SPORTS. VARIED PROGRAN STARTS AT NOON Track Opens Card, Lacrosse Ends It—Base Ball Tilt With G. U. Attracts. BY BURTON HAWKINS, NE of those Maryland ath- letic festivals which dig early graves for sports writers but nevertHeless inject a healthy shot of strychnine into the local sports parade, will be unraveled for the twentjeth time tomorrow at Col- lege Park in the Terps' annual fleld | day. A panoramic glimpse of the situa- % tion will find interscholastic athletes from 48 schools inaugurating the | Plump program with a 4rack mect at | noon, to be followed an hour later | by a dual track meet involving the | varsity squads of Maryland and Wil- liam and Mary and a tennis match between the Terps and Oatholic Uni- versity. The varsity track meet will be run concurrently with the scholas- | tic events. | If, perhaps, your sports appetite has | not been satiated fully by that time, | you may saunter over to the base ball field and witness Maryland en- | counter Georgetown's crack team at 8 o'clock. A lacrosse game between the Old Liners and Syracuse, one of the bettern Northern tens, will climax the card at 4 o'clock. Put one buck | on the line and you can take your pick or see them all. Plenty of Attractions. JHILE the base ball game doubt- less will attract fans, due to its #trictly local angle plus the caliber of both teams, the scholastic track meet looms as a rival, with more than | 400 athletes primed for a concerted assault on records, which with the exception of the county school marks, stand an excellent chance of sur- Viving, Both Mercersberg Prep and Bel Air High, open and county champions, respectively, last year, will have tough | times defending, with every man on | both teams who collected points last season absent this year due to gradua- tion. Twenty-one of Bel Air's| 32 points I year now are with the | Maryland freshman squad in the | persons of Jack Archer, Roland | Hulshart and James Kehoe. Jeopardizing Mercersberg's chances of repeating will be such teams as Eastern, Tech, Central and Roosevelt of Washington and Baltimore City College, Gilman County School, Forest Park, Mount St. Joseph's, McDonogh and Baltimore Poly of Baltimore. Bel Air's chief threats loom in Hagerstown, Alleghany, Hyattsville and Bethesda-Chevy Chase. D. C. Schools Contenders. Roosevelt recently gave some indi- cation of its strength by whipping Forest Park, 80-36, and has outstand- ing performers in Ollie Atkinson, ‘Truman Lancaster and Napoli, all of | whom captured two events in that ! meet Central, Eastern and Tech also have shown well in dual and | triangular meets this season and may | surprise. Twenty-two scholastic track and field events will be staged, with 13| open, 8 county and a mile relay race | for members of the Maryland Inter- scholastic Association rounding out the card. Thirty-nine of the 46 com- | peting schools are within the State | of Maryland. Despite the formidable array of talent, present records seem likely to stand. Marks established by Bréoke Brewer of St. Albans in the 100 and 220 yard dashes of 0:09.8 and 0:22.4 seconds, respectively, and a broad Jump record of 23 feet set by Lawrence Sullivan of Baltimore Poly have re- mained unsurpassed in more than 20 years of competition Terps Seek Revenge. SWITCHING over to the ball game, we find Maryland seeking to atone for a 9-1 shellacking received from the Hoyas last week when the | Terps' regular pitching staff was | suffering from a severe case of over- work in Southern Conference games, | thus necessitating the use of three | second stringers who hit Georgetown | bats rather frequently. Tomorrow, however, Maryland will be at full strength, with Dale Patter- son, ace of the Terps” twirlers, Coach | Burton Shipley’s mound selection. | Coach Joe Judge of Georgetown will counter with Mike Petroskey or Hank Bertrand in an effort to bring the Hoyas their seventh consecutive vic- | tory. . Lacrosse fans will focus their glim- mers mainly on Charley Ellinger, whose feeding of the ball last week proved a prominent factor in swamp- ing St. John's, 17-6. Although Syra- cuse is rated strongly, Maryland's | high-scoring triumverate of Rip| Hewitt, Jim Meade and Bob Neilson | give the Terps the edge.

OBERLIN, Ohio, April 30 (£).—A small Ohio college unfurled its “wel- come” banners today for the slim shortstop who captained its 1913 base ball team—better known now as Harry W. Colmery, the American Legion’s national commander. The soft-spoken Oberlin College diamond star came back to the fa- miliar campus to present his alma mater with a bronze medal for Ober- lins contributions to world peace. —_— BEARS LIKE ALLISON.

