For some three weeks how Wash

at home. win have the advantage over
the travelling White Sox and Indians.
1t Is generally felt everywhere around
the circuit that the White Sox are
better than the Indians but Gleason's
club will have TO prove IL against
the toughest kind OF opposition. They
won't be given anything for nothing.
The irst of the several spurts sure
to be made by flag contenders Is due
to begin now. II is admitted that
Philadelphia. Detroit and st. Louis
are not in the running. but any one Of

If Clark Griffith had had that union
band working yesterday up to tn"
seventh inning, when the Founders
and blowers lay down their tools and
disappear. they would have hustleo
hard on the Dead March in saul" and
Chopin's "Marche Funebre." They
would have had plenty of suggestion.
As though arising from the dead,
the Yankees rose in their might and
slaughtered the Griffs, handing them
their first shut-out OF the 1920 cam
paign to the tune OF II to 0. Rubbing

the fifth inning, everybody coming to

Among those occupying space in
the pest box was one Earle Dorsey,
who delves in dramatics during the
winter. Earle is cheerful cuss.
We've seen him smile at joke pro-

breaking the high school mile record
in going the distance in 5:i5. Pre-
vious to this he ran the winning mile
at Tome I'm 1870.
The Tech athlete is somewhat un-
dersized. He has running form
peculiarly his own, and possesses a
"kick" at the finish that has carried
him in ahead OF his competitors. Gross
runs a heady race throughout. no

BILLY LUSH QUITS

Billy Lush. the most successful
baseball and basketball coach ever

Naval Academy. has resigned. n!

Under Lush. who was once a major

defeated the Army, and his basket

There was a scarcity OF good back
