H0R," cried the Twins to Mr.. Rib
~ bon Fish I'VE thought you
were the end of the rainbow"
"IIumph" exclaimed Mr. Ribbon
Fish, wriggling his beautifully col
ored but ever-so-thin body in sur
prise. And why were you following
me just because you thought that l
was the end of the rainbow"
I'VE want the bag Of gold that
the gnomes stole from the Fairy
Queen, answered Nick, "and they
are known to have buried it where
the rainbow ends. One end came
down into the sea and we thought
wou were it,"
Cold" said the Ribbon Fish
thoughtfuIly. And you say it was
in a bag. I do believe / can help
you. Only this morning l saw d
sack lying around somewhere, and
it looked awfuIly full Of something.
Let me see. Where was it? Oh,
yes, now | remember. 1t was away
out in the ocean where the side of
an island slants down into the wa
ter. Come along and I'll show you"

SO off they all started. Pretty
soon they came to a slanty place,
deep, deep under the sea, and sure
enough, there lay a sack proppcd
against a smooth stone, and looking
as the Roman Fish said, most aw-
fully full Of something,
"Ho, ho" cried out Nick This
certainly looks like the Fairy
Queens bag of gold, Mr.. Fish. Only
| done see any rainbow"
ooh, as for that" said the fish
making a ,lasso out of his long tail
and then untying it again, you only
see a rainbow when it's wet"
Nobody thought that he'd said
anything queer.
"I'll take one end and you take
the other, Nancy" said Nick, ''and
Wen take the bag of gold to the
Fairy Queen at once"
But 10 and behold, wasn't the sack
swimming away as hard as it, could
go. 1t had unfolded a most beautiful
pair of swimming fins.

NAVY'S SPRINTERS
WIN MEDLEY RELAY

ANNAPOLIS. Md. April 20. -
Navy's sprinters and distance run
ners were victors in the triangular
medley relay race on the cinder
path at the Naval Academy this af-
ternoon. Delaware College and
Johns Hopkins were the other COM
peting institutions and their repre-
sentatives finished in the order
named.
The meet was spectacular by rea-
son Of the fact that each of the
contenders had a lead at one stage
or another, Navy however, finally
getting a decisive margin in the
mile run, which marked the finish.
The race started with the 220-yard
dash, which Pitman, Delaware's
star. won over Doak. Navy, by 5
yards, and Clarke. Hopkins, was
second. In the 440-yard dash which
followed, the finish was close be-
tween Mckee. Navy; Foreacre. Della
ware. and Edwards, Hopkins. In
the half-mile Moncewicz picked up
considerably for Navy over Harmer.
Delaware. and Somerville, Hopkins,
thus giving Curtis a good margin
for the long mile grind. The Navy
star easily out-ran Booth, Della
ware. and Mullikin. Hopkins, fin-
ishing a quarter, and half a lap
respectively over his two contend
ers. The time was 7:46.

BALTIMORE. Nd, April 2o.-The
real thrill of the glorious opening
of Baltimore's baseball season at
oriole Park yesterday afternoon,
with the Birds winning. 9 to /.
and with over 1900 fans-a record
for the local club in the Interna-
tional League-packed around the
field, was when Bill Holden came
to the bat in the sixth inning with
Maisel. Lawry and jacobson on
bases, and greeted Refs. a young
side arm pitcher who was selected

homer over the left field fence

solid compact, the crowd rose with

the runs were vital factors in start
ing Jack IDunn's men off with a
win on their dash for their third
consecutive pennant.
1t was a perfect opening in all
save one respect-Big Jack Bentley,
on the rubber for Baltimore. showed
such battling speed and such baf-
fling curves, that the Leafs never
had a Iook-in, and the contest soon
developed into a walkaway. The
ease of the victory robbed it of its
glamour. The foe was woefully
weak in the face Of mastery hurl-
ing by Bentley and after the home
boys had gathered a run in the
first. and had added two in the
fourth and two in the fifth, the
game was no longer a battle.
-Four hits. scattered through as
many innings, was all the damage
the Canucks could do to Jacks
southpaw slants. On the other hand
the Orioles showed consistent
crashing attack that swept runs
over the plate and took the fight
out of the visitors.

