Injured Leg
Examined

E. Garland Braxton, star south
paw pitcher of the Washington
Griffnen. today will report to the
club physician for a thorough exami-
nation of his injured left leg which
was struck by a line drive in e game
at the Griffith Stadium recently.
Opposed to the Boston Red Sox,
the Southerner absorbed the full
force of the blow but gamely con-
tinued to the finish. 1t is feared
that a ruptured blood vessel has re-

Braxton has carried on s,Gc4 but

GR|FFMEN HOME
FOR LONG STAY
By Bob Thayer

Checking into. Union Station early
this morning the Washington Griff-
men today are resting following a
long road. grind of almost two
months duration.
Punctuated by abbreviated home
stands, these travels are now prac-
tically at an end. Other than for
two more games with the Phila-
delphia Athletics at Shibe Park
October 1-2, the Griffs are sched-
uled to play their remaining Amer.
lean League battles on the home lot.
Strange to say Walter Johnson's
sharpshooters have shown more on
the road than at the Georgia
Avenue Stadium this season. With
their pitching staff REINFORCED by
the recovery of two casualties. how
ever, they figure to improve their
record before the home-towners.
Ad Lisl1a and Lloyd Brown,
two youthful singers, are ready
to work once more after pro-
tracted absences due to Illness
and injury. When it is cOnsid-
cred that Sam jones, too, is In

greater part Of the year, it can
be seen that Manager johnson
has every right to be optimistic
regarding his teams finish.

other tomorrow, will afford the
Capitals campaigners ample oppor-
tunity to recover from their recent
seige OF doublc-headers before open

OCEAN CITY, N. j., Sept. 5.
Every indication here at the
seaside points to a formidable
football team at Georgetown
this fall. For the first time
that this writer recalls since
Coach Lou Little took charge at
the Hilltop in 1924, that mentor
admits Georgetown's chances of
giving its opponents plenty of
trouble are of the brightest.
Considering eorget WINS
tough schedule, that is quite an
admission. Nevertheless, Little
is more optimistic than he was
ever before known to be at this
stage of a campaign, and his
cheerful attitude is the talk Of
the camp.
Apparently Little's sanguine
viewpoint is shared by that ilk
known as the exporting frater-
nifty. made up largely of the
out-of-town newspaper men who
have travelled far to make Ocean
City a point of call in their
rounds of inspection of impor-
tant football centers.
Two New York newspapers
have men in camp today, and
three Philadelphia scribes were
on hand yesterday morning
when practice opened with the
candidates still in their gym
nasium suits and before regular
football regalia had been handed
out. A nationwide syndicate
has also had an observer here
and yet another is to come
Friday.
Five Photographic syndicates
also have had their representa-
tives at the spacious municipal
stadium where Georgetown is
going through it's intensive pre-
season training, both sound and
noiseless moving picture con-
Germs being represented in the
group.
These and other symptoms
proved the Importance attached
to Georgetown's approaching
campaign by interests outside
of Washington. AS Lou Little
remarked to Robert Radford,
manager Of the Southern Hotel
where the Blue and Gray eleven
is housed, this morning, "There
are darn near as many news
paper people in camp as there
are football players" There are
three major football teams now
quartered within a stones throw
of each other along the New
Jersey Atlantic coast.
Temple University has bivou-
acked at Bader Field, Atlantic
City, just ten miles away via
the new Long Port Bridge, and
the University of Pennsylvania
is ensconced at Cape May, a
bare 20 miles to the south on
the tip end Of New Jersey.
Scrimmage will be started
with Temple possibly as soon
as next Saturday afternoon, and
it is not an entire remote pos
sibility that Pennsylvania will
be invited to bring a team to
municipal stadium for scrim.
mage before the present en-.
campment is broken.
The Georgetown head gears
for 1929 will be of battleshir
gray, a waterproof coating OF
that color having been applied
over the leather exterior. And
some of those linemen suggest
battleships, too.

There's usually a lot of trade

Washington leader commented
while delving into this subject
last night, this winter. though,
believe there's going to be
some actual swapping.
"For one thing there's talk Of the
Yankees breaking up their old ma
chine. And If this goes through,
as it seems it will, there'll be plenty
of bidders ready to drive a bargain.
Some members who have been
playing only fair ball with the
Yankees this year probably would
get going again in a new setting.
And there's no doubt but what
most Of them will land somewhere. "
Walter refuses to speculate on the
probable acquisition of any of this
talent by the Griffmen. The time

such matters.

Tolley has played by long odds
his best golf in America in this
championship and his decisions over
Eddie Held and Fay Coleman were
so conclusive that neither match
survived the twelfth green. The
same kind of golf might or might
not beat Willing today, the doctor
being one of those fellows who can
be licked but very often isn't. He
is master fighter and Mr.. Tolley
might as well make up his mind
that fight impends.
If he doesn't, he will only have
to do it after the match starts. by
which time it may be several mo
ments too late.
The No. . match of the day,
both in point of importance and
chronological order will be the
Sweetser. .Egan meeting. Egan won
his last national championship in
1905. but he still is all golfer and
all man and the populace is for
him today, tomorrow and always.
incidentally, he is playing the
course he remodeled for this cham
pionship and playing it so well
that one of his victims yesterday
was George Won Elm, winner over
Jones himself in 1925.
Sweetser, another great competi-
tor. is making his first attempt at
serious tournament play since he
won the British title three years
ago. So far, 1t has been more than
an attempt; it has been a definite
reality. And at the 36-hole dis
tance. he should have q mite too
much youth for an old forty-niner
like Egan.
Equally attractive is the
VOight-JOhnStOn match bringing
together the 1928 medaIist and
semi.finalist and the Viking Of
the mfddle-west, the lOng-hitt1ng
Johnston, star Of national
tournament play for eight years.
You can toss a twO.headed coin
on this one and still be wrong.
There Is nothing the matter
either with a match involving
Ouimet, the original hero of Amer
ican golf, with Little, the man who
beat the man who beat Jones.
Which brings US back to where
We started from, namely, that g
third round Of a national champion
ship must be held without Jones
and, somehow, in spite of every
thing, the prospect is not alto
gether tolerable. 1t just doesnr
seem right.

person of wealth and affluence, has

some interesting price comparisons.
