He said that the contract calls for comple- tion of stands on the south side of the Gonzaga field, awarded to the Wayne Iron Works of Wayne, Pa., just off Benning road, a short distance from the Potomac Elec- tric Power Co. plant, by July 15 next. Later it is planned to add other units until finally a modern horseshoe stadium is available.

Tech downed Central yesterday, 10 to 7. Though the thrice-champlon Eastern team loses some strong players, it will not be quite so hard hit by graduation as Western. At least Eastern figures to have decidedly more seasoned talent back for another campaign. McCullough, first baseman; Turner left fielder; Hayden, right fielder; Mil- lar, right fielder, and Smith, a reserve, are Eastern tossers to be lost. Passing of this group also will be felt in various other sports. Guyon Has Good Leftovers. Coach Chief Guyon is slated to have a fine array at hand again next Spring in Kessler, McAvoy, Taylor, Noonan and Holland, inflelders; Snyder, catcher: Lanahan and Phillips, pitchers, and Panetta and Calevas, outflelders. ‘Western is scheduled to lose by grad- Freeman, shortstop, and Fletcher and Albert, outflelders. In addition, Payne, crack gltchfl" who fell by the wayside -schol ‘Western. to its only. win of the series, the 8-4 victory over Tech in the opener of the set, has left school. It is under- stood he will ré-enter Staunton Mili- tary Academy, where he was & student before coming to Western. It is not certain whether Jimmy Thompson, out- fielder, will be graduated next February or the follpwi June. Loss of Owens, Freeman and Thompson will be felt Lea ‘Western tossers scheduléd to return are Oliver, second baseman; Clarke, third sacker; Taylor, outfielder; Poore and Buscher, pitchers, and Yowell and Pimper, catchers. 1t was a free-hitting game, that in which Tech downed Central yesterday.

Boats from other clubs mooring in Mattawoman at this time are cordially invited to participate in the races and other sports. It is sald that noteworthy prizes will fall to the victors.

