Schrieber. about 25, Of Chicago, and
Francis Rdzok, about "a, of St Paul,

Dame University.
Searchers were spurred by the find
ing Of two pairs of trousers in the
lake last night. Identified as be-
longing to the students, the clothing
apparently had been discarded to IA
cilitate swimming.
Schrieber and Rdzok were students
at Summer camp maintained on the
lake by the Holy Cross Congregation.
They left the camp in canoe about
pm Wednesday. Both wore heavy
clothes and neither was an expert
swimmer.
When the students failed to return
for supper, Father Kenna, camp di-
rector. sent out searching party. The
searchers found the capsized canoe
floating in an inlet about 2 miles from
camp. Both paddles we're on the sur
face Of the water nearby. There IVES
nothing to show what had caused the
canoe to upset. There was no wind
during the afternoon. the lake was
calm and the weather clear.
Members of the Oakland (Md) Fire
Department searched for the bodies
all Wednesday night and throughout
yesterday. Volunteers Joined in the
attempts to find the bodies and yes
terday the Cumberland MD rescue
boat was dispatched to the scene with
crew of firemen with grapnels. State
police also are aiding in the search.
Schrieber was third-year theolog-
ical student at Holy Gross College in
Brookland, while Rdzok was q second
year student at the same institution.
College officials said In event the
bodies are found they will be sent to

The lion has long fangs and II
claws, four on each foot and the

No, the keepers can't explain the

The lion is fighting fury. He

Sox Have Schedule Edge.

MOT until Saturday will the Ma

it should be fast and furious. Tram
pied upon all season in New York by
the Yankees, they will return for a
three-game series over the week end
and return to finish the season in
Griffith Stadium by playing the Red
Sox three straight games and the
Yanks two more.
The Sox, after today, figure to have
smooth sailing. Still leading the Griff-
men by two games, Chicago plays the
Browns in seven of its nine remaining
games after today The Tigers, who
slipped half game behind the third
place Mats yesterday, although win
ming, have five more games with Cleve-
land and two with the Browns.
The picture is not so pretty, but
the Bucks haven't given up hope Of
finishing second. Before meeting the
Browns, you couldn't have raised a
bet with any of them second-place
chances, but the St. Louis stand gave
rise to fresh hope, although actually
the Hornsby men looked a little too
weak to please the Griffs. If the
Browns stay as bad as they were yes
terday, the prospects of their stop
ping the White Sox and Tigers are
not bright.

championship of the Southern As

The hurlers include Johnny Van der
Nicer, also Of the Piedmont loop, and
Lloyd Moore, kingpin of the Cotton

having the best won-and-lost percent

Piedmont record by tanning 296 bats
men, while Moore had 244 to his credit

Jake Mooty, who recently joined the

whom he reported in good health, fol-
lowing his voluntary retirement last

~ Not that it makes much diff
ference to him, because Mem
phis Wilyum is funny that way,
but Gel. Bill Terry is batting 500 now
in the Hero-B Bum League. Taking Il
for granted that New York's GianLs
are going to make it subway series
Terry now has run the gantlet OF
hero to a bum and back again in his
four full years as manager of the
Polo Grounders.
Probably no manager in modern
base ball history has known the in
stability of public favor and the hol-
lowness Of praise as well as Terry.
Probably the nearest approach
to Terry's accumulation Of this
type Of knowledge was gained
by Buoky Harris, who rode the
crest in 1924 and 1925 and ever
since has been trying to wash
out dark brown taste.
Terry's lessons in the fickleness oi
the base ball public, however, were
quicker and more bewildering than
Harris. Stepping into John McGraw's
shoes, Terry won the pennant in 1888
and his Giants ran roughshod over the
Nationals in the World Series.
He Heard the Wolves Howl.
HE was hailed as genius in Gotham
He sat atop the base ball world
In 1884 he again had New York gaga-
until September. While Terry was
making plans for the series that year
the Cardinals passed the Giants and
won the pennant. That was destruc-
tive enough to Terry's reputation as O
manager, but compared to what hap
pened in 1885 it was negligible. Last
September his Giants had a seven
and-one- ne-half-game lead and when the
final results were posted, the Terry
men were third, with the Cubs win
ming and the Cardinals running second.
Then Terry heard the bowling
of the wolves. As late as last
Spring and even midway of the
current season, fans and news
papermen we're firm in the belief
that Terry was a third-rate
manager. who in 1888 was
lucky stiff.
At that time. the Giants were in
the second division. Carl Hubbell was
the only winning pitcher on the staff
Hank Leiber was a flop, Burgess
Whitehead as yet had not proved the
Parmalee deal was okay. Dick Bartell
was so-so. Fred Fitzsimmons was laid
up, Frank Gablei sat on the bench
undiscovered" and Terry himself was
laid up with his trick knee.
One day Terry let young Clyde Cas-
tleman take an awful pasting from
the Reds for nine innings and almost
was run out of town. One of the
country's foremost columnistS wrote
a piece. calling him in effect. a sec
ond-rate manager and a sixth-rate
man.
