MORAN REDUCES SQUAD

The opening game Of the season for the
and the Maryland Aggies, scheduled to be
played on Tuesday at Brookland, was de-
clared off yesterday by the coaches OF
the two institutions as the weather has
not permitted enough practice for the
teams to get in shape.
Just when this game will be played is
not known at present. and the opening
game for the Washington colleges will
be played next Saturday when the Aggies
meet the Gallaudet College team at Ken
dali Green.
Coach Moran. OF the Brooklanders, has
had but two days in which he could drill
his men without iniuring them, and as
this is not sufficient time to drill the
team. the combat was declared off. How
ever. Moran has spent the last few days
lin cutting his squad. and at present has
but twenty men to go through the sea-
son.

corner is causing the worry. as four can

who at this writing will get the job is
hard to say.
Callahan. Cahill, Duffey and MCNIahon

it is not thought that Coach Moran will

Charlottesville Va, March 1s.-Accord-
ing to Manager Griffith there, are two
perfectly good reasons why he intends to
hold tight to Carl Sawyer, the young
infielder purchased last fall from the
Des Moines club of the Western League.
IN the first place, Sawyer is my type
of ball player, the kind of man !
want on my club. He Is heart and soul
in the game, plays it for all its worth
and takes good care of himself.
Secondly. I bought Sawyer upon the
recommendation of Frank Isbeli, the old
White Sox first baseman and last year
manager Of Des Moines.
"Isbell recommended two pitchers to
me, both OF whom my scouts turned down
and who now are recognized as two OF
the best in the American League. I re-
fer to Jim Scott and Urban Faber, both
OF the Chicago White Sox.
Il had chance to buy Scott when I was
in Cincinnati, but Tom Mccarthy, my
scout, did not think Scott worth the
money Isbell wanted, so passed him up.
Three years ago Isbell recommended
Urban Faber and sent Mike Kahoe out
to look Faber over. Kahoe's report was
about the same as McCarthy's on Scott
and Faber was sold to Chicago.
Last summer Isbell wrote me about
Carl Sawyer. I had Jack Ryan take a
peek at Sawyer and Ryan advised that i
buy him, which was done.

Brewer Is Picked to Win

he has been a student at the st. Alban
