Team All Set.
It's been an old story with the
Washington Baseball Club in the
past two or three years that the
lineup and roster of the team
has been practically set prior to
the annual trek south.
The same condition almost
exists this season, in fact one may
just as we'll say it does, as it's
pretty well known who will play
this position and who will play
that, and just what List of play,
The Washington times., 1933-02-20

ers will be carried throughout the
season.
There is quite a difference in
the makeup of the roster this
year, however. For instance, two
new faces will be in the outfield
in Goose Goslin and Fred Schultz
where in most past cases, the
same old guard held forth. Next,
the pitching staff will show, not
one or two, but three or four new
faces whom the fans haven't seen
everyday in the week, while the
catching staff will be compare.
lively new with such men as Luke
Sewel, Cliff Bolton and Moe
Berg on hand.
InfieId Same
No doubt the teams regular in
field will be the same as during
the past two or three years with
Joe Kuhel at first, Buddy Myer
at second, Manager Joe Cronin
at short, and Ossie Bluege, at
third, but even this department
will carry one or two new boys"
in the persons of Cecil Travis,
the Chattanooga recruit, and Bob
Boken, the Kansas City purchase.
All in all the team will be an
interesting one for fans the
league over this year. It might
be set as far as the regular lineup
and roster is concerned, but this
little item will be offset by the
collection of new faes who'll be
''in there" every day trying to
win the club a championship be-
fore the campaign is ended.
This "set" business might not
be bad item at that what with
all the possibilities the GriffS
hold towards gaining the gon-
falon this year. What team, in
the past, hasn't been just about
decided on it's lineup and roster
before a pennant was won? Very
few, if any.

Visitors Win Four Matches
Western Maryland went on to
win four Of the six bouts fought.
Throughout the contests, Referee
Charlie Short, of Baltimore, one
of the finest of intercollegiate
arbiters, was forced several times
to call the attention of spectators
to the decorum expected of audi
ences at intercollegiate events.
Despite Mr.. Shorts appeals, the
behavior of many of the people
present continued to be marked
by booes, cat-calls, vocal appeals
to one boxer to kill the other,
and decidedly personal remarks
addressed to coaches, boxers and

Should Barry win with the
usual officials sitting in judg-

object so violently. what
chance they would have to
throw out their chests and
say:
"See, our boy win wit dem

But do you think they'd

Must Win Decisively

AS it is, the only way Barry
can possibly make himself look
good now is to win very, very
decisively-by a knockout, at
least.
And if he loses with his
hand-picked judges - good
night!
And besides, since when has
the fight business become so
prosperous that the pilots OF
a 20-year-old can pick and
choose, where, when and whom
he shall fight and on top OF
that toss out three highly re-
spected officials with reputa-
tions for giving consistent sat-
isfaction?
We know all about the feud
twixt some of Barry's hackers
and some of the ring officials,
but we also know of the feud
between Barry's hackers and
the Portner's matchmaker
from whom they are right now
very glad indeed to get work
for their wandering boy.

When time for the meet to
start arrived, Coach Richard Har-
low, of Western Maryland,
brought out eight boxers, one for
each of the bouts scheduled.
Shortly after seating his young
sters, Coach Harlow was ad-
dressed by an athletic representa-
tive of the University of Mary
land. The two retired from the
main hall of Ritchie Coliseum to
an office near the building
entrance.
After the two had retired, the
crowd on the north side of the
coliseum booed and cat-called.

Soon Coach Harlow returned
to ringside and it was announced
that Western Maryland would be
forced to forfeit two bouts Of the
eight scheduled, thus putting the
Green TerrorS at disadvantage.
Maryland Informed
The reason assigned for the
forfeitures was that Maryland
refused to permit her ringmen to
oppose freshmen, due to Southern
Conference rules. Western Mary

WiLLOU Hunter Gets
A Ringneck Duck

Ben Walters of Willow River, re-
ported to E. B. Linsley of that viii
lage that he had shot banded male
Ringneck duck during the hunting
season. The duck had been banded
on January rs, 1888, at Avery Island,
Louisiana, by E. A. Mcllhenny. This
information was obtained by Mr.. Lins-
ley through the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
A bulletin from the Department
states that migratory water fowl have
been banded in large numbers at
more than so stations scattered over
the continent and have been recov-
cred as far south as the northern
part of South America. Small song
birds have been banded in still great
er numbers and many interesting
facts concerning their movements are
being discovered. This data is not
only of scientific Importance but also
it is of much service in the admins
tratlon of this valuable wild-life re-
source. The Biological Survey de-
sires to have report on every banded
bird and invites every one to report
such bands as come to their attention.
By means of these numbered metal
bands important investigations rela-
tive to the migrations and other facts
in the life histories of North Amer
lean birds are being advanced.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Last Friday announcement was
made that the government of the
United States officially had recog-
nized the government of the United
Russian Socialistic Soviet Republics
after period of sixteen years dur
ing which the two nations had not
been on speaking terms with each
other. Recognition was the direct
outcome of conversations and CORE
spondence carried on between Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Maxim Litvinov, Russian foreign
minister.
Almost Immediately the American
government appointed William Chris
tian Bullitt it's ambassador to Moscow,
and the Russian government APP
pointed Alexander Antonovich Tro-
vanovsky its ambassador to Washing
ton; friendly relations between the
official representatives of the two
countries-wherever in the world
they meet-were ordered.
Foundation.
Briefly said, the recognition rests
on the usual foundation of mutual
rights; the Russians undertake to
guarantee all American rights in Rus
STA, including freedom of religion and
church life; also pledge abstention
from political propaganda against
Americans or the American form of
government. In return, the United
States gives Russia corresponding
promises.
seems, very far apart in their view
points and not at all in their con-
ception of the goal to be reached,
both had reason to feel elated about
the result, for Roosevelt obtained
what he wanted, that is, a guarantee
of American rights, and Litvinov sue
ceeded in making the United States
accept his doctrine that problems
such as the Russian indebtedness to
America, credit and trade, etc., could
not be discussed until recognition had
become an accomplished fact.
Significance.
Re-establishment of diplomatic con-
nectiOn between the United States and
Russia constitutes one of the most
important events that have taken
place in international affairs for
many a day.
In this country it is felt that re-
cOgnition opens a vast new field to
American exports, and that the sig
nificance of the event is largely an
economic one. This is not lost sight
of by the Russians, but they are in
clined to rejoice more in the fact of
