TODAY'S SPORT PARADE
BY HENRY McLEM0RE (Reg. U. s. Pat. Off.)

United Pess Staff Correspondent
 Miami. Fla, March l7.-(UP)- The decision to switch Hank Dan- ming from behind the plate to left field Is being interpreted in the more suspicious grapefruit league circles as daring move on the part of the New York Giants to bolster the clubs ailing finances.
 It Is pretty generally known the Giants bookkeepers have been see- ing more red than Q bull in Madrid these past few years, and that the club actually had to put the bite on financier for enough of the ready stuff to pay for this years spring training campaign.
 Now, or SO the suspicious critics argue, what better way to bring a flood of money into the Polo Grounds this coming season than to have Danning in left field.
 In the first place, any fan with spark of curiosity in his makeup will feel compelled to go to the Polo Grounds to study at first hand the distintegration of Danning. It will be fascinating (even if a bit morbid) to see how long 1t will take a man to 60 from the best catcher in the National League to the worst outfielder.
 Already, wagers are being made on the length of the time Danning will require to accomplish this sad transformation. know @ fellow who has bet his wife & new night shade for the canary cage that Danning will have struck rock bot tom in outfielding performance by 3:45 p. m. (E. D. s. T) on May IT, Another chap of my acquaintance has promised to slide down the ban- mister of the Empire State Building Gall 120 floors) if Danning hasn't surpassed the eccentric outfielding behavior of Babe Herman by noon of July 4th.
 Rumors And Such
 have been unable to track down ruInor that the Giants plan to raise the scale of prices for the three thousands seats nearest to Danning's left field post. It is being hinted around that the prices for these seats, many of which will af- ford 6 commanding view of the former catcher in left field labor will be boosted to @. I have also heard that 2,000 of them have al- ready been reserved by the upper Bronx sadistic society, of which a man named Outflow Skittery is president.
 Danning has evolved a brand new technique for outfield play. and If he sticks to 1t will be far and away the most sensational sight in the Ntaional League. According to Dan- ming, and this Is no joke. he plans to play left field just as he caught behind the plate. He will use a crouch while waiting for fly, and once having caught one, will resume the familiar squat-tag stance of the catcher. and throw the ball just as he used to throw down to second l to nall a base stealer.
 He explains that he attempted to learn the traditional movements oi an outfielder. but that catching has given him set of muscles whici, refuse to yield to such extraordin- ary behavior, and that he simply has to play the outfield as he caught. It will be quite a spectacle that of an outfielder squatting down and needing only to give Q few fly signals to pass for . drunken

 The best reports on DRnning's outfielding skill indicate that he may have to ask Judge Landis for permission to wear his mask and chest protector while patrolling left field. After all. baseball is e game and 8 man shouldn't have to place his health in jeopardy to play 1t.

To q Baltimore boy, Mearle Du

son playing washington and Lee at
Baltimore Stadium. Du Vail, prod
uct of Southern High and Mount

additional honor of being the only
three-letter man on the Terrapin
campus.
He will be in the left halfback

This will be his last football game,

Wharton also will be carrying
load playing before his home town
folk. AS center he likely will play
most of the go minutes. George
Jarmoska, with whom he shared the
job, Is out with an injured knee,
leaving Bill Taylor, a sophomore, as
the only reserve.
Comparisons OF records OF tomor-
rows opponents would give Wash
ington and Lee a slight adge, al
though Maryland has shown more
potent offense, especially in the air.
It's main trouble probably will not
be to score but to keep the Gen.
erals from counting oftener. Last
years game at College Park ended
in II deadlock, leaving Maryland
with an edge in the series with
eight victories against five defeats
and two ties.
Should Maryland win tomorrow
it would have its best record since
1937-three victories and one tie in
nine games.