AMPERED by lack of training due to adverse weather condi- tions, Gallaudet's surprisingly strong track team will stack up against Randolph-Macon tomorrow in a dual meet at Hotchkiss Field, Kendall Green, at 2 o'clock. Jewell Babb, who recently entered every field | event in a triangular meet with Cath- olic University and American Univer- sity and placed in them all to score 1515 points, again will try to spread- eagle the field, concentrating on his | specialties, the javelin and high jump. | Also figuring strongly in Gallaudet's plans toward victory is the lanky Joe Burnett, District A. A. U. champion, who captured the 880 and mile runs in the triangular meet and is favored | heavily to repeat against the invaders. Records Are in Danger. FRANK DAVIS, quarter-miler, and | Dick Phillips, hurdler, are likely choices to capture their respective | specialties. Phillips took the 120-high hurdle race in competition with the Cards and Eagles, while Davis, in the estimation of Coach Teddy Hughes, has an excellent chance of cracking the existing track record of 0:52.4 seconds. Despite the lack of practice, Hughes feels his charges are in fine condition. The Blues are pointing for the Mason and Dixon conference meet at Balti- more on May 8 and would like to have a victory at the expense of Randolph- Macon under their collective belts | before journeying there.

HERE'S one bit of gambling that District Attorney Garnett has machines from drug stores and street corners, he may close racing “books” and he may shut off the roll- ing dominoes, but can he stop the or two on a golf match? Not while Central and Roosevelt boys have their lunch allowance. Bobby Brownell, the District amateur team, is looking forward to the meet- ing tomorrow morning between his team and the Central High linksmen headed by Bob Harmon.

We must have as much as four dollars bet on that match. I hope some of the boys don’t get to thinking too much about the money Let that be a lesson to you, Mr. District Attorney.

Four bucks on a golf | match, think of it. HEIR faces turned toward the P. G. A. championship will open May 24, George Diffenbaugh and Al Treder, Washington club-swingers, and little Benny Loving, unattached Richmond today for the pro match play cham- pionship. These three qualified yes- terday in a melee over the rain-soaked Indian Spring course, where Treder 143, one above par, while Diffenbaugh won the last place in a 9-hole play-off with Bob Barnett after the two had tied at 145. so completely upset the dope of the wiseacres as that P.

But Walper and Houghton were far outside, Spencer missed tieing for last | place by a single shot, and Treder and dream about, slipped in to top the| parade. | What matter that 'Treder, with a par 4 on the last hole to of 67, missed a shot in a bunker and finished with a 6. Or that Loving took a 5 on that tough finishing hole when a 4-would qualified, and then came Diffenbaugh and Barnett, playing together, both with 4s for 144, and both finishing | with 55 when each man missed a | green. Indeed, George missed four short ones in that final nine, and for Barnett it must have been a sad blow, for he'd played grand golf up to the went out to play off at 9 holes. George scored 36 for that nine against 39 for Bob, who looked as if he didn't care whether school kept or not. P. G. A. sector didn’t come any- where near up to expectations. Hough- ton started with a 73 and slipped up to 78 in the second round. Walper, open- round. And Cliff Spencer never did get over the 6 he took at the eighth hole. For Loving, qualification means another chance to go somewhere in on Central-Roosevelt overlooked. He may erase slot temptation of schoolboys to risk a dime champion, who heads the Roosevelt may decide the stewardship of the “Why they've put in all their dimes angle.” 'HE match will be played at Indian If Mr. Garnett doesn't do something Pittsburgh Field Club, where the pro, were sharpening up their shots and Loving tied for the top spot at Not in many years has a tournament Cliff Spencer among the possibilities, Loving, playing the kind of golf you | tie the course competitive record have led the entire parade.

He lost his job at Charlottesville a few months ago and now is unattached. If he can get anywhere in the championship at Pittsburgh it may mean a good job for him. DIFFENBAUGH confessed today that the toughest shot of the 145 he used was the 3-footer he holed on the thirty-fifth, and & e most dis- appointing the 4-footer ti.at he missed at the thirty-sixth. For he and Bob Barnett were tied at that point, and had Bob holed one of like distance he would have been in and George would have been out. So close was the battle.
