Burden on Diamond : Bill Agee Likely to Spurn Olympics HOYA NN ALONE TOPLAY N NORTH Leading Schools for First| Time in 30 Years Fail | to Show in South. BY H. C. BYRD. ORTHERN college base ball | teams this Spring have | given this particular sec- tion of the country a wide berth, but this week a local nine is to get an opportunity to show how some of the games might have turned out had the usual trips been made. Georgetown it is that goes North to test the mettle of the best that New Eng- land has to offer, meeting, as it does, on consecutive days, Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday, Har- | vard, Boston College and Holy Cross. The Blue and Gray squad is to leave here Wednesdey evening, and its trip should stand out as the high light of the week's intercollegiate activities. No other northern trip any local team has taken has had the importance of Georgetown's journey. Almost every year prior to this, for 30 years or more, northern college nines, usually includ- | ing Princeton, Penn, Harvard, Cornell, | Yale and Dartmouth, have come south and most of them have met either | Georgetown, Catholic University or Maryland. This Spring things changed and not one of these institutions sent | its diamonders south, consequently there | has been no way of getting a compari- son between the northern and southern nines. And, incidentally, the cancella- tion of trips by so many colleges cut | down by a third the number of games | usually played by local teams. The re- sult is that virtually the only compari- | son that will exist at the end of the| season, when it comes time to rate col- | Jege ball teams, may be the scores of the games Georgetown is to play this o= emnd. should ts the On 's ulders resf e mnmuny for upholding the stand- | of southern college base ball. It | has always, In that regard, played its | part well, and the best wishes of all college men in the section should speed it on its journey Wednesday. | TENNIS match today between | George Washington and St. John's at Annapolis, and another tomor- row between Maryland and Hopkins at Baltimore are the only intercollegiate contests listed this week until Catholic University goes to Villanova on Wednes- day for a dual track and flield meet. ‘The Brooklanders should be up against er opposition at Villa- were Saturday when they took the measure of St. Joseph's of Philadelphia. The Brooklander: hardly will get back from Philadelphia before they begin to get ready to take the fild in a dual meet with Wake Forest, which comes here Saturday. | "ARYLAND gets out on the diamond | this week for two ball games on consecutive days, with e both at home. University of Richmond is to be its opponent Thursday and Vir- ginia Military Institute Friday. Both schools rank among the best college nines in the section, and both apparent- Jy are ¢ good deal stronger than usual. team meets Navy. The Old Liners certainly have at least an’even chance against Penn State, but nothing short of a miracle would enable them to beat Navy | bail. on the track. Records made by the Mid- shipmen so far surpass by a good deal anything Maryland has done. Not only does the Georgetown base ball team play in the North this week end, but golf team also is to face two New England teams. It meets Holy Cross at Boston Priday and Harvard and Dartmouth in a double bill Satur- day at Boston. { ALLAUDET'S track team gets an- | other test next Saturday, as it| entertains Lynchburg College. The | Kendall Greeners, while they lost to | La Balle last week, did themselves 1o | discredit. It would not be a surprise to | see them beat Lynchburg. Walnoha of | Gallaudet won three events against La Salle, throwing the javelin 165.95 Teet, the discus 112.75 feet and putting the ‘shot 42.8 feet. It was by far the | best performance of any individual in | the meet, with the exception of Bythiner, who won the 100, 220 and | 440 for La Salle. Incidentally, Bythiner did the century in 10 flat and the fur- long in 22 flat, which would be good | times in any meet. | ARYLAND'S lacrosse team left no‘ doubt of its superiority over St. John's in the which was featured as a part of Mary. land’s annual Spring field day. It.was the first time in three years that the O'd Liners have defeated the Annapolis | school, ~hich, giving all its attention to Iacrosse »s its only Spring sport, has | had things all its own way, except for | the defeat it sustained last year at the | hands of Johns Hopkins. The game was | about as fine an exhibition of the old | Indian pastime as could be found any- | where. The result left Maryland with | six straight victories to its credit for the season and St. John's with only that defeat. Incidentally. it begins to appear that the Hopkins-Maryland game in Balti- more a week from the coming Sat- | urday, May 21, may draw a crowd simi- | lar tn proportions to crowds that watch foot ball contests. 1f Hopkins and | Maryland get by their games this week, they will meet as undefeated teams. About the same situation should result | when Haryland goes to Annapolis to play Navy two weeks from Saturday. Navy | and Maryland have had tremendous | crowds at thelr lacrosse games the last | three or four years, and there is not likely to be any change this time. 'AYBRIGHT, Naval lgrlnur‘ continues to show that | the form he developed last year as & plebe was not a flash. Several | Hiimes This Spring he has run the cen- tury under 10 seconds, and again Sat- urday he trimmed that flat mark by one-tenth of a second. Waybright is a halfback on the foot ball squad, and last year Coach Rip Miller predicted he | would eventually be one of the greatest | backs Nawvy . ever had. Incxdenully.‘ Hardman of Navy furned in a 1:55 and a fraction for the half mile, which is mighty good running, if one should ask. | Academy Luray High, Champ of Northern Virginia, Plays Eastern. Luray, Va., High School’s crack base ball team, which boasts the Northern Virginia title and other Mhonors, was to invade Washington this afternoon to meet the strong Eastern High nine in the Eastern Stadium at 3:30 o'clock. Luray downed Massanutten Military Academy, 8 to 5 Saturday, for its fourth straight win of the week. BLISS RACKETERS LEAD.

