Trio Of School Stars
Booms Outlook for
6. W. Ball Team
Gets Test at Maryland
Today; Catholic U. Has
Task TO Muster Nine

Coach Al Harringer doesn't know
what kind of baseball team he
has at George Washington. He
suspects it will be fair, but better
estimate of the situation will be
made after the Colonials make their
first start at o'clock this afternoon
against Maryland at College Park.
Work and class schedules have
prevented his getting all players to-
gether at one time for real practice
session.. but he has good holdover
group from the spring campaign
plus some former high school boys
and other freshmen who should be
able to hold their own.
In the other half of today's opener
of the informal summer college
league. Georgetown, a preseason
favorite. travels to Annapolis to meet
Navy. Catholic u, fifth member of
the loop, doesn t make its start until
Saturday against the Hoyas
Harringer's holdovers are Billy Rob-
ertson, catcher pitcher; Ted Reich
vein, outflelder; John KoniezeWski,
first baseman, and Matt Zunic, out
fielder with the good batting stroke
Pitchers Go to Other Posts.
The Colonials have a trio of good
high school recruits who should be
a big help, Elmer Leukhardt, former
ly of Anacostia; Howard Keithley,
Tech, and Clarence Kuldell. West
ern. Luke and Kuldell were pitchers
and good ones, but at G. w. they will
work shortstop and second base
posts, respectively. Keithley. erst-
while first sacker, is slated for the
outfield, with possibly some first base
duty.
Today's pitching assignment prob
ably will be handled by Aaron Sill
verman, who was in school last
spring but missed baseball, with
Robertson to see later action.
Others who will play more or less
regularly, depending on whether
their work and study schedules
fit in with the diamond program,
are Carl Butkas, catcher; Jim
Nd duoCll, IillIu UdSe, NICK buDOuO-
vich. outfelder, and Bill Goodman,
another outfielder.
c. u. Is Short of Talent.
Things aren't in such good shape

Coach Shorty Hughes has plenty
of problems, not the least of which
is getting nine men, regardless of
ability, onto the ball field. Things

run, with Charley Wagner of the
Red Sox and Eden Auker of the
Browns registering shutouts.
Hal White limited the Mats to five
hits yesterday as Buck Newsom ab-
sorbed his 14th defeat, 6-4. Newson,
yielding eight hits, was nailed for
three triples that figured in f1ve of
Detroit's runs.
Harris Triple Damaging.
In the first inning, after Barney
McCoskey had doubled and Doc
Cramer had walked, Ned Harris hit
a liner down the left field line that
was good for three bases. McCosky
and Cramer, of course, scored and
Harris trotted home on Pink Hig-
gins foul fly to Jim Vernon.
Harris tripled again in the second
inning to chase Cramer home from
first, and in the fifth Rudy York
opened with a three-base knock to
center field On the next play Roy
Cullenbine funbled a grounder by
Higgins and York crossed the plate.
Detroits superfuous run in the
eighth developed from more mod
est attack-a pass to White followed
by singles from the bats of McCosky
and Cramer.
Meanwhile the Mats had kept in
the running with many thanks due
to the defensive deficiencies of the
Tigers. Detroit was guilty of four
errors in the third inning and two
runs, unaided by base hit. were
registered for Washington.
Double Error Scores Clary.
With one down, Clary was safe on
Whites wide throw. Higgins fumbled
Newsom's grounder and Billy Hitch
cock was even more helpful to the
Mats when to tried to field a roller
by George Case. The recruit short

threw wildly to York. Clary scored
on the double error and Newsom
reached third from where he tailed
on an infield out.
Washington other two runs were
made in the fourth. Leading of,
Cullenbine hit to York and was safe
when White failed to touch first base
after receiving the Indians toss.
He scored on successive singles by
Estalella and Jake Early. Estalella
followed him home while Higgins
was throwing out John Sullivan.
After that the Mats threatened
twice but White was stubborn when
trouble beckoned.

Skinny Swede includes
2,O00-Meter Record
In Floshy Streak
By HAROLD CLAASSEN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Gunder
Haegg, Mr. Swish of the Swedish
tracks, right now apparently is as
hot as the fires he helps put out.
On vacation from his duties as a
fireman in the city of Gaevle, Haegg
has shattered four world records for
distances from 1900 meters to 2
miles in the last four weeks.
Last night at Malmoe, Sweden, he
clipped tWotenths of second from
the standard of the rarely run 1000
meters. He was clocked in 5:16.4.
Previous to that he lowered the
outdoor mile time to 4:O6.2. the Q
mile to 8:478 and the 1.5OO-meter to
3.45.8. All the times will be unoffi-
cial until approved by the interna-
tional track group.
Invited to Run in United States.
His mile and 2-mile efforts, which
followed each other by only 48 hours,
were run especially at distances rec
ognized by United States track fol-
lowers and won him an immediate
invitation to compete in this country
during the coming winters indoor
season.
Haegg, still in his early 2os, has
been running for only four years
and became interested in track be-
cause his first employer, a farmer.
was interested. He's almost as hot
on a ski trail as he is on track.
Slender as a penny pencil, Haegg
last summer competed in a series of
l8 1,500-meter races and finished
seven of them in times that would
have been equivalent to 4:l0 miles
in this country.
How to Get Here a Problem.
Shortly after those performances
he was suspended for eight months
by the Swedish Athletic Federation
for expense account irregularities.
He returned to competition July /
OF this year by shaving Sydney
Wooderson's mile record.

Swedish newspaper in New York.

bid mailed MIN by Dan Ferris, Sec

Will make the journey from Nazi-
enclrcled Sweden to the United

Ferris also has invited Arne An

equaled the latter's 1862 time for
the mile.
