his mates this morning when he
said:
Good machines are some
times hard to get going. But
once they put on steam and
start clicking try and stop
'em."
General" Alvin Crowder will
get another chance to make
good today when he goes to the
box in the initial game Of Wash
ington's abbreviated series with
Cleveland here. Clinton Brown,
youthful Tribe ace, is to work
the opposing turn.
Six Runs In First
Though pounded rather freely
in games to date Crowder, al
ways bit off color in the
spring, believes he is ready to go.
Six runs in the first inning of
yesterdays ball game were suf-
ficient to down Detroit. But the
Griffmen, hitting on all cylinders,
persisted in piling up eight more
as the Bridges, Sullivan, Hogsett,
Herring quartet paraded to and
from the slab.
Young Bridges, something Of
rookie sensation. failed to
survive the opening round
Sullivan relieving him with
four tallies across. Here's how
they were scored.
Myer singled and Sammy Rice
doubled him to third. Alexander
fumbled Manush's roller and
Myer registered as Sam Rice took
third. Cronin singled Rice across
and sent Manush to third before
West struck out.
Bridges Relieved
Successive one-shots by Kuhel
and Bluege made it four runs
and Sullivan relieved Bridges.
Spencer had doubled Kuhel and
Bluege home before Sullivan
frightened and disposed of Fischer
and Myer.
Carl Fischer was wild hut Just
effective enough to stop the
enemy while Washington added
to its lead.
Two home runs we're included
among Washington's prize wal
lops. Cronin larked one of Hog
sett's offerings over the left field
wall with Manush aboard in the
fourth. In the seventh Bluege
rammed one of Herring's special
ties over the same barrier. Kuhel
was on at the time.
Detroit flared up with two runs
and four hits in the ninth, but
who cares. The damage was done.

Wild About Lacrosse

Ornstein doesn't even need
an invitation to discuss this
sport. The mere mention Of
it. and he goes into raptures
over it. Maryland is the only
nearby college fostering Ia
crosse, and in recent con-
versation with Ornstein, he
was particularly regretful that
Washington colleges don't go
in for the sport. He said:
ut is my honest belief that
GEORGETOWN, Catholic Univer-
sity, George Washington Uni
versity and GalIaudet College
should take up this sport. In
my opinion, it is one Of the
most interesting and practical
sports and there is no question
that WaShingtOnians would take
to it if the colleges and univer-
stiles here would give it a fair
trial.
Lacrosse has the same eie
ments of bodily contact that
makes football so coIorful. In
addition. there is continuous &C
tiOn like in hockey. and plenty
of passing, as in basketball.
MEN who have played both
football and lacrosse invariably
consider lacrosse a better game
than the fall sport, although
lacrosse and football require
much the same type of youth.

Possibly many of them are
hoping that the threatening
weather will continue to check
their daily hitting drills. And
here's why:
Field Is Covered
When the Griffmen reported
for their pre-game workout at
Navin Field Sunday a tarpaulin
covered the playing space. Con-
Sequently they had no chance to
get in their batting licks.
"a tough break fellows" Joe
CrOnin chirped. "HOw can you
get base hits before your eyes
on the ball?"
But jumping Joe" for once
was wrong. He and his pals pro-
ceeded to sail into Hoyt and Uhle
and gather themselves 16 hits as
Washington registered over De
troit in IL rousing innings, 7 to 4.
Just a fluke." the boys then
philosophical. And they were no
less pesSimiStic when overcast
skies cut off their hitting drill
yesterday.
Pummel Pitchers
Whereupon history not Only re-
peated itself. but in a still bigger
and more constructive way. Young
Tom Bridges, Charley Sullivan,
Elon Hogsett and "Kippered"
Herring surrendered no fewer
than 18 hits as the rejuvenated
Griffmen again romped away
from the Jungle Cats, IA to 4.
"Might as well pass up hit
ting practice for good" Man
ager Walter Johnson remarked
iaughingIy today. Apparently
we don't need it."

Yesterday it accomplished the

have the Griffs captured the

western iaunt of the year.
Also their splendid comeback
after losing that momentous
first game should prove hearten-
ing to followers of the pennant
aspiring Griffmen.
Griffmen Enthusiastic
No schoolboys could have been
more enthusiastic than were the
Cleveland-bound Griffs as they
entrained here last night.
Whereas a grim silence or forced
gaiety prevailed after their re-

PICTURES
IN FALL
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


Dutch" Bergman, athletic di-
rector and head football coach
at Catholic University, had a
two-fold purpose in mind when
he asked Bert Metzger, All-Amer-
lean guard from Notre Dame, to
assist in the spring drills at the
Brookland school.
One was to have Metzger In
struct the members Of the pres
ent varsity while the other and
more valuable cause was to take
slow mo- tion pictures OF the
midget Notre Dame guard who
slew giants on the football field.
Perfect Guard Play
Every phase of Metzger's guard
play has been filmed and the
pictures will be shown to the
Catholic U. linemen at different
times during the regular season
this fall. Bergman is of the opin-
ion that these pictures will be
more instructive than any black
board drills he may give and pos
sibly of more far-reacihng results
than actual lessons on the field.
'T regard Metzger, from the
standpoint of perfection in
play. as the greatest guard I've
seen in football" says Berg
man. Folks wonder that Metz
ger, who weighed about 155
pounds during his days with
Notre Dame, could take out
fellows who 0utweighed him 20
to so pounds. 1t was simply
knowledge and skill of the
game, coupled with football in
stinct as we'll as a fighting
heart"
That Bergman will obtain Cath
olic University recognition in the
football world is the feeling of
hundreds of alumni of the in
Stitution. The graduates have
faith in Bergman's ability and
judgment not alone in football
but in other sports.

CLEVELAND. May ia newly

games this season. Fred has been

Is certain that his "sinker" will
give him one of the best pitching
assortments in baseball. He rea-
