 "Chere Madame" she translated slowly, will you be so gracious as to accept this slight offering from one who knew and admired your late husband, who fought so gall lantly for my France? We, to whom the war is yet near, shall never fail to treasure the services of those who came to our aid before their own country was ready to do so Also, and in more personal sense, | he, and those like him, Justified ones faith in the responsibility of the well-born.

 A flush spread gradually over Dagger's face as she read. Here was a tribute to Jack she had never dreamed of his deserving, and her sense of justice was outraged that she should have withheld it from him. Her feeling almost of hu- initiation was intensified when the hotel manager, mistaking her evil dence of confusion, murmured sym pathetically:
 Monsieur le Due is one of our great generals, Madame. All of France is proud of him."

 He writes of my husband, Mon sieur, who fought for France"
 The Frenchman bent his supple back
 But all know of Monsieur Va neering, the ace, Madame. He was well-loved. Many times I have had the honor to receive him here" It seemed to Dagger tndI SIle must choke with strangled emo- tion.

 He bowed again understandingly.
 But certainly, Madame. We are determined that you shall be con- tent with us. You have but to speak your wishes"

couldn't offset. Thorn'S SO tota,
and Houghton's were identical
each having 159.
Shorey'S Summarization Of the
tournament is brief and interest
ing. Says he:
"TO begin with, .InterIachen
Is the toughest course / ever
saw. Its narrow fairways, which
are thanked by plenty of natural
hazards such as lakes and
ponds, also has plenty Of other
pitfalls for the unwary shot.
The bunkerS and traps are the
toughest I've ever seen, and I,
for one, wasted enough strokes
In the CavernOus depths Of the
traps to have qualified. And
the rough was heavy clover and
red top, which is plenty tough
to get out Of.
Add to these natural diff
cultieS the unusually hot
weather and you see what we
were up against. Players like
Hagen and others had men
carrying large umbrellas for
them to provide shade from
the sun, while we three just
struggled along as best we
could. All we had was our
handkerchiefs to dry our hands
with and remove the perSpira-
tion. OF course, we didn't have
an unruly gallery to contend
with though.
''From now on East Potomac
will look like a pool table to
me and I'm going to get in
plenty of practice on as many
courses as I can play to get
ready for next years event." he
concluded.

views.

did his derndest but failed. And
all because there was a certain
Norman Hutchison on the slab
for the Printers.
Norman did one other thing
beside pitch a nice game for the
Printers. He hit and hit three
times to lead his team at bat
and individually bring out that
certain punch always somewhere
in the makeup of the Printer
nine.
Interstate could do moth
ing after the Typos scored
thrice in the seventh to take
the lead, although one run
was coined in the eighth.
Hutchinson put on the
brakes, however, and the
threat was over.
Interstate scored twice in the
second inning and once more In
the third to get off to a good
start. The Typos came back,
though, with two runs in the
second and three in the eighth
for the margin.
There has been a great deal of
tension in the Industrial League
lately. all over the Tile Settlers
who lead the league. The Parella.
managed team has kept winning
games but the opposition has
given exceptional fight.
The strain has seemed to be
too great for the opposition, how.
ever, as, in most every instance,
blow-up has occurred in the
late innings, practically handing
the league leaders their victories
Yesterday the Big Print
Shop nine Joined the list of
teams that have fought the
Tile Settlers to the last ditch
and then-bIOoie! all Of q
sudden. The eighth inning saw
the break yesterday. Three
runs were scored by the Tile
Settlers after Claude Simpson
had tied the score in the
seventh for Big Print Shop
with . timely single with
Edinger on base.
Pitcher LaVere Kopp allowed a
man to get on base and then
Licarione swatted a triple, fol
lowed by a single by Cinotti, a
short double by FreSchi, two outs
and then a single by Garilli fol
the three runs. The final score
was S to 2.

weak Holmes Bakery nine. Eddie
started as the third baSeman at
the opening of the season, then
shifted to the mound and finally
behind the bat. He's good at all
the positions which is q boon to
the Holmes Bakery nine which
has been known to need third
baseman, a pitcher and a catcher
at times when those players
failed to put in appearance.
Eddie's chief joy is to bat.
He stands up there and
whirIs his bludgeOn in extra
base fashion. And the OppOs-
ing pitcher most always is
glad when he's disposed OF.
Then comes Tom Foley. He
hasn't been in the league long,
but long enough to attract atten-
ton. He became eligible for the
second half by playing with
Holmes Bakery in their last few
games of the first half.
FOleey Is q pltCleF" anu a ACL =
handler. He and Eddie Edinger
make a good battery pair because
they work together as well. Foley
knows Eddie and Eddie knows
Tom, which makes things JAKE
between them. No arguments or
such when Tom makes q wild
pitch or Eddie drops a third
strike. Complete harmony be-
tween the two.
Foley has a deceptive drop
ball. And a sweeping side
arm delivery. He didn't fool
them at first, but his last two.
starts have been very impres-
sive. If he had any, kind Of
a team behind him he would
be a real winner. AS il is. his
hurting just helps to keep the
score down.

