M'LEAN'S STABLE
!. WILL co TO BOWIE
Leochares Is Nearly Ready to
Leave Benning for Prince
Georges Park.

Leochares, who in November. 1916.
while he was still a gingery six-year-
old, established the Prince Georges
Park record of 1:41 for one mile that
still stands, bids fair as an eleven
year-oid to be one OF the most for
midable horses of any age of the
Prince Georges Park spring meeting
of 1921.
Leochares earned a matter of $13, 900
in stakes and purses last season and
he was a winner at Bowie last fall
He wintered at Bennings course with
the other thoroughbreds OF the stable
of Edward Beale Mclean, of Wash
ington, and he is very nearly. II not
quite, the most forward racing pros
pect at Bennings this spring.
That Leochares will be ready for
the colors next week is a certainty
He will be one of strong string
John Schorr will race for Mr.. Nc
Lean in Maryland in April and May
and in Kentucky in May, June, and
July.
Jimmie Butwell. leading American
rider of the season of 1920, and one OF
the stars of the Havana winter meet
ing, will ride for the Mclean stable
this season. ButwvIl is now at Ben
nings exercising horses for all
comerS.
+ 1t is not likely that The Porter will
race at Bowie, although that stout
son of Sweep and Ballet Girl won
over the Prince Georges track as n
two-year-old., The Porter has a leg
under suspicion. Schorr undoubtedly
will give him lot of time.
The horses likely to race with Lea
chares over the southern Maryland
course through the first fortnight of
April are Charlie SUNNY. The Bag
gage, Siren Maid, Lough Storm,
Tough Swilly, Lough Eagle, Pretty
Peggy, a chestnut daughter OF Light
Brigade. that did not race last sea-
son; Lough Fire and Lough Red. All
of these "Lough" horses are"- home
bred sons and daughters OF Lough
Foyle, an imported stallion Mr.. Nc
Lean is exploiting at his Belmont
plantation stud. which is in Loudoun
county, Virginia.

BIG SEASON READY
IN POTOMAC PARK
All Athletic Fields and Recrea-
ton Facilities Expected to
Be Fully Taxed.

Here's a gentle tip to those inter.
ested in Potomac Park athletic &C
tivities.
The biggest season ever in Wash.
ington in sports is expect ed in Po-
tomac Park this year. All twelve
baseball diamonds, the soccer field
the tennis courts, the short and long
golf course and even the sylvan thea.
ter are expected to be pushed to ca
pacity.
Indications point to a banner year
Those interested in obtaining the IA
cilities for the various athletic facili.
ties will be materially aided in writ.
ing the office of Public Buildings and
Grounds for permission to obtain dia
monds, play tennis or soccer,
Within the next two weeks facili-
ties for outdoor track practice will
be added at the foot of Seventeenth
street northwest. The annual Police
Department meet will be held this
year and the bluecoats are going to
be afforded an excellent chance to
get action.
The municipal bathing pool and the
Tidal Basin Bathing Beach will not
open up for some time yet but 1t is
expected that both places will be run
ming at full capacity later on in the
year.
Potomac Park has been called the
greatest playground in the world and
from early Indications 1t will fully
live up to its name this summer. On
Saturday and Sunday baseball dia-
monds were in full operation all day
long. Soccer was played. The golf
course was we'll populated. Even the
summer gardeners along the Potomac
Drive were hard at It

remains to be seen. But Miller should
murder fast ball pitchers.
While little has yet been seen of
Miller's fielding skill, the series
starting here today and continuing
through the week .hould provide
manager Mcbride with all the in
formation he desires. The former
Little Rock lad seems to know how
to run around in the garden, but X
will take actual play to show his
boss where he stands as a candidate
Tor a regular job.
BROTTEM BEHIND BAT.
Tony Brottem caught all the
regular pitchers during the long bat
ting drill yesterday, exercising his
t.browing arm with perfect pegs to all
the bases. Brottem is a tall upstand-
ing lad. somewhat resembling Hank
! lSevereid Of the st. Louis Browns, and
lis horse for work.
Bob La Motto has been nursing a
lame tendon in his right thigh for the
past week and hopes to be ready for
some dazzlin work in the series
here. This young man is ambitious
and eager to, play. but he has been
so lame that II has been punishment
for him to do more than hit in prac-
tice.
Scotty Mchugh, the red-thatcneu
outfielder from Locust Gap, Pa. does
not intend remaining here, IL Manager
Mcbride decides to turn him over to
Tommy Leach's Smokers. McHugh
says he has hoped freights before
now, and that he will do it again be-
fore remaining in what he calls this
.God-forsaken country" He is a
mountaineer, and the fiat land of
peaceful Florida doesn't look good to
him. ..
Dinwiddie Tucker says nothing.
He might be willing to play here. but
Leach has already declined to con-
slider him. fuckers slowness on the
hoof counteracts his slugging ability.
Though he has done some pitching.
Tucker refuses to climb the hill. in
sisting that he is an outf1elder. So
far he is the only one here who
thinks so.

