The Washington Eagles, who
wedged their way into the hearts
of local sports followers by finish
ing a creditable second in the East
ern Amateur Hockey League their
fret season here, will stage a fare
we'll performance tonight at Riv-
erside Stadium.
Baltimore's title-owning Orioles
bitter rivals of the local outfit, will
provide the opposition in launching
three-game intercity champion
ship series, the last two games OF
which will be played at Baltimore
tomorrow and SUNDAY nights.
Four Likely to Depart.
While most of the Eagles will re-
turn to the same club nearly eight
months hence, at least four Wash
ington players have been approached
with tempting offers which may
mean they will be missing at roll call
next November.
Len Burrage, Hal Dewey, Paul
Courteau and Les Ramsay, who
comprise much of the Eagles punch
may be appearing here for the last
time.
The popular Burrsge, one of the
most polished dcfenscmen ever to
crease a Uranium in the Eastern
League, Is being swamped with Of
fers. Thus far he has received six
propositions, and the most recent of
them, a bid to coach the Glace Bay
Miners of Nova Scotia, has him de-
batting his future.

TAMPA, Fla, March 26.-Perhaps
they will be accused of poor sports
manship. but several Cincinnati
Reds have offered to bet that Lefty
Lee Grissom is not with the Yankees
month after the season begins.
Hes not McCarthy's type of ball
player - is their only explanation.
President Horace Stoneham of the
Giants is an aggressive champion Of
his manager, Bill Terry. Already this
spring the youthful magnate has
collided with two sports writer's who
questioned his choice of a pilot. One
of those he challenged, incidentally,
happened to be the same fellow who
took on the whole St. Louis Cardinal
gang single-handed here a few
springs ago.
Delaney Seems Doomed to Minors.
There is only the slightest hope
that Bill Delaney, the great young
Cardinal catcher who was forced out
of the game four years ago by lung
trouble, will be able to come back
in the big leagues. He looks fit
enough as he works out with the
club at St. Petersburg, but Manager
Ray Blades doesn't intend to sub
ject him to the rigors of Northern
climate again. However, Delaney
might prove star somewhere in the
South.
Expert observers, including rival
scouts who have watched young
Dominic Di Maggie bat. frankly are
skeptical of the youngsters ability
to hit waist-high, fast-ball pitching
His stance, they insist. makes the
Boston rookie peculiarly vulnerable
to this pitch. Asked how he was
able to whang the ball at a 1850
clip in the Coast league, they point
out that Coast league pitchers are
not good enough to keep the ball
where they want it, else they would
be in the big leagues. Dominic s
glasses are thick-lensed.
The manager of a rival club says
that the Cleveland Indians will be
extremely lucky If their tlashy new
shortstop, Louis Boudreau, is ready
to start the season. Boudreau
Clipped a bone in his ankle early
last week and Is on crutches.
That's the toughest kind Of q break
to get healed properly" said our
informant. "A player seldom re-
covers anything like his previous
speed and agility. Look at Pinkie
Higgins of Detroit. He's never been
his self since he hurt an ankle"
Paul Derringer, who is qualified to
express an opinion, says the Yankees
are not anything like the greatest
hitting team he ever faced. How
ever" he hastened to add, they
were the finest defensive ball club
