2 SPORTS. BETTER CLUB AIDS L00P, AVERS PREXY Sees Goslin’s Homer Beat Macks and Put Griffs in First Place. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ASE BALL—the American League end of it—is to en- joy a great season, finan- cially as well as artistically, according to Ernest Sargent Bar- nard, president of the junior ma- jor circuit, President Barnard was here yesterday starting his swing around the Eastern sector of the league he heads, and before watching the Nationals maul the world champion Athletics, 6 to 4, in a stirring battle, he sat in Clark Griffith’s office and talked base ball with the Washington ex- ecutive and Bob Quinn, president of the Red Sox. Discussing the league’s prospects, President Bar- nard waxed enthusiastic and one gathered from his conversation that the season not two weeks under way will be a rip snorter. “I firmly belleve we are in for a re- markable year,” he declared. ' “Not only do heavy attendances at the early games | indicate a renewed interest in base | ball that should enable all clubs to do well financially, but the race for the championship should be hotter for all aong the line the clubs secem to have strengthenen. “I know of the Eastern clubs thus far only through reports, but I have seen all the Western clubs in action and am prepared to state they are ready to make fine runs. Detroit and Cleve- land especially look formidable, while St. Louis has a well gearedl organiza- tion, Chicago, under its new manager, Donie Bush, dppears to have taken & new hold on life and rebuilt as the club is it should surprise base ball followers who for some years have re- fiuded the White Sox as possessing ttle kick. “There's an astounding increase in interest among Chicago fandom, too. Now the fans are flocking to Comiske: Field and the White Sox are the tall of all Chicago. Tigers and Indians are drawing well and as soon as the weather becomes more seasonable in St. Louis there. It has been cold in St. Louis much as it is here, and you know the nfople there are no more accustomed cold Springs than those here. “Your Washington club seems to have much more power. I am glad Walter Johnson has whipped into shape such a good club. He deserves everythi he can get in base ball. pitcher in his day, alwa; gentleman, Walter has help the game. “Yes, Washington as well as Western clubs appears to have gained a great deal of strength” Barnard re- marked. “Well, that's fine. The more good clubs in the league the merrier the race. And that's what the fans want.” RRANGEMENTS for the shipment of Gordon Phelps, catcher, and Buck Freeman, outfielder, under option to the Hagerstown club of the Blue Ridge League were likely to be completed by President Griffith today. For some time Grifith has been negotiating with the Hagerstown owners for berths for Phelps and Freeman. It is believed a season with the club will prove of much benefit to both players. Phelps is a promising catcher and seems likely to develop into a strong hitter. He takes a strong swing at the ball and is sizable enough to drive it far when he connects. Freeman had a brief trial with Chattanooga, but Class A was a bit too fast for him. He is a good prospect, however, and a year or two in a lower class minor circuit should fit him for a much better base bali job.

Here's what ‘the department press bureau says: “Assistant Secretary of War P.

In twelfth inning, when he slid into third base, Sam jammed a leg against the knees of Otis Miller, Red Sox hot corner guardian. He was up in a jiffy, and when Buddy Myer singled, crossed with the game’s decisive tally. Nothing was thought of the bruising at the time, but the next day Sam’s leg was quite sore and still pained him yesterday. How- ever, he was likely to get back into the line-up today. Should he not, George Loepp, who filled in at right fleld yes- terday, was to be there again. | Goosz GOSLIN hit his first home | run of the season and the Na-| tionals went into first place in the | American League.

The Woodmont event is to be played May 6, 7, 8 and 9, and entries close at 6 p.m. Sunday, May 4. ‘The Chevy Chase tournament will be held as a strictly personal invitation tourney this year. In past years Chevy Chase has held down the size of the entry by limiting entries from outside the club to men with a specified handi- cap. This kept a great many high handicap players out of the tourney. This year a special tournament com- mittee has been appointed to arrange the details of the event, and entries are restricted to members of the Chevy Chase Club and to members of other clubs, to whom invitations are sent by the committee. Members of/Chevy Chase have been asked to submit to the tournament com- mittee the names of persons to whom they wish invitations sent and the name and location of the club with which the proposed entrant is affiliated. The committee reserves the right in all cases to determine the eligibility of all en- trants to whom invitations will be sent. Entries will close Sunday, May 11, and requests for invitations should be in the hands of the committee not later than Monday, May 5. Club privileges will be extended to ail entrants in the event from Monday, May 12, to Friday, May 16, inclusive. The golf committee of the club is compoeed of Robert Stead, T chairman; C.

For them and for those who wish to prac- tice shots over the commodious prac- tice fleld of the club have been built two sheds in which both instructors and those who practice ma; tected from the west wind by shelters as they drive balls down the practice ground toward the twelfth green. In addition a large practice tee is being built between the twelfth and thirteenth fairways. ‘The executive committee of the Inter- departmental Golf League will decide within a week where the annual tourna- ment of the league is to be played early in June.

