SPORTS " FORKSIDER SHINES " FOR EACH LEADER (Maryland Battles St. John’s Saturday in Important Lacrosse Game. BY H. C. BYRD. T has often been said that a left-handed pitcher is bad medicine to college ball teams, and records of teams in the South Atlantic section this Spring seem to be bearing that out. At any rate, the three nines that so far have made the best records have left-handers as their main- stays on the slab. Georgetown, Virginia Military Institute and Duke University owe, in great measure, their present diamond prominence to the work of White, Williams and Jenkins. Georgetown, of course, has several other good pitchers, but White appar- ently is the most effective. He has had little difficulty holding in check the bat- ters of teams he has opposed. “Lefty’ Willlams of V. M. I has done practi- cally all the pitching for that school, and the way he has handled opposing batters virtually has put his team at the top of the South Atlantic heap. Jenkins is in pretty much the same position at Duke University. Just why it is that coll nines ap- ?mnuy are weak in batting t left-handers is hard to understand, un- less it be that they seldom face that kind of pitching. Anyway, whatever may be the reason, it seems left- hander with a good glove, & ayer” and a little control can just about stop any college team that he faces. From which one probably should draw the de- duction that it might be a very ghn for any college nine to face a left- and pitcher to get about three m days of batting practice against 1s thrown from that side of the slab. Catholic University -and Maryland play ball games today, the former with the Marines at Quantico and the lat- ter with North Carolina State at Col- lege Park. The Brooklanders undoubt- edly will be against about as strong & team as they have met season. Maryland tied with North Carolina State in 10 innings, 5 to 5, at Raleigh early in April. These teams play & double-header, the first game to be & play-off of the tie and the second the regularly scheduled one. ‘The Maryland-St. John's lacrosse game this week end should be one of the best of the year, if present may be taken at their apparent worth. St. John’s is the only American twelve that outclassed the Oxford-Cambridge stick wielders and undoubtedly has one of the country's strongest outfits, an enviable dpcxsm;un it also held last year. Maryland, by its showing in the game with Army Saturday at College Park,| the seems to be strong enough to take care of itself. The game is to be played Saturday at 4 o'clock as the wind-up of theklnnull Spring fleld day at College Park. Southern Conference institutions in the South Atlantic section, North Caro- lina University, North Carolina State College, Duke University, Washington an ,_Virginia Po'l'{technlc Institute, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia and Maryland, meet at Lynchburg this afternoon to arrange their Winter and Spl‘inielchldulfl for 1931. There are not likely to be many changes in the alignments of this year, with excep- tion that it is improbable so many home-and-home arrangements will be made. ‘The South got one great victory in the Penn relays, at least, when Hamm of Georgia Tech broke the broad jump record by leaping 25 feet 412 inches, nearly a foot farther than the previous meet_record. The nearest thing that the South got to a_ victory outside of this was Catholic University's second place in a mile relay. Georgetown and Maryland failed to come through in the races in which they had quartets entered. A good deal has been said and writ- ten of the limit of human capacity in athletic events, but the more that is written the less it seems is learned. ‘There was a time when it was said that no pole vaulter could reach 13 feet, but that mark was passed, and Saturday out in Drake relays Warne of Northwester:: University barely missed 14 feet 2 inches for & new world record. Warne clearec the bar, but in fall unfortunately let his elbow knock e ar from its supports. Out in Colorado in the relays at the Colorado Agricultural College, Beattie threw the eight-pound shot 68 feet to break a record made by Ralph Rose of Michigan that has stood since 1907. For the time in the history of track athletics several men in the country apperently the hundred are running un au- thentically around 9.6 seconds, and prob- ably before long some phenomenal in- dividual will come along and under favorable conditions with a good start clip off that six-tenths of a second to accomplish what now is hardly helleved to be possible. Jack Edwards, former Tech High runner, is said to have been largely responsible for the fine race won by the Penn freshman team in the Penn relays. The Quakers covered the distance in 3 minutes 19.2 seconds, and a quarter- mile in 48 4-5 seconds, by Edwards was the best contribution to this mark. Sandlot Results French, 23; Seabrook, 2.

