Y weather for the col- lege ball player, this—but boy, oh, boy, how the grid- ironer likes it! Spring training at George- town and Catholic University is in full st the players a-sizzle rge Wi try spirit in a backward lot of players. Few have answered the Spring call. Cury Byrd, at Maryland, has not had time to pay much attention to foot ball. In the meantime many of the Terrapin gridders are occuipying themselves with lacrosse and base ball, Bucky Miller, who may get a chance to fill Snyder's grid shoes, got under war in base ball the other day without preliminary training. His debut was quite a sensation under the circum- stances. He hit a home run and three singles. Crum, who has been undecided whether to remain at George Washing- ton, has every reason to feel discour- aged. His team had a poor season in '28 and some of its best men are about to be graduated. They include Lope- man, Barrow, Sanders,. Goldman and Allshouse. Material has never been abundant at George Washington, and Crum is on the lookout now for any students who merely might have the makings of foot ball &llyem. Among prospects with experience are Billisolly, Adams, Shelry, Boyle, Griggs, Parks, Gates, Swartout and Goldman. Crum may find some solace in the fact that the Colonials’ schedule for 1929 is not as stiff as last year’s. Harvard’s ball team, frozen out of a game with Georgetown yesterday, was scheduled to play Catholic University today at Brookland. North Carolina is visiting Marylangs ‘The Tar Heels hold one decision over the Terrapins. Tomorrow will be one of the dullest Saturdays of the college Spring season. No major ball game is scheduled here. Richmond University will meet Catholic U. at tennis. e Maryland supporters haven't given up hope for a championship victory in the Tristate League of the Southern Con- ference, although the Terrapins have lost two games and won only one. The chance is at hand to even matters with North Carolina, which defeated Mary- land, 7 to 1, at Chapel Hill. North Caro- line State won from the Terrapins by the skimpiest margin. It is & general opinion that Coach Burton Shipley will have his team click- ing before long and fulfilling its pre- season promise. George Wi is making a late start in base Its opening game was scheduled for today with the United ‘Typewriter team, on diamond No. 4 of the Monument Lot. Babe Clapper was to pitch for the Colonials, with Young catching. It is the first of a serles of three games. ‘Tomorrow the Typists will meet Gal- | 8ki laudet on the St. Alban's field at 3| Thor o'clock, Bucky O'Neil, the Georgetown' says the Hilltoppers, who have won only THE SPORTLIGHT y GRANTLAND RICE. The Best Outfield. . EAR MR. RICE: I fully realize that it is the inalienable right of every one to pick his favor- ite men of sport, whether it be in golf, billiards, base ball or parcheesi—if, indeed, the latter may be considered a sport—therefore, far be it from me to attempt to even infer t.hncyoutrewronlvenyouml“da: few sumhfilg; anent famous “out- flelds” of 3 You mention, however, Cobb, Craw- ford and Veach as-the strongest out- field_on offense, -Perl they were, in fact probable, the h.m:un “Phillie” outfield of which I am about to make mention—because at that time you were not in the sports writing business, if I am not in error, and if I am, what of it? I refer to Ed Delehanty, Sam Thompson and Billy Hamilton of the Philadelphia Nationals, who flourished before the - American League was formed. Surely no one will doubt the hitting ability of Delehanty, who once hit four home runs in one game! And, incident~ ally, his team lost the game. am Thompson was one of the sur- vivors of the era of the moustache. He could hit that pill and how! He remains one of the pre-eminent out- flelders of base ball history. His bat- ting average requires no apology. His fielding was well nigh perfect. Billy Hamilton! What a name to conjure with. The bane of every pitch- er's life, with his base-stealing propen- sities. Where are the Billy Hamilton's of today? I repeat—where are they? And Billy was no slouch with a bat and at fielding — who, today, is rior? 5 mglee was the Ty Cobb of his period, a period when base ball players we know were not “press agented.” Ham- flton could hit, run bases, fleld, think, was lightning fast, hard to pitch to and a constant worry to the opposing CONSTRUCTION TEAM 1S DUCKPIN WINNER Construction No. 1 is the new cham- plon of the Southern Railway Class B Bowling League, having delivered the deciding blow on the final night when Disbursing No. 1 was whitewashed.

Sriiond ROBERT G. STILWELL. In regard to the master eye in golf, it might be stated that a golfer with a good swing who is nearly blind, is sure to score much better than a golfer with a bad swing, who has the two finest eyes ever set in a human head. It's the swing that counts in golf, and no one ever yet has been caught hit- ting a golf ball with his eyes. 1 asked Joe Kirkwood what he con- sidered the feature of Horton Smith's play. ";‘ll tell you,” sald Joe, “It's about this way—he hits every shot with the same and each swing is about perfect.” That, in the short or long run, is calculated to produce results. “The circus,” says an exchange, “has driven all the fighters out of Madison Square Garden.” All out? How many fighters are there in the offing who could whip an elej t, & lion, a tiger, a leopard or a grizaly? “A thing that has ‘ fe,” L. F., “is how they ever kept these golfers out bf the movies.” Any major league club strong enough to survive the modern training seasan they have piled on the weary athletes ought to be good enough to win two pennants.

He came through with a decisive victory over Tommy Grogan, game and deter~ mined 135-pounder from Omaba in their l?imund battle at Olympia Arena last night. The bout, after an ordinary start, be- came a thriller in the closing rounds with Wallace opening up in the sixth ts thereafter that turned the tide in his favor.
