Suggests High Mines
Play Pre|im Games,
Then Title Series

A novel but logical plan for i'm
proving the caliber of inter-high
baseball and increasing interest in
the pastime was advanced today by
Charley Guyon, Eastern coach and a
leading figure in high school sports
in this precinct longer than he may
care to remember.
This idea of two divisions and
play-of for the championship is q
big step in the right direction" he
admitted. But it can be improved
on, and think I have a good idea.
Why not play all of our outside
games early in the season, in April
and the first part of May, and after
getting them out of the way go into
an everyday championship sched-
ule?
1T would be patterned after the
major leagues programs. They play
practice games before opening their
regular seasons to get in shape for
the flag race. and that's what our
boys would be doing. OF course we
couldn't send 'em to Florida-that
may come later, but we can play
every day in the school series and we
should. You'd see vastly improved
brand Of high school baseball, and I
think it would add to the interest.
This year the divisional winners
are going to play one game for the
title. That's wrong. They should
play at least a three-game series,
or maybe five. One game isn't sum-
Icient to decide championship. FIRE.
quently a lucky break gives the
weaker team an edge in one game,
but In series of games the breaks
would be about evenly distributed,
and the better team would definitely
establish its superiority"
With this little gem of his chest
the Chief settled back to reflect on
the current inter-high chase that
finds his hopefuls precariously
perched on the brink of elimination.
We've got to win our next three"
he said, land Techs got to beat Ana
costa once for us to win, but it can
be done. We're not getting the power
at the plate we should Our pitching
is holding up, but those batters can't
even hit me-so you know it must
be sad"
1t was suggested that possibly one
Art Fairchild, Anacostia pitching
ace, had something to do with East
erns anemic batting.
That's right" the Chief agreed,
but it's wonder to me the boys
held up this long. Four out of five
balls he throws are curves, and even
big leaguers can't stand that pace
long. High school players don't like
curves and usually can't hit them,
so as long as Fairchild can keep
curving them he'll keep winning. But
I hate to think of what he's doing
to his arm"

Tech Lad EmuIutes Gehrio
Charley Kendall Relieved at First After
Playing More Thun 500 Innings

When Lou Gehrig ended his
consecutive game streak, Charley
Kendall, Tech High first baseman,
was peculiarly interested.
Charley, tall, capable young
ster, broke into the Maroon line
up in his second year in school
and since has been a fixture on
first. He not only played every
game, but every inning, and last
year finished with an average
well over 400. This year it hovers
around 300, and the lad is rated
ono of the best infielders in the
interhigh series.

Quick, Pal, the Cops!
Baxter and Terror
Are Due 10 Clash

Laverne Baxter, a gent considered
tops in the muscle-massaging FRA
ternity a couple of years ago, re-
turns to Turner's Arena this week to
make the acquaintance of the Golden
Terror, the boisterous, blimplike ar
tiste. Prof. Turner has consider
ately arranged his program so the
boys can meet in the Commute fea-
ture.
Baxter was q vicious actor in 1887,
when he visited our little growl
garage with some degree of regular
ity, but the Terror's bawdy capers,
by comparison, have made his thun-
der seem like the puny pop of a
penny f1recracker. This has mega
tive effect on Baxter. who takes
pride in his work, and Arena officials
anticipate another exciting evening.
BaXter's best hold is the four
finger windpipe whiffle, accomplished
by merely seizing your opponents
neck and squeezing with one hand
When two hands are applied, it au-
tomatically becomes the octet ozone
eliminator. and usually brings Ref
cree Cyclone" Burns on the run
with warning that no rough stuff
will be tolerated.
The Terror. who spends his spare
time thinking up more fouls, relies
on the old-fashioned eye-gouge for
his triumphs and says he gets good
results. His repertoire Of underhand
tricks has been so bad at times the
fans nearly rioted, but in this he is
surpassed by Baxter, who was thrice
collared by gendarmes for disturbing
the peace.
A suitable supporting card is be-
ing pieced together by Prof. Turner,
who is sort of looking forward to the
match himself.

Musterson
Continued From Page A-14.)

