Also it was the last well-pitched
game the Mats were given.
Hudson, in his debut against Bos-
ton, did well for a few innings and
then committed couple of tactical
mistakes which cost him a TO de-
feat. Chase went sour from the start
in his first try against the Yankees.
Haynes looked great for a few in
nings against Boston but then blew
up. Krakauskas yesterday had speed
to burn but, after four innings. it
was Joe who burned. He burned
himself out.
In the last three games, two of
which the Mats won, Harris has
been forced to use nine pitchers.
This hurts. Bucky hasn't got staff
able to keep at this pace, not with
the Yankees coming into Griffith
Stadium tomorrow for a three-game
series and the Indians and Tigers
following.
Harris originally had intended to
shoot Hollingsworth back at the
Yanks but he decided to give the
veteran southpaw a fairer chance to
make good and pitch him today.
This means that Chase, Leonard and
Krakauskas, in that order, will op-
pose the Bronx Bombers tomorrow,
Sunday and Monday.
Getting back to a more pleasant
subject, here was the picture at S
o'clock yesterday. George Caster of
the AS had held the Griffs to seven
widely scattered hits and an un-
earned run, going into the ninth.
The AS, meanwhile, had slammed
Krakauskas, Gilberto Torres and
Carrasquel for 13 and the score was
6-1.

crowd began to do the same thing.

Play Off Tie for
Golf Trophy

At Chevy Chase today two of the
top feminine golfers around town
were playing off tie for the Keefer
Cup, another testimonial to the
close handicapping of the Women's
District Golf Association.
Mrs. Ellen Kincaid Harris of
Beaver Dam, who played yesterday
her third round of golf in five
months, and Mrs. L. G. Pray, stall
Wart Manor matron, tied for the
cup yesterday and played off the tie
today. Both are champions of their
respective clubs.
But Mrs. Pray will not forget the
three puts she took on the 17th
green, when two puts would have
won for her. They finished with net
scores of 167, Mrs. Pray winding
up the tWo-day tourney with an 88,
while Mrs. Harris had 80 for the
final round. Mrs Pray plays with a
6-stroke handicap, while Mrs. Har-
ris has a handicap of 10.
Betty P. Meckley, the first day
gross and net leader, with SO gross
and 81 net, slipped back to 80 yes
terday and saw her chance to win
the tourney go glimmering. But
Betty won the gross award by a
flock of strokes and finished in third

Strongest Lineup Yet
Mustered by Deekmon

Washington and Lee lacrossemen
will meet the strongest Washington
Athletic Association lineup yet
placed on the field tomorrow when
the teams face-off at Central
Stadium at o'clock.
Coach Joe Deckman has been ex-
perimenting with Washington line
up since the start of the campaign,
and while improvement has been
noted in the last two weeks he
thinks tomorrow will be- the best
balanced combination he has been
able to muster.
Deckman will have Milt Roberts
at in home for Leo Hantske, who
goes to first attack. Either Jim
Kane or Rod Brooks will replace
Roberts at center. Roberts, a husky
chap, should stand up under the
pounding around the net better
than Hantske.
Washington and Lee will use the
following men:
Goal Young: point. Alnutt: cover point,
Gourdon; second defense. Farrar: hrst de-
tense, Henderson; center, Boyd; second at
home; Rafo: out home. Read. Reserves

For the first time since Brother
Charley picked up a bat and poked
hit into the outfield for Maryland
the Keller dynasty in the realm OF
collegiate clouting is threatened by
slugger from a neighboring tribe
Charley passed on to more fruitful
sniping grounds, but left the situa-
ton in the capable hands of Brother
Hugh, who, while not as powerful
as Charley, has displayed the same
fence busting tendencies.
Hugh led the collegians by COM
Portable margin last year. There
wasn't a pitcher he couldn't or didn't
hit, and his rule over the pack
seemed assured for another year, at
least. But, 10 and behold, as the
boys head into May a pugnacious
slightly bow-legged catcher fairly
oozing with color heads the clouting
parade with a robust .546 average.
He's Jim Castiglia, burly Georgetown
receiver.
Keller on His Heels.
Keller isn't far behind with a 500
average and there's enough of the
campaign left to give him ample
opportunity to climb back on top,
but it looks strange to see a Jimmy
come-lately at the head of the pa
rade and pounding the pill as
though he meant to stay there.
They lead the first 10 sluggers bv
a wide margin and it is not improb-
able the two will settle the batting
championship between them, al

predictable as Mr.. Roosevelt's third

Inspired by Monooers

Neither may bag a pennant this
season but you won't stumble over
any keener spirit than Brooklyn
and Pittsburgh will show this sum-
mer. Leo Durocher and Frank
Frisch demand hustlers.
The Yankees depend more on
deadly efficiency in all departments,
rather than any competitive uplift.
The lone detail that could beat them
this summer would be a deficit in
the old urge, after four years of
mopping up. The vital spark can't
carry on forever.
But the Dodgers and Pirates will
have sparks flying all over the land
scape. They may not be two Of the
