: Kirk Miller

In baseball, as in many other
things, one must gamble-that
is to say, one must take a
cha-lce. Unusual stra ;egy APP
pears quite mystifying if one
gets away with it, and it ap-
pears just as stupid when one
fails.
Consider the seventh games Of
the last two world series and
what a bearing the manipulation
of the pitchers had on the out
come. We have been consider
ing those games a very great
deal in our day dreams lately,
because of letter which was
waiting in this office for US on
our return from the 1926 clos
ing game in New York. We
want to answer that letter now,
a. we think that something of
q solution for it has presented
itself.
The writer of the letter wrote
not Of the 1926 series, but re-
marked that the playing of the
1926 series had prompted him
to ask a question as to why
Bucky Harris left the last game
Of the 1926 series in Pittsburgh
in the hands Of Walter Johnson.
Oddly enough this particular
correspondent does not put his
question to US until the 1926
scries is closed, and it has re-
Gently occurred to us that the
seventh game of the 1926 series,
in a way, answers the question
better than Bucky Harris or
anybody else could.
It was the seventh game; it
was therefore a verv vital game;
as little gambling with it as
possible ought to be done, par
ticularly in view of the fact
that it was raining. Remember,
vase, that Bucky didn't have
to save anybody for tomorrow"
or the "next day" or next"
He thought that game, ought
to be left in the hands of the
Titcher who had the greatest
amount of baseball effectiveness
an experience behind him. On
his whole staff, none was such
a master in a crucial game
Walter had proved that in the
memorable finale of the Giant
Griff series in 1924. So Bucky
abided by his judgment and lost.
IN the last world series,
Rogers Hornsby was faced with
a similar but not an identical
decision 20 make. Il was late In
the seventh game; the crisis had
been reached: q real herman

ARCADIANS
VN;T()RS

BY GERRY" Martin

The members Of the Capitol A. C,
team bowed low to the Arcadians
last night when the later aggrega.
ton bested them, 37-S. At the end
of the first half. which was played
under girls rules. the score was
ia in favor of the Arcadians With
the close Of the second half, which
was played under boys rules. the
score was 37-S, with the Capitols
again on the short end OF the score.
The Arcadians. contrary to ex-
pectations. played a pretty game un-
der the tire division rulings. fouling
less than their opponents. The .fea.
ture of the sextets' tilt was the ex,
ceIlent combination Of Leah Shofnos
and Lucille Lirnbach, guards on the
winning aggregation.
The Capitol forwards are good
shots at the basket, hut through
the work Of the ShOfnOs. Linn
bach duet, they seldom had
their hands on the ball. The
only points scored by the G. A.
C. I'm the first half were four
sAets by Marie SlebOld from the
freedom line.
= In the first few minutes Of play
Of the third quarter the quintets
looked evenly matched. Julia Aman
started off by shooting from mid
floor, the only field goal scored by
the Capitols during the evening, to
match that Of Charlotte Hatton's.
Julia then collected 2 points on
foul shots and the Capito1s then
called their score raising quits. With
the beginning OF the last quarter the
Capitols slipped back and their op-,
ponents continued to score. The.
final whistle found Capitols showed
under and the Arcadian score l6i
points plus. IT, Z

He STARS
BY r. D. Thomas

The Mohawks slowed away their
football toys today well content.
They. for the nth time. own the
Independent championship, their
final challenger, the Waverly Club,
having falIen.s9 to o.. in tough
battle on the snow covered field Of
Griffith Stadium.
But for the skill and gameness OF
one player. however. the title might
be still disputed. Shorty O'Connell
broke the Waverly back with a
field goal in the final period and
made It easy for the. Mohawks to
score touchdown that clinched the
victory and made it decisive.
O'COnnelI, nursing a fractured
collar bone, was inserted into.
the battle ut dramatic moment.
Throughout the first half he
watched from the sideIiIies,
dressed In street clothes and
with no thought Of taking part
In the game.
Between the halves he was or.
dered by DIR. Jack Hegarty, the
Mohawk coach, to don war regalia
merely with the prospect thai he
could kick field goal ana decide
the issue in game that gave little
promise Of a touchdown.
OCOnnelPs chance came early in
the fourth quarter, after Abbatichio
and Degassis, line.plunging terrors,
had torn their way through the
Waverly wall In an advance OF
about so yards that started In the
previous period.
While hammering away to over.
come a staunch Waverly defense
five yards from touchdown tho
Mohawks fumbled and recovered Oh
their foes 10.yard line. An end run
failed and then the Indians placed
their hope Of victory IN O'Connell.
This worthy was In the con.
test for about 80 seconds, Just
long enough to stand calmly ON
the 25.yard line while all others
were excited and with cool caIcu.
latiOn drOpkick a perfect field
goal from q difficult angle.
With hope Of victory cracked,
1t was a broken WaVerly team that
resumed play after O'Connell had
performed, and the Mohawks with
Abbatichio and Degassis again hit
ting it up, scored a touchdown,
Abbatichio particularly distinguish.
ing himself. He made the final
plunge.
It was a hard fight but the Mo.
hawks left no doubt Of their
superiority. 7

WANTS AVENUE
OF JAPANESE
CHERRY TREES
Would Make George Washing
ton Highway Scenic Wonder
of Atlantic Seaboard

An avenue of cherry trees
more than twenty miles in
length along the route Of the
George Washington Highway
from Deep Creek, Va. to South
Mills, n. G., and possibly from
South Mills to Elizabeth City,
is the latest dream Of Dick
job, secretary Of the Elizabeth
City Chamber Of Commerce.
And being an EnSliShman and a
Chamber of Commerce Secretary All
at the same time. he is douhly Scri-
Ous about II. The Virginia
highway between Elizabeth City
and Portsmouth, via the Dismal
Swamp Canal has been named the
George Washington Highway in
honor of the Father OF Our Country
and the original surveyor of the
Dismal Swamp Canal. Visions of
cherry trees instantly occur to one
in connection with the name of
Washington. since it was Il cherry
tree which the mythOlOgiSt$ tell us
Little George laid low with his
little hatchct.
And now it leaks out why George
chopped down that cherry tree. 1t
waS not a regular fruit bearing
cherry tree so dear to the heart Of
gormandiZing bOyhood. hut just one
Of those ornamental Japanese cherry
trees that bear blossoms profuScly
but Yield no fruit. That's tn" kind
OF cherry tree Secretary Job wants
to see planted in rows up and down
the route Of the George Washington
Highway: making it the most
romantic. the most cOlorful and the
most talked about piece "f scenic
beauty on the whole Atlantic Coast
al Highway.
Mr.. job has already had Count!
Agent G. W. Falls write to the T..
S. Bureau of Forestry at Washing
ton to find out the probable cost of
the project and whether the Japa-
neSe cherry tree will thrive rs well
on the black lands of the Dismal
Swamp country aS they do on the
red clay soil around Washington.
Secretary job thinks the Federal
government itself will fall hard Tor
the idea of setting up an avenue of
cherry trees in cOmmemoration of
the immortal Washington, but what
he is thinking about first of all is
the attraction OF such scenic high
way for thousands Of tourists in the
early summer months when the mil
