House Rentals Raised
For Coronation

, Scores of apartments have been
let at four and five hundred dol.
lars for the week, while high
prices have been obtained for
small country houses near Lon
don.
Some of the coronation visitors
have discovered it will be cheaper
to live "all in" on one of the large
steamers which will be moored in
the Thames River during the
week. Others are taking single
rooms in the central London dis
trict, while poorer visitors are CO.
ing out into the SUBURBS, where
prices for accommodation in staid
rooming houses are considerably
lower than in central London.
Newspaper criticisms of the
rent ramp have been frequent,
one newspaper estimating, on the
price demanded for a West End
apartment for one week, the an
nual rental for this particular
apartment, which consists Of two
dressing rooms, one reception
room and bathroom, would work
out at $125,000.
A similar ramp concerns the
hiring of automobiles for the week.

LONDON, 0NS).-Despite re-
peated official statements that
property owners would not be per-
mitted to make the coronation Of
King George the occasion for a
price ramp, tremendous prices are
being demanded-and obtained
for houses for coronation week.
James w. Gerard, heading the
United States delegation to the
browning, was courageous enough
to refuse to pay SIS, 900 demanded
for q London house for the few
weeks he will be in London, and
will stay at an hotel.
Other prominents, however, re-
alizing they will have to do con-
siderable entertaining If they are
to be in the social swing, are pay
ing fantastic rents.
Examples of actual "letS" for
coronation week include $500 for
a house in fashionable Park Lane,
giving a view of the coronation
procession, while three thousand
dollars have been paid for a weeks
rental Of an apartment in st.
James's Street, without view OF
the procession.

Hagerty Almost Cut Him.

COACH JACK HAGERTY was forced
to lop couple of men off his squad
in the best interests of the team. but
Mellendick's work lately has more than
made up for the loss of man power.
The boy who might have sat undis-
covered on the bench but for injuries
to Bob Nolan and Elmer Moulin now
is being held up at the Hilltop as a
challenge to Marylands fine back, Jim
Meade.
Hagerty still shudders when he
thinks of how close he came TO cut
ting Mellendick off the Georgetown
squad year ago. A Baltimore boy
Che has lived there for the last nine
years, although born in Bayonne.

Loyola High School He played there
in 1888, ga and '35 winding up as
an all-Maryland State scholastic
choice in his last year. Among his
achievements was completing l9 of 90
passes against ST Joseph's in the
game which brought Loyola the city
championship. E.
But as a freshmen at Georgetown
he failed to impress. At one stage
Hagerty told him;

Penn State, but aside from natural
win-them-all desires, each school is
warily regarding the other and prin-
ing for two weeks hence. when they
clash in Washington's all-local piece
de resistance.
Two weeks ago Georgetown was in
no hurry for the Maryland engage
ment. The backfield was shattered by
injuries anr the morale of the team
was in the process Of being rebuilt.
sophomore named Joe Mellendick had
looked good against Pennsylvania. but
he was an unknown quality. The
Hilltoppers had yet to win a major
game and Maryland was rocketin9
merrily to victory after victory.
Maryland has not fallen off its hot
pace, but Georgetown has accelerated
to meet it. That sophomore. Mellen-
dick, isn't an unknown quality any
longer. True. Georgetown has yet to
win its first game, but in the last three
weeks the Hoyas have tied Penn and
powerful West Virginia and lost close
game to Manhattan. And the morale
now is what it should be.

Walter came to the Mats in the
Spring of 1886. Griff buying him for
$4,000 from Brooklyn. He talked like
a Dodger and at times Manager Bucky
Harris broadly hinted that he thought
like one. At best he could not have
weighed more than las pounds and
by the players he was rated a better
hitter than a receiver.
Still and all, Walter had fair
success behind the plate, espe-
ciasly with such usually COM
placcnt pitchers as Pete Apple

Miles had an unconscious flair for
using psychology. Always with chip
on his shoulder, he would bang ball
back to pitcher with uncomfortable
force and when he wasn't making the
hurler angry he was yelling, as he
did to Appleton, some pet name like
"C'mon, Iron Mani" Appleton. got

best performances were pitched with

Walter started to be a fighter, got a

him for the way he waded into jake
