games between East and west
coast champions. True, Califor-
mia claims the edge in climate
about New Years time, but there
is no reason why a West coast
champion of 1888 should not play
one of the strongest Eastern
teams in regular season during
1884 if Washington had a great
stadium for the game.
The last word in stadiums, or
intersectional games for that mat
ter, has not been said, and in
few years to come it would not
be surprising to witness a new
Setup in intersectional games.
Not Very Satisfactory
Post-seaSon games, as SEIZED
uled at present, are not very sat

strain on the players. All these
games could be arranged within
the regular playing season. Apart

ton.
A factor in favor Of building
a stadium with public money as
an aid to unemployment is that
it does not develop any form OF
competition with business. The
stadium could be built on bonds
to be repaid gradually from a
percentage Of gate receipts.
Apart from football, it could
have many national uses and
during the course of a hundred
years or so could become free
of it's original mortgage. I ven
ture to say that many a college
stadium now built would still
carry a mortgage long after a
Washington stadium reached
completion and old age.

Orioles Sign Flynn, :
Local SGndLOt Star

They've often said that all good
things come to those who have
patience. It's come to Larry
Flynn, local boy, who has waited
and wished for a big baseball
chance for the past three years.
The Baltimore Orioles signed
Flynn today. This means that
Larry will go to training camp
with the Orioles in 1884, and that
he will be given every chance to
make good. The lad is an out
fielder and a batter and fielder
of particular note. He matric-
ulated at the old Business High
School two years ago. He is 10
and weighs 100 pounds, bats left
and throws right.
He played in the Industrial
League last year and batted 400.

COACH TAKES
GREEN BOYS
IN HAND
BY GARRETT WATERS

'NOw, we'll take this exer-
else, men. Get ready, arms up!
:: Go! One, two, three, four, one,
two, three, four. Hot"
Such are the shouts from Jack
Ray at Central High School these
days. Jack Is coach of the Cen
trail baseball nine during that
particular season, but director OF
physical training throughout the
other sports seasons of the school
term.
Teaching youngsters the rudi
mentS Of every branch of ath.
leticS is Jacks duties in, this
physical training work, and it
must be said he's kept pretty
busy. as more than 800 boys
report to the many classes which
take up each days program.
Far From Easy
This job is far from being
easy, as its chores will bring
out. However, it is interesting
Is Jack says he enjoys helping
this youngSter or that in getting
conditioned for athletics he will
possibly engage in later.
To direct youngsters in these
conditioning exercises, one must
be we'll verSed in the qualifica-
tons which go with the duties.
Jack Ray is thoroughly suited, as
1t may be realized if a peek is
taken at his efforts daily at Gen.
trail.
In the winter months. when it's
too cold to be outside, Jack sends
his physical training classes
through their PAGES in the Gen.
tral gymnasium. When the
weather is warmer and better
suited for outside work, he struts
his "little army of men" into the
spacious Central stadium, where
plenty Of room and all the atmo-
sphere necessary can be used to
perfection. Says Jack:
81 really believe the kids get
o kick out Of it all. At any rate,
they 80 about the various exer-
eises and games as if they were
IN the midst Of an important
football, basketball or baseball
contest"
Speaking Of baseball, Jack has
coached that sport at Central for
the past three years and in each
season has developed q team of
powerful caLber. The nine fin
,ished in a three cornered tie with
Eastern and Western for the in
terhigh championship in 1882,
while last spring the runners-up
berth was gained.
Tabled the Greatest
Incidentally, the 1888 nine was
tabled the greatest high school
team in this section of the coun-
try by Gus Tebel, head baseball
coach at the University of Vir-
ginia. Tebell made this unusual
statement when Central engaged
the University Of Virginia Fresh
men last spring at Charlottes-
vile.
Ray had Claude Cowan as his
pitcher that day, Cliff Keyser,
catcher; Leo DeLisio, first base;
Buddy Nau, second base; Don
Raub, third base; Shorty Chum-
briS, Shortstop; Lefty Chumbris,
left field: Bill Bryant, center
field, and Mario Gregorio, right
field.
A bit from Rays record book
tells that he attended Maryland
University from 1922 to 1925. He
was q star in track, football and
baseball, but liked baseball as his
chief sport.
Since coaching at Central Jack
has directed physical training in
between his baseball assignments.
And next spring he opines that
Central will put another strong
nine on the field.

He's as sweet passer as I've

It's passing, though, that sold me
