ANNAPOLIS, April 81. Navy
baseball, pushing ahead under
Max Bishop, former Athletic sec
ond baseman, will have a severe
test when the MILDLY nine takes
the diamond against Maryland at
Annapolis this afternoon.
Bishop, taking hold on short
notice after Marty KaroW left for
Texas A. & M, had a $3.50 season
set as his goal, but is running far
ahead of schedule. The Navy nine
has won five games SO far this
season and lost but two.
Jimmy Madison, of the B-squad,
who delighted Navy fans by blank
ing Michigan, will probably be on
the mound for the Navy. Madi-
son, from Mississippi, has fine
curve ball and is one of the best
hitters on the squad. Jamie Adair
will be on the receiving end.
A Snappy infield, with Bob
Wooding, first: Walter McGuin
ness, second; Howard Thompson
short, and Lem Cooke, third, has
been developed under Bishops
coaching.
Bill Ingram is captaining the
team and playing great game at
left field. Ralph Mann and Pete
Powell are the other outfielders
Ingram is the only one of the trio
who has been hitting the ball SO
far, but the other two are about
due.
