THREE INDIANS
GET GOLDEN
CHANCE
Trio of Catchers Face Real
Opportunity to Get Regu-
lar Berths.

Opportunity Is knocking at the
door for two Cleveland juveniles,
Glenn Wyatt and Luke Sewel, bota
catchers. Also a third receiver,
new in the livery of the Indians,
.butsa veteran in point of baseball
service, is to get the golden chance
Of his career on the big loop. che
said vet is none other than Al
Walters.
Wyatt, who had previously failed
to make the grade with the Phila-
delphia Athletics, was purchased
from Milwaukee for a Well Street
figure, while Sewell, a brother of
Clevelands flashy shortstop, learned
his baseball at the University of
Alabama and broke into the Amer.
lean League without serving his ap.
premiership in the minors.
Walters was with the New York
Yankees. figured in one Of the cele.
brated trades with the Red Sox, and
was a party to another swap recent.
ly engineered by the Boston and
Cleveland clubs. even human chat.
tells in all were shifted in that deal.
One of the trio of receivers men.
toned has a chance to step into the
size ten brogans vacated by Steve
O'Neill, who was transported to the
Hub in the aforementioned ex.
change of players. O'Neill had been
Cleveland's mainstay for more than
a decade, and 1t is not going to be
a sinecure for Myatt, Sewell, or
Walters to make the fans forget all
about the Minooka boy, but O'Neill
had to be sacrificed to bring First
Baseman George Burns back to
bolster up the weak spot in the
Cleveland infield,
In this case history may repeat
itself. When Bill Sullivan slipped
as the backstopping star of the
Chicago White Sox, little Ray Schall1
went behind the plate and made the
fans forget all about their one time
favorite. Schalk unQuestionably was
the best all-around catcher for the
past decade, viewed from every
angle. and it may be the same
thing will happen in Cleveland.
It may be that Walters will be
Q'Neill's successor. AL always has
been forced to play second fiddle,
both at New York and Boston, and
feels that II he had the chance to
work regularly he would come
through with flying colors. That
chance awaits him with the Indians.
and he must do it to show some
slight superiority over his rivals
at the Lakeland. Fla. traininp,
camp, and the job Of first-strlng
catcher will be his.
Wyatt joined Cleveland heralded
as wonder. He showed flashes of
real form, but he. wasn't the con.
sistent performer that Manager
iris Speaker had hoped he would
be. He was shy on number Of
things that go to make up a real
star, and at the close Of the 1923
season had not progressed very far
to the topnotch.
Last but not least is Luke SewelI.
Here is a kid who reminds one of
Ray Schalk. He is a great mechan,
ical workman; can throw as we'll MS
II not better than, any man in the
game today; Is as fast on his feet
as Schalk and can hit we'll enough
to make him strong contender for
the job. And withal he Is gifted
with brains and lots of common
horse sense. Luke didn't work
much last season, being KEEP. on the
bench to absorb the tricks of tho
trade. This spring he will get his
big chance to show his stuff. Az
they would say in society circles,
"he Is coming out"

Yet, John Klein has annually
picked a team from Maryland stars
in an effort to triumph over the
National Capitals representation,
and now after nine futile attempts 1t
seems that the Baltimorean is in
fair way to realize his ambition.
A week from next Monday night
at Lewis & Krauss', the final block
OF the 1900 point match will be
played. Washington's quartet OF
Capt. Charles Wolfe. Edward Powell,

Klein has mustered the best
team which has ever represented
Baltimore in one of these inter
city matches. Roscow. GARRISON,
Crook and Leinhart are a co1uoi Ia
ton which can favorably compare
With like number any other city
might wish to put forward.
They have mad years Of tour
nament experience and show to
their best when something is at
stake. And what's more they
realize that a victory over Wash.
ingtOn will mean far more to
Johnny Klein than 1t will to
them. They are out to win for
John Klein.
There isn't a one of the quartet
but who will swear by Klein. He
Is one Of the most popular billiard
room proprietors in the country.

