Fans Losing Time In
Not Buying Tickets
Before Opener

Washington baseball fans are
wasting time in not grabbing
the available $4,000 unreserved
seat tickets for tomorrow's
opening game of the season.
Their reluctance means that
they will have to delay their
entrance into the park tomor-
row, thereby missing choice To-
cations. Fans with tickets in
their hands will do the hustling
for the sun Seats, which are
quite likely to be far more COM
Portable on a cold afternoon
than seats in the covered stand.
Those hung up in the lines be-
fore the ticket windows will be
the losers.
The tickets are on sale at
the park and Spalding's today.

we picked Washington to again
win the American League pennant.
The series Just ended at the
stadium strengthens our convic-
ton that Washington is the best
club in the league.
at seems to me that there has
been an inclination in some quar-
tiers to underestimate the strength
of the Senators. It really is quite
a ball club. 1t got lot of good
breaks last season, but in Goslin,
Rice, Peck, Judge. Harris, Bluege,
Ruel and the regular pitchers it
really has a wealth of material.
at is a good offensive and de-
fensive club. Rice always was a
fancy worker in the garden. Cos
lin was a terrible fielder when he
first came into the league but
he has come along fast and today
little gets away from him. Ruel,
traded from the Yanks in he
deal which brought Schang hare,
stands pretty near the top of the
big league catchers."
Watch Your Step.
DUMORS have certain Balti-
II, more boxing promoters MAX
ing plans to enter Washing
ton in promoting capacities. This
is no boost for boxing in the
District of Columbia
Boxing is almost dead in Balti-
more because of the warfare
among the promoters. If they are
permitted here, it means the end
of the boxing game here, even
after it's present healthy start.
Baltimore promoters attempted
to conduct boxing in Maryland on
the outskirts of the District and
what happened? They flivvered.
If they attempt to come into the
District itself, under any disguise
whatever, they will deserve no
support. Baltimore, bigger than
Washington and the home of more
boxers, stands ready at their SER
vice. Let them stay at home.

accompany this writer to the
Follies tomorrow night, glimpsed
that statement in this column.
She pondered awhile. She re-
called distinctly that she had
small tootsies of her own, that
somebody had told her they "were
the smallest he had ever seen in
active operation" or something
to the general effect. AS she
pondered, she slowly came to
identify that chap quoted here.
Then she got busy.
What did we mean by saying
that Daphne Pollard, or any other
person in the world, had smaller
feet than she had herself? She
wanted to know right away, too,
gosh darn it.
1t was useless to blame it all
upon Dick Nancy. 1t was quite
impossible to point out that it
was Nancy, not this writer, who
made such extravagant claims.
There it was in this column in
black and white.
When Little Rosebud gets her
dander up, she looks more like a
full blown peony, and at that
moment she resembled a garden
filed with peonies, with a typhoon
raging.
So, to end this incident, Little
Rosebud will be there tomorrow
night for one purpose, to see
just exactly how small Daphne
Pollard's feet really are. And
whether or not Daphne makes
good Maney's assertion, Little
Rosebud is never, never going to
believe it. She'll remember that
she saw them with her own
eyes" and seeing is believing"
You'll all know her when you
see her pretty brown eyes aimed
straight at Daphne Pollard's feet.
That's all she wants to see.
It may be giving away q
boudoir secret to say that Little
Rosebud wears Ia A and believes
Daphne hopelessly outclassed.
Tomorrow the big league season
opens here. The athletes will be
tired after their days exertions.
There will be a ring show at
Washington Barracks. That will
attract some of them. But that
Skin show" at Polls should grab
most of the diamond heroes.
Oh, They're Learning.
TT AVING mentioned at odd
times the peculiar complex
of the New York sports
writer's concerning their opinions,
it is comforting to note the fol-
lowing in Sundays New York
News, written by Will Murphy:
"This writer's observation of
American League teams has been
quite limited, and it's none of his
business anyhow, but from pro-
longed peering at the world cham
pion Senators he feels brave
enough to say that the team that
beats the pride of Washington
will win the American League
pennant. Moreover, that team
will know it has been in a fierce
and bitter battle"
And here's another choice bit
from the typewriter pounded by
Frederick G. Lieb, of the New
York Telegram:

business. No doubt about it,!

case Of center against center, cap

However, there is more TO the

place, and may be distinguished,
one from another. by a close and
exhaustive study Of the Adams

In the second place, their pres.

CAROLINA GRID
7 { A NJ FOR
MARYLAND

The five-year rivalry of the Uni
versity OF Maryland and the Uni
versity of North Carolina will come
to it's annual head Saturday when
the Old Liners battle the South
erners in the Baltimore Stadium
In that five-year period. Maryland
has won three times, while the best
the Norh Carollnians could do was
to win two.
Curly Byrd's Marylanders have
lost their last two games. First
Virginia Poly came along and
snuffed out the College Park hopes,
and then the University of Virginia
did the same thing.
That means that Maryland is
battling to keep from losing three
games this season. Both coaches
respect the rival teams. That
much is shown by the depth OF the
preparations that are going forward
in both camps. Byrd is leaving no
stone unturned, and the North
Carolina mentor has his weapons
we'll sharpened.

Run Through Field

The Blue and White OF old
Central never looked bluer and
whittier than today. The football
team won a neat victory over
Technical, IS to o, and that &C
counts for the perking up Of the
school.
Central was favored to defeat
Technical. but not in the manner
that victory was actually accom-
plished. George Roberts was eX-
pected to shine, but not with
45-yard run to a touchdown.
And LOTUS, end, was not expected
to pick up a loose ball and hike
across the goal line. But all these
things were done.
Technical showed stubborn de-
tense. And Central was content
to sit back and await the breaks.
The first came In the first period
when Roberts. sQuirming ana
twisting, lodged his way through a
broken field for the first score,
The second came in the next
period and again Central scored.
Tech played the offensive game,
and Central played the waiting
game. It was Mike Kelly's idea
Of strategy. and, since 1t was sue
cessful, he is a hero. Make no
mistake, Central has a corking good
team, and one that will do a lot Of
scoring before this season Is over.
