SHAW TO co AFTER

Bulky HurIer Warmed Up All
Right and Is Expected to

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. June 1o.-Jim Shaw
will start today's game against the
Browns unless something goes wrong
at the last moment. The big fellow
warmed up yesterday and showed lots
of speed. Prexy Griff counts on him
to push the present winning streak
up to six.
shaw is going to be a great pitcher
again." explains his boss. "Just as
soon as he recovers from the use OF a
shine ball. He had a fine curve ball
up to three years ago, then found he
had a sore arm. He then began using
shine ball. with his speed, the
shine ball was a great success. That
was how he could give Eddie Cicotte
such trouble using the very ball Ci-
cote was doctoring.
But now Shaw is learning his curve
ball all over again. He Is not finding
II SO easy to do, either. but Ia almost

as ever he was"

Joe Judge Is about ready to step
into the lineup. Mike Martin admits
that the wound inflicted by Babe

healed, is in such condition that Judge
could play IL needed. However. with

the rest he can, but Joe is crying to
get back into the game and Is GER
tain to play against the White Sox on
Saturday.
IF MikeIl bandage my leg I can
play all right" said Judge. I'll go
mad sitting in the stands and watch
ing the games. l can't help roofing.
and I'll be in a fight with some OF
these st. Louis fans IL I don't get in
there"
On Tuesday, Judge came near to
betting his shirt on the Griffs. He
was in the grandstand and roofing
for his teammates when several gents
offered to lay him some money. But
Joe took one peek at the mo Gam

game. They might have been cops,
and what excuse would ] have had
No, Joe didn't bet. But I'll have to
get in there Soon or I'll be in a fight,
that's sure"
st. Louis is baseball crazy this year
The success OF the Cardinals in the
National League is helping the
Brownies. A short winning streak al
any time will pack Sportsman's Park
so eager are the bugs to sec the
game.
Carl weilmann, the long southpaw
will probably fling for the Brownies
today. That means trouble for the

DR.. T. J. w. Brown
Gets Two on Fourth?

DR.. Thomas ]. w. Brown, of
Bannockburn, may not be Dis
trict golf champion this year. DR.,
Brown may never be District
champion for that matter, which
doesn't worry him a great deal.
But he has something on the 9TH
er golfers at that. Yesterday in
the opening round at Columbia
DR.. Brown shot a two on the
fourth. Now the number four
hole is a 395-yard hole, and par
for the hole is four. There's a
ditch connected with negotiating
the fourth too. 1t has never been
done in two before, SO when DR..
Browns second shot landed on
the green and trickled into the
cup he became famous, although
he doesn't need the fame at all.

OXFORD TEAM GOES
ALONE AGAINST TIGERS

NEW YORK, June 1o.-A cable has
been received from Captain Rudd, OF
oxford, informing the management of
the Princeton track team that Cam
bridge will be unable to participate
In the coming meet, but that oxford
will compete with the Princeton
alone.
The explanation is that Fenner's
track in Cambridge is also a cricket
ground, with matches being played
continually six days OF the. week
from IL o'clock in the morning until
I In the evening. Last year, when Ok
ford and Cambridge had scheduled an
interuniversity meet for June, the
meet fell through because the Cam
bridge track athletes tried to train un-
der these conditions and found 1t i'm
possible.
while Princeton regrets that her
team will not meet tho combined Ok
ford Cambridge aggregation, she flnds
satisfaction In the fact that oxford
won from Cambridge in "the sports
last March and believes that the meet
should be close. Princeton's chances
OF victory have improved since the
competition was arranged.

twice did the Browns reach third. ana
they got to second only four times.
That is how effective the big south
paw was out there in the binding
sun. Singles by Shanks and Milan
and pass to Roth filled the sacks in
the first frame and a long fly from
Harris bat scored Shanks.
Harris walked in the fourth, went
up on q sacrifice, and scored on
O'Neilrs double to left. We haven't
mentioned that awful NTH. One man
came over then when Rice scored
from second, on Roth's single to cen
ter.
with two down in the ninth,
Shanks, Milan and Rice all singled in
succession, the Monaco Marvel scor-
ing on Gedeon's wild throw after Rice
had singled past him. There you
have the four runs for the Griffs. The
| hrst earned, the last two were not.
But at least three or four more should
have been checked in for the visiting
clan.
| Rsth Got Tive Good Ones.
Bobby Roth contributed two beau
tiful catches. He took Shocker's long
| drive in the third with his gloved
hand over his shoulder while going
at full tilt for the wall. In the NTH
he backed right UP against the wall
| and took another from Shocker's bat.
Stanley Harris raced far out into
right field in the fourth and pulled
down Gedcon's fly. That seemed GER
tain to be a hit until Harris camped
beneath 1t. Gedcon lost another hit
in the eighth, when Milan hauled
down his drive close to the wall in
left ield. Frank Ellerbe got in two
fine stops OF hard-hit balls. They
cheated Gedeon and Billings out OF
| safe smacks.

You Can't Blame 'Em,
At That.

In the old days Of the race
track there was what was known
as "shooing in" the winner. That
is, everybody held back his
horse so that the selected one
could romp home in front. That's
what they're trying to do in a
tournament scheduled for club
in the middle West. About
hundred players have entered,
and they have selected one man
to win. This was agreed upon
when said man, after looking at
the immense silver bowl which
constitutes the trophy for the
winner, said:
"If / win that I'll fill it up for
the boys as often as they empty
it."
And so the word was passed
around.

The Washington times., 1920-06-10

Hank Shanks started that sixth
inning with a free ticket. Milan fol-
lowed with a clean single to right,
sending Hank to third. Then Hank
took too much distance off third base
and Josh Billings cut him down with
a perfect peg to Thompson. Milan
swiped second with Shocker holding
the ball, and went on to third on
Sisters poor throw to Gerber
Rice slapped a merry bounder that
Joe Gedeon got just in time to nail
Milan at the plate. Rice Immediately
stole second and scored on Roth's
single TO center. Harris drew walk
Ellerbe hammered a hot one down TO
third base line that Thompson seized
and Roth was forced at third by
nimblc work on the part OF the
Brownies.
Cost One Tally Then.
II good, hard, earnest effort was
not wasted in that inning 1t never
was in any ball game anywhere.
Both drives by Rice and Ellerbe
should have been safeties with better
luck. 1t just happened that they were
nailed. But Shanks should never have
been caught off third. That cost one
run, right there.
However, there is one relief; it be-
gins to look as though the Washing
ton pitchers had quit their wasting.
Walter Johnson on Tuesday and
Jezebel Zachary yesterday gave fine
exhibitions on the hill. So long as
the hurlers will do that those wild
runners in the regular lineup VIII
merely keep the fans on their toes.
IT wouldn't take any victories away.
Jimmy O'Neil fell asleep off second
base in the sixth inning and was
snapped off by Josh Billings deadly
wing again in the ninth. Milan had
reached third, when he took too great
lead and perished after wild chase
ND and down the line. That folly cost
the Griffs run. They didn't need a
run, but they didn't get 1T, either.
Gets in First Division.
However. who is going to kick over
tong about the team when IL has bat
tied its way to five straight victories
and a place In the first division. Not
