Bucky Harris, pilot of the Griff-
men, says he is getting quite a
laugh over the opinion Of; the tour

sion next season. Their opinions to
the contrary. Harris says it is going
to take a lot of luck for any team
to beat out the champions
"As view things we Nave. add

need it." he explains. II don't

much more STRENGTHENING than
we have except perhaps Boston

I'VE are experinced If the fight
is a close one 1t is experience that
will count, as it did last season
when we won out. The Athletics
and Browns have been picked by
the syndicate seers toe beat us out,
but let me tell you the Sox with a
shortstop will be in there fighting
just as, much as any other team.
They play brainy baseball. Should
they get a shortstop their chances
are as good as some of the more
highly touted teams.
There will be no change, in our
system over the two preceding
years. 1t is to play our best every
day. 1t Is to win each game as it
comes along. In other words. our
system is the McGraw plan.

Central High School ought to
be well prepared for its baseball
season. The athletes of the Blue
and White school have been toss
ing the leather in the gymnasium
for a month, and now they are
working out daily in the stadium,
with the opening game more than
a month away.
Coach Mike Kelly believes that
the old uniforms worn by the
Washington American League
team, which he bought last year
for Central, will be seen in a
second championship for he figures
that his team has every asset of
winner.
Brains. speed, the punch. and a
plentitude of material are the four
things that Mike says he has moth
ing else but. The boys are playing
four and five inning games now
and every once in a while the pitch
ers hook one just to show ambitious
batters that they can throw other
than straight balls.
Central will swing into action
against st. Adams April Z. From
that time on the Blue and White
nine will be buster than the aged
One-armed hanger with the itch.
Just two days later the scrappy
Calvert Hall boys from Baltimore
will show Central how they do
things in the Monumental City, and
after that. the easy-gOing Univer-
slty OF Pennsylvania freshmen will
>e played at Philadelphia.
Mike has also arranged a, trip to
princeton for his charges. He didn't
have to buy any uniforms this year
and his whole appropriation can go
into other channels.
Episcopal High School will meet
the Mt. Pleasant School team,
April l, and one of the biggest
and most important games on
the whole calendar will be played
on Saturday. April II. Tech, the
is to open the scholastic series
against Central
Both teams are reported as haV-
ing heavy hitters in their lineup,
and they both have pitchers. Those
elements, augmented by the neU-
trial rivalry between the two
schools should either make for a
good game or terrible one.
Charlotte Hall, April 10. and the
Catholic University. April 21, are
the next games. Comes then, Mt.
ST. Joseph. of Baltimore. and fol-
lowing that, the second series game
for Central will be played with

Ball Foremost
As Prodigy
Of English
Links
By CHARLES (CHICK)
EVANS. ,JR

/ Il +
We are given to think that the
boy golfer is strictly an American
! product. The fact that so many
of the English champions are
niddle.aged or over, has led us to
the belief that we are inclined to
push our boys ahead on the course
while the elderly British golfers
endeavor to keep youthful Britons
ilI the background
But I have been studying a little
! British golf history. and am sur
prised to learn that John Ball, at
the age Of fifteen, finished sixth
lin the open championship at Prest-
wick.
Twelve years later he won both
the amateur and the open cham
pf0nslips of Great Britain, and
has a record of eight amateur
championships, the last being won
in his forty ninth year. Probably
the only: reason that Mr.. Ball has
not more amateur championships to
his credit is that they had not
been instituted at the time thaf he
beat the famous professionals. Tom
Morris, Willie Park and Munger
Park at PrestWick. Undoubtedly
he holds the record for early and
late golf.
In 1875 Horace Hutchinson,
then is years Of age, was ad-
mitted to membership of the
Royal North Devon Club and
won the scratch medal at the
autumn meeting, which carried
with it the captaincy of the club.
This meant that the young boy
took the chair at the meetings.
In his twentieth year A. q.
Barry won the British amateur
championship at PrestWlck, the
youngest player to achieve the
honor.
The most youthful player who
ever qualified at our national anna
teur was Bobby Jones at the age
of IA. and he. went to the third
round He was the only golfer IN
his teens to be in the first ten IN
the national open. l., however
had happened to win the Western
professional open when 10 years
OF Fage.
Z Francis Ouin1et won one ma
tiOnal open championship, de-
feating VaFdOn and Ray i'm the
play-Off Of a tie when he was
twenty years old, but he failed
to qualify i'm the national amateur
for three preceding years. The
youngest player to win our ma
tiOI1al amateur was LOUIS NJ
James. who was 18 when he
DIoughed through the mud to an
unexpected victory at Glen View
in 1885,

BYRD GOES AFTER LYNcHERs

II 1t appeared that Governor Byrd
was dilatory in action against the
mob that killed Raymond Bird. a
Negro. while he lay asleep on his
cot In the Wytheville Jail, Il was
because the executives views in the
matter were not understood. No
one was more shocked at the out
rage than he; no one was more in
terested than he in seeing the per-
petrators OF this crime brought to
the bar Of justice. This interest
was exemplified when he sent two
lawyers, one of them an Assistant
Acknowledgement of Virginia. to as.
sist the grand jury in its nivestiga-
tion. Governor Byrd believes i'm
community government. He hest
tates to interfere In local affairs un-
til 1t Is clearly demonstrated that
the State must step in to vindicate
the majesty of the law.
Again the Governed has revealed
his desire to see justice done in the
Wytheville lynching case This
time he has offered reward of
$1,000. supplementary to one of 800
offered by the Board OF Supervisors
OF Wythe County, for. the arrest and
conviction OF single member of
the mob responsible for the death
OF Raymond Bird. This is an un-
usually large amount to put up as
stimulus to citizens and officials
in going after criminals. 1t is a
clear indication that the governor
realizes the enormity OF the ogense
committed by the Wythe County
hoodlums and is determined that
they shall pay for the stain they
have placed on the name Of the
Commonwealth of Virgin a. In the
meantime, local authorities ade zeal
Gus in the pursuit of clues which
may lead to the arrest of men who
carried out the lynching bee.
1t IS unfortunate that this thing
should have happened. 1t is doubly
unfortunate that there should have
been two cases of mob violence. and
possibly a third in Virg MIA within
a short period of time. Occurrences
of this sort leave a bad impression
Of us outside the State. We know.
but strangers, perhaps, do not know,
that here in Virginia such lawless-
ness is abhorrent to all respectable
and all selfrespecting persons 1t
decent citizens to blush for
shame. Members Of mobs are doubL
ly criminal: They violate the law
and they bring the name of their
State--a State jealous of it's reputa-
t'on-into disrepute.
Governor Byrd reveals determine
ton to break up mobbery in Virgin
