BOWLING ENTRIES
CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT
Today Is the Last Duckpinners
Can Enter District Asso- !,
citation Tournament.

Entries for the District Duckpin
Associations tournament. to be held
at the Grand Central, beginning April
30, close at midnight tonight.
According to Secretary Moe Gold
berg. IL Is impossible to make an esti-
mate OF the number to take part in
the tournament Until yesterday and
the day before few entries had been
received, but during the last two
days they have been coming in at q
rapid rate.
Every important league in the city
Is expected to be well represented 1t
Is more than probable that seven
teams from the District. circuit. will
roll and about the same number from
the National Capital
-. MasoAs TO Rell.
-Four or 1--WE teams from the Ma
sonic League had been heard from
up to today. and 1T is h<ely that sew
eral more will enter from Washing
tons largest bowling Organization.
The District Association officials
believe that as many, II not more,
bowlers will compete In the tourna-
ment as have yolled In the past. de-
spite unsettled conditions. which
have. to a degree, detracted attention
from the game.
WetxeI Gets Big Set.
Wetzel. rolling for the Hardware
team against Barber & Ross. in a spe-
cial match. came near knocking on a
400 set. Games of $50, 116, and 1z9
gave him q total Of 395.

ACOSTA AN ORIOlE
Wee Cuban Goes to Baltimore Club
for This Season.

Baldomero Acosta, jr., is no longer
a Griffman. He has been turned over
to Jack Dunn's Baltimore Orioles.
1t is unlikely that the Cuban gar
dener will again be seen in a Wash
ington uniform. Compared with the
outfielders now on the club. Acosta
IL fatally slow on his feet, while
his hitting last year in the American
Association was not such as to war
rant his Improving much in fast COM
pany.
Unfortunately for the little fellow,
the outbreak OF rebellion in Cuba
kept him at home until within a
couple of weeks. His father was a
rebel and the son had to remain with
his mother. Thus the player lost his
spring training and chance to make
good.

the football campaign. Possibly Yale
has private tip that the war will be
over by the, fall. but even without this
tip the Ellis are doing well to go ahead
with athletics. Not every student will
be with the colors. Those left behind
must exercise In some way. and the
best way Is in organized athletics under
competent directors and coaches. Maybe
that's the reason for the plans.
To the man up a tree, the main
trouble with the Griffmen 30 far has
been a lack Of pitching on the days
the batsmen do any execution. and q
lack Of hitting whenever johnson is in
form. And. II memory serves me right
ly. that's the same old tale with but
one difference. In the old days there
never was any time when the batsmen
did any execution. So perhaps Grin
will yet fnd a combination that will
bring batting and pitching together.
Speed the day!
Poor old Les Darcy-they're after
him again. The Australian alleged
champion, driven from New York to
Wisconsin to Louisiana to Tennessee.
finds he cannot show his hstic wares
in the volunteer state, and IL advised
to enlist in the United States army.
The trouble about this enlisting stun
is that the reason Darcy is here is to
escape just that same thing. Had he
remained in his native land q few
weeks longer. Re might have been
compelled by public opinion to- Join the
colors. With the United States q neu-
trail. and with its coffers bursting with
gold. Darcy fondly belieYed he would
escape military service and make
much money at one and the same
time. And now they tell him to enlist
1t never rains but 1t pours..

Old Glory on Every Side, With For
elan FLAGS on Roof.

That patriotism is rampant in the
Capital was shown conclusively at the
opening game Of the season yesterday.
A large national flag was raised with
becoming ceremony to. the top OF the
seventy-foot stan in center field. All
the boxes were tastefully adorned with
national banners. Practically every fan
inside the enclosure wore his button
showing his colors.
From the roof OF the grandstand
fioated the British Union Jack and the
trf-color OF France. These flags at
tracted much attention. many never
having seen either before.
Surrounding the playing field were
soldiers from Bort Myer in their SER
vice uniforms. They lent a grim setting
for the contest on the diamond.

ADVISERS TO ASK
FOR FIELD AT G. U.
HiIItoppers Have Offered to
Help Schools Out of
Trouble.

