Pitchers Prefer
Cotchinq of 1ebbets

2 The Tigers are not so glad. In
George Tebbetts they have smart
catcher, fast and smooth, who ham
dies the pitchers in something like
the style to which they were accus-
toned by the great Mickey Coch-
rane. The pitchers like to pitch to
Tebbets. They are not sold on York.
Rudy is solid target, and he has
good arm, but he is slow, undepend-
able, and not too shrewd a judge
OF hitters.
But no manager can afford to
keep Rudolph Preston York on the
pinewood seating facilities all sea-
son. Last season, in an of year, he
drove in 127 runs and set a new
major league record with four grand
slams-home runs with the bases
full-in single season.
His big bat is a Cinch to account
for more than 100 runs a year.
Paired with Hank Greenberg, he
gives the Tigers a one-two punch
that rivals the power of the Med
wick-Mize axis in st. Louis and the
Di Maggio-Gehrig- -Dickey line in
New York.
Mr.. York's sufferings when trans
planted to the outfeld are dis
tinctive. but not unique. There was
Babe Herman OF Brooklyn, for in
stance. Much has been written,
some of it true, about the way tall
flies ricocheted off the Babes skull
into distant parts of the outfeld.
The Babe used to sing, in the man.
ner of AL Jolson:
1T isn't raining rain at all,
It's raining horsehide balls"
p York's plight in the outfield was
much worse than Hermans, for the
Babe was fleet as a deer, while
Rudolph cannot get out of the way
OF a line drive, no matter how fast
be runs. Thus, he is forced to box,
wrestle and generally intimidate the
balls that come his way, and, since
q line drive cannot successfully be
bluffed, he usually loses the decision.
Manager Baker is going to make
the best of Rudy as catcher.
"He's not so bad," says Delmar
cheerfully. "Strong arm, you know
and he's learning the hitters. He'll
try hard. But I wish" says Mr..
Baker wistiully, that he didn't get
whaddyacallit out there in the
Jprairie."
I guess the word is agoraphobia.

81 Contests Carded
For Terp Teams in
-Four Pastimes
Baseball, Tennis, Track,
Lacrosse All Promise
Capable Outfits

A 54-event spring sports program,
to be inaugurated with a baseball
game with Ohio State on March ~,
was announced today for University
Of Maryland athletes. Twenty -four
baseball games, 9 lacrosse tilts, Z
track meets and 13 tennis matches
are scheduled.
About two-thirds of the spring
competition will take place at Col
lege Park. The baseball team will
travel for 8 of its "a games, but the
lacrosse squad will play 6 of its 8
games at home and the track team
will participate in only 2 out-of-
town meets.
Ohio State, Dartmouth, Michigan,
Rutgers and Georgetown are the
"big" names on the baseball sched-
ule with Southern Conference rivals
rounding out the list. The lacrosse
team, as usual. will play practically
every important team in the coun-
try while the tennis team has a
suicide" schedule. Dartmouth heads
tough track card.
All of the squads lost some stars
through graduation and for other
reasons, the lacrosse outfit being
the hardest hit, but all appear likely
to have teams close to the usually
strong standard. A shortage of field
men will be a drawback to a track
squad that has an array of fine
runners.

Both games were spirited through

opening period. In the second
quarter, however, Betty OFT found
the hoop three times to pace the
Mounts into 1873 advantage by half
time as G. w. was held scoreless.
Miss Strickles again led the G. w.
girls with three baskets in the Sec

