WESTERN NINE MARKED FOR INTERHIGH TITLE REPEAT
Top
Racing Card
For Today

NEW YORK, April 24.-The
Chesapeake Stakes, one of the
prime pre-Kentucky Derby props,
furnishes the week-end's chief in.
sight into the big classics posi-.
bilities this afternoon.
Renewed at Havre de Grace,
Md, the Chesapeake, over mile
and sixteenth, has drawn field
of nine, including War Admiral,
Glen Riddle Farms Derby hopeful
and one of the early favorites.
The son of Man O. War, easy
winner of his inaugural 3!year.
old start recently, is coupled in the
$4,000 added money fixture with
Over the Top, which also won last
out, and this pair appears capable
of holding the issue safe. Charlie
Kurtsinger will ride the Admiral
with joey Wagner up on the stable
mate.
Fairy Hill, Foxcatcher Farms
winner of the Santa Anita Derby
during California's winter season,
is among those entered and will
have M. Peters in the pilot house.
Court Scandal, the Flamingo
Stakes winner, will be ridden by
Earl Steffen; Matey has Harry
Richards; Quincy, C. Parke; Tedi.
Gus, L. Knapp; Sun Phantom, L.
Fallon, and Siam, w. Saunders.
All but Matey, Over the Top and
Sun Phantom are Derby eligibles.
Derby candidates will also do
battle at New York's Jamaica
course in the Stuyvesant Handi'
cap, worth $500 added. However,
this race with it's short siX-furlong
distance, does not shape up as a
true Derby test. Chicolorado, a
spanking winner of his last en-
gagement and regarded by some
as Derby dark horse, is in the
16-horse field with other powerful
ones being Rude, Melodist and the
A. G. Vanderbilt entry Of Airflame
and Savage. Rude is 122-pound
high weight.
Keeneland Park, in Lexington,
KY, stages the Ben Ali Handicap,
whirl of a mile and a sixteenth,
for three-year-olds and upward. A
half-dozen are ready to toe the
mark in this $4,000 added money
number with Dellor and White Tie,
Derby eligibles, aligned against
oldsterS. Count Morse, Sparta,
Giant Killer and Sir Jim James
complete the small group.

.Hoyd Nine Plays
Maryland Team

Weather permitting, local col
lege mines will line up for impor-
tant tiltS this afternoon, with
action seen at College Park, where
the University Of Maryland will
host the undefeated Georgetown
baseball team, and at Catholic
University, where the Cardinals
will entertain Western Maryland.
The Terp-Hoya embroglio ap-
pears to be the top flight attrac-
ton of the day, as both teams are
primed to stage hit-and-run
deluge. Just the other day Mary
land Whacked out a 1913 win over
Washington and Lee, and a week
or so ago Georgetown turned in a
near-similar score against Western
Maryland.
Maryland will probably start
Carl Ruble on the mound, and he
in turn will be opposed by either
Mike Petroskey or Hank Bertrand.
The game is listed for 3 o'clock.
Catholic u, undefeated in COL
lege ranks in the rejuvenation on
the diamond sport this year, should
have fairly easy going with West
ern Maryland which has done little
all season. The sensational 80 win
over Mt. st. Mary last week has
given the Red Bird nine something
to play for. Joe Anthonavagae is
slated to decorate the mound for
the Brooklanders. The game is
called for 2:30 o'clock.
A lacrosse game featuring Mary
land against st. Johns, of An.
napolis, will round out the college
sports schedule in this vicinity, for
the day. The Johnnies, boaSting
one of the strongest stick outfits
in the history of the school, are
figured to be on par with the
TerpS, who are the national inter-
collegiate champions in this grand
old Indian game.

sented, will be found in the fact
that they left II men stranded.
Pete Appleton was the victim of
the Mackmen. He contributed to
his own misfortunes in the third
inning by making a wild throw
past Hogan by way of breaking up
a squeeze play. But even if he
had thrown perfectly on the &C.
casion, the Griffs still would have
lost. Johnson's blast into the left
field bleachers with two on bases
would have settled that game re-
CARELESS.
Eddie Linke did a smart turn in
relief pitching. He relieved APP
pleton in the eighth inning and
allowed only one hit. He had
plenty Of stuff. In one time at
bat Linke drew base on balls.
There were one or two incidents
of unusual interest to leaven the
day. There was that unusual play
on Brucker. who was thrown out
by Appleton, via Myer. An at
tempt to force Chubby Dean
failed, but they got Brucker by a
step just the same.

Raiders Beat
Roosevelt for
Second Win
BY GARRETT WATERS


Even though the season is early
and a long schedule is ahead, the
Western High School nine is
marked for the championship
again in the interhigh school
baseball series.
The GeorgetownerS have that
bearing about them today, follow
ing their second consecutive tri-
umph in the series yesterday at
the Western stadium over RooSe-
welt Highs team. 8 to 3.
Yesterday Coach Cliff Moore'S
aggregation played flawlesS ball
to whip the Riders. The boys
had the old spirit, their play was
of the "uppish" sort, and gener-
ally there was an air of champion
about the entire teams makeup.
Bob Rafferty,, young right
handler, was the pitcher. He
turned in as good an effort as
will be recorded during the re-
mainder of the series. That is,
unless Kilmer BortZ, the Wood
row Wilson star, turns in another
of his umpteen strikeout games.
Rafferty, Is Steady
He tossed steadily, did not be-
come overly excited when the
Riders took a brief 2-to.0 lead
in the third, and, as the baseball
saying goes, got stronger as the
game progressed.
Behind him we're steady team
mates at every position. At short
and third were the 1886 veterans,
Addie Lawyer and Dick Lynham,
respectively. Behind the bat was
Johnny Alfoginis, captain and
catcher, while in the outfield were
Jimmy Middleton, in center, and
George Oertel, in right, both play
ing particularly brilliant brands
of ball.
Tommy Saylor, at first, and
Gene Cleary, at second, and Len
Weinstein, in left, balanced the
flashy array. Saylor hit home
run and made many forget the
team had a serious vacancy in
the graduation of Henry Doyle,
last years first sacker. Cleary,
though he did not hit like Bill
Edmonston, the 1886 keystone
guardian, fit in we'll as a fielder,
while Weinstein held up his end
In left.
Western went to work shortly
after Roosevelt scored its two runs
in the third. The boys matched
this and went two better by regis
tering four times in their turn at
bat.
Game Put in Bag
Then in the fourth two more
were scored while in the eighth
the game was put safely in the
bag with two "for-good-measure"
runs.
Dick Conover, lanky left-hander,
pitched for Roosevelt. He was very
good in spots, but lacked the class
Of the more experienced and tai
ented Rafferty,. Teddy Lagos
looked good at second for the Rid
ers while Thrift, at third, led the
team both at bat and in the field.
The victory now puts Western
into undisputed lead in the series
with two wins as against no losses.
For Roosevelt, the game marked
its debut. The boys, like their
pitcher, Conover, were good in
spots, but one or two more contests
are needed to smooth out all the
rough spots. Their next appear
ance should be mllch better
