TAMPA. Fla, April 1.-The Wash
ington Champions broke camp to-
day. leaving shortly after noon for
Cuitman, Ga, where tomorrow they
tackle Hank Gowdy's Columbus
(American Association team. I'm
less the rain gods prevent, the team
will play daily games all the way
home.
THE training season has been a
success" SAYS Bucky Harris. Zone
or two of the boys have yet to
reach top form, but they'll soon be
there. The veteran pitchers have
surprised me by their excellent
physical condition. We need them
right at the start of the coming
race, and, as it looks to nae, they
won't fail u.s.
II don't like to make predictions
The way l figure things, we have
seven clubs to beat in order to land
our third straight penna1t. That's
the way 1t will go all season, too,
for frequently a tailender can knock
Q contender right out of pennanr
There are no easy teams to beat
On the American League any more,
nor are there many breathing spells
,
fight, fight every day, and the pen
nant goes to the team able to stand
the pace down to the end"
my lineup for the opening
game against the AS will be
about what it Is now. Joe Harris,
because of his hard and timely
hitting, will play right field. How
ever, Johnny T0bin is recovering
fast from his heavy cold and may
be ready by the time the season
opens.
ct expect Roger Peckinpaugh to
have good year. He has taken
his time about starting, which is
sensible. but he looks ready right
now. OF course. If anything hap
pens to him Buddy Myer will be
used. but Peck is my starter.
The most hopeful thing is the
pitching staff. The veteran regu-
lars are ready to open at top form
and. in addition, we have Alex
Ferguson and Curly Ogden. Curly
has surprised me. He could step
In there and start games right now.
His arm has completely recovered
from the injury he received in 1924.
weather pitchers they are likely to
have plenty to 10 this spring"
The players spent the morning
today packing their suitcases and
saying farewell to their Tampa
friends. All were pleased to get
away from the routine of the
training camp and eager for new
scenery.
Tomorrow the Griffs play Column
bus at Quitman. Saturday they
visit the Rochester training camp
at Waycross fofc game with Stall
ings' team. Sunday they will be
guests with Hank Gowdy's Column
bus club, of the United States army,
at Fort Benning.
The series with the Giants will
be resumed next Monday at Bir-
mingham. Tuesday and Wednesday
come games at Augusta, Ga. The
tourists will invade Atlanta next
Thursday, leaping out that night
for Norfolk, where they play Friday.
The tour ends in Washington with
games on April 10 and II.

In the first frame he bounced
a hot one to Pete Monahan. whose
peg to Myers at first base was
wild, giving Goslin a life. He
eventually counted. In the third
he poled a two-bagger to left only
to be run down and killed on
Joe Judges bounce to Myers.
Two were out in the fifth when
Goslin really did his stuff. For
the first time this year he caught
one to his liking right on, the
beezer. Away went that onion
bound for the Atlantic Ocean.
Mike Corn took one look and then
dug for the fence. The drive
cleared the race track fence and
Goslin had grinned his way over
the plate long before the ball ever
reached the infield.
In Washington that home run
would have cleared the lofty
rirht-fieId wall and might have
landed out on one OF those Y
Street roofs. It WAS . right
hearty waIlOp.
In the seventh, up for the last
time. GosIin hammered a terrific
liner right at Fischer. That proved
heyond all argument that Goose
had found his batting eye ana
he ate two orders of ice cream
for dinner In exultation.
There wasn't much to the game
the Griffs copping It. to 5.
Aside from Goslin's mighty slam
every run scored was unearned.

Baltimore's first run in the sixth
off CoveIeskie, and Buddy Myer Z

feet above Judges head accounted
for the two scored in the seventh
off Joe Bush.

through with his bad toss to MY.
ers. Judge and Bluege followed
with singles and two runs were
chalked up for the Griffs. Cos
Inns home run added one in the
fifth and the Orioles tied the score
on Myers bad peg in the seventh
The Griffs won the game In
the eighth. With one gone
BIuege doubled and Sandquist's
tumble gave Myer life. Tate
rolled to Sandquist whose peg the
plate was too late to catch
Bluege.
johnson held the Orioles to a
double by lilly Walker. Coveleskie
gave three hits and a run In his
three frames. Bush yielded but
one hit in his three sessions on the
slab. All three hurlers looked ~
fine form. Bush showing much
improvement since he last toed
the rubber.
Alright support would have
brought whitewash for the
orioles. However. its all In life

