MANUEL TRAINERS
ARE PICKED TO WIN
Game Tops Scholastic Card,
but Four Other Trays
Are Scheduled.

v vEADLINING the schoolboy
sports card here tomorrow will
be the Central-Tech public
high school base ball cham
pionship game to be staged in
the Eastern Stadium, starting at 3:l5
o'clock
In most quarters Tech, which scored
over Central last season, 9 to 4, is ia
vored to again triumph this season,
but Central team is never beaten eS-
pecially when engaging Tech combi-
nation and it is hazardous to predict
the outcome of tomorrow's game.
Sanford Ross, clever bespectacled
hurler, is certain to be on the mound
for Central tomorrow, but Malcolm Ed
wards, Techs new coach. has not de-
cided vet whether he will start Tack
Ensor, capable southpaw, or Spigel.
Brown or Sklar will catch for Tech
Heinie German, all-high selection in
1928, will be at first base for the Nc
Kinley nine, with English or Collins at
second; Wellens at shortstop; Hef1in or
Collins at third; DrisSel in left field,
Benner in center and Batson in right.
For Central Jorg will play the initial
sack; Cumberland or Shriver will guard
the keystone cushion: Fisher will be at
short and Brandt will be at third
White will be in left field, BlaSe in CEN
ter and Milwit in right.
Four other scholastic diamond games
are listed tomorrow, but only one IS
slated for a District field Dewitt is to
entertain Charlotte Hall here. Eastern
will meet Alexandria High at Alexan-
dria in a game originally set for the
Eastern Stadium, Business Is to meet
Washington and Lee High at Ballston.
Va, and Emerson is to engage Episcopal
at Alexandria.
Because of its consistently good
showings In the annual Penn relays
Tech High Schools relay team has
been placed in class B for the carnival
to be held this year April 26 and u.
This classification is a distinct tribute
to the worth of the Mckinley teams tu-
tored by Hap Hardell, as outstanding
schoolboy tours from various sections
OF the country compete in this class:
A one-mile team must be capable OF
running the distance in at least min
utes 80 seconds to gain a place in this
class.
HardelI is confident he has a team
capable of making a good showing this
wear if he can get his boys In shape
in time. He has in Jack Edwards. Al
bert Reichman, Frank Nobel and Mar
Gus Gieger a quartet Of worthy run
ners Who are sure to show well If they
are in good condition. Cole is another
boy who can step the quarter in fast
time and may win place on the team.
Tech has abandoned, at least for this
year, its idea of holding relay carni-
val under the auspices of the T Club.
It is planned, however, to start such
an affair as soon as the new Tech
stadium is ready for use and it is hoped
to make. it one of the most attractive
annual features CT the schoolboy track
season here in years to come.
Western was TO meet Catholic Uni
versity freshmen in base ball game
today at Brookland.
st. Adams was to open its tennis
season entertaining Episcopal High.
Down at Charlotte Hall there will be
q ball game between Charlotte Hall and

For any college in good standing, the

College athletes may take part in
competition not authorized by the

college certifies that 1t is amateur COM

WRIGLEY Confident
CUBS WILL WIN FLAG
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 16.-Two dreamers,
one whose dream came true and an
other who Is certain his will be realized,
were important actors in the Cubs part
in the National League opening today.
They are William Wrigley, jr., owner
Of the team, and Rogers Hornsby, the
Missouri farmer, whose big bat is ex-
pected to add the pennant-winning
spark to the Cub attack.
"Well, I have struggled along quite a
long time and have spent several mil
lion dollars trying to get team like
this" Wrigley beamed as he surveyed
his 1929 edition. But / believe 1t will
realize a dream for me-a National
League base ball pennant for Chicago.
Look at those boys. Not only do they
nave talent, but they have a. will to win
and they are hustlers. If they don't
win the pennant--well, we'll try harder
next year. But have a good bunch
they will deliver this time"
Hornsby's wish was realized several
months ago when he was sold to the
Cubs for approximately 100000 In cash
and players.
II have wanted to play in Chicago for
years." the Rajah said, land today am
here and ready to do my best to help
in the pennant drive. See that short
rightfleld fence? Man, how I have
yearned to get more cracks at that!"

