that Jack Hayes is expected to
be the regular second baseman
of the Washington Club next
season. Several others, notably
Stuffy Stewart, will be making
a bid for the berth, but the
job seems cut and dried for
the former Minneapolis speed
merchant. Fast as is Stuffy
Stewart, Hayes is little
faster and conversation with
those who know most about
what is in the, minds of the
club executives. indicates Hayes
has the cali even this far in
advance of actual hostilities.
Time will tell about this.
The winter baseball book an
nually announced in st. Louis
makes the Washington ball club
a 30-to-1 shot to finish first
in the American League. The
Griffs are figured s to = as pos
sible runners-Hp and 3 to as
potential third-place finishers.
In keeping with the off-season
dope, the Cubs and Yankees are
favorites to win in their respec-
tive leagues, the former at odds
of 8 to 2 and the latter at even
money. Significant in the dope
is the improved chances the Red
Sox are supposed to have as
against the outlook accorded
them by last winters figures.
They are 40 to ! shots this
season as against 100 to l OUT
siders for the flag a year ago.

fore, as the teams embark for
their training grinds, follow:

INTRODUCTION oE any HldH
sports page, was not the quiet,
easy-going, self-effacing Bluege
to whom fans are accustomed,
when asked has idea as to the
outlook for the Washington
ball club in the race which gets
under way here against the
Athletics two months hence.
BIuege, in other words, is all
het-up about the approaching
1929 baseball race, particularly
the opportunity it will bring
him to shine in a comparatively
new Yole-shortstop. Not given
to going into raptures over
baseball matters, but rather
pursuing a even-going trend
with regards to everything
which happens around him,
Bluege impressed us with his
enthusiasm over working for
Walter Johnson and helping to
complete an infield of which
much vii! be expected from the
very opening of the season.
"I don't wish to be guilty of.
praising myself, but ] believe
our infield will be one of the
best defensive inner comblna-
tions in baseball next season."
said Bluege. with that extra
week | am going to take at
Tampa familiarizing myself
with my new assignment, l am
confident / will be ready to
start the season on April. 10, a
finished shcrtstcp."
Bluege is anxious to be a
part of a double-p play combina-
ton that will remind the fans
of the Peckinpaugh- Harris
Judge trinity which had the
baseball world buzzing back in
1924 and 1925. He believes
Walter Johnson deserves such
nucleus with which to make
his first major league man
agerial campaign and Bluege
hopes to leave no pebble un-
turned to uphold his end.
One can't discuss Ossie
Bluege's chances of making a
distinct impression in his
newest niche without that feel
ing of confidence which is
akin to certainty. Bluege stands
out among workers on the left
hand side of American League
infields. He has ever been
equal to any task that appear
ed in his territory and medio-
Gritty in fielding is something
not associated with his name.
Those who witnessed Bluege's
feat of catching a liner far
above his head with his back
toward the plate and faced
toward the left field bleachers,
one day last May will never
worry about Ossie handling
even the most difficult drives
which come his way. AS we
recall it. Catcher Shea, of the
Detroit Tigers, caught de-
livery on the end of his bat
with all his strength and
weight behind it.
The drive was going past
Bluege like a bullet when he
jumped for it. He had to turn
in the air and face Goslin to
make one-handed, back
handed catch. 1t was some
thing to write home about and
perhaps that is the reason we
are writing about it now. Who
could ever forget a catch like
that? Freakish as it was, it
reveals that Bluege never quits
until he has tried every trick
known to the trade!
It isn't difficult to deduce
from conversations with those
close to the Washington club,

There Is nothing in a name
IL the Recreation Happy Five,
of Baltimore, is a fit. example.
The name. is a wrapper for
five sticks Of bowling dyna-

Julius F'riedberg, proprietor OF
the giant Recreation alley, has col
lected five of the foremost ten
bowlers Of Baltimore to represent
his establishment in the National
Duckpin Congress championships
at Richmond.
Their names are Ray Won Dreele,
Ed Smith, Arthur Waters. Carr
Eissle, George Eckhardt and Her
man Kullick. Each has been prom
tnent in Baltimore Washington
clashes.
Won Dreele Is the wild deuce
of the hand. He and Ed Smith
won the national doubles title
last year. Won Dreele's latest
triumplls include q lucrative
victory in the Baltimore Sweep
stakes I'm which he averaged
12O for 20 games and an unOf-
ficiaI record score Of 1856 for
6.game set rolled in = doubles

Red Megaw, Jack Whalen and Jack
wolstenholme. It's question
which of these will be dropped.
Three Washington bowling mag

Washington Ladies League OF ten
Bill Wood, boss of the 1 Lucky

places.
John s. BIieI1, the Convention
Hall and Arcadia mOguI, will
have teams Of both sexes repre-
sent these alleys, and also
girls team from his terminal
Ice Company.
Thus. the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress can have no kick
on support given by the business
men of the racket here.
Harry Winningder, proprietor OF
the Queenpin in Southeast, is or
ganizing a team to represent his
popular place in the girls events.
Effie Moore. Mary Cox and Ella
Limerick will be members. The
other two will he selected by means
Of an elimination tournament.

of the Prince Georges County Ladies
league. They are Ruth Bowie, 1aer-

garet Lilley and Frances McNamee,
the last named being the high aver
age girl of the league.

The Star announces its lineup
as follows: Charlie HOlbrOOk,

The Hilltoppers placed second
for the team championship last

for top honors this year with Nc

The tennis battalion will be com.

youth who last year took set from
Henri Cochet, the French star, in
the nationals Mangin is ranked
No. Is in the United States national

Then there is the smart Freddy

the tennis court, despite the fact
that he hardly weighs more than
Billy Johnston. the California

have Emmett Pare. occupant
of a front notch in Western
tennis circles and who has
matched his ability with Manuel

and this combination could be
rated as worthy Of championship

Georgetown University is

the Hilltop institution with a
princely slice Of the fame these

A look at the roster of the

of scientific learning uncovers a
honeycomb.
The gem of the Blue and Gray

Carthy, who has indelibled his name
on the games scroll and left his

Saluted as intercollegiate golf mon
arch. he is grouped with the head
