SPORTS
By KIRK MILLER

No little type and countless
hours Of conversation over the
winter were devoted to the gen.
eral subject Of how an interloper
by the name of Cecil Travis was
to go cunning for the third base
job which has been occupied by
one Oswald Bluege Of the Wash
ington ball club for over a
decade.
But it seems that the debaters
reckoned without the man whose
swan song they were singing.
While all Of the shouting was
going on about the necessity of
developing someone to step into
his shoes, Bluege maintained his
usual silence and awaited the
hour wr1en he would report to
Biloxi to see about this situation
in person.
Undaunted and undiscouraged
and even unprovoked by the
campaign to develop his success
Sor, BIuege went to work with
quite the same attitude that has
marked his many previous
spring efforts, and as a result
there is not the slightest ques-
tion in the mind of any observer
but what he will oe out there
around the third base cushion,
not merely when the season
opens, but for sometime there
after.
His Spring Hitting
He not only has fielded his
position Superbly, but has done
such a great job Of early hitting
he has had the fans rubbing
their chins and saying aloud:
"Well, there's nothing like
having an experienced hand
around when there is a mans
task to be performed"
In his exhibition game efforts
the allegedly weak knitting Bluege
amazed not only Manager Joe
Cronin and Owner Clark Grit
fifth, but undoubtedly himself as
well, with a sticking average of
.571.
In view of such a vicious as
Sault on the deliveries of the op-
posing pitchers, the question
arises as to whether those shat
ter.proof glasses with which Os-
sic equipped himself before re-
porting have anything to do
with his improved hitting.
If the spectacles actually have
helped him focus his eyes on
the ball it means the chances
of the washington ball club in
the coming race are immeas-
urably enhanced, because he is
still a sensation as a fielding
third baseman, with uncanny
ability to scoop 'em up on

BEAVER DAM
WINS OVER
CHAMPS
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


Dark days lie ahead for Colun1-
bia Country Clubs first team Of
the Women's District Golf Asso-
citation, if the results of yester-
days inaugural matches over the
Army and Navy Country Club
course can be taken as bar
ometer.
Columbia suffered a stunning
7-to-5 setback at the hands Of
Beaver Dam. However, Colum-
bia, which won the team cham
pionship last year, was without
the services Of Mrs. J. Marvin
Haynes, team captain; Mrs. j. A.
Marr and Mrs. Norman B. Frost.
Beaver Dam, which finished in
tenth and last place last season,
thus becomes not only serious
challenge to Columbia, but also
Chevy Chase, Kenwood and Con-
gressional. These latter three
clubs placed second, third and
fourth respectively last year.
Coached BY Spencer
Members of the Beaver Dam
team are Mrs. A. E. Fischer, Mrs.
Peggy Jones, Mrs. Morris E. Ir-
win, Mrs. Carl Mitchell, Mrs.
N. J. Waldron, Mrs. c. E. Purdy,
Mrs. A. w. Tucker and Mrs. D. r.
Hutchison. The team is coached
by Cliff Spencer. Beaver Dam
pro.
Congressional, which scored a
1910 landslide victory over Wash
ington, appears the team that
Columbia must fear the most.
Playing for Congressional yester-
day were Miss Helen Dettweiler,
Mrs. j. F. Dowdall, Mrs. H. A.
Knox, Mrs. Roland Mackenzie,
Mrs. F. G. Await, Mrs. H. H. Moi
fit, Mrs. R. Lester Rose and
Mrs. w. r. Bush.
Indeed, Congressional will be
much stronger when Mrs. j. o.
Rhyme returns from Texas and
when Mrs. Jack Scott joins the
club. Mrs. Scott is the former
Colorado State women's cham
pion.
Mrs. Dowdall, former women's
champion of Congressional, fea-
tured yesterdays play with a
brilliant Sc. This was exceptional
scoring, as Mrs. Dowdall, like
other local women golfers, has
played only a few times since
last fall.
Chevy Chase Wins
Chevy Chase got off to a good
start by crushing Indian Spring,
1912. KenWood overwhelmed Army
Navy, 812 to 312, while Woodmont
and Manor split, &C..
Rain greeted contestants as
they began match play competi-
ton in the annual Rock Creek
Park Open today.
The failure of John Connolly,
last years winner, to qualify for
the championship flight was the
big surprise. Connolly took 80 in
the qualifying round yesterday, so
coming on the second nine.
Connolly sailed along on an
even keel for the first nine in 80.
He dropped a stroke to par on
the tenth hole (the first on B
course) but retrieved this with a
birdie two on the eleventh.
The storm broke over his head
on the par four twelfth hole
where he took ii strokes. Then
followed a 4, Z and 8 for the next
three holes. That was 30 strokes
for four holes, just IA over par.

SEWELL ONLY.

