| wonder if they were kiddin'
when they told me this story:
A local politician in an enthu-
siastic mood, stood in drug
store surrounded by interested
(?) listeners. AS usual he was
telling 'em all about what was
going to happen in this State
during the next four years and
ended up by predicting that
they, the drug store listeners,
might at that moment be look
ing at the next Governor of
Maryland! GOSH bet that's
gonna cause a lot of sleepless
nights for Governor O'Conor,
General Lane, Comptroller Mil
lard TaWea, Howard Bruce, and
Willie Curran!
After all, somebody ought to
tell 'em about it. Here we are
just getting down to- business
and W pops small lad with
big ideas. Its gonna be tough
and somewhat embarrassing
for the Big Shots when he
makes that announcement at
the proper time.
But if you should hear these
echoes in the future don't say
didn't warn yuh! SO keep your
fingers crossed. And, inciden-
ally, and off the record, get it
right from the feed box that
there amt no mouthpieces run
ming wild in this state for any
Of the Democratic leaders.
All the boys are plenty capable
of speaking for themselves!
S funny how political rumors
multiply. 1t reminds me of the
old army game. Not so many
weeks ago we mentioned in this
column that the Republicans
almost succeeded in placing a
Mayor at the head of the city
government. Almost Immediate
Iy several Democrats circulated
the report that the COP had
raised a fund of $4,000 to wage
a campaign of some sort to
put over their candidate-stilI
unnamed. Now amt that
screwy idea? Who in the world
would spend five grand to get
a job which guarantees daily
headaches. AS a matter of fact
it's worth that much to even try
to please us yokels!
And speaking of mayors
brings to mind our chief execu-
tive. Mayor Sweeney is taking
things in their stride without
making a lot of fuss about it.
He is sticking to the job, giving
city problems plenty of study
and making no rash decisions in
matters with which he is not
vet familiar. In other words he
is determined to know what 1t
is all about before going into
action. All of which indicates
that he is making start in the
right direction.

Every one of the Is qualiflers

INDIANAPOLIS, May 20. -
Jimmy Snyder, once milk wagon
driver in Chicago, captured the
pole position today in the start
ing lineup for the Memorial Day
500-mile automobile race during
a thrill-packed speed session
which saw IS cars qualify for
the race and Johnny Seymour
of Crosse Point, Mich, escape
with his life when his car hit
the wall and was destroyed by
fire.
Snyder, a husky blond dare
devil who is widely known as a
midget race driver, wheeled one
of the 6-cylinder Joel Thorne
entries for the 10-mile qualifying
jaunt at a speed of 130.138 miles
an hour, breaking both the quail
flying and one-lap records. His
best lap was turned at 130.757
miles an hour. The old one-lap
record. also held by Snyder, was
13O.492 miles an hour. The old
qualifying record was 125.769

HOYLAKE, England, May 90
Americas chances of retaining the
British amateur golf championship
took a sharp drop today as defend
ing champion Charley Yates of At
lanta. Ga, went completely off his
game
He completed his practice rounds
for the tournament that opens Mon
day by scrambling around the royal
Liverpool course in 78-five over par.
Critics found Yates guilty of push
ing his drives, cutting his irons and
even temporarily losing his marvel
GUS putting touch.
But of all those concerned over
the slipshod round he turned in.
Yates was the least perturbed. He
worked for awhile on his woods from
the practice tee this afternoon-and
then went off to a picture show!
I'll get it (his game) back by
Monday" he confidently told re-
porters.
Meanwhile the staggering 49,
year-old Irish champion, Jim Bruen,
wound up his practice and stood as
serious challenge to the blond
Yates.
Bruen turned in sensational
69-four under par-on his last lap
around the course today. In five
rounds over this course. which is
the longest in England, Bruen stands
II under par.

