landover Ball Team
Proving Surprise
In County Loop
Win From Cottose City
Would Put Young Club
In Threatening Spot

A dark horse with more speed
than the opposition expected has
popped UP to plague the Prince
Georges County League leaders in
the young and hard-hitting Land
over nine. Sunday Manager Ever
EFT Freeman's charges meet Cottage
City on the Capital Airport dia-
mond and II they get over this one
they'll have q running start toward
the first-half nag.
Oxon Hill, 1899 pennant winner,
still Is very much in the race and
is the team to reckon with again
this season, but Landover appar-
entity has . club that cares little
for regulations or past records. The
Hillmen meet Sunnybrook this week
and should win to maintain their
position near the top.
Boasts Two Fast Pitchers.
Mainsprings in Landovers drive
are doc" Payne, . southpaw, and
Kermit Fonts, two Of the fastest
pitchers ever seen In the county CTR
cult. They survived their initial
tests without working up sweat,
and If 1t comes down to q case Of
Oxon Hill VS.. Landover for the title
these boys may decide it. The time
ly and heavy stickwork Of Tom
Moran, an infielder. and Outfelder
Ed Shegcgue also has been an i'm
portant factor In Landover's early
sprint.
Oxon Hill probably will send Wal
ter Club back to the mound this
week and q performance anywhere
near last weeks brilliant effort will
be enough to win. He blanked Hy-
attsville Police Boys Club with q
no-hit, no-run exhibition-the first
in this area this season. Jack Shu-
grue's batting also was conspicuous.
Clements Stars ON Slab.
Maryland Aces harbor another ex-
cellent pitching prospect in Johnny
Clements, who has allowed only
three hits in two games. turning
back both Cottage City and Sunny
brook. Pitching, as . matter OF
fact, appears to be the leagues
strong suit this season, for another
outstanding chucker is Johnny Bub-
bles Of Capitol Heights. Bubbles
famed 10 Sunnybrook batters in his
first start and came back last week
to retire IA Democrats by the same
route, only to lose because Of errors.
The Democrats, incidentally, are
far behind last years pace, when
they finished second to Oxon Hill.
Manager Leech Travers has hopes
the club will hit its stride Sunday,
however, and keep winning. Mutt
Moreland, Sunnybrook pilot, is In
the same boat and Just as hopeful.

Acid Test for Reds
Seen in Midseoson

The team won't hit much. The
lnfeld still is a bit unsound around
second base, and the outf1eld evokes
no memories of Speaker. Hooper and
Lewis. With its pitching and its
hustle, however, and the superla-
tive management of Deacon Nc
Kechnie, Cincinnati is the one to
beat.
I believe the Reds will face the
test of the acid In deep summer
time, when double-headers bloom in
every direction. Up till now Nc
Kechnie has been getting away with
Walters, Thompson and Derringer
and Walters, Thompson and Derrin-
ger. One or two postponements q
week and the big three is set up for
action again. But when the games
come eight q week the deacon will
need two or three more winners, and
the question is. has he got EN-?
; He thinks he has, In Turner,
Shoffner, Moore and Wander Nicer
Or somebody. Some of his rivals do
not agree. They believe that one
club or another will pull alongside
the Reds in midsummer and look
them in the eye, and then the Reds
will have to be good team from
top to bottom to win.
I can only say that Deacon Nc
Kechnie faces this prospect with
frank and unfeigned ambiguity.

Play for Series Edge.
Maryland and Hopkins not only
will be battling for the collegiate
title in their lacrosse game, but will
be struggling for the edge in their
long series that began in 1920. Each
has won nine games in the regular
campaigns with Hopkins having reg
istered So goals to Maryland's "a.
II there is any edge it rests with
Hopkins because Of its larger SQUAD
and greater reserve strength and
that in John Tolson 1t has q defense
player who generally is rated the
best in the game.
Their records are almost indenti-
cal, although the Terps have played
more contests. Both have clean
states IN collegiate circles, both lost
to Mount Washington's kingpin club
team and both have defeated Army
and Princeton by relatively the same
scores.
Record Crowd Is Expected.
They are the only two unbeaten
collegiate teams in the country. so

at the start. This move carried De

Later reactions, caused by easiness

Buying interest was lighter and
there were more selling orders in the

small quantities. There also were
