Thompson, the Eagles one-man
team in their first season last
spring, is in need Of condition
ing, but Young feels that the
progress his newer recruits have
made will take some Of the bur
den from the shoulders Of the
former Dickinson Seminary star.
In the distance runs the
Eagles mentor finds himself well
equipped with Fred Church, star
of the Maryland freshman team
last season, performing in mid
season form in the mile and
two-mile.
Carlo Fuchs ON Hand
In addition he has Joe Carlo,
Herbie Fuchs and DIN Smith,
who are constantly on the heels
Of the bespectacled transfer from
Maryland.
The half-mile event win prob
ably call to service DIN Smith.
Thompson and Gus Hertz, q
freshman, with Sparky Bartlett,
Gordon Leach and possibly
Thompson in the 40.
In the daShes Clarence Cork
ran, ThompSon's chief assistant
point winner last season, has
shown an extraordinary improve
ment and with Bob Hill, Lind
say BranSon and TIL ON pSon
should account for some points
in intercollegiate competition.
Hill it is who has been the big
disappointment to Coach Young
in the short runs. A junior at

track competition at the school,
being ineligible for participation
last spring. In his New Hampshire
High School days he set the State

Young believes will easily place in
the MaSon-Dixon conference meet
ct Baltimore, May 2.
Aside from the discus, the broad
jump, and the javelin the Eagles
are weak in the field lacking q
pole vaulter or high Jumper Of
merit. For the broad jump Young
will call upon Thompson, Corkran
and Bartlett, all Of whom bite the
dust more than az feet beyond
the board, while hopes in the jave-
lin rest upon the broad shoulders
Of Kim Shoop who has been toss
ing the spear some 1855 feet daily.
The Shot-put attempts will be
made by husky footballers Chick
Yackel and Jack Rhodes, neither
Of whom have shown such prom
Use to date.
Relay Candidates Good
The best candidates for the
Eagle relay team to date appear
to be Sparky Bartlett, Gus Hertz,
DIN Smith, Clarence Corkran,
and the much overworked Thomp-
son. If the first four shape up
well enough in handling the
baton it is Young's hope that
Thompson will be relieved Of duty
in the event.
The Eagles meet their first op-
ponent Friday, April "a, at Lynch
burg, Va, where they will face the
Hornets Of Lynchburg College. Al
though confident Of capable per.
formances from some Of his men
Young believes q great deal Of the
burden must be borne by some Of
those unmentioned above who
must take second and third places
for points If the Eagles are not to

Sixteen Teams
Await Majors
Curtain

NEW YORK, April 13.-The
dress rehearSalS are virtually over
and the 16 major league ball clubs
were standing in the wings today
waiting for the curtain to rise on
the 1885 diamond season.
The teams, almost without ex-
ception, reported their training
seasons successful and profitable.
The Brooklyn Dodgers con-
cluded their training campaign at
Ebbets Field yesterday in game
with the Yankees and showed
signs Of being dangerously close
to mid-Season form, which means
they handed the america n
Leaguers the game on q platter.
The score was z to 4, and half
the Yankees runs were the result
Of Brooklyn errors and dull think
ing. Broaca, KleinhauS, and
Hadley pitched for the Yankees;
Zachary, Leonard, and Baker for
the Dodgers.
Out in Chicago, the White Sox
won the spring series with the
Cubs, taking the fifth and decid.
ing game by a score Of z to l.
The New York Giants brought
their long series with the Cleve-
land Indians to a close with an
impressive TO victory on the
American LeaguerS' lot. Joe Moore
accounted for five Of the Giants
runs. He hit long homer in the
second inning with the bases filled
and then belted another round
tripper, with the paths vacant, in
the seventh. AL Smith and Harry
Gumbert held the Tribe to four
hits.
The world champion Detroit
Tigers wound up their barnStorm-
ing tour with the Reds at Cincin-
natl, defeating Charley DresSen'S
agents by 8 to z, although the
senior loopers outhit them, IA to
IL. The Tigers won five games in
the series Of nine, the Reds taking
two and tying two others.
The st. Louis Browns scored
three runs in a four-hit rally in
the ninth inning to trim the
Cardinals, z to 4, in the first Of
a two-game st. Louis city series.
Mahaffey, Van Alta and Cald-
well pitched for the Browns, with
Paul Dean and HeuSSer dividing
the labor for the Cards.
The Philadelphia A hletics S,
who are expected to finish down
in the Sally League, showed I'm.
expected strength by defeating
the Phillies in a 512-inning game,
that was halted by rain. The
score was 4 to 3. Three home
runs bounced off the Mackmen's
bats.
Up in Boston, the newly named
Bees became spring champions

