Washington Potomacs of the East

only tossers in the circuit to have
pointed the way to the Bacharach

The local team is fourth in the
race, with the Lincoln Giants of New
York and the Philadelphia Hilldales
tied for second.
The Potomacs' most notable feat
was 2-to-1 victory over the Hill

is leader of the juniors and A. j. Gold
berg is chief of the midget division.
These divisional officers have much to
do, for there are nearly $50 teams
affiliated with the association.
One of the busiest men in the asso-
citation at present is l.. G. Schmidt
chairman of the committee arranging
the field day. He is secretary of the
War Department League. Schmidt is
doing a great deal to make a success
of the affair to be held, next month,
but he would have to do much more
without the able assistance of Norris
Sigmund. The latter is taking care
of many of the details of the field day
plans.

he poled three home runs. While at

PROVES
A GOOD man
COMES Up
Lalmbeer, Harvard Scrub,
Crashes Through and Lands
on First Team

Not long ago there came the story
from behind the closed gates Of the
Harvard Stadium OF the vivid
promotion Of George Laimbeer, a
big guard, from the black shirted
second string to the first squad Of
the Crimson football outfit. 1t IL
harder to get into Harvard secret
practice than it is to interview the
President Of the United States. So
the story was told to newspapermen.
1t had Laimbeer playing on the
second team and crashing through
three times to throw first team
backs for losses. Then had It head
coach Bob Fisher rushing out on the
field and stopping practice. He is
said to have rushed up to the
youngster and thrown his arm
about his shoulders. "I want you"
he Is quoted as saying as he led
him to the side lines. Trainer
Donovan shouted for q red jersey
as they came in and one Of the
army Of assistant managers tossed
it to him, a dramatic promotion 10
the first string.
George Carens. Boston sports
writer, IL reminded by the occur
renee Of another incident during
Harvard'g secret practices Of Other
years. "While following dummy
scrimmage," says Carens, zone OF
the coaches suddenly decided to try
Philip Coburn a. q back. He used
to play in the baclxfield with Noble
and Greenough and welcomed the
chance to work with the carriers.
But the opportunity came 80 un.
expectedly that he was somewhat
flabbergasted. One Of his early
stunts was to intercept a forward
pass and start running. in the
wrong direction. He was brought
down by his team mates and from
that time on he was a marked
man."
But Coburn, as those who have
followed Harvard in football since
the war know, did not quit under
the rather natural amusement and
riding that his act brought upon
him. He became in time one of
the best defensive backs that
Harvard has had in years. His
work in the famous 2-to,2 game
which Harvard played that year
with Penn State will long be
reinembered

GOLFER DRIVES
BALL IN EAR
Of DONKEY
That Is Freakiest Of Many
Queer Landing Places Of
Gutta-percha.

Golf balls have often gone into
strange places, such as pockets, milk
cans. old shoes and gopher holes,
but probably the .strangest resting
place the elusive little Pill ever chose
to stop in was the ear OF a donkey!
This happened in Ireland two years
ago. when Mr.. McEvoy. a member
Of the Middleton Club Of Cork, drove
from the third tee. The donkey
happened to be standing on the links
directly In line with McEvoy's bound
ing drive. When the players came
up to him he tossed his head ana
ran away, the bali falling onto the
ground.
The hat pin episode pictured above
occurred during the Royal and
Ancient Medal meeting, September
rs, 1907. A member OF the club
drove q ball that ended its trip
from the tee by sticking firmly on
the sharp end OF hat pin In the
hat Of q lady who was crossing the
course. No, there were no casual.

long distance toward the two play

Travis. The last three girls named
are respectively, president, secre-
tary-treasurer and manager Of the
club.
These girls are all popped up
about the coming basketball season.
Although they entered the city
league, playing late last year, they
won many games, showing fine pos
sibilities which they hope to realize
this coming season.
The majority Of the candidates
are tall and quick, most Of them
having played the game for the
past five or six years on champion
ship teams Of other cities.
Beginning next week the Wacks
will take the floor twice a week
under the direction of a new coach,
who declared that there are great
possibilities in at least fourteen Of
the squad. New organizations are
expected to be more ambitious dur
ing the next two years to come;
therefore let it be known that the
w. A. G. will not only have one
but two teams on the floor this
year. The club expects to anter
one in the City League and the
other one in the Baptist League,
which is playing as an organized
unit for the first time this year.
Experience means much but with
their abundance of ambition, COOP
grafton, and love Of the game, these
girls, who are already training,
mean to concentrate their efforts
and make name for themselves
with long established Metropolitans,
Capitals, Princess. Marjorie Web.
sters and the girls from Wilson

to the former 2 up and / to play.
Mrs. Tilley was 8 UP on her OPP
