SP FACING TENPLE . ON HILLTOP FIELD C. U. Happy Over McGuigan Track Victory—Widmyer BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN has the Tem- Promising Sprinter. ple University nine on the Hilltop today to wind up the shortest base ball schedule it has ever played, at least, in recent times. Incident- ally, the game is the last athletic contest of any kind for the Blue and Gray for the current year, except whatever competition it sends men for to the intercollegi- ates in California. Georgetown has won 6 of the 11| games it has played. It is fairly sure that Lindquist, who pitched a briliant game against Marines Friday, will be back on the slab tomorrow in an effort to get the game necessary to make a winning team for the season. Georgetown got a late start in_base ball, the weather being such as almost to preclude practice during the period when local nines usually are getting under way in good shape. And with the inability to get the men in condition early, the Blue and Gray was hard hit in the matter of schedule through fail- ure of big Northern schools to make their annual trips this week. The short Echedule and late start, with practice, combined to put a damper on diamond activities on the Hilltop, pretty much es the same factors contributed to about the same situation on other col- lege campuses in this section. ITH Georgetown’s wind-up today, the only intercollegiate competi- tions remaining for local colleges are base ball and lacrosse games Mary- land is to play with Navy at Annapolis on Saturday. The Old Liners have been going along well in both sports and the two contests with Navy should be just about as good competition as usually is seen in these sports. Maryland won from Navy last year in both base ball and lacrosse. ITH the laying away of base ball uniforms and only a few more | days left of the current school year, Graduate Manager Murphy of | Georgetown already is turning his mind to the beginning of foot ball next Fall Tom Mills, of course, will have charge ORTS. By the Associated Press. ITTSBURGH, May 23—Capt. Ple Traynor of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who carries a base ball in his pocket all the time and talks base ball in his sleep, has played his 1,500th game in & Buc uniform. oh a plle ot o of con- gratulatory telegrams and pushed aside a group of well-wishing team- mates to take his post at third base against the world champior. St. Louis Cardinals yesterday and thus round out his record. NGLERS fishing in the Potomac opposite Fletcher's boat house, and in the vicinity of Chain Bridge in the last two days have landed a large number of pan rockfish and white perch. The river is still a little discolored, but not enough to stop the fish from attacking bait. As a mat- ter of fact, they seem ravenous after the spell of muddy and swift water. This week should be a banner one for an- glers, both in salt and fresh water. Up- stream fishermen will find bountiful sport with rock and perch. In salt water the anglers should catch many hard- heads and some trout. ‘The Patuxent River is reported to be alive with hardhead from Benedict to Broomes Island. George Bowen at Solomons reports that the boats at his Dlatg; are nearly all returning with good catches. LLIE ATLAS, Charlie Cohen and Dr. John Kotz, fishing at Benedict the other day with Capt. Toyer as their guide, landed 65 hardhead in a lit- tle more than 2 hours. The fish-seemed to like shrimp better than crabs. They ranged from 2 to 4 pounds. Ollie says anglers fishing in shallow water for hardhead at this time of the year g:gld cast as far as possible from the A report from Broomes Island states that all boats are returning with good catches. A party of employes of The Star press room force motored down to Chesa- peake Beach Wednesday night prepared to slaughter the hardhead. They fished in shallow water, but instead of catch- ing hardhead only succeeded in landing a large number of eels. They report that | many anglers were on the pier for the night fishing, but were unsuccessful. | | of foot ball again, and, o far as any- body knows, there never was any inten- tion on the part of anybody that he should not have. Mills turned out a good team and, through about as hard 8 schedule as any team pleys, made & good record. Georgetown need wish for | no better man to fill the shoes of its| head coach. ! Frank Kerejes, freshman coach last | Fall, is to be one of Mills’ varsity Is-‘ sistants when the squad gets out in| September. Frank Leahey, who helped | Mills last season, is to remain, while | Charley Brickman, one of the Blue and | Gray varsity linemen in 1931, is due to coach the first-year eleven. | — | ONE of the most unexpected results | that has