EASTERN SWAMPED
AFTER GOOD START
Tech Gets TO Moran, and Over.
comes Three-Run Lead
To Win, IS to 4.

After a suspicious start, Eastern
was slaughtered by Tech yesterday
at the stadium in a championship
game by the score of IL to 4.
Moran, of Eastern. cracked in the
fifth inning and lost his effective
ness for the rest of the game.
Tech got to him for fifteen hits.
The Fasteners got a three-run
lead in the second frame when
Roudabush came to bat with two
men on the sacks and slammed one
over the centerfielder's head for the
circuit. This looked to be the be-
ginning of a defeat for Tech, a.
Moran was going pretty strong
against the Maroon and Gray bat
ters.
Nevertheless Tech was able TO
put their fist two markers over in
the next inning with the aid of the
Eastern battery. Moran plunked
Brayton, and Guerriere dropped a
ball which paved the way for the
runs. which were scored on a field
er's choice and an infield out. From
then on Coach Apples men looked
dangerous. In the fourth they
were helped by Moran again, when
he threw the sphere to left field
attempting to get Jameson at third
and let that player cross the plate.
1t was in the fifth round that the
Manuel Trainers uncorked their
of "Jumbo's" offer
ings. Four clean singles and a cir
cuit smash accounted for four runs
in this inning. Shanks was on
ahead of Murray. when the latter
crashed one to center for four bases.
Four more singles and a triple
pushed over another quartet OF
tallies in the sixth, Parella's three
sacker sending in two of them. He
was called out at the plate on a
great relay from Hardy. 10 Rouda-
bush, to Gould, to Guerriere. The
final Tech scores were garnered In
the seventh, when a single. an error
and Reily's double over the wall
added two runs.
Brayton, the Tech slabber, broke
his own record Of strikeouts, which
stood at IA. by 1 more. He turned
the trick in the ninth by tanning
two. This boy may yet trouble

COLLEGE PARK. Nd. April co
Catholic University eked out a g.

plenty OF hitting and performed

twelve hits to eleven for the Catho-

GRIFFMEN NOTES

Zachary registered his first win of
the season yesterday and Rommel
got credit for his second defeat of
the series.
Both Lewis and Walker had trou-
BILE with the sun in the early rounds.
Duffy losing an easy fly just as lie
got under it. He ducked his head
to keep from being beaned and
Walker got credit for a three -sacker.
One hit was the best Sam Harris
could do Yesterday, but he was soak
ing the ball hard on every occasion.
Walker robbed him of one hit and
BRAZIL duplicated when he speared
his line drive headed for right field.
Connie Mack used eight pitchers
in the three games with the Griffs
and none of them had the stuff to
stop McBride's sluggers. Consider
ing the fact that the AS beavers are
no slouches, this speaks well for the
battle of the locals.
The first contingent of school kids
who will see games free through the
courtesy of President Griffith sat in
the pavilion and raised cain.
Shanks is still hitting at a lively
clip, being just under the 800 mark.
He handled everything that came
his way yesterday in fine style.
O'Rourke was having trouble
in getting them over for the first
time this season. Two of his pegs
drew Judge of the sack.
Leaving last night for Boston, the
Griffs and the Red Sox will open
their season at home today. Walter
Johnson may start against Hugh
Duffy's men.
Reserved seats on top Of the
house built against the center field
wall are going begging after a few
days. The signboard Is being ex-
tended and will shut OF the entire
view, robbing the owner of the
goodly sum at 10 cents per head.
Triples seem to be Gharrity's long
suit. Yesterdays was his third.
