the managerial finger cannot be
placed very close to the seat
of such trouble. but in the case
of Bush no plausible answer
has been forthcoming. He has
no sore arm, he feels well for
the most part, his spirit has
held up wonderfully well COM
sidering his reverses.
He has the same speed, con-
troll and change of pace that
gave him 26 victories and Z de-
feats in New York in 1922; 10.
wins and is losses in 1928 and
a 1915 break in 1924, yet, with
this season third spent, he
has victory and 2 defeats
charged against him.
A year ago for st. Louis he
won IA and lost the same num-
Der of games. If you can guess
the answer to those figures and
reconcile it to the fact that Joe
has no physical ailments outside
Of "a years hanging on his
shoulders, then you hold q secret
which half-million Washington
rooters would like to be let in
upon.
In the meantime the brightest
ember of hope observable on the
horizon is the fact that Bob
Reeves look as though he might
develop into a regular fully one
season before Harris had had
any hopes of making chronic use
of him. Either in determination
or desperation, Bucky has found
an infield combination on the
left-hand side of the diamond
which worked effectively once,
and that fact alone should take
some Of his mind off his pitch
ing troubles.

Capt. Robert C. Van Vliet is the

engraved on the handsome Sheri-

Army tennis singles champion. The
captain vanquished Col. Waite c..

the Columbia Country Club courts,

Colonel Johnson was able to take
only five games in the three sets,
and the winner went away from

fitness to hold the tronhy.

OF all the failures now within
the ranks Of the Washington
Griffmen's pitching staff, the
case Of joe Bush is probably the
hardest to understand, If in
deed there is any reason for it
at all.
Bullet Joe's case is actually
sad. 1t is really pitiful the
start he has taken for himself
in q pitching way since he
joined the local forces out of
the ranks Of the st. Louis
Browns and it would take a
diagnostician to explain to a
wondering fandom just where
the trouble lies. Joe cant tell
you why he doesn't win ball
games and we have yet to see
anyone who can.
The ex-Yankee and ex-Brownie
looks to have everything in the
world that q pitcher needs to
turn back the average big
league batter. We have seen
learned baseball men sit in the
local park and try unsuccess-
fully to pick flaws in his de,
livery, his stance, his all-around
pitching presence and the va
riety Of stuff he shoots over.
The opinion is general that
Bush is a good pitcher, has no
faults to correct and no de-
partments OF his work that need
Tightening up; yet the figures
show that the only team he has
been able to fool this year is
the club that traded him along
with Johnny Tobin for Tom
Zachary and Win Ballou-St.
Louis.
It is unusual in baseball that

taking fun advantage of the net.
She constantly drew Miss Browne

Suzanne won the sixth game
