Eastern'S Late Rally Tells.


Anacostia's Indians furnished a
surprise in the first period by out
scoring Eastern, 14-6, largely through
the efforts of Bill Kline, who scored
three goals, and Milt Gendason, who
tailed twice. Eastern then stopped
the surge and limited Anacostia to
two foul shots in the second period,
while Alex Vorobey, Mike Pappafotis
and Bob Lemon got the Ramblers
back in the game.
Anacostia still led, 1915, at the
half, but Eastern moved away
steadily thereafter. Ed Charnock of
Eastern tied the score at 1920, and
the Ramblers went ahead to stay on
Lannon's basket. Lannon's three
goals in the third period and two by

Hickey Is Pessimistic.
Yesterday Branch Hickey of the

fears that the International, Ameri-
can Association and Pacific Coast
Leagues would have to shut their
gates due to the player shortage.
Shaughnessy observed that while
the majors plan to absorb expert
enced men on the way down, the
Double-A loops will be able to use
some on the way up who are not
quite ready for the big show. Other
sources of player material indicated
by the baseball executive are the
armed services who are discharging
men every day, some of them ball
players.
1T all adds up to a repeat per-
formance of last year when many
feared for the games future, "
Shaughnessy asserted as he pointed
out that every Double-A club has a
big investment of from 100000 to
100000 in player talent, men on
their defense list who would be lost
if the teams failed to operate.

league to weather the storm in

poets that two cities that could not
play night ball last year will turn

Spring training schedules are be-
ing arranged by the eight Interna-

the lineup will be something like

Buffalo at Hershey, Pa: Baltimore
