D. C.. Sport Program
Crippled By Weather
BOIUie and Benning

# you think the recent
weather hasn't raised havoc
with sports progress. consider
a. few Of the retarding influ-
ences it has wrought here, and
hereabouts:
Horses at Bowie and Ben
ming, among the latter Singing
Wood, a Derby prospect. are
tethered inside, unable to get
any sort Of an outdoor work
out.
Catholic University football
team is weatherbound from
spring practice which was
scheduled to start three weeks
ego.
outdoor track practices de-
layed at high schools and col
leges as we'll as early baseball
practices by the same inStitu-
tions
Georgetown University held
back from its original football
practice date yesterday and
now decides to wait until
April II.
George washington Univer-
sity is unable to fix any def
mite spring football date, hold
ing back from day to day to
make an announcement. Mon
day now seems the logical
turning-out time, but even that
is indefinite.
Only Maryland football, la
crosse and baseball teams have
braved the elements so far.
And golf, why, golf has SIM
ply been damned up, except
Of course when it was showed
under. The addicts Of the an
cient game hereabouts are
fairly itching to get their war
clubs in action and if they don't
soon get some relief they will
be fit to tie.
It has been vars and vars
and Vars since spring sports
were so completely stifled
around Washington as has
been the case in the budding
months of 1884.
0lmsted Is Active
Bert Olmsted, local restau-
rant man, is among those who
believe that horse racing for
the District of Columbia would
be a good thing for business
here, and il was he who got
behind the board of governors
of the merchants and manu-
facturers this week to write
to Mrs. Mary Norton, the Dem
ocratic chairman Of the House
District Committee, recon-
mending the Black bill.
Whereas many racing COM
munities, Baltimore in particu.
lar, declare money goes into the
pari-mutuel m a hines which
might normally be spent among
business houses of the Monu-
mental City, it is Olmsted's be-
lief that racing causes large
sums of money to be turned
over and that much Of it finds
its way back to the community
which supports the sport.

"In this corner, Bernie Kap-

"In this corner, "Red" Flem-
ing, of Catholic University"
Tomorrow night, in Catholic
University's spacious gym, when
and if this announcement is
made, the C. U.-Western Mary
land boxing meet will reach peak,
and probably the largest crowd to
see boxing event in this city will
settle down for a bout that will be
a bout.
Out at C. u. they'll tell you
that Western Maryland is sup
posed handily to win tomorrow
nights meet. They'll add:
"There's many a slip twixt
the cup and the lip"
C. us boxers are ready for this
meet. They are in the ideal c. U.
spot, for they are underdogs. For
instance, Fleming is classified as
easy prey for Kaplan; Capt. Bill
Calabrese, in the 125-pound class.
is expected to be defeated by Jack
Harrison, Western Maryland's
consistent winner; Tom Oliver, G.
us 165-pounder of football fame,
is expected to be no match FOR
Andy Gorsky, hard-hitting ace
from the hilltop of Westminster.
Win When UnderdOgs
C.. U. has made a regular
habit of winning when the Cards
are expected to lose. This factor
lends color and attractiveness to
this meet tomorrow night.
You have it on the authority
of Eddie LaFond, c. U. ring
coach, that tomorrow nights
mitt tournament will be worth
going miles to see.
Track and field athletes OF
Georgetown and Maryland will
compete tomorrow afternoon and
night in the concurrent Southern
Conference and open track and
field meets at University OF
North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N. c.
The local thin-clads leave this
morning for the event. Maryland
will compete in the conference
events; Georgetown will compete
in the open numbers.
Maryland's gridders yesterday
were driven indoors by the snow.
In Ritchie Coliseum at the one
time were the grid squad, the
baseball squad, the track and
field athletes and the intramural
boxers.
Georgetown's spring grid prac-
tice sessions, listed to start yes
terday, definitely have been post
poned until after the Easter hoH-
days.
Batteries Work
George Washington University's
baseball battery hopefuls, dozen
hurlers and half that number OF
ca tchers, yesterday answered
Coach Edgar Morris call for in
itial practice. The ColonialS will
move out-of-doors as soon as 1t is
possible to do so.
GeorgetOWn'S flnal DdSKeIpaI1
game of the year will be played
in Tech High gym TOMORROW night.
Carnegie Tech will furnish the op-
position. Tech is a slight favor
ite, to win. If the Hoyas win.
Georgetown will end it's season
with more victories than defeats.
With present weather prevail
ing, varsity teams of the various
colleges may only work out in
doors and await the return Of bet
ter conditions for out-of-doors
practices.

