College Title in 1ang|e
After CoIonia|s Edge
Georgetown Nine

The unofIicial local collegiate
baseball title series now is so mixed
up none of the clubs will be able to
make clear claim to the crown.
Georgetown has won the most
games, two each over Maryland and
American, but lost its tilts to George
Washington and Catholic U. Cath
olic U. has the best percentage mark
with its one win and no loss, not
having played anybody else and with
only another game against G. U. on
it's local schedule.
George Washington. though, can
make as good claim as any one for
the title after beating G. U. yester-
day, 7-6. 1t previously split with
Maryland, and has no more local
games scheduled. 1t boils down to
where nobody can claim the title
without getting lot of argument
from the others.
Maryland is out Of the local pic
ture. but it's going after the South
ern Conference leadership. It moved
into second place by taking Vir-
ginia Military. 1873. yesterday, CIV
ing 1t three wins in four starts for
a IT'S average That's just below
North Carolina's .818 figure. The
Old Liners and Tar Heels were
rained out last week. Maryland can
pull up to 800 today If it beats
Washington and Lee at Lexington,
the team it displaced yesterday.
Georgetown twice rallied to tie
G. w. at 3-3 and A yesterday at
Hilltop, but six errors eventually
caused its downfall. Frank Cavallo
provided the winning edge by
doubling in the seventh and scor-
ing on Joe Famulette's single. Big
hit of the game was Chet Pietras'
homer with one aboard in the first
that helped send the Colonials of
to a 80 lead. Lou Miller was
Georgetown's big noise with q dou-
BILE and triple.
Maryland went wild with 20 hits
while beating the Keydets at Lex
ington. 1t was a tight game,
though. until the sixth. when the
Terps broke a IL tie with q four
run outburst. Shortstop Bob Brewer
homered with two aboard in that
frame.

European LaureIs
BY the Assoeioisd Press

LONDON, May 1l.-Fourteen ma
tions bid this week to join the Meth
erlands in the quarterflnals OF the
European zone Davis Cup tourna-
ment.
The Dutchmen, led by veteran
DR.. Hans Van Swol, jumped the
gun in the second round. They
swept all five matches from Portu-
gal last week.
Britain and Norway are next UP,
starting play today at Oslo, but all
the quarterinals bracket will be
filled out by May 18. The schedule:
Norway VS.. Britain at Oslo, May
11-13.
France VS.. Hungary at Paris, May

Ireland VS.. Denmark at Dublin,
May Is, 1913.
Czechoslovakia vs.. Brazil at Prague,
May 14-16.
Belgium VS.. Argentina at Brussels,
May 15-17.
Hungary Has "One-Man" Team.
The zone winner will play the
survivor of the North American
zone tournament for the right to
challenge the United States, holder
OF the Davis Cup.
Paris, Zagreb and Dublin tennis
fans should see the closest tilts.
Hungary boats "one-man team

Czechoslovakia's great JaroslaV
Drobny on the Riviera this spring
On that form he is favored to beat
any two singles men that France
can put up.
Marcel Bernard and whoever
plays the other French singles will
be too tough for Asborth's running
mate, Andras Adam, so the duel will
swing on doubles.
In Paris, it was announced France
will 60 into the series with a three
man team-Bernard, Bernard De-
stremau and Robert Abdesselam
4 The fourth member, Henri Bolelli,
who was to team with Bernard in
doubles, suffered broken thumb in
a practice match.
Yugoslavs Look Strong.
Italy's first postwar Davis Cup
team will get a real challenge from
the veteran Yugoslavs. Drago Mitic
and Joseip Palada, who last year
went to the zone semifnals. Italy
won by default from Poland in the
opening round Yugoslavia found
little opposition in Turkey. Italy is
favored.
At Dublin it will be battle OF
schoolboys. Denmark, whose team
includes Kurt Nielsen, II, and Tor
ben Ulrich, 10, showed great matur-
ity in ousting Egypt in the first
round. They looked too good for
the Irish, who had breeze beating
Luxembourg.
If the Argentines can regain their
land legs after a late plane trip to
Brussels, they should survive. In
the others, form favors triumphs
by Britain, Sweden and Czechoslo-
