- ished and was nicked for 2 runs. Tomorrow Georgetown will play Har- vard on the Hilltop and on Friday the Crimsn will visit Catholic University. HEAT, RAIN AND HILLS HARRASS BUNIONISTS By the Associated Press. UNIONTOWN, Pa., April 10.—With the toughest grind of the route behind them until they cross the desert, C. C. Pyle’s plodding pilgrims today head for Waynesburg, Pa., on the eleventh leg of their 3400-mile trek. The runners have covered 437 miles. During the last threc days they crossed the Cumberland and Allegheny Mountains, heat and rain combining to make their journey uncomfortable. Yes- terday they traveled 63 miles, from Cumberland, Md., to Uniontown, climb- ing to a height of 2,500 feet while sur- mounting the epaks of the Alleghenies. ‘Today’s jaunt is 33 miles. The long hills forced Nels Neilson, Chicago, out of the race yesterday. Ed Gardner, sturdy Seattle Negro star, continued to show the way in elapsed time. He tops Johnny Salo, Passaic, N. J., policeman, by 1 hour 13 minutes 17 seconds. Salo holds an ad- vantage of 1:33:10 over Peter Gavuzzi, England, who is in third place. COLLEGE BASE BALL. , Yale, 8; Georgetown, 2.

OU LITTLE, director of athletics at Georgetown University, sug- gested today that the star players of Georgetown, Maryland and Catholic Univeralty make up team to play the Quantico Marines a game to aid financially the family of the late Tom Crooke, umpire, who died of injuries received in a bus accident recently. It had been proposed that George- town meet the unmemcclu April 27 at Grifith Stadium. the park having been donated by Clark Griffith, uon' with the services of his col S, trock and Schacht. Georgetown isn’t strong enough to make an attraction of a game with the crack Marines, in Little’s opinion. Hence his suggestion of an all-star team. ‘The District Umpires’ Association, of which Crooke was a member, has charge of the benefit. For the benefit of Mrs. Crooke Wash- ington Redbirds. & newly organized in- dependent unlimited base ball team, has offered to meet some fast team in its class. Dick Hughes, a friend of the late um- pire, is the manager. of the Redbirds and he would like to hear from any | grai team wishing to take part in such a game.

Once during the season, Mrs. Hughes | J°! reported, the War College players will be hostesses to the District association, the date to be announced later. While the District tournaments are held on a Tuesday each month, the day for the weekly play at Washington Barracks, it was found that it would be impossible for the Army women to change their daté as all other dates at the Barracks are inconvenient be- cause of other post activities scheduled at the Officers’ Club or on the golf course. It was voted, therefore, to con- tinue to. play each Tuesday with the understanding that any of the group wishing to do so would absent them- selves once a month in order to com- pete in the District Association event. Mrs. W. D. Connor, wife of the com- mandant of the War College and an enthusiastic golfer herself, whose hand- some trophy, &n resented last year, is the chief inspiratf of the Army group in their efforts to lower their scores, sug- gested a departure from the usual pro- m of prea pairings in the weekly events, to be t into effect once & month.

Mrs. Connor made the suggestion, she said, in order that all members of the group would have an opportunity to meet and play a round with each other. The regular system, which will continue to prevail on the other three Tuesdays of the month, Hlkl off the same persons in the ma. rity of cases each week. Mrs., Thomas M.

In view of these victories and the tie between the Juniors and Senlors when they met yesterday, a serfes tle seems inevitable, in which case Miss Jeanneite Cavanagh, coach, plans to follow the latest basket ball ruling -and total the point scores of| the tying teams to decide the title. Should -the Juniors score over the Freshmen today and the Seniors defeat the Sophomores, the tie will be between the two upper classes. If the Sophs should romp on the Seniors, however, then they would tie the Juniors for ‘honors, euh with two victories credited. Preshmen have been handicapped dur- ing the title play by the absence of several regulars from the line, most of them ruled out on advisory conditions. Betty Buchanan and Marie Smith displayed smooth teamwork in leading the Juniors to victory yesterday over the Sophs.