Horses Held Inside
All Spring Sports
Behind Schedules

do not think Olmsted's en-.
thusiasm for horse racing is en-
tirely mercenary. He is one Of
those sports followers who goes
for every type of outdoor and in
door competition, being one
of the organizers of the famous
downtown Coaches Associa-
tion," a group of football fans
which flourished around here
some years ago, and which con-
gregated in the grandstandS to
Second-guess the coaches.
The annual banquetS Of those
grandstand managers used to
be one Of the big winter gather
ings of the sports-minded here
aboutS.
Mac Respects Griffs
Washington is among the ball
clubs which Joe Mccarthy, YAM
Kee manager. expects to give
the New Workers plenty of trou-
BILE this year. So are Detroit, st.
Louis and the Red Sox. But give
Babe Ruth's boss just one more
pitcher, and he says he won't be
afraid of any team in the league.
Mccarthy believes much Of
Washington's impetus was gained
last year through those 18 games
which the Red Sox dropped to
the Griffmen, and he figures the
fortified Bostonians will be no
such easy prey for Cronin's crew
this year. According to McCar-
thy, Charley Ruffing is due for
a big season, in contrast to an
off year in 1888. He says Bill
Dickey's appendicitis operation
will almost double his value to
the Yankees, now that he won't
have to be bothering lest he
strain the wound.
Both infield and outfield sat
isfy the Yankee manager, and
he is also content with his re-
serve forces. If he can't buy or
make a trade for a pitcher, he
will try to develop one, such as
he did Allen, Gomez and Van
Alta.
Heavyweight Prospect
There's a heavyweight boxing
prospect over at Annapolis by
the name of Slade Cutter, who
is attracting the eyes of not only
the collegiate ring world, but
the professional as we'll.
Cutter has been brought along
through his Academy career by
that peer of boxing coaches,
Spike Webb, and, should the
young man ultimately decide
against a career before the mast.
it is said he would have no trou-
BILE making good in the profess
sional game.
Fact is, there Is a rumor going
about that Cutter already has
been approached by a big East
ern fight organization, but, of
course, such matters have to be
treated quite negatively so long
as he is still at Annapolis. The
offer is said to embrace the re-
tanning of Webb as Cutters
trainer.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Thinking.
DEOPLE differ a great deal In the

pEOfLE Olllcl BItdG utdl III Ille
way they handle their own prob
lens. These ways OF handling per-
sonal problems should really be called
ways of thinking. Modern psychol-
ogy recognizes several kinds Of think
ing.
The most common way of thinking
Is called reverie-not only the most
common but also the least useful
When you think by the reverie
method, you draw your conclusions
from the way you feel You allow
your wishes to dictate the significance
Of facts
A better method OF thinking is
known as empirical thinking When
YOU think empirically, YOU refer your
present problem to past experiences
You might call this the rule of
thumb" method
The best way to do your thinking
is to follow what is known as critical
thinking. When you find yourself
coming to some conclusion, take time
out to examine that conclusion from
different points of view. Say to your
self. Il might be wrong" II you can
raise doubt you will stand a good
chance of eliminating your prejudices
on the one hand and poorly remem-
bered experiences on the other.
Critical thinking requires both time
and patience. It's hard task That's
why there's so little of it in this world
