WILL PLAY THREE
GAMES IN NORTH
St. Jossph's, St. Johns and
Rider to Be Met-OId
Liners Win Final.
BY H. c. BYRD.

FORGE WASETINGTON'S
4 " basket ball team leaves
~ tomorrow on a three-g game
trip North, which ends it's
season. The Colonials play st.
Joseph's at Philadelphia tomorrow
night, st. Johns of Brooklyn Fri
day and Rider College of Trenton,
N. j., Saturday.
No matter what the result of the
remaining games, George Wash
ington will wind up with the best
season it has ever had. The local
team has not been defeated on its
own floor, and has dropped only
one game away, that to Duquesne
at Pittsburgh.
1t is the general opinion among those
that have followed the Colonials' basket
ball fortunes since the days when the
Collif1owers were starring on local courts
that the team this year is about the
strongest developed in at least two dec
AIDES.
In its three remaining battles George
Washington may run into plenty of
trouble. The team should win from St.
Joseph's, but against St. Johns, and
possibly also against Rider College, a
different story may be told. Competing
against teams of the caliber of st.
johns on that teams own floor Is a
far different matter from meeting the
-nf-n1iY1n foopo ha
If George Washington returns to
Washington with two victories out of
the three games it is to play away it
should consider that it has done a good
job. And if it wins only one of the
three 1t should not worry a good deal
II 1t can come back with three scalpS,
then its feat should be given good
deal more than ordinary praise.
MARYLAND walked off with its game
1V1 with Johns Hopkins last night in
the Ritchie Coliseum by a wide
margin. As matter of fact, the Old
Line five won more easily than even
the one-sided score of 38 to "a indi-
Gates. 1t started out by getting 9-to-1
lead then allowed Hopkins to pull up
until the score stood at IL to 8, but
that was the closest the two scores were
all evening. After that the home five
pulled away little and had 16 points
against 9 at the end of the first half.
In the second half, Ronkin began to
break loose for all kinds of shots and
at one time Maryland was far enough
in front to indicate the game might be
slaughter. However, players began to
run in and out of the Maryland line.up
and the scoring spree was slowed down
1t was Maryland's last game at home
and the final Of its regular schedule,
during which it won 16 games and lost 3.
Maryland's freshmen defeated the
Hopkins yearlings in an abbreviated
preliminary tilt of two 15-minute halves.
80 to IA. 1t was the final tilt for the
Old Line cubs. who won 10 Of II games
during the season.

Marberry. This is the first
spring in the recollection of this
column, which goes back beyond
1923, when Fred made his bow
locally that he has reported at
camp unburdened by a lot of
superfuous weight.
Heretofore Marberry always has
shown up heavy and slow from
pounds packed on during a Win
ter of idleness, and, despite pun
ishing daily toll inflicted on him
by Trainer Martin, has been un-
able to attain real pitching form
until long after the campaign got
under way.
With Fred described as trim and
keen looking at the outset of train
ing and with two months in which
to prep he should be in prime con-
dition by the time the champion

Having bolstered the attack of the
club through the acquisition of Carl
Reynolds, the management has it fig
Ted that pitching will tell the tale
for the Nationals this year, and Mar
berry Is one of their main box re-
liances.
Another is Alvin Crowder, invariably
a Slow starter The General, for some
unexplained reason, has harbored the
idea that he cannot win early in the
season, and, as a result, it was June
last year before the Griffs' two mound
aces started functioning properly.
Provided Crowder can be talked
out OF his Spring inhtbttions and
Marberry is physically right phen

be able to get of to a flying start in

X Bayonne, N. j., may lose a
- very good traffic copper and
the Washington base ball
club gain a right-hand pitcher If
the tall, oose-jointed Johnnie
Boyle can heave and curl base
ball over the soup plate to fit the
specifications demanded by owner
Clark Griffith and his manager,
Walter Johnson.
But whether the curly-haired jersey
lte rookie does or does not plunge into
a place on the Nationals pitching
roster, chances are that good old Bay
onne, the city of oil, both political and
for lubricating purposes, is going to lose
out on one traffic cop for a busy spot
on the main stem.
II Johnnie cannot step into Grit
berth he is, nevertheless, going to
keep plugging GtUdy in base ball until
1t can be proved to him that there
is not enough fire in his right hand
to make the batterS cut out chunks
OF ozone.
Being a traffic cop was the Bayonne
boys pet wish. When youngSter OF
tender years he watched Bayonne's
/ finest strut their stuff at the corners,
and secretly planned to hold down one
of those berths himself, when his feet
grew bigger and his body taller.
But now that his feet have grown
to traffic cop proportions and his
body Is towering slightly over 6 feet,
Johnnie has discovered that he can
heave over a curve and speed out a
fast one well enough to cause his
ambitions to take on another wish.
Boyle wants to make the grade in
base ball. He knows that the chances
OF taking the flying leap from the sand
lots OF Jersey to the mound peak at
Grinth Stadium is a very, very difficult
task. But he is going to make the
plunge down here, hoping that, If he
misses his distance he will fall close to
his goal, near enough for him to make
the next step in another year.
Unless the big boy can unbutton
something which few rook hurlers
are capable Of doing their first year
at training camp, his chances Of
being Griff hired hand at 100
to l. Anyhow, that is about the
way Manager Walter Johnson fig

He is good boy, no doubt, and he
may get into fine edge here.
hope ne makes the grade" says
Walter.
Boyle, who was 19 years of age early
this month, came to the Griffs upon
the advice of his high school coach,
Billy Lee, former Tri-State outfielder
OF another age. Lee, a pal of Heine
Manush, Griff outfielder, sent Johnnie
to Clark Griffith in 1890 for talk.
Only a little over II years of age,
Boyle was advised to take whack at
more school work and then come to the
Griffs for trial. He followed instruc-
tions and stayed year at Villanova
College, where an abundance of pitchers
prevented him getting into more than
two ball games.

