Mead promised to have Britton
make 100 pounds. Barrett prom
ised the same thing for Gin.
At Z o'clock Britton weighed in
at 172 pounds. At the same time
Gill weighed in at 161 pounds.
Each man was above the middle
weight limit agreed upon and was
in the light heavyweight class.
In not having Britton make 100
pounds, Mead fell down.
In refusing to let Gill face the
172-pound Britton, Barrett fell
down in his written promises to
Washington sports writer's. Only
the day previous he had talked
rashly about ellis meeting Brit
ton If he weighed a ton" When
Britton weighed eleven pounds too
much, Gill was not permitted to
enter the ring.
Rather than disappoint the fans
who have stuck Loyalty to the Bar
racks shows, Matchmaker Mann
induced Turner to face Gill. Thus
it came about that Turner proved
a goat for Mead and Barrett.
It is unlikely now that Gill will
get away much longer with that
tale of staying with the 175-pcund
Paul Berlenbach, though weighing
only 151 himself. His action
against Britton kills off that yarn.
1t is unlikely that Britton will
ever get much of a chance here
unless he posts a forfeit high
enough to hurt him and make him
at least approach the stipulated
weight.
Washington got along fairly
well without importing boxers
from out Of town and a return
to such a program wouldn't hurt
much. If such results in the near
future, its. cause may be traced
back to Messrs. Eddie Mead, of
New York, and "Pop" Barrett,
formerly of Baltimore and now
of York, Pa.

Yanks Look Bad.

THE New York Yankees, minus
their greatest offensive force,
Babe Ruth, made a poor i'm
preston upon Washington baseball
fans in the opening game Of the
season. 1t is true that Shocker
was not himself, or at least not
as good as he usually is against
the Griffmen, but the entire morale
of the team seemed shot to pieces.

meaning, "and it's almost useless
to try to throw one by him when
IT'S the one he ought to hit at. !"
This, Of course, inferred that Nehf
knew Of numerous batsmen whom
he'd rather face in a pinch than our
slugging hero.
Nehf's scented bouquet is
brought to mind by the batting
exhibition Of Joe Judge In the
last rout Of the Yankees by the
victOry-grabbing Griffmen. Ur-
ban Shocker, the Yankee spit
baller, perhaps, Is inclined to agree
with Nehf.
Some of the thirty-odd thousand
witnesses will recall that Judge
came to bat in the first inning
with two base-runners watling Tor
q binRIe. Began a duel between
Ghocker, the pitcher who usually
feeds the Griffmen Nout of his paw,
and Judge, the murderous sticker.
Shocker tried all his stuff in an
effort to get the upper hand in
the balls.and-strikes contest. Judge
finally trfunphed. With the count
three and two it was up to the
pitcher to find the plate and take
q chance on fooling Judge or give
him q walk.
Judge walked.
Goslin tripled in the third and
up came Judge again to face a
pinch. Shocker was game this
time. In a twinkling he was two
strikes to the good and hadn't dealt
. ball. This made It possible Tor
shocker to throw three times to
fool Judge with a bad one.
He tried it three times and the
count was three and two.
He attempted to slip by third
strike, and
BlOoie!
Judge slammed q triple against

Later on Judge made a sacrifice

Raw Francis, and finished the day
by getting on through an error.
He made every trip to the plate
count.
Now harken back to the fourth
garne played in New York. The
score was tied and the bases full
when Judge took a confident stance
ut the plate Bob Shawkey, the
Yankee pitcher, bore down hard.
For him it was either to stop Judge
or suffer much.
II memory serves, he had two
strikes on the batter against one
ball when he let loose q wild one
that endangered the very existence

by miraculous agility, rent the air
with torrid language that tended

The latter has q theory that 1t

Dempsey and Kearns have drifted.
In this connection, it Is significant
that Dempsey will talk to Richard

Judge parked it in the right field

These few incidents that tested
the Judgment Of doe Judge on
balls and strikes are selected
because they happen to be Of
particular interest. But time and
again he has proved his batting
skill in striking manner since the
GTiffmen opened the defense OF
their world championship.
Members Of the Washington club
are Of the opinion that Judge is
in for his most successful year.
Since the early days OF spring train
ing he has been meeting the ball
frequently and squarely, besides
handling his fielding work as well
as ever.
In seven games he has gone to
bat officially twenty-one times and
made nine hits for a total, get this,
of twenty bases. He has walloped
two home runs, two triples and 9
double. Several times he has been
passed. If not on purpose, at least
without the semblancA Of a sQuawk
from the pitcher.
It seems, indeed, that Arthur
Nehf was not far wrong, IL not cor
rect, in his estimate Of Joseph
Judge as a pitchers bugaboo.

@7ADIO dabblers and other
Tx experienced fans can't do
I without a series parallel
switch.
A series parallel switch Is one
that is so constructed as to permit
the connection of either Of two
pieces Of apparatus 20 another, or
the switching of positive and
negative connections. between two
electrical circuits.
The simplest form of switching
to which this Is applied is shown
in No. l of the accompanying
sketch.
The series parallel swith, in this
case. is connected so that either
the headset or the loud speaker
may be used with a receiving set.
All 1t needs is twisting from one
to another. The receiver has four
contacts as shown, and there are
two each to headset and loud
speaker. The contacts are made
as sketched.
Saves Batteries
Sketch No. 2 shows useful and
convenient arrangement whereby
the battery current to the re-
ceiver from both A and b bat
teriS may be turned on or off.
The switch controls the current
from both these battries and saves
wasting of current when these are
not in use.
The connections and taps are
made as shown, with the A bat
terry along the line at the left of
the two.
II you happen to have two
aerials, or an, outside areial and
a grounded loop, sketch No. 3
shows how to join these to the set
through a series-parallel switch.
BY this arrangement either one of
the aerails may be chosen. by the
mere turning of the switch.
A variation OF this is shown by
sketch No. 4. Here there is one
aerial and ground, but two re-
ceivers. Thus one or the other
receiver may be switched to the
aerial and ground.
For Testers
Sketch No. shows a conven-
lent arrangement by which the po-
larity OF the. A battery may be
switched. Experimenters will find
this one of the most useful means
OF using either positive or negative
voltage on the filaments, at will.
The last sketch is useful to
every fan. 1t shows how to ar
range the switching points SO that