Carr, Sports Leader,
National Grid Loop
President, Dies
Helped Minor BoseboII
Revival; Was Builder
Of Pro Football
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 20.-Joe F.
Carr, one of the great organizers of
the sport world, was looking forward
to even more successful baseball and
professional football seasons shortly
before his death today.
In recent letter. summing up the
success of the 1898 campaigns. he
wrote, I'VE are looking forward to
greater improvements in days to
come"
He had engineered the revival of
minor league baseball from the time
when only dozen leagues were
operating, and most of them in
danger of folding up, to last years
successful seasons for 81 leagues.
And he said he expected 40 minor
leagues to operate through the 1899
campaign.
Carr played leading role in the
organization of the National Profess
sional Football League at Canton,
Ohio, in 1921. He was elected presi-
dent then, much against my will
when I was out of the room" and
the league never has had another
president. Last February he was re-
elected for a 10-year term.
George Marshall, president of the
Washington Redskins, issued the fol-
lowing statement upon learning of
Carr's death:
THE death of Mr. Carr is a serious
blow to the National Football League
but our loss is not nearly as great a
loss as to sports in general. Mr..
Carr was an outstanding man in
sports, amateur or professional, and
one of the finest men I ever have
known In my life"

trying to beat out the fire in his

Bv BILL DISMER. Jr.

Lefty Early Springer, University of
Maryland's stellar junior southpaw,
came close to pitching a perfect
game yesterday when he let George
town down with two scratch hits as
his Terps swept the 1899 home and
home series with their neighboring
rivals in a 40 victory.
Allowing only % Hoya batters to
come to the plate at College Park,
Springer struck out II, walked only
one and permitted nary a Hoya to
advance past first base on the three
occasions they got that far. An
infield rap by Jules Koshlap which
Shortstop Eddie johnson got his
hands on in the first inning. but
which left him in no position to
throw. and a bunt down the first
base line by Lou Ghecas in the
fourth constituted the lone times
Georgetown batters were credited
with hits"
Two Hoyas Out Stealing.
AS both were caught stealing, it
appeared as if Springer might be
compelled to face no more than
the minimum number of batters,
but Jim Durkin drew the Mary
land aces lone pass in the eighth
and died on first as Pajak and
MCGOWAN struck out and McFad-
den fouled to Knepley.
Always ahead of the batter,
Springer was as cool throughout
as the weather was hot. Only four
balls were hit to the outfield off
his deliveries and none of them
presented difficult chance for the
Terp f1y-chasers. The kid was, III
short, superb.
But for a strict Interpretation of
the rules, Springer's streak of sew
en- straight victories would have en-
abled him to end the season as an
undefeated pitcher Because he
worked the first three innings of
the Terps' opening game and yield
ed Ohio State a lead which they
never lost, Springer officially was
charged with the defeat
Springer not only wound up his
own season sensationally, but also
enabled Maryland to end what has
been one of its most successful dia-
mond campaigns. Finishing with a
string of 10 successive victories, the
Terps won 16 of their 20 games and
didn't lose decision after April IS.
Because their Southern Conference
schedule called for only II games,
of which were rained out, it ap-
pears the Old Liners have little
chance for the loop title.
Tough Season for G.. U.
Georgetown, on the other hand,
wound up the worst season it ever
had experienced under Coach Joe
Judge. Yesterdays defeat was its
sixth in IA games. far cry from
Judges first undefeated team of 1887
and the 1888 nine which won 10 out
of Ia.
One run would have won for Mary
land yesterday, but the Terps broke
Willie Wixteds shutout spell with q
pair of hits in the fifth inning which,
coupled with two errors, produced
two runs. Fritz Maisel opened the
frame with sharp single to left, and

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 90
Western Conference officials gave
sympathetic consideration today to
a request by the University of Chi
cago for permission to bolster its
numerically small squads with
transfer students and graduate stu
dents. but deferred any decision
until next winter.
The proposal met both opposition
and approval during informal dis
cussions. 1t seemed apparent how
ever, that majority of the coaches,
athletic directors and faculty rep
resentatives leaned toward the idea
OF helping Chicago improve the
caliber of its teams, to raise COM
petitive standards and forestall
possible withdrawal of the Maroons
from the conference.
Denial of any intent to Withdraw
from the Big Ten was made, the
memorandum said, because of "un-
founded rumors from time to time"
that such move was contemplated
by Chicago.
