Charley Shows Skill
In Relief Role in
Loss TO Syracuse
Drives From Baltimore
To PIuy; Art Already
Sets Pace for Stuff
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

You need good pitching to win
most ball games and Maryland
didn't have it yesterday against
Syracuse, so it lost, 81, for its sixth
setback in eight games.
But If Terp supporters gasped in
despair as Lefty Bill Fulton tossed
away the game in round one when
three scratch hits, a couple of passes
and solid smash gave the Orange
four runs, their next breath must
have been one of hope as Charley
woodward came in and proceeded
to quell the uprising.
Charley, with the light red under
shirt. Is Artie Woodwards s older and
lighter brother. Right now the pair
Of 'em seem to be Maryland's only
hope Of salvation, although you
sometimes wonder if the team could
win with a mound corps of Johnson,
Mathewson, Grove and Feller.
Hunt Fails to Hit Stride.
Max Hunt got star billing when
the season opened and with his ex-
perience, poise and iron arm he
seemed we'll qualified to be bell
wether of the staff. But Max has
done a dismal half-gainer in the
role and while he has been wrestling
around with himself, trying to re-
gain that lost touch. the Woodward
boys have marched in and taken
over the spotlight.
Hunt, who worked the last three
innings of yesterdays game for a
workout, has pitched in six games,
playing both starting and relief
roles, and has been nicked as freely
as a whitfield stick. Ohio State
clubbed him for II bingles, Dart
mouth got eight, Connecticut five,
Michigan nine and yesterday Syra-
cuse raped out three In all he has
pitched up 81 hits, walked nine and
famed 10 in q innings-and you
can't win with that sort of work.
Yesterday marked Charley Wood
wards 1941 debut on the mound, al
though he was 1910 letter man,
but it's a cinch he'll be employed
more frequently after that stellar
performance. A law student in
Baltimore. he has to commute to
College Park daily for his training
chores. Artie, a pre-medical stu
dent, pitched against Harvard, Ver-
mont and Richmond and lost two.
He was pretty bad in the Crimson
game (six hits in two innings, but
held Vermont to three in eight
frames and last Saturday lost a
heartbreaker to Richmond after
throtting the Spiders with two
safeties.
Brothers Are Learning.
Coach Burt Shipley says both boys
have bright collegiate futures, which
means that along about the time they
learn how to properly stand on the
rubber dust off a batter and waste
one, they'll have diploma thrust
into their hands. Shipley also
knows he has no worries about them.
They'll do their darndest or papa
will turn EN- over his knee.
Papa is Judge Charles w. Wood
ward. presiding judge of Montgom-
cry County Circuit Court. He sits
on the legal bench most all day
and in the grandstand in the late
afternoon. The judge is an ardent
fan and when Charley couldn't get
from Baltimome to College Park for
practice he dug down in his pants
for a jalopy.
The war between the States isn't
over, at least not in Syracuse. Called
out at home on a close play in
yesterdays game, redheaded Charley
McPhail jumped to his feet, wagged

Lew Carr, coach of baseball at
Syracuse 80 years, expects he'll be
placed on full-time basis almost
any year now.

was supposed to be for one year"
he said, "but they keep asking me
