THE COLLEY SEE UM Give the CCC Ball Tossers a Break Outdoor Boxing Shows a Success This and That in Sportdom By FRANK COLLEY Sports Editor, Morning Herald ROOKIE ROUNDUP After lifting and beautifying Mother Earth's face for the major portion of the day, nothing so relaxes a fellow as to take a glove and ball and get out on the diamond and whoop it tip. That was plainly seen yesterday afternoon when the boys at the Boonsboro camp pulled in after working all day. They wanted baseball and despite the chilly breezes that swept that peaceful valley, the old hoYse-hide was given plenty of rides before retreat was called. Just how strong a ball club they will have this year is a question but an addition of fifty boys is expected in next week and with what material there is on hand a right fair nine should be developed. The big question now is to book games since the government tossed a monkey wrench into a proposed league which would take the boys to Washington.

Teams around this section should give the boys a break. Play them practice games, or exhibition games, anything, just so the lads get that competitive spirit and recreation that is coming to them. With the Boonsboro park just a stone's throw away there is no reason why the CCC boys couldn't work out with Bill Young's crew and perhaps stage some of their games there when the Jackets are on the road. Give 'em a break. They like to play ball and perhaps a real star will be uncovered.

Boxing will he another sport that will be enjoyed at the Boonsboro camp this summer. A ring has been pitched in a swell location, in fact It is so situated that the entire camp can repose on the sloping hill and watch the bouts. While plans are not complete, the camp officers' hope to build up boxing and during the summer months several shows will be put on for camp members and invited guests. There are quite a few officers at the camp who are handy with the gloves and they will take the boys in charge. The bouts will be with big gloves, the same as were used in the army camps during the war, and it is expected that this summer the Boonsboro camp will have more than its quota of visitors.

THIS AND Faber, located at the Boonsboro camp, is a brother of Jack Faher of University of Maryland fame. Skip, while at College Park, took part in football, baseball, basketball, la- cross and track. Reports reaching here have it that Bob Keller is laid up with a broken finger. If that is correct, it will be a tough break as the smaller TOURNEY TITLE IS AT STAKE IN GAME TONIGHT CAGE TITLE IS AT STAKE leagues don't keep injured players around long. President Staley is hot on the trail of a real speaker for the night of the annual banquet.

At least one bowler that went to Richmond will come off with something to show for his work and on Wednesday night will be presented with a medal. Security seems to be having trouble getting their president to attend the meetings. Lieut. Desmond will be right on hand tonight as captain of the Old Reading bowling team. Friday night the field trial club will make their drawings for the annual trials on Saturday.

ROWE LOOKS GOOD Lakeland, April 4 Lynwood (Schoolboy) Howe hurling the drat flve innings, the Detroit Tigers defeated Buffalo of the International League, 5 to 3, in an exhibition baseball game here today. Rowe, who is attempting a comeback after having been out of action moat of last season with an injured pitching arm, allowed seven hits, walked two and yielded one run. Bed Barrett with Beds 9 A 24-game winner at Muskogee, last year, helping greatly in giving the Muskogee team its first pennant in 30 years, Charles (Red) Barrett is one of the more promising rookies on the Cincinnati Reds' roster this year. Barrett, a right-hander, came to the Reds near the close of last season and pitched in one game, holding Brooklyn to one run in six innings. The Red rookie spent two years with Ponca City prior to going to Muskogee.

He was born at Santa Barbara, Ca-L, in 1015 and lives in Hollywood. Shepherd Collegians Meet Brenner's Shop of Martinsburg for Title Tonight on the Y. M. C. A.

D. Day, Chas. Harris, Eugcno Wagaman. OSHKOSH The World's Best Oversll 1' HOFFMAN'S 15 North Potomac St. Augusta, April 4, every blue moou or so, a fellow who's always helping somebody else helps himself and goes to town.

It happened on this sunshiny Georgia spring day as Henry Picard, the "Candy Kid" from Hershey, whipped his field with a brilliant liulsh to win the fifth Augusta masters championship, the most important title he ever won. the real spelling of his helping hand from that old maestro, Walter Hagen, seven years ago and since then has been the kind of a playing professional who will walk a mile to aid a young player headed for the pitfalls of traps, creeks and golfing oblivion. Hagen taught Henry the way of a real champ and Henry never forgot It. It was In the spring of 1931 that the golfing masses first heard of the ex-caddy who was born a mashie shot from Plymouth Rock. At the end of the regulation distance of the Carolina open, Hagen found himself tied for first place with a rather gawky, loose swinging kid who tried in vain to get reporters to put the in his name.

Odds on Walter were something like take your choice for the playoff and a few hardy golfers from where Henry learned his game, took the long shot chance. Never before had Hagen been beaten in a play-off, but he got his lumps that day to the astonishment of the kid's wildest admirers. Henry broke the record on the championship Siarmouth (Greens- horo, N. golf club layout with a G9 tn win the play-oft by 10 shots. As Henry walked into the clubhouse as if in a dream, Hagen beckoned lo him and said: "Nice work, kid.

Sit down a minute, I want to talk to you." Henry listened lo the old master talk for an hour and came out with the greatest golf lesson in his "You can be one of the greatest golfers in the world if you work hard on your game," advised Hagen. "Don't try to, hit the ball so hard but keep working. Why, one of these days you'll be on the Ryder cup team." "If I ever do half as much as you predict," said Henry thankfully, "you will deserve all the credit." Hershey Pro Captures th Masters' Tourney wit Two Stroke Advantage Augusta, April 4 Pickard, son of old Plymouth Massachusetts, gave a thorougi bred exhibition of front-running day to win the $5,000 Augusta Ni tional golf show over a star-studde field that included Robert Jones, the retired world chn plon. Taking the lead after 64 hole and with a half dozen distini threats hounding close on his heel the 30-year-old professional gav old man par a two-stroke lacing his final round to take first, plac and $1,500 with a total of 285, inn under par and two blows ahead his nearest opposition. Pays Steady Game AVith five veteran competitor standing within two strokes of hir at the start of the final IS-hoI stretch, Pickard calmly shook any "jitters" by doing a great 3 on the first nine by deadly chip ping and putting and then settle down to a stretch of pars after go ing two over at the start of th tretch" nine.

Par-shattering golf was not gooi enough for Light Horse Harr; Cooper of Chicago and Ralph Guld the national open champion to overhaul Pickard. Guldahl and Cooper finished in a tie for second place. Their final round 71's a stroke under standa figures for the course, gave them totals of 287. Little Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. took fourth plaee with an even par aggregate of 288.

Hi was a stroke in front of Byron Nel son, the young Reading, pro fessional. Jones, making what has become his lone competitive appearance an nually in the "ijlmsters" tourna ment, finished in a tie for sixteenth place at 297, which was his besl effort since he wound up in a deadlock for 13th position in the Inaugural tournament of 1934. TRAYNOR IN GAME Barstow, April 4 Pie Traynor played four innings In right field today, getting a two base hit in two trips to bat, while the Pittsburgh Pirates were winning their eleventh straight game against the semi-pro Barstow team 7 to 2.
