Pressed by followers of the for
tunes of the Nationals. Griffith last
night gave his reason for releasing
DOME Bush. an action which has been
so severely criticized by Washington
base ball fans. He maintained that
Bush was thoroughly incompetent as
a manager, unable to enforce disci-
pline in the ranks and Indifferent as
to the improvement of the club.
Griffith Justified.
Bush was signed as manager for
one year only, and during the season
rein to dictate the field work of the
Nationals. Bush alone was RESPONSE
BILE for the selection of players for
games and for strategic moves in
competition. Griffith is of the opinion
that Bush failed to acquit himself
properly in these respects and there
fore seems fully justified in seeking a
change.
His formal statement setting forth
the reason for the release of Bush is
frank and to the point. for the Ma
uonals president is not a man to
mince words.
The Real Reason.
The statement follows:
"When i decided not to retain
Bush az manager for the Wnsh-
lngtOn club next year 1 thought
that unless you could give n man
leaving your employ IN boost ID
was hest not to say any thing. This
alone was my reason for not max
ing my statement. Bush hns seen
Mt, however, to give out various
interviews and in no doing re-
leases me from that obligation, 40
that / nm nt liberty to give to the
public my reasons for not retain
ing him.
81 released him because, I'm my
opinion, he was Incompetent as n
manager; fciling to maintain dis
cipline among the players, utter
disregard of the development or
the use of young players, favOrit-
ism and Indifference when the ball
game was over to the ways or
means of improving conditions.
"It IN always my desire to give
the Washington public winner,
md, knowing these facts, 1 WINS
confident thnt under such LEADER
ship our club could not I'm the fu-
ture show any promise.o

Inside Golf
RuCHESTED HnDTnN

Many golfers seem never able to
keep the head down while the ball
is hit, nnd nfterward, while the
club follows through.
Assuming that the head is kept
in its fixed place during the back
swing, the reason 1t hobs up about
the time the clubhead meets the
ball Is almost invariably due to
pressing. Observe your stroke, IL

Days Of Long Ago In Sports Are Recalled As Old-Timers Play

CLEVELAND. Ohio. July 29.-Cy Young, the only pitcher to win 500 games, showed today that he had lest none of his cunning. when. pitching for a team of oldtimers of the Cleveland major league clubs of yeSter-years against the old sand lotters of this city, he struck out two men and allowed only one hit in two innings he was on the mound. He also got one of his sides five rlts. Chief Zimmer, who caught Cy more than decade ago, did the re- ceiving.
 The game was a five-innng exhi- bition for the benefit of the medical protective fund of the Cleveland Am ateur Baseball and Athletic associ- ation, intended to be used in the event of injuries to sand-lot players and umpires. The sand-lotters won, 6 to 4. Nap Lajoie, considered by many the greatest second baseman the game has ever known, and Bill Schwartz who played third base, got two two-baggers. Other former ma jor leaguers participating included Earl Moore, no-hit pitcher who was Cleveland's ace 20 years ago; Charley smith Homer Davidson, Larry Twitchell, Charley Hickman, Red Carney. Nick Altrock and Jack Graney.

NEW ORLEANS NET STARS CLEAN UP IN COTTON STATES
Phelps Wins Singles Match While New Orleans Team
 Wins Doubles

New Orleans players made a clean sweep of the Cotton States tennis tournament Sunday, when Esmond Phelps, the crack New Orleans racquet weilder, defeated Lee Allen Brooks of Birmingham in straight sets. and the New Orleans team of Phelps and Allen Huggens defeated the team of Rush Hess, Birmingham and Harry Hallman, Atlanta, also in straight sets. The scores in singles were 6-3, 6-1. 6-4, and doubles ca. 60, 7-5.
 The play was decisive in both matches after the first set How ever in the doubles Hess and Hall man threatened to stage a rally and won five straight games of the last set before Phelps and Huggens could take game, but the New Orleans stars, by machine-like play, took seven straight games and won the title.
 m the singles the great play of Es- mond Phelps left no doubt in the minds of the spectators after the first set as to who should be the winner. With a preciseness that could not be beaten, he played his shots and never threw d chance away. He selected his strokes well. and de- spite heavy field, played a great game of tennis.
 Brooks put up a good fight but could not stand up to the fast and accurate volleys of Phelps. It was hard to judge the balls on account of the soft court, and Philips stated after the match that this made play much harder. Phelps played a great de fensiVe game as well as offensive He was at all times d master of his racquet.
 The large crowd that witnessed the matches saw some great tennis play ing despite the obvous outcome of the battles.