With the Western-Eastern baseball
game out OF the way, high school fac
ulty advisers are confronted with the
difficulty of finding a suitable place
to hold the remaining games in the
title series. Representatives will go
to Georgetown today to ask the aU-
thorities there to allow the use of
Georgetown Field for the remainder
Of the games.
The Union League Park grounds
are entirely inadequate for the con-
tests, the stands being in poor con-
dition and the field being impossible
for baseball. Difficulty was expert
contest owing to the lack of facili-
ties.
Next week Central and Tech will
play Tuesday. The usual Central
Tech crowd would be unable to use
the stands at the present field. Busi-
ness and Western are scheduled for
Wednesday. On Friday Central and
Eastern will probably postpone their
game as a result Of the annual par
ade and review of the high school
cadets.
Georgetown will be asked today II
there is any possibility OF getting the
use of the Hilltop diamond for the
remaining dates. II has been stated
at the Hilltop that every effort will
be made to cooperate with the ad-
visers.
Central will play Tome School at
PortDeposit today. The game was
originally scheduled for May 5, but
the Tome contingent wishes to come
here for the Maryland State meet
that date.
Eastern is journeying to Charlotte
Hall, Md, today for a game with
the cadets there. Four members OF
the team will be unable to accom-
pany the team, and Coach McCaffrey
is not expecting a win.
Western and Eastern furnished a
pretty battle for seven full innings
yesterday. The westerners won out
by S to by taking advantage OF
Fasteners misplays in the final
rounds. Western made few mistakes,
and gave Davidson good support.
The game stood at 2 all in tho
seventh when Western got to Hunt.
Several misplays by Eastern won the
game for the Westerners. Davidson
pitched creditabIe ball throughout
the game, tanning nine batters and
walking but two. He was steady in
the pinches and got away well at all
times.
Business and Friends are due TO
meet in tennis at the Friends Coun-
try Club courts today. The scheduled
meeting between Western and st. Al
bans has been called off.

BOB THAYER'S GOSSIP
ON SPORTING MATTERS

Going thirteen innings before
home crowd, only to lose out in the
end, is poor consolation to a ball
club and the Old Fox today is far from
happy in mind. He wanted to break
up his losing streak by winning his
first Washington contest. Oh well.
it's a long summer. There1l be other
days and other ways. He who quits
at the first sign of opposition merits
no esteem. Let's all stick to the
boys until they get started. They're
bound to get started.
Another season finds the Washing
ton high schools without a suitable
place to play baseball games. The
new Central stadium Is not available
on account of the soft turf. No other
inclosed grounds can be obtained at
present and the school boys are forced
to go begging for field. 1t Is about
time something definite were done
toward obtaining a suitable playing
place for all high school games, drills
and 'out-of-doors activities.
Secondary schools are maintaining
all schedules this spring despite the
fact that the colleges haye called off
sports. Few boys are enrolled in the
military drills at present and none OF
the teams in the country have been
hit hard by the absence of those who
had Joined the national guard regt
ments. But three weeks remain be-
fore the baseball and track seasons
will be over and II is thought wise
to continue the programs in practi-
cally all cases.

MACKMEN WIN GAME
IN The THIRTEENTH
Act Roughly Toward the En-
tertaining Griffs, Who Dream
+ ed of First Victory.

ats tough when you invite q big
bunch of friends to help you eat your
rarebit and then lot Of rough guys
rush in and grab 1t of the table and
hike. That's about what happened to
the Griffs yesterday when they saw
Connie Mack's team win a thirteen
inning game, 6 to 4, just when all the
fans thought II was going to result in
a brilliant. hard-fought triumph for the
Griffmen. It's tough, boys. it's tough.
Wlldness. a couple of hard bingles,
and Smiths weird heave put Gallia in
the hole in the first frame. three runs
coming over for the enemy. Judges
triple in the fourth scored Henry and
Gallia. and when Judge worked his way
around on his. own hit, another by
Milan. and a couple OF sacrifices in the
seventh, the count was even.
GaIHa Loses Power.
Both teams fought savagely all down
the line until the twelfth. when Galia
lost his power. Schang singled with
one down. The next Mackman whitfield,
but Witt singled. and Growers pass
filed the corners. Bodie waited around
and walked. forcing in Schang. 1t
looked all over.
Menosky and Jameson. pinch-hitting
for the battery, delivered safeties to
open the last half. and a pair Of sacri-
fees scored Menosky. tying the score
once more.
Ayers Onicial Goat.
Old Doctor Cox. Yancey Wyatt Ayers.
came along in time to be the official
goat IN the thirteenth. Thrasher drifted
a Texas Lacquer to left and Mclnnis
sacrificed. Bates scratched one past
Mcbride. Schang's single to center
scored both men, and Jim O'Day's gang
began hanging crepe on the front gate
Ga1lia pitched steady ball after the
first frame down to the twelfth Only
four hits were made by the Mackmen
in the first eleven frames to ten for the
home boys. But "Jing,ing" johnson.
the Ursinus collegian, had more endur-
ance. He was still on the job when the
thirteenth ended with q deleat for the
Grifrmen. and that's what counts, as
the following proves:
