in the exhibition games between

Luke will catch part Of today's

Barry Is ANXIOUS
To PrOUe His Worth
Before Home TOlUners

The strange case of Red
Barry comes up for local con-
sideration tonight when he
squares off with Freddy Fidu-
cia, the Newark IN. j. Italian,
at Alexandria.
Barry does his best fighting
in rings away from Washing
ton.
Just set him down in any Of
the nearby arenas and he
seems to get one of those home
town inferiority complexeS.
And the irony of this situa-
ton lies in the fact that the
Southeast lad would rather
register before audiences made
UP Of his friends and neigh
bors than to hear the plaudits
Of Madison Square Garden.
Ill at Ease at Home
Tommy Loughran, on the
occasion of his recent visit to
Washington, mentioned the
hometown angle of a fighters
career to me. He declared that
in almost any other location in
the country, he feels more at
ease than in Philadelphia, the
place he was reared and the
scene Of his early ring struggles.
So Red Barry wants to con-
vince Washington Tandem,
much of which he knows isn't
exactly positive of his abili-
ties or improvement since he
first came out of the Mohawk
Athletic Club to embrace a
professional career.
Red has taken decisions
from some pretty rough boys,
but mostly away from Wash
ington, probably the toughest
being the colored Unknown
Winston. Among his victims
by the decision route are
Charley Massera, Isadore Gas
tanaga, Charlie Berlanger,
Hans Birkie and Jim Maloney.
He has a win and a loss rec
ord with Matte Brown as he
has with Joe Sekyra. True,
there isn't a world-beater in
the group, but they're stepping
stones for the Southeast Red
head:
For this particular home
coming, Barry hasn't picked

PRACTICE LAX
AS OPENERS
DRAW NEAR

College baseball perks up con-
siderably today, despite wet under
footing and inclement weather.
George Washington University,
Georgetown and Maryland will
attain full strength Of squad.
Catholic University does not have
varsity baseball.
G. w. prior to today had called
only battery candidates. Today,
however, Coach Edward Morris
has asked candidates Tor all po-
sitions to report. April 8, the
date on which G.. w. opens the
season, against University of Yer
mont, is drawing too close for the
Colonials longer to delay work
outs for all players.
Must Prune Candidates
Morris right now is encounter
ing trouble in pruning his battery
i candidates. For about a month
some Is hurlers and half dozen
catcherS have been striving in
doors. AS soon as weather per-
mits the Colonials to take to the
out-of doors, Coach Morris will
bring his squad down to working
proportions.
Speaking of working proper
tions, Coach Ralph Mccarthy, Of
Georgetown, now has his Hoya
outfit down to % players. Of this
number, three are catcherS, six
pitchers, six outfielders and seven
infielders. Coach Mccarthy be-
gan with more than so candidates.
G. w. expects to have about so
candidates when all players report
today. Maryland's great baseball
coach, Burton Shipley, expects to
prune his squad down to work
ing proportions as soon as fea-
sible. The Old Liners, like G.. w.
and G. u, have been held indoors
unusually long.
Grid Work Indoors
Spring football work at George
Washington, Maryland and Catho-
lie University continues indoors.
Georgetown does not hold spring
practice until April II.
Both Georgetown and Maryland
baseball authorities are worrying
about Saturdays practice game.
Hoyas and Old Liners are sched-
uled to meet at College Park, but
indications right now are that the
tilt will have to be postponed.
With Charleston, S. c., as their
first stop, Georgetown'S varsity
golfers this noon departed Wash
ington for a Southern trip that
will carry them into Florida and
will consume week. Walter Ty-
nan, Dick McPartlin, Joe Lynch,
and Don O'Brien comprise the
team. Rome Schwagel, public re-
lations man for Georgetown, will
manage the team on the trip.
Georgetown alumni of Charleston
will honor the Hoya Iinksmen at
a banquet tomorrow night.
Tennis Tour Dropped
For a time hopes were held
that Georgetown's tennis team
would make the trip, but failure
to arrange two more matches
caused the plan to be abandoned.
Maryland's varsity lacrosse team,
like all other college outfits here
