What liz advertised az an OPP

prize awards committee Is COM
posed of J. r. Holcer, Albert r..

An admission charge Of six bits
will be charged, the sandlOtters,
it il announced, to receive a
third Of the proceeds. Just which
sandIOtters are to share the
profit has not been announced.
This IL q point the amusement
company might well make clear.
The sandlotters never have benefit
ted particularly by ''sandlot bene-
fits" In fact, II the venture at
Glen Echo is successful, it will be
unique.
1t seems to require heart interest
for the sandlotters to put over a
benefit, They came through hand
somely for Bill Mcbride, who died
not long ago after a lingering II
ness, and before that for Red Hager
who was beyond aid when the
sandIottefs learned of his plight.

from a great big peeve, the worst
they have had i'm years. Never
the less. Connie Mack still has.
hopes of seeing his team battling
the Yankees, or anybody else,
for first place honOrs.
..The team says Connie. has
been losing largely because GER
tain normal 300 hftters are far
below their stride As result only
Boston has a poorer batting aver
age as a team. / expect my bats
men to improve, and. when they
are in form, our pitching will look
better.
Grove pitched brilliantly in the
West, yet he could not win be-
cause his hitting support was SO
weak. Every time out he was in
a pitching duel, with the other
team nosing him out.
II feel sure that our pitching
staff is the equal of any In the
league. Grove, Gray. Rommel
Walberg, Quinn and Ehmke are
high class performers, with Pate
and Willis excellent relief men. As
soon as the hitting improves they
will look their real worth out there.
The Yankees are enjoying a nice
lead so far, but I wouldn't say they
will have as much Of a lead over
the rest of us when August comes
along.
philadelphia. Cleveland and
Chicago are sure to win b lot OF
games from the Yanks before
then and ] also look for WASH
ingtOn to recover from its pres
emit slump and win more games
than IL has been doing during
the past month.
There is a lot Of good baseball
in that washington team yet, even
IL 1t hasn't been seen lately. /
figure the race hardly warmed up
yet. Anyway, the Yankees still
have q fight on their hands to win
the pennant. They haven't it won
right now"
The TRAVELLING champions ran
right into furious rain storm
here yesterday and Shibe Park was
a. lake. no, q couple of lakes, when
the Griffs arrived from Washing
ton. So. after lettering around a
while they all went down town
where they spent long, dull after
noon. Today they clash twice with
the Mackmen, the first game start
ing at 1870. or 1890 in Washington.
They will be home again tonight.
There viii be no game tomorrow.
but Saturday and Sunday Washing
ton will entertain the Mackmen at
the Griffith Stadium in the last
games there until Friday July 2,
when they open the second long
home stay OF the season.
The Washington times., 1926-06-24

STANLEY Coveleskie Will start the
other game today for Washington.
He pitched good ball all through
the recent Western trip. though
not always a winner. The same.
goes for Walter Johnson. The bat-
ting and fielding slump of the
whole team lost games for those
vesGans.
JSck Quinn and Bob Grove are
expected to do the honors today
for the. As. Quinn is always effec-
tive against the Griffs because he
uses his aead more than his arm.
Grove has yet to win from them
because he uses his arm rather
than his head. 1t is possible that
the champions may split even here
today and then go flying back to
the Capital to rest until the As
appear Saturday in the Griffith
stadium to face Walter Johnson.
Philadelphia fans are grumbling
because the recent fIreeAcOrnered
trade brought 3 fading veteran
pitcher who might have never
have been missed and took away.

The Mackmen are now playing
q cripple in right field, Bug WEIGH
doing his duty with a badly bruised
left hand that bothers his hitting
walter French, the regular right
fielder, is nursing lame ankle,
and the Mackmen are not as
strong as a contender SHOULD be.
Though the AS are making
great fight, they have developed
weaknesses unsupported when the
season opened. Joe Hauser, per-
feet flop at bat, has sheen benched
to let Pool, q poor fielder but
fair sticker, hold down the initial
sack. Except for Lamar and Sim
mons, the batsmen are far below
their 1925 performances and this
Is proving costly.
Because neither Harriss nor Hell
mach could win for the team and
because Howard Ehmke has always
been most effective against the
Mackmen, Connie Mack brought
Ehmke here at the expense OF the
other two and Bing Miller. The
trade. thus far, has not looked well
Tor the As.
Bing Miller, who would fit in very
well mere now, has started in like

The Buck HerZog tang Is or
ganized for one other purpose
that of playing baseball, and
this is the pledge they take
when they join: Il will not at
any time skip school to attend
game; / will attend no game
against the wishes of my
parents; will uphold the prin-
eiples Of clean speech, clean
sports and clean habits and will
stand with the rest of the gang
against cigarettes and profane
language on the field; / will
not engage in unruly conduct
either at games or at any other
time"
It seems to the oversigned
that any boy who takes such a
pledge is not leaving much
worth while behind. Living up
TO such an oath will make
mollycoddles of no one and it
viii make the baseball diamond
and its environments a much
finer atmosphere around which
to spend ones impressionistic
years.
Any boy who observes the
five cardinal principles of the
Buck Herzog Gang will never
grow up to be a rowdy nor an
uncouth man, for neither of
which the higher strata of bust
ness, professional or social
world has much use.
Possibly such gang as the
Buck Herzog Gang could be or
ganized in Washington. Perhaps
a Walter johnson Gang could
be formed. At the moment, we
can't conjure a name that would
be more fitting or deserving Of
leading Washington boys into
the true ways of sportsmanlike
conduct. The reason Walter
johnson is the marvel Of pres
ent-day pitchers is because he
always observed the very tenets
set forth for the Buck Herzog
Gang to follow.
Clean habits. clean sport and
clean speech have ever been
Walters law. If you were to
see him today stretched out
upon the rubber's table where
his muscles are daily massaged
by Mike Martin, Washington's
big medicine man, you would
see the skin of a baby-pink,
soft and of the finest texture.
Exemplary habits have pre-
served the body of a man at
40 to the clearness of child's.
The Walter johnson or the
Buck Herzog or the Babe Ruth
gang" idea should do much
to stimulate the game and keep
good baseball players ,ripening
for the major leagues. 1t seems
so plausible a proposition that
one wonders why organized
baseball doesn't take hold of the
plan, both to guarantee healthy,
genuine interest by encouraging
its stars to lend their names to
gangs in their respective cities
as well as to help guide the
youngsters in the paths that
make for major league berths.
The thought is very fascinat-
ing.
