Oh. dear Junior. how we miss you

MARKS PLAYOFF

MONTREAL, March 21.-Three
stirring periods Of world series
hockey today had failed to give
either the New York Rangers or
the Montreal MaroonS an ad-
vantage in their Stanley Cup
playoff series.
The teams battled to a 90
deadlock at the forum last night,
and inasmuch as the series is to
be decided on the basis Of goals
it can be seen that both aggrega-
tions are right where they started.
The second and final contest OF
the series will be played in New

IN GRID DRILL
At BUCKNELL

LEWISBURG, Pa, March 81.
Forty-seven players greeted z. E.
Mylin when he took up his duties
as Bucknell's head football coach
at the opening spring drill.
Apparently, Mylin will lose little
time in getting the men accus-
toned to strenuous practice ses-
Sions. The candidates were in
uniform about an hour and a
half today, going through calls
themes and a drill in passing
and punting.
Mylin's system, an adoption Of
the Warner plan, is similar to
that used by his predecessor,
Carl Snavely. The new mentor
appeared pleased with the mate
rial on hand. In the group
were 16 letter men.

Crowd To Follow Jones
Most of the hurrying crowd
will be gripped by a desire to
see whether Jones is playing as
badly as has been paint d.
Bobby's magic putter is supposed
to have turned into rubber
whip and his booming driver
gone down with a case of the
ricketS.
His game, in clubhouse con-
verSation the last day or so, has
been referred to in the past
tense more often than not.
Bobby and Ed Dudley, Augusta
pro, were beaten yesterday by
Runyan, 25-year-old New Jersey
youngster, and Horton Smith,
Joplin CMo.O star. Runyan and
Smith doomed through to a
Sands victory. Jones and Dud-
ley won, only two holes.
ClimaxeS Downward Sag
That climaxed a downward sag
in Bobby's game since Sunday,
but whether Jones. who began
his practice rounds here by set
ting a course record Of IS, seven
under par, is just loafing along
until the job begins in earnest
Thursday is a matter Of con-
lecture that has set the mob
guessing.
There is no question but that
Jones remains the center of in
tereSt in this tournament. He is
in the middle of the ring right in
front of the reserved seats and
the band. The tournament is con-
sidered a match between Bobby
and the rest Of the 60 odd great
golfers.
Jones is paired with Runyan
and this pairing jacks much of
the tournament into one big act
for if Bobby is to cut down on his
return from Eliza, many believe
it will be young Paul who can
WELD the. saber.

FRENCH TENNIS
ACES IMPRESS

NEW YORK, March 21.-French
chances for capturing the Davis
Cup lost to England after winning
it for six years, are not quite 80
forlorn today, despite the 2-to-O
lead held by the United States
team in the international indoor
matches.
Christian Broussus and Andre
Merlin, young hopes" for next
summers French team, became
more impressive the longer they
remain here.
In the first matches of the in
ternational indoor series BrousSuS
and Merlin performed better than
they did last week in the national
championships.
Steffen got competition thG0
three Of the top notch American
players could not give him. befote
he won, 3-6, 6-3, 60, T9,
Ga.
Merlin knew how to handle
Stoefen'S serve. And the two sets
he won were exactly two more
than Lester dropped throughout
the national indoor champion
ships.
The short-legged Frenchman
broke through Stoefen's blistering
service six times. The Californian
lost only three games on his offer
ings throughout last weeks entire
play.
Grey Mangin had to work hard
to win a five-set match from
Boussus in which four went to
extra games. The scores, 80.
IS, ST, IS, 60, indicate
how close was the competition.
The second series Of interna-
tional tennis tonight consists Of .
doubles match in which Stoefen
and George M. Lott, holders Of
both the grass and indoor team
crowns, clash with Borotra and
Boussus. An exhibition match be
tween Frank Shields, American
No. / player, and Mangin, also
is scheduled.

SENATORS MAKE NO ALTERATIONS.

Joe Cronin Stands Pat Re- garding Most Unselfish'
 Baseball | Club
By JOE GROWN Manager of the Washington Senators)

BILOXI, Miss, April 6.-Starting the 1884 campaign for the Senators will be the same group which in my opinion, was the finest and most uaselfisil combination of bal players ever gathered on one club It was their superlative spirit, plus their ability and enthusiasm that carried them to the 1888 pennant. This season the boys are more determined than ever to get another crack at the National League champions.
 Earl Whitehill, General Crowder, Wally Stewart and Monte Weaver are the big four of our pitching staff. We were very fortunate last season to discover the fine quality of Jack Russell's relief work. In him Washington has one of the best relief pitchers since Firpo Marberry. '# i'e hf
 f's SewelI Tops Catching Staff
 Tn the catching department Luke Sewell still rates the first string job. His receiving was an import ant factor in last years pennant winning. Moe Berg and Cliff Bolton are the two other catchers but Elmer Klumpp, up from Chat tanooga, may give one of them a battle. t sa #
 In Heine Manusn, Fred Schulte and John Stone we'll present a fine array of outfielders. All are good defensive players as well as great hitters. Manusil with his 22l base hits last season led the league in that department Joe Harris has proved himself a ca pablo outfielder and pinch hitter.
 The infield of Joe Kuhel, Buddy Myer, Ossie Bluege and myself, I think, rates defensiveiy with any infield in modern baseball. Boken and Kerr remain for utility work Cecil Travis, recalled from Chat tanooga, by his spectacular show ing during spring training, may receive the third base assignment or remain as utility infielder. A natural hitter, Travis has never batted under .340 in his brief but meteoric career.
 In the 1883 race our club had the happy faculty of being able to come back" and this is the ob- jective of every member of the club, to prove our calibre to othe baseball world and to avenge our loss in the world series.
 The American League race this season should be one of the clos
