BY FRANK "BUCK" ONEILL
The Washington Baseball club
today traded age and experience
as represented in Carl Reynolds,
outfielder, and Ralph ("Red'D
Kress, utility infielder, for the
fire and speed of youthful Jimmy
Wasdell, first baseman of the
Minneapolis Club of the Ameri.
can Association. Waivers were
received from all major league
clubs on the veterans today, and
their contracts were assigned to
Minneapolis. Reynolds and Kress
are 1O-year men in the majors,
but since all clubs waived on
their services, it is likely that
they will report to the MillerS.
WaSdell will not report to
Washington at Orlando. He was
Immediately released to Chatta-

University Of Maryland basket
ers face North Carolina in Chapel
Hill, N. c., tonight with scant
hopes of victory following their
IS to SO setback at the hands Of
North Carolina State in an over
time game in Raleigh last night.
A long goal by Dalyrymple, Wolf
pack forward, knotted the count
at 81 to 81 two minutes before
the end of the regulation period.
Capt. Fred Thomas, Old Line
forward, dropped in a two-pointer
after three minutes of the extra
period had passed and it appeared
the Old Liners would win. Only
As seconds were left when Bennie,

mid-court and then MacBerry

winning goal with only 20 seconds
remaining.

in progress.
The subject tonight is a party
known as Bob Pastor, who not
only promises not to submit to the
operation but even suggests that
the professor is a bum who
wouldn't know a scalpel from a
bodkin. The odds of 81 declare
that the said subject. Pastor, is
a bum himself but there's just
enough doubt about the matter to
produce an element of technical
interest.
