RED SOX HERE
FOR FOUR
CANES
DOME Bush Takes His Team
Away Sunday Night for
Long Swing Abroad.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Today the Boston Red Sox open
four.game series here with the
Griffs. When the series ends Sun
day Washington will be without
major league baseball until July %.
Both the Red Sox and the Griffs
are playing inconsistent baseball.
This makes for interest, though, as
pitchers are liable to get rough
handling almost any time. Neither
DOME Bush nor Frank Chance has a
capable pitching staff.
Hank Shanks, a big fayorite with
Washington fans, may be found at
his old berth, third base today. Nc
MILAN has an injured finger and
Hank in his capacity as utility man
for the Red Sox, is holding down the
hot corner.
Howard Ehmke, who shapes up
like the best pitcher in the American
League this year, is sure to start
in one of the four games to be
played here.
Next Sunday night the Griffmen
go to New York where they have
TOUR games booked in three days,
morning and afternoon games COM
ing on July 4. Immediately after
the holiday afternoon struggle the
Griffs will hike out to Chicago where
they open their second swing around
the West. Here is their program after
leaving home:
At New York, July 2, 8, 4.
At Chicago, July 6, Z, s, 8.
At ST. Louis, July 10. IL, IL, 13.
At Detroit, July IA, Is, 16, II.
At Cleveland, July IS, 10, 20, 81,
~.
At Boston, July "a, %, 26, 81.
The Griffs have four postponed
games to play off in the West, two
in Detroit and one each in Cleveland
and Chicago. July 20 is an open
date in the schedule and will prob
ably be used for the postponed game
in Cleveland. Double headers will
be in order in Detroit and Chicago.
Tomorrow will be ladies' day at
Georgia avenue, all the girls being
welcome whether they bring the
boys along or not. This is a popular
feature in Washington and the play
ers say they get their best support
from the girls.

Now, as I was saying to DOME
Bush, it seems to the writer that
baseball players is healthy
enough without no extra walking.
And further and more, it is the
opinion of this writer that some
shoemakeds' trust got this fellow
Friday to join a ball club so as
to make business more brisker
for the shoe trade.
/ guess the players of the Chi
cago club must have worn out
about ninety pair of dog kennels
when they got those fourteen
ambles to the first and initial
pillow.
Friday just naturally walked
those birds to death. 1t used to
be that Thursday was our jinx.
Now it is Friday. On the very
same day, just to make less
walking popular and to keep first
base from developing a hot box,
our third baseman, Mr.. Bluege,
struck out five times in one
game.

Little Sympathy For
Hagen's Protest
OF British

Walter Hagen's protest
against the action of the Brit
ish golf authorities in barring
punched clubs from the British
open has received little SYM
pathy. The attempt of the
American professionals to use
punched irons was regarded
simply as a subterfuge to get
around the ruling made last
year in England against ribbed
clubs.
The amateurs who played
over there in the Walker Cup
were smart enough to know that
the punched club scheme came
under the same ban as the
ribbed .clubs. Losing in sport
is a. gentle art, no less than
winning.

No Need For Champ
To Work Hard
For Tom

Dempsey has not been taking
the fight with Gibbons too seri-
ously. There seems to be no
special reason why he should.
Gibbons ought to be easy for
the champion.
Gibbons has had more ring
experience and he will be ham
died more expertly than any
opponent that Dempsey has
faced, but if his punching power
is strong enough to batter down
the champion, then it will be
certain that the champion has
gone back with leaps and

SHARP BREAK
IN WHEAT
Heavy Liquidatiag Sales Held
To Be Cause

Chicago, June 2.-Wheat suffered a
sharp break in price &C the opening
today but quickly rallied. Heavy
liquidating sales on the part Of hold
ers were responsible for the break
whereas extensive covering by shorts
brought about reaction. Sci ling
out appeared in a great large meas
ure to be due to bearish views re-
garding government measures to reg
uate trading and this tendency was
offset more or less by the posting Of
a notice from the government super
visers here denying that limit had
been placed on the amount Of trad
ing in future deliveries.
Opening prices which varied from
unchanged figures to one cent
lower with July, s1.O93-4 to
s1.10 and September, $l.O9 IL to
$1.O97-S was followed by a drop of
nearly. 2 cents in some cases and
then by recovery to about yester-
days finish.
Better buying support for the
wheat market than has been shown
for sometime developed today near
the end of the board of trade session.
Bulls contemed that liquidation had
run its course and that a rally in
prices was to be looked for.
