Wide e-0penRa
with 8-Team Field
Well Balanced
By George Huber

The high school baseball cham
pionship series begins tomorrow
with four games sending all teams
into action. Easterns defending
champion has Dutch Schaefer to
do the pitching, and a fair sprin-
king of experienced players to back
him up and should be the favorite.
But the Ramblers have done little
hitting in practice and were weak
at bat in their lone start, so the
race may turn into a wide-open af-
fair. In any event Eastern will have
no romp.
Testing the Ramblers in the
series opener will be Roosevelt, in
a game at Eastern Stadium. Other
inaugural tilts are Tech at Ana
costa, Coolidge at Western and
Central at Wilson.
Roosevelt's chances against East
ern weren't enhanced by the To
licking the Rough Riders took from
Gonzaga yesterday. And Central's
hopes against Wilson were dimmed
by the 9-3 plastering the Vikings
received yesterday at the hands of
little st. Paul's.
Central Is Upset Victim.
Jimmy Colliton and Joe Berling
combined to give Gonzaga its win
over Roosevelt, with Colliton driv-
ing in three runs and Berling fan
ming seven and giving up but five
hits.
st. Paul's victory over Central
ranks as the big upset of the early
season. The Saints banged IA hits
off the Vikings Lamond Jones, a
converted outfielder, punching their
blows we'll in contrast to three triples
raped out by Central with nobody
on the paths.
Should Eastern falter, it's difficult
to figure which of the others can
take over the top. Many have prom
Use, but little has been shown in
early games. western did okay in
beating Dewitt and Georgetown Prep,
but managed only to tie st. Adams.
Anacostia has beaten National
Training and Friends, but neither
can be counted as tough opposition.
Tech whipped ST. Anthony's and
Bladensburg, but lost to Episcopal
the only big time team it faced
Wilson dropped three in a row be-
fore beating Bethesda.
Coolidge might be the team to
do it. 1t has topped Gonzaga and
Blair after losing its opener to
Georgetown Prep.
Wide-Open Race Expected.
With these preseries results to 60
on, the series looms as free-for-
ALL Perhaps Eastern can show some
stuff this afternoon when it plays
Episcopal. The Ramblers were
barely beaten by George Wash
ington, good team, in tight
game, and if they should pass the
Maroons this afternoon they'll
gather a lot of backing.
Bernie Mead, a pitcher with a lot
of stuff, but questionable control,
has been selected by Coach Herman
Littman to face Schaefer and the
Ramblers tomorrow afternoon.
The Cool1dge-Western game will
bring out a good prospect. Slated
to do the pitching for Coolidge is
Bill Witzel, who shut out Gonzaga
last week, but he will be facing
team that has several good hitters,
among them Jack Castro and Nick
Chanaka.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., April IL
With the seasons opener rushing up
on them, the Mats are equipped with
only four regulars. Ossie Bleuge
has discarded his top-heavy left
handed batting order as an unhappy
experiment against southpaw pitch
ing, with the result that only Cecil
Travis, Stan Spence, Jerry eriddy
and Buddy Lewis are assured daily
duty.
In abandoning the idea of string
ing along with lineup that con-
tanned seven left-handed hitters,
Bluege is elevating Jack Sanford,
Ray Goolsby and Gil Torres, who
returned today from his Havana
home. They'll be inserted at first
base, left field and third base, re-
spectively, when the Mats are op-
posed by left-handed pitching.
Disrupting Blueges planned re-
arrangement of his lineup is the
annoying fact that Goolsby and
odllIOlu dlt ulidfdlldUle dG GIle
moment Goolsby will be benched
for several days for a minor opera
ton, Sanford has a swollen leg as
the result of being clipped on the
shin by pitched ball.
Go on Part time Duty.
Placed on part-time employment
by Bluege's shift are Left Fielder
jeff Heath. First Baseman Mickey
Vernon and Third Baseman Sherry
Robertson. Rookie Goolsby, whose
previous organized baseball expert
ence was with st. Augustine, Fla,
prior to a three-year stretch in the
Navy, will replace Heath against
left-handers, while Sanford will
supplant Vernon and Torres will
take over for Robertson.
Goolsby, it develops, had been
shielding his ailment from Bluege
for week in an effort to establish
himself more firmly in the absence
of Heath, who was granted permis-
sion to skip Washington's barn
storming trip in order to drive his
wife and three children to the
Capital.
Goolsby has been impressive

Brightest track star to flash across
the high school sports scene since
Bob Landmark set records and won
meets for Tech in 1912 is blond
Colin Timmis at Montgomery Blair
High School in Silver Spring. Colin
has been in only two meets so far in
the young track season, but already
he has followers amazed with both
the quality and quantity of his work
And he does this despite lack of a
fit place to train. Blair has no
track and Timmis works out with
the remainder of the team in cor
ner of the clay and turf football
field. Until he entered a dual meet
against Coolidge last week he'd seen
a cinder path only once. That was
when the team worked out at the
University of Maryland.
In two dual meets he has turned
in six firsts. Against Coolidge he
won the 100 and 220 dashes and the
discus and against Tech he captured
the 100, 220 and the broad jump.
He also finished second in the shot
put and third in the discus.
Must Improve Start.
He's slow starter in the dashes,
mainly because of lack of training,
but his times are plenty good. He
won the century in l07 and II Sec
onds, both fair high school times
that should be improved as the sea-
son progresses and he learns some
thing about starting. The 22o is
where he really shines, though, with
plenty Of space for his speed to
make up for weak starts. His times
in that are 238 and 22.4.
The &C" Club record for that is

ord is 22.4. and the University of

Loop Battle After
Edging Quantico
By Lewis F. Atchison

Now and then a man bits dog
and yesterday the Marines allowed
the situation to get out of hand
when Quantico's Leathernecks blew
1919 duke to Maryland at College
Park. 1t was the Terps' third con-
Secutive win.
Of that record the Terps should
be in the pink for their first South
ern Conference test against North
Carolina tomorrow on the home
lot. But, for insurance, Coach Burt
Shipley is hoping to get the loan of
AL Ceske, his best third sacker, who
was Kidnapped by the football squad
for spring practice.
Harry Crouthamel, whose steady
improvement has put him at the
head of the pitching staff, will start
against the Tar Heels, with Don
GleaSner behind the plate. That
brings us back to yesterdays doings,
and the story-book finish that pulled
the Terrapins out of the soup.
Gleasner previously had poled a
homer and triple when he came
up in the eighth with two out and
two men on base and his side trail
ing, rs. The triple would have
been another round-tripper had it
not struck piece of football equip
ment in deep right field, so Falcone.
Marine pitcher, decided to play it
safe and walk the gangling catcher
to get to Bill Brown. AS it turned
out he should've gone home to
dinner because Brown stepped into
fast one and swept the hassocks
clean.
Browns other hit was a double.
Hugger Of Quantico also hit for the
circuit with one on
Quantico got an early lead and
Maryland, tying the count at 4-all
IN the third, never was ahead until
Brown hit his homer. The Marines
got tally in the ninth and had
a man thrown out at the plate.
Defensively the shortstoppinp of
Bob Besley, who made two sparkling
assists and four putouts, featured
the Terps' infeld work. He also got
a hit.