taken place in athletic | competition here in many years‘ was the defeat of Jack Edwards in the | 400-meter dash in the A. A. U. track | and field mest here the other night by Gayle McGuigan of Catholic University. Almost everybody thought that wheni the men lined up on the starting mark | it would be just a case of how far Edwards would win, but the actual race developed anything but that. Me- | Guigan got the jump with the gun, with Edwards right at his heels. He was a | yard or two ahead all around the curve, but at the end of the back stretch Ed- wards pulled up almost even. He | dropped back on the curve again and | then tried to get out in front down the final stretch. ‘However, the C. U. boy had too much in reserve and, with a fighting spirit that kept him his short margin, broke the tape a winner. His times was less than 50 seconds. Inci- dentally, McGuigan's victory was ex- ceedingly pleasing to Catholic Univer- sity men, and his teammates rushed to the finish line to congratulate him. Edwards was a member of the mile re- lay team at the University of Penn- sylvania that the last Saturday in April | set a new record for the Penn Relay Carnival. ARL WIDMYER, who has been cleaning up the century and fur- long dashes for the Maryland freshman track team this Spring, should have a brilliant future in col- lege athletics. He is a strong runner who has the build and stamina to do enough work to develop much more rapidly and to a greater degree than others not so well blessed. There is | ot much doubt, unless he fails| to come up to expectations, that Wid- myer should better the 10-second mark | in more than one meet next year. He should clip around 1¢ flat for the cen- tury in nearly all his races, sometimes a tenth of a second over and sometimes a tenth of a second under. Widmyer | also has good possibilities as a foot ball player. At halfback on the freshman | team last Fall he was the chief ground gainer. However, in foot ball, while a | good ground gainer, he has almost eyvryming to learn about defensive play. 'HE basket ball league recently formed in Maryland is expected to | stimulate competition among the colleges of that’ State, and, more than | that, is looked upon as the finest kind | of a factor in the development of better | relationships. It is no secret that the | feeling among the colleges of Maryland | has not been at all times the Best, but in late years has been getting better and better. The new league is expected | to give the schools contacts which should prove about the most valuable medium the State has had for the build- ing of 2 mutually helpful spirit. As now contemplated, the league will | begin operation next December with | Johns Hopkins, Washington College, | Loyola, Mount St. Mary’s and Western Maryland as members. It is understood that the University of Baltimore also | is seeking membership. The league also ought to be very valuable in the ar- | rangement of schedules, as each schocl | 1s to play the other twice, in home-and- home games. Tom Kibler, athletic director at| ‘Washington College, is the leading light | in the organization. It was he who | conceived the idea, and who got repre- | sentatives of the schools together in | Baltimore to form the organization. | BOX FOR RAILROAD FARE Cavaliers Put on Show to Send Gentry, Goldstein to Tryouts.

B. “Pop” Girling made a trip to Hol- | land Point, across from Benedict, last Tuesday night. In relating his exper- iences to Rod and Stream he says: “The poet who wrote the line, ‘Into each life | some rain must fall,” knew his metaphor. George Anthony and myself got our i share of rain Tuesday night while fish- ing from Holland Point pier It cas- caded from our hats and raincoats i.ntoi our shoes and gurgled out over the tops. | But what dyed-in-the-wool angler minds | a little thing like that when fish are biting! | “Among the fish we landed were 10| of the largest hardheads I have ever seen landed anywhere—the kind you often hear of, but seldom see. | “We drove back to Washington with saturated trousers and socks, but happy in the knowledge that on the running board were enough hardheads to satisfy not only the family needs, but those of | a few neighbors. “Yeh, brother Ikes, ‘twas one of those nights when nature frowned, but for- | tune smiled.” RECENT newspaper advertisement stated that chicken and bass din- ners are served at Great Falls for $1. It is just barely possible that was meant, but if so, why didn’t the ad say sea bass? On the Virginia side it is ag#inst the law at all times to serve Potomac bass, and on the Maryland side they cannot be sold during the months of April. May, June and July. Yet, in spite of the law, the Potomac large and small mouth bass, taken