Western High, for case No. 1,
has presented three young players
literally beaming with promise.
One of this group is "Huck"

Kinsman, young right-handed

Wynne Is Conner
Wynne had to take a back
seat last year in the inter-high
series because of the presence of
Cliff KeySer, of Central High

best backstops ever developed in
the high schools.
But Wynne was a close second

to play even better than the
latter.

from, and how could fighter

official has been going around
town belittleing him. This Off

didn't believe he had a chance.

ton to come to see set-ups. No
wonder only 400 people turned
out for such strange goings-on.
And because Burke refuses the
Set-up, the A. A. U. SuspendS
him from further competition
under its grand old Simple
Simon-pure banner.
Meanwhile Washington has
no representation in the Ma
tional A. A. U. heavyweight
class. Burke is deprived of the
chance that was Joe Louis last
year and of the opportunity
that once came to Henry Lamar,
when Burke's manager, Joe
Bateman, took Henry to Boston
and came home with the light
heavyweight title.
It is such cheap performances
by the District A. A. U. as ex-
emplified in the case of Kirk
wood Burke, when it threw it's
lot with a promoter, that has
made the parent A. A. U. body
lose cast everywhere. In Wash

more to retard good sportsman

What to do with his pitching
staff now concerns Harris. He
knows he can't win with some of
his veterans. He may not win
with some Of his rockies. But
whether to gamble on youth, or
take the certainty that expert
enced hurlers will give him, is the
puzzle of the day.
Status Established
With less than a week interven-
ing before the opening of the sea-
son, the status of all members of
the squad should be pretty we'll
established. There is some doubt
on one or two youngsters, and on
at least one of the veterans. Har-
ris is eager to start Coppola
against major league opposition.
He would like to have chance
to observe sgd Cohen under fire.
Likewise, he would be glad to
have chance to work AL Thomas.
Cohen, a rookie; Thomas, a vet
eran. Neither sure of his place.
Fred Sington is far from estab-
Iished, but will be afforded the
opportunity to prove that un-
favorable conditions retarded his
development. Sington's throwing
has been anything but major
league in quality, and there is
some question on his speed.
Clark Griffith contends that Sing
ton set the international League
on fire last year after poor
start. Well, let it rest there.
It is violating no confidence to
announce here that Harris is
looking around for a right handed
outfielder who can hit and who
still can cover ground. He has
enough defensive skill, but he
needs a hitter to stick in against
left handed pitching.
Amusing Statement
The rather amusing statement
of President Clark Griffith that
the Griffs had more batting prac-
tice in the South than any other
team in the land draws a smile.
They looked at major league pitch
ing in two games, and didn't
exactly knock that stiff, nor even
bow-legged. The pitchers had
long drills, but only in pitching
for batting practice.
Claiming that these drills should
have conditioned his team, Griff
admitted that one week of play
against decent pitching would be
better than two weeks of practice.
Shouting from the hilltops that

the wet condition of the Hilltop

However, tomorrow's golf duels

versity of Florida at the Con-
gressional Country Club will go

cloudburst intervenes. Golfers,
like race horses, can slosh
through the rain and mud, though
it can't be said they are over
joyed playing under such misera-

Saved Self for st. Louis
It seems that Burke, through
his manager, had agreed to ap-
pear in a boxing match for the
Olympic Athletic Club last
Saturday night, but 48 hours
before the gong was to summon
him to lift his dukes, thought
an injury might jeopardize his
chances in st. Louis, and so
notified the prompter, one Matt
Twomey, so that the public
might have due notice he was
not to fight.
He did not appear for his
fight and he was suspended by
the A. A. u, and prohibited
from competing in the national
tournament this week in st.
Louis. He also lost the chance
such competition carries to be-
come a member of the 1886
American Olympic Committee.
All of this naturally brings
up the question as to what con-
nection there is between the
Amateur Athletic Union and the
Olympic Athletic Club, repre-
sented by Twomey. Why should
Burke have to grind TWomey'S
ak in order to get his chance
in the national tournament and
at the 1886 Olympics which he
earned in hard competition in
the Golden Gloves tournament?
Which Is Worse
But the IMPORTANT ques.
ton is whether the A. A. U.
really gives a hang about Wash.
ington's chances in this ma
tional competition when it leans
backward to find an excuse to
bar Burke because he refused
to jeopardize his chances in
st. Louis by fighting locally
Saturday night.
Certainly, if the A. A. U. de-
fines Burke's reasons as flirnsy,
they are no more so than the A.
A. us despotic and intolerant
attitude toward the best anna
teur heavyweight hereabouts.
Yes, the A. A. U. finally GOT
