ROCKVILLE HIGH PITCHER
TURNStl IN PERFECT GAME

ROCKVILLE, Md, May 25.-The
junior baseball team of the Rock,
vile High School boasts of a pitcher
who is expected to make a name for
himself before he is many years
older. He is Russell Hutchinson, of
Rockville, and is seventeen years
old. He has pitched some very
clever games during the last year
or two, but his best performance
was given here today, when he
shut out the Junior team represent
ing the Georgetown Preparatory
School. Is to 0. BY agreement it
was a seven-inning contest and
during that time he not only did
not allow a safe hit, but none of
the opposing team reached first
base. His teammates say he has
everything"

Rockminster and PilIory have not
made promising beginnings as four
year-olds, but neither has been
crowded.
Rockminster is the sounder of the
pair, but Pillory is not badly I'M
derpinned as first class thorough
breds/ go. Both will come through
later. Possibly they will be at their
best at Saratoga in August and
still good in Maryland and Ken
lucky in October and November.
Lucky Hour should be at top form
in June or July.
Prince James is coming on hand
somely. His Excelsior Handicap eff
fort, although it got him nothing
more than third money, was a con-
siderable Improvement on his race
in the Kings County. Races of one
mile and a sixteenth are not the
King James stations sort, either.
He wants to go one mile and a
quarter and on. When he won
the Aqueduct Handicap last Sen.
TENDER. beating Mad Halter and
Captain AlcOck away off, he set a
new track mark of Eli flat for
one mile and five-sixteenfhs.
Prince James is training soundIy
this spring, better than he did last
season, in fact. But unsoundness
prevented his racing at two and
three. His underpinning cannot be
any too good. If he were my horse
| would not be desperate hurry to
win with him before August. His

Abe could hit, but his punch
wasn't "devastatin'," as Sam
Langford called his. Abe was
a good, stiff hitter, but never a
knockerout.
AS he went along he met
tougher men,, and, of course,
failed to stop them. He could
outlook the majority, but not
stop them.
As for Mcfarland, he NEVER
was a hitter. He had padded
record, which Battling Nelson
discovered, and made him admit
in the presence of the writer.
Mcfarland was kidding Bat
one day in this office and finally
got the Danes nanny. Bat pulled
out a record book and declared
that the list of knockouts in Nc
Farland's record was the bunk,
and offered to bet $1,000 cash
that he could prove it. Packey
sheepishly admitted it.
Nelson then offered to take
Mcfarland up on the roof of
the Evening Journal building
and fight him with bare knuckles
for $4,000. Mac shut up like a
clam and kidded no more.

They have sent thirteen men to
the games, headed by Brick
Muller, all-American end and a
conspicuous figure in California s
successive track and field cham
pionships in 1921 and 1922. Muller,
replacing Jack Merchant as strong
man of the act, should do no worse
than second in the high jump, and
barring the unforeseen will place
in the broad jump and discus.
The strength of the WeSterneTs
Is maSsed around the field events,
rs usual, with SOrrenti, Red Nor
ris and NeufeIdt favored as prob
able individual winners. SOE'renti
is the class Of the jaVelin
throwers, but Norris and Neu-
feIdt can look for the closest of
competition i'm the pole vault and
discus, respectively. Other prob
able point winners i'm the Cali
fornia squad are Witter and Ne1-
feIdt in the shot put, Neufeldt
and Peterson in the javelin,
Berkeley and Lang I'm the discus,
I'm the high jump and BOren in

Princeton and Pennsylvania are
generally selected to chase Cali
fornia into the title. The Tigers
have an unusually strong array
conferred around j. G. Taylor, who
should score no less than eight
points in the lower hurdles and
quarter mile. He has the hurdles
at his mercy and the same can be

PENNSYLVANIA and Yale are dan.
gerOus factors, but hardly up to
the problem of winning a cham
piOnslip. Pennsylvania, i'm fact. is
q six man track team and each
would have to turn in at least one
victory for the Red and Blue to
have a chance. The Penn stars are
McLane in the twO-miIe; Rose in
the broad jumps, Needs in the high
Jump, Sheriff. and Owens in the
pole vault and Lever in the 100
yard dash.
Yale has few stars, namely Com
ms in the spirits, Campbell in the
half, Douglas in the mile, Vanderpyl
in the two-mile, Human in the
hurdles. Storris in the javelin and
Cruikshank in the hammer throw.
They are hardly enough, however.
The best that the remainder of the
field can look for is an occasional in
dividual champion. Lafayette, for
example, has the present sprint

A Redhead Mixup.

