Needs Will Put An End

Tourist Travel Is
Already Under Way
Twenty Tourist Parties
Use Caldwell Camp
Last Week

Tourist travel for 1923 is already
we'll under way. it is indicated by ar
rivals this past week at the Caldwell
tourist camp at Memorial Park. No
less than twenty parties registered with
William Bischof, park superintendent,
during the week. States as widely sep
arated as California and Minnesota
were represented among those who
used the local tourist facilities.
This year drive will be made to
interest visitors at the Yellowstone
National Park in the location of Cald-
we'll as the jumping off place for the
LON cutoff and a considerably aug
mented list of visitors is expected at
the park this summer. Already the
problem of providing Accommodations
for them has reached a serious point
and efforts are being made to enlarge
the tourist camp to accommodate them.

Three Maryland Educational insti

Three Maryland Educational insti-
tutions seem to have unusually strong
teams this year-Maryland Univer-
sity, Blue Ridge College, and Wash
ington College. just how these COM
pare with one another will not be
known completely, as Marylad does
not meet the other two.
Washington and Blue Ridge have
two games scheduled, and they are
bound to be tight contests. Washing
ton has met some strong teams this
year-notably West Virginia Univer-
sity; Ursinus, Albright and Pennsyl-
vania Military College, defeating
them all. The only Maryland college
she has played, st. Johns, also was
bested.
Blue Ridge has defeated Hopkins,
Western Maryland and Mt. st. Mary's
and has been also downed by the last
named.
It is to be regretted that some sort
of intercollegiate league Of Maryland
colleges can not be organized in order
to have college champion. AS mat
tiers now exist, there is no general in
terchange of games; there are, no
standards Of eligibility; no schedule;
no championship. The authorities
should get together and arrange mat
tiers so that each college would play
every other one, and no championship
struggle would be viewed with great
er interest by the sport-loving people
of Maryland.

The Philadelphia Athletics usually
start the season in winning gait
but soon begin to fall away until they
reach the place which for the last s
or 10 years they have occupied-the
cellar.
This year. there is no exception to
the way they opened up, but they do
seem to be holding ON little tighter
and playing more consistently good
ball. "a,
They are right up among the lead.
ers, and good base ball authorities
are almost ready to concede them to
be pennant contenders. Last week
they were in second place, and playing
strong ball.
This team is favorite in this sec.
ton. Memories Of Frank Baker anc
Nichols, old Pocomoke stars, have
made the sentiment veer towards
Connie Mack's boys, and here's hoping
he may cop the pennant Of nineteen
twenty three.

SPORT S

Jess Willard, after a four-year lay
off, partly proved that he is an excep-
ton to the rule that a champion, once
defeated, never comes back. He de-
feated Floyd Johnson, title aspir-
ant, knocking him out in, twelve
rounds. \
Physically, johnson was no match
for Willard, when bulk is considered;
so that the latter will have to meet a
man who will more nearly measure
up to his huge proportions, before fl
nal judgment can be made as to his
fitness to be called as good as ever
he was.
johnson is a game youngster, but
found Willard too big for him, and
succumbed to mere size. Willard
seemed slow and awkward, but states
that he was fighting cautious course,
which would seem to be a judicious
plan of campaign, since he had been
so long out of the ring.
One thing the ex-champion showed
however land that is he reached a
condition in which few expected to see
him. Experts say he was in better
training than when he met Dempsey,
particular improvement being seen in
the seriousness with which he regard
ed the task in hand. With Dempsey,
he was over-confident, and looked up
on his go with the present champion
as an easy way to pick up few thou
sands Of the ;needful.
On the twelfth, however, his face
wore an expression Of grim determi-
nation, and he fought desperately to
win.
He is now matched to fight with
Firpo, the South American giant land
the winner of this fight will probably
be matched with Dempsey, the lose,
will in all probability go up against
Johnson.
