Protest in Sunday School
League Appears Unfair

protested game TO Peck Chapel, thereby
allowing that team to become tie with
Christ Lutheran for first place.
1t is the opinion OF The Herald that
such action would be an injustice to
both the league leaders and the Fourth
Presbyterian team that assumed the
wins and losses Of the Eastern team
when it took the latter place in the
league
The opinion is based on the following
reasons: The protested game was played
November % and Eastern won; January
the Eastern team dropped out Of the
league and its wins and losses were
awarded to the Fourth Presbyterian,
which took its place; Manager Halter
did not enter his protest until February
I, full month after Eastern had with
drawn from the league, and at a time
when the game could not be played over;
it would be a great injustice to the
Fourth Presbyterian team to have one
Of the games that the league had given
1t as won. taken from it and charged
as a loss against its standing,
and as 1t is not claimed that the
protested man was an exceptionally fine
player and was entered only In this
game, also that he was the main cause
Of Peck's defeat; but the only objection
to him is that he failed to attend his
Sunday school the number of SUNDAYS
required. he being one short.
In justice to the other members of
the league who want to see the pennant
Won by the team that has the best per-
centage, and not decided on minor tech
nicalities, 1t is hoped the game will be
allowed to remain as played and the
protest disallowed.

TRAvEPS STILL AN AMATEUR.
Open Champion VIII Not Be Barred
by Golf Association.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 27.-Evcn
though the list of golfers eligible to
play in the national amateur champion
ship which will be issued before long
by the United States Golf Association
will omit the names of a few golfers
who have run afoul Of the new amateur
ruling. it will not omit the name of Je-
rome d. Travers.
From time to time there have been
rumors that the national open cham
pion might be blacklisted because of in
fringement of the provision which pro-
hibits a golfer from lending his name
to newspaper or magazine articles not
written entirely by himself, but these
rumors are not true.
AS soon as Travers gets through with
the contract under the terms OF which
he is working no more articles viii ap-
pear under his name unless they are
actually written by him. That is his I'M
derstanding with the powers that be. and
SO there is not the slightest chance Of his
name being among the missing when the
eligible list comes out.

urfmen Preparing for
Race Meet at Bowie

From now until next Saturday will
be busy days at Prince Georges Park,
Bowie, Md, where the opening Of the
twelve-day meeting of the Southern
Maryland Agricultural Association will
usher in the racing season in Maryland
on that day. Horsemen will be busy,
exercise boys will be busy, the rail birds
will be busy. Superintendent Thomas
Strahan Will be busy with his assistant
getting everything in readiness for the
opening. As matter Of fact, the scene
surrounding the entire plant will be that
of business.
The railbirds have been constantly on
the job since the arrival of a majority
OF the horsemen who will take part in
the meeting, and some very clever work
outs have been reported. Some Of the
owners have not given the checkers an
opportunity to see as yet the true con-
dItion of their horses, as they have
been content with galloping them over
the course. This Is most notable among
the New Orleans horses, as most OF
them came to Maryland fit to race, hav-

Willard Will Retain the
Title for Years to Come
Big Cowboy Champion Is Too
Rugged for Present-Day
Fighters In the Class.
MORAN GAME BATTLER

New York, March H.-Jess Willard re-
mains as supreme ruler in the world OF
pugilism- His wonderful physical pow
ers, added TO his recently acquired clev-
erness, make II seem practically certain
that he will reign for years to come; will
retain the crown until beaten either by
old age or by a foe more powerful and
huger.
THOSE who scored at Willard in the
past are silent now. The showing Of
the giant Kansan an Saturday night
against Frank Moran has convinced the
skeptics that he Is the peer OF every
ring warrior; that none can compare
with him; that he is a champion in every
sense Of the word.
Willard met the best msn in the ranks
Of the challengers when he encountered
Moran-and he beat the Pittsburgher de-
cisively. There is no room for argument
as to the result Of that bout
The champion beat his rival IN every
department He took everything Moran
He stood up under the bsttering Of
Moran's terrific right-snd smiled when
most Of the swings landed.
Whether willard would have been able
| to put down Moran for the count had
he not been handicapped from the third
round on with a broken finger on his
| right hand, is a question. II the right

siK-round battle against Jack johnson.

header and displayed cleverness far be-
yond that which he exhibited in Cuba.
From the third round on he fought a
fast and furious fight. Moran today
asked for another chance at the cham
pion. over a decision rule. Whether he
could win is doubtful The PittsburEer
probably could beat any man at his
own weight-202 pounds-but he does not
seem good enough 70 spot" Willard al.
most sixty pounds and win.
There is glory for Moran even in his
defeat. The way he stood up under the
Willard bombsrdment was marvellous In
only two rounds did he fail as the often
sive fighter. He showed but little rims
science. He threw whatever skill he
had to the winds and willingly took

Catholic University and swarthmore
baseball teams will meet today on Brook

season. swarthmore will be a hard
proposition forNthe Brooklanders, as the
team has been working out in the cage
for the past three weeks and is in
good shape.
Coach Charlie Moran will use the same
lineup as he had In the field Saturday,
with a slight shift In the infeld. Caffre
will take the place of Cahill at third
and the latter replace Harrington on sec
ond, who will be out of the lineup for
the next few days.
AS Don johnson has been working out
for the past few weeks, he should be
ready to pitch today for the Black and
Red team. Croaker or Hendricks may
start the game. Hendricks showed a lot
of stun on Saturday, but had lacked
control.
Catholic University has a stronger team
In the field this season than last, the
outfeld looks better than last year, and
1t is stronger on the defense. The in.
field Is more evenly balanced. With
