PIRATES WOULD CLIMB
With Third Place as Their Goal
They Take Another Game
From the Reds.

The Pirates, keen for a look-in at
world series spoils. are driving for a
thirdplace finish in the National
League championship race. Yester-
day they again trounced the proud
world champions, making it three de-
feats in a row at Pittsburgh for the
Reds. The Pirates now are only two
games out of the money. Philadelphia
surprised itself and Boston by grab
bling a double-header.
Excellent pitching by Cooper and
the timely hitting of Grimm, Barn
hart and Tierney gave the Pirates
their 4-to-0 victory over the Reds.
The winners punched their hits in the
fourth and sixth for all their tallies.
The Phils thrashed the Braves. to

this time of year in order to mike much
Roadway against the Maryland defense.
Other foot ball games in the south
Atlantic section, and elsewhere for that
matter. should result in each case with
one of the contending elevens winning
rather easily. There may be one ex-
ception to this, as West Virginia Unf-
versity may have something more on its
hands in meeting West Virginia Wes-
leyan than it looks for Nobody doubts
that Virginia is going to win without
much trouble, and V. 7. J.. V. NJ. l. and
North Carolina State should annex vic
tories from the rather infirm opposition
| they are pretty sure to have.
While the Maryland eleven is playing
it's first game tomorrow afternoon,
coaches of the other varsity squads here
will be putting their men through stiff
practices.
Georgetown and George Washington
are to play games a week from tomor-

I umpired the first two or three weeks
in most of the games the Chicago club
played. 1t won something like fifteen of
the first twenty. The club seemed to
be going better than ever After a
brilliant game at Detroit, in which the
Tigers were ,outclassed, Jack Coombs,
coaching at first base, remarked to me.
There is one of the greatest teams
I have ever seen. 1t is as good, if not
better, than the old Athletics. 1t should
win the American League pennant in a
romp.'
Instead of winning easily. the White
Sox are fighting to the last ditch for the
right to play in the series. The club
has failed to live up to the expectations
of the early spring.

When the Central coach looked over
the candidates at their first meeting
he found the material about the best
that has turned out during his regime.
Despite lack of veterans, the squad
has responded intelligently to instruc-
ton and is rapidly rounding into
shape The backfeld candidates es
pecially are developing favorably. All
the aspiring ball carriers are sturdy
boys, and with a bit more of coach
ing should give good accounts of
themselves.
Quarter Candidates Good.
Besides Conklin three others are
seeking the quarterback berth. Dun
lap, who played at the position on a
class team last year, shows POSSIBLE
tiles, while Goodman, a freshman, and
Rand, another newcomer, have demon
strated capably their ability. This
-last-named boy probably will get the
job on the 135-pound team, If one is
organized.
Prominent among the candidates for
the other backfield places are Wilton,
Lamberton and Buckley. These boys
are sizable and speedy. Capt. Neil
son Jones, who was used at tackle last
year, is also being tried in the back
field, but he likely will be found at
an end position when the competitive
campaign opens. Imley, the big 200
FOUNDER, who has set record for in
juries, is another backfeld aspirant
who probably will be sent into the
line.
For the tanks, Central has Lemon
last years all-high end, Nettekoven, a
big freshman; Davis, the base bal
star, and Mikesell. substitute in
1919. King, veteran center, is again
on the job and is being understudieo
by Banville, who was used some last
season. Eddie Jones and Littell, mem
bers of last years first team, again
are in line for tackle or guard jobs
Others trying for these places include
Duffy, the husky boy who has been
transferred from Western; Roberts
Wright and Barrett. All of these
candidates are well over 100 pounds
in weight and know something OF
the game.
