Mr. Pullman's hotel were over for
a while anyway. As the boys have

AT NAVAL ACADEMY

Annapolis, Nd April 12.-Spring

Folwell, the newly selected coach.

the University of Pennsylvania last

District College
Clubs viii Meet
In Many Battles

Followers of collegiate baseball
will be furnished with plenty of
action this week. as all the local
colleges-Georgetown. Catholic Uni
versity, Maryland State, George
Washington University and Gallau-
det-are scheduled to play.
Maryland State will open the ac-
tivities in a battle with the Wash
ington College team today, on the
Maryland State Field. The visitors
will then journey to Georgetown to
meet the Blue and Gray outfit Wed
nesday.
Gallaudct will travel to ANNAPOLIS.
Nd, to engage the St Johns nine
tomorrow.
Catholic University will be the
first team to meet a Northern nine
this week, when they take the field
against Tufts on Thursday.
Maryland will be the second local
college in line to meet the Northern
ers. This contest, which will be
played on Friday. will be watched
with vast interest, as the Staters
are rated as one of the fastest COM
binations in local college ranks this
season. On their Southern trip the
Staters encountered many of the
strong teams in Dixie over which
Coach Byrd's nine annexed victories.
On the other hand, Tufts is coming
here with the reputation as being
sweet ball club. and they may
prove a formidable opponent during
the engagement with Maryland
State.
Saturday will be the busiest day
of the week. as three colleges will
be performing. Georgetown against
Tufts. Catholic University with
Maryland. while Gallaudet will
meet Briarley Hall. at Poolsville,
Md.
No doubt the Maryland State and
Catholic University set-to will at
! tract more interest than the State
Tufts game. as Georgetown at the
outset of the season suffered their
first defeat at the hands of the farm
ers, and many are anxious to see
! what sort of a battle the Red and
Black and State will put up.

the work of enemy seconds. When
the fight was about at the half
way mark. a fine drizzle set in and
the atmosphere became damp and
cold.
Crosby knocked Out.
Standing in the mud, the crowd
watched the tide of battle sway
this way and that. Many becoming
tired of the prolonged combat, ac-
tually walked to the village of
Nameski, where they bought out the
one store located there. Crackers,
cheese and sardines were brought
back to the ringside, and the Sec
onds, while Sharpe and Crosby bat
tered each other, grabbed a snack
to eat and washed it down with
some general store fire water.
For the last twenty-five rounds
It was either mans fight After
more than five hours OF brutal fisti-
cutting Crosby was knocked cold.
The principals were carried to the
train, which had been backed on a
siding. Except for the fact that
the crowd knew the seconds they
could not have told the gladiators
apart"
nelson
Battling Nelson was supposed to
represent the most durable piece of
fistic machinery ever. Ad. Wolgast,
employing Nelson's own tacics of
rush and slug, actually outlasted
the Dane in a brutal forty-round
encounter.
Stanley Ketchel, one Of the
greatest of middle-weights, found
no trouble in defeating clever op-
ponents with his rough-house style
of warfare. He twice Knocked out
Jack O'Brien, one of the most
skilled heavies. The only time
ketch was dropped by man of his
own size happened when he met
Papke the second time The Spring
Valley Thunderbolt, roughster
like himself, put Stanley down in
the twelfth after give-and-take
struggle.
Wolgast was whipped by Willie
Ritchie, another plain fighting type.
Walsh. the boxer with an opposite
style, won a questionable verdict
over Ritchie in London. Bennie
Leonard, as clever as Walsh with a
punch to boot. outboxed Freddie
and then snatched his title away
with a Knockout punch.

Mike Uraine to
Face Smith in
Ardmore Feature

One OF the most attractive cards
ever offered the fighting fans will
be on tap tonight at the Ardmore
night club. when Promoter Kid
Sullivan will send some Of the
classiest NIT mixers In the ring for
six different turns Four OF the
bouts are scheduled for six ses-
sions each and two are slated for
four.
Two Of the six-round battles are
holding an equal amount OF inter
est As in the past 1t was gem
the limelight-
Mike Uraine's setto with Sailor
Jack Smith is recognized by many
as the feature of the Ardmore
show, but there Is no doubt that
the Patsy Donovan-Jack Burke bat
tie is waited with more anticipa-
tion than the former.
In Patsy Donovan, Washfngton's
clever little hy-weight. IL is night
from beginning to end and the
wallop the kid is said to carry has
given many of his opponents a
great deal of worry. When Kid
Burke. one Of Baltimore's corners.
steps into the ring against the
speedy little Washfngtonian he will
be forced to extend himself to the
utmost to best Washington's pride.
Uraine Going Good.
Mike Uraine. washington's fight
ing cop. who has performed in the
square ring for a few years. will
be making his first appearance be-
fore the fans in many months
Uraine, has always given the lovers
of the fistic game all he had in
him. and his host Of friends who
have seen him in action against
some of the country's best will ex-
pect Mike to show a brand of fight
ing above the ordinary.
Sailor Jack Smith. is practically
a new conner at Ardmore. In fact,
this is his first appearances In
Maryland, but what he showed the
Baltimore fight fans in a bout with
Jack Harrington, a few weeks ago
has convinced many that the sailor
is q rugged fighter. who is willing
to mix it, and is dangerous.
Ray W. DALEY.
Johnny Ray, another Washington
boy. will meet Johny Daley, of
Baltimore. Both of these lads show
in the feather-weighr class and will
work over q s-round route. provid-
ing the sleeping wallop does not
interfere
Kid Shuman, a Walter Reed light
weight. will box French Rodut,
also Of Walter Reed. This milling
is scheduled to go for six rounds.
In another 6-round go, John L.
Smith will meet Eddie Moran, a
New York fighter. who Is said to
be climbing at . fast rate.
Ffrst-class transportation facfli-
ties have been arranged for by Man
ager Kid Sullivan He expects to
have trains enough to permit the
fans to travel comfortably. Start
ing the show on time is another
thing which Manager Sullivan will
see carried out With fast fighting,
the fans should see these thirty
four rounds and be back in town
by midnight

These start the season as the main
gate attractions, with Ruth leading
the pack. The big slugger will re-
main the leader as long as he can
propel the ball out of the park II
his home run propensities die out,
he will be only a fair card.
There are other lesser cards, such
as Carl Mays, of the Yankees: Ci-
cote and Weaver. OF the White
Sox; Groh and Eller. Of the Reds:
Scott Perry. Of the Athletics; Peck
inpaugh, of the Yankees: Jim
Vaughn and Hollocher, of the Cubs,
and others, who are stars. but not
quite starry enough to be listed as
individual coin collectors via tho
turnstiles.
1t will be interesting to follow the
fortunes of those named in the first
list to see how many survive the
test through September. Cobb.
Speaker, Johnson. Alexander and
Collins are no longer youngsters.
But so far none of the five mas
shown any outstanding tendency to
slip.
The Reds have a tremendous af-
fair on their hands in the National
League with four strong opponents
to keep down. But they are much
better off than the White Sox. who
are given only an outside chance TO
repeat.
In the peppery interim reenters
our old side kick" sometimes bet
ter known as The Standing of the
Clubs after all, this is where the
ultimate rebuttal rests.

Baseball has long been a favorits