BY JACK vEFOCK.

NEW YORK. March 23.-Roger
Hornsby, $25o.0O0 beauty Of the St
Louis Cardinals and champion bats
man of the National League. is out to
defend his laurels. What's more he
hopes to better his 1920 record by in
vading the select class Of 400 hitters"
this year.
Hornsby modestly tells of his ambi-
tion in a wire from Dixieland receive
ed today by International News Serv-
ice.
II hope to retain the National
League batting championship" says
Hornsby, "and I am eager to build
up 400 average this year.
IF ! can only get away to a good
start, i know / can hit from mid
season on. The records show that I
have always come strong at the fin
ish.
II had a world of good batting
practice last spring. and when the
season opened i was in my stride. In
previous years / had experienced diff
ficulty in getting started and by the
time found myself the other fellows
had gained an unpassable lead"
AVERAGE OF $50.
Ihe star swatsman or the Cards led
the senior major league last season
with a batting average OF .370 in 149
games. He carried the National
League title to St. Louis, while
George Sisler, of the Browns, annexed
the American League clouting crown
for the Mound City with the enyiable
average OF .4O7 in 154 pastimes.
81 am basing my hopes OF improv-
ing NV batting averaRe m NV eY
perience last year.. Hornsby contin-
ued, "and IL that means anything I
should be able to show better form at
the bat. thanks to an innovation in
troduced by Manager Branch Hickey,
which has enabled all of our players
to get three times as much hitting as
the ordinary club.

JESSE WAS REAL
FOUL LAD

Jess Burkett, the veteran
coach of the Giants, used to be
an expert on making fouls in
the old days before the foul
strike rule. One day in Pitts
burgh a newsboy told Burkett
that he had made a bet that the
great batsman could make ten
fouls in succession. Burkett
told the lad to go double his
bet, and in the game that af-
ternoon Jess made fifteen fouls
in succession and made an ever
lasting friend.

COLD IN HIS sHOULDER.
Despite, the wonderful sunshine, the
fragrant warm winds, Johnson has
developed a cold in his shoulder, and
1t has now extended up into his neck
He did not even don uniform yester-
day, though he did stroll over to
Plant Field and gaze upon the ath
letes at play. During the afternoon,
and again last evening. Mike Martin
the liniment king, massaged the roya'
shoulder and neck with his marvellous
fuid, promising to have Johnson ir
latest. t} t !
For the remainder of the week
Johnson will take only lisht work He
is already in good physical condition,
though he has yet to try his arm out,
fully. He believes In making haste
slowly. and so is taking his time. But
next Monday or Tuesday johnson viii
pitch his first nine complete innings
this spring. That will be against Joe
Tnker's team at Orlando, on the East
Coast. As preparations for that test
Johnson will probably twirl FIVE
frames here against the regulars or
Friday. providing Mike Martin has
driven away that awful curse, the still
neck. ...... ... Z.
Meanwhile. Johnson carries his
golden locks at decided angle. He
cannot run. 1t is painful for him to
chew his cud three times q day, which
is doubly terrible to an athlete in
training. About the only thing left
for the Kansas Cyclone is q quiet
game of poker. He has been clean
ing up the gang right merrily since
he became afflicted. and Zeb Milan is
hoping the stin neck won't become

chance to get his money back.
REGULARS MEET RSoKIEs.
Today the first of four games be-
tween the regulars and the rockies.
Is due for Plant Field. This series
will serve to keep up the spirits of
the squad. Until ball players work
themselves into shape, they are will
ing to stand the grind. But once they
feel themselves ready for baseball.
the grind of the daily batting and
fielding drill becomes extremely mo-
notonous. The series Is not begin

TURTLES.
Consider the turtle.
Likewise, consider Stanislaus

They have the same build and fol-
low the same methods.
1t takes them a long time to get

age to muddle through.
Joe stecher attempted to clip
Stanislaus with his scissors hold the

Now he Is almost matched with
Stranger Lewis. the deadlock expert.
II you try to clamp a deadlock

The only way to get a hold on a
guy like that Is TO use a can opener.
And can openers are barred.
Frank Gotch once threw Zbyszl:o

prise. Caught him outside his Shell,

Gotch was a sensible wrestler and
