Old-time wrestling patrons
may soon get a thrill.

Waino Ketoneon,, of Boston,
split fame. has challenged Joe
Turner to a match involving the
worlds middleweight champion
ship.
Years ago Ketoneon and Turner
put on some great grappleS. The
former still claims he has al
ways had something on the
Washingtonian.
Turner recently went into re
tirement to turn promoter. But
the chances are, he will do a
comeback in the near future, fol
old time sake if not his own.
If you happeT>ed to miss it,
you may be interested to
know that Art (Whataman)
Shires did himself proud over
Station WRC Thursday night.
With his usual nonchalance
Art introduced Joe Judge, who, ir
a few words, thanked the Wash
ington public for the reception
rendered him a week ago.
In part Shires said:
"I'm watching everything
Judge does. Therefore when
he steps out I'll put up Joe
Judge game. -..., ..
Nobody in either league can
tie Joe now. That's why he
plays every day and I have to
write a column for a newspaper.

# precedent means anything
Connie Mack's Philadelphia Ath-
leticS are in!
That is to say they have already
cinched the 1880 American League
bunting. ,-
Why? Simple enough.
In the past year winners OF
both leagues, with few exceptions,
have occupied top place. July 4.
Only a few exceptions have been
noted.
Today the Elephants are but a
fractional bit removed from
Walter Johnson'S Griffgnen. But,
if past performances mean any
thing, that difference is sufficient
to keep them where they are.
On several occasions, Of
course, there have been ex-
ceptiOns to the general rule.
Here's hoping such state Of
affairs exists this season!
Recently the Griffmen trimmed
Bill Killefer's Browns in both. ends
of a doubleheader.
Here's the inside dope.
Joe Cronin was going to bat
late in the second game. And his
club needed two runs.
The bases were full when Art
Shires, decorating the bench, gave
Joe the high sign.
See this numeral 13 on my
back?" Art asked. "Well, run
your right hand across it. Then
you will hit and we will cop"
Joe took Arts suggestion on the
spot.
And his single sent over two
runs. His teams winning margin.

game by knocking out three safe
ties with a fourth seemingly too
much to be expected. Yet he

on the base paths sending them
home with the runs that won the
game.
All this after the Clients had

time.
Harry Milburn started on the
mound for the Grubbmen and

George (Ray) Francis went the
route for the Tigers, being lifted
in the tenth by pinch-hitter,
George Skinner, who came
through with a single to be one
of the men to get on base before
Hessler's triple. Francis hurled
we'll after a bad start and de-
served his victory.
The Sergeant Jasper Post nine
clinched the first half series of
the American Legion schedule
when the Victory Post nine was
defeated, ii to /. The losers
were the only team near enough
to make trouble for the Sergeant
Jaspers if they won.
The victory was the fifth
straight for the JasperS and the
first loss for the Victory's in the
series. The George Washington
nine advanced to third place by
defeating the Lincoln Post, 6 to
while the Nash Post registered
it's first win of the series when it
gained a forfeit over the Spengler
Post, which team could not
muster but seven players for the

