Class Day Exercises


Friday evening was set apart
for the usual program given by
the graduates and held in the high
school auditorium. At eight o.
clock the room was filled to ca
pacity.
Suddenly the lights were snap
ped off and only remained a
glowing red light among a back
ground of evergreens, casting it's
rays over a gypsy camp with the
ceremonial cauldron and gypsv
seeresses, maids and men. A
bright song from one opened the
entertainment and interspersed
with sage advice and future
prophecies the following numbers
were given -
Salutatory-Ethyle Ulrich
History-Margaret Lutz and
Bernice Evans.
Will-Bernard Holcomb.
Poem--Ray Alexander.
Valedictory-Pauline Fead.
The class Of twenty was repre-.
sented about the gypsy camp and
the unique and pretty idea of the
whole scheme was delightful and
the evening was a pronounced
success.

NEW YORK PLAYERS
THREATENASTR|KE
As Result Some of Them, In
GLIDING Pratt, May Be Sold
Or Traded.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. March 30
AS a result of a threatened strike
on the part of some of the New York
Yankees. who demanded more money
as their share of the worlds series
melon, several may be sold or traded.
Derrill Pratt, Bob Shawkey and
Roger Peckinpaugh, acting com
mittee for the players. voiced the de-
mand to Colonel Rupert and Lieu
tenant Colonel Huston, who will
make their formal answer tomorrow.
1t is generally thought that Pratts
days as a Yankee are ended.
The Yankees received $4,000 from
the worlds series profits. This was
divided among the players. some of
whom now say they should have re-
ceived $40 apiece more. The commit
tee wanted an immediate answer from
the Yankee magnates.
In effect, Rupert and Huston told
them II was against custom to dis
cuss such a matter with players In
stead of the manager, but that they
would announce their decision Wed
nesday.
Pratt was said to have retorted
that that would not be satisfactory
and that an immediate decision was
wanted. The owners were adamant
and the committee consulted with
the other players. during which the
ACCESSIBILITY of striking and refusing
to cross bats with the Reds was dis
cussed.
But Colonies Rupert and Huston
did not recede in the face of a threat
to strike, and the men hustled to the
field and won good game.

Blue AND GRAY ANOTHER

Georgetown dropped a thirteen In
ming affair with the University of YER
mont on the Hilltop that was another
heartbreaker yesterday. Last week
the Georgetown lads caused heart
failure on the diamond by heaving
the Maryland State game away.
Yesterday they duplicated the per-
formance after going thirteen frames
Vermont got four runs at the start
A double, sacrifice, Reynolds wild
heave. errors by Coughlin and Fees
and three stolen bases which included
n double steal and home plate counted
four for the Vermonters.
The Hilltoppers got one across in
tho opener Girhooley's triple, a hot
batsman, and Jackie Maloney's homer
tied the count for the Georgetown
team in the eighth.
In the thirteenth Harris doubled
and with no chance to get the
runner Dooley heaved wild. George
town made ten errors but presented
some first class hurting with Rey-
nolds and Hyman performing. The
box work OF Dubs- OF Vermont was
good.

IRV BELTS BREWERS

Irv Belts Brewers climbed all over
Joe Dowling's Minions for three wins
in The Washington Times Bowling
League. rolling at Shermans yester-
day afternoon. These victories, cou-
pied with two for the fighting Agates
over the staggering Diamonds,
brought the Brewers up a peg in the
pennant race.
Battling" Malcolm. of the Bre-
viers, rolled a flat game of 95, the
high mark for the league. "Spud''
McAlwee, of the Agates, brought his
total for strikes up to IL, while "Cy''

