BY FRANK BUCK O'NEILL

ORLANDO, Fla, April 2.-Mr.
Louie Buck" NewSom is still sew
eral weeks away from the opening
of the major league season. This
is true not only as we scan the
calendar, but as we study the
form Of the Huntsville Hercules.
There is a lot of hard, earnest
work in front of Newsom before
he can hope to stop American
Legue opposition.
Newsom worked five innings
against the Chattanooga Lookouts
in Sanford yesterday and left
with the score tied at Sail. This
was all right as far as it went, but
it didn't go very far.
What is more indicative Of the
quality of NewSomS performance
is that he gave seven bases on
balls, and was in the three-and-
two slot entirely too many times
for a major league pitcher work
ing against minor league opposi-
ton. Four of Newsom's seven
bases on balls came in the fourth
inning but, fortunately enough,
Chattanooga made only one run
against him.
His greatest display Of stuff
was made with Bobby Estelalla
at bat. Newsom struck out the
Cuban twice, really doing some
major league pitching. NewSom
said he had a bliStered finger
which affected his control.
Bucky Harris watched the per
Torrance of Howard Mcfarland
with rapt attention. The rangy
young Lookout is tabled as q
sure-shot major league gardner.
There is one prov1so. He must
learn to hit.
Dee Miles slapped a hit into left
field off Newsom in the first
inning. It looked ever so easy.
Jimmy Wasdell forced Miles at
second a moment later when he
overswung on change Of pace.
Cecil Travis slapped a single
back through the box, and Banner
hoped to one side to avoid being
hit by the ball.
It is quite apparent that Buck
Newsom has very little use for
Bobby Estalella. He hurled three
curves to the Cuban, and they
were the best curves Newsom has
thrown this spring.
Jake Early has learned a lot in
his spring trip. The kid is as quick
as cat behind the bat. He is well
on the road to mastering the knack
of swapping into position to throw
the ball. He looked bad at bat.
Jimmy Wasdell looked very good
at first base. The youngster has
good hands and knows how base
ball should be played.
Kirby Hayes, a high school
youngster relieved Banner in the
box in the fourth inning. This is
his first year in the better class OF
baseball. The crowd gave the kio
a good hand. 90.
Hayes broke three curves ovel
the plate for Buddy Myer. Tit
ball fairly exploded as Eddie Ain
smith jerked his thumb in the air
Myer was chagrined no little, but
he didn't complain at the decision
Of the umpire. AS a matter o.

Although they'll deny It. the
Brooklyn directors had Burleigh

waiting for an excuse to pay off

was why they went into hiding for

ST. ALBAN'S NINE LOOKS TO SUCCESSFUL BIAS
Team Debuts
Today With
Wilson
BY GARRETT WATERS

Basketball, with Western High
holding down the spotlight, from
o local standpoint, in the Glen
Falls tournament at Glen Falls,
New York. is still in the minds OF
most schoolboy addicts these early
spring days.
But with many others that old
standby, baseball, is creeping into
the picture to announce the fact
that spring is definitely around
the corner regardless Of whether
we wonder or not.
To prove the point, the baseball
minded will give vent to their en-.
thusiasm out Wisconsin Avenue
way today where the St. Adams
and Woodrow Wilson mines are
scheduled in their opener for the
season.
The teams, of course, will put
forth their best efforts to make
their respective debuts successful.
The st. Adams field is the scene
of the clash; the hour, 3:15 p. m.
Vision Good Season
st. Adams visions an enjoyable
campaign, what with the material
In uniform. One reason is the
presence of Gardner Marsh, vet
eran pitcher, who will be on the
mound today. Marsh, a right
handler, has compiled an envious
record for the Saints in his three
years of duty, and hopes to make
this campaign his tops before
graduating in June.
Other veterans are Terry Gray
son, first baseman; Dick Lee, Sec
ond base; Billy Adams, third base;
Charles Hawley, left field, and
Rollie White, center field.
Jack Fletcher, catcher, and
Stratford Wentworth, shortstop,
are newcomers showing UP well.
Other candidates looking good are
Bill Currie, Bill Lane, Jim Rum
bough, Bill Alexander and Spen-
Ger Russell, outfielders, an d
BOATS" Jennings, pitcher, ana
Jack Hare and Granville Munson,
eatchers.
Attractive Schedule
The Saints have an attractive
schedule lined up, including TO-
days clash. Games with Episco-
pal, Georgetown Prep, Rockville,
Tome, Gilman, Charlotte Hail.
Woodbury. and Landon are on llst,
with McDonough Prep, of Baltl-
more. serving as the final contest
of the season, May %.
Little is known of the woodrow
Wilson nine at present time. The
team has one asset, however, that
promises to be huge help In the
coming interhigh series.
That asset is Kilmer Bortz,
pitcher. !rortz won several tough
games for the Presidents last year
and is expected to give all op-
ponents trouble this spring. He
will, in all likelihood, pitch a few
innings today against st. Adams.
Interhigh Opener Shifted
The Woodrow Wilson-Tech inter
high opener is settled insofar as a
site is concerned. The game, orig
inally slated at the Tech Stadium,
April 9, will now be played at the
Roosevelt Stadium, same date.
The scene was shifted in respect
to the field situation" at Tech
High. IA new diamond is being
constructed there now, making it
impossible for the playing Of any
games this spring.
This means the Tech nine will
play all of its interhigh games on
foreign territory, the first being
the woodrow Wilson contest OF
April 9, scheduled as stated above,
at the Roosevelt Stadium.

the hospitals of the city, especially
the city and county institutions
where colored patients are some
times neglected by hospital work
ers.
In addition to this work the club
plans to do Bible study work un-

TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB
PARTY POSTPONED

Due to circumstances beyond our
control the Twentieth Century Club
will not be able to present its an
nual Pre-Lenten party.
The power of race discrimination
the renters of private clubs and
halls hold, has blocked every move
the Twentieth Century Club has
made in trying to give you an out
standing party.
Our regrets will be felt in your
keen disappointment. However, the
public will not be denied a Twenti-
eth Century entertainment in the
year of 1887.
We ask your kind indulgence and
in return the Twentieth Century
Club will offer to you, in the very
near future, a dance that will top
all other Twin City entertainment.