If windy come into the wind when ready to drop the hook, ease it overboard and lower to the bottom and when it touches go astern slowly, paying out cable as the ship backs, until the desired amount is out. For ordjnary circumstances three times the ¢apth of water is correct for scope, viz.: #f the water is six feet deep pay out 18 feet of cable. An anchor placed in this manner will rarely drag and the probability of foul- ing is reduced to a minimum. Besides, #ts a salty, seamaniike way to do it. HYATTSVILLE TUNES FOR STATE SERIES HYATTSVILLE, Md, May 28— Hyattsville High School's, base ball team. Prince Georges County champion, will meet Towson High, Baltimore County standard bearer, in a first-round game of the State title series Monday at 2 o'clock in Carroll Park, Baltimore, ac- cording to the pairings announced yes- ay. Hyattsville also entered the State series last Spring as the county repre- sentativer but was elimingted in the first round by Tracys Landing High of Anne Arundel County. ‘With the idea of keeping the Hyatts- ville team in the best ible shape for ‘Towson match 'h Leland G. Worth! n has announced cancella- tion of the team’s two remaining games outside of championship play. Gon- zaga was to be met today in Wash- ington and Charlotte Hall was to be engaged tomorrow at Charlotte Hall. Boasting what is doubtless the best diamond record in the annals of the school, having won 13 of 16 games, the Hyattsville team entertains hopes of going far in the State series, though in Towson the Prince Georglans are apt to encounter stern opposition. It was the Towson soccer team that last Fall ellr‘l;l.n!ud Hyattsville in the State title series. BIG TEN NINES PLAY. CHICAGO, May 28 (#).—Two Big Ten base ball games were scheduled for today, neither, however, having bearing on the championship situation. Chicago was at Ohio State and North- ‘western was host to Indiana. - | complimentary terms of the perform- NG _STAR, WASHINGTON, BOTH DETERMINED T0 WIN SATURDAY Contest Sure to Be Classic of Campaign and Will Be No “Pink Tea.” BY H. C. BYRD. OR the second time in as many years, the Navy and Maryland battle Saturday at Annapolis for the national lacrosse championship. Last year the Middies and the Old Liners met in the final and deciding game, which the former won by 4 to 3. This Spring the same con- ditions exist, and to whichever twelve is crowned with victory in this particular contest will go the highest honors the game affords. Navy has not yet been defeated. It has a straight string of victories over the college and university teams it has faced and is banking high on finishing the game with Maryland with the long end of the score. At the “N” dinner Monday night considerable emphasis was Iald on the performances of the lacrosse squad and the desire to make the - season really brilliant by beating Maryland for nation honors. Incidentally, Navy's desire for the la- crosse title was productive of a rather amusing incident at the “N” dinner. Admiral Robison, superintendent of the Naval Academy, was speaking in highly ances of the lacrosse team to the team's captain, “Red” Allen, who was standing before him to receive the letter and medal awards for last year's champion- And then Admiral Robison went a expected of the lacrosse team this week. While Admiral Robison was talk. ing, Allen kept glancing a little to A miral Robison’s left, where a represent ative of the University of Maryland was sitting. Finally Admiral Robison fol- lowed the glance, then turned and laughingly addressed the representative, “Of course, what I say is with all due deference to the fine team that represents your institution. | but we still want that championship.” Grueling Game Is Certain, There was no reply to Admiral Robi- | son, except a smile, but if any reply had been made it would have indicated that Maryland wants to beat Navy just about as Navy wants to beat Maryland. Navy has lost one game this season, that to the Oxford-Cambridge twelve in the opening of thg season. Maryland also has lost one, that te St. John's, which later was whipped | by Hopkins, which in turn was smoth- ered by Maryland. Navy on its home fleld probably has some little advan- tage, but not much. ‘There is not the least doubt that the two greatest lacrosse teams in the United States will be. struggling for highest honors in that game. No twelve ever gave & finer exhibition of play than Maryland against Hopkins last week, and its one question is whether or not it can maintain that standard. Navy robably will o “‘:::lh“ :llfleregt ype of game from put up by Hopkins, and there is not much doubt Maryland that the contest will be a rough, hard, gueling test, with both teams giving .7 their best and neither asking anything of the other except a square deal. Last year the greatest crowd that ever watched a lacrosse game anywhere was present. Interest this Spring is even more pronounced, and it is almost a certainty that the capacity of the Navy fleld will be taxed. Georgetown again had its base ball team idle. Rain for the second day in Boston prevented its contests, the double bill that had been booked with Boston College and Harvard having been knocked out. ‘The team moves down to New Haven today for a contest with Yale and tomorrow goes over to New York to face New York University for the second time this season. « Maryland’s nine is at Philadelphia today for its final game of the season. Pennsylvania is to be the opposing club and the Old Liners are hopeful of winding up thelr schedule with a victory. Coach Shipley did not say who would do the hurling for him, but it is probable that either Milburn or Bat- son will be on the slab. SCHOOLBOY PROGRAM FOR CURRENT WEEK ‘TODAY.

CALIFORNIA TEAM PICKED TO WIN MEET NEW- YORK, May 28—The speed and strength of the Pacific Coast is being transported over the rails today as three Far West universities—South- ern California, Stanford and Califor- nia—travel along on their anual quest for the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. track and fleld championship, which will be held for the fifty-fourth time at the Hn;vll’d Stadium on Friday and Sat- urday. Eight times in the last 10 years the varsity crown has returned to the Pa- cific seaboard, and unless all signs and portents fail, back it will go to the coast again this year. This is admitted by Lawson Robertson, coach of Penn, one of the leading Eastern contenders, inas- much as Southern California heads for Cambridge with one of the most power- ful and best balanced teams that the West has ever turned out. Ample testimony of this is the trouncing that the Trojans handed Stanford in their dual meet out on the Coast, Southern California winning, 841-12 to 4611-12. And no one was readier to recognize the strength of Coach Dean Cromwell's proteges than Dink ‘Templeton, Stanford mentor.