N lLOXl, MISS, February "a
K A Midsummer sun this
IL morning prompted Mana
ger Walter Johnson to tune
up his training camp activities
another notch, sending the squad
of IS pitchers and catcherS into
a drill usually reserved for the
latter part Of the week.
Anxious to have the young pitchers
in top form when the test of their
abilities soon takes place Johnson called
the squad for a conference with Mike
Martin, trainer, who mapped out a list
OF dos and don'tS for the boys who
are eating too much of the food which
the conditioner believes not good for
them at this time.
Mike furthered the talk by another
conference with the chefs at Hotel
Biloxi and from now on there will be
more of the sort of food Mike thinks
the athletes should have, and less Of
the other kind.
johnson explained the situation by
saying that the appearance in camp of
SO many boys in top shape causes him
to guard against setback by stomach
aches or sluggishness.
Today'S skirmish at the Biloxi ball
field consisted of a run around the
park, some batting and a hand-ball
battle in which the pitchers were
worked.
Medicine Balls Shelved
Medicine balls, on the shelves of the
club, needed SO badly in previous years
to take weight off the boys who had
gathered a crop of fat during the
Winter, are now sheathed in cobWebs.
Hard work soon will be the portion
OF the young pitchers" said johnson.
I'VE expect to get one good boy out
OF the pack who can go in and help us
when regular is out. To do this we
must work hard and fast to find out
who is going to be. There are two or
three shaping up nicely. Griffith with
Chattanooga last year is promising. So
is Ragland, another Chattanooga boy.
Weaver, of course, may be depended
upon to produce"
hand-hltting slugger, Is due in camp
Sunday and he will undergo immediate
tutelage in sliding, deficiency which
has caused Carl numerous leg injuries.
johnson plans to work persistently
on the former ChiSoX fielder, hoping
that his coaches can show the big boy
how to get into bag without bruising
Both Griff and Walter believe that
he can be taught the slide correctly.
Sun Finally Breaks Forth.
Just when the perturbed Tony Ra-
gusin, secretary of the local Chamber
of Commerce, was about to admit yes
terday morning that the sun had left
the Gulf Coast, it broke out into a
headline attraction and caused the
squad to get in overtime work in the
morning, summing practice on the beach
in the afternoon and some golf as
side dish. 1t was real day.
A volley ball drill featured the morn
ing workout, in which Al Schacht did
the complaining and Frank Baxter, the
club house custodian. did the off1ciat-
ing.
Walter johnson and Eddie Ainsmith
spent the morning posing for the Pho
tographers, handshaking and putting
on the old Sunday smile. 1t has been
IA years since Walter and Eddie walked
out on the field to do their stuff as
battery mates.

St. Johns and G. U. Prep to
Battle for D. C. Title in
Game Tonight.

ut. JOHNS and Georgetown Prep,
seeded Nos. and 2, will come to
grips tonight in the George Wash
ington University gymnasium in
the final and deciding game of the prep
school basket ball championship series.
Play is to start at 8:15 o'clock. There
will be music by the Georgetown Uni

st. Johns downed st. Adams, 80 to
10, and Georgetown Prep was a 1915
victor over Gonzaga in semi-fnal tits
yesterday.
Georgetown Prep is one of the few
teams to humble st. Johns this season,
having conquered the Purple, IL to IL,
several weeks ago at Garrett Park, and
the Kaydets are doubly keen for a win
tonight. Both teams are among the
strongest that ever represented the in
stitutions on the court. Win or lose to-
night Georgetown Prep's five is solid
with the school. 1t was given banquet
last night, presided over by Father

A cup offered by the Post will be
awarded tonight to the victorious quint
Two other trophies also will be pre-
sented. One will go to the most valu-
able player to his team" showing in the
series, and the other to the high-point
scorer. The former prize will be awarded
upon the judgment of the coaches of
the eight teams that started the SERIES
Referees Joe Mitchell and Ben Kali and
Athletic Director Jim Pixlee of George
Washington University.
Two potshots in the extra period
swept Georgetown Prep to its victory
over Gonzaga. 1t was a sweet triumph
for the Garrett Parkers, who earlier in
the season bowed to the Purple.
Howard Ragland, who was rushed
into the game yesterday especially to
try for long shot, in which he special

the extra period, while Bus Heekin
Gagged the other. Both were made from
long range.
Regulation play ended 1915 after
both teams had blown chances to win
the game on foul shooting. Lilly of
Gonzaga missed two free toSses shortly
before the end just after Allan had
fivvered on one.
