1t might be of interest to the
tournament committee and those
mostly interested in the event here,
to know, if they are not already
acquainted with the facts, that
quite a number of the cities and
sections are going to fall below
their apportionment in the matter
of entries.
Cleveland, which was allowed
four entrants, does not expect to
have single player in the cham
piOnship, while the same holds
true of San Antonio. st. Joseph
and Worcester. Philadelphia re-
ports that it is hardly likely that
more than three players from
QuaIIertOwn will compete in the
tourney.
On the other hand one of Balti-
more's best known golf writer's
one who is in closer touch with the
situation than perhaps any other
writes that the Maryland metropo-
lis stand ready to enter twenty
players, if not more. But, the COM
mittee has decreed that the Monu-
mental city shall have no more
than six players in the event.
1t has been said that should

ties fall down in supplying their
full quota the difference will be
made up by substituting addi-
tiOnaI Washington entries. Right
now it begins to looks as though
the National Capital will be called
upOn to furnish at least twenty
players i'm the tournament, instead
of ten.
Cincinnati is holding it's elimlna-
ton tournament today. The City Of
Pork will be represented by two con-
testants. Toledo will not make it's
team selection until the first week
in June, while Newark reports that
it's squad will be definitely known
within q fortnight. Minneapolis and
St. Paul are confident of sending
their full quota.

and won two games with his timely
hitting. In short, whether O'Con-
nell ultimately proves to be worth
$4,000 or $780, Stengel is too good
hitter to remain on the bench
with any degree of permanency.

treated me fine when went to

glad they gave Val Picinich a

league for several years yet and

II don't wonder they laughed
when l headed for my old bench.
but believe me, felt more like
crying right there on the field. I
was all filled up
Isn't that just like good old
Hank Shanks, the merciless Mona
can? He couldn't thank each and
every one personally. He did
thank us, and we're passing it
along so that all you fans who
saw those Boston games last week
Will know just how Hank felt, lust
what a high-calibered chap Hank
1s and always has been.
He is now wearing the uniform
OF an invader, but down deep in
his heart he is pulling for the
Griffmen every time they play.
even when he pounds out a hit
defeating them. He has absorbed
the Washington spirit for eleven
straight years, coming to the club
raw kid fresh from the bushes
and leaving one of the veterans
of the circuit.
There was stately queen once
who, on going to the block to lose
her head, told those about her
that ON her heart they would
find the word Calais" Those
days have passed away, but to-
day there is a royal, loyal lad
named Hank Shanks whose heart
is marked with a "W."
Today DOME Bush leads his
athletes against the scrappy Tigers
in the first of four games out here
1t is said the Tigers are crumbline
under the strain. The Tigers are
said to yield the Griffmen as weak
and likely to be easy victims. II
the Tigers really are crumbling
and they look for soft victories fol-

ITO tell the truth, from all l
had read and heard, / expected to
be booed when 1 began playing at
Fenway Park 1t was a surprise to
find it the other way. Chance is a
good man to work for, too, but just
the same, after playing with the
Washington club eleven years, all
my big league life, it was hard to
break away"
Eyes, l noticed how you started
for our bench today" we replied,
''in that last inning"
That's right. When Billy Evans
called that third strike on me 1
was thinking how 1 was playing
my last game in Washington for
many a day and before 1 could
catch myself, l had left the plate
and was going to my old bench.
I'd have gone all the way, too, If
the fans hadn't begun laughing.
That brought me to myself and 1
turned back toward the Boston
bench.