Ira Thomas of the Athletics recog-
nized talent in Masterson while
Walter was hurting a sandlot game,
but Connie reniged when informed
the kid wanted bonus for signing.
Mack May Regret Decision.
Mack, it developed, was weary of
granting bonuses to green young
sters and tired of dishing out
scholarships in wholesale fashion.
His youngsters from Duke weren't
balls of fire and he didn't feel
Masterson would be. He may live to
regret his decision If Harris opinion
is borne out.
Anyway, Scout Joe Cambria Of
the Mats was around at the time
and, for a few hundred dollars,
Masterson signed with Washington
with the proviso he was not to be
farmed out. He made a Western
trip with the Mats last year and
picked up some 18 pounds.
Walter was farmed to Charlotte,
N. c., for one game this season in
order to avoid possible duplication
Of the Bob Feller case in which
Cleveland was fined for plucking
him from the sandlots. He won
that game and returned to the Mats
with whom he will remain, for
Harris is eager to devlop him in
his own manner
Bucky will make certain Walter
isn't overworked, at the same time
giving Masterson an insight to the
finer points of pitching. He doesn't
feel Masterson will create any undue
sensation this season, but in Harris
mind Walter is ticketed for future
stardom.
Chase Brilliant for q While.
Despite the latest shellacking
there was another ray OF hope, for
Chase pitched brilliantly for six
innings, allowing only three hits
and no runs, before exploding in
the seventh. Then he was nicked
for all of Cleveland's runs on six
hits, two bases on balls and a costly
error by Shortstop Ossie Bluege.
Rookie Johnny Walaj, who played
left field; Taft Wright and Rookie
Jake Early divided among them the
six hits cleaned of Willis Hudlin,
who had labored some % innings
before the Indians could produce q
run for him. Joe Krakauskas was
to work for the Mats today, opposing
Bob Feller, seeking his fifth victory.
Nat Notes:
Cleveland and Washington ON
cials are talking terms. Manager
Harris won't talk, but don't be sur
prised if the Mats buy an outfielder
and ship Roberto Estalella back to
Charlotte.
Pitcher Harry Kelley is the latest
victim of illness with the Mats. He
was confined to bed yesterday, but
is expected to leave with the club
tonight for the two-game series at
Detroit.
Shortstop Cecil Travis is expected
to journey from Chicago, where he
was left under care of . physician,
70 meet the team at Detroit, but
1t Is doubtful If he will play for .
rev days. Charley Colbert may
neao from Chicago to Warrington
ana await the return Of the Mats

Mamakos May Tackle
kidd|eweight May u
In Outdoor Opener

Matchmaker Goldie' Ahearn has
turned to the middleweight division
in his efforts to obtain a suitable
opponent for Steve Mamakos, who
will grace the opening outdoor box
ing program Of the season May %
at Griffith Stadium. Ahearn tracked
down all available weiterweights In
a futile attempt to corral an oppo-
nent for the durable Greek and
found them definitely cool toward
the proposition.
Ken Overlin, still the legal owner
of the Southern lightweight crown
by virtue of a victory over Ben
Brown that was never erased, is one
candidate for the task of stopping
Steve. and, oddly enough, the mere
mention of Overlin's name slows
down the Greek boy. He knows
Overlin is smart, clever fighter
who might easily outpoint him. and
Steve wants to risk none of his
hard learned prestige without fair
chance Of adding to his box Office
value in the event that he should
win.
Heinie Miller, Boxing Commission
secretary, suggested Irish Eddie
Dolan of Buffalo as good prospect
and investigation of Dolan's record
discloses that he hasn't lost a bout
in three years, although held even
on occasion. Ahearn would sign
him Immediately if he thought it
would be q good fight, but logically
reasons that fighter good enough
to remain unbeaten In three years
surely would be more widely known
If top-flighter.
At any event. the inaugural def
nitely is scheduled two weeks from
tomorrow, and Mamakos will be In
there If Ahearn has to 60 in and
fight himself.

Anocostio, High Leader.
Loses to WI. Nine

Apparently working on the theory
that only interhigh championship
series games really count, Anacostia,
currently leading the Eastern divl-
sion of the scholastic race, dropped
5-3 decision to Westinghouse
High yesterday at Ballston.
Kirchner, the victor's hard hitting
third sacker, poled a home run in
the 9Th, scoring three runs, and dou-
bled in the 4th to shove over an
other, or enough to whip the Dis
trict team single-handedly.
Anacostia got off to a 20 lead in
the second with Gordon and Smith
pacing the batters, but couldn't
solve the puzzling offerings of Glenn
ents, who relieved Olsen at the end
Of the second inning.
