events has been dumped squarely
into the lap of DR.. r. A Keilty, who
already has a flock of links jobs,
and Harry G. Pitt, who has quite a
few himself. Edgar Lucas. prexy of
the Maryland association, expects
shortly to be in the Army, which
will leave Keilty and Pitt to carry
on. and soon may leave only Keilty,
for Pitt may get an early Army call.
Any golf association functions
mainly from the Office of secretary,
but in the case of Emmett Gary, who
is as we'll known to Washingtonians
as he Is to the Baltimore boys, the
whole atmosphere and most Of the
activity of the Maryland organiza
ton were in his capable hands.
Emmet was more than a front man
and a scoreboard registrar. He
knew the history, the tradition and
the quirks of all the Journeys, and
even the individual foibles Of the
players Nothing in Maryland golf
was a secret to Gary who was the
center of a web OF links lore in this
sector as few men have been.
But the golf affairs of the Mary
land association will go on, although
the State solons have amalgamated
their amateur-pro affairs with the
Middle Atlantic P. G. A. First of
these events will be staged at Con-
gressional May l8. and Bob Keilty
will handle it. while Gary. dressed
up in navy blue, will be learning
other things.

Coaching Job Is Best

NEW YORK, May 2-Charley
Gehringer. who was the Sphinx of
second base for the Detroit Tigers
for l8 years. now is going through
the motions Of being a first base
coach for the Bengals.
Going through the motions" is
used advisedly in describing the con-
duct Of Gehringer, who waves his
arms, strides up and down the
coaching box and cups his hands to

Gehringer. one OF the most uni

major league suit, is Walter o.

Charley wanted to retire last win

Tigers prevailed upon him to stand
out there on the field in his famil-
lar No. 2 uniform. so the fans could
continue to see him.
LOSCS INO tnc WIN vernon.
The slender, affable Gehringer
knows he does not have the vocal
equipment to be train announcer
and he joshes right back when rival
players start yelling at him to quiet
down
In one spring game he replied to
jibes Of Mickey Vernon, Washing
tons flrst baseman, by saying, If
my chatter bothers you too much.
Mickey, you can complain to the
umpire
Gehringer was not enthusiastic
about coaching job when the mat
ter was first broached, but now he
feels differently.
This is the greatest job I ever
had" he said today. Besides If I
didn't have it what would I be do
ing? I thought I was fixed with an
had good thing, supplying uphol-
stery buttons
But that went out with cuffs on

Shea, Detroit's other coach, came
along and started ribbing Gehringer
He may not be noisy, but he's the
best dressed coach in the league"
asserted Baker. Boy, he sure can
make his clothes harmonic"
Yeah" added Shea, and when

Summer Links Rules
To Be Resumed Soon

Lack Of Rain, Joponese
Beetle Hurt Courses,
Players Will Find

Summer golf rules will be back in
force at almost all the country clubs
around town in a few days, and I'M
less the weather man drops a sprin-
kle of rain the linksmen aren't going
to care for some of the spots into
which the ball rolls For more than
a fortnight now the golf courses
have been without badly needed rain.
The fairway watered courses at
Chevy Chase and Columbia are all
right. but the others could take a
lot of rain with a lot OF benefit.
Furthermore, AL Houghton Is sing
ing the blues at Prince Georges be-
cause the Jap beetle has moved in
and ruined some of his fairways
Notwithstanding the efforts Of sci
entists from the nearly University OF
Maryland, the beetle is carrying a
real war to the golf courses
They've raised hob with our fair
ways" says AL. We've sowed tons
of seed and still they come"
The Jap invader hasn't hit hard
at the courses on the northwest side
of town, but probably it won't be
long. The beetle, according to the
scientists, travels at the annual rate
of between 5 and miles, which
means that if the courses north and
west of town aren't hit this year
they'll be invaded next year.
The general situation around town
is that real rough bordering the
fairways doesn't exist any more.
Greenkeepers are cutting the rough
low to save golf balls, and when
golfers knock 'em into what used to
be the high grass, they aren't lost
so easily. That. of course, is all to
the good, and as it should be. Mean
while, golfers are turning their old
golf balls in to the pros and sports
stores and collecting a little for
them in dozen lots.

Spring Grid Tilt

That T formation has cropped up
again where you'd least expect it
at Notre Dame.
A descendant of the Stanford T,
Coach Frank Leahy's new football
product was ready for unveiling to
the public in the Irishs annual
spring game today
Proceeds OF the 1912 varsity romp
with the graduating seniors will go
for the benefit of the late Tommy
Yarr's three children. Yarr, Notre
Danes 1881 captain and famed
center, died during the Christmas
holidays.
Sticks With Tradition.
The game Also was for the bene-
Mt OF the grid grumpies who have
been shaking fingers in Leahy's face
for purportedly scrapping the Knute
Rockne backfield shift and taking
to the T.
The young coach, who last fall
tutored the Irish through their first
undefeated season since 1880, denies
he is junking anything so traditional
as the Rockne shift, and says Jessie
Harper and Rockne used his par
ticular T before they devised the
shift which he plans to retain.
Our material appears to adapt
itself particularly we'll to this style

will add variations and build on the

sophomore, started the coach con-

"Bertelli was not strong as a run
ner," Leahy explained. 80 If we
can place three good running backs
with him and have him handle the
ball and pass from the quarterback
position, we may get the maximum
effectiveness"
Teaming with Bertelli today were

Beating Roosevelt
By GEORGE HUBER.

Bob Hill, Central Highs first
baseman. has been getting such
a terrific buildup as the best school,
boy baseball player in town that
some of the other lads have been
overlooked, especially those playing
first base There are number Of
outstanding first sackers. among
them Howard Keithley Of Tech and
Don Hillock of woodrow Wilson
Keithley particularly is playing a
whale of a game and sports writer's
and coaches who at the end of the
series will select the honorary ALL
High teams are giving him increased
consideration. Holding Hill up as
criterion for other first basemen
perhaps is unfair and imposes a
strain on the youngster.
He has been the subject Of fea-
tured newspaper stories. columnists
have written about him, his pic
ture has been published with him
wearing q Washington Nationals
uniform, and there even has been
an item about him in New York
dailies.
Fans Expect Too Much.
AS a result. high school followers
expect something remarkable from
him and the youngster has been jit-
terry. He's muffed two Of his 20
chances afield and at the plate has
been inclined to swing at bad balls
In an effort to live up to his press
notices. Too. opposing pitchers have
been wary Of giving him anything
resembling a good ball to hit, and If
he wanted 70 wait he could walk two
times in three. He hasn't made
long hit and he's been popping up
often. but he still is carrying a 428
average with three singles in seven
trips during the series.
Meanwhile Techs Keithley has
been playing a relaxed and effective
game without an error in IS chances
and with several brilliant saves on
wild heaves from teammates. Yes
terday he found his batting eye to
spark Tech to a 1914 victory over
Eastern. In the other half of the
high school program, Westerns de-
Tending champions continued on top
with their third straight victory, a
14-2 triumph over Roosevelt.
Techs first run didn't come yes
terday until the seventh inning. by
which time Eastern had 40 lead.
But in the seventh, Keithley, first
at bat, hit a long homer into left
field that started the Maroons NOV
ing. Two more runs came across,
and in the next inning the eventual
winners Tailed six times against
three Eastern hurlers, gathering five
hits, one of them double by Moe
Friedberg. Keithley scored again
during the frame.
Eas,erns big inning was the
fourth when it scored three runs on
only one hit, being helped by three
Tech errors. Dan O'Connell on the
Maroon mound went all the way and
served up only three singles, but he
issued nine walks.
