workmanlike If Boston Man Beats Pearson Who Held Crown Three Years Boston March Charles Pea body Massachusetts champion today won the national amateur squash racquet title defeating Stanley Pearson of Philadelphia who had held iit for three years The score of the match was i 15 11 15 15 12 15 11 15 11 The match was one qf five in a Boston Philadelphia Ihterqity tournament in which Pearson and Peabody were captains of the opposing teams The champions hard hitting brought him the first set easily with Peabqdy who has been undefeated this year winning only four games Pearsons forehand stroking gave him the second set although the Boston player had begun to develop his more conservative game and pressed the champion rribre closely Peabody squared the match by winning the third and fourth sets In the final set Pearson called on his resources of backhand and tried to score decisive points with corner shots but the Boston captain had the hotter endurance He forced his opponent out of position and by his speed discounted the strategy which the champion sought to employ tTY TBORD INFANTRY WINS The Sixty third infantry basket ers defeated the Ingram Athletic Club in the Ingram

practice Al Schftcht was the only twirler ex cused from work His stomach not great backstop The Nationals troubled him Ql Erickson surprised will be able to get along without his catching but the loss of his hitting will be something of a blow to their chances Never having had Davenport the Nationals wont miss him He might have been a hig help to them In this season of none too bright pitching prospects yet he was a big gamble for them or any other club The altitudinous Dave has the temperament everybody by the way in which he was able to cut em loose Griffith had to caution him about

waivers on him Ho was slated for Minneapolis until Gharrity decided he could make more money back home Which doesnt speak highly for the opinion in which Mayer is held by big managers Yet given a more

meeting of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association held at the New Willard it was decided that this years sectional event would be held at the Country Club of Virginia Richmond on June 4 and 5 As this just precedes the District of Columbia championship event scheduled for June 9 to 12 inclusive there is a slight possibility that dates for this latter event will be changed The Princess Anne Country Club of Virginia Beach was admitted to membership in the association and as Norfolk has never been awarded the sectional championship tourney this club was tentatively promised next years This is a new club with a course 6400 yards In length comprising 105 acres of land and is located about 200 yards from the ocean It Is being constructed by one of the best engineering companies in thfc United States and is expected to be in readiness about May or June of this year The question of putting middle Atlantic golf on a peace basis was discussed and it was decided that the team matches In addition to the individual tournament were desirable and Jt was left to the executive committee to decide whether or not to schedule these matches and if so the dates and place of holding them the committee to announce its decision before June 5 Following the usual custom the presidency of the association went to the club to which the titular event was assigned and MacKay of the Country Club of Virginia was elected to this office As the Princess Anne Country Club will get next years event a member of that club Barron was chosen first vice president Dr Brown of Bannockburn was chosen second vice president Walter McCallum Washington Golf and Country Club secretary and as usual Yates Penni man Baltimore Country Club treasurer Six hundred dollars was appropriated for prizes in the titular events 400 for the individual tourney and 200 for the team matches while rather tardy recognition of the fine work of the Columbia Country Club professional In last years event was also made in the

Gerald Tampa Pla March 6 The Nationals will play almost a quarter of a regular league campaign in games before the junior circuit season gets underlay They have a record number of exhibition games booked but there are several other clubs in the two leagues that are not far behind This is a season in which the players will know they have been working before the official opening of the national pastime Nor will they get any money out of the long stretch of gdmes Their board bills and transportation will be paid and that is all Salaries in the big leagues do not begin until the circuit season opens It is a long way off yet before the ghost will walk for the Nationals and their brethren By that time there will not be as many hanging around with ideas of reaching for a pay envelope The Washingtonclub will have its busted training camp phenoms just as the other outfits Spring exhibition games do not gtng process After your picture has been taken and you spend a couple of days untangling the red tape you wait from 10 days to 10 months to get your passports Uncle Sam is certainly making it tough on the drinking men If you have a date to say heres how to a friend in Havana the only way to be sure to keep it is to get started on your plans several months in advance No Cuba isnt far from Florida In mileage but Uncle Sam has made appear as distant as the North Pole No

Entering the stretch I Win closed toward Simpleton and the pair approached the wire disputing the result gallantly In theMlnal strides Thurber cleverly outrode his opponents to gain the verdict by a neck The unfortunate Bondage closed gamely on the inner rail to take show honors another peck behind Simpleton The race was run in fast time approaching within 1 5 second of the track record The