and George Underwood, of the old
Thirteenth, not to mention others
that the Seventy-first, Twelfth and
Slxty-ninth Regiments contributed
to the Olympic teams Of the past.
Clean athletics are a powerful
factor in developing leaders of men.
The late world war proved beyond
all doubt the lessons in team play,
discipline nd coordination, as
learned on the athletic fields Of the
United States, did much to give
Uncle Sam the great fighting forces
that he was able to muster to his
support.
MajOrGen. C. w. Berry, CON-
mandant Of the famous Twenty
seventh Division, which broke the
famed Hindenburg line over there,
has thrown his full support In
the endeavOr to revive the Mill
tary Athletic League this season
by staging q set Of championship
athletic games.
He believes that through athletics
the National Guard will attract the
right sort Of recruits to the various
regiments and in this way New
York will be able to boast Of its
full strength of military men.
It is not so long ago that the
Military Athletic League games were
looked upon with the same degree
of satisfaction tnaI the Millrose A.
G. meet Is each year.
Many Of the amateur records that
are still on our track and field
books were made by stars that owed
their development to their service
in some of the various National
Guard units Of the Greater City.
The fact that the best coaches
have always been in charge Of
sports at the armories has contrib
uted in developing these champions.
A lad who is not a member OF
some school or college finds himself
W1LAOuJ pIOVCL AeSNAkAIAUS w NOASAA4V
his athletic career unless he avails
himself of some of the advantages
that Joining some local regiment
offers him.
The fact that the Military Ath-
letic League has always fOstered
the proper sort Of spOrtsmanship
among its members has accom-
pIished much to make the metro
pOIitan district leader in every
sense of the word.
Not only did those in charge of
affairs impress upon their pupils
the spirit of fight to win but they
never allowed the pre.eminent re-
quisite Of sportsman to be lost
sight Of.
It is to help spread this spirit of
fair play that the Military Athletic
League is attempting to stage the
comeback next March IL. Every
one interested in clean, wholesome
athletics should give their whole
hearted support to the work of
these officers who have most gen.
erously volunteered to give their
time, money and labor to promo
ton of something that has for it's
object the Improvement of young
America

Although beaten by Yale, ten Ia

Saturday, the Naval Academy has
not abandoned hopes of winning the
intercollegiate title. 1t was the first
match for the season, and with
good material and unequalled coach.
ing the midshipmen still have q
chance of turning tables on Yale
and winning in the finals of the
intercollegiate Fencing Association,
which takes place in New York
City, April ga.
tomorrow one Of the finest offer
ings Of the season is presented.
The big event is the boxing match
against the team picked from the
canadian Universities. while second
IN interest is the swimming match
against Brown, that team being led
BY the great Davy Jones, one of
the best sprint swimmers produced
IA this country. Gymnastics against
Dartmouth, wrestling against Wash.
lngton and Lee and water.polo
against the New York Athletic Club
complete the bill.
Another bill of five sports will
be presented at Annapolis on
March Sit follows: boxing,
pennsylvania State; wrestling,
Brown; swimming, Rutgers; gym
nast1cS, Pennsylvania; fencing,
Hamilton. The boxing will again
figure as the main attraction.
Penn State has been regular
opponent Of the Naval Academy
IN four previous seasons and has

On March 10, the Naval Academy
boxers viii go to New Haven,
where they box their first match
against Yale, but swimming and
waterproof against Syracuse, gym.
naStics in competition with Yale
and fencing against Columbia, will
make up fine list of attractions
from which sport lovers can make
their choice.
During the following week, Naval
Academy teams will do an unusual
amount of travelling for represen.
tatives of that institution. The
Naval team will be in the finals
OF the intercollegiate Gymnastic
Association, at New York, begin

through Saturday, and the water
polo team, on the way to New

team of the New York Athletic
Club, also on Friday.
The boxers will be present at the
finals Of the Intercollegiate Boxing
Association, which will take place
ut Pennsylvania State College on
March 81 and %, while the swim.

Naval people feel that their gym
team is strong enough to win its
fourth intercollegiate championship,
and are quite hopeful, even though
they recognize the strong opposition
Il will have, that it will keep its
boxing record untarnished for the
fifth consecutive year. The stand
ing in swimming and water polo will
rest largely upon the showing
against Yale at New Haven on
March Is. Consequently, the con.
