Aero Chatter

The Model club made it's second
attempt to hold a contest yesterday
morning, but high winds foiled its
plans. Quite a few of the towns
model builders and fans turned out
for the event, and some really neat
little ships made their appearance.
Some of the boys tried to fly their
models, but the results were rather
heartbreaking, meaning that we wit
messed several crack-ups. Several
flights we're made, but then we de-
cided to give in to the wind. Second
prize of a dollars worth of merchan-
disc at Pickard's was awarded to Bob
by Jones, the third prize of a model
kit was awarded to Billy Wagner.
whose model made the second longest
fight. Tickets for airplane rides were
given away by the Pennington Fly
ing Service to all the boys who had
models entered in the meet. Plans
were made for holding the meet next
Saturday night, and a meeting of
the club was called for Thursday
night to decide what is to be done,
the place Of the meeting to BE- an.
nounced later. Because many Of the
boys found it hard to get out to the
airport, yesterdays contest was held
at Robert Strange Playground.
Judges were Gilbert Iickard, Jimmy
Pennington, and mysef.

Celebrities by the hundreds will be

Maybe they'll tell about the time
Uncle Billy coached st. Edwards
University in Austin in a game
against the University Of Texas. 1t
seems st. Edwards. not bound by
league rules, had several players
slightly on the professional side such
as Bill Killefer, the old big league
catcher.
Texas crowned three lnners on
the bases. The pitcher steamed one
across. Catcher Killefer made an at
tempted play at third base and threw
a big Irish potato into left field
Texas started streaming
in. AS they crossed the plate, Kill
efer slyly tagged them with the ball.
He had fished it out of his pocket.
Uncle Billy waved the Texas run
ners back to their bases when the
potato act was uncovered.
His greatest thrill? When Howard
Fitzgerald, a lusty hitting outfield-
er who later played with Philadel-
phia. stood up some 20 years ago
and belted a home run that beat Bay
lor and won Texas the southwest
conference title in the last game!

MARYLAND SEASON
OPENS ON MONDAY
12-Day Meeting Will Start
Thoroughbreds On Rich
Eastern Campaign

BOWIE, Nd, March So.-LP-
A1aryland's spring horse-racins sea
son gets underway here Monday
with the opening of a 12-day meet
ing that will start the thorough
breds off on thu rich, stake-studded
eastern campaign.
The Southern Maryland Agricul-
tural associations spacious plant
known as the Course in the Pines"
was the scene of much hustle
and hustle as last-minute prepare
lions were rushed to get every
thing ship-shape for opening day.
Monday just happens to be April
1-or All Fools day-and you can
(nobody's stopping you) bet your
bottom dollar that lots of followers
of the gee-gees will wager their
shirts on some hung pegged on
that capricious date. Bowie does
that to you.
A dismal, low.hanging fog, fol.
lowed by a pelting rain that soaked
the track, brought typical Bowie
weather" to the plant, but didn't
stop the activity on the grounds.
Holses, jockeys, handlers and
trainers streamed in from the win
ter tracks. Workmen swarmed all
over the place and officials checked
final details. About 900 horses al
read are quartered here.
Bowie will offer more than $780,
900 in purses during the 12-day
meeting and no purse will be less
than 5 $1,000 big increase over
last years $500 minimum.
The opening-day feature will be
the $4,000 Marlboro purse, a mile
and 7o-yard dash for three-year-
olds and up.
Other stakes to be run are the
IS, O00-Added Rowe Memorial handi-
cap, April 8; the $5,0oo-Added Bowie
handicap, April 6; the 50, 5O0-Added
Bowie Kindergarten Stakes, April
10, and the $5,00O-Added Southern
Maryland handicap, April 10.
The grounds present a nice ap-
pearance. All buildings have been
newly painted and the space left
vacant when five barns burned last
month has been levelled into a

Here or there: Speaking of spring,
warmer weather brings promise OF
mo-e early morning flying. I can re-
member the day I got up at 6 to
struggle sleepy-eyed to the airport to
log a few minutes time in the calm
OF the morning. But it's not so I'd,
in fact I like it better. But I wonder
about the other students. We
hear that plans are being made 20 or

there was someone who said that pi-
lots didn't lie-they only ~exaggerate.
But we know! We laughed when we

on a cereal box. But then there are
some people who think that they can
learn to fly from a book. :. 1t can't

against whom they opened the sea-
son here.
Thursday they will meet Wilson
high school here in their second
conference game of the season.
Friday they will journey to
Whiteville, where they will play
another return game.
To date the lads have won their
first five starts and indications are
they will have an excellent chance
for the state title this year, though
they will undoubtedly meet some
tough competition before the sea-
son is closed.
The game with Wilson here IS
expected to be a rather close at

"The war probably will be decided

for without it, Germany can not cen

oil from Rumania and Russia and
all the Russian oil is shipped across
the Black Sea. If a Black Sea block

W;zdcots Schedule Three Baseball Games For Week

The New Hanover High school Wildcats, statistics
show, are shining on the mound and at the plate, though
their play afield has been somewhat rife with errors this
season.
Altogether the boys present an unusually good team
for this time of the year, however,, and we still feel we are
out on a pretty safe limb when we continue to foresee a
championship for them.
In their last four games 1--WE exclude the Clinton game
as it was really only a practice game, played on a cold,
cold day with many substitutions) the Cats in 14 times
at bat have hit no less than At times for a percentage of
.3O6. In those same games they have held their opponents,
who approached the plate 1875 times, to 20 hits for a per-
centage of .160.
But afield the Cats have miscued no less than Is
times in the four games, which, to US, is far too many
times.
Figures for the four games are given below for a bat,
runs, hits, percentage and errors, and for three games in
rrns hatted in sacrifice hits and stolen bases:

Steinborn has Tor or less won
