for the ensuing season.
Now going into its hah-doz
enth year, the Cleland Cup
competition has had stormy
chapters in it's career, such as
beset many worthwhile endea-
vors in all walks of life, politi-
cal, social and sportive. For in.
stance, in one of the early
tournaments a ringer" was
discovered in the play.
He was q man who shot in
the low eighties On his. own
course, finished golfer In ev.
cry respect, one who replaced
all his divotS and never even
breathed while a colleague was
putting. driving or otherwise
delivering himself Of a stroke.
He crept into the event on
the strength of being the editor
and publisher of a racing pub
lication. but the minute he
drove off the first tee, all hands
could see he was an expert, and
boy, the lifting of eyebrows
and struggling of shoulders
that went on around there that
day caused Captain Cleland to
ask for transfer to the Pacific
Coast and General Hanson Eli,
then commandant, to seek ser.
vice at Governors Island.
But the strictly simon pures,
have saved the tournament
from these wolves who have
sought to usurp falsely the
honor that goes with the Gle
land Cup, until now the annual
affair has settled down to a
sedate, respectable and decent
golf competition with most Of
the contestants getting eX-
tremely bald around the tenn
pies, somewhat gray about the
ears and the majority having
to use spectacles with far-seeing
lenses to locate drives that nestle
most 10 to IL feet away.
It was, incidentally, the War
College golf course, q 9-hole af-
fair that circumscribes the col
lege itself, that fathered the
current Tom Thumb idea that
has sprouted on every vacant
lot in and near the larger
cities of the Union.
It starts in front Of the Off
GERS mess. trickles over a maca-
dam road to a red brick build
ing behind which is said to
have hung Mrs. Surratt; leaps
across the front walk of the
War College, trickles back be-
tween a couple of civil war can
mons, then around a coal pile
near the engineers building,
across the south exposure of
the college grounds, and finally
up along the sea wall Of the
Washington channel. Just q

VET MANAGER
STAYS HOME:
ON BUSINESS
BY DAVIS !. WALSH

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-<with
the New York Giants embtoiled
In q terrible brannigan over the
National League Pennant and
starting into a critical series with
the Cubs in Chicago today, I
should say that the pressing
question of the moment Is, where
is John J. McGraw and why not?
Mr.. McGraw has mysteriously ab-
sented himself throughout the
last and, therefore, crucial West.
ern trip Of the club and naturally
everybody Is little nonplussed
and, I might add, baffled by the
circumstance. Mr.. McGraw has
not seen fit to enlighten them.
In fact, he has denied himself
to any visitors who might be Of
a curious turn Of mind and Ia
steadily going about his bust
ness here, while the BAH club IL
equally steady in going about its
business elsewhere. The only
word that drifts East from the
scene of action is the rather sue.
cinct statement that "Mr. Me-
Graw has been unavoidably de.
tanned in New York" =
However, with the Cub
series coming up, one would
expect him to summon .
certain amount Of resolution
and break firmly away from
whatever may be detailing
him.
But q wire to the club last night
disclosed the fact that Mr.. MO
GraR had not yet appeared, and,
while 1t is possible that he may
rejoin the situation before the
opening game this afternoon, 1t
seems equally possible that he
won't. The law. In fact, says he
doesn't have to.
For one thing, matters have
progressed very briskly in his
absence of two weeks standing.
Mr.. David ]. Bancroft has been
maSter-lninding in an extremely
marked manner while John has
been elsewhere, and only an arch
scold could bicker over the re-
suits attained. Nine out OF the
lsat II games have been won,
this data including the one the
Giants blew in st. Louis yester-
day, the result being that the
outfit has risen from an apa-
thetic third to a point where 1t
is ready to take violent issue
with the Cubs over the leadership
of the league. t-..
So Mr.. Bancroft has done
Just Splendidly, and I don't
think anybody il justified In
trying to say otherwise, even
thOu9h IL has been intimAted
that MIR. McGraw has BEEN
doing . little master-minaing
himself over the long distance
telephone.
It seems that he thus picks the
pitcher who is to start each game
but this often ceases to be i'm
portant the moment the question
arises as to when the pitcher
should be asked to stop and forth
with 60 away from there. In
other words, this isn't an automat.
Once the ball game is under way,
there is no such thing as drop
ping in another nickel and set"
ting the right answer.
Therefore, 1t stands to reason
that this unavoidable detention
Of Mr.. McGraw here must be q
most urgent one. There has been
talk that his business involved
the settling of properties ne
acquired during the Florida boom.
There also has been talk-;I1nuch
Of it-by and from Joseph II.
McNally, who says he has bought
/ the ball club. Denials have been
made and it is urged upon Mr.
McNally that he check up on
this right away. It Is no use OF
him failing to buy q ball CLUB

Francis r. Hunter, Of New'
Rochelle, second tournament
player Of the country, and
George Martin Lott I'd, Of Chi
cago, are the players seeking
vengeance. Johnny Van Ryn,
Davis Cup star, and Sidney B.
Wood, jr., Forrest Hills white
haired boy" are the players upon
whom they hope to wreak their
wrath.
Hunter is out to avenge the
60, 6-1 setback he suffered at
the hands of Van Ryn last week
in the quarter-final round Of the
Eastern championships at Rye.
Lott wants to erase the memory
Of the three-set defeat that was
/ plastered on him by Wood at
Southampton.
OF the two Lott is the more
likely to succeed. There is little
chance that Hunter, who hasn't
won a single important tourna-
ment this year, will be able to
upset Van Ryn.
In yesteray's third-rOund
tilts, Van Ryn won his
quarter-final bracket with q
four-set victory over j. s.
Perry, of England, while
Hunter was conquering
Junior COen at GO, 16,
Ga, IS.
Wood showked class in his
match with Bryant Grant, jr., Of
Atlanta, the national clay court
champion. Grant was off his
game q bit, it is true, but that
alone can't explain that Wood
took" him In straight sets, 6-6,
l6A4, -S.
Lott is doubly anxious to beat
Wood, because he wants to stay
in the tournament and takea .
crack at Allison in the ng2t
round and then perhaps meet
Tilden in the final.
Big Bill Is none too sure to
survive to the last round himself.
He meets Gregory Mangin. New.
ark's star, and after his five
set tuSsle with Sutter yesterday
the national champion is In none
too good condition for another
long battle.

glared back. Before anything hap

tween the hostile pair.
Judge, who is chained tighten
ing once he gets under way, gave

the game. The cash customers
made plenty Of noise when Whata-
man went to first base. Local
folks like Art. He's gone over
in. o big and constructive way
since joining the washington
Club.
Jack Hayes, who has
played q great game on the
second cushion during the
past two days, will remain
there awhile. Manager John
son likes Hayes fielding. Also
he is impressed with the lat
ter's fielding.
walter has decided to keep Jim
Mcleod on third base awhile.
There is little likelihood, however,
Of Dave Harris substituting