HURL|NG PICK
PROBLEM FOR
MD. COACH

Selection of a hurler for the
important game with the North
Carolina State nine this after
noon at College Park, Md, at $3.50
O'Clock, will not prove simple for
Burton Shipley, coach of the
Maryland University baseball regi-
ment.
Bill McIlwee, ace of the Old
Line mound corps, went the route
in the first game against v. P. I.
on Saturday, so it is unlikely he
will be called upon. Harry Mil
burn, who turned back Washing
ton and Lee on Friday, did effec-
tive relief work for 8 2-3 innings
to save the second game with v.
P. I. He may be asked to go to
the hill again today. Other pos
sible Maryland pitching choices
are Batson and Hauver.
Though Maryland has won more
games than North Carolina State
in the Tri-State League of the
Southern Conference, both teams
are deadlocked in the percentage
column. The MarylanderS have
grabbed six of their nine Tri-State
League games, while the Wolfpack
has won two of three.
Maryland is in the thick of a
baseball winning streak, having
annexed five games in a row.
Victory over North Carolina
State would give the College
Parkers a commanding lead in
the Tri-State League race.
The only other local college &C.
tivity today is a tennis match be.
tween Georgetown and Hampden,
Sidney on the courts of the Co.
lumbia Country Club. Hampden.
Sidney also faces the George
Washington netmen tomorrow
and the Maryland racqueters on
Wednesday.
One of the best college base
ball games of the week looms
when Georgetown and Temple
collide tomorrow afternoon on
the new Hilltop diamond at $3.50
o'clock. Temple has been power
full in baseball within recent
years and has been able to de
feat some strong Georgetown
teams.
Some Georgetown alumn
might be disappointed over
Georgetown'S feeble showing at
the Penn relays but perhaps an
explanation may soothe their
ruffled feelings. The runners do
not become free Of classes until
around $3.50 p. M, and are forced
to travel in busses to the George.
town Prep field at Garrett Park,
Md. 10 miles distant, for their
daily trial spins. The shift to
the prep field became necessary
when the old varsity field expired
as new buildings arose thereon,
while the freshman field was
given over to intermural sports.
Don't Complain
Then they must change into
track clothes hurriedly, take a
hasty shower when their work is
ended, endure a long return bus
ride to the college to be on hand
at 6 o'clock, supper time. Thus
they are not sufficiently relaxed
after the practice, but the ath-
letes are not complaining. They
know that Georgetown is going
through a rebuilding period and
that conditions will be far i'm
proved in the future.

It Is impossible for the exhibit to attend all of the fairs because of the confiction of dates, but an effort is made each year to accept as many of the in- vitations as possible so that the in formation disseminated on health and disease will benefit as many Connecticut citizens as possible.
 In staging this exhibition at the fairs, much prominence will be given to child health and the par ents furnished with information that will assist them in maintain ing healthy family during the winter months. Motion pictures will be used to demonstrate much of this valuable information as well as to depict special features of gen. eral sanitation, disease prevention, adult hygiene, posture and nutri- ton.
 Scales will be in place for weighing and measuring. for this has proved to be an effective means of contact with adults and parents.
 Leaflets on various subjects per- taining to health and disease will be on hand for general distribution. These are short and to the point and have proved invaluable to those up-to-date people who. re- fusing to rely on vague notions about disease, want reliable, scien- tific facts for ready reference.
 The fairs which the state depart ment of healths tented exhibit will attend this year are as follows:
 September 3, East Haddam Grange fair.
