Georgetown PIoys A. U.
Tomorrow and Tackles
Terropins Wednesday

George Washington's baseball
game with Maryland at College
Park this afternoon was to inaup-
urate three successive days of intra-
city feuding among local colleges
and opens a stretch of three games
for the Terps with District rivals.
Tomorrow, Georgetown goes to
American University to return the
visit the Eagles paid to the Hilltop
last month when the Hoyas won by
200. From then on things will wax
serious for the Hilltoppers and COL
lege Parkers with both GEORGETOWN
Maryland games scheduled within
four days. The first is slated for
College Park Wednesday and the
second on the Hilltop Saturday.
Maryland hoped to duplicate
Georgetown's trick by beating G. w.
today, but it was saving its ace
pitcher, Lefty Springer, for the
Hoyas. Leon Vannais, Bethesda
Chevy Chase High product, was to
go for the Terps against the Co.
lonials, with the downtown school
countering with big Frank McGin-
mis-. At that McGinnis may surprise
Maryland as he not only shut out
Vermont last month. but pitched
near-perfect ball in his six-inning
relief stunt against Georgetown.
The George Washington Mary
land freshman mines will meet at
College Park tomorrow, while the
tennis teams Of Georgetown and g.
w. are scheduled for a return match
tomorrow on the latter's home"
courts at Columbia Country Club.
The Hilltop netmen won the first
match. 5-4.

Horse Thot Finished Second
In '88 Still Unknown.

And running through the history
Of the Preakness is a ghost colt
the colt nobody knows. He didn't
win, but he finished second to Re
fund in 1888 and there is no record
of his name. He was owned by G..
H. Kernaghan and ridden by Jockey
Blayiock, but all else that anybody
e knows about him is that he was a
bay colt by Ten Broeck-Bertha B.
Only four starters went to the
post that day, just So years ago
for that was May IL, too. Refund,
Glendale, Charley Dreux and the
ghost colt. It was raining and the
crowd was small-and somewhere,
in the mist that hung over the track,
the name of the colt that chased
Refund to the wire was lost.
Last year the Preakness saw the
fall of JohnstoWn-and the rise of
Challedon. A week prior, at Louis
vile, Johnstown had romped off
with the Derby. Moving east to
Baltimore he was a prohibitive ia
vorite.
Rain fell the night before the race
and through the morning and the
track was muddy when the bugle
blew. Nobody knew whether or not
Johnstown could run in the mud
not even Jim Fitzsimmons, for Fitz

Red Sox and Tribe HeIp
Champions Cause by
Nicking Each Other
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Break up the Yankees! There was
time when that chant was as
familiar as Take Me Out to the Ball
Game" and the folks wondered how
many players the world champions
could give up without being weak
ened.
A popular pastime was speculating
as to whether Bill Dickey or Joe
Di Maggie or someone else was the
key performer in the New York
clubs cast.
Until someone offers a more pro-
found thought on the subject, young
Giuseppe will have to be regarded
in absentia-as the player most vital
to the Yankee cause.
They were beaten again yesterday
by the Detroit Tigers, Ga, in the
kind of game they seldom, If ever,
would have lost last year.
Three times New York loaded the
bases and only on one of these oc-
casions did they score-an ineffec-
tual run in the ninth. Thirteen run
nerS were left on the bases. In the
last nine games, of which the Yanks
have lost six, they have left So men
on the bases.
Crosetti at Last Hits.
Imagine that from the slugging
Yanks-the Bronx Bombers-who
used to break up games with their
big innings. Only twice this year
have they Tailed more than three
runs in any one inning. They
haven't a single batter anywhere
near the 300 mark and Frankie
Crosetti, for instance, got his first
hit yesterday in II times at bat.
The plight of the champions might
be worse if there was any one strong
team in the American League capable
OF taking full advantage of their
misfortune. But the Boston Red
Sox and Cleveland Indians are
battling each other to a standoff.
Bob Feller came up with one of
his better pitching shows yesterday
to beat the Sox, 6-1. He allowed
seven hits. struck out eight and
yielded only one base on balls. Ken
Keltner gave noble aid, including
3-run homer, a single and q
double.
This boosted the Tribe back into
the league lead.
The Chicago White Sox, a first
division club last year and a tail
ender so far, this term just MANAGED
to edge out the PHILADELPHIA
Athletics, 6-5.
Set Record in ManpOwer.
The Brooklyn Dodgers took up
where they left of before the rains
came by trimming the st. Louis
Cardinals, 9-6, in a wild game in
which 80 players, rd-breaking
total, took part. The Dodgers were
outhit. but not outnumbered, using
% players. and succeeded in pro-
ducing two 4-run rallies that carried
the day. ....t
Two errors, one by First Baseman
Norman Young and the other by
Catcher Harry Danning of the
Giants, helped the Cincinnati Reds
to a 80 decision over New York
and Bucky Walters to his fourth
victory without defeat.
The Phillies put down a 4-run
inning uprising by the Chicago
Cubs to win, rs, and the Boston
Bees finally scored another triumph

The 60-year-old gridiron coach,
who believes that art and athletics
are closely related, opened the fifth
and largest Of his one-man shows
at the Palmer House. The collection
includes q oil paintings, many of
them of recent creation.
The felicitous comments Of critics
and lay visitors evoked a succession
of grins characteristic Of the sturdy
lover and painter of mature that
hasn't been monkeyed with"
Zuppke sought his inspiration in
the prairie country of Central
Illinois, the Southwest, the Pacific
Coast and Alaska. Consequently,
his cavases are vivid, elemental,
sometimes brutally realistic.
Zuppke, himself, has an answer
for those who good-naturedly chide
him for his departures from actual
ism. In reply to a woman critic
who asked him, But have you ever
seen such a sky?" he chuckled, If
you ever stepped on q rattler, you'd
see that sky, all right"
Manifestly, Zuppke has profited
by his own precept-"the painter
must guard against becoming over
refined and drab. ."."I have noticed" !"
he supplemented. "that painters, and
all artists for that matter, tighten
up in q pinch. When they want to
produce q masterpiece they lose their
freedom and sense of abandon"

exceptional price, and some of his