colorful American League rivals,
the Red Sox, 8 to 4. Danny Mac

CHICAGO, April 13.-Jimmy

White Sox, today picked Mickey
Cochrane's Detroit Tigers to win
the American League pennant.
"And that goes, with or with

'"The club to watch? The st.

The Athletics are hopeless,
Cleveland lacks balance.

"Well, don't intend to get
out on . limb. But / like the
organization q lot better than I
did the White SOx Of . year
ago." Dykes concluded.

PEMBROKE CARTER PROMISE CLASS FOR EA
New Pitchers
Look Good
ToGuyon
BY GARRETT WATERS

Exporting the interhigh base.
ball series has been an easy task
In recent seasons because the
Eastern High nine has been the
Standout.
The chief reason for this has
been the pitching talent Coach
Charlie (The Chief Guyon has
had under his wing.
You can go several years back
on this subject, even back to the
days when "Cac" Curtin was q
member Of the Parkers' hurting
corps. suit recent campaigns prob
ably will mean most to the school
fan Of today.
.. Before going into that list this
year it appears as If Eastern
again will be blessed with pitching
talent that promises to win an
other championship.
Two SOuthpaws
A couple Of southpaws are on
hand youngsters who gained
valuable experience on the sand
lots before coming up to the high
schools.
They are Wade Pembroke and
"Lefty" Carter. The Police Boys
Club must be credited with the de-
velopment Of these kids to date.
For it was with Morris Fox Police
Precinct No. 5 nine that both
jumped into the spotlight. And
on the strength Of their records,
it Is believed they will keep right
on going at top speed for Eastern
in the interhigh series this spring.
Now those ace hurlers Of former
years. Dick Lanahan is the most
prominent. Dick couldn't lose in
his high school days, battling OPP
posing teams as fast as they could
be played.
Later Dick went on to make q
name for himself on the SandlotS.
He was so good that Clark Grit
fifth, president of the washington
Baseball Club, signed him for q
trial.
With LOOkOutS
The young Southpaw played
with Chattanooga last year and
is again with that club for another
campaign Of seasoning.
His future is still ahead Of him
and someday, Coach Charlie
Guyon and students at Eastern
High, will be saying 81 knew him
when" yet.
i. Joe Sullivan was one other East
ern prize package. Joe graduated
last summer after three seasons
Of capable pitching, and like Ian
Rhan is headed for q regular big
league job in the near -lture.
Getting back to Pembroke and
Carter, the pair are quite young.
but by the time they graduate
should be well groomed for the
higher class baceball.
Naturally Guyon hopes they viii
be good enough for big league
trials, too.
# the mentors background and
coaching talent is any indication
ut all, they will become good
enough for such trials.

A baseballer Of real promise Is
AL Kidwell, Of Eastern High
School.
The youngster is in his second
year as a regular. In 1885. Kid
well made an excellent impression
for a newcomer, being next in
ability to Shorty ChumbriS, of
Central, as the best shortstop in
the interhigh series.
This season, AL may make it
easily. He's packed full Of expert
ence, having had q season Of sand
lot ball behind him with the
Reads Pharmacy nine, and his
cause is helped by the fact he is
a good fielder and a dangerous
hitter.

Torchy Toda and Chick Chin,

3 and 2, at Kenwood yesterday.
Toda and Cox were low scorers
with even par 70'S. Jamison shot
70 and Chin "a.
All even for the first six holes,
the Japanese pair took the lead
when Toda won the seventh with
par 4. They never surrendered
this margin, a birdie 8 by Toda on
the fifteenth clinching victory.