York's Agorophobio
Keeps Him 'Ketchinq'
By JOHN LARDNER,

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE Ol 1uc 0ldIs
LAKELAND, Fla, March IA
Self-preservation is the first instinct
Of Indian and white man. Word
came to Rudolph Preston York, at
his Georgia home not long ago,
that the Detroit Tiger management
was going to take him out from
behind the happy security OF his
catcher's mask and throw him into
1.-The outfield, the home of the wild
line drive and untamed fly ball,
where the wind whistles free and
the life of an honest Cherokee is
not worth dime.
Hearing the news, York dashed
Into his house, barred the doors and
windows, and signaled desperately
through the chimney in the lam
guage of his ancestors, smoke.
!, II will not come out of here COM
ma" signaled Rudolph, until this
fiendish plot on my life is aban-
doned stop"
You can send message like that
for dollar in Georgia, special day
smoke rates.
Manager Del Baker of the Tigers
tried cajolery.
Thick Glove and
Sun Glasses Offered
IF you come out, Rudy" he said,
I'LL give you an extra thick glove
and a pair of sun glasses"
who wants to be buried in sun
glasses?" signaled the unhappy Mr..
York.
THE outheld is easy" urged Mr..
Baker. Look at Joe Di Maggie"
''You look at him." replied Rudy.
THAT guy takes his life in his hands
every day."
Come on out and give it a try"
pleaded Mr.. Baker. Don't you want
to be another Ty Cobb"
I'D rather be a live York than a
dead Cobb" snarled Rudolph
through his chimney. I'll play the
outf1eld if I can wear my ketcher's
mask, my protector, my shin guards
and a fireman's helmet. Otherwise,
I will stick it out along these lines
If it takes all summer"
Manager Baker finally yielded,
and Rudy York emerged from his
fortress on the solemn promise of
the management that he would not
be asked to 60 close to an outfield.
He is down here in Lakeland now,
training behind his cozy cage,
through which no regulation base
ball ever has penetrated, his sensi-
tive entrails sheathed in protector,
his delicate shins defended by shin
guards.
"Why the heck should I play the
outfield?" demands this conserva-
tive Redskin. I'm no more scared
Of beaning than the next guy, but
the next guy would be scared, too,
if he knew that every other fly ball
was going to drop on his head. I
can't play the outfield. Ketching is
my business. I'm glad they're gonna
let me ketch.''

lion by the sea has a special ap-
peal, as they were brought up
near the sea and know it's bounty
and its disappointments. In fact.
tney wouldn't exchange Ein-Geb
with its primitiveness and isola-
ton for a full-fledged settlement
inland. They love the sea, use it's
waters to cultivate the hoary, neg
Iected soil, and for their own
pleasure or for fish always seem
TO be wading deep into it. And
uppermost in their minds is to
turn Ein-Geb into a flourishing
fishing center. They are still too
poor to concentrate entirely on
fishing, although the country can
still consume many hundreds of
thousands of pounds more than it
does. So to maintain the group,
some of Ein-Geb's settlers are
working as day laborers in Haifa,
besides those who cultivate the
reluctant soil itself. But all of
them hope in time to be able to
live from fishing alone. Fishing
is nearest to their hearts. The
women themselves make the nets
and the men have built the boats.
Toward evening eight of them
glide out to sea, frequently with
great success, catching as much
as 80 pounds a day, and market
ing it Immediately. To perfect
themselves they have engaged a
fishery, friendly Christian from
Danzig. In time they hope to
have better fishing boats. The
motor boat meanwhile cannot be
used for this purpose because of
the noise of its engine.
For the present there are only
few married couples at Ein-Geb
and no children, so that they are
not concerned yet over the ques-
ton of school and house for
children. AS for medical needs,
Tiberias has the fine Hadassah
Hospital and plenty of physicians.
It's pressing problems are the
need of a road to the mainland,
sufficient electricity, better living
quarters to give life to the soil
around them and to bring in
larger hauls of fish. In short, to
make Ein-Geb a place worthy of
Lower Galilee and it's neighbors
across the Lake, Kinnereth and
Dagania.

taking people from Liberals to all
the adjacent settlements along the
shores. And even more important,
since Ein-Geb is developing into
very important fishing base,
the boat is naturally most vital
instrument.
AS we reached the shore and the
tiny huddle of houses appeared
as the network of a complete set
tlement, members hailed us and
helped us ashore. There were
profuse expressions of welcome for

Geb is virtually cut off from the
rest of the country, not only ge-
geographically but also in commu-
nication. It has no road or tel
ephone connecting it with the
mainland. The only link is an I'M
wieldy and primitive wireless set
which was constructed by some
of the members and housed in one
of the sleeping huts. Those oper-
ating it must never leave it's side
for a minute, since it is the only
means of contact. And although
the Arab neighbors have not
troubled them during these diff
cult months, the wireless and the
other means of defense must be
watched assiduously. And though
the huts are still very primitive,
the kitchen even more so and the
supply of electricity meagre, the
watch tower and the defensive
stockades are complete and in full
working order. For whatever a
new settlement may allow or deny
itself in these times, one thing is
indispensable-the measures for
defense.
The signing of the documents
took place few kilometres away
from the settlement, the men from
the Keren Kayemeth together with
representatives from Ein-Geb
went to meet the Arabs half way
in the hills. They went in an ar
INQUIRED car with rifles at their
sides, but the negotiations went
off peacefully. When they return
ed Ein-Geb had at last established
it's exact holdings and boundaries.
And we all drank wine and par
took of hot lunch in celebration.
The forty Ein-Geb settlers are
natives of Germany and the Bal
tic countries, Latvia and Esthonia.

are drawn wonderingly to that
solitary spot, which is marked on

to say at this distance even wheth-