WINNING DESPITE MANY DRAWBACK Suhr, on First, and Pair of Rookie Twirlers Come Through for Club. —ee BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer. T the start of the base ball rea- son Pittsburgh's prospects were considered doubtful. The Pi- rates had to start without the services of Lloyd Waner and Pie Tray- nor, their leading sluggers last year, and with a rookie, Gus Suhr, on first base. And they had traded Burleigh Grimes, their most effective pitcher, to Boston. But the Pirates have removed a large part of that uncertainty in seven games. With a group of doubtful players com- ing through in remarkable style, they have won six games and lcst but one and stand second only to the unbeaten New York Giants in the National League standing. Suhr, the rookie; the elder Waner, Adam Comorosky and Rollle Hemsley all are hitting at a_.400 clip and stand among the league leaders, while Remy Kremer, Larry French and Ervin Brame have been doing a great job of carrying the pitching burden. Yesterday they had to get along without George Gran- tham as well as the other missing mem- bers in their delayed home opener, but kept right on clouting to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6 to 1. The Giants again were frozen out yesterday, this time at Philadelphia, and the Chicago Cubs, the nearest active threat to Pirate supremacy, had to go 12 innings to beat the Cincinnati Reds, 6 to 5. Pat Malone's pitching and Hack Wilson's hitting were the features of this clash. In the third National League game, which opened the season at Boston, the Brooklyn Robins displayed some of their heavy hitting behind the three-hit pitching of Dazzy Vance and defeated the Braves, 5 to 1. Babe Ruth's first home run of the year and two extra-inning games were the leading features of the American lclgje program. The Babe connected for his first four-bagger in the seventh inning of the Yankees' clash with the Boston Red Sox to give them a tie. They finally won out, 3 to 2, in the tenth inning, after Henry Johnson and Milton Gaston of Boston had staged a great mound duel. The Cleveland Indians had to go the same distance to beat their former team- mate, George Uhle, pitching for Detroit, by a 5-to-4 count. Willis Hudling like- wise pitched well, but careless fielding by the Indians gave Detroit an early lead, and a three-run rally in the sixth barely put them into the running. Walter Stewart, St. Louis southpaw, held the Chicago White Sox in almost complete subjection while the Browns took a 4-to-2 decision, Dave Harris, a | rookie from the Pacific Coast League, who appeared as pinch hitter, produced both the Chicago runs with a h‘t‘)mer. |0LD DOMINI SPORTS.

PERCH ARE CAUGHT NEAR CHAIN BRIDGE Joe Fletcher, well known to the many local anglers, reports that yesterday he landed 150 large white perch fishing in Big Eddy, Little Eddy and the Par- lor, located just this side of the Chain Bridge. He also reports that this morn- ing Freddy Mills landed 50 perch. Fletcher says that all the fish have deposited their spawn, at least all those he caught. This means that the ma- Jority of the perch have been in our waters for some time. Anyhow, to- morrow will be a big day up the river and many of these gamey little fish are sure to be hooked. ‘The water is in splendid shape for angling. Those who do not desire to fish in the swift waters of the river around Chain Bridge can try their luck off Hains Point, another good place to catch both perch and rockfish.

DEMPSEY TO GET TEST AT THE MAYO CLINIC CHICAGO, April 26 (#).—Jack Demp- sey plans to go to Mayo Bros.’ Clinic at Rochester, Minn., early next week for the physical check-u‘ post cause of lack of time last Winter.

TARTING next Friday this col- umn will print each week a table ! glving high and low tides at the | following places: ‘Washington, Annapolis, Chesapeake Beach, Solomons Island, Benedict, Point Lookout and Rock Point. These tables will be given | each week during the Summer months and were prepared for this column by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The tides are given for the principal fish- ing places, and all intermediate places the angler may approximate the tide. The last session of the General As- sembly of Virginia made a change in the fishing laws that requires an angler to have a license to fish in any fresh , both in tidewater and above tidewater. Heretofare a license was required to fish above point where the tide ebbs and flows. Now all anglers fishing anywhere in 'the State in fresh water must have licenses. ‘The cost is $2.50. WING to cold weather the second de luxe fishing trip to Wacha- preague, Va., has been postponed one week and is now definitely set for Sunday, May 11. This trip will be held under the auspices of the Atlas S| Co. and Ollie Atlas will be in personal charge of the outing. Last year, fayored with ‘good weather, the 29 anglers who made up the party had the time of their lives, catching 1,500 trout for a net weight of over two tons. The cost of this outing is $30, which includes everything. AST Wednesday Commissioner Henry O'Malley of the United States Bureau of Fisheries and Dr. M. D'Arcy Magee left for the annual convention of the Izaak Walton League of America, at Chicago. Both these men are going as delegates from the Washington, D. C. chapter. The delegates have been instructed to present to the con- vention several matters of great im- portance, one of which is a resolution adopted at its April meeting calling upon the league to adopt a national policy with respect to bass conservation and protection. The resolution says: “That the executive board of the league initiate at once Federal legislation for the creation of a new division in the Federal Bureau of Fisheries, which will function specifically for the conserva- tion and protection of the game fish of America.” Another matter to be taken up by the convention will be a model form of law prohibiting the sale of bass, the possession of bass for the purdose of sale and the taking of bass for any commercial purposes. 'WEPSON EARLE, Maryland conserv- ation commissioner, speaking at a luncheon last week before the newl. organized Sportsmen’s Club of Balti more, decried the returning of under- sized trout after they are hooked. He said: “Within a few days after the opening of the trout season on April 1 we re- ceived numerous reports of many fish seen dead in the streams. These were caught by fishermen and returned be- cause of their size and died as a result of being hooked.” Earle said there was a growing custom of anglers returning to the waters small trout which are caught in the hope of hooking larger fish. “The sporting thing for the angler to do is to keep all fish caught if they are of legal size and thereby prevent the waste which occurs when a fish is hooked and thrown back to die. The department will trust to sportsmanship on the part of the angler at first, but if this does not succeed we will have to take other measures. When a fish reaches seven inches in length it rep- resents considerable expense to the department.” Because of this complaint, the com- missioner stated, the department will place only legal-size fish in the streams, or in its distribution calculate the growth of the trout from the time of planting until the opening of the sea- son. He said that a six-inch trout Yll ted in the Fall will grow to over legal size before the opening of the sea- son the following April. CCORDING to Capt. Mortimer Bow- by Chester L. Brewer, director of ath- today 1or & stay of one day on his WY ' ek . 2 1 en of Solomons Island, hardheads in great numbers have made their ap- pearance in the Bay of Solomons.
