the festal board at Beaver Dam
to pay honor to its fine trio OF
women golfers, Mrs. Betty Parker
Meckley, District women's cham
pion, Mrs. Alma Won STEINER,
and Mrs. Burton Shipley.
Perhaps the coolest group OF
the golfers in the city are those
participating in the oily bold"
tournament play at Rock Greek.
These fellows, 80 of them. play
before the sun is well up and the
heat gets oppressive. Besides.
their matches are settled over the
nine-hole route. The first round

Brand capturing both low gross
and low net. Mrs Brand had a
medal round of SO and an 8

while Mrs. H. A. Knox, Mrs.
Frank Keefer and Mrs. Middleton
Beaman tied for third with net
scores of 81. Mrs. Ora Emge

of other local pros, AL found
the CatOctin course just to
his liking and turned in an
other winning total score for
the 18 holes of competition.
Play in yesterdays tourney
was a two-ball foursome and
Houghton was paired with Cliff
Spencer, of the Maryland Coun-

in a nobby card of 73 for their
two trips around the sporty nine
hole course.

BERG MAY MEET SINGER

NEW YORK, July 22.-Jack
kid Berg, of England. and Al
Singer, new lightweight cham.

today for a meeting here August

The Washington times., 1930-07-22

very True, but on the SanuIOTa
many pitchers do not understand
the complete details of fielding
their positions, hence all the trou-
BILE they get in at times.
Fielding to the pitcher is more
than backing up plays behind
third base, handling bunts or
cutting off throws at the. right
moment. That is it should be,
but most times it isn't.
The Washington times., 1930-07-22

Careful constructive thought
on what is going to happen
next is the chief thing. And
when a hurIer learns that,
he should be able to handle
himself very well because Of
the help all that knowledge
is going to give him.
A case came to attention re
Gently. A team was in the midst
of batting rally, SOS. sign
was given for a relief pitcher.
The relief man came into the
box. First he asked how many
were out. There were none. Then
he looked over the situation and
found men on first and third.
He went over to the third
baseman and held little confer
ence. He figured a bunt was
the next thing to happen because
the runners would be advanced
that far with any kind of a hit
scoring them both. He told the
third baseman not to run in for
the bunt, that he would field it
and throw to him for the force
out.
The play was begun. The
batter bunted. The pitcher
handled the ball himself,
swung around and threw to
the waiting third baSeman
and the put out was made.
This hurler figured all this
out. In other words, he fielded
his position not only by actual
handling of the ball but by con-
structive thought of what was
going to happen next, and what
was the best course to follow.
OF course backing up third base
on an extra base hit, fielding
bunts, or cutting off throws, etc,
is a part of the pitchers work
in making him a real pitcher
But to think as well as field is
the thing which makes him COM
pletely successful.
Lots Of times he gets
crossed up in his figuring of
plays. But when he does it's
not his fault nor anyone elSe's
but the batter'S cleverneSs in
Out-dOping him.
When a pitcher has a head on
him it's really interesting to
watch him work. He not only
looks like a pitcher, but is a
pitcher and his antics on the
mound help pep up the game and
give the fans something to chin
about during the unfolding of the
various plays.

When the Detroit Tigers asked
waivers on Burly Bob Fothergill
recently, Griff was the first to
put in a claim. But because the
Chicago White Sox, club stand
ing lower in the American League
race, had the same idea. he
flunked out.
Dave Harris, slugging right
hand gardener who has filled in
for Manush during the latter's
absence, connects for distance
when he does hit. But, played
regularly, he apparently is not SO
good as when used as a reserve
man or pinch hitter.
Then there's George Loepp. the
eX-Baltimore Oriole. AS an alter
nate for Sam West while oppoS-
ing left-handed pitching earlier
in the season Loepp did we'll.
But, on the whole, he falls short
Of the big league standard in at
least two departments.
George lacks power at the bat
and he is, it also seems, lost on
the baseS-at least, that's a belief
voiced in several quarters.
This does not mean that Loepp
is bad ball player. On the other
hand, this writer considers him a
pretty good one-much better
than he is cracked up to be. But,
with a club of this kind, it is
doubtful if he fits into the out
field as Snugly as he might.
A player of the FOthergill
type, who could step into the
lineup for 10 days or two
weeks and whale the ball,
while playing a fair defensive
game, might temporarily
atone for even such a valuable
cog as ManuSh. And, with a
pennant at stake, such u
player would go far toward
promoting his teams an
tereSts.
Whether there are any more
SUCH prizes hanging around TIE
waiver market is doubtful. But If
one presents himself, depend upon
Clark Griffith to do everything he
can to make connections.
Several weeks ago it was learned
that the Washington club had de
signs on Infielder Sam Hale, OF
the st. Louis Browns, who was
placed on the waiver market
Then the Brownies withdrew
waivers. Today Hale is playing
third base regularly for the st
Louis club, and there now seems
little chance of getting him.

