ANNAPOLIS. Md. May 3.-Today's
program in sports in this town prob
ably is better than any that has been
run off this season, with one possible
exception. The Navy teams feature
the events as usual. They are to face
Syracuse in lacrosse and rowing. 20
against the University of Pennsylvania
in dual track and field meet and play
against the Virginia Military Institute
in base ball. Another contest that is
feature in Marland is the annual
base ball game between Maryland
State and st. Johns, to be played at
st. Johns.
There is not much doubt that the
Navy will get away with a big score
against Virginia Military Institute in
base ball. The Virginia cadets are
In no wise comparable to the midship-
men on the diamond, and II the Navy
rails to win about as 1t pleases 1t
Will surprise those familiar with the
strength of the two teams.
In rowing the MiddieS also have
shown enough to give them the edge.
on Syracuse. The New Workers. seem
to have big crew, but hardly have
shown the form that enabled the Navy
to wipe up Pennsylvania. Harvard and
Princeton on consecutive Saturdays.
The Navy is likely to run into a
real snag when ii hits the University
of Pennsylvania in a dual track meet.
The Sailors have good team. though.
and may do lot better than any
body expects. In fact. 1t will be sur
prisins IL they do not accomplish
more than is looked for by Pennsyl-
vania supporters. who claim that
they should win easily.
Maryland State has been showing
much better form than st. Johns IN
base ball. However. that Is not say
ties are going to win. as the game OF
base ball has its idiosyncrasies Just
as have all other games in which;
chance is a big factor.
Georgetowns dual track and field
meet with Johns Hopkins In Wash
ington today will be watched by the
track men with great deal OF inter-
est. because the meet should give a
fair idea Of the comparative chancas
of each school for capturing the south
Atlantic intercollegiate track and
field meet in Baltimore next Satur,.
day. 1t seems, from what has been
done in track athletics this year, that
the South Atlantic intercollegiate As
sociation meet lies between George
town and Hopkins. While other
schools are sure to cut in with points
next week. the college that takes to-
days meet probably will win. -

pears on the Hilltop and the Tarheels
have been doing good enough work
to warrant a statement that they
have a chance to win. The George
town team has been going like
house afire" of late. but the visitors
have a pitcher who is said to be the
equal Of any other college hurler In
the south-Murray. The visitors took
two games from Virginia Polytechnic
Institute by scores of 10 to and to
g. and any team that ca nbeat Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute by such
margins is deserving of much consid-

Technical High Schools victory over
Eastern yesterday in Washington was
not unexpected 1t was thought that
the game would be much closer than
it was, but the Manual Trainers have
a much older and more experienced
aggregation.
Dave Pfeiffer. Lehigh pitcher, who
used to attend Technical High School.
was given a strenuous welcome by
other former Washington high school
men at Maryland State yesterday.
Snyder and Eiseman, who were Pfeif-
fer's teammates at Tech. got four hits.
two each. one of Snyder's being a
triple. Pfeiffer had a lot Of stun on
the ball, but grooved it too much. Le-
high was unable to hit successfully
against either Keene or Holder.
Lehigh plays Catholic University to-
day in Washington. The Brooklanders
ought to have at least an even chance
for a victory, and if they get the
right kind of pitching should win
easily.
Gallaudet's base ball team is at
Quantico today for a meeting with
the Marines.