ART FOR ARTS SAKE.

A critic upbraids Mencken for his crusade against Rotariansm and other Philistine customs and hoo- bies without offering a remedy. This has set some of the critics to the task of classifying Menckenism Albert Guerard writing in Books, calls it Art for Arts Sake" His contention is that there must not be purposeful interest in Art for Arts Sake"
 Artsakist (to use Guerard word) literature must not carry information, propaganda or philosophy That would indicate that we have little of it these days-asde from Mencken and Lewis (sometimes) and-who else? It would eliminate all the products of that school of writers so plentiful and popular now, who simply open the peep holes, turn on the lights and permit one to see the wheels going round and develop ones philosophies and opin- ions. Their writing carries information and Art sakists bar that And that lets Lewis out for most of his stuff
 Examples set forth to illustrate pure Artsakist Literature are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet All of them are preposterous, purposeless, devoid of in formation, philosophy propaganda.
 However there is an Artsakist literature that is vital But it is as Guerard says like the Mon- roe Doctrine 'it cannot be kept pure unless if be kept underlined" It is useful in combat but it is like the definition of patriotism which ayers that if we remove the enemy patriotism disappears Mencken is effectively fighting the foibes and ab- surdities of the Philstines Remove the foibes and absurdities and Menckenism will disappear.
 The Mencken brand of Artsakist literature is purely negative. There could be if there was nothing to negate. Mencken pursues the Boetan with derision, but pursuing is sort of following. If there Rabbits to make a mold there would be Menckens to fill its hollows.
 The danger of negation creed is that it may take the form of that which it nagates. It is contended, for instance, that the French and English fought Prussianism with such relentless furore that they Prussianized France and England almost did it. Mencken has fought buncombe with such effective ferocity that Menckenism is in dapger of developing lot of buncombe.

Tariff and Exports.
lCincinnati Enquirer.l

The free-for-all tariff war predicted some tune ago has begun in earnest On the strength o1 the mere proposal to tax wool at a higher rate ana put duty on hides, Argentina is planning retaiatory measures Mussolini by his own decree so much quicker and simpler than legislation has raised the Italian tax on foreign wheat as protest agalflst our apparent plan to dump our surplus wheat on the world market. Nor is the Dominion of Canada unaware of what is happening
 These things would have meant little to Am ercan industry two decades ago. But pre-war times are no longer satisfactory basis Of Judg- ment We need not merely the good will of foreign States but even need the buying power that their teeming millions represent We snail lose just that if the to build tariff walls goes on as it has begun.
 Throughout Europe it is becoming apparent that America was talking with her, fingers crossed when her representatives at the economic conference of 1926 argued heatedly against tariff barriers among European nations. Again it is apparent to all of them that we have no intention of using that advice ourselves. It is only matter of time until the barriers raising against foreign commodi- ties will be seen to be barriers against our own exports.

A White House Doctor of Letters.
(New York Times.)

Conferring the degree of Doctor of Letters upon Mrs. Hoover was particularly appropriate, for she has not only intelligent and active interest in matters of general concern to women as members of society and citizens but also scholarly achieve ments. The President of Swarthmore College speaks in general terms of her contributions to scholarship but they have been specific.
 Notable among them is the sumptuous folio vol ume entitled De Re Metallica," which she and her husband translated into English from the Latin of Agricola. It written in the sixteenth cen- tury and is profusey illustrated and embellished by wood-cuts of that period The translation was not easy, for many words not to be found in the lexicons. It became necessary for the CO., translator, her scientist husband, to determine in his laboratory the meaning of some of the terms used by Agricola
 Mrs. Hoover, for many years the head of the Girl Scout organization could not understand why there should not be Girl Scouts well Boy Scouts She had her training along with boys and young AS a university graduate she shared in the labors of her husband. She has shown herself in ways than to be what Ameri- cans call "a real scout"
