Sherr stared at Kelly, her eyes

She turned her head away. "I
probably am" she replied briefly.
She dropped her hands to her slim
sides and pressed the palms against
her hips. Her slenderness became

Twenty Exhibition Comes
Enough, Ruth Feels

When you face a daily competl-

the main handicaps ahead is stale
ness.
The big drive usually comes in
August and early September But
in too many cases ball players and
ball clubs are worn down at that
time. They have been hammering
away at exhibition or champion
ship games since early March.
Il know" Babe Ruth told me,
"I could have had much better
record for the pennant season if l
hadn't been forced TO play in so
many exhibition games. In my
time I had to play in over 500 eX-
hibition contests, largely on the way
north. That means four full sea-
sons, where YOU were supposed to
give all you had. l know I always
did. I believe 20 games are all any
club should play before the big
show opens"
John McGraW told me the same
thing some time before he died.
twenty games are just about
enough" he said, before you open
any big league schedule. That still
means more than ITO ball games in

Gonzaga Is Slightly

In Georgetown Prep,
St. Johns Teums
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Play in the Catholic High School
Basket Ball League-this time a
real league and not just sports
writer's fancy opens Saturday
afternoon, when Georgetown Prep
moves out of its Garrett Park
stronghold to invade st. Johns.
In the past the winner of most
games among st. Johns, George
town Prep and Gonzaga has been
called the Catholic school champion,
but it has been an unofficial title
conferred by newspapers, and moth
ing really was organized. Now
however, they are going at it in a
regular manner, with league
schedule and a trophy-although
the trophy has yet to be put up. If
no one comes forward to give a
trophy the three schools plan to
purchase one themselves, to be
awarded permanently to the first to
capture three championships.
Here is the schedule:
January %, Prep at St. Johns
February /, Gonzaga at ST. Johns;
10, Gonzaga at Prep; 20, st. Johns
at Gonzaga; "a. st. Johns at Prep
| March l, Prep at Gonzaga.
Gonzaga Heavy Favorite.
Gonzaga's high-flying Eagles are
early favorites to capture the loop
championship, but it will be no
walkaway Both the Johnnies and
Little Hoyas can and will be tough
nuts to crack. but on the basis of
records to date the Eagles must be
given the edge. Led by Coach Irvine
Holbrook, they are a Well-balanced
high-scoring outfit of snappy ball
handlers. Frannie CounSelman and
Bob Mulvihlll are the only real ex-
perienced PLAYERS from last years
| team. but Bernie Nolan, Buddy
Rowzee and Joe OLone. up from
last years reserves and lightWeights
have added a lot of punch and
speed TO the team.
1t is no eXaggeration to say that
Gonza"7 has much better team
than was expected. and il might
even be added it is surprised to find
itself in the upper crust of District
schoolboy teams. 1t expected to
have fair team but hardly one as
good as it is.
On the other hand. the JohnnieS
have been something of a 'diSap-
pointment in their early games. but
it likely won't last. They have
given hints that they yet will go
places and Coach Gene Augusterfer
never has turned out a poor outfit.
They just seem TO be slow starters
Evening star., 1941-01-23

this season. Against La Sale of
Cumberland they bit a pace last
week that If continued will put
them at or near the top later this
year.
Little HOyas Promising.
Consistently good players are the
gaunt Dick Hathaway and Buddy
SpeiSS, either or both of whom could
win a berth or any team around
here. Occasional flashes of bril-
lance also have been shown by
Chuck Dudley, Jack Cooke, Tom
Chisari and Pat Mccarthy. When
they get bit more experience they
will be tough to handle.
Georgetown Prep almost is in the
same class, although the improve
ment has been gradual since the be-
ginning of this season. 1t is getting
better all the time and has yet to
play up to its full possibilities. The
Little Hoyas have the man power
and the coaching from Augustine
Coupe TO make them a factor for
the first time in several years in
District competition and they likely
will make the most of it.
They are a lean and hungry
looking bunch, averaging about
feet on the starting team. Shortest
player is the 5 foot 10 Ben Decker,
who joins Bob Barrett as the only
leftover from last years first team.
Barrett is the leading scorer. Other
usual starters are Bud Cremen.
Mike DAILY and Ray Schneider, with
plenty of good reserve strength in
John Shovel, Gene Eckrich, John
Nicolaides and Tom Roche.
With these three teams in the
league the outlook is bright for a
Snappy race right down through
