Three of Middies' Best
Men Have Been Unable
to Play Regularly So Far

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 17-As the
date of the baseball game between the
mines Of the Naval and Military acade-
mics approaches keener interest is be-
ing felt in its outcome, and the hopes
of the Naval people here are high that
the midshipmen will be able to break
the long series of army victories. The
Navy has registered only two victories
in the sixteen games played. The last
eight games have been won by West
Point.
The last game was played at Annap-
oils, in 1916, and the midshipmen were
overwhelmed by 13 to 8. Some of the
games, however, had been close. Three
of them were won by the Army by a
single run, and another, the game of
1910, resulted to O..
The Naval nine has not developed
quite as was hoped. With squad of
unusual strength and a coach Of the
highest ability in Billy Lush, it was
thought that the midshipmen would
come to the front. There are some in
dications, however, that the nine will
shake itself together for the home
stretch. The big game will be played
at West Point on May 81.
The nine has had little use Of three
Of the best men who remained from
last year. Cloughley, the regular
catcher, has been sick nearly the whole
season, and has just returned to the
game. This is also true Of Doyle, first
baseman last year, while Whelchel,
third baseman, has been out of condi-
tion following an illness, and has not
been able to do himself justice Final
ly, Stubbs, the regular right fielder and
a reliable hitter, has hurt his ankle
and will not be able to play again this
season.
Pino has been moved from second to
third and Doyle was placed on second
when he returned to the game last
week, while Humphreys, who has been
doing we'll at first, was allowed to re-
main there. Pine was not moved from
his old position until after several ex-
periments on third had been found
wanting. He is doing fairly we'll in the
new position. Doyle has played only
fairly at second, but signalized his re-
SNAii ~ viz game w SIHdSnlnE OUT SIX

Only a moderate degree of pitching
skill has been developed from the big
string with which the season was be-
gun. Ralph Baker, a veteran, and
Leicester Baker. new man, are the
only ones who have shown any
strength. 1t is hard to say at this time
which will be chosen for the final game.
1t is of interest to note that l.. Baker
played last year on the Army and
Navy prep team with McGrath, the
mainstay at West Point They took
turns on the slab, but the report here
is that Baker was somewhat the better.
Navy people point out that the in
itials of the Bakers indicate their kind
of delivery, r. Baker being right

wing.

Splinters and Cinders
By Il. c. CAVAGNARO.

Andrew Walsh, ST., who was a prom
inent champion during the '90s is
proving his worth as coach Of the
Brooklyn Athletic Association. The
rapid advancement of the Brooklyn Or
ganization to high position in track
and field contests is due primarily to
the ability of Walsh to develop prom
ising novices. Walsh has been sought
by several other clubs of the district
to instruct it's athletes, but he has de-
clined these richer contracts to remain
with the Brooklyn Athletic Associa-
ton.
During his athletic days Walsh Gre
ated several records at the mile that
stood many years Of assault before
they were broken. He was twice win
ner of the Metropolitan Association
one-mile championship, scoring these
wins In 1892 and 1897, defeating the
best distance men Of the country. In
1895 Walsh created a world indoor rec
ord Of 4:25 for the mile run at Me-
chanics' Hall, Boston, which remained
in the record book for seventeen years
before it was broken. He also held
the metropolitan Association record
for the mile Of 1926. This mark was
lowered eleven years later by Melvin
W. Sheppard to 1925 3-5
After running his last race Walsh
went into retirement for number of
years, when he finally was persuaded
to handle the athletes of the Presen-
tation Club track team. His success
began here, for it was not long before
the Presentation Club leaped into the
limeight with group Of fast runners
After the Presentation Club had re-
tired from the field of athletics Walsh
Joined the Brooklyn A. A.
For the last two years Walsh has
assumed the task of coach of the
Brooklyn Athletic Association withou.
any remuneration. However, realizing
his value as q coach, the B. A. A. boys
showed their appreciation of Walshs
efforts by rendering him a contract.
The most promising boys brought to
the front by Walsh were ANDY Craw,
Louis Kaufman and Eddie Mayo, all of
whom have won the junior Metropoli-
tan Association 'cross-country cham
pionship in the last three years.
Walsh thinks very highly of Craw and
anticipates bright future for him.
OF the many cubs" developed by
Walsh, those who scored in their first
effort were Cornelius Miller, Russell
Jekel, Melville Schaeffer, Sam Herzig
and Leonard BauXbnum. Walsh is en-
deavorng to strengthen the field squad
and when this is accomplished the
Brooklyn organization can be expected
to hold its own with any Of the tAhletic
clubs of this city.
The "Rothschild Trophy" which is a
three-year point cup competition, will
be awarded to the club winning the
team prize in the handicap road race OF
five miles to be held by the Kings
County Athletic Association next Sun
day afternoon. Tho trophy has been
named in honor of Alex Rothschild, the
clubs speedy sprinter, who has shown
his loyalty by remaining with the club
despite alluring offers from other local
