Bows to Navy in Final, ~

The man wearing that big, broad
smile today is rotund Ed Morris,
coach of George Washingtons base
ball team who saw his forces bow to
Navy by 81 margin yesterday at
Annapolis Morris isn't grinning be-
cause the Colonials lost the seasons
finale, thereby bringing their record
to eight victories against six defeats,
but because he'll have almost the
entire crew back next season.
George CARRIER, third baseman. is
the lone graduation casualty and
Morris has an idea the Al outfit will
be 100 per cent stronger than this
years team. He didn't expect much
this season so eight victories are
gratifying-even if Maryland and
Georgetown weren't included among
the victims. The team was weak
behind the plate. not overburdened
with pitchers and decidedly anemic
at bat, but the situation should be
remedied next season.
Morris has couple of promising
catchers coming up, a pitcher who
should be able to throw in the best
company, and he feels that with a
years experience under their belts
the rest of the team may improve
in hitting.
Navy used four pitchers yesterday,
and all we're tough for the Colonials,
who accumulated only five scattered
hits. Roy McNeil's single and Ralph
Zelaska's S double, with a Navy wild
throw sandwiched in between, ac-
counted for the losers lone run in

MARYLAND Awards Mark Loss
Of Many Stars; Lawrence,
Kehoe Get High Honors
Sixteen freshmen

8 tennis players, Sixteen freshmen
received numerals.
George Lawrence, football and
lacrosse player, and Jim Kehoe,
probably the greatest trackman in
Maryland's history, received the
principal awards. Lawrence, a ma
tive of Hanover, Pa, received the
Sylvester watch. presented by the
class of 1908 to the man who typifies
the best in college athletics. Kehoe,
hailing from Bel Air, Md, won the
Charles L. Linhardt ring as the out
standing Maryland athlete.
Lawrence a Great Guard.
Lawrence, rated one of the best
guards produced at College Park,
was all-State last autumn. He also
was a letterman on the Terps' last
two championship lacrosse teams.
Kehoe is one of the country's finest
middle distance runners and South
ern Conference half-mile champion.
Earl Springer, Hagertsown lad who
joined the Baltimore Orioles last
Tuesday, won the Bozie Berger
award as the outstanding senior in
baseball. Leo Mueller and Oscar
Nevares, both of Baltimore, were
presented with Edward Powell
awards in recognition of their serv-
ices to the lacrosse 10. Although
customarily only one player is so
honored both were so deserving and
so nearly on par it was decided to
double up.
Powell was the father of the stick
game at Maryland, introducing the
sport on the campus in 1870
Great Athletes Are Lost.
Maryland's losses are staggering
when the caliber of departing
athletes is considered. In track, for
example, while only six are gradual
ing three happen to be Kehoe, Mason
Chronister and Alan Miller-top-
notch distance men.
Only three are lost in tennis. but
here again they are the top-ranking
men, Allie Ritzenberg, Nate Askin
and Jay Phillips.
In lacrosse Bill Cole, Bill Bond,
Jim He'll, Milton MULTI, Oscar
Nevares and Leo Mueller-all regu-
lar, and Jack Grier and Lawrence,

Baseball's biggest loss, of course,
was Springer. Going with him are

ginning to talk excitedly. Nedya
had come down the companionway,
and she looked from Phil to Babs
in dark, annoyed way.
Phil said to Babs, IF he annoys
you again, you'd better report it
to the captain"
Thanks" said Babs. But don't
think that will be necessary with

She smiled at him, gave Neyd1

her room. Nedya went to her own
door. She looked back over her

and walked to his own stateroom at
the far end of the passage.
He removed his coat and vea.
and shoes and stretched out on
the bunk with a cigarette. He lay
listening to the steady trobbing
of the Ventura's engines and to
the kissing surge of the sea. He
did not intend to sleep, but he
must have dozed off. For suddenly
he started up, every nerve tin
Cling.
He could see nothing in the dark
ness OF the room, and he heard
no sound. But he knew some one
was IN the room. He tensed him
self to leap up. But then a sharp
whisper reached him.
"It's me, pal-Eddie Shane"
"Eddie!" Phil sat up in his bunk.
What do you want?"
Nobody saw me come in, Mr..
Lawrence. I came in like a shadow
had to tell you The en-
velopes gone-disappeared!"
Phil got up and grabbed at Eddies
shadowy figure. Gone Eddie?"
Il had it hidden in my room,
in box of cigars" said Eddie.
1T was there before dinner. When
I came back from the lounge Just
now it was gone. Somebody had
searched my stateroom."
Eddie, you wouldn't lie to me?"
mo, pal-honest! the little crook
said, whimpering. You got me
out of trouble a couple times. I
wouldn't cross you I'm no FOOL
You have no idea who was in
your room?"
mo not an idea. Maybe it
was that detective you told me
about"
There is 90 detective" Phil said.

be afraid Of" He belived the man.
"All right, Eddie. You couldn't
help it."
What was in that envelope, Mr..
Lawrence? 1t looked sort Of legal
with its seal and all, so was afraid
to open it. Was it full OF money!"
NO" said Phil. q"
He got no farther. Outside In

she have, Babs?"
She looked up at him sharply.
"How should I know?' she de-
manded. Then: But if you want

Meets Nedya on Deck.
Phil didn't get to talk to Nedya
until long after dinner, He met
her on deck then, standing at the
railing and looking out across the
murky sea- She was bareheaded,
but the collar of her fur coat was
turned up about her neck. Phil came
up behind her, and said softly.
"Nedya." And she turned and
slipped into his arms
"Oh, Philip" she whispered i've
been worried. Are you all right?'

Its nothing" he said. II rather
let you down, didn't II"
"You couldn't help it," she said.

he felt her shudder. 1T was that
Bert Cavanaugh! He's behind this!'
Tell me-, Nedya. Did he set the
police on you and Count Raedton?"
YES! You were so right about
him, Philip. He isn't to be trusted.
We have just learned that it was

the beginning. He bribed Boris
Gregori to steal it. Gregori was

Once he had the envelope, he tried

She kissed him, then said with
her lips against his cheek, "You are
going to help me out of this, arn't

He frightened his arms about her.
"Yes, Nedya. You know that is

mean to me-"

He did not answer, for Count
Raedton's sharp voice came out
Of the darkness. Eyes, Mr.. Law

Philip turned to face the man. He
was a tall, formidable figure in the
gloom. The glow of a ships lamp
struck his face, and the scar on
the left cheek made him look rather
sinister. His mouth was thin cash,
his eyes black and bright and un-
friendly.
He said, "You keep promising to
give Nedya the envelope, Lawrence,
but you don't keep your promises. !"
Nedya said, "Sergei!' in a strained
voice.
The count ignored her. He said.
my patience is at an end. I want
that envelope Lawrence" ~
Phil felt something tightening up
himself; his face grew hard. Sud-
denly he neither liked nor trusted
Count Sergei Raedton.
He said, "The envelope is in a
safe place. It wouldn't be safe In
your hands with Bert Cavanaugh

endless world of water. Low, dirty

was oppressively still. Phil and
Babs walked toward the bow.
