However, that was last year.
This spring Lee Foil has a ball
club that wants to win. 1t is adj
mitted that it hasn't had much
luck thus far, but the players are
still trying. The Griffmen will
hardly have a soft time, especially
with Bob Veach, Ira Flagstead,
Ike Boone and Joe Harris coming
to bat. That quartet can sure hit
the pill.
The worst trouble with the Red
Sox is its pitching staff. Aside
from Howard Ehmke and Alex
Ferguson, it hasn't any pitching
staff to chortle about, and Ehmke
is not yet in condition to do his
best work.
Boston fans, accustomed to win
ring teams, are grieved at heart
over the poor showing Of the Red
Sox and Braves. It is quite
within reason to expect small
crowds here for the three games
to be played by the World Cham
pion Griffmen, popular as the
Washington club is. Boston loves
q winner-which certainly is no
crime.
Bucky Harris says he will try
for q clean sweep here, winning
all three games in this series.
Here's hoping he gets his wish.

here last year know all about 1t.
Through the Community Center

Thursday evening from 6-8 o'clock,
If it rains we will use the gym, all
other evenings we will do our
/ exercising outside IN the stadium.
Now, here's the "how come" OF
it This project which is called
The Times Athletic Club, is simply
an opportunity-not an organiza-
ton. Any woman or girl who like
to come up and take advantage of
an opportunity to have a lot Of
fun, to train for coming track
meets, to take off a little-or a
lot-of extra avoirdupois, to meet
interesting, wide-awake. poppy hu-
mans, and to build up strong
healthy bodies, may do so without
mourning one cent Of expense or
undergoing one yard OF red tape
The Times simply wants to make
it possible for Washington girls 20
enjoy life a little more fully, and
I'll say again for the meek ones
that you all are mighty welcome.
There will be director in charge
of the activities during the two
hours, and there will also be a
chaperon lowering near.
What to wear? You may change
IN the dressing room, and boomers
and middies or track suits with
tennis shoes or track shoes are just
the thing. BY the way, those
caring to may bring hefty
Turkish towel to apply in the best
known way after the practice is
over.
Well. girls, rest up Wednesday

PIansky q Hero.

WAIT till Tony Plansky comes
w home to South Boston. The
Polanders over there are planning
big doings for that day.
Plansky, representing George
town University, won the decath-
Ion, which is the intercollegiate
all around championship, and
Philadelphia last Friday and Bos-
ton was quick to recognize his
triumph. South Boston, once
the home of the Irish and now
the home of the Polanders, came
through with . gladstone celebra-
ton. but the real works is being
held for the return Of Tony
Plansky.
Plansky graduated from South
Boston high school. He was a
football and track star up here.
He won the junior all-around
championship before going to
Georgetown. His, triumph at
Philadelphia last week was a
mere continuation of his earlier
victories.
At Georgetown Plansky has
never yet done much at football,
though it is admitted that he is
a good backfield player and an
excellent kicker. But it is on the
track that he shines most and
Bostonians are ready to give him
due reward.