from the river by net fishermen, have been offered to the public. Several arrests have been made in recent years to The ad has been called to the attention of the Bu- reau of Fisheries and the Maryland and Virginia conservation departments. T the annual convention of the Izaak Walton League of America, held in Chicago last month, reso- lutions previously adopted by the Wash- ington, D. C., Chapter of the league calling on the league to use its influ- ence to have the different State Legis- latures pass a law prohibiting the sale of black bass at any time was unani- mously adopted. Twenty-one States still allow the sale | of black bass over the market counter at a low price, in spite of the fact that these game fishes are estimated to be worth from $2 to $5 a pound to a State as a recreational attraction to anglers. Officials of the American Game As- sociation, in commenting on this ques- Plays 1,500 Games as Pirate Traynor’s Base Ball Enthusiasm Damaging to Plaster on Landlady’s Walls, His landlady says, “There’s just one thing I don't like about , he always has a base ball in his JSocket. ‘When he'sh ml]: bouncing l“ in the front porch, he’s tossing it against the walls of his room. That's bad for the plaster.” ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER: tion, quoted the claim of C. C. Wood- ward, game commissioner of Florida, that “every bass that brings 20 cents a pound in the market is worth $5 a pound under any lily pad in Florida. LEN C. LEACH, chief of fish cul- ture of the Bureau of Fisheries, estimated that the commercial catch of bass in Maryland last year, which brought $2,600 for 14,000 pounds, was actually a loss of $37,400 to the State. He figured the recreational value of this catch at $40,000. Is it any wonder then that the local chapter of the league is up in arms in trying to close the markets of Mary- land to the sale of black bass? There is, in the opinion of Rod and Stream, no chapter in the whole United States doing more effective work in this line than the local one. AME fishes are like good housewives —they want plenty of “furniture” in their homes, but no “dirt.” Every fisherman can easily improve the streams to which he has legitimate access by remembering tnat water alone doesn't make a fish feel at home, according to a bulletin of the Ameri- can Game Association. A park-like stream or pond means poor fishing. Fell an occasional tree into the stream. Sihk brush into the pond. This gives shelter and encourages food. If the stream gets low in the late Summer, build low dams along it. See that there is shade along the banks, that there are not too many carp or oher fish “pirates,” and that the water is not poisoned by pollution. The New Brunswick Government Bu- reau of Information informs us that the Atlantic silver salmon are ascend- ing St. John River and many beauties are taking the fly. Sportsmen who like best to take their fishing near a first- class hotel should be encouraged by reports from Hartts Island Pool and McIntosh’s Bar on the St. John River. These salmon have been running for more than a week. These pools are only a few miles above Fredericton. To date the two largest salmon caught weighed 26 and 22 pounds, respectively.

Shikat to Take on McCready |, In Next Thursday’s Mat Show ICK SHIKAT and Earl McCready, the only two wrestlers under the Jack Curley benner that Cham- pion Jim Londos has refused to tackle so far, will oppose in the fea- ture setch of Promoter Joe Turner’s e¥nd outdoor mat show at Griffith um next Thursday. supplementary card of four bouts will round out the card. McCready, former national inter- collegiate and A. A. U. champion and graduate of Oklahoma A. & M., which enjoys the same light in col- lege wrestling that Notre Dame boasts in foot ball, is, along with Shikat, rated among Curley’s “Big . Five” by the National Boxing Com- mission. McCready is ranked higher than Rudy Dusek and Jim McMillan, although the latter two probably are more prominent. Shikat, who blasted Howard Can- tonwine’s winning streak here last week, is reported nearer and nearer a match with Londos, or at least a crack at the title. Recently Pro- moter Jack Curley requested Londos to tackle Shikat and McCready, and the Greek refused both matches. Shikat, however, has scored over Mc- Cready. Sammy Stein, his nose repaired, will return to tackle Renato Gardini, Italian star, in the semi-final, a finish match. Stein, reputedly the quickest of all matmen, scored a hit last week in polishing off Alex Aberg. George Zaharias and Jack Wash- burn are booked for the main &r:— liminary, which may set some d of world record for roughness. Wash- burn is the chief villain in the cir- handicap and the mile consolation