SOCCER LEAGUE OPENS
WITH Twin BILL TODAY

Harlems are to play Rangers and
Washington Soccer Club clashes with
the British Embassy eleven this
afternoon in the opening matches of
the National Capital Soccer League.
These games will be played on the
Monument lot pitch, the Harlem
Ranger contest starting at 1:45
O'Clock and the other at $3.50.
The National Capital is the first
soccer league ever organized here.
While the game has been fostered by
local sportsmen for several years, it
was not until this winter that more
than two first-class teams took the
field. With the forming of the
Rangers and the Harlems, however,
a regular league was made possible.
Washington Soccer Clubs eleven is
the oldest in the circuit. It has been
in existence for nearly fifteen years
and has done much to establish the
game here. The British Embassy
team includes several players of in
ternational repute. The other teams
are composed mainly of players who
have not been at the game long.

The Washington Golf and Country
Club course has been open for almost
week. This course drains faster
than any other about Washington.
President Harding opened the local
season Wednesday when he played a
round over the Washington course
with Speaker Gillett, Undersecretary
Christian, jr. While the chief execu-
tive's score was not revealed, he had
the satisfaction of running down a
long putt on the last green for a
birdie four.
Golfer, i'm 1922 will not be put to
such an expense as during the past
four years. Balls and clubs are de-
creasing in price and, while the pres
ent tendency is to raise dues at many
clubs, the outlay probably will run
less than heretofore.
According to experienced golfers
who have visited the site on which
the course Of the new Indian Spring
course is being built, the ninth hole
a 22S-yard affair-will take rank as
one Of the leading one-shot holes OF
the option Of attempting to reach the
green from the tee or Of playing
short drive and a pitch shot. The long
drive must carry three sets OF traps
to a well guarded green. The traps
are SO arranged that they will not
catch the ball of the accurate short
player, but the inaccurate man easily
will find trouble.
Delegates representing the fourteen
member clubs of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association will gather together
at the New Willard Hotel next Satur-
day night to award the 1922 cham
pionships of the organisation. Will
rnington probably will get the 1922 in
dividual event, while the tear tour
ney is likely to go to a Washington

Barrow picks on fielding because he
believes that some pitchers are roll
ing downhill in both leagues. and 1t
they can't do any better than they
have been doing it will be necessary
for the infielders to come to their
assistance.
Some Barrow Deductions.
He calls attention to some facts
which are interesting:
/. There were teams in 1921 which
made q better showing than their
pitching strength warranted because
they had ALTERED good lnfielders.
The Boston Americans. who didn't
have anything that could be called
good batting were battling for every
game. They could not have done
that if they had not been one of
the best defensive teams in either
league.
2. Barrow would not say a word
about teams in other leagues, but he
admitted that any one could reason
by analogy. that the New York Ma;
tionals might not have done so we'll

son, received support which made
the pitchers look like stars. -
3. The chances accepted and under
taken in 1921 were more numerous on
the part of many iielders than in
other years. This showed that the
pitchers were being hammered and
that they were being saved by their
fielders who were getting over more
ground. The work Of Dykes of the
Athletics and Harris Of Washing
ton showed how much pitchers owed
to them.
L., In the outfield there was some
great work on the part Of certain
players and opportunities for great
work on the part of others. The
trouble with the outfielders in gem
