Eagles 3-to-2Defeat
OF Orioles Thrills
Record Crowd
Win Gives Locals Edge
On Champs, Assures at
Least Tie for Second
By BURTON HAWKINS.

A refreshing rivalry today had
been sandwiched into the local
sports pattern, the smoldering feud
involving the Washington Eagles
and Baltimore Orioles of the Eastern
Amateur Hockey League having
burst into a significant blaze.
Patience, coupled with the sizzling
spectacles these clubs have pro-
duced, finally has been rewarded in
the form of a robust rivalry which
has served to install ice hockey here
on a more lofty plane. Those 4,400
fans who wedged their way into
Riverside Stadium last night to
view the Eagles wallop the Orioles,
80. in an exciting struggle, gave
great encouragement to Sponsor
S. G. Leoffler.
Bring 400 Fans Along.
The champions, the Orioles, chief
ly are responsible for intensifying
interest in the game here. A color
full collection of 400 Baltimore fans
followed their club here and some
200 of them reserved seats for the
opening match of the intercity play
of scheduled for Riverside Tuesday
night. The second and third games
will be played at Baltimore on
Wednesday and Sunday nights, re-
spectively.
Washington. which has won seven.
lost five and tied one in games with
the Orioles this season, is assured
at least a tie for second place by
virtue of last nights triumph and
requires only one victory in its re-
naming three league games to
esnatch the runner-up berth.
The three-game series between
the Eagles and Orioles will not af-
feet league standings and the series
will be decided on total goals scored
rather than games won or lost.
Game Hot But Clean.
The largest crowd of the season
was satiated with a fast, bruising,
but remarkably clean game, in
which the Orioles twice came from
behind to knot the score before
Center Lee Ramsay poked a pass
from Paul Courteau past Goalie
Omer Kelley for what proved the
winning goal early in the final

whacked him across the shin bone
hard enough to bust the leg. Bobby
probably will be out of most Of
Dukes spring matches. which is no
consolation to him, for the tow-head

meet Cornell when the Ithacans
swing this way on their usual
Southern links trip.
But the Southern trip of the
Hoyas, eagerly awaited by the golf
lads, again has blown up in their
faces. Billy Shea, one of the
Georgetown mainstays, announced
with a doleful pan today that the
Hoyas won't have Southern junket
this year. They took short trip
through the South last year and did
all right.
John Burke, the redhead from
Providence, r. l., who won the in
tercollegiate championship in 1888,
will captain the Hoyas this year.
Others on the team will be Shea,
playing his last year; Buddy Shar-
key, former sehoolboy star and
former Indian Spring titleholder;
Ray Higgins, Frank Calvin and Dick
Heartey. The last three hail from
New York and New England, and
can play considerable golf.
Georgetown, with a well-balanced
outfit, can go long way in college
golf this year. They may even do
better than their perennial runner

Hope for Civilian Win
Borne by Hi Ho in
Open Jumpers
Red Fox Seems Assured
Of Championship in
Hunter Division
BY ROBERT HENRY.

