My father made iron things - tooth gears and turnbuckles, flanges and valves - thousands of cast-iron parts for machines and manufacturing systems in dozens of factories during the height of post-World War II industrial production. He and his band of foundry brothers took pride in all that. It was hot, dirty and heavy labor, but every foundry man I knew took a moment now and then to admire a perfectly cast, clean-grinded widget needed for a growing American economy. Of course, most of those cast-iron things are probably gone now. A lot of the machinery for which my father made parts became obsolete.

Robert Lampe bakes a wicked chocolate bread. He also helps load cannons. He is the cook on the Pride of Baltimore II, a reproduction of the privateers that were built in the Chesapeake Bay and used during the War of 1812. The tall ship sails to ports around the world, representing the Port of Baltimore and the state of Maryland. This week it is scheduled to be in Jacksonville, Fla., en route to Bermuda. I met Lampe, a strapping 29-year-old, a few weeks ago, when the Pride was escorting the Carnival Pride cruise ship in its maiden voyage out of Baltimore's harbor.

Three games into the season, Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala said his concern no longer revolved around an offense that lost 62 percent of last year's production. His worry centered on a defense that seemed to struggle under preseason expectations. Pietramala got his wish yesterday as the No. 8 Blue Jays blanketed No. 9 Hofstra on both ends of the field in a convincing 12-7 victory before an announced 2,560 at Homewood Field. Sophomore attackman Kyle Wharton scored a career-high five goals for Johns Hopkins (3-1)

Paul Rabil would not be denied this time. With the memory of his zero-point effort against Hofstra's Kevin Unterstein in March still fresh, Rabil out-dueled him in the rematch, scoring a game-high four goals to pace Johns Hopkins to a 10-4 victory over the Pride in the first round of the NCAA men's lacrosse tournament yesterday at Homewood Field.

Seth Tierney didn't need to be convinced of the potential of his Hofstra team, but the players welcomed some reassurance. That validation came Saturday when the then-unranked Pride (2-1) edged then-No. 1 Johns Hopkins, 8-7, in overtime, handing the reigning national champion its first loss of the season. No. 17 Hofstra's victory occurred just two weeks after the team opened the season with an 8-4 loss to a Massachusetts squad missing eight players suspended for an off-campus altercation.