TEAMS CAN

The Union Printers have had
rough travelling this year on the
baseball diamond, especially in
the Government League, but they
still possess that certain punch
which makes them dangerous at
all times.
The Interstate nine can sub
stantiate this fact. Yesterday the
MacDo managed crew fell be-
fore the Typos. 5 to 4, and fell
just at a time when a victory
would have helped no little in its
fight to possibly catch UP with
the Naval Hospital tossers,
leaders in the race.

THOMAS Helps
MARTY PREP

On next Monday night, in the
Olympia Arena. of Carlin'S Park,
Baltimore, Marty Gallagher and
his fellow townSlnan, Henry La
mar, will have it out in a 10
round battle that has been the
talk of Washington all summer.
This pair of big fellows met
in the opening show Of the sea-
son in the same arena and the
decision to Lamar was nothing
to write home about.
Washington fans were of the
opinion \ that Gallagher won
eight out of the 10 rounds and
to say they were staggered by the
decision would be putting it mild.
Both men are training in Bos-
ton for the fray, where they are
under the watchful eyes of Man
ayers Johnny Buckley and Dan
Carroll. Gallagher wired Benny
Franklin to send him sparring
partner this mor ag who he has
used in all ~ his important
bouts.
This fellow, Jeff Thomas,
giant Washington negro,
seems to be able to box
Marty into better shape than
anyone he has ever worked
with.
Lamar is doing his prep stunts
out at Jack Sharkey's camp at
Cambridge, and Jack is coaching
him daily in his boxing. Sharkey
takes quite an interest in the so
called Blue Blood Of the ring
and things Lamar Is going to
get a long ways UP the boxing
ladder.
Lamar is boxing with Bob
Mills, big negro, and Benny
Touchstone, who recently Joined
the Buckley stable of mitt WELD
ers.
AL Friedman, Jewish heavy, of
Philadelphia, will be sent against
the winner early in August in a
contest that should break all
local records for the present sea-
son.
The preliminaries for the night
look to be the best of the year
and some real action can be
looked for when the boys toe

The National Professional Foot
ball League met at Atlantic City
for the purpose Of discussing vari-
Gus phases Of professional football
problems and principally to ar
range the schedule for the coming
season, which will be opened on
September 81.
In fixing the opening dates and
locating the initial games, an
extra mental hazard was en-
countered, due to the present un-
certainties regarding the identity
Of the two teams which will battle
At out for the world championship
Of the diamond.
The Washington times., 1930-07-17

They all three play on teams
in the Industrial League. Willie
as Short-Stopper for the Big Print
Shop nine and Eddie and Tom as
battery mates on the Holmes
Bakery team.
The three of them are good
ball players. In fact, better than
the average all of which brings
out their value to their teams.
Lets talk about Willie first.
He Is one of those ball
players with q rifle arm who
uses it at every opportunity.
And he's a good fielder, too,
which makes it unanimous
for him.
He takes mean cut at the
bat but does not hit as con-
sistently as his brother Eddie.
Yet he is ever dangerous because
when he connects he usually
sends the old horsehide far, wide
and handsome.
Next about Eddie. This chap
stands out probably because his
playing is the highlight of a

Willie and Eddie Edinger are brothers. And Tom

The Washington times., 1930-07-17

As the teams stand today
ir their respective leagues, 1t
Is fairly certain that the Ath-
Ietics, the Griffs, and the
Yanks will fight it out for
first place in the American
League, while the Chicago
Cubs, the Robins, and the
Giants will stage q similar
show in the National League.
PHILADELPHIA is the home of the
Yellowjackets. Chicago the play
ground of the Bears and Cardt-
mails, and New York has the
Giants and the recently organized
Brooklyn pro football team. To
avoid any possible conflict be-
tween the two professional sports,
other localities had to be selected
for the opening football games.
The Green Bay Packers ha1ling
from 200 miles north Of Chicago.
cannot be expected to play home
after November is. This consti
tuted another problem which was
solved by permitting that eleven
to clear out for a nilder climate
during the latter stages OF the
season.
It was further decided at At
lantic City to give night football
a rather extensive tryout this
year. These games can be started
about 1880 p. m. and concluded
at a reasonable hour.
One outfit has already In
vested over $4,000 in the in
stallatiOn of lighting equip
ment. This would indicate
complete confidence in after
> dusk contests on the part of
those in control of the pro
football organization.
The ghost" football will be-
used in these games and the
wearing of white jerseys has been
barred. With a gridiron properly
illuminated by powerful flood
lights, the use of the white pig
skin and the ban on jerseys o.
similar color, these evening games
ought to be both interesting and
comfortable to the spectators.
All in all, great forward strides
are being made in professional
football and every indication
points to the fact that it is being
handled in a high-type, clean and
progressive manner.
