grounds of American millionaire
sportsmen and sportswomen,

coming the return of the annual
Spa thoroughbred racing season.
The latter will continue during

EVERYTHING!
MhEHlZMAN

A little city that does things
in a big legaue way will rally
to a good cause tonight. Over
in Alexandria. Va, the Alexan-
dria Legion nine, Virginia State
champion, will be feted by some
500 enthusiastic citizens at the
CASTOR Cabin, corner of Cameron
and Royal Streets.
That the affair will be a pro-
nounced success can best be ex-
planned when it is noted that
genial Jack Tulloch, managing
editor of the Alexander Gazette,
is o setrve as master Of cere-
monies.
Outfielder Art Shires, First
Baseman Joe Judge and the in
evitable AL Schacht will be among
those present. Also an effort
is being made to have Manager
Walter johnson and President
Clark Griffith of the Washington
club, present.
Alexandrians are justly proud
of the gallant little Legion ball
club which is being honored.
These lads, all of them II or I'M
der, are to go into the quarter
finals of the annual national
baseball tournament at Gastonia,
N. c., August IA and Is.
A radio hook-up with Station
WJSV has been arranged for to-
nights program, which will be
broadcast.
With no desire to overlook
fanny Trigger, the last word in
Southern hospitality, we neverthe-
less nominate Tulloch as Alexan-
dria'S successor to the late Tex
Rickard.
For years, now, Jack not only
has been a live wire in all
branches of athletics, but he has
also Slanted off into politics.
Many nave gone so far as to
say that Jack, in time, will make
a name for himself in the latter
calling. Well acquainted with
every phase of his. States inter-
eSts, Jack has made himself an
army of friends that is increas-
ing steadily.
If we never have another de-
sire fulfilled we will be well re-
warded if stout hearted Joe
Turner, middleweight wrestler
extraordinary, some day gets the
break due him.
Joe is striving to put over
wrestling on a major scale in
Washington. Proof of this can

IN other words, the leagues
year will be over tomorrow as far
as naming the champion is con-
cerned, if the Repairmen win.
The Repairmen have registered
eight times to date, without losing
game. One more verdict and
no team will be able to catch up.
Treasury and Agriculture
meet today, but in a game
which wont mean great deal
to either team, although
victory for the latter will
strengthen its hold on third
place in the standings.
Coming back to the Repairmen,
victory for them tomorrow will
not only crown them Second-half
champions, but champions of the
whole year, as they took the first
half series with plenty to spare.
They will. incidentally, represent
the Departmental League in the
coming weekday championships,
August 10, for the city title.
In keeping with the leagues
plans at the start of the season,
a trophy will be awarded to the
team finishing in the runner-up
berth. Two teams, Commerce
and Agriculture, are in the fight
for that award.
It will be remembered that
the two mines battIed to no
end for q leg on the trophy
at the termination of the
first half series. Each team
won a game, with, the third
postponed until the end of
the second half series. The
two e9'Cd in q deadlock for

One tip-Off that the great

gained from the fact that

It is rumored that in time

Should such a move be made
1t is likely that Manush will
go to the mid-pasture. Although
Rice has covered that sector be-
fore, it is thought that Heine
can better stand the physical
