SPORTS. HALF DOZEN TILTS ON FOR TERRAPINS Hoyas Out to Break Losing| Streak on Diamond—G. W. Plays Golf, Tennis. BY H. C. BYRD. NIVERSITY OF MARYLAND teams will be busier this week than all other local colleges combined. Out of 10 contests scheduled, the Old Liners are to take part in 6. | Maryland begins its acn\'mes; today at Lexington, Va. where| the base ball squad meets Vir- ginia Military Institute. Tomor- row the nine remains at Lexing- ton to take issue with Washing- ton and Lee. It comes back late tomorrow night and does not lay again until Saturday, when ickinson College is to be its op- ponent at College Park. Two more contests for the Mary- landers will take place at Atlanta and Athens, where the lacrosse twelve goes on the longest trip the university has ever taken in that sport. It meets Georgia Tech at Atlanta Friday and Georgia at Athens on Saturday. The team is scheduled to leave Athens Saturday night and arrive here about noon Sunday. The other competition scheduled for 8 Maryland team is a track meet with | Virginia Military Institute at College Park Georgetown’s base out for another clash cn Tuesday with Mount St. Mary's. The Saints usually have a good nine and Georgetown may bave its hands full. On Wednesday two George Washing- ton teams play tennis and golf, the tennis squad being scheduled at Johns | Hopkins in_Baltimore and the golf at | home with William and Mary. George- town's tennis team has a match Friday, with Washington and Lee as its op- ponent. EORGETOWN and Maryland have vet to win a ball game, aithough both hope to break into that column before this week ends. The former lost to Lafayette Friday in the only game it has played, while the lat- ter has been defeated by North Caro- lina, Duke and Virginia. Maryland had | hoped to even up with North Carolina Saturday, but a downpour prevented the opportunity. In its game with La- fayette Georgetown was near a victory, but could not quite reach its goal. La- fayette went through until the last half of the ninth with the count 5 to 1 in its favor, but the Blue and Gray started to score in the final chapter and got three runs across to make the score 5 to 4, but, with two down, a pinch hitter struck out with the tying Tun on the base line, 'HILE Maryland's ball game with North Carolina Saturday was “rained out,” as they say farther down South, its lacrésse and track teams went through their engagements despite the rain and mud. The defeat | of Washington College in lacrosse was expected, but the victory over Washing- ton and Lee in track was hardly looked for by as wide a margin as it was won. In fact, the Old Liners did not regard themselves as having any meére than an even chance. That they won with com- parative ease is indication that lhelr" track team is on the upgrade and will | be stronger than in the last three cr | four years. AVY'S lacrosse team went down in its opening game before Mount ‘Washington, but the way in which it did hardly reflects anything other than Navy strength. The Mount Wash- ington team a week ago beat Princeton by an overwhelming score, something like 15 to 1, yet barely beat Navy, 5 to 4.

IMAPLE LEAS RULE IN'HOGKEY WORLD Toronto Veterans Outclassed by Youngsters in Stanley Cup Series. i By the Associated Press ORONTO, April 11.—The Toronto Maple Leafs, who are, taken as a whole, the youngest team in the National Hockey League, are the new champions of the hockey world and they won the Stanley Cup, ancient emblem of the title, in a way which left no doubt as to their cham- pionship ranking. | Only seven Toronto players can be | | Tated as real veterans. But the young- | sters, several of them playing their first | | season in the big league and all of them new to the Stanley Cup battle, came | through with some of the outstanding performances This team, eliminated in the first pre- liminary round a year ago, trounced the New York Rangers, a team of vet- | erans, in three straight games with a | remarkable scoring exhibition. The | scg;es were 6-4, 6-2 and 6-4. i ost of the Rangers had helped \l‘ln‘ | the cup in the 1928 playoffs, but the defense contained three “first year” men in major league hockey and it was here that they developed a weakness. Big Ching Johnson played a great game and Goalie John Roach shone in the | final game Saturday night, but they could not handle the job alone. | The Leafs started the final game with | a dazzling rush when Andy Blair scored two goals before the first period was half over and with 15 minutes of the final frame gone they led, 5-1. Then the Rangers, with the veteran Frank Boucher in the van, staged a comeback, but it was too late. Boucher figured in every Ranger score, making three goals himself. IN CHESS N the tournament for the District championship, Otten and Knapp had an interesting contest. Knapp won the exchange, but Otten had a dangerous advanced pawn, The result was a draw. Walker and Sullivan played 35 moves and adjourned. Walker gave up the exchange to get rid of a well- placed kmght.ng; he aiso gained a pawn. He will have to ‘hard now for a draw.

