 From ElnwOsd Ave

Next step, horse thefts.
 That's what local police expect after having been informed by the owner that his motorcycle was stolen last night, which detectives mentally add to the fact that it's bicycle-theft time again, now that school has reopened.
 Kenneth Goodyear of 75 Elm- wood avenue reported at heaaauar- ters last night that his cycle had been taken from in front of his home. Police said it was a new one on them but they'd do their best to find it and locate the thief.

The Colonel needs almost moth
ing to make the Yankees a pen
nant winner next year-merely
half an lnfield, two-thirds of an
outfield and two or three pitchers.
That is why he is making strong
gestures toward his ever-ready
check book. The man who paid
an eighth Of a million for one
player-Babe Ruth-and found it
a profitable investment, is not
going to haggle or quibble over a
few thousand when the boys start
talking turkey at the league meet
ings here next week.
The Yankees would take Man
ush from the Senators or Averill
from the Indians. Those two,
with Chapman, would make a
great outfield. Lou Gehrig Is,
naturally, set for another great
year at first base. and Crosetti
will be used either at short or
third, depending on what the
COlOnel can SWING IN CraQe OF
for cash.
1t has been reported that
Charley Devans. of the Boston
Back Bay region and the Hasty
Pudding Club. would hang up his
spikes for a banking career but
the writer learns today that
Charley's brand-new bride nor his
family has any objection to
Charley pitching for the Yankees
if he so desires.
If Charley sticks to the game
and comes through, as Manager
Joe Mccarthy thinks he can, the
Yankees will have most of their
pitching troubles erased.
Gomez, Deshong, Broaca, Muir
ply and Devens, with Allen,
Brown, Van Alta and Tamulis,
would give the Yanks q fair pitch

The two-gymnasium system to
be used this season, is the cause
for all the excitement. To those
who are still unfamiliar with the
excitement, two floor sites are
to house the contests this year.
The familiar Tech High gym
nasium will be one scene, while
the new Roosevelt High floor will
be the other.
The idea is to do away with the
double-headers which formerly eX'
listed in the Tech gymnasium
This plan promises to be most
successful, since a game will be
played in each gymnasium on the
same day; but it's a question at
the present moment how many Of
ficialS will handle the games.
A meeting will be held early
next week to decide the problem,
Those who want only one official
at a game will present their argu.
ments in full in order to gain
their point-that of economy
Those who hold opposite views will
argue the games will need two Of
ficials because of the tenseness in
the series every year and the re-
sponsibilities the officials have
thrust upon them in offering the
right decisions at the proper mo-
mentS.
1t is the general belief the lat
ter group will gain their point.
The question, then, will arise which
quartet of officials must be Sc
lected? The meeting promises to
be interesting.
The Dewitt Prep Alumni football
dinner is rapidly making headway
as far as plans are concerned.
Members of the committee met
the other day and decided on an

affair colorful to say the least.

NAR|ONS PLAY
MARYLAND IN
FEATURE

Old King Football Is slowly
coming to his demise for the 1884
season. Only two games are on
tap in the National City Semipro
loop tomorrow.
The Marion and Maryland tilt
at Duffy Stadium, Seat Pleasant,
Md, at 2:3O p. m, will be the
feature game, as neither team
has been defeated in the second
half race and a win for Mary
land will give them the title.
The other game will find Brent
wood Hawks engaging 260th
Coast Artillery at Gonzaga field.
Both games start at 2:30 p. m.
Exhibition Game
Another game is to be played
at Navy Yard at 2:30 p. m. The
Seaman Gunners tackle the
Palace A. C. in an exhibition
affair. This game was originally
scheduled for a league game but
Palaces failure to place a team
on the field last Sunday against
Maryland A. C. automatically for.
feited its franchise in the league.
Marions are seeking revenge for
the defeat administered to them
in the first half by Maryland.
That was the first victory for
Maryland since they first met
four years ago. Marions have been
training hard all week perfecting
a defense to stop Snail DeLabre,
the hard hitting line plunger OF
Maryland.
Depend On Radtke
The Marions are depending on
Ed Radtke's educated toe to boot
a few field goals if their running
attack is stopped. Radtke is the
Mandes of the local sandlots.
Maryland has been running
roughshod over it's opponents in
it's last four games and with Joe
Alenty of Georgetown, Frank
Cumberland of Western Mary
lnad and Willis Benner Of Mary
land aiding, Snail will be hard to
stop.
Also Cumberland is expected to
outkick Radtke. Both are con-
sidered the premier kickers Of the
league. Cumberland has been av'
eraging 60 yards on his kicks while
'Radtke has been following him a
close second.

Six games are scheduled tomor.

ner of tomorrow's game will be
crowned champions of the first
half race.
Neither team has been defeated

Pallid Hose signed AL Simmons
to cavort in left field. Simmons
complained that his best wallops
were just long flies, but with the
fences as they were in Shibe
Park; well. he the great Sim
mons, would show them some
thing.
So the home plate was moved
cut IA feet closer to the flag
pole, and sure enough, home runs
began to boom. White Sox Park
became a happy hunting ground
for cowtail hitters who could
fail ball to remote corners
of the field.
But instead Of helping Sim
mons, it made Bonura the nero of
the South Side Italians, Zene hit
81 homers, and Simmons, the
loquacious one, hit only eight.
Washington is the boast Of the
league, for only 38 homers were
hit here last year. Boston is next
with so. Shibe Park had 129
homerS hit there, which was one
more than the boys could make
in Chicago. Yankee Stadium ran
third with 101 homers.
The Yankees led all visiting
teams in home-run production at
Griffith Stadium, hitting seven.
The Washington Club. playing 73
games here, hit a dozen home
runs, Manush and Cronin tieing
with four each. Records of