races, respectively, yesterday in bicycle races here. EAEL McCREADY. ROSENBLOOM SET 10 FIGHT HIS BEST Barry’s Foe Tonight Looking for Another Engagement at Twin City Arena. ET to gallop & scheduled distance of 10 heats against “Reds” Barry, rising local heavyweight, at Twin City arena, one mile outside Laurel, Md. tonight, Maxie Rosenbloom tods; was on edge. Reporting here in fine trim last night, the world light heavyweight championship claimant intimated he will be prepared to put up one of his greatest scraps. “I want to come back to Washington around July,” Maxie explained, “but I know before doing so it’s up to me to prove I am a real champion. Further- more, I'm confident Il do it.” PPRISED of the extreme youth of tonight's opponent, the 18-year- old redhead, Rosenbloom r 2 “I had almost a similar experience when I was 17. I was matched against Harry Greb, then at his best. I didnt beat Harry, but I gave him a great scrap. In fact, that was the fight that made me. “Understand, I'm in no way under- estimating young Barry. This may be the fight that will make him. Anyhow I',Q not taking any chances, if I can pul over a knockout I'll do it quick.” Rosenbloom furthermore announced that he intends inviting Al Schacht, comedian-coach of the Washington Club, to serve as his second tonight. +¢ A L and I have been fine friends for years” he explained. “And don’t forget he knows his box- ing. I can't think of a man I'd rather have in my corner.” Preliminary to the main go will be an eight-round semi-final in which Fred Haverlak, a stable-mate of Rosen- bloom, mixes with Don Whitlock, Flor- 1da lightweight. s ‘Two sixes involve Ray Bowen, Wash- ington welter, and Pete DeAngeles, Bal- timore, and “Young Van,” slugging Washington middleweight, and Sammy Britt, Philadelphia. In four-rounders Billy Essinger opposes Pete Zingo and Billy Hooe faces “K. O.” Anderson. Busses stationed at the Mohawk Club, 515 Eighth street southeast, are to transport fans to the arena and return at a nominal charge of 50 cents, running every five minutes o’clock.

HICAGO, May 23—Horse racing of the big league variety came to Chicago today with the opening of ‘Washington Park’s annual 30-day meet- ing, the climax of which will be the running of the $50,000 added American Derby June 18. More than 2.000 thoroughbreds were stabled at Washington Park and near- by Lincoln Plelds for the o] g day, and Col. Matt Winn, president of the ‘Washington Park Jockey Club, pre- dicted a successful season, with an inaugural day of 15,000 or more. Today's top event was the Washing- ton Handicap, $5,000 added for 3-year- olds and upward, at 6 furlongs. Twen- ty-three handicap stars were in the overnight list, with Don Leon the favorite. Don Leon was a 4-to-1 choice, but Tannery, winner of the event last year; Silverdale, Gold Step, Polydorus, Pansy Walker and Supreme Sweet did not lack support. American Derby, one of racing'’s richest fixtures, will be renewed for the sixth time at the present plant, with 129 horses eligible. Heading the list is Burgoo King, leader of the 3-year-old division, through his triumphs in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness; with Economic, Tick On, Top Flight, Border Warrant, Cold Check, Evening, Indian Runner, I Say, Liberty Limited, | Stepenfetchit and Barcelona Pete, also among the nominees.

Golf Analyzed BY JOE GLASS. Shifting the weight to the right leg in the backswing is one of the most _prolific destroyers of balance for the average player, particularly in the long shots. Here his im- pulse is to swing with all his might, and shifting his weight becomes body sway, which pulls the swing from its proper arc and results in all sorts of wild shots, chief among them being the slice—from the club- head drawing in to the left side. To the duffer “shifting the weight™ from the left to the right side seems to imply a change in the position of the body which, except for the turn- ing movement, must not take place. It would be more proper to think of the operation not as “shifting the weight,” but as a process in which the right leg becomes a brace to sup- port the weight when the pivot brings the left foot up on its ball and toe. Clarence Gamber, the Detroit pro- fessional, hits powerfully for tre- mendous distances, but his swing is smooth and true. His right leg, as the sketch shows, is braced against sway. His position at the top of the swing indicates the ter- rific power he is about to develop. His braced right leg not only helps obtain that power, but assists in con- trolling it. If you can’t control your long iron shots Glass’ free illustrated leaflet on “Long Iren Shots” will undoubt- edly help you. Address Joe Glass in care of The Star and ask for it.
