MARYLAND GIVES NAVY
REAL LACROSSE BATTLE

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April Twin
ming from the University of Maryland
by 4 to 2 this afternoon, the Naval
Academy lacrosse team was given
one of the hardest battles it has en-
countered' during the last six seasons,
in which it has not met defeat.
Cullen, former Central High School
athlete of Washington, made the only
score of the first half, throwing a
goal two minutes before the close of
the period.
Rowe's drive tied the score early in
the second half and after Navy added
two goals Heidelbach brought the
score to 3 to 2, with fifteen minutes to
play.
Miller shot another goal for the
Navy shortly before final time was
called. (

be offered the faithful Wednesday
night at Central Coliseum, and if the
mat maulers are as formidable as
their names there will be work for
the surgeons ere the night is past
First and foremost among the quar-
tet to appear is Stanislaus Zbyszko,
world heavyweight champion until
he fell into Stranger Lewis head
lock. Stanislaus is to show his
wares in a grapple with Address
Canstonos.
AS preliminary to the Zbyszko-
Canstonos bout, George Kotsonaros
and Allah Hassan, will meet. Kot-
sonaros is very Greek and Hassan
just as much Turk. There should be
action in that affair. This early tilt
will start at Sis o'clock.

Fish at salt water places have not

of Washington anglers who visited
Rock Point returned without even
getting a bite. They went out in the
face of a strong southwest wind
which kicked up quite sea. First,
they motored about five miles up the
Wicimico, where the pilot of the boat
said they might pick up some rock

their motor was started and other

Ambitious Youngsters.

At present he appears set for a
winning season, not solely because
of his apparent excellent health, but
because of the fine showing of the
two youngsters pressing him for his
position. These are Roscoe Holm,
Iowa University collegian. who holds
the inside track to the understudy
position at present through his SEN
national fielding and solid hitting.
and Howard Freigau, from Ohio
Wesleyan College.
The case of Fred Toney is that of
: the veteran player eager to make
good after being turned adrift by a
championship ball club with label
attached 'all through"
He has indicated beyond doubt that
he is anxious to prove to every one
aseballically inclined that he is far
from a has-been.
The fourth reason for the improve
ment of the Cardinals is the change
in Right-hander Bill Pertica. A sick
man last season, the former coast
Lacquer developed mean disposition
and lost interest in base ball and
things in general He did not care
whether he played ball or not. He
proved this on many occasions. 1t
is different with Pertica now. In
perfect health. he looks forward to a
great campaign. He was one of
Rickey's best bets in 1921, his first
year as a Cardinal.

fine road to Benedict, a good resting
place where every convenience for
the visitor has been provided. The
old hotel has been entirely renovated
and repainted. and with its broad

Another feature at Benedict is the

Team Has Good Subs.

When Manager Hickey planned this
1928 training season he decided he
was not going to be found wanting
in capable substitute material. as was
the case in 1922, when a series of the
most disheartening and undermining
breaks" cut down regular after reg
ular.
1t does not seem likely that the
devastating hands of the fates will
weave similar inroads on the same
clubs firSt-water material again in
1923, but Hickey refuses to believe
the odds are favorable to him in this
respect for 1923. He is not to be
caught mapping again. He has the
reserves.
McCurdy is one of three recruit
athletes sure of holding his job. His
rapid development to a capable
catcher from the raw recruit who re-
ported direct from Illinois University
last summer is such that Manager
Hickey openly predicts first-string
responsibility for him with the Cards
in a couple of years.
Eddie Ainsmith. former Washington
and Detroit receiver, probably Will
do the bulk of the catching for the
Cards this year. he did in 1922.
Ed was one of the worst catchers in
the league in 1922 when fielding per-
centage alone is taken into considera-
ton, but he was one of the most
valuable in all-round play, including
hitting. Last year he enjoyed one of
the best batting seasons he ever had.

In lieu of the departed Fourier
Hickey will use Bottomly at first
base. In fact the Nokomis, Ill, prod
uct replaced Fournier at the initial
angle late last season after being
recalled from Syracuse. where he
had been sent by Hickey for ex-
perience.
His showing during the tail end
of the season, both afield and while
swinging the hickory for a .325
average. eight doubles. five triples
and five home runs in thirty-seven
games, in contrast to the inferior
work of Fourier, who was carrying
twenty pounds of supertluous avoidu-
pois. was the beginning of the end
of the big Frenchmans career as
Cardinal.
AS to Lavan, looked upon as the
third improvement in the defense of
the Cardinals. he reported in fine
physical condition. His health was
quite a pleasant surprise to every
one who had held out only pity for
him last year.
During the winter Manager Hickey
remarked repeatedly that Cardinal
chances in 1928 hinged in the main
upon the defense at the shortfield
If Lavan's showing to date is true

For years the Cardinals have been
minus a center fielder who could
cover the position with his head and
arm as well as with his pedal eX
tremities. Now they have one of
the best defensive middle gardeners
in the business in Myers, who. in
addition. can be relied upon to hit
