KICKED SENsELESS BY MULE
L. ID. Cannon of Seaf0rd, Brother
of Former State Senator Cannon

Lawrence d. Cannon, prominent
farmer of lower Delaware, and a
brother of former State Senator
John Roy Cannon, near Seaford, is
suffering from severe injuries
about the stomach as a result of
being kicked twice by one of his
mules. Mr.. Cannon entered a
stable Friday afternoon where the
mule was eating and evidently
frightened the animal, which be-
came unruly and started kicking.
The first kick of the mule caught
Mr.. Cannon's hand while it was
against the side of the stall and
cut the end of his little finger off
The mule then kicked him in the
stomach. He was found lying in
the stable unconscious by one of
his farm hands. DR.. H. M. Man
ming of Seaford was summoned and
gave medical treatment. Mr.. Can
non is reported improving.

Army and Navy
Teams Clash

Army and Navy teams are eX-
changing visits today as they do
regularly at this season. The
Army lacrosse men are the guests
of the Middies at Annapolis, while
the Navy baseball and track men
are fighting it out with the Ca
diets at West Point.
Everything points to the closest
possible battles in all three sports,
while the general series in all lines
is the closest that exists between
any two colleges.
The Navy contingent Is de-
lighted that they Will have the
services of Jack Sullivan, second
attack, thought by Coach Dinty
Moore to be the strongest element
of the Navy attack. Wrestling
with his studies, he has been out
of the game for a month.
Picks Starters
Moore has picked Stew Miller
and Maurice RindSkopf for his
starters in the close attack posi-
lions. Dick Bowers, Steve Mann
and George Muse are in reserve.
The Army squad is at Annap-
oils. It includes Monk Meyer, the
flashy football back. 1t will be his
last encounter with Navy team.
Coach Tommy Thompson has
decided to run Jack Dalton, sprint.
ing ace, in the quarter mile and
220-yard, leaving him out Of the
100-yard. The match is toss-up.
The Army looks better in the hur-
dies and distance events. The
Navy has the edge in the sprintS
and most of the field contests.
Bruckel on Mound
Marty Karow has about decided
to start Jerry Bruckel, sophomore,
on the mound against the Army
batsmen. Possibly Frank Mckay
in the graduating class will have
a chance. 1t looks like another
close contest. The Army did its
best work early in the season, ana
the Navy nine has been coming
along steadily and has won five
of its last seven games.
The Navy leads in lacrosse by
6 to 2, the Army in baseball by II
to IL and in track by 8 to 2. In
all sports, the series stands: Army
| So; Navy, 40.

BOSTON, Mass, May 30
Probably the most sought-after
ball player in the major leagues is
Eric McNair, of the Boston Red
Sox. With the exception Of the
st. Louis Browns, every Western
club in the invasion just closed
made a pass at the current second
baseman of the Red SoX. Boston
demanded outfielders and pitch
ers. They'd be willing to skip the
outfielder, but all trades must be
predicated upon the proposition OF
a pitcher coming to Boston.
One week ago when the Detroit
Tigers were here, the proposition
of a trade was discussed. The Red
Sox wanted Pete Fox, now playing
right field for the BengalS, and
Eden Auker, one of the generally
sought pitchers of the American
League. The GriffS have tried to
acquire title to Auker for the past
little while, but without success.
The Red Sox are as badly over
stocked with second basemen as
the Griffs are with catchers. At
present, the Sox have Oscar Me-
lilo and Bobby Doerr on the
bench. Either one of these boys
could play second for a big league
team. Melillo is moving along the
trail of baseball years. Doerr Is
just starting his big league career.
AlI.ArOund Player
There is not too much chance
of McNair leaving Boston right
now. He is a shortstop; probably
a better shortstop than Cronin,
without the latter's driving power
at the homeplate. He can play
third base in acceptable style,
thus enhancing his value as an
all-around player.
For a long time, the writer has
commended that a job might be
created for old ball players acting
as official scorers. The records
Of the game, if they're worth
anything, might be Safeguarded
by having veteran infielderS pass
on the value of balls hit along the
ground. Veteran infielders should
be competent judges Of such mat
tiers.

ming here yesterday. Buck New

Midget Auto Races
Slated at Cumberland

Due to the increased interest
shown in the Inaugural Midget
Auto races that were scheduled
for May and May 9, and were
postponed on account of heavy
rains damaging the track at the
Fair Grounds at Cumberland, Md.
the events have been carded for
tomorrow and Monday.
Due. to the fact that this is new
territory for the sport, it is ex-
pected that quite a large crowd
will witness the program of six
races each day and if it should
prove successful, Cumberland will
be hooked up with one of the
larger midget racing circuits which
will provide cars and drivers for
monthly events.

ninth hole, and again after the
first 10, he was only one up.
On the last 36, however, his
long, powerful drives and accurate
puts again showed his superiority,
enabling Sweeny to claim the cup
after the thirty-fourth green.
Mum was not able to equal
Sweeny in the length of his drives,
his forte being accuracy on fair
way and green.
Based on perSistency, Sweeny
had the best claim to the cup, for
he has been trying for the cham
pionShip at least a decade. Still
young, Sweeny has a good chance
to retain 1t.

Thus, both hurlers pitched de

it necessary to pick up the pair as

Two other hurlers were stand

ting Tech the runners-up berth in
the standings.
There we're several good first
sackers in the series, including
Rowles of central, and Kendall
of Tech. But Hawksworth, of Will
son, handled himself with the
greatest class and was easily the
best hitting first sacker of the
league.
Lee LuSby is given the second
base post over such talented young
sters as Teddy Lagos, of Roose-
welt, and Jim Curtis, Of Tech.
Lusby played good ball through
out the series and, best of all, was
one of the Parkers' best hitters.
Lawyer and Thrift
Hitting gives Lawyer, of West

positions at short and third. Law

nothing this season to lower his

Joe Ciomei, of Tech. leads the
Dutfield brigade. The little per
former was easily the outstand-
ing gardner of the series. Even
though small ard chunky, Ciomei
could both hit and field. And
he wasn't a bad thrower either.
Everett O'Brien was Eastern's
most powerful batsman, not to
forget one of the best of the en-.

There was familiar strain tc
the inter-high baseball song and
dance this spring,
1t seems the Eastern High
School nine led the refrain again
In other words. the Parkers
wrapped the championship up in
the record books for another
season.
1t was an old tune the North
east boys gave their rivals. They
played five games and won 'em
all. And, of course, when you do
that in a short series like the
lnterhigh, there's nothing else to
follow but the title.
In keeping with this achieve
ment-which, incidentally, was
the schools tenth championship
in IS years-the team produced
four performers talented enough
to make" The Washington Times
All-High Team of 1887.
Two of these youngsters are
pitchers, namely. Rip Carver right
handler, and Walter Stockwell, left
handler.
Both Responsible
Both are selected because be-
tween them they we're responsible
for all of those victories in the
series.
More about that later. The
other Eastern selections comprise
Everett O'Brien, normally center
fielder, who is placed in right field,
and Lee Lusby, second sacker.
Bill HawksWorth. woodrow Will

Western, shortstop; Johnny Thrift,
Roosevelt, third sacker; Johnny
Alfoginis, Western, catcher; Joe

is placed in left field, complete the
team.
Now about Carver and Stockwell
again. The latter was EaStern's
starting pitcher in the early games,
