MD. TRACKMEN
BACK HOME

University of Maryland's track
and field team is home today
after losing two meets on a trip
to Lexington, Va.
The Old Liners lacked strength
in track events above the 440,
in the hurdles and in the field
events, as they fell before Wash
ington and Lee yesterday, 78
to 48. On Saturday the Terps
lost to v. NJ l., Sc to 60.
The Generals won 10 of IA
events to take the dual meet
yesterday. Earl Widmeyer, Terp
flash, scored in both the 100 and
22O, Evans took the 440 and
Thompson won the broad jump.
The Generals were too good in
all other events on the card.
Dunaj, of w. and L.. was the
individual star of the day. He
won the $50, the mile and the
two-mile.

No Accomplices Used

Claiming no occult powers
whatsoever and using absolutely
no accomplices, we have sold
ourself on the general theory
that either washington. New
York, Philadelphia or Cleveland
will battle one of the last-named
four National League clubs for
the worlds championship next
october.
Detroit is still in the expert
mental stage. Chicago got Sim
mons, Haas and Dykes after
Consie Mack had taken the
best out of them. The Browns
have what Washington has
had for, years. defense but not
attack, and you can form your
own conclusions about Boston.
SO, our exclusive, non-copy-
righted, sugar-coated, sure-fire
prediction for 1888 is that four
teams in each league have a
chance. Any one of them will
need plenty of pitching and
batting; the latter to compute
runs and the former to cut
them down.
Add to that formula the fact
that each winner will need a lot
of breaks we don't mean
fractures-and you have the an.
SWer!

SHIELDS LEADS
IN NET PLAY

PINEHURST, N. c.. April II.
Frank Shields, giant New Yorker,
was showing the way today to
leading tennis luminaries whose
performances in the annual North
and South championships here
will be taken into consideration
when the United States Davis cup
team is selected.
Losing only one game in six
sets, Shields won three straight
matches yesterday and advanced
to the fourth round. He will rest
today while George Lott, Cliff
Sutter, Lester Stoefen and other
stars who have been playing at
Houston, TeX., play their first
rounds and catch up with the
others.
Lott and John Van Ryn, for
mer national champions, are fav-
ored to win the doubles, which
start today.
The Washington times., 1933-04-11

Indications from Philadelphia
today were that Jimmy Foxx may
not play first for the Athletics
here tomorrow. Foxx has been
sent to a hospital in Philadelphia
with an aggravated injury to a
shin bone.
The outstanding event Of the
day will be the presence of Presi'
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, who
will throw out the first ball. Vice
President John Nance Garner
will also be present and his duties
will be the most unusual ever wit
messed at Griffith Stadium dur
ing the ceremonies of an opening
ball game.
The Vice President is sched-
uled to walk out to the center.
field flagpole with Clark Griffith,
president of the Washington Club,
to help hoist Old Glory while the
Army Band renders 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner"
He will then sit near President
Roosevelt and watch him throw
out the first ball to Joe Cronin,
who this year is the youthful
manager of the Griffmen.
Goldman Band Plays
Previous to these colorful cere-
monies the Goldman Band will
give a concert beginning at IL
o'clock. The gates of your
Uncle Clark Griffith's ball yard
will be open at II o'clock in the
morning, by the way, and the Gus
toners will be given the oppor-
tunity to get in their respective
seats early if they so desire.
after the Goldman Band con-
cert the field will be cluttered
with the noise of the Army Band,
which will arrive at 2::30 o'clock.
At two-thirty-five Vice Presi-
dent Garner will arrive, while 10
minutes later the President of
these United States, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, will enter the park,
accompanied by the usual White
House party, including an army
of Secret Service men.
The parade to the flag pole
will come next, with Vice Presi-.
dent Garner and Clark Griffith
leading the players of both teams,
while shortly after the trek back
to the home plate, President
Roosevelt will throw out that
first ball to Manager Cronin.
CrOwder May Hurl
BY that time it will be the
hour for the ball game to COM
The Griffs will take
their respective places on the
field, the first Philadelphia bats
man, Max Bishop, diminutive
second baseman, will take his
place at the plate while the an
nouncer will be shouting the bat
teries for the day, which in all
probability will be "Crowder and
Sewell, for Washington, and
Grove and Cochrane for Phila-
delphia."
A great occasion, a colorful . ic-
ture. That's opening day. And
this year it promises to be even
more interesting and eventful be-
cause of the several "big" men
On hand, known because of their
new deals" both
from a country's and baseball
standpoint.