GET SHARE
OF FACTION
BY GARRETT WATERS

Several interesting sandlot
games are on the usual large
program for tomorrow, taking in
both the independent and Ieague
teams.
Probably the most novel attrac-
ton will be the st. Marys Celtics'
game at Baggett's Stadium where
the Alexandrian's will entertain
the Philadelphia Bobbie Girls.
This game is expected to swell
the attendance at Baggett's Sta
dium to its greatest number as
the Bobbie Girls are rated on a
par with :he New York Bloomer
Girls, If not the better team.
There will be one difference in
that the Bohbie Girls will use
male battery where the Bloomer
Girls had the 19-year-old Ethel
Condor hurting.
However, the game should
be interesting for no other
reason than that it is the
first time in several years that
an attraction of its kind has
been offered Alexandria fans.
The Burroughs, Columbia
Heights and ST. Josephs play the
feature games in the District un-
limited action of the Capital City
League. The Burroughs TosserS,
in a winning stride, engage the
Foxalls, while the Columbia
Heights nine, supplanted by the
st. JosephS last week for the
leadership Of the, league, plays
the Aztecs, while the st. Josephs
try to continue their lead by en-
gaging the Woodmen of the
World nine.
These three teams are in the
fight for the most part for the
league honorS. What they do in
the next three weeks will turn the
tide for the fortunate one in the
matter Of jumping ahead or fall
Ing back. as the case might be.
The Prince Georges county
sector has headliner in the
HyattSVille- Dixie Pig clash.
Both are largely in, the thick
of things for the champion
ship, with break for either
meaning a great deal.
Another of those packed arenas
is likely to be the case for this
encounter, which is scheduled on
the HyattSville diamond.
The Mt. Rainier tossers play
the Brentwood Hawks, not so i'm.
portant a game as the above.
mentioned clash. but important,
nevertheless, as far as the Mounts
are concerned. Although it is
most assured of a victory, the
Mounts have got to win to keep
the pace they have set since gain
ing the leadership of the circuit.
Berwyn and Bowie engage each
other in the third game of the
loop.
The Takoma Tigers face the
team that handed them a defeat
the last time they met them in
the Bethesda Firemen in the
Montgomery League, whom, it
might be said, have played rings
around the other teams in a win
ming stride it has recently taken.
The Bethesdas, considered weak
at the start of the race, have
shown unusual power and have
made every opponent step. The
Tigers will go into the battle in
the mood for revenge and at that
will have to win in order to keep
their lead in the race.
The Colonials are scheduled
with Rockville at Rockville and
the Kensington Firemen are listed
with the Chevy Chase Grays on
the Chevy Chase diamond, in the
other games.
Sergeant Jasper Post and
George Washington tangle in the
Legion series, as do the Lincoln
and Spengler teams, and Victory
and Nash. Midget games include
the Sam Vests against the Hurrh-
mans Store nine, Lionels against
Kings Palace, and the George
towns against the Senators,

will be a mans size job and this
year, as never before, it looks as
though I'd need the help of sports
editors and experts throughout
the circuit.
"A word about the big league
race. Since last I wrote the
Giants have fallen into trouble
and the pennant bid of the Nc
Graw club that looked so good
two weeks ago now seems to have
gone glimmering. The Cubs, with
out Hornsby, have come strong
and once Rajah gets back in his
swing I'm afraid the going will
be tough for the other contenderS.
I would say that the Cub chances
right now are 20 per cent better
than they were 10 days ago.
In our own league the thing
Is developing into just such a
dog fight as / predicted before
the season opened. The only
surprising feature is the sudden
and unexpected strength Of the
washington club which makes
II a three-way scramble instead
of a battle between the AS and
the Yankees.
Having a third club in there
fighting for the lead, believe
benefits the Yankees more than
it does the AS. It takes away
something of the pitching ad-
vantage and puts a heavier pre-
MUM on slugging. m
I still think the. Yankees will
win. The ability of the club to
come back after that terrible start
is proof of the fighting spirit
and the closer the race the better
our chances. AS long as the AS
remain in first place the strain
of the fight is on their shoulders
and the Griffs, and the Yanks
have a breathing spell that is
denied the league leaders.
once more 1 make my old pre-
diction. If the race is decided
by q margin of eight or ten games
the AS will be the winners. But
if it goes down to the finish nip
and tuck, then the Yanks will
grab the pennant.

YOUNG STARS
MAKE BIDS
FOR TEAM
BY BABE RUTH

Every year about this time I
begin casting around through
the box scores and the record
books to get alline on the players
of the two leagues and what they
are doing. A few more weeks
and I'll be called upon to name
my All America team and some
of the boys are writing their
names into that All America
lineup by their deeds out there
on the diamond right now.
And every year I'm impressed
with the changes that come in
baseball; with the number. OF
young fellows who come up to
star almost Immediately and with
the number Of old faces that dis
appear each season. I'm still
young fellow myself, at least l
feel young, yet there are only
two or three men left in the
major leagues as active players
who were there when I came
into the game.
Wren it comes to picking
an All American club this
year / face . mighty tough
problem. A lot of the fel-
lows who used to be counted
on to make the team season
after season have slipped
and gone back. And a lot OF
new fellows are bowling for
recognition and deserve
place in q lineup Of the best
there are in the business.