Will Close
Tonight
Deyine Plans to Reopen
Indiana Roof in the
Fall.

THE Indiana Roof ballroom will
4 close tonight, according to an
announcement coming from the Of
flee of Tom Devine, the ballroom
manager.
Devine's announcement states the
sudden decision to close the ball
room instead of continuing with the
summer policy Of operating four
nights as announced earlier in the
season is due to the fact that the
management is changing its sched-
ule for the fall opening.
Although a definite date has not
been set for the opening, Devine in
dictated that it would be much ear
lier than usual.
Tonight's dance will assume the
aspect of Farewell party The
usual Saturday night Mardi Gras
program will be carried out. There
will be balloon and serpentine
shower and noisemakers and other
mirth- provokers will be distributed
to the dancers for their enjoyment.
Alvin Wall and His Club Bagdad
orchestra, the creole unit featured
in the ballroom for the past four
weeks, will fill program of request
numbers. Members of the orchestra
will entertain with novelty spe-
cialtieS.

tras and novelty entertainment

nance of a new law of love and in
which ChriSt's standard of great
ness becomes the standard and
ideal for the individual follower of
the Master.
The portrayal of Christ as king
emphasizes the inwardness and
power of His rule over the lives of
those who would give themselves to
Him in love and service, and from
this conception of the Christ life we
have turned in our study to its ap-
plication in the realm of good citi-
zenShip and ii, practical experience
in the life of today.
The lessons of Christian pre-
parednesS and of faithfulneSS in
the stewardship of life have been
emphasized in parallels In the
closing lessons of the quarter we
have come to the tragic experiences
of GethSemane and Calvary which
bring us not only into the holy of
holes, but into that realm where
We are face to face with the SUI
preme salvation that Jesus has
brought to men through His suffer-
ing and death.
1t is fitting that such a series of
lessons have ended in a study of
our own obligation and in what
constitutes the glory of the Chris
tan religion; namely, the fact that
man is made at one with God in
Gods purpose of redemption, and
in the proclamation and living of
the Gospel in accordance with the
great commission of the Master his
presence and his power are forever
assured.
The magnitude and sweep of such
lessons as these ought to bring into
our lives touch of the sublime.
The lowliest Christian may live
through Christ in a world of glory
with the horizon of his life as broad
as the universe and the height of
his aspiration reaching to the very
throne of God.
The devotional reading for the re-
view lesson is we'll chosen. 1t is
a gem of Old Testament prophecy
that expresses the eagerneSs with
which devout souls had for ages
aspired to the things of which these
lessons are the fulflment.
AS the prophet looked out upon
a world of unrealized visions, so
may not we in our age take heart?
Christian progress is slow. but ideals
come to realities and seeds of truth
and love do come to fruition.

Green Pastures Becomes Popular

TFHE GREEN PASTURES" the

Never has a play been more gen.

short time. Its widespread popu-

To begin with, the dramatic
critics following the opening of the
play wed with each other in SUI

joyous enthusiastic praise.
Editorial writers were not far be-

and many of the leading papers
throughout the country carried

"HE title of this lesson is apt and
4 comprehensive in summing up
the significance of the thirteen les
sons. including this one, which
have constituted the study Of the
past quarter.
These studies began with the
later stage in the life and ministry
of Jesus, when the law of the cross
was becoming emphasized in his
teaching. and the shadow of the
cross was beginning to fall very
directly upon his earthly way. In
these lessons the tenderness and
beauty of the Christ life are strong
" emphasized. In our second les
son we have the picture of Jesus
rebuking those vino would dismiss
the little children, and taking these
little ones up in his arms and bless
ing them, reminding his disciples
that if such is the Kingdom of
Heaven. The third lesson of the
quarter broke in upon the con-
tinuity of the lessons to provide for
Easter Sunday-a lesson on the
reality of the Resurrection, but this
IN a sense mas been the supreme
theme of all the quarters lessons.
The lessons fortunately have en-
