Nader 10 Fiqht
Williams Here

Charles Hobo" Williams, who
chilled the highly-touted Eric Law
son in the first heat of their Sched-
uled Six-round bout here two weeks
ago, has been signed to meet the
New York heavyweight, Eddie Ma
der. in the 10-round feature bout
at Turner's Arena Monday night.
Contracts for the fight were
signed by Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn and Matty Herbert, Ma
der's manager, in Philadelphia.
Nader is one of the hardeSt-hit-
ting fighters in the heavyweight
division, and has scored over such
battlers as Hank Hankinson, Billy
Nichy, Tony Galento, Nathan
Mann and Terry Mitchell. In his
last local appearance he pounded
the tough Californian, Jack Roper,
for eight rounds only to lose on a
technical knockout when he slip
ped to the canvas and Sprained his
ankle.
Williams shifted headquarters
from Utica, N. Y, to Washington
a little over a year ago and has
lost only one fight since. He has
four first-round kayoeS in the last

ball player. In fact, scouts vino
toured the minor leagues last year
said that Early and Owen, the
latter a Columbus youth and the
property of the St. Louis Car
dinals, were the only young catch
ers of exceptional promise in the
minor leagues.
Bluege Arrives
Ossie Bluege arrived in camp
and in all probability will don his
uniform and go into action today
or tomorrow. BIuege was in
Tampa for several days before
driving into Orlando.
The old master hopes to play
regularly this season, but the posi-
bilities are all against any Sucn
development. The official Ameri-
can League averages of last year
establish the fact pretty clearly
that Bluege is the best all around
infielder in the league. But Bluege
will be a good all around ball
player if he is handled with some
intelligence. He needs certain rest
periods, like most of the others
and when he gets these, his career
as a ball player will be heightened.
Griff resolved word from Ed
Eynon this morning that the
missing pitcher, Kelley, fast ball
youth of promise, managed to get
on the wrong train. So instee i
of reaching Orlando, he wound
up some place else, and will be
here today or tomorrow.
Cecil Travis signed his contract
and one more worry is off the
mind of Griffith. Travis is all
ready to take up the matter OF
playing shortstop in the big league
manner.

There were about 40 gridders on
the Hilltop field yesterday. OF
this number, about Is were line
men, IS backs and 10 ends.
The linemen are small, com
paratively speaking. Dubofsky
has his work cut out for him de-
veloping a line out of the sort Of
material he has. He probably
will be able, later in the spring
practice, to look over some big fel-
lows, but yesterday he had none.
Have the "ActiOn"
The backs looked and acted real
well in yesterdays practice ses'
sion. They have the "action" of
excellent players.
Murtagh probably will encoun'
ter trouble developing four ca.
pable ends. His material, like
Dubofsky'S, is rather light.
Yesterdays practice was not a
lengthy one, yet it was fairly in
elusive. After long grass drill,
Coach Hagerty divided his squad
into three sections-linemen, ends
and backs.
The linemen Immediately got
down to fundamentals, with start

The ends went to the offensive
charge.

LANGLEY PLA MS NIGHT BASEBALL FOR OLD DON
8CIubs Ready
For Schedule
Of 23 TiItS
By GARRETT WATERS

DN OAhhG Il w a. AANO
The coming of March always
brings with it echoes Of the base
ball season. The big leaguers, OF
course. lead the way with their
noise and hustle of spring training
seasons.
However, the sandlotters, in
their smaller manner, are not far
behind. They get around to base
ball, either by holding meetings,
talking the game at every oppor-
tunity, or by actually getting out
on the field in practice when the
weather permits.
One particular sandlot group
has already begun mapping plans
for the coming season. 1t is the
nearby Virginia contingent which
finds Lawrence D. Langley leading
the activity.
Night Loop is Plan
Any mention of Langley imme-
diately signals recognition of the
Old Dominion League, of which he
is the major domo.
This circuit has been conducted
with sensational success for the
past three years. Now it promises
to advance even further up the
ladder.
In fine eve admit we should
have brought out the point sooner)
the circuit plans playing night
games this year. To come even
closer to the point, a night league
already has been formed which
will find eight teams in competi-
ton.
Ballston, Clarendon A. c.. Co.
lonial Village, Vienna A. c., Alex
andria City Police, Horning Jew
elers, Happy Valley and Fairfax
Station have franchises.
AS to schedule, % games will be
played, with the Ballston field the
scene for all contests. This park is
the only one in Northern Virginia
equipped with lights.
Games on Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday nights will
be played, with the schedule due
to open late in April. A trophy,
donated by R. E. Knight and Sons
will go to the champion team.
eve look for our greatest sue
cess in this new STEP" said
League President Langley TO-
day. 1--WE realize it's a big step,
but we are confident of having
a finished season."
How about your old Sunday
League, Mr.. Langley?
Sunday Loop, Too
That's to be conducted, too.
Langley is almost as enthusiastic
about this league as the night
organization. This circuit will have
ten teams, including Virginia
White Sox. Horning's Jewellers,
Clarendon A. c., ForeStville, Hume
Springs. Clarendon Cardinals,
Nokesville, and Park Lane.
This group also will play %
games. And a trophy also will go
to that champion from George D.
Horning.
Thus, it definitely seems there'll
be plenty of baseball for fans out
Northern Virginia way this sum-
mer. Lawrence Langley is and will
be seeing to that.

"AII boys are pioneers at

contented smile. Little Jimmy
Brady was just pioneering when
he came down here. Some kids
at his age ran away and Joined

the Seven Seas. They heard the
call of distant places. This boy
was called by baseball.
"There are 10000 boys today
who would gladly trade places

that ne caused his parents wOr-
ry and that is too bad. But the
spirit of adventure that lured
him forth is in the hearts of
other kids. OF course, we can't
encourage boys running away,
but, dOggOne it, 1 wasn't a great
deal older myself when I went
out to pitch my first game of
baseball.

laughed Griff. He knows a lot
about the game. When he rode
to DeIand to meet Mr.. ROwtan
to be carried on to PaIatka, he
talked about baseball.

Jimmy before he is older. Some
how or other, that little fellow
