Needs Two More Weeks.

TN THE time the Nationals spent on
their home lot in Washington the
General relapsed. The snap was
missing and in his three innings yes
terday against the Dodgers, although
he was not scored on, there was
nothing of last years zip in his deliv-
cry. 1t now appears as though
Crowder will require at least two
weeks more of sound training before
he will be prepared to display the
form that made him such a power
on the pitching peak the past two
seasons.
So with Russell in the pink OF
condition and with the ability it is
known he possesses the Nationals ap-
pear to be in luck. Jack has been
around now for eight seasons in the
American League. He knows what
it is all about. And he's as game
as they make 'em. He ought to go
along pretty we'll as starter while
Crowder Is striving to come up to
snuff. And after that, too.

Magerkurth Is Colorful imp
Gets Plenty of RS and Lots of Knee Action in
Calling 'Em-Also Assists Players.

The 62 faithful who braved the
chilly breezes to watch the daft
ness boys from Brooklyn saw no
Babe Herman, of course, what
with the Babe cavorting with the
Cubs these days, but in Mayer
kurth they're carrying a gent
equally as good. He probably
would be featured on the billing
if the Dodgers owned him.
At first glance Magerkurth is no
different from any other ump. He
has a size 18 or 20 collar, of
course, and the usual airline of an
umpire. Here the resemblance
ends, though. There are trick,
detached cuffs, q celluloid collar,
ready-tied bow-tie and color to
spare on Magerkurth.
A called strike, as announced by
Magerkurth, contains no less than
10 RS. Van Graflan, even on
one of his good days, could get
in only eight. Roy's sounded like
"strrrrrrrrike." Magerkurth's is
"strrrrrrrrrrike. There's a differ
ence. Try it.
Not only that, but he commits
such serious offenses as being help
full on the ball field. He picks
up the catcher's mask and warns
him when he's nearing the con-
crete wall. His hand gestures
would put Zasu Pitts to shame.
His walk would make Lloyd Ham
ilton turn green with envy.
He was so good that Nick Al
trock, the Nationals clown, was
given the day of after the first
inning and Bottles Cox, our own
up-and-coming referee, hid behind
a tall weed in short-right field for
fear or suffering by comparison
for Mr.. Magerkurth can call 'em,
too.

PRINCETON CREW
MUST Be REBUILT
Only One Letter Man Back.
Tigers Also Way Behind
in Practice Drills.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DRINCETON, April IA
- Handicapped by the loss
of seven letter men and
u by the lateness of the
season, the prospects of Prince
tons varsity crew for this year
do not at this moment appear
too bright.
The Tiger oarsmen are % days
behind their daily practice schedule
of year ago. In 1888 the crew was
on the water of Lake Carnegie by
February "a. This year the ice on
the lake did not break up until
March l9. Previous to that time
Princeton had held only one unsatis-
factory session on the Delaware River.
With the first race against Navy
scheduled for April 81, the Nassau
roWers have worked long and hard
for the last two weeks, trying to make
up for lost time.
Head Coach Gordon Sykes is fur
ther faced by the necessity of filling
seven vacancies, created by gradua-
ton last June, in his first boat. The
only lettermen of last year back are
captain and stroke Aikman Arm
strong and Waliy Pflaumer, who
rowed number two year ago and
has been shifted to seven this Spring.
There are available four members
OF the 1888 junior varsity boat. They
are: Al Howell, six; Hugo Rutherford,
member Of a great Princeton rowing
family, five; Russ Wood, two, and Ed
Kellogg, three. All Of these men are
at present making strong bids for
places in the first eight.
Last years freshman crew obtained
several unusually big heavy men who
are likely candidates for the varsity.
Outstanding among them are: Hare
Dicke, Rudy Kaufman ard HANK
Bugbee on the starboard side of the
boat; and Gordon Keppell, Jack
Kelley, Bud Smith and Jim Pierce,
port oars. Bugbee and Pierce at the
moment appear likely to annex the
No. 2 and bow positions. respectiyely

 Vainly the Sailors used three hurlers to stem the flow of hits, but none of them were very suc- cessful.

After Reeves came Lambert and Nc Cloud.
 Junge and Marter pitched for Juneau, and Junge went through his four innings with only two hits and one run, the latter be- ing unearned
 Navy Nine Errors
 Not only did the Visitors fail to hit the ball, but they also had trouble stopping grounders. Nine errors were chalked up against them, and of these, York at short starred with four.
 Springer, Locke and Grist of the Subs made two hits apiece, and this accounted for all the hits made by that team. Of the locals, Junge starred by smacking out three clean bingles in three trips to the plate. Bill Schmitz and Diringer made two apiece.
 AS soon as Con" Ellingsen saw that the game was going to be in line, he pushed in endorsements to give all the players a chance at the Navy. Practically the entire game was played in a mist, which began to turn into rain as Regele called the game in the seventh.
