Washington Defeats
Baltimore Pro Five

Washington, by virtue Of its S6-to-
"a victory over Baltimore, is only
half a game behind Fort Wayne in
the battle for second place. The
Orioles were rather soft victims
once the Palace team got down to
business properly. The half ended
the score at 16-alI, some sensational
shooting by Johnny Beckman and
the consistency at the foul line of
Edelstein and Sullivan keeping the
Orioles dangerous. But Palace drew
away in the second half.

Irving Hadley, rookie pitcher
of Lynn, Mass, who joined the
Griffmen from the Birmingham
club, is proving all wool and a
yard wide. And there is every
reason on earth why he should.
Hadley was recommended to the
Washington president by a vol
unteer scout, who is manufac-
turer of wooden goods.
Irving, a right handler, stand
ing 5 #. 101s in, is only %
years of age and is said to have
a speed ball such as Walter
Johnson boosted in his younger
days. He shows more promise
than the average rookie discov-
cred by a properly accredited
scout having mo manufacturing
sidelines.
There seems to be something
of the DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
complex about Mons. JACQUES
Fourier, now first-basing for
the Boston Braves. 1t was only
a few months ago that we heard
he was contemplating quitting
the Brooklyn Robins because he
was too tinlid to stand the razz-
ing he got in Flatbush. Some
thing has happened to that
bashful Canuck in the meantime,
however, because he is alleged
to have socked a deputy sheriff
in the chin down at Sarasota
last week..
A decade ago the Philadelphia
Athletics and Connie Mack had
the reputation of being the
cheapest club in organized base
bali. They never bought any
stars, preferring to develop their
material. All this is changed now,
for Ty Cobb is known to. be get
ting around $4,000 this year,
and besides Connie Mack paid
$685. telegraph toll on a mes
sage to Judge Lands giving the
details of the C 5b- Umpire VIII
son run-in. Even in the regular
season these reports usually go
in by mail, and not air mail at
that!

Albert Cutler, billiard player
and referee of the 1872 worlds
championship match which Well
cker Cochran won, dropped in to
say farewell after three solid
weeks in Washington. Cutler
and Cochran are going into
vaudeville with the new cham
pionship and should do we'll,
we believe. Cutler is the great
est trick shot artist of the
green cloth. He is to billiards
what Joe KirkWood is to golf.
Cochran, in claiming that bill

sciences, declares man cannot

two or three weeks at time.
He declares the best of them

This tightening up, is the
antithesis of the original care

to be blown, and when it takes
possession of a player he might
as well hang up his cue.

In golf it is called pressing

Sally knew that she had though,
this whole thing out and made ur
her mind just what to do.
You mean" she said. that when
you get ready to settle down. you'll
whistle John Nye back to you: but
in the meantime you're going to
have your fling with Davy David

Mile turned back from the door,
and nodded her head 50 that q
bright ripple ran across her SHIN

That's exactly IT," she answered.
I'm wild about Davy now-but

I'm never in love with a man for

I'm all over my case on him. I'll

Davidson couldn't give a girl. He's
all show-off-Davy is. I'll bet he

bank, and never will have"
Sally looked at her with kind Of
admiring horror. It was hard
to believe that behind those baby
blue eyes and under that halo Of
baby-gold hair. there was such a
sharp little brain working like
piece of steel machinery.
"Millie," she said, Weren't you
ever in love with John Nye?" 1t
seemed impossible to her that Mil
lie could have spent so many hours
with him and not fallen hopelessly
in love with him.
But Mile was shaking her head.

and for the same reason. They
were both ''lightweights" and
"cooky-brains." as he often had
remarked.
DO you honestly think you could
make Ted Sloan fall for you Mil

her eye. Because II you do, I
wish you'd try"
Mile nodded. and ran a slender
hand through the fluff OF her hair.

bright head In calm self "a tisfa ction.

with her-and Ted isn't and never

Then another thought struck her.
Perhaps Mile was wrong about

Perhaps he wasn't jealous of David

lately.
