George Washington will be striving to
get in winning stride tonight against
Baltimore. The team from the Mary
land metropolis already has appeared
hsre three times this season. 1t fell
before Georgetown, but bested Catholic

are expected to prove tough nuts to
crack for the less experienced ColonialS

are expected to form the G. w. starting
lineup.
A gallant one-man offense carried
Georgetown to victory over Penn State.
With the Hoyas trailing, Is to IS, and
only five minutes to play, Dutton, en-
tering the game. broke loose to dribble
under the basket three times for goals.
Then after Capt. Freddy Mesmer of the
Blue and Gray had Gagged a side-court
toss to put Georgetown just one point
behind at 81 to 38, Dutton again streak
ed down the floor to score. He was
fouled as he shot and made good on
both free throws to give his team a lead

ing staff and outfleld; the rest
of the lineup will take care of itself.
The infield is believed to be fairly well
arranged with Del Bissonette at first,
Jake Flowers taking care of second,
Glenn Wright, the former Pirate, sta
toned at short, and Walter Gilbert as
signed to third. This plan would leave
Dave Bancroft, former Boston manager,
in the role of utility infielder.
The outfield is not so simple. Max
Carey will continue to act as first
lieutenant to the manager, but probably
will do little playing. Harvey Hendrick
and Babe Herman can hit well enough
to play on any team, but in other years
their fielding has left something to be
desired. Robbie has definitely decided
to abandon thought of having these
two Sluggers play the infield and they
will stand or fall on their outfleld per-
formances. Another outfielder brought
over from last year is RUDE BreSsler
and the three are numerically strong
enough to fill the outpoStS If they can
dispose of a small army of minor league
outfielders trying to break in.
Two Promising Youths.
Two of the promising youngsters who
are represented as ready for major
league duty are Max Rosenfeld, pur-
chased from Birmingham, and John
Frederick, who comes by purchase from
Memphis. Frederick hit 1856 in the
Southern Association and Rosenfelds
mark was $40. Billy Rhiel, who has
been an infielder and outfielder in his
day, is said to be a better hitter than
fielder, but his hard clubbing and ag-
gressiveneSs probably will win him q
utility place even If he fails to crash
into the regular lineup
With Jess Petty gone to Pittsburgh for
Wright, the honor of being the clubs
star southpaw must be contested by
Big Jim Elliott and Watson Clark.
There is no pitcher in sight threaten
ing to wrest the right-hand honors
from Dazzy Vance, leading pitcher Of
the league in strikeouts and effec-
tiveness. Douglas McWeeny and Rube
Ehrhardt will be back again with q
flock of young pitchers willing to ac-
cept nominations.
Win Ballou, former Washington and
st. Louis pitcher, was drafted from
Milwaukee and has a good chance to
do comeback. Ellie Dudley from At
lanta and Jim Richardson from New
Haven are also conceded better than
even opportunities.

WHIPS BRADDOCK
Fighter From Coast Is Given
Edge in Close 1O-Round
Engagement.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 1e.-James J..
Braddock, hard-punching light-heavy-
weight from Jersey City, has found in
the aggreSsiveness of Leo Lomski, the
Aberdeen (WaSh) woodSman, the
toughest spot along his road to the top
of the division.
Lomski forced the fighting all the
way in their 10-round battle at Madison
Square Garden last night and got the
decision.
The Jersey lad. who got this shot at
big-time battling by shooting in one
right-hand smash that broke Pete
Latzo's jaw, and following 1t up with q
knockout of fluffy Griffiths, found he
could not land his terrific punch on the
stocky Westerner.
Lomski kept coming to close quarters,
evading the dangerous right and pound
ing Braddock's body with jolting left
hooks.
A ringside consensus gave Lomski six
rounds and Braddock three, while one
was called even.
The officials were less certain, one
judge calling the fight a draw, while
the other agreed with Referee Arthur
Donovan in awarding it to Lomski.

ahead only once, when it held 1-to-O
lead in the first minutes, but Hopkins
did not gain fair-sized lead until the

After Hopkins held a 10-7 edge at
the half the Old Liners rallied to tie
the score at 12-all. The Jays obtained
a small lead later and with the game
waning Maryland was forced to aban-
don its zone defense and go after the