IS AID
To LANDERS
TONIGHT:

Sailor Billy Landers, who didn't
like the Navy because the fighters
weren't tough enough, will. at
tempt to haul down Leroy
Dougan's riggin' tonight at Port
ner's Arena in an eight-round
mess that has the fans of the
Capital city buzzing all over.
Sailor Bill came to town yester-
day with his manager, Chris Dun
dee and Immediately issued a
statement that tonight's fight will
offer something different for a
change.
Mr.. Dundee told the same story
to fight crowd in Baltimore last
Monday night where he had
Stumpy Jacobs boxing Vince Serio.
OF course, they laughed about it
and told Chris that they had no
room for him in their insane
asylum. Instead of Chris being
mentally unbalanced, it turned
out that the fans had lost a few
screws, for Stumpy halted Vince
in three.
Five-ROund Victory
Asked what he thought would
be a novelty, Mr.. Dundee replied:
"Well, think Landers will
turn DOugan over in about five.
That would be a novelty,
wouldn't it? They haven't seen
that baby sniff the resin yet,
hey?
Lets get down to cases.
I've got Landers punching
murderOusly to the body right
now. / figure Bill will bounce
that right duke off DOugan'S
middle SO often in four rounds
that by the time the fifth
comes around he won't be able
to stick 'em up. Then all my
fighter has to do is walk over
and clout him one on the kisser
and we'll all go home. Fair
enough, amt it?"
The smart money, despite Dun
dee's predictions fingers toward
Dougan at to with plenty of
it in sight. LeRoy's masterful ex-
hibition against Billy the last
time was not forgotten in hurry.
He had Landers catching plenty
of leather and got out of the way
of most of the punches hurled
down his alley.
Distance FavOrs Billy
The distance favors the blonde
Norfolk flash, especially with a
boxer of the Dougan type in front
of him. Leroy is not hard to
hit in the late going. Eddie Burl
proved that.
Roddy Davis and Tex Mills
collide in the semf,windup over
an eight-round route. Mills is a
rough tough customer and figures
to give Davis plenty of guns for
his money.
Doug Swetnam, a great prospect
if he ever gets going has a tough
assignment in Calvin Calp. Four

They Play on the Field

All we have to say of
the races Immediately ahead
is this, to wit and viz: From now
on the advance dope doesn't
mean a thing. A team that looks
good on paper is very often
made to look like a circus on
the field. It's the work on the
field upon which they pay off.
We would go just a bit
farther. We do not expect
the Braves, Reds or Giants
to win the National League
pennant. Any one of the
other five can win with enough
breaks, because, as President
John A. Heydler says, the
National League is quite an
open scamper this year.

Bruce Cunningham went the

counted one run in the fifth
when Boken, Goslin and Schultz

sixth on singles by Stewart and
Kuhel, triple by Manush and
Boken's infield out, while the
deciding run was registered in
the ninth on Goslin's single,
Schulte's sacrifice and Kerr's

IL was IN CnlS CapaC1Cy CnaC "A
acted in Brooklyn last Sunday
after doing a clowning bit prio1
to the Brooklyn-New York Yankee
exhibition game in honor of Joe
Judge. In short, AL made severa'
notes on thu strength of the
Yankees this year and how they
might shape up in this years
race.
"I can't see where they are
the supposed best team in the
American League" he reports.
cit is true they defeated the
Dodgers right handily, but The
manner in which they went
about their work was not char
acteristic of all the power and
strength that's been written
about them this spring. Babe
Ruth, for instance, was terribly
off form at bat. Tony Lazzeri
was slow around second, Earl
Combs was uncertain in center
field and Frank CrOSetti was
still the erratic yOungster at
short"
81 must admit their pitching
was good, as Charlie Ruffing
and Herb PennOck had all but
Joe Judge off balance up there
at the plate. But something
was lacking i'm the other de-
partmentS, spark I guess, and
I'm thinking the team as a
whole will rot be SO hard to
beat after ell, particularly if
some extra fine pitching is
served 'em in those crucial
moments"
"The Griffmen in comparison
to the Yankees? Well. sir,
that's easy. Our team looks
twice as good right now. And
i mean it. Why. if we don't
beat that bunch and beat them
good and proper I'll be terribly
surprised. The powerful TankS.
It makes me laugh"
Thus, fans, you have some
timely dope on the 1888 Yankees
from one of the few who have
seen them in the flesh this
spring. Every word of AIS
opinions can be taken with deep
seriousness as he's capable o1
forming sound ideas even though
known by most baseball people as
a funny man and a partner In
that comedy team of Altrock and
Schacht.

Wrong Ballyh0O

Civic boosters often have q way Of
objecting to the publication Of un-
pleasant facts on the ground that
such publication does more harm
than good. The issue arose In Phil
adelphia the other day, and ended
In such way as to justify those who
believe that telling the unvarnisled
truth Is the more wholesome policy.
The Chamber of Commerce issued
q report boasting that all business
houses on two main downtown
streets had enrolled in the NRA. The
editor OF the Philadelphia Record
suspected that this boast was sheer
ballyhoo. He had reporters investi-
gate, found that Is business firms In
the district cited had not enrolled,
and published . story telling Of the
findings.
The result was that the l6 dila-
tory firms Immediately got into line.
And the Record pertinently remarked
that whereas the empty ballyhoo Of
civic boosters had stopped progress,
the active criticism OF the newspaper
had led directly to some much-need-
ed action.

People have been handing down

to be full Of people who just don't

It happens over and over. A man

Then. pretty soon. he starts flirting

There are tears, accusations, angry
scenes-and pretty soon the divorce

handled with pitchforks.
Most Of this, probably, could be
avoided il young husbands and
wives could only realize that there
isn't any easy recipe for the happy

made that way. They are built up
on disillusionment, disappointment
and sorrow, As often as not, and you
have to work with all your soul for
the rewards that q successful mar
riage offers.
