When Lieut.. Craige, post athletic
officer at Quantico. brings his star
team to Washington next
Sunday to play the much talked Of

park. he will not meet green or in
experienced players. The ranks Of
the Navy Interbureau League con-
tain some Of the best baseball tai
ent to be found in this vicinity. 1t
is practically assured that in one
game they will have to face the
well known local battery composed
of "Finney" Kelley and BUS"
Hager.
This pair of heady players are re-
membered by many in connection
with the achievements of the W. B.
& A. team of 1916. and other
champion organizations. Kelly il
more feared on the mound than any
other local hurler. as he is always
a puzzle. Hager played with
Shreveport in the Texas League in
1917, and in the last days Of the
circuit caught twenty-one games in
sixteen days. - His batting in that
league ranged around 400. He is
well known as hitter who breaks
up" games in professional company.
In addition to the above, Lem
owen, one of the first string twirl-
ers Of the crack Rex A. c.. will also
be seen on the mound in one of the
games. Owen, also. in his coun-
try's service, is a twirler TO be
counted upon for strong and bril-
liant work on the ball field.

cabled the A. A. U. to this effect.
asking that the American body re-
fuse to allow the Australian mer-
maid to swim in this country PEN
ding the arrival of a letter from
the Australian association.
And the reason for this tempest
in a teapot is because Miss Durack
selected her own chaperon when
she sailed for America instead of
consulting the A. S. A. about it.
According to rumors filtering in
from the coast. where Miss Du-
rack is to land. the Australian
speed wonder insisted on bringing
her sister to America as a chap
eron. while the A. S. A. was equal
ly insistant that she bring some
one invested with amateur author

For this reason the A s. A. has
cabled the A. A. L. that it considers
that the highest standards of anna

Chicago, June 4.-Benny Leonard
has earned the title Of the most val
liable boxer in the world. Perhaps
Benny may not be the greatest light

Benny has done more to Justify the

of $1,000 for the military athletic

BUCK HOWARD
GOOD PILOT
Former Western High Star
Captains Great Nine at
Cornell.

H. Irving Howard, better kovn
as Buck" to HIS many friends in
Washington, took an active part On
Cornelfs great athletic system dur
Ing the year just closed. The popu-
lar young shortstop was unani-
mously elected captain Of the varsity
baseball team At the advent OF the
season early in March, and guided
the destinies of the big Red Team"
through a successful season, with
a record Of six wins and, four loses.
Two of the defeats were at the
hands of service teams.
The baseball schedule at Cornell
was curtailed this season due TO an
early closing by the ithaca institu-
tion to allow the professors and
students TO get into war activities
earlier.
Dispatches from Ithaca hold that
Howard played a sensational neld-
ing game throughout, and cashed
in at the end of the season with
batting average OF 1851, which led
the varsity hitters.
Howard Is a product OF the West
ern High School here. where he cap
tained both the football and base
DdAA AtdAhc hAE SNNASA s~oAa
Later he became better known TO
local fandom while playing third
base for the champion Pepco
nine several summers ago.
Buck is not the first member Of
the family to carve a niche in the
athletic traditions at Cornell. for
IL will be remembered that his
brother, Artie Howard. was a mem
ber of the Cornell varsity in the
days when Danny Coogan was busi-
ly engaged in turning out cham
pionship mines for the Ithacans sew
eral years back.
When asked II Cornell intended
to continue athletics during the war
Howard said: 'Cornelrs policy has
always been TO get into training
as many boys as possible and will
continue to do so for development
during the war as prescribed by
both President Wilson and Secre-
tary Baker" Howard has nothing
but words Of commendation for Al
Sharpe, head coach in football. base
ball and basketball at Cornell. and
says he is just the man TO develop
young collegians athletically for
the bigger battles to come. Howard
was attached to The Herald sporting
stan q few years ago.