Tue WATERMAN Tells OF
mistaken decision by Jack
u Munro, of Australia now, in
South Africa then.
Two red-headed boys were
fighting twenty rounds. After
the tenth Munro loafed on the
Job. One of the boys had such
a pronounced edge that he quit
worrying about the decision.
In Africa and Australia the
referee places his hand on the
victor's head, instead of raising
that persons hand. They call it
browning. The contestants were
in a clinch as the fight ended,
and all Munro could see were two
red heads. Confidently, he placed
his hand on the boy who had won.
The victor raised his head, and,
to Munro's horror, he found he
had crowned the wrong man.
Then, to his amazement, the
crowd went wild with enthusiasm.
The winner was a home boy and
very popular.
81 couldn't change the decision
them" said Munro afterward. 1T
would have caused a riot. That's
one time the wrong man won
and the crowd liked it."

Only one player-little Hewell-re-
manned to help capture the first flag
in organized Baseball on the Delmar-
Wan peninsula. Baldwin Joined the
Newark Bears and was a hurler,
dreaded even by the redoubtable slug
gers. Jackson went to the Virginia
League and Meatball Owens and Bird
are now with the Baltimore veterans
and fledglings at Winston-Salem.
To sum up the situation, it seems
that the other towns will be compelled
to put much stronger teams in the
field than those they had the past sea-
son before they reach the stage at
which Parksley was nearly a year
ago. Then more will be required to
curb town that won last year, will
be stronger this time, pulls as unit
with manager and players and has ac-
quired the "habit." At least, this is
the general belief in Parksley, and as
some one once said, confidence is
half the battle"

News In The World of Sport

year there will be, it seems, two
things in it's favor. One factor is con-
stituted in the fact that the 1922 club
won the pennant in a walk, it being
at no time during the campaign in
danger of rehnquishing first place.
Realizing that all other clubs are
making great preparations to
strengthen, local officials are doing
lot of gumshot work and assert that
the 1928 nine will be at least rs per
cent. stronger than it's predecessor.
However, nothing definite concern
ing the changes being made can be
elected from those at the helm.
A second important factor in Parks
ley's favor is that in no other town is
there quite the same spirit Of coopera
ton and determination to have win
ner that is always seen there. Then,
too, the town has got the habit; no
Parksley diamond representation has
ever been loser, considerating the
season as a whole.
Looking back over the records, one
cannot fail to notice the record Of the
great independent team of 1911. This
team, first organized in 1910, gave
such an impetus to the game there
that a park was inclosed and stands
erected.
H. J. Barnes, business manager Of
the present club, finally turned out to
lie the only local boy on that team, al
though at first home talent composed
the nine entirely. Barnes in 1911 led
that crack aggregation in batting. A
A teammate of Barnes was Ralph
MATHS, who will manage the team
there this season, and Kaiser Will

joined the Philadelphia Nationals, was
another.
Kilmarnock, across the bay; Sea-
ford, Berlin, Crisfield, Pocomoke City.
Cape Charles and Irvington organized
mines that year, but Parksley so far
outclassed the others that interest lag
ged and the local combination was
compelled to disband for want of wor-
thy opposition.
Baseball in Parksley then died out,
not to be revived until 1921, when
some fans noticed the nucleus of a
good team in the local high school
nine and among several town boys.
Bates and Bird, Baltimore boys,
were secured as battery and Butts
Hewell as a shortstop. Around these
men was built a good machine, which
closed very successful season with
five consecutive victories over Oman
cock, Parksley's nearby and ancient
rival.

Developments of the past week
make it certain that Crisfield will
have a team in the Eastern Shore
Base Bali League this season, ar
rangements having been completed to
the point where this announcement is
justified. Plans are now being made
| to sign four of the best players on
last seasons club, and other fast play
ers are being spotted and signed up
for the local team.
The financial situation facing Girls
field has been met by a number of To-
cal men, a new. corporation having
been formed to purchase the fran
chise, grounds and equipment of the
old association. The new corporation
was permanently organized at meet
ing held Thursday afternoon when Of
ficers and directors were elected as
follows:
President, Elwath H. Coulbourne;
vice president, J. Willard Tawes; Sec
tary and treasurer, DR.. Harry C.
Lewis.
Observation-Disclosures M. Quinn, j.
Willard Tawes, E. ii. Coulbourn, w.
Edwin Riggin and H. C. Lewis.
League Director-E. L. Quinn.
The new corporation has agreed to
pay certain pressing obligations of the
old association, and has secured as
signments for other debts which the
old association owed. The last named
debts will be paid by an issue of nom
dividend-bearing preferred stock
which will be retired from percent
age of the earnings of the new asso-
citation. The new corporation will
post the League forfeit of $1,000 by
April 1st and will finance the cluD
during the present season.
In order to carry out the plans OF
tire new association, the public is ex-
pected to contribute at least $1,000 in
cash, and solicitors have been appoint
ed to solicit contributions. Elwood
Sterling and F. Douglas Sears have
been named for the downtown section
and B. Horace Ford and c. IRWIN
Jones for the uptown section. The
success of the new association depends
in large measure upon the liberality
of the public land lovers Of base ball
are being urged to contribute hber-
ally.
The management is in communica-
ton with several well-known base
ball men for the position of manager,
and expect to secure a player-manager