The high single string for the day
was the Brewers 49S, the Agates fol-

save his life. His ring days are
done.
Makes His Third Visit.
Charlie Ledoux, the European ban
tam champion, is to make his third
visit to America in a few weeks,
joining Carpenters party. Eight
years ago, when Carpenter was
mere STRIPPING and boxing in the
bantamweight class, Ledoux and the
present challenger of Dempsey were
rivals for the bantam title. Carpen-
tier won the championship by a de-
cision in fifteen rounds, his clever
ness being too much for Ledoux.
Ledoux met all the French bantams
in the game and then tackled some
of the Britishers, knocking out Joey
Bowker in ten rounds and then flat
tening the British champion, Digger
Stanley. His victory over Stanley
brought him to the attention of Amer
lean promoters who brought him
over here in 1912.
The little Frenchman got a trial
against Battling Reddy. a fourth
rater. and then tackled frankie Con-
way and Kid Williams, both of whom
shaded him. His failure to do better
caused him to return to France, sat
| isfied that he lacked the necessary
classs,o win on this side.
NJ Comes Back Tor More.
Le!Sux proceeded to knock out his
felLaV countrymen and again got the
ide1N that he had a chance to win
the title, which was then held by
Johnny Coulon. of Chicago. SO Le-
doux came back for more. He found
Coulon exceedingly wary and. unable
to obtain a match with him, took on
Eddie Csmpi.
The little Californian proved too
much for Ledoux and received a de-
cision over him after twenty rounds
Of fine boxing. Campi was killed in
hunting accident in the California
mountains two years ago..
Ledoux still believed he had .
chance at the title and took on Kid
Williams, the Baltimore boxer. They
had boxed six rounds without a de-
| cision the year before, but in 1918
Williams knocked out the French
man after fifteen rounds Of tough
milling.
Though he Is now the European
champion, there Is no reason to be-
lieve that Lcdoux can handle the big
flock OF bantams in this country,
sucn as fal moore, frankie Mason,
Patsy Wallace, Jack Sharkey, or Babe
Usher. to name some of the top
liners.
STOPPED Jew DriscsIL.
The most startling thing Ledoux
has done since the close OF the war
was his stopping OF Jem Driscoll,
Britain's undefeated (till them ban
tam champion. Nevertheless, even in
that contest. Drlscoll, close on his
! fortieth year. was all over the
Frenchman until the seventeenth
round when his legs went back on
him and his seconds tossed up the
sponge. Ledoux gets the credit of n
knockout, but age was the real win
ner.
George Papin, the French light
weight champion. Is expected to come
over with LedouN, but few on, this
side believe Papin has a look-in with
the big crowd OF lightweights in
American rings. or course, efforts
will be made to match the French
man with Benny Leonard, worlds
champion, but the latter IL making

boxing. brought De Ponthieu across
the water in 1912. The invader met
such ,ughtweights as Young Shugrue,
Matty Baldwin, Young Dyson. the
New Bedford southpaw, and Johnny
Griffiths. De Ponthieu, coached and
trained by Erne, seemed to improve
for a while. but then he stopped AL
together and returned to France.
Erne said afterward that he was
merely a mechanical boxer and lacked
the stuff in his head that would
make him a champion.
When the war came, De Ponthieu
entered the French army, but re-
turned to the ring with the armistice
and won the French championship.

Bonus For Blue If He
Didn't Sleep

Lew Blue, holdout first base
man of the Portland Pacific
Coast League club, made so
many propositions for bonuses,
etc, in his contract that Presi-
dent McCredie of the club
finally began to take Blue as
something of joke, so he made
counter proposals. One of them
was: That a certain bonus
would be paid Blue at the end of
the season if he was not caught
off first base more than ten
times in the season.
The proposal caused quite a
laugh among Portland fans, for
they do say that Blues maps
were many and often costly.

YANKEES AND RED SOX
MAY ENGINEER A TRADE

MOBILE, Ala. March 3o-Unless
all signs fail, a big trade is about
to be engineered by Ed Barrow, man
ager of the Boston Red Sox, with
the New York Yankees. Del Pratt,
second baseman. and Ping Bodie, out
fielders, are expected to be traded to
Boston for Oscar Witt, third sacker,
and Wally Schang, catcher.
The Red Sox are in sore need OF a
second baseman. The Yankees need
a third baseman. Eddie Foster is
playing good ball at third for the
Red Sox, but Witt Is a holdout.
Ping Bodie has jumped the Yankees.
who need a catcher more than they
do on outfielder. Schang Is a Red
Sox holdout, but he might play with
the Yankees.
This deal Is expected to go through
before the season opens on April IA.

feels that IL he'ca get amateur base

Amateurs To Meet.
April 6 then is the date set for the
amateur meeting at the New Ebbitt.
It is expected that at least six
leagues will respond. A new deal is
expected and a return to pre-war
sandlot baseball is looked for.
Amateur baseball Is expected to
thrive this summer. In the league as
well as independent contests the sand
letters are unusually busy. Young
sters as well as old timers are feeling
the call of the horsehide and are max
ing tracks for the diamond.
With six leagues in the process Of
schedule making and at least three
others ready to start things going
aff1liation with some sort of govern
ing body is necessary.
Bob Young hassserved many years
in the interests Of amateur baseball
here. He is looking for a chance to
turn the matter over to some one else.
II the sandlotters can be organized
successfully and a new slate OF Off
GERS elected tho present association
head will be more than pleased.
ONCE Not Authorized
The formation of an American base

out authorization. There was no
authority in selecting my name to
head any American baseball fedora

Washington is not affiliated with the
organization and as far as we are
concerned has no intention of taking

we know what we are doing"
Will Invite Leagues.
Amateur leagues will be invited TO
attend the first annual meeting. 1t
Is expected that q healthy response
will be given the bid to start sandlot
baseball as in former years.
The fact that many crack players
are to be out OF town playing pro-
fessional baseball this summer leaves
room for the formation Of many first
class teams well balanced in every
way.
There are more than nifty indepen-
dent teams already in action with
unusually good prospects. From the
applications for permits for the Poto-
mac Park diamonds in the Office Of
Public Buildings and Grounds II
would seem that the various teams
are to be on the move from sunup to
