NORFOLK ALL-STARS
MEET ASBURY BROWNS

Local fans will be given a chance
this afternoon to witness a good
game when the Norfolk All-Stars
battle the Asbury Browns in Union
League Park at p. m. The Nor
folk Stars are ranked as one of
the fastest colored aggregations in
the country, as last season they
were just nosed out for the cham
pionshfp in a nine-game series with
the Baccarac Giants of Atlantic
City. They successfully defeated
such well-known clubs as the Gu
ban Giants. Royal Giants and
Bronx Giants in series. of games.
The Asbury Giants won the local
colored championship last season
and are confident Of giving the
visiting professional outfit a bat
tie for laurels. Manager 'Chappy"
Johnston Of the Virginians claims
his club is the highest -salaried
colored team on the road, and be-
lieves the local fans will be pleased
with the makeup of his club when
they give them the once-over.

Weather Hinders
Golfng Progress
OfLocal Players

Although as a general PROPOSE
ton the weather in Washington
lately has not been too cold for
golf. yet it has been SO uncertain
that few of the local players have
gotten in enough rounds to bring
them anywhere near their normal
game. II this condition continues.
the 1890 golf season will find prac-
tically all of the local players very
much off their game.
In less than a month the season
will be under way. as the first
event has been announced by the
Washington Golf and Country Club
for May 6. and 8. From then on
local players will be extremely busy
as there will be a tournament al
most every week until about the
middle of June. either here or under
auspices of clubs of nearby cities.
From present indications, unless
local players are able to get out
with more frequency. a much lower
standard of golf will be shown in
the opening tourney this year than
has usually been the case. The
game is full of upsets. however,
and it may be that they will round
into form quicker than is antici-
pated.
Aside from the above. local play
ers do not appear to be showing
the usual preseason interest in the
game. but their enthusiasm will no
doubt become manifest as soon as
they get out on the course a time
or two and get in few good
ticks"

Stake Race Will
Be Great Tryout
For ; Year OHs

Havre de Grace. April 1.-THE
first great tryout of the 3-year-olds
Of the season of 1920 will be staged
here next Saturday by the Hartford
Agricultural and Breeders Associa-
ton when the $1,000 Chesapeake
stakes is run. A condition affair
of one mile and seventy yards the
Chesapeake has attracted practi-
cally every first-rate 3-year-old
training in the East for the $4,000
Preakness stakes and the Kentucky
Derby. and 1t is reasonably certain
that eight to ten of these promis-
ing colts and fillies will get to the
post. Trainers everywhere appre-
ciate the necessity of getting real
racing in 3-year-olds of the first
class that are preparing for such
hard races as the Preakness and
the Kentucky Derby always prove
to be. and it rarely happens that
the chance of starting in a pre-
paratory race that will pay $4,000
in added money offers.

5RFFS In OVERTIME GAME-VIRGNIA TRACKEN BEAT NAVY
GrJg VII Soon Step Out As
Manager for Prexy,s Chair

Well another season has started
and some clubs are hearing sweet
plaudits and others already are
getting the razz. tI Is pretty early
to talk about changing managers,
but this is absolutely a straight
tip: there will be q change in the
management Of the washington
Club within q few weeks.
George Mcbride. veteran infielder
with the Senators. is slated TO step
into Griff-s shoes IN a very short
time.
But folks. the fans didn't bring
that about. II was all Grifrs de-
cision. He is president of tr.
washington team now and IL has
been his intention right along 70
name Mcbride manager as soon a,
the 1890 team was whipped into
shape and the Nationals were well
on In the pennsnt race.
Griff now will stick TO the "cit,-
and attend the functions of a bIR
league .prexy as befits the once.
II took some argument at that
to get Grin set for the camera
man. He was plenty used 70 being
snapped in baseball regalia- But
when the photographed wanted 70
get him In street toys Grin arRued
about Il. And he wouldn't consent
TO having his picture taken with
those large horn trimmed glasses on
at all No. sir. He wants 70 looE
as young as possible and he doesn't
think glasses-even though Epor-
tNely horny Of rim-regfster youth
And now that he is about 70 be
president and hang up his old uni
form, well have to look into III.
FAMILY Bible and see what his fun
name Is. IL is Clarke Calvin Gift
mn. and he was born November 20,
1868, at Nsvada. Mo. He has hsd
considerable baseball experience-
both as player and manager, ana
we won't go into details here.
As president of the club, he al
ready has had some experience, ana
pleasing ones, too. He has found
out that the Washington fans are
real fans, IL they're given a square
deal, and he has reason to believe
that with new ownership and new
policies there are going TO be many
parks full this season. Then they'll
quit talking about moving the
Washington club to Toronto, Indi-
annapolis or somewhere else.
The fans know George Mcbride,
too. He's been at il for some time
Breaking into life's game at Mil
waukee. November 81. 1881. he has
played ball most OF the time since
that date. He has retired as a reg
ular. but he has been Griffs first
lieutenant for some time. And now
he'll be a full-fledged playing man
ager.
The change may come in a few
days. or IL may be a few weeks, but
il won't be long.
The fans are wishing Griff lots
OF success as owner and president
and the same goes for George Nc
Bride in his new job.
