told them, but the bandits insisted
she had, and advanced another
step. Mrs. johnson whipped out
the gun, and told them, "You asked
for it; now you're going to get it"
She pulled out the gun, and that was
all the two needed because, accord
ing to Mrs. johnson, "They fiew!"
She fired twice after the hastily
retreating pair, locked the door,
and went back to bed, reporting
the incident to the police later.
Mrs. johnson said, "This isn't the
first time. It's happened several
times before" She stated the last
burglary attempt occurred a year
ago this past summer.
She described the men as being
short, rather stout, with both pos
sessing ''big, black eyes," Mrs.
johnson said they could have been
brothers. They were wearing dirty
overalls and caps.
"I'd know them anywhere" Mrs.
johnson stated.

1t. Guyon's Grid Tactics Tell
In Air Attack Against Jups

1t, Joseph F. Guyon of the Navy
former Catholic University football
star and now pilot of a Helldiver
dive bomber, led his team of flyers in
an ff-tackle" assault on big
aircraft assembly plant near Tokyo,
according to Navy Department re-
port just received from the fleet.
The factory was smashed with
heavy bombs from the carrier-base
aircraft, the Navy said. 1t. Guyon
dropped his own load of bombs
souarely on the main plant building,
which was left burning after series
of attacks by the raiding forces.
1t. Guyon formerly was resident
of Washington but he now is listed
as living at Louisville, KY. He played
halfback on the Catholic U. team
from 1887 to 1910. His father, Joe
Guyon, a Chippewa Indian, played
on the famous Carlisle Indian eleven
in the days of the great Jim Thorpe,
and later with Georgia Tech. 1t.
Guyon's uncle, Charles Guyon, also
played on the Carlisle team and now
coaches at Eastern High School
here.
1t. Guyon, 27, entered the Navy
shortly after leaving Catholic Uni
versity. He has participated in
aerial attacks on Marcus, Wake,
Rabaul, Kwajalein, Truk, Saipan
and Tarawa. He now is attached to
an air group known as "Crommelin's
Thunderbirds," named for its skip

throw pass at midfield that is
completed on the enemy's 2O-yarc
line but Redskin is clipped of
the play they'll gather a 15-yarc

Conversely, the same fate can befal
them if the pass is intercepted ano

Any kick touched by an oppos-

mage and recovered by the kicking

After a fair catch the ball is
dead when it is caught by any re-
ceiver, except as now provided for
kick which touches member of
the kicking team. This nullifies
the penalty for taking more than
two steps on a fair catch.
Extra points can be tried any

hibited The field judge will use

Star Staff Correspondent.

BAINBRIDGE. Md. April 10
Washington ball club is going into
the American League flag race with
a pitching staff of 10, and of
them haven't had blg-league eX-
perience. Nevertheless. the pitching
department shapes up as the strong
est in the club.
There can't be much wrong with
corps that includes such as
Dutch Leonard. Johnny Niggellng,
Mickey Haefner and Roger Wolff
The first three gave good accounts
of themselves last season. even
though their winning records were
not so imposing They were far
better on the hill than on paper.
Wolff was about the poorest
pitcher with the Mats last year, but
this time promises to be much
better. Dental trouble had him
down in the 1914 season, but it has
been remedied and Roger now looks
in fine condition. A strained back
muscle has him on the bench at
present. but it is merely tempo
rary ailment and nothing to worry
over. according to Trainer Mike
Martin.
Backing these four, who are slated
for regular starting turns. will be
Alex Carrasquel-if he ever gets
here from Venezuela - veteran of
several seasons with the Mats: Ma
rino Pieretti. star draftee from Port
land of the Coast League: Santiago
Ullrich, who looks greatly improved
after season with Chattanooga:
Wallv HolboroW and Larry Burger, a
couple of semipros from New York.
and Rojo Roche, the surprising Gu
ban-1rlShman.
Of this group, only Pieretti is ex-
pected to assume starting role. He
was best of the pitchers in the minor
leagues last year on record with his
( 26 wins against 13 losses for the
Portland club. There were no bids
for him last season mainly because
of his size He's only feet 7 inches
tall and big league clubs have an
aversion to pitchers under 3 feet TO-
! The Washington club, however
picked him as its first man in the
draft last fall and it looks as though
it made a wise selection. Pleretti
has an assortment of pitching stuff
and knows what to do with it. Man
ager Os Bluege is confident the
stocky Italian will get along.
Carrasquel and Ullrich will bear
the main burden of relief pitching.
There will be some work. of course.
for Burger. HolboroW and Roche.
They are no Humpty-Dumpties, de-
spite their lack of major league ex-
perience. In fact, they have seen
little service in the minors. but both
Burger and Holborow did some
