FALCONS NOT CERTAIN OF
 STARTING LINEUP SUNDAY
Manager Smulski Plans to Pick Likely Candidates at Final Practice Session Tomorrow Afternoon Team Will Meet Plenty of Opposition From Bristol West Ends-Familar Faces to Be Missing When Squad Takes the Field-Game Starts at3.


 Manager Smulski Of the Falcon baseball team is uncertain of the lineup he will use to start against the West Ends of Bristol at St. Mary's Field Sunday afternoon in the first game of the season. Be- cause of the fact that the squad has been prevented from working out as scheduled during the past couple of weeks. he has had very little chance to get line on the candidates try ing out for positions nd. with the exception Of probably the battery places all the berths on the team are at the present time open.
 The squad will hold final work out tomorrow afternoon at St. Mary's and at that time Manager Smulski and his assistant. Bill Las ky. will look the quality of the stock over and will pick the various cam ddates who Nill start against the Bristol crew. The players will be picked according to their showing. according to the manager. and not according to past accomplishments. Tn other words, the candidates will have 10 deliver the goods 10 make the team and. for this reason. almost every berth on the nine will remain open until game time.
 The West Ends of Bristol will be expected to give the Falcons plenty of stiff opposition in the opening

COLUMBIA MEETS
 NAVY SATURDAY
Annapolis Crew Led by Big
 Tom Eddy Favorite in Race

New York. April c6 R1Led by Big Tom Eddy, one of the greatest oarsmen in Annapolis history, sup. porters of the naval academy crews began to gather here today for the mile and a half race with Columbia Saturday on the Harlem.
 Eddy is an ensign now and rides the steel deck of submarine chaser rather than cedar shell and partly for that reason the proud Navy finds itself the under-dog in the race speculation. Another factor in making Columbia the favorte IS the defeat of the midshipmen by Massachusetts Tech in their first start last Saturday and the pellet that old Dick Glendon, genius though he is. cannot in a single week create a crew capable of out rowing the well-drilled and exper- fenced aggregation that his son. Rich Glendon. is sending into ac- ton.
 The younger Glendon sent his charges through final finishing drill in a drizzling rain late yester- day afternoon and appeared well satisfied with their work. The mid shipmen are expected here this aft ernoon and probably will get their first taste of rowing on the Harlem at about the same time.
 The varsity race will be rowed a: about o'clock. the exact time de- pending on river conditions.
 Navy men are enthusiastic in praise of the NJ, l. T. hoatload which upset their hopes last week. The Engineers are favored 10 beat Princeton in Saturdays other row. ing feature. M l. T. is labelled a particularly formidable crew in rough water and while the Tigers were able to beat them by half q length on the dead surface Of Lake Carnegie last year. the Engineers ar. figured 10 have an advantage on the Charles river where thls years event will he rowed.

TERRIBLE SWEDES
 HANDbALL CHAMPS
Defeat Dunn-Manean Two Out of Three in Final League Match

The final match of the Y. M (. A opel doubles handball league was played last night when the Dunn Mangan and the Terrible Swedes completed their schedul of sames The Terrible Swedes defeated the Mangan- Dunn team two out of three
 games after very hard battle. Dunn and Mangan won the first
 game el-l1 and lost the second after
 leading up 10 the 18th point, 10 the
 Swedes l7-a1. The third and final
 game was won 21-9 by the Terrible
 SH edcs
 With these two victories the Ter
 rlble SWedes won the championship hy one game. Mag and Hawkins placed second and Dressel and Grove third Dunn and Mangan
 placed fourth. only one or two
 games separated the fourth and the
 first teams in the quest for high
 hcnors. Last night Dunn and Man
 gan demonstrated that they still can
 play hand ball and it will be many d year before their shoes will grace
 the peg on the wall.
 By many the league was Consid-
 cred the best prom oted. over fifty
 matches were played off in the past three months and the fight for first honors among the four leading
 teams was close with very little 10 chose between them as to their rela-
 tive ability. Early in the tourna.
 ment the Dunn- Mangan n and Dressel- CloWe teams took commanding leads one team winning IS games and the other el without q defeat. The
 present two leading teams Mag
 HdN kins and the Terrible Swedes
 experienced set-backs carly in the
 league by teams not considered' 10 have chance. But this only served as warning that handbaIl is hand ball and no game is won until 1t is over. these two teams took the play ! more seriously and soon were bat , linG for first houors with the rest
 Several new teams broke into the . league this year and though they failed 10 place. the experience which they obtained ir rhe competition with stronger combinations aav.4 them nen ideas 10 streng. hen their play and the next tournament will undoubtedly find them expected and feared.
 As in every league there springs up jinx. so in this one the Was kowltz-Strong team early in the tournam nt lowered the prestige Of the Terrible SWedes and the Mag. Hawkins team. Naturally one would
 be led to suppose that after taking the measure of the two leading teams there would be nothing 10 r. but strange things happen and for , some unaCcounta be reason this
 team went on the rocks early and
 was never heard Of again. The 1ntruders tnamely the Nog4l- S Mag team) went into the leagl- full Of pep and with the intention Of sweeping all before them. This cyclone turned out 10 be a summer zephyr, and after a few spasmod,c puffs died. with no possible chano. Of ever revivinz. The Dress-l-
 Grove team threatened up 10 the ! final matches 10 come through