Spring football practice, Dorm
OF fierce competition, is offered Dy
the Woodworking athletes as q
sweat-and- blood sacrifice on the
altar of victory. Georgetown has

hone OF bOunteOus reward when
the Blue and Gray hurts itself
against the most formidable ar

history.
six hard games-with Pitt, SYRIA

Georgetown and over the backs OF
these the Blue and Gray hopes to
Chamber into a conspicuous spot in
the football sun.
Pitt. ever formidable, is early On
the list, and accordingly George

organizations. The coach, Lou Lit

for a northern camp to beat cool
weather in Washington.
Spring football was Of inesti-
mabIe value to Georgetown in the
making of it's great eleven of
1925. Like gOld-prospectOr ind
ing a pair of nuggets, Coach
Little discovered two real football
players among the sweaty, grimy
and ambitious gladiatOrs, whose
candles might have been hidden
behind a busheI but for the
spring drills.
One was Saur, the star lineman;
the other, Claude Grigsby, who
toward the campaigns end devel-
oped into a crack center, though
he started his football career as Il
back
Grigsby became a center by acct
dent. In the all-round football test
for the Waldron trophy, held an
nually on the Hilltop, Grigsby, at
center, made four passes, three of
them perfect, the fourth excellent.
Little carded that bit of work in
his mental index and referred to it
later.
Several prospective "finds" were
revealed by this springs practice.
One of these is George Cooney, a
compound tackle who looks every
inch a gridironer.

THE washington City Duckpin
Association il going forward with
mans for the greatest tournament
n its long history With the Capi-
fa1 civ Association, It's rival OF the
last two years, retired az least
temporarily from the battieIlela,
the older associations prospects
are roster than ever.
John Evans, the Capital City -
sociation president, announced villa
keen regret that It would be neces-
sary to call off this years .touTna a.
ment at the Kingpin, due 70 aI,er
effects of the fire that closed the

nY1esfion 70 hold It during warm
months, Evans pointed out.
He declared that the Capital City
Association will return to action
next season.
Given a clear field. the Washing

presented an opportunity to prove
its claim that 1t can put on a tour
nament satisfactory to the great
mass Of bowlers and Obyiate what
ever undesired features that caused
the formation Of the other asso-
citation.
II Is 4 common opinion among
bOwIers that IL the older assOCiar
ton succeeds i'm this respect that
an amalgamatiOn of the forces
on the two will result before an
other season comes. This, it may
Be said with considerable assuT-
ance. Is the hope Of majority
Of the bOwlers.
Old hatreds have become less and
less marked during this season and
friends of both factions have noted
the progress toward resumed friend
illness with great satisfaction.
It is believed that a wholehearted,
unified effort by the forces of the
two associations would bring an
unprecedented wave of prosperity
for the game itself.

right-eyed you will continue TO

think we can quite safely leave
MISSY to their care in case he
gets too rambunctious.
The human I'm going to write
about is You.
Can You stand success? Or
would you blow up as Mussolin:
is doing?
OF course, you think you could
stand success. We all think we
could stand it,
What's there hard to stand
about success?" we cry. It's
failure that's hard TO stand-noS
good luck. It's failure that makes
you cranky and peevish and
suspicious and selfish. Anyone
can be good natured and generous
il they're succeeding. Why. If
1 were successful YOU ought to
see the things I'd do. I'd give
every poor devil that came my
way his chance. I'd make a mil
lion friends And l wouldn't
boast or get stuck on myself
not me. Some fellows might.
Fact is. guess most people
know can't stand success. They'd
get so doggone conceited that no
one could live with them. But
me-I'm different
In short, the very conten1pla-
ton Of success at once begins to
breed poison. And success is
poison to most of US.
We can stand failure because
failure. unless it be too devastat-
ing. keeps us busy and interested
in something beside ourselves.
Also, it gives us the proper per-
spective on our own lives by
making US depend on the other
fellow.
And some very wonderful things
come out of the struggle with
failure. Humor. for instance.
It's the chaps with their over
coats in hook who are the worlds
prize humorists. sad as this may
seem.
Generosity It's the broken
woman who is down to the las.
crust Of food who'll usually share
that crust. and all her sympathy,

ANNOUNCING

The IGngraved Announcement

The Engraved Announcement
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Is it proper to send ont en-
graved announcements in the
mothers name father is dead
as Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Dunn, or
Mrs. Robert Dunn?
when the bride and groom
live in this city and go to New
York to be married. who mails
the announcements. the bride in
New York directly after the mar
riage. or her mother in this city?
3-When addressing the an
nouncementS to whom should
they be addressed?
Aft there are girls and boys
in the family, don't you write
their names in the inside en-
velope like this:
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Story,
Miss Mary Story,
Mr.. John Story.
A CONSTANT READER.
DE sure TO send the announce
I'D ments in the mothers formal
name: Mrs. Robert Dunn. This
is the correct form of name for
a widow to use-just as she used
it when her husband was living.
This is the name to be used on
her visiting card and for all other
formal occasions. 1t is very bad
form for her to use her first
name in formal details.
2. The mother mails them from
the city in which she lives. They
are sent in the mothers name,
and should be all ready to mail
after the ceremony has been per-
formed. Therefore the friends
would expect that they would be
stamped with the name of the
mothers city.
3. When sending announcements
to a family. you should address
one to Mr.. and Mrs. Robert King.
Then you really should send a
separate one to every member OF
the family who is old enough to
receive such formal notices"
This is the only dignified way,
since it gives honor TO each mem
Der of the family. Whatever you
do, do not address any to MIR.
and Mrs. ---- and family"
The way you suggest is better
than that.
