AS suggestion for the lndlvld-
ual, can only recommend he
remember that baseball is only
a luxury, a diversion, and that at
no other time in history has it
been so necessary to make it
really diverting.
Must Dramatic Game
The old routine won't do. 1t
was all right for boom times but
today the need is to dramatic
the game and I can think of no
better way to do it than through
it's players. First of all, I'd sug-
gest that the umpires, consistent
with maintaining their authority,
be instructed to let the players
alone as much as possible. Sec
ond. think it would pay leagues
to establish some kind of bonus
plan for all clubs finishing bet
ter than last, so that if the
championship is settled too early,
there will be something left to
keep the players alive and inter
eSted.
In the first instance, it doesn't
pay to put players off the field,
unless necessary. The, fan has
paid to see this man play and
feels he is being cheated if the
player is too summarily removed.
Nor do I approve of fines, since
the club pays them, anyhow, and
the player goes scot-free. The
only thing, as I see it, is to estab-
lish suspensions strictly in cases
Of sufficient magnitude, for then
it is to the interest of the club
to see that it isn't punished
through the players lack of con-
troll.
Luxurious Players
To my own players, say, fight
the other team. not the umpires.
To the minor leagues in general,
suggest that they cease taking
expensive players on option from
the major leagues. That's one Of
our troubles now. Too many of
us have gone broke trying to pay
for these luxuries.
I've been identified with base
ball for almost SO years and I've
seen hard times follow good and
vice versa. With luck and good
management and a return to san
ity, We'll live this situation down
and be the better for it.
The American Association, in
fact, can truthfully say right now
chat, except in two cities, it is
almost as strong as it ever was.
It's receipts last year. indeed, were
only 80 per cent off those of its
peak" year and that's something
to be proud of at a time when
even the necessities of life cannot
always find market.

Spirit is the biggest and most
Important item to any school
in its endeavors in the athletic
field.
Over at Georgetown Prep
officials believe they have just
the right sort of this spirit in
the various sports engaged in by
their several athletic teams.
The recent football season pro-
Vlded an example, as one Of the
most successful campaigns in the
history Of the school was en-
joyed.
Now, it's basketball. And what
spirit! Thirty.nine answered
Coach Joe Gardner's first call for
practice several days ago and
even though he's cut his squad
down to eleven the same spirit
Is there among the boys who
were not fortunate enough to
make" the varsity roster.
Juniors Working Hard
They're at it tooth and nail
ito help make the Junior team
as strong as it can be. And
they're working just as hard and
with just as much spirit as if
they were among the varsity de.
pendables.
Such men as Mcnamara, Nick
and Mike Scatuorchio, Varesio,
O'Connor and Morse, star football
men, are practicing with the jun
ior team and the entire contin-
gent gives promise of supplying
the Juniors with the strongest
lineup they've known in the last
two or three years.
Capt. Maury Nee, Tom Keat.
Ing, Frank Allen and Charlie
Stewart are star performers now
working out with the varsity five.
Nee was All-Prep guard last year
while Keating was All-Prep for.
ward.
Those among the entire eleven
selected by Coach Gardner to rep.
resent the school this year who
look good include Sheehan, sub
guard on last seasons team, and
Carey, Williams and Mcmahon,
members of the 1882 Junior
five. Hannah and Mayock are
others showing up well.
Guard Post Open
Coach Gardner'S chief problem,
it seems, lies in the developing
of a guard to balance the squad.
Nee, mentioned above, is sure as
one of the guards while the re-
mainder of the first team prob
ably will comprise Keating and
Allen, forwards, and Stewart,
center.
The varsity is scheduled in
seven games before Christmas
and both Coach Gardner and his
boys are hopeful of coming out
on top in the majority of con.
tests. The Alumni were played
yesterday. A game with the
immaculate High five is to be
splayed tomorrow at Towson, Nd,
swhile Rockville High will be met
Saturday.
The Maryland School for Deaf
Is scheduled, December IA, Fred