ONl of the most important and interesting duties when setting up a camp is the construction of the “camp stove.” Here's an in- teresting layout. Lay two logs, about 5 feet long and 14 inches in diameter, parallel to each other and about 15 inches apart. Flatten off the tops of these big logs as shown in Fig. 1. Cut two_sturdy crotched uprights (Pig. 2). Force these solidly into the ground at each end of the big logs. lay a strong pole across the two crotches. Cut several pothooks (Fig. 3) Hook these over the cross pole at | L Nahe one end and hold pots and kettles with the other. Fig. 4 shows rods or metal strips or green wood laid across the big logs to support frying pans, etc. Move them to any de- sired position. ‘When selecting crotched uprights, 1t possible have several stubs pro- jecting, as In Fig. 5. These make handy hooks to hang pots and pans on also, Ordinarily the whole job shouldn’t take more than 20 min utes. This is a camp stove “de luxe” yet practical. In the course of this series I will show you many other types more simple in design. What are your fishing or camping problems?

MERICA probably will be | A without its foremost mara- thon runner in the Olym- | pics. Bill Agee of Baltimore, the na- | tional champion, happy over a brilliant vietory yesterday in the | Washington Knights of Columbus | 15-mile run, looks to an uncer- tain future. With him it’s a case of business before athletic glory. “I doubt that I can go to Los An- geles even if I qualify,” said Agee, who has been looked upon as the main re- liance of the United States in what | promises to be the greatest field-of dis- | tance runners that ever went to post. ONMI!IC Agee will compete in the Olympic marathon tryout on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the winner to be eligible for the United States team. He will be a prime fa- vorite. In winning the national title last year over an unusually stiff course the Baltimorean came within two-fifths of a second of equaling the best time ever made in an Olympic marathon, His time for yesterday's race, 1:24:21%, was a reqord for this part of the coun- try and only a minute slower than the American mark, held by Whitey Mi- chaelson. Agee is of & large newspaper job that constant attention and one diffi a substitute. To in the Olym- pics he would need about six weeks of leave . “No,” he said, dublously, “I'm quite sure I can't afford it.” BUT the popular champion—Bill got an ovation that shook the walls of the Knights of Columbus Hall when prizes were ted presented yesterday— | brightened when the United States championship was mentioned. This will be contested here in A under the auspices of The Star with the sanction of the A. A. U. In defense of his title Agee likely will be called upon to op- | pose the stars of other nations. The A. A. U. has let down the barriers for this race to all marathoners in the Olympics, and it will be run soon after the world | meet. Agee toiled from midnight until 7 o'clock on his newspaper route before driving to Washington , but a race than usual. He had to win. Until a hundred yards from the fini he was matched stride for stride by Paul Mundy of the Nativity Catholic A C. of Philadelphia, & skinny youngster with the heart n‘ph- Hon, WHZN the powerful Agee began his victory sprint a city block from the tape Mundy tried bravely to meet the challenge, but his rival drew away with m desperate stride and crossed the line about 15 yards in it. “I thought I could wear him out with a sUff pace in the early "™ sald Agee, “but he was a lot tougher than I reckoned. - Mundy is only 21. He'll great runner.” For five miles it was a three-man race among Paul and Joe Mundy, brothers, 23&?‘“' Then Joe pulled up with a He was followed soon after by Wash- ington’s X hope, Bill Greiner, who strained a tendon but ltmped on for a mile before the agony conquered. Greiner was well up in the fleld and strong when an ankle gave way. S a result of his showing yesterday, Arthur Dewhurst of the Y. M. C. A. is regarded as a pr Washington representative in distance events. Dewhurst got fourth place and was the first D. C. man across the line. It was his second race since coming here from New England a few months ago. He won the two-mile event in the Catholic University meet. Sixty-nine started and 55 finished the race, which in the main was run over the Mount Vernon Boulevard, pro- nounced a well-nigh perfect course. ‘The runners were well pleased with all arrangements and were particularly | praiseful of Charles Reynolds, the Casey athletic director, who put over the event | “on & shoestring.” Leading member: of the A. A. U. handled the officiating, which was faultless. Dorsey Griffith| was the referee, Yank Robbins, cler] of the course; Earl Weekes, chief scorer, and Jimmy Sullivan, head judge. Tommy Mills' firing of the starting gun was downright classical. The course was measured by the A A A and two fleld cars of the enterprising organization and a couple of Red Cross ambulances patrolled One of the busiest officials, for a time, was Harry Fiddesop, title uncertain,| famed far and wide as a trainer. Big Harry stood at the finish and caught exhausted runners headed for the pave- ment. He toted half a dozen or more into the Knights of Columbus Hall.

His competitor in this game was F. B: Walker, who won the District championship in 1927 and retained the title.in two subsequent tourneys, held in 1930 and 1931. In the game in question Walker de- fended with a center counter gambit and at the end of 16 moves had a de- cided advantage in position and what appeared to be an unanswerable attack. He was too anxious for a “killing,” how- ever, and without taking the time nec- essary to bring a rook into play, pressed | on with the attack, which gave Sournin an opportunity to free his position at | the cost of the exchange. Subsequently, Walker made an oversight which cost him the exchange, leaving Sournin a pawn ahead. Sournin won in 52 moves. He finished one-half game ahead of Ot~ ten, second man in the race.