UCK GRIER, Northern A. C. B manager, is extremely fortunate in that he has one Joe Tuccl playing with his club this year. Joe is perhaps the best all-around ball player in the city. He demon- strated his versatility yesterday when he pitched the Northerns to & 7-to-¢ victory over the Dixie Pigs. Tuccl was slated to catch for the Red Birds this season, but to him position apparently mean little, It all come about when the Hagers- town team of the Blue Ridge League, ¥ith whom the Northerns were scheduled to meet yestarday, cancelled the game. Grier then arranged to play the Dixie Pigs on the Seat Pleasant diamond. Through the mixup, several members of the Northens were unaware of the change in the schedule, among them the pitchers Bob Polen and Red es. 8o Tucel, instead of donning the mask and mit, took over the mound duties and did a first-class job of it.. He al- lowed the Marylanders only six hits. Joe formerly played the outfleld for 8t. Joseph's and starred as an inflelder with the old Roamer and Sacred Heart teams several years ago. Hard luck is still pursuing Willie Wolfe. Willie is signed with the North- erns, but because of a badly wrenched knee he was forced to remain on the *| withdraw, but added that he wluld sidelines yesterday. The Mohawk A. O, which came through with a surprise 17-to-7 win over Brooke Grubb's Silver Spring Giants yesterday, loom as a formidable contender for the unlimited title. The former Hess .\. C. showed plenty of COUNTY CHURCHMEN PLAN BALL LEAGUE HYATTSVILLE, Md, A 28.—A movement is under way looking to the organization of a Sunday School Base Ball League to include teams from Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, Brentwood, Berwyn and possibly Lanham and Landover. It is hoped by those in back f)f the proposition ‘o form a six-team eague. Henry Hiser, manager of the Hyatts- ville All-Stars, today is figuring how he can strengthen his ball club. The Stars yesterday took a 12-5 licking from the ’;w:];:hmmn Red Sox on the Rlver.dlle leld. Hiser is confident of getting better results if he can get more of the players on his roster to turn out. The team yesterday was a decidedly patched up combination. Steele, who took the box in the fourth for Hyattsville, held the Sox to no runs and just one bingle, but the llwe;.‘hld already put the game e bag. Hyattsville High's undefeated base ball team, which was to meet Devitt this afternoon in Washington, will also play there tomorrow, having an en- gagement with Gonzaga. the Hyattsville M. E. Church South will drill Thursday evening at 5 o'clock on the Riverdal®field. The Methodists, who won the inant in the Tri-City Sunday School League season before last and were barely beaten out for the flag last Summer, figure to have the best team they have ever had this year. Morris Flory, pitcher; Leonard Smith, infielder, and Burdick, first baseman, are among notable new members of the squad. Just about all of last season’s in | champion.

Farrinton had previously beaten Fort Washington and the strong 8t. Mary's Celtics. ‘These Washington Red Sox ruk a real punch. They slammed out 18 hits, most of them good for extra b when they swamped Hiser's All-Stars, Jenkins, Joseph, Curtis and Nynark of the Sox hit the ball for 19 bases be- tween them. When the champion Union Printers take the fleld today against the Navy Yard team, it will mark the thirteenth campaign for Heinie Webb, veteran sandlotter, as & member of the Typos. ‘Webb, however, probably will not take his turn on the mound for & couple of weeks. Like all veterans Heinie needs warm weather to get in top form. His work for the present probably will be confined to an occasional relief shift. Plenty of action is carded for tomor- row. Four week-day league games are scheduled at the Ellipse, Interstate will meet the Government Printing Of- fice in the Government League, Dis- trict of Columbia Repair Shop will tan- gle witfthe Treasury team in the De- partmental League game, Holmes Bake- ry and the Tile Setters’ Union will hook ug in the Industrial League and First Baptist will clash with West ‘Washington Baptist in the Georgetown Church League. All games will be called at the usual time, which is 5:15. A. A. U. NATATORS VIE FOR TITLES TONIGHT Competition in the first annual Dis- trict A. A.

Roesch and Henry D. Nicholsan and Dave Thom- son was canceled because McCarthy did not arrive in the city in time to play— in tact, declared he did not know the match had been arranged by his part- ner for yesterday. Nicholson went around the Washington layout in 73 strokes in a game with Thompson, J. Logan Hopkins and J. G. C. Corcoran and installed himself as one of the favorites to win the tourney. McCarthy, who is a student at Georgetown University, said it is doubt- ful if he will be able to ylny in the tourney, inasmuch as one of his classes demands extra study. He said he might play in the medal round, and then rather not play at all. The George- town golf team, on which McCarthy plays No, 1, is scheduled for two matches n\'el;‘ the coming week end around New York. NY doubt that might have been entertained regarding Roland Mac- | Kenzie’s golf condition on the ave of his sailing for England as a member of the Walker Cup team has been dis- sipated by the golf he showed over two local courses during the week end, which he spent here. At Columbia Saturday he scored a 70, hurrying down from Wilmington in time to play a late round. At the same time his father, Albert R. MacKenzie, scored a 73. Roland went over to Burning Tree yesterday and a-ompefl around that arduous layout iff 72 strokes.

New York to see him off on Wednesday. looms today as another threat to win the Washington tourney. With the mturn of his putting stroke yester- day, Lynes found the Washington course to his liking and scored a 73 for the round. Had he been Jl“tfinl as well as J. M.

