Griffs' Pitching Staff
Rated Nil" by Experts

Despite Lack,
However
By PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, May l3 QN.S0
Wash ington has no pitchers.
Everybody says so, so it must be 50.
Charley Gehringer of the Tigers
likes the Senators, but he's not
high on their pitching. Joe Di-
Maggie of the Yanks turns up a
classic Roman Schnozzola when
Senatorial pitching is mentioned.
OSSie Witt of the Indians turns
thumbs down on Senator pitching.
Even their own pilot, Bucky Har-
ris, is said to be trying to bolster
his pitching staff.
It also is generally agreed that
pitching is about IS per cent OF
the game and without good pitch
ing a team can get nowhere.
With all that expert testimony
on tap, you take a look at the
standing Of the clubs, expecting to
see the Senators down on the
mourners' bench with the AS and
the Browns, but what do you find?
The minus pitching
in first place. You begin to
wonder if the Senators have no
pitching and then you happen to
recall a couple of nice shutouts
turned in by them and some other
neat, if not gaudy, performances,
and you come to the conclusion
that perhaps the Senator pitchers
aren't as weak on the ball field as
they are on paper.
ONLY SEVEN HITS
The slugging Tigers got but
seven hits, including Hank Green.

and Appleton yesterday, and once
again the Senators came down in

from Travis and Myer. Perhaps
the Senatorial pitchers are no
good, as stated. but If not. what

Of the others?
In the only other American
League game of the day, Bob
Feller of the Indians and Lefty
Gomez of the Yanks hooked up in
an old.fashioned mound duel with
the Cleveland youngSter finishing
on the head end. 80.
Young Feller famed nine and
gave five hits, including Lou
Gehrig's third homer. which ac-
counted for both Yankee runs.
Gomez also was in rare form,
but three of the four hits he
allowed were punched with two
errors for all the Indians runs
In the sixth.
YANKS, INDIANS TIED
The defeat dropped the Yanks
into a tie with the Indians for
second place.
There were only two games in
the National League. In one, the
Cubs picked up half a game on
the idle Giants by knocking off
the Dodgers, 9 to S. In the other,
the fast-stepping Reds shut out
the Bees, 4 to 0.
Bryant held the Dodgers at bay
after they shelled Epperly from
the mound in the first. Derringer
and Shoffner hooked up in a
nifty battle in Redland. Shoffner
gave only five hits, but one of
them was a homer by Billy Myers
with two aboard to put the game
on ice. Shoffner himself got two
Of the six hits off DerTinger-a
double and triple-but his mates
couldn't help him around.

|TERP PROSPECTS
dark IN YEARS.
STERNEST TESTS.
BY CHICK KENNY

The outlook is bleak for Univer
sity Of Maryland athletes this
week end. The Terrapins, who
have been going smoothly in all
branches Of sports during the last
two weeks, face perhaps the stern.
est opposition of the year.
This afternoon, Coach Burt Ship.
lley's nine entertains the powerful
University Of North Carolina at
College Park, starting at 4 o'clock.
Tomorrow the Terp nine opposes
Duke University, which already
holds q twin-bill decision over the
locals. This game is booked for
2:30 o'clock.
The Maryland trackmen journey
to West Point for dual meet with
Army's strong and well-balanced
array, while the lacrosSemen op.
pose the Naval Academy at An
|napoliS, and the tennis team plays
Georgetown.
OF the entire program only the
Stickmen appear to have q chance
for victory unless the netters re-
turn to form and defeat the
Hoyas. Certainly, the ball team
viii cause considerable surprise If
it manages to break even in its
tilts with the Carolina nine.
PACESETTER
North Carolina is the pace
setter in the Southern Confer
ence baseball race, and it will be
up to Bill Steiner, who defeated
Georgetown several weeks ago, to
Shackle the Tarheels.
With Steiner going today, Ship
ley probably will start Lefty
George Wood tomorrow against
Duke. Wood has been showing
well his last few times out and
the manner In which he turned
back Virginia Tech last week gives
one every reason to believe that
he is primed for this important
assignment.
One thing in Maryland's favor
in the clash with the Blue Devils
is the fact that the Duke nine
has played five games in the last
five days on q heavy jaunt
throughout the East. Such travel.
ing takes something out Of a team,
and as this Is the fag end of the
trip, hopes of the Terps to defeat
Jack CoombS' nine are not ill
founded.
HOT LACROSSE FIGHT
Should the Terrapin lacrosse
team defeat Navy tomorrow after.
noon it will have run its total of
consecutive intercollegiate vic.
tories to % straight. The game,
which will settle the national col
legiate championship, should be a
warm battle.
Although the Maryland middle
distance runners probably will
hold sway in the Army duel, it is
in the weight events in which
Army is expected to score heavily.
There is little hope for the Terp
field men to come through with
anything aside from third place
points.
Frank Cronin, as usual, will be
the spearhead Of the attack for
Maryland points. The youngster
is down for the Sprints, the pole
vault, his favorite; and any addi-
tional events to which he may be
assigned by Coach Swede Eppley.
In other track engagements to-
morrow, the indicated Catholic
University squad travels to Balti-
more to face Johns Hopkins, while
American Univers ity m e t S
Bridgewater on the latter's Gin
ders. The Cardinals should win
fairly easy, but it looks like cur
tains for the A. U. team.
