CUP IN 80, COAL
Of ARCAD|AN5

There's a downhearted soccer
team in Washington today and a.
joyful one in Maryland. just few
miles out of Washington. The de-
pressed soccerites are the Arcadians,
who are obliged to assume wait

Rockville (Md) hooters are elated
because they are the champions of
the Capital City Soccer League and
the proud possessor of a cup to
show for their prowess.
The plant of the Arcadians Is
that they might have won the glory
if two of their stars were not else
where because of their more profit
able athletic prowess in other sports.
The pair to whom the Arcadians
refer are the Clark broth >, Earl

The championship battle he
tween the two eIeVens had
been scheduled some four weeks
but was delayed until yesterday
when Rockville emerged with q

The delays were occassioned by
the fact that league officials found
the Arcadians had to play a game
with Fort Myer which earlier in
the season had been overlooked.
And after winning that one, weather
interfered on two other Sundays.

SUN BRINGS OUT
ATHLETES

With Old Sol beaming "a karat
approval, hundreds OF District COL
lege and high school athletes are
flocking to their various athletic
fields today as the business Of get.
ting varsity teams assembled for
the impending spring sports pro-
gram gets started in big way.
Hundreds of other school youths
not trying for varsity berths also
will be out enjoying the pastiming
and filling the air with baseballs,
golf balls, tennis balls, footballs ETC.,
the same as their more skilled
mates are, and will continue, doing.
Track, baseball and spring foot
ball training form the diversion for
the majority of the athletes. How
ever, out at Maryland University
Coach Jack Faber has brought his
lacrosse team candidates along to
where they now are at the scrim-
mage stage of their practices.
Undaunted by the fact that
the majority seek the major
sports, candidates for the golf
and tennis teams are welcOm-
ing the favorable weather in
unprecedented numbers and are
putting i'm their preliminary
conditioning.
With continued fine weather these
players are expecting to come along
fast and soon arrive at top form,
though no meets are scheduled for
some time yet in either sport.
The last appearance of any
Washington athlete in indoor track
competition will be made Saturday
night by Dave Adelman, George
town shotputter, in the annual West
Virginia track and field games at
Morgantown, w. Va. Adelman will
be the lone representative from
Washington in the meet, all other
local performers having abandoned
the boards for training on the
cinder paths.
The Catholic, University baseball
team, with a game on their. hands
against Washington and Lee at
Lexington, Va, next week. are
perhaps more eIated than any other
local squad for the warmer and
dry weather.
Their drills have had little
or no sembIance Of lard work
nor could Coaches MeAuliffe
and Clarke get a true line on
their men as to what they
might be able to do under
actual playing conditions be-
cause Of the weather handicap.
Coach Bucky O'Neil is another
who met the day with a wide grin.
He plans to send his Georgetown
baseball team through it's lengthiest
drill of the season today, and may
divide the team up and play a prac-
tic, game. The Hilltop trackmen
also will go through a lengthy prac-
tice session under Coach O'ReilIy.
In prep and high school circles the
day will be practically the same as it
is in the colleges. Coaches and ath-
letes alike will disport themselves in
a fashion reminiscent of colt kick
ing up his heels and enjoying life, to.
the fullest.
And here's the best news OF all, to
coaches and players alike. the
weather man promises continued
fair and even warmer weather to-
morrow.

Kan, a tall right handler who won
1S and lost 10 with Portland,
Maine, in 1928 and Edgar Carroll

pitcher. He is six foot three and
has a world of speed.
Carrigan also has Bill Bayne, a
southpaw, Bayne was formerly with
the st. Louis Browns and last year
toiled for Cleveland where his rec
ord was rather poor.
CASTOR, who pitched excellent ball
for the Browns for three years,
won and lost 12 for Washington
in 1928 and was included in the
trade that sent Third Baseman
Buddy Myer from the Red Sox
to Washington.
The Red SOx lineup will be
greatly changed as a result Of

Red Sox relinQuished Pitcher Bryan

,Outfielder Russell Scarritt. In addi-
ton, by right of selection, Carrigan
acquired two former Brooklyn in
fielders, Bob Barrett and Jerry
Standaert. Boston also purchased
Shortstop Hal Rhyme from Phila-
delphia
These deals make the Red Sox
seem more formidable than last
year when they looked promising
at times. However, just what
lineup Carrigan will use at the
start Of the season he will not
reveal at this time.
Todt, Of course, is a fixture
at first base but Bill Regan
will have fight for his second
berth with Standaert in camp.
WaIly Gerber, veteran short.
stop, will have competition from
, Grant Gillis, Bob Reeves and
Rhyme. Carrigan may assign
Reeves TO third base to fin
the shoes Of the departed Myer.
II not Barrett, who formerly
held that bag down for Brook

The Red Sox will not lack for