By the Assoclated Press. - | ELSINGFORS, Pinland, = April | 11.—The Pinnish Athletic League has cleared Paavo | Nurmi of charges of profes- sionalism and formally protested his | | suspension by the International Ama- | | teur Athletic Federation. Through President Kekkonen, the | Finnish organtzation informed the I. A. | A. F. yesterday that the charges against Nurmi were false. The effect, it was generally believed, | would be to force the International Fed- cration to lift the suspension it im- posed on the great Finnish distance runner a week ago. T that time it was made clear the suspension was a temporary one, pending the result of an investiga- tion " by Pinnish authorities. There would be no precedent for the I. A. A. F. to disregard Finland's report and conduct an investigation through its own organization. In his protest President Kekkonen re- ferred to “second-hand tales” and “ab- solutely unfounded reports” regarding special compensation allegedly paid Nurmi for competitive appearances in Eminpc, notably Germany, Poland and Italy. T the same time he admitted that the general situation with regard to amateur athletics had been doubtful for some time and that the exact circumstances of Nurmi's appear- ances were not quite cleat. He added. however, that the individual athlete should not be penalized in view of the general uncertainty surrounding ama- teur athletics. The Finnish League, he sald, would watch carefully arrangements for fu- ture athletic contests and reserve the right to call them off on 48 hours’ no- tice if there is any question of profes- sionalism. Coincidentally with the league's an- nouncement, it became known banns for the marriage of the great and Miss Syvi Laaksonen, daughter of a soft-drink manufacturer in Abo, had been published.

The bad habit of “shanking” the ball—that is, pushing it off to the right—affects iron shots more than it does wood shots. It is a fault into which the most skilled of the ex- perts fall, but, of course, is more common among the inexpert, who “shank” from the tee almost as much as elsewhere. I have heard duffers refer to “shanked” ball as a “sliced bal But there is a big difference. ‘Slicing is caused by bringing the clubhead forward from outside the direction line. In “shanking” the ball is not hit by the center of the clubhead— contact is toward the heel of the club. ‘ There is more than one explana- tion for “shanking” including the theory that the left wrist lecks at SWAY 0 RIGHT- ALL BALANCE. LOST WEIGHT ON RIGHT LEG, BUT BRACED AGAINST LEFT the moment of impact, and the ex- planation that the right arm is not kept close enough to the body at the top of the swing. However, many experts think that fallure to keep the left knee firm and straight as the clubhead comes into the ball is the most ordinary cause. If the right knee is firm and straight at the top of the backswing the forward turn of the body is bound to straighten the left leg on the downswing and keep it in the firm position which is essential. Study the leg action of Bobby Jones, as depicted in the sketch above. “Shanking” the ball is something he practically never does, Unless you understand the pivot you cannot hope to shoot good golf.

This will be a golf ball made | especially for women by one of the large manufacturers . These people, feeling that the pres- ent standard-weight ball is too heavy for women, who are weaker hitters than the men, have put out a-lighter ball of much the same size and weight as last | year’s standard ball, which weighed 1.55 | ounces and was 168 inches in size. This will be the first ball made especial- ly for women's golf. ETTERS have gone out from the Army-Navy Country Club to all| the clubs around Washington stat- | ing the details of the initial invitation | tournament of the club, to be held on May 3-6, inclusive.

The tourney starts with an 18-hole ification round on Tuesday and We ay, May 3 and 4, with the usual four match-play rounds to follow on Thursday and Priday, M: 5 and 6.

The follow- ing day he paired with C. W.
