Points For
Season.
BY GARRETT WATERS


One wonders how Howard "Con.
ME" Wyche does it, but every year
the little sandlot manager man.
ages to accomplish the feat.
That, customers, is compiling
big league schedule for whatever
club he happens to be leading.
A couple of years ago it was the
Majestics. This season it is the
Old Milwaukees, a new team in the
local realm.
Wyche always contends his
teams are so good the opposition
cannot afford to turn him down.
At any rate, he gets the games
and starts as early as January
writing to out-of-town foes Tor
summer dates.
Wyche's new team, the Old Mil
waukees, opens its campaign to-
morrow with a contest at Aexan-
dria against the st. Mary's Gel
tics.
Annual Game
This is an annual Easter affair
between the two mines and in every
case during the past four or five
years an interesting clash has
been waged. The Baggett'S Sta
dunn in Alexandria is the scene,
the hour 3 o'clock.
But that schedule. Teams from
every section of nearby Virginia
and Maryland are listed in
Wyche's book. Eastport, Chesa-
peake, Lynchburg, Winchester,
Quantico, Fredericksburg, Mar
tinsburg, Fort Eustis, Charleston,
Alta Vista, Newport News, West
Point, Front Royal. HarriSonburg,
Waynesboro, Richmond, Culpeper,
Danville, and Orange give you
some idea.
Says Wyche:
''I've got the dates all lined up
to back up the fact the games
are really scheduled. And many
Of the games are dOuble-head-
erS."
Well, here's the list and it must
be admitted it's quite list:
April IL, Celtics; IS. 10, Chesapeake;

81. Lynchburg; october 3, 4, West Point.
Speaking of schedules, the Read
Pharmacy nine is anxious to ar
range busy out-of-town list this
year, but is finding it difficult.
The team is really deserving Of
consideration as it possesses many
capable ball players, including AL
Kidwell, Jim Pepper, Bud Taylor
and Gordon Bartoo, who will play
after the interhigh school baseball
series is ended. The group is now
at Eastern High.
Charles c. Read, jr, is handling
the schedule at 2104 Minnesota
Ave. S. E., or phone Atlantic 4S15.
ArlingtOns Prepare
Now, a little about leagues. The
Arlington A. C. is making ready
for a title bid in the Northern
Virginia League, boasting such
players as Charlie Mintzell, first
sacker; Edgar Helm, catcher;
Teddy Clark, outfielder; Luther
Densburger, shortstop, and Carol
Mcpherson, third base.
The team has finished second
the last two seasons in the league,
but this year is determined to win
the championship.
A. G. Chron1ger is mapping
plans for a league for young play
ers out Prince Georges county
way. He will call it the Prince
Georges County League, and boys
81 years old and under will play.
He has eight teams rarin' to
90 at this writing, including
Bowie, Landover, Ardmore, Sea-
brook, Riverdale, Prince Georges
A. A., Congress Heights, and Ben
ming. The loop will open about
May /.
And last but not least, the Co
lumbar League. Joe Cohen is
president of that organization, as
we all know, and this year Joe
plans adding a midget class. The
Pee Wee and Insects will continue
strong as ever. Entries for all
classes are being received by Co
hen daily at his home, 610 Irving
st. N. w.
