Two of the most capable college
pitchers in the south are gracing local
mines this spring. They are pudaok OF
Georgetown and Kendrick Of Catholic
University. The former is spending his
frst year on the hilltop while the lat
ter is in his third season on the mound
for the Brooklanders. On their show
ing In practice contests and in games
they can be placed as high and possibly
higher than any other collegiate huri-
ers around these parts
Dudack and kendrick are built along
different lines the former being heavily
and powerfully built and the latter
being of the tall. slender type. Both
have lot Of stuff, though, and have
shown that they can win games Du-
dack, by the way. has proved quito a
md for Georgetown, as he has made
regular jobs on the foot ball. basket
ball and base ball teams. Kendrick en-
cages in no other sport except base
ball
Maryland State and Catholic Univer-
sity also have capable pitchers when
they are working at their best. The
former has in Mornhinweg a hurler
who has pitched winning games against
some OF the best college mines in the
east. and the latter possesses in Fer
guson a youngster who already has
proved his worth this spring by going
twelve innings against Catholic Uni
versity.
Holy Cross seems to have a splendid
hurler in Gill. He pitched fifteen in-
nings against Catholic University and
yesterday went in and hurled a win
ming game against Hopkins, striking
out eighteen men. II Gill Is the same
man who was at Boston College two
years ago he certainly Is good, because
he was offered a contract by the Bos-
ton American League Club.
Rooney. third baseman, is the only
local man playing on the Catholic Uni
yersity nine. He is doing good work
too, being perhaps the most valuable
member of the team, excepting the
pitchers.
Had Maryland State not lost Macdonald
Knode and Siesert it would probably have
had the strongest college team in the sec
tion this spring. All three were good bal
players, the last mentioned being an ex-
ceptionally good outnelder and hard hit.
ter. He Is now at Camp Meade, while
Knode left school to go to Marshall Col
lege, West Virginia, and Macdonald quit
to go to work
Finnegan, playing nrst base for George.
town, is another newcomer to local cole
in three sports. He held down a guard
position on the eleven and did well a,
guapd in basket ball.
Western High yesterday took the mea.
sure of the Alexandra High School nine
by 9 to 3. Graves, Western twirler, lei
down the yirginians with four hits and
famed six. Western had the game wei
in hand all the way.

DISCARD SPRING FOOTBALL.

New York, April l5.-Spring football
practice. which has been a feature
at nearly all OF the larger colleges for
many years. has been crowded OF The
athletic fields by military training. AT
Pennsylvania, Franklin Field is taken
up so much during the afternoon with
military training and baseball prac-
tice that there is no room for the
football candidates to work, so Coach
Bob Folwell has abandoned gridiron
drill until next fall.
There is also another reason why
the football coaches do not ind Il
necessary to hold spring practice ti'ts
year. Nearly every student in the
colleges is taking up one sort Of ath-
letics or another and this general
participation in sports, together with
military training. has all the students
in such fine physical shape that spe-
cial training in football is not neces-
sary.
Folwell. PENIS coach, e. enthusiastic
about the football outlook for next
fall. yale, Harvard and Princeton
will take un FORMAL athletics again
next fall.'' says Folwell, "and this
fact itsel. !. will do much to boost the
game. I3esides, at most OF the other
colleCes the teams will not be much
belc the standard and there does
o'Iseem TO be such a dearth Of good