ON TEAM
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

BILOXI, Miss, April 4.-Today
Manager Cronin's happy gang Of
baseball players leave for their
annual trek North, as much of a
championSip combination, if not
more so, as when the first day Of
practice was staged month ago.
The boys hope to go even fur
ther with this spirit as their guide
in the regular campaign soon to
commence, the actual date neing
April 16 when the Boston Red Sox
are met at Griffith Stadium.
To get off to grand start will
help them believe that their train
ing siege this spring has not been
in vain. To win the pennant
again will make them realize that
they're still the class of the base
ball world even though they were
defeated by an inspired New York
Giant team last fall.
Taking the entire training sea-
son into consideration, the grind
has been very successful. To be
sure, there's been occasions when
performers here and performers
there have looked quite unimpres-
sive, but on the whole the team
has trained itself into better than
average shape for the important
season to come.
One Casualty
Only one casualty is listed among
the entire group. He is Luke
Sewell, crack catcher, who injured
his finger in the Cleveland exhibit
ton series at New Orleans about
week ago.
All of the other players are in
good trim. This even goes tor
Bob Burke, Ed Chapman and Alec
McColl, who have practiced during
the whole stay here with ailments
of various sorts handlcapplng
their progress.
Chapman's lumbago was PROB
ablv the most serious of the all
ments as it kept the young
pitcher from training for about
a week. Burke's sore shoulder
was next, but like Chapman ne
is once more ready to pitch at
ton speed, while McColl-at Chat
tanooga right now-will be ready
as soon as that doctor friend OF
his bakes his arm a little more
to allow the stiffness to loosen
altogether.
Manager Joe Cronin had only
one eleventh-hour regret today as
he made ready with his men TO
lump up to Memphis, the first
stop on the trek home.
Lack Of Games
It was the fact thai lack Of ex'
hibition games handicapped his
pitchers this spling-an item that
he has resolved not to let occur
again n training seasons OF the
future.
Here's Cronin's words:
"The training season on the
whole has been a decided sue.
cess, but the pitchers would
have been helped just that
much more had we had bigger
and better exhibition games ON
schedule. So far not one man
has been able to go nine in
nings-and only because I've
had to give every pitcher .
chance to pitch at least three
innings in the few games we've
played. Next year, however, it's
going to be different, as I'm
going to work on exhibition
games as soon as the regular
season is over"
So with only this regret Cronin
and the Griffs made last-minute
preparations to leave today at
4:4O p. m. But before that, the
bulletin board'' had a lengthy
practice session on tap for this
morning.
Then to Memphis, Chicago
next, and finally Washington.

 with leanings toward democratic
 party principles that are prepar- ing to become organized into in- dependent groups.

 Alcorn declared his candiddc1 after, according to supporters, ne had assured himself there was more than q majority of delegates within his grasp. Wilcox was said to have strong labor and legion backing.
 As the committees continued their wrangling, delaying the oper- ing of the convention, there was talk of dropping Warren Burrows, Grcton, as attorney general. and Anson KeeIer, Norwalk, as comp tro1ler. There also was talk Of i'm cluding Francis Pallotti. former secretary of state, as comptrollcrs to offset the vote which will swing to Dr C. John Sattf, New London. who has been nominated by the democrats for secretary of state.
 Battling hard to regain the power the party relinquished four years ago when Gov Wilbur D.. Cross led the democrats to their first victory in IS years, the repub- licans were determined to select a slate backed by strong support.
 The party hinged it's campaign on a platform devoted to changes in the liquor and milk control laws and a restoration of a ''pay-as- you-go' system of administration.
 The action of J. Henry RorA- back, chairman of the state cen- tral committee. in throwing the nominations wide open" cou1- plicated selection of a ticket up to early this morning and there was little to indicate the swing of the 606 dyfegates to any particular candidate for any post.
 The New London county dele- gation of 6S was reported solidIy for Alcorn. Previously 1t had been reported that TheodoFe Bodenwein, New London publisher, had made overtures to Lilcox. tf- fering him the county vote if lie was included on the ticket as lieu- tenant-governor
 The action of Wilcox in calling out the militia in the textile strike disorders at Danielson and Putnam was said to have rung a diScuur- aging note in the conferences. The action was branded as ''too hastyss and was drowned upon in view of the lack of a real emergency.
 The hope of Wilcox that dele gates would bolt on the convention floor faded with the decision Uf the leaders.
 Figuring in the fighth to lead Alcorn to victory were Raymond F. Gates, state agent; Raymond A. Johnson. assistant attorney general; John Buckley. member of the state liquor control board, and state Senator Howard F. Alcorn, son cf the candidate. Their accord gave rise to a '.big four'' in the con- VA tiay, rapfereuce

 | Mrs Julia Smith and Mrs Ger trude Bowes were named members of the committees on resolutions and credentials. Town Chairman Pa1omba and Charles DeBisschpp were named to the committee on permanent organization and rules.
 Goss Had Headquarters
 Congressman E. w. Goss of Wa-l terbury, with his able secretary, Attorney Frank Sullivan, maif- tained an active headquarters throughout the convention Con- gressnlan Gess was in attendanee at most of the private conferences, as was Judge T. V. Meyer of Wa terbury. It was clearly apparent early this morning that Water bury's delegatoin would swing to Alcorn for the gubernatorial nom inatoin after the news sscs spread that Wilcox could not get the post that he sought.
 Wilcox Caught in Trap
 The fact that Lieutenant-Gover- nor Wilcox allowed himself to be ''cornered" on the calling out Of the national guard on the strike trouble made many republican leaders incensed last night and early this morning. They erie ticised his tact, pointing out thar Governor Cross was smart enough to step out and leave the Meri- den man in charge of the staet affairs on the eve of the state 6. 0. p. convention at which he was to be prominently mentioned for the gubernatorial nomination. It was argued by those criticising Wilcox that he should have been fast enough to step out also and leave the next in line for the guberna- torial control, Senator David Gold stein, democrat, of Bridgeport, do the task of calling out the armed forces of the state. The feeling among large group of the repub- licans was that Wilcox's presence on the g. O. p. ticket would be a detriment to the party in view of his action in the present labor dispute.
 Early this morning the name of Judge Raymond Baldwin of Strat- ford was prominently mentioned for the nomination for lieutenant- governor. There was much douht as to whether or not he would al- low his name to go before the con- vention.
