COLLEGES TO BEGIN
CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH
Eight Teams Pry Off 1921 Dia-
mond lid-Navy Appears
As Contender.

The college baseball season, which
got Off to spasmodic start last
week, will break forth in full glory
with the first days OF April, when all
Of the leading college mines Of the
East are scheduled to appear on the
diamond. New York University. Yale,
Holy Cross, Princeton and Navy have
already begun their playing seasons,
but the vast array of leading mines
have delayed until the passing of
Easter.
No less than eight big college
teams will make their start this
week, including Georgetown. Penn
State, Penn, Fordham, Columbia,
Dartmouth, s. c. N. Y, and Army.
All except Columbia, c. C. N. Y. and
Army will play their opening games
in the Southland. q.
The games played by N. Y. u, Yale,
Holy Cross, Princeton, and Navy last
week were not sufficient to give a
line on the different teams. They
did however prove that Holy Cross,
Navy, Princeton and the Ellis are
again in the field with teams of more
than ordinary ability.
The Middies especially showed
power in crushing the Tiger at An
napolis by score Of 3 to In
sensational contest. Princeton was
touted as having a very strong ag-
gregation, with an abundance Of in
field material, so the Navy's victory
deserves a world of credit.
Yale opened with two victories, but
n. Y. u. is having a rather disas-
trous trip. with defeats at the hands
OF Trinity College and North Carolina
State College. Holy Cross, with prac-
tically the same team as last season.
crushed William and Mary College
by a count Of to z.
Two pitching feats of more than
passing mention were accomplished
during the past week. Bill Dollard,
star hurler of the Catholic University
nine, turned in a no-hit game against
the Naval Training Station team at
Norfolk. Va, and Saturday afternoon
Tim Mcnamara, Fordham's veteran
hurler. allowed but one hit in
practice game against the Federal
Reserve Bank team.

CUE WIZARDS TO CLASH
in HANDICAP MATCH

NEW YORK, March 2s.-The first
handicap billiard match between
professionals in this city in more
than ten years will begin this af-
ternoon when Edouard Horemans,
the brilliant Belgian, commensces his
,ffort to score 2,400 points of 1871
balkline against 1900 for Albert
Cutler in their three-day contest at
kline's Strand Academy.
Horemans has shown his 1871
ability only once since he arrived
early in the winter in an exhibition
contest with Thomas Gallagher, in
which each block brought forth a
performance higher than the official
competitive records. Cutler has been
practicing assiduously.
The match will close the profess
sional balkline billiard season -
this city. For the next six week.
Horemans will devote himself to ex-
hibitions around the country and will
sail for home In June, to- return
again next fall Horemans will play
400 points to 500 for Cutler in each
block. the afternoon sessions begin
ming at 2:30 and the evening ones al
$3.50.

GOLDIE RAPP REMOVED
TO HOSPITAL WITH GRIP

NEW ORLEANS, March 2S.-Joe
(Goldie) Rapp, hailed as the new third
baseman Of the New York Giants. was
removed to the Touro Hospital, n pri-
vate institution, when the team ar
rived here yesterday. Rapp Is re-
ported to be seriously Ill. but whether
he is suffering from fnfuehza or
pneumonia probably will not be de-
termined for a day or two.
Rapp contracted a heavy, cold, but
continued to play until Thursday,
when he was excused from practice
Rapp cost the Giants $4,000, and
John McGraw recently styled the
youngster one OF the best rockies he
ever had seen in action.

EVANS WILL GO OVER
TO PLAY FOR AMERICA

BOSTON. March %. - Charles
(Chick) Evans, the national amateur
golf champion, has decided to Join
Bobby Jones and the rest of the
Americans who will invade Great
Britain shortly In quest of European
tiles. Evans, who recently announced
that he would not cross the pond, ex-
ercised the privilege almost exclusive
ly enjoyed by the fair sex and
changed his mind" The stock Of
the Yankee entry, which slumped
when it was learned that Francis
Quimet would not participate, Is again
looking up, as with Evans, Jones, Max
Marston and c. b. Fownes in the
path of the Britishers, there Is a
good chance of Yankee victory.

DAYTONA. Fla, March Is
Manager Mcbride won't have
any troubles this year looking
for pinch hitters. Indeed. the
Washington bench will be filled
with them.
Left-handers will be Frank
Brewer, Jezebel Tecumseh Zach
ary and Harry Courtney, Right
handlers will be Bing Miller,
Pat Charity and Hank Shanks.
And the joke OF it is that all
six of these fellows will be bat
Ting to march up to the plate
the moment George Mcbride
evinces a wish for one of them.
They're not cutters by any
means. Rather the opposite.
They'll be fighting for the op-

Hank Shanks, always a great hitter
in the spring. played in all eight
games and leads the gang with a
batting average OF 800.

left behind for experience, surprised
folks with a mark Of .459, while
Deeby Foss slammed the pill for .42S
and Eddie Goebel for 1872.
Here are the figures for the squad
in all the games played to date:
The Washington times., 1921-03-28

Griffs will now lack good hitters this
season, and, make no mistake, the
boys have faced some pretty good
pitching.
Jimmy Ring and Lee Meadows, for
the Phillies, were in fine form against
the Washington team. In the inter-
squad games some very fine pitching
has been turned in by Zachary.
Courtney, Mogridge, Erickson and
Acosta.
Indeed, the pitching seen by the
Griffmen has been quite up to the
standard that the New York Giants
will offer next week.
