and is hard man to double.
Believe me. that boy won't hit

1t was a long blow into the
Polo Grounds stands that gave
Thomson place in baseball
history in the final game of the
1851 pennant playoff. With the

The Giants could afford to

Kiechlin, from Brooklyn, won

few events in which college
freshmen can participate.
Hidden was second in the Dis
trict AAU 220 and third in the
100 last year. and both boys were
on the sprint medley relay cham
pionship team. Kiechlin excelled
in anything from the sprints to
the 600. plus the high and broad
jump. Hilden's best distance was
a quarter of a mile.
Going. from Mineola, N. Y,
was second to Carl Joyce in the
District AAU $50 last season. A
half mile was his favorite dis
lance.
Although Georgetown has a
losing basketball season to date
with an 80 record, the Hoyas
have another of their fabulous
freshman teams and Cowley was

next season. He's fast and quick

Georgetown periodically has

Duquesne, which rode to its
18th success in a row last night

rest of the top 10 topsy-turvy-
with Oklahoma City. Minnesota
and George Washington the VIC

Seattle climbed from 18th to
sixth place on the strength of
its continued improved play. The
West Coast club has won 20 in
row since its opening game loss
to Wichita, and five of those
who balloted now believe they're
the Nations best.
Duke Leaps to Eighth
Although Duke 13-4 did not
get a single firSt-place vote, the
Blue Devils moved up IL notcheS
TO eighth place as they received

handed Navy Saturday.
Meanwhile. George Washing

account for 100 of its 159 points
that left it at the head of the
second 10. The Colonials, who
meet Duke at Durham Saturday
in an important test of strength,

seven of the teams in the top
10-and only two less than
Ouquesne.
Up-and-coming LaSalle moved

Four Conflicts With Orioles.
Baltimore's return to major

four conflicting dates between
the Senators and Orioles. Chi

Senators will be entertaining the

double-header, while Phila-

For the intense baseball fan
there's the possibility of view

one day without travelling more
than 40 miles. For those who
like to be up to their ears in
baseball, there's a double header
at Baltimore August II with the
