Pilots Errors Cost
VictOrV MD.C.D Debut

The washington Pilots, Of the
East-West League, were every
thing but impressive in making
their home debut here yesterday
with the Hillsdale team, of Phila-
delphia, and therefore lost the
initial contest, to 2.
Even the presence of Vice
President Curtis, who tossed out
the first ball amid gala cere-
monies, failed to add any squirt to
the home team, whose playing
and fielding was almost like that
Of a high school nine. Neither
team scored in the first inning,
but the visitors began their march
in the second frame and con-
tinUed throughout the rest Of the
contest. The Pilots piled up eight
errors, four being credited to
Bryant, shortstop. Hits were few
and scattered, the Hillsdale boys
getting six and the Pilots eight.

pected to be present today when
the Pilots play the Cuban Stars

ten innings, he had to have a
base hit to bring in a run. The
situation presented itself in the
tenth inning with the aisles
jammed and Moe Berg, well
known weak batsman, due to stalk
to the plate.
What must he do? Let Berg
bat for himself because Spencer
WS already out of the game and
only the youngster Howard Maple
left on the bench to catch?
Decides Quickly
johnson decided quickly. He
called for Dave Harris to bat for
Berg, gambling on the chance
that Dave would come through
for him and that Howard Maple
would be able to hold Big Fred
Marberry's shoots during the last
part of the tenth.
The gamble turned out to be
a success, as Harris singled
Reynolds across from third, and
Maple caught excellently in the
tenth-bringing out the fact that
johnson was in there.
In the second game this now
familiar strategy presented itself
again and like before, the youth
full Howard Maple was the cause
of it all. johnson needed one
run to tie the score at TT, this
time in a Seventh-inning rally
which was a rally if there ever
was one. Here as before it was
Moe Berg's turn to come to bat
with the bases full.
johnson figured. Should he
put up a pinch hitter and gamble
with Maple behind the bat again?
He decided he would. Joe Kuhel
was substituted for Berg at bat
and walked, forcing in West with
what was the tying run of the
game at the time.
Maple Catches Well
Maple went behind the plate
after the inning was over and
proceeded to turn in another nice
effort with Lefty Lloyd Brown
pitching to him.
Yes, sir, Johnson gambled yes
terday, but he trtumphed, and
what a pair of triumphs, as not
only he but every man under his
wing will tell you.
1t would take too long here to
describe how the runs were scored
during the two games. But it can
be said that they were scored and
very nicely when they were most
needed. Big Fred Marberry
pitched splendidly as General

the lineup contributed his share
to the victories in each game.
Probably Manush'S and Reynolds
bingles were the most timely in
the first contest, as they were run

West and Judge, in the second
encounter, were outstanding be-

story. And maybe "Our Griff-

Slight to Public

BY placing a barrier Of ST.
lence twixt the performers and
the paying customers, the Ma
tional League has discovered
that a very sacred unwritten
law Of the game has been vio-
lated, and it is to be congratu-
lated on being the first to undo
the unintentional slight to the
gentry which makes the
wheels of baseball-otherwise
the turnstileS-revolve.
The sooner President Will
fam Harridge and his Ameri-
can League directors realize
the same mistake and lift the
ban of coldness which at pres.
ent must exist between those
on the field and those on the
edge Of it, the better for Wash
ington and the other teams
in our circuit.
Baseball was Graded on the
intimacy which off moments
previous. during and after the
game afforded player and on
locker to become acquainted.
This fellowship and friendli-
ness that has existed up until
this year, has been one of the
foundation stones Of the sport
and what the magnates ever
were thinking about when they
voted such an inhibition is i'm
possible to conceive
America being so typically
a hero-worshiping nation, it
seems quite natural that its
baseball heroes should not be
kept aloof from their subjects.
Yet both baseball leagues have
seen fit to keep the wolves
away from the lambs for so
minutes before game time and
until the game is over.

Falters ON Second Nine
However, Mrs. Meckley showed
little effects from this injury on
the first nine, the end of which
found both players all even. II
was on the second nine that Mrs
Meckley's game collapsed, losing
five straight holes to go down
to defeat. She was Z, 5, Z, 8,
for these five holes.
Mrs. Haynes played fine golf
particularly on the first nine, tc
defeat Mrs. Ora Emge, Beaver

