BASEBALL AND LACROSSE
IS SPORT MENU FOR
NAVY LADS TOMORROW

With Curly Byrd's University of
Maryland nine as the opposing force
the Navy baseball team will, tomor-
row afternoon, engage in the second
contest of the season. The game is
booked to start at 2:30 O'Clock.
Though some rough spots were in
evidence in the opening game with
Bwodoin on Wednesday, which was no
more than expected in an initial en-
gagement, Billy" Lush, Navy's men,
tor is well satisfied with the prospects
for the season. The pitching staff
does not loom as strong as Lush
would like to have it, but a big en-
couraging indication is better stick
work. With the exception of Thach,
third base, and Kelly, pitcher, every
man on the team got one or more safe
hits in the Bowdoin encounter, and
all of them were clean, hard drives,
the collection of IL blows including
two two-baggers.
Representatives of the College Park
institution will be engaged in another
line of athletic endeavor here tomor-
row, as the lacrosse team will face
the middies in the opening engage
ment of the year.
The cadets of st. Johns College
have taken keenly to lacrosse and are
hopeful of going through successful
season. The team will go to Balti-
more tomorrow for its opening game
with the twelve of Mount Washington
Club.

miners.
The basic rates for the soft coal
workers range from $1.08 to Sill a

The closing of this deal tends to
fulfill a recent prediction of r. l..
Eeever & Goss. regarding the atti-
tude Of out-of-town investors to-
ward real estate in this city. More
and-more the eyes of investors from
the outside are being turned to-
ward Washington. the heart of the

portance of this city, not only In
this country, but to the entire
world. Values are now and always

cities in this country. and this fact
alone is attracting much outside
capital. The closing of this large
deal so early in the new year indi-
Gates that the real estate market
in Washington will be very active
