AWAIT
LACROSSE
MATCH

The opening Of the lacrosse
season today In Central High
stadium at 4 o'clock between the
invading combined team Of Ok.
ford Cambridge and st. Johns. Of
Annapolis, American champions,
marks the first appearance In
this country Of the English IL
that seeks possession Of the inter-
national Flannery Cup trophy by
winning a majority Of its II
games.
Officials from a majority Of
the foreign embassies here have
accepted invitations to attend
the match. Mingled with these
win be a. huge throng Of lacrosse
fans who have taken liking TO
the game because Of the speed
and thrills 1t furnishes. The grow
ing popularity Of the old Indian
game indicates that a crowd Of
1000 or more will see the match
There is no comparative basis
on which to base calculations as
to the winner. but the visitors
are expected to present a much
more formidable team than they
had on their last appearance in
this country in 1925. At that time
the EngliShmen, while revealing
a good passing attack, were weak
because of their ineptitude at
personal contact.
The presence of seven Ameri-
cans on the. English squad Of II,
....lree of whom are scheduled 20
start, indicates that the visitors
are perfectly familiar with both
the continental nd American
style of play. In view Of their
contemplated trip to this country
the visitors have drilled for some
time in the American style OF
game and yesterday polished off
t.leir game with. brisk drill at.
Maryland University.

FANS THRILL

Those who were fortunate to

are today discussing the thrills
they enjoyed at last nights bouts
in the Jewish Community Center.
The Jewish Community Center
won three titles, with the City
Club and knights Of Columbus
taking two. titles apiece.
The only cleaI1-cut knock downs
resulted when Henry Irving, Of
the City Club, pounded Gus Mir
man, Of the j. C. C. to the canvas
three times In the second round.
Body blows took the steam out
of Mirman and Referee Spike
Webb halted the affair.
Nevin Barber, knights of
Columbus, won by . technical
Knockout over Jack Ry0n, Of
the City Club, in the third
round. RyOn, though taking
. lacing, was out ON his feet
and his seconds wisely tossed
in the towel. II was RyOu's
second fight and he did weIl
for such . novice.
The best fight of the evening
was produced by Eric Sonnichsen
of the Knights of Columbus. and
William Miller, Of the City Clup,
which went an extra round be,

GOSL|N MAKING.
SPEED HISTORY

Goose Goslin, holdout outfielder
of the Washington Griffmen, is
making travel history today in his
effort to get to Chattanooga to
discuss salary terms with Presi-
dent Clark Griffith. The reason
for all the speed is the necessity
of his taking UP immediate train
ing in case he signs.
He left his home at Salem, N. j.
at 6 o'clock this morning by auto
mobile and 6 miles north of his
home, at Pennville, N. j., took the
Delaware Bay ferry for New
Castle, Del, at $50 a. m. After
the Commute ferry ride, he disem-
barked with his car at New
Castle and motored to the ball
clubs office in Washington, a
ride Of 204 miles.
In Washington he put his
car in storage and hoped
the IL o'clock express for
Atlanta, Ga, where he will
be met by President Clark
Griffith in the morning and
escorted in the latter'S auto
mobile to Chattanooga, where
the salary controversy will
start.
Goslin appeared in excellent
condition as he passed through
Washington today and those who
talked with him opined it wouldn't
take him more than a couple OF
weeks to be ready to play ball.
Secretary Eddie Eynon, who
only returned this morning from
Chattanooga and who is thought
to have been instrumental in get
ting the salary conference on its
way, was of the opinion the
Goose would sign.
He believes both Goslin and
President Griffith are in a better
mood to talk salary than they
have been at any time this winter
and the club secretary confidently
believes Goose will be in uniform
by tomorrow afternoon.

! It's too early to pass judgment
on the Cards, but If they knock
off both Villanova and Vermont
| it will be a healthy start toward
the making Of that winning team
for which C. u. is anxiously and
hopefully awaiting.
Coach Chick Gagnon has his
team all hoped up. Make no
mistake about this. The Cards
are a fighting and aggressive
nine. And they are playing smart
baseball, too. With the con-
/ fidence gained by their victory
yesterday they probably will be a
hard team to lick, for the win
seemed to act as a tonic to the
whole team and it may become
a habit.

Following Rolfe's double in the
third Hurley held the visitors
hitleSS until the ninth when
Eagan beat out an infield roller
to Walsh. The latter probably
could have thrown the batter out
had he moved in fast for it but
he waited and let the ball play
him. So the hit went in the
books as q scratch single. Al
though wild, Hurley was effective
and had enough stuff on the ball
to whiff 8 of his opponents. He
walked the same number.
Rolfe'S double scored Dart
mouths only run by sending
Clough over the pan. The latter
drew a walk and when Oliver
dropped MarucciS throw on his
attempted steal he was safe at
second. He completed the circuit
on Rolfe'S blow. Had oliver held
the ball Hurley would have had
a Shutout.
The Cards had bad luck in the
first two frames. They had three
left on in the first and two in
the second. In both innings likely
base hits were turned into outs
by infielderS drawn out of posi-
ton covering the bag, which
brought them right in line 10
snare two line drives. In the third
they punched three hits by Peifer,
DeMello and Dunn along with an
error and a walk to score q
cluster of three markers. They
added another in the seventh on
hits by Peifer and Gioffre.
Larry Peifer local lad who is
holding down center field for the
Cards, led the C. U. attack with
three SafetieS, one a SlaShing
double down the right field line.
Dunn made a Scintillating catch
in left. field and Johnny Oliver
dug a couple up out Of the dirt

Lacquer to provide the fielding

Mr.. Griffith has known r1gnt
along of Goslin's aversion to play
ing the sun pasture, but neither
party to the washington argu-
ment has revealed that directly,
or to the press, in the long dis
pute which has marked their
salary negotiations. They feared
it might reflect with the fans on
Goslin's courage, stamina and
nerve.

nearly three weeks ago. Goose did
mention that it wasn't any cinch
gazing at that old sun afternoon
upon afternoon, and then trying
to hit 800, but his remarks were
not in the way Of a complaint.
rather in the way of strengthen
ing his argument for a better
salary than the club had offered
him.
It has been very strongly sus-
pected among those close to the
Washington ball club that Goslin
has registered some resentment
at being made to constantly play
the toughest field in not only
the Washington park but in
many of the other American
League parks, and at the same
time be expected to keep up mis-
hitting reputation previous 10
1929.
Some have gone SO far as 20
hint that Manager Walter John
son insisted all last year that
Goslin stick in the sun field in
the face of his decreasing bat
ting record and that possibly this
situation is responsible for the
the report there was friction be-
tween Goose and Walter.
That the sunfield- argument
has had no little discussion in the
present crisis, so far as the
principals are concerned, is ad-
mitted now that bonuses and
personal feud allegations are dis
sipated.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April
Although Goose GoSlin, maui
ing outfielder Of the Griffs, is
heading this way for a salary
conference with Clark Griffith,
their contract war is still on.
In his wire to Griffith last
night the Goose specifically re-
quested that transportation be
guaranteed him both ways. This
means that GoSlin anticipates an
argument. And doesn't want to
be the financial goat If an agree
ment isn't reached.
While complying with GoSlin'S
request, Griffith intimated that
this get together was more than
an armistice, and that by con-
ferring he and Goose could de
finitely determine their 1880
stands.
