ZBYSZE0 QUITS
HOSPITAL FOR
STREET
Walking Around on Cane, He
Declares He Has Not
Quit Game

ST. LOUIS, June L. Stanislaus
zbyszko, the elderly but well-pre-
served mat strategist Of whom ply
sicians despaired after his title
bout Saturday and Of whom friends
foresaw the coming twilight Of an
enviable career, was out Of the City
Hospital today, sprightly for his age
and looking for more punishment.
Stanislaus made one OF the aInaz-
ingIy rapid recoveries that frequent
ly beset the athlete. Unconscious,
blood streaming from his ears and
nose, that was Zbyszko after Joe
Stecher had annexed the title.
Physicians talked In whispers
and things looked black. But today
was another day for the aged Pole
and with the aid Of a cane he
sailed forth to personally refute
any silly ideas abroad that he was
at last bowling to "O1d age"
can't help getting old, but I'm not
old enough to quit. In fact, I'm
just old enough to know better,
he said.
Zbyszko sustained contusions of
the chest, dislocated shoulder and
minor internal injuries that at first
his doctors said today but added
that libby would probably get In
action shortly.
Stecher was taking his new role
calmly. Tive been champion be-
fore, and I'm going to keep il this
time. All I want is crack at

Golf has more etiquette than an
elephant has hide. Fact Of the mat
ter Is, golf is almost wholly Ell
quette. Failure to observe the many
rules and regulations strictly makes
the game a mess pot. and therein
lies a tale.
II was in the Town and Country
Club tournament match play lnat
q caddie, overly Jealous to see ms
nan win, picked q ball out OF q
ditch on the sixth fatrWay, ana re-
placed the ball on the f1jrway. The
hole was played out, with the hole
nalved, but before the pair moved
off to the next tee, another caddie
reported the incident. The player
whose caddie had picked the bal
out of the ditch Immediately gave
his opponent the hole, end then re-
norted the incident to the club off,
ciaIs. The caddie has been barred
from the course.
One Of the most brilliant of the
Younger corps Of golfers was stand
ing on the first tee ready for his
first round OF match play. An un-
thinking youngster chided him
about his qualifying score, insinu-
ating, in a jesting manner, that ne
lad cheated. The remark so upset
the golfer that he fell an easy VIC
tim to a man he should nave
beaten.
Still anotT1er case was when ..
player deliberately walked across
the line Of play when golfer was
trving to get a chip shot to the
pin. The result was badly botched
I'M shot, and the walker was sound
", though verbally, ashed.
There is no finer q practice
driving fairway in the city than
at East Potomac Park. Yet the
number Of divOts that have been
dug there and not replaced Is
astonishing. Public links players
use the practice grounds free OF
charge, and some OF them are
running It..
officials lat East Potomac Park
reported last week that they oe-
tected a man driving off a putting
green with mashie. lie nao
Sliced his ball on to the wrong
green, ana 1I1SLSdd Va nuns OAAs AS
had used a mashie and dug divot
That divot will cause many a
whole hearted curse.
Driving into the players ahead,
tying up the players behind on
short hole; failure to signal matches
to come through when ball is
lost; teeing up in the rough, and
innumerable other unethical habits
are the bane Of golfers who obey
the rules.
Blue Monday holds nothing of In
terest. The courses are almost de-
serted, and the pros seize the
chance to play some.
Congressional Club women will
hold a match play against par

fit of the green's committee fund.

