drive of 30 yards will leave
you, on the average, only lao
yards to 90. And yet with q
hole like this in front of him
the average golfer will exert
every possible effort to knock
off a 800 yard drive. Another

the average drive of around 200

CANDIDATES
WORK OUT
DAILY

After a lapse of a year Gal
laudet has again taken up
baseball and may adopt it as
q college sport again. Some
two dozen candidates for the
team are working out daily
under the watchful eye of
Coach Wally Krug.
The limited athletic fund may
curtail the schedule for the Silents,
but it is the hope of Coach Krug to
arrange as attractive card a.
possible, providing the faculty board
of athletic control Of the school in
dorses and approves of reviving the
game.
Coach Krug believes that games
can be scheduled with Catholi.;
University. He also desired to meet
George Washington and American
University. The latter, however,
will not have team since the ath-
letic fund budget for the year has
been exhausted. George Washing
ton does not have a varsity team
either. Notwithstanding this, Coach
Krug is undlscouraged and hopes to
arrange for games with other
nearby secondary college mines.
Among the candidates for the
team who look impressive IN
practice as bOxmen are MOnag-
han. HOkanSOM and Bradley as
pitchers. All three are right
handlers and act like they have
fair idea of what It's all about
on the mound.
The catching probably will fall to
the lot of Drapiewski, a husky
young receiver, who handles pitch
ers. Drapiewski also is a fairly
strong sticker and seems to have
the job without opposition.
The infield will present little or no
problem to Coach Krug for he has
number of fairly capable performers
working out for berths. Wurdman
and Lynch are battling for the first
base job, with the former appearing
to have b, slight edge because of his
flossier fielding. The other berths
seemed to be sewed up with katZ at
third base, Dyer at short stop and
Zfeskc at second base.

In addition to baseball, Gallaudet

AGE, Al SINGER
TRIM TAYLOR
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, March 16.-There
was no balm in, Gilead or ferris in
Al Singer last night as this bright,
young man got away with another
more or less implausible verdict
over Bud Taylor. former bantam.
weight championF in the second
episode of their was-it-or.wasn't-it
at Madison Square Garden.
The lack of ferris in Singer was
somewhat surprising to the many
who had witnessed with disapproyal
his successful claim of foul against
TAYLOR in the same ring some time
ago. The lack OF balm wasn't sur
prising. 1t follows every unpopular
decision in one Of the big town
big fights, and this verdict wasn't
quite as popular as a rising vote OF
thanks.
Kept under \ constant vocal
surveillance by Referee Tommy
Sheridan who evidently was In
there to see that NO more
sInashes down the foul line
were c6ue0 OUT Vi tAAO1E AAAAn0s
Taylor probably was hanapered
IN his efforts TO carry on his
body attack.
Yet he kept 1t going regardless,
and. IL he had been the man he
used to be. there would have been
no question about who was to get
the curtain call at the end. Taylor
was yards in front at the close OF
five dashes, But. unfortunately.
they called this one for 10 and
they held it last night, not two
years ago. Singer came awfully
fast after the gallant veteran tired
as gallant vets will and do.
1t takes pretty good man to
come forward when he has to.
Therefore. the question, much
mooted in these parts. as TO
whether Singer is another ferris
or another Leonard seems to have
been answered in this wise; he is
neither.