By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, April 28.—Louis B. Dailey, president of the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion, is going abroad with the United States Wightman Cup team this year to direct the team and at the same time gather first-hand im- pressions as to the tennis problems of & score of European nations. One subject into which he intends to inquire, says an official annonucement by the U. B. L. T. A, will be the action o{ the International Lawn Tennis Fed- eration in rejecting at its annual meet- ing in Paris on March 21, the proposed amendment, which would have per- mitted the holding of an open cham- plonship in this country. “From reports received from the U. 8. L. T. A. representatives at this meeting,” the official announcement said, “it would appear that the delegates to the International Federation Conference did not visualize the tennis conditions in the United States, which led to the roposal of an open championship here. g‘ha amendment evidently was judged, and rejected, from a standpoint of con- ditions in Europe, and it is the hope of President Dailey that after inter- views and exchange of ideas with the ma; e to develop & . derzundmg and t of this and other important tennis matters.” Dalley will leave for Europe on the his from Boston on May 16, along with members of the Wightman Cup team.

The idea of the overlapping grip, the reason why it is used so widely in place of the older “V” grip still employed by such a great player as “Jimmy” Johnston, U. S. Amateur ehl.m?zm, is to make the right arm behave. Vardon has been cited in recent articles to prove that most faults of the swing come at the half-way-down mark, where we ‘we have to increase the effort and we do so by hitting or punch- ing through with the right arm. A fozzle results. ‘The right arm is_usually the stronger of the two. Jones keeps it out on the backswing by reason of his grip—the overlap. The overlap is with 'lih;y uttlle &nl!r o{ht‘he {l: gripping_anything wi rs of the right hand. Then take little finger off, as in the sketch, and grip again. Most of your power is gone. Paul Scott will tell you you over- lap in this way to purposely take part of the strength away from the right hand. Futting is half the game. Good putters score low. Sol Metzger has prepared an illustrated leaflet on “The Art of Putting” which he will gladly send any reader free of charge.

You'll hear more of this young Maine youth, who turned in such a remarkable record in his major league debut. He hasn’t made many headlines, but he'll be in there al- most every day this season working his head off for his team, his boss and for the fans of the Rhineland. ‘The 1ad collected splinters for dear old Jack Hendricks during 1927 and 1928, playing in only 71 games during the two seasons. He batted .190 one year, .132 the other, and was so ted that he demanded either more work of his boss or to be shipped to another club. He got work and the result is history. He batted .354, hit 16 doubles, 1 home run, stole 8 and led near- est batter on his own team by over 40_points.

Art Ludlow, Bill Langford and Leon Riley led the Celtics with the mace, Ludlow and Langford obtaining three hits each, while Riley came through with & home run and a triple. Lud- low and Riley accounted for all of the Celtics’ runs, the former driving in two and scoring two on his single, double and triple, while Ruer drove in two and scored twice himself, stealing homeé after his triple for one of his markers. Pete Ball and Ralph Hamilton, Celtic twirlers, held the invaders to 9 hits and fanned 10 batters. Ball struck out 6 and Hamilton 4. Pope, the Takoma Tiger pitcher, held the Celtics well in hand with the exception of the third and seventh frames, in each of which he was touched for three runs. FPope struck out 9 batters. Pushing eight runs across in the last two frames, the Army Headquarters nine of Washington overcame the Del Ray A. C, 8 to 6, on Edward Duncan fleld. Cardwell, Del Ray mound artist, held the Soldiers in check and appar- ently had the triumph clinched, when the aliens staged their uprising. Malone’s home run was the offensive feature for the winners, while Gus Kremer, Del Ray first sacker, came through with three hits to top the locals at bat. His teammate, Dick Perry, obtained two safeties. Bauserman Motor Co. of Arlington County battled the Georgetown A. C. of Washington for 10 innings to a 6-all deadlock on the former's diamond be- fore a crowd of 2,000. Benny Wormsley of Bauserman and Dick Hughes of Georgetown nine put on one of the prettiest mound dusls ever seen hereabouts. The major ggr- tion of the run scoring resuited from misplays. ‘Tentative arrangements for a play- off were made. In its opening game the Yankee A. C. defeated the Pierce A. C. of Hyatts- ville, Md,, 6 to 5, én Haydon field. Capt. “Bottles” West drove in three of the winners’ runs and shared honors with Pitcher Ashby Snellings, who twirled impressively. Joe Padgett, former St. Mary's Celtics and Columbla Engine Company ball star, has been named coach of Bill Hammond's Columbia A. C. nine. Ballston A. C. defeated the District Grocery Stores’ nine, 5 to 2, at Ballston, with ifs two hurlers, McGolerick and Shaw, letting the Storemen down with six scattered hits.
