BOXING MAKES HIT
WITH HOSPITAL MEN

Boxing exhibitions will probably
become a regular part of the recre-
ational program of the army at Wal
ter Reed Hospital. judging by the
success that attended the elimina-
tion bouts for the Third Corps
Aero tournament last Wednesday
night in the Red Cross House. Ac-
commodations had been made for
1,1OO patients, detachment men and
other members Of the personnel on
the post. So great was the crowd
that the doors were locked to the
building before the first of the eight
contests started.
There were probably twenty-five
women present when the bouts be-
gan, among them being Mrs. Fred
erick Gebhard, widow of the Well
known New York clubman. who re-
Gently returned from Paris, where
she had witnessed several boxing
tournaments conducted for the boy
over there. There was no doubt o
the beneficial effect it had upon the
patients. the innovation being a
most welcome one. 1t was the first
time that boxing had taken place in
the Red Cross House.
As for the fights themselves, they
lacked nothing but science, which
made It all the more interesting to
the khaki wearers when caution
was thrown to the winds in wild
swings and wilder slugging. Claret
flowed freely and the tired condi-
ton Of practically all ri the boxers
after a round Of work kept the vet
Grams outside the ring in roars Of
laughter It was a big night for
the wounded men and they have
placed themselves on record as en-

Six basketball games. three of
them championship contests, are
listed on the high school cage card
for the coming week. Central plays
Tech Tuesday in the Coliseum. upon
the result Of which the lead n the
school title series will again hinge
at least temporarily. A defeat At
the hands OF the Blue and White
tossers will practically put Coach
Apples proteEes out Of the running
and barring accidents would give
the championship to Western.
Western meets Eastern and Bust
ness hooks up with Central in the
other title games OF the week
These two games will be staged as
double-header at the Coliseum
Friday.
The StenoErsphers' excellent
showing against Eastern last Fri
day should give them the edge
over the Blue and White tosssrs.
while Eastern's ragged and indif-
ferent playing in their last effort
means that unless they buck UP and
hit their early season stride again
the Westerners should have an easy
time in anneNinE another victory
According TO the dope the three
title games this week will have Iit-
tie bearing on the awarding Of the
championship. as Tech. barring ar-
cidents, should win from the Mount
Pleasant lads and Western should
have as easy q time with Eastern.
In the other three games ~ rho
week Central will hook UP with
Army and Navy PrePs; Eastern wi.
battle the Georgetown Prep outfit.
and Business will again hook up
with GonE4Ea.

MD. Up BASEBALL
PROSPECTS. BRIGHT,
WORK STARTS SOON
Vic .Keene, Star Pitcher,
Recovered From Last
Years Injury.

Baseball is in the air at the Uni
versity Of Maryland and although
Coach CurIey Byrd has not yet is
sued any formal call for battery
men to start work 1t is expected
that washington's Birthday will find
prospective pitchers and catcherS
'Iobbing" them around. Outdoor
work is expected to get under way,
weather permitting, a couple or
weeks later. According to the
present outlook the College Parkers
will have a formidable pitching
stafr. Viv Keene, Maryland's ace
for the last couple of seasons, who
suffered a broken leg in the second
series of games with Georgetown
last season. is expected to be able
to perform on the slab. Nesbit, star
left tackle of last years eleven and
a pitcher who displayed consider
able strength last season. will again
be on the Job. Tom" Holder, who
also performed several times for
Byrd's tossers last year, is ex-
pected to be on hand.
Byrd's Brother Candidate.
Others who are expected to try
for places on the staff include
Miles Byrd, a brother of Coach
Byrd, a youth who serves 'em up
from the portside and who is said
to have performed cleverly in East
ern Shore scholastic circles: Strake,
also a lefthander who hurled for
Freshman nine last season, and
Monk, who halls from North Caro-
lima.
In the catching department
"Zeke" Bailey, husky mainstay or
the receiving department for the
past two campaigns, will in all
probability do the bulk of the work.
Pete" Groton, who has caught a
number of games for Maryland in
the last few years, will again be on
the fob. Lem" Clark. a product of
Briarley Hall Military Academy,
Montgomery County, Nd, will be
an aspirant for catching honors.
Worry Over InfeId.
1t looks at present as though the
infield will be the department which
will cause Coach Byrd the most
worry. Only one member of last
years varsity, Johnnie Eisemann,
former Washington Tech High star,
who played second last season, will
be available. 'Tody" Riggs, LAST
years captain and brilliant short
stop, has been lost through gradua-
tion. as have also Bob" and Stew
art Knode, who held down first and
third base, respectively. Wood, who
played shortstop last season for
North Carolina State. however, is In
college and may land the shortfield
job Pollard, last years freshman
first sacker, is expected to prove q
sturdy candidate for this position on
the varsity. Lyons, a medical stu
dent of the university, and Johnny
Moran. who has broken into the
lineup for Maryland on a number
Of occasions the last couple OF
years, are others mentioned as as
pirants for infield berths,
Paganucci and 'SnitZ" Snyder are
outfielders OF last seasons nine
who are back. BILLY" Barran,
speedy hychaser last year. will not
return. Little is known as to
Jther probable candidates for out
field jobs. Maryland has arranged
a schedule OF some twenty-five
games. the majority OF which will
be played at College Park or in
Washington.
