STORY ANOTHER DREAM
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

It ought not to be q tough task for
the Griffmen to win the series.
On Friday the Detroit Tigers, just
now not going any too smoothly. are
due here for the first of their three
contests. Inasmuch as every victory
for the home boys will count double
against the Tigers, these games are
going to be for blood.
Saturday "Draft Day"
Saturday is Draft Day at Georgia
avenue, Manager Clark Griffith hav-
ing planned to present to all the
drafted soldiers from the District of
Columbia complete outfits for base
ball.
It is hoped that President Wilson,
who has yet to see a ball game this
season, will be able to visit the ball
park and witness the presentation OF
the baseball paraphernalia to the Dis
tricts quota OF the new national army.
II possible, he will be accompanied by
the members OF his Cabinet and
prominent members of Congress. The
leaders Of the District government
will also be on hand.
Before the ball game gets under
way, Manager Griffith will have all
the soldiers come down upon the field,
and, following a short address, they
will be given their outfits. Camp
Meade should not want for baseball
during the training period.

front. I was born on January 8, 1894,
in LEVIN, near Lens, which, as you
know, was recsptured by the British
after the Germans had held It for
more than two years. Therefore, my
class was not due for service, under
normal conditions, until December,
1915, and, as a matter of fact, was
not called until December, 1916.
When I put my case to the French
consulate, Descamps was negotiat-
ing for the cancellation OF my con-
tract for the fight with Ahearn, for
which was to receive the biggest
sum Of money It has yet been agreed
to pay me for q contest.
Now Descamps, as all English pro-
moters know, IL about the shrewdest,
hardest, the most unyielding manager
extAnt when IL comes to a question
OF money; but to his everlasting
credit, when I told him was off to
the war, and would under no consid-
Grafton fight, he merely shrugged his
shoulders and laughed in that quiz
zical, impish way OF his, and agreed
that I was right. He even went back
with me to France.
We hoped to leave London on the
night Of August 4, but that was not
possible; it was three days later be-
fore we could start the journey. And
how different II was from any jour-
ney between England and France we
had made before!

DOWD HAS CHANCE
TOLAND PENNANT
FOR RACQUET MEN

Cecil Dowd, OF the Racquet Club.
has a chance to win the Suburban
League tennis pennant for the second
time in succession today. Dowd, who
plays the ranking position on the
Racquet Club team. Is scheduled to
meet Robert Candor, OF the Home
Club, in q postponed match.
A win for Dowd will put the Rae
quet Club ahead of the Princeton
Club by a single match. Racquet and
Princeton have been sailing alO-- to
the close of the season but one match
apart. The margin was held by
Princeton until Saturday. wnen the
Petworth team which cSbried Peggy
Knox and Hugh Buckingham, knocked
Princeton out of the pennant Just as
Princeton knocked Petworth out last
year.
Racquet took all seven matches
from Euclid, while Knox defeated
Dudley, of Princeton, and Knox and
Buckingham defeated Lou Doyle and
Dudley in doubles. 1t was discovered
that Racquet had two matches to play
OF. One was claimed by forfeit when
the Argyle players failed to show up.
and the other is that to be played
today between Dowd and Candor.
A win for Dowd will give his team
the Suburban League title for the
second year in succession. The loss
Of the match will tie the Princeton
and Racquet teams up again Racquet
has won 10 and lost %; Princeton
has won 20 and lost %.
Princeton lost the first engage
ment to Racquet this year by to ?.
came back and took all seven in the
next meeting, and in the special
match to see which team would repre-
sent the Suburban League in the city
series won four to Racquets five.
Today's engagement is expected to
result in a victory for Dowd. Can
doris play is expected to upset the
Racquet man on account of the fact
that the Home Club expert is a south
paw.