The Washington times., 1925-06-01

Both the Griffmen and the
Yankees, in different ways, are
proving the soundness Of Mr.. NC
Graw's philosophy.
To date, the Yankees reserve has
been unable to repair to really
helpful extent the great breach in
the former champions front line
made by the loss of Babe Ruth.
It seems that with Babe Ruth $
shoes only half filled the Yankees
would be far better off than they
are now, struggling to keep out of
the cellar. Their rank in the Amer
lean League pennant race indicates
the power OF their reserves.
1t may be fitting to mention at
the same time that the Yankees
humiliating position is proof Of the
greatness OF Babe Ruth. the great
ness that some of his team mates
at one time would have denied him.
It is not forgotten that several
Of Colonel Ruppert's star en-
plOyes Of Yankee championship
days said, in these words, or to
their effect: "Where do we come
in? Anybody might think that
Ruth Is the whole show judging
by the attention he GETS"
And, in truth, 1t has begun to
appear that the big shot is quite
the works with the Yankees and the
others merely extras. With him in
there they were champions or run
H~S- -
they are plodders.
The Yankees, it seems. are mark
ing time until the Babe is able to
play. And Gotham is doing the
same. There is a general feeling
here that all will be we'll with the
Yankees when he comes back, that
his mighty sock and fighting spirit
will inspire the ragged Hugginites
to further effort:
Until then, well-Broadway' di-
versions are many. In a baseball
way it has the Giants and Dodgers.
The loss of one player crippled
the Yankees. 1t remains to be seen
that such a misfortune could befall
the Griffmen. Their pitching staff
tends to bear out Mr.. McGraw's
argument from an affirmative
angle. 1t is an interesting fact that
the Griffmen, among the foremost
pennant-chasers, have only two
pitchers who have been able to
pitch nine innings at a stretch and
win consistently. They are Walter
Johnson and Walter Ruether. John
son has started nine games and
completed six. He is credited with
seven victories and two defeats.
RAIIther has started ~ovav,
games and finished five. His rec.
ord shows four wins and two
losses. MOgridge, COveIeskie and
Zachary, the other regulars, have
been hammered from the hill al
most every time they started.
Mogridge has pitched only two
complete games and six starts
Zachary only two in eight. Mo
gridge is given two victories in the
record and four defeats while Zach.
ary is two games to the good
against three losses.
Coveleskie's record is distinctly
unusual. This veteran righthander
has started eight times. He has
completed only three games, yet his
record shows four victories and a
single defeat
The Griffmen's secondary pitch
ing staff has delivered the goods.
Marberry, Russell, Old Man Gregg
and the kid, Kelly, have come
through time and again to stop tha
enemy's rush or hold the foe in
check after the Winning margin
had been obtained.
In more than half their games
the Griffmen have used two or
more pitchers.

Frank Dane, director or athletics,
is>busily engaged in completing the
program for Thursday nights en-
tertainment. He wants TO have
several boxing exhibitions between
speedy lads, in oroer to show the
members of the club the remarkable
speed of Young Stribling. Usually,
when heavies are booked. little
fellows are kept off the program
lest their natural speed be offered
in contrast to the big fellows.
Whenever StribIing is boxing,
however, the little fellows, fly
weights, bantams and feathers, are
all welcome. StribIing is quite as
fast on his feet and with his
hands as any of the midgets.
-''I shall have the complete
card ready for announcement by

a petition in the District Supreme
Court to enjoin A. H. Wolter, T. T.
Buckley and w. A. Dixon, mem
bers of the trial board Of the Fire
Department and the District Com
missioner from proceeding with a
hearing on an alleged complaint
made against him by Morris Wolf,

E. Russell Kelly says that he was
of Morris Wolf and that when the
case was called in Police Court
where he pleaded not guilty, he
was placed under bond for trial
by jury scheduled for May 81.
The fireman states that the
charges preferred against him be-
fore the Fire Department are iden-
teal with those lodged in the Police
Court, and he claims that II COM
PEELED to testify before the trial it
would be to incriminate himself
and might prejudice his trial before
the jury.
Spriggs also asks that the Fire

missioners be enjoined from ap-
pointing other persons to act on
the trial board. Justice Hitz issued
an order requiring the officials to
show cause May why they should
not be enjoined from proceeding
with the scheduled hearing.

Auctioneers Dispose of His
toric Articles at Prices Only
1.-THE of Value

The famous old Ebbit Hotel at
tracted many professional buyers
today when its furnishings and
equipment were placed on sale to
the highest bidder.
And as the words of the auc-
tioneer resounded down the empty
Railways, Augustus Gumpert, for
years its manager, wandered aim
lessly through the rooms which
have so long been his pride.
Everything To Be Sold.
The public auction began today
and will continue throughout the
week until everything is sold. 1t
Is being conducted by Adam A.
Weschler & Son.
Beginning with the little rooms
on the sixth floor the auctioneers
are working down.
Furnishings in the sixth floor
were sold early today, and sale of
the fifth floor furniture Is expected
to be completed before night.
Tomorrow afternoon, or possibly
Thursday. the &uctioneers will
reach the historic President McKin-
ley suite, where the Spanish War
President and many of his admin
istration stayed.
The Mckinley suite was also the
stopping place for Chief Justice
Taft, General Custer, General Win
field Scott Hancock, General VIII
lam Tecumseh Sherman and Ad-
mirals Farragut and Porter during
It's long career.
Much interest is manifest as to
what the furnishings in the Presi'
Dental suite will bring at public
auction.
The furnishings have remained
untouched, since they had their
most distinguished guest.
Low Prices Ruling.
Today's buying was slow at the
beginning. Little interest was
shown in the bidding and as re-
suit some unusual bargains were
made. Beds, mattresses, pillows,
chiffoniers and chairs comprised
most of the material sold.
The fine old beds were selling
for small fractions of their replace.
ment value being practically thrown
In with the mattresses. Most OF
the sales prices were way under
IS, and many things went for a
single dollar.
The sale of thirty-one iron cots
in good condition for so cents a
piece, is typical Of the general run
Of sales prices.