ONE OVER PAR
FOR SIXTEEN
HOLES
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

by OEOhOE "A. SANAE DUN
Roland Mackenzie, making his
first appearance in local tourna-
ment match play for several sea-
sons, proved to an enthusiastic
gallery that he has lost none Of
his old golf skill.
He played sound and steady golf
to defeat the Stolid Bradley H.
Tied" Burrows, 4 and 2, in the
second round of the Chevy Chase
tourney yesterday afternoon. Bur
rows, whose nerves are like steel,
is not one who lets the reputa-
ton of his opponent get the better
of him.
Superior putting brought Mac
kenzie home ahead Of his rugged
foe for the Columbia player used
but II puts on the last seven
holes, three being one-putt greens,
and was but one over par for the
entire 16 holes. He and Burrows
played out the seventeenth where
on Mackenzie got his par 4 by the
medium Of a single putt.
Nip-and-Tuck Struggle
They didn't play out the
eighteenth but all Mackenzie
needed on this hole for a 10
was a par 4. Not many golfers
have covered that lengthy Chevy
Chase course in 10 within recent
years, that is. in tournament play.
Mackenzie and Burrows were
nip-and-tuck over the first nine,
the former reaching the turn in
36 and Burrows taking 81. This
left Mackenzie one up. Burrows
evened the match by winning
the short tenth with a par 3
whereon Mackenzie overdrove the
green and completely missed the
green with his chip shot.
Mackenzie regained the lead
at the eleventh where Burrows
was short with his second, taking
S. A long putt on the twelfth
after being in two traps saved
Mackenzie the loss of the hole
after Burrows had played a bril-
liant No. 3 iron shot from the
rough to the green.
Brilliant Brassie Shot
The two halved the thirteenth
while Mackenzie captured the
fourteenth with a single putt
after both had overapproached
the green. A birdie three on the
fifteenth placed Mackenzie three
up, his braSSie shot, one of the
greatest shots in the tournament,
landing two feet from the hole.
The match terminated on the
sixteenth when Burrows was short
of the green and required two
puts, Mackenzie getting par 4.
Harry G. Pitt, of Manor Club
and District amateur champion,
came from behind to defeat w.
Byrn CurtiSS, Indian Spring and
Duke University, 3 and 2, in the
morning round. Pitt was three
down after the first five holes
were played but gnawed this lead
to one after they had passed the
turn. He crept into the lead at
the twelfth with a par 4 and

To SHOW IN
MEET HERE
BY HARRY COSTELLO

BY HARRY COSTELLO
One of Americas three greatest
jaVelin throwers will perform in
Washington tomorrow.
He is George Williams, of
Hampton College, Hampton, Va,
He will be listed among the
$50 or more athletes who will
compete in the annual track
and field championships of the
Colored intercollegiate Athletic
Association.
The meet will be held in the
Howard University Stadium.
Trials will start in the morning
at 10 o'clock and the finals in
the afternoon at one o'clock.
Certain Olympic Member
Williams, winner of the javelin
throw in the Penn Relay Carni'
vals of 1881 and 1882, is almost
certain to be a member of the
American Olympic team at Los
Angeles. He has done better
than 2O5 feet in the javelin throw
Eight college teams will com
pete in the intercollegiate meet
They are Howard University,
Washington; Hampton, Hampton,
Va: Virginia Union, Richmond
Va: johnson C. Smith University,
Charlotte, N. c.; Agricultural and
Technical College, Greensboro,
N. c.: Virginia State, Petersburg,
va: St. Paul, Lawrenceville, Va.
Lincoln University will be alb
sent from this years meet. This
institutions is under suspension
for playing an ineligible against
Howard in last falls football
game.
SchOOlboy Meet Listed
An interscholastic meet, involv-
ing athletes representing a num-
ber of colored high schools, will
be conducted at the same time as
the intercollegiate meet.
Great interest, national in scope,
is attached to this c. I. A. A.
meet. A number of great athletes
are annually uncovered in this
competition, which IN its sphere
is another Penn Relay Carnival.
The class of performers this year,
it is reported, is brilliant.
Howard's great medley relay
team, which holds the champion
ship at present. is expected to be
tested to the limit by several
teams who are out to dethrone
Howard.
Howard Candidate
The high Jump is also expected
to, uncover an athlete worthy OF
Olympic consideration. Davis, OF
Howard, who was expected to
reach almost world championship
form, has failed to live to ad-
vance notices. However, it is pos
sible that he will improve upon
his recent performances which
have all been around 6 feet 2
inches. Many persons who fol
lowed Davis school career ex-
pected him to Jump better than
6 feet 6 inches in college.
The c. I. A. A. meet has for
many years been an attractive
event. Tomorrow's is expected to
surpass all others. The records
Of the C. I. A. A. champions
compare favorably with the best
intercollegiate marks of the ma
ton.
Tomorrow's meet is expected to
draw the seasons largest crowd.
George Williams Snould prove
a magnet to draw many persons
to the Howard Stadium. Some
experts think he may break the
worlds record tomorrow in the
javelin. 1t is said that he is
capable of doing so if he reaches
top form.