Three new champions will be
crowned tonight after the last of a
series of four winter indoor horse
shows at Fort Myer, set to start at
7:45, with six classes entered.
Two of last years champions are
not competing this winter. Rocksie,
winner of the hunter title. has been
absent due to the illness of his
owner, Margaret Cotter, while the
student team jumping winner, Nc
Donogh School, also is missing.
Smacko, which won the jumper
championship, is competing, but not
for the title. it being some ones idea
that a civilian-owned horse would
have a chance to win the crown If
Smacko and several other crack Fort
Myer jumpers were thus restricted.
However, in the open jumpers
class it appears an Army horse still
will win the tricolor. Skippy Stieg
has the best chance right now to
win for the civilians as her mount,
Hi Ho, has six points for the title
one less than the leader, Enterprise,
owned by 1t. David Wagstaff. If
Hi Ho is going in best form and
doesn't make one of those minor
mistakes that often ruin his good
rounds, he will give Enterprise
trouble.
Hi HO, ENTERPRISE Gain.
Both Hi Ho and Enterprise picked
up three points in last months
show, each finishing second in one
class. Hi Ho placed second to Capt.
Kenneth Hoge's Broomfield in the
open jumpers, after a jump-off, and
Enterprise earned three points by
getting the red ribbon behind 1t.
o. K. Kane's Ard Patrick in the
take your choice class. Either
Broomfield or Ard Patrick could
win the title, each having four
points, but must show more consis-
tency than displayed.
In the hunter division, Mrs. D. N.
Lees Red Fox seems assured of the
championship. According to past
performances, he should win the
open hunters and also pick up any
needed points in the other two
hunter classes, working and hacks.
His closest rival, Scamp, owned by
Gen. Maxwell Murray, hardly flg-
ures to come close to such horse
as the Middleburg representative
and Recall, which earlier in the
season was accorded a chance to
win the title, somehow can't win
when it's important.
At least, in last months show,
which he started with a slight lead,
Recall failed to place in two events,
even though he apparently had
shown well in both. The horse, owned
by Charley Carrico, might not show.
Maryland Team Ahead.
University of Maryland figures to
be hard to catch for the Arlington
Hall Trophy, which Will go to the
winning student jumping team. So
far, in two shows, this team has
made total of faults. The next
closest team, Arlington Hall No. l,
has IA, while Landon is third, with
Is. Individual honors so far are
held by Applejack and his rider,
Sue Rinehart. who have made no
faults in two trips around the ring.
In last months show Maryland
had but one fault to take honors
from a new Western High School
team. which surprised by scoring
but three faults. However, Western
was handicapped for missing the
first phase of this competition and
it is practically impossible for it to
win.

Here was the winner of three pen

Louis, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati,
world record-who still could recall
the hoarse huzzas of the tickle
multitudes-who could recall pink
slips after pennant years-who
could recall cheers turned into jeers
but one who still was rather
gentle, easy-going, mild-mannered
philosopher who, in his job, was
fortunate in knowing his baseball
stuff and the amazing f1ip-f1ops of
what Bert Taylor once labeled the
bo-called human race" Here was
and is quite a fellow, taken by,
large and all the other ways.
According to some veteran philos-
opher, Hope springs eternal in the
baseball breast, only to wither and
die out around the 10th of June
This is merely a prelude toward
announcing that no such state of
affairs exists in the baseball breast
of Bill McKechnie, mandarin of
Cincinnati's Reds.
Reds Are Not Aiming
At Second Place
I sat on the Red bench with
Mandarin Bill, winner of the three
pennants in three different cities,
and asked him to announce how
many games he expected to finish
back of the st. Louis Cardinals. The
Red mandarin, wind-tanned, SUM-
baked, a trifle seamy around the
frontispiece, smiled gently. There's
seamy side to this game, same as
the ball they play it with.
That's one break I get, anyway"
he said. I'm off the hot spot.
Blades now is where l was a year
ago. So if we should win again"
so you expect to win again?" I
asked.
Il didn't quite say that" he re-
piled. But don't think we are
aiming at any second place.
Il know this is March" Bill told
me, land I know October is a long
time ahead A very long time in
baseball. But let's look at the
pleasan. side of our situation.
Lombard Is Expected
To Be at His Peck
First, in place of curling up and
losing his spirit after that tough
break in the last world series game,
I believe Lombardi will be better
than ever. 1 know he's hustling
harder, that he's keener than he
ever was to make good. He isn't the
quitting, the curling-up type. Just
watch him.
MY infeld will be about the
same; I know I'm shy on replace
ments. But it isn't the worst m
field in baseball Not for my money.
Il think my outfleld will be bet
ter than it was. Craft will be in
much better physical shape. Young
Mccormick looks like a real hitter
and a good ball player. Well have
q good outfeld. We won't be any
weaker than we we're back of the
bat. around the infield or the out
field"
Bill indulged himself in a moment
of chin scratching and then con-
tinued:
Now we come to the big spot"

Shot in Back of Head.
The two men we're killed as they
sat on a bench near Twenty-s sixth

in the back of the head and the
manner of the slavings indicated
they may have been done by the

The ballistics tests we're to be made

The dead men were Theodore E.

on a bench outside Banks home

Both were shot in the back of the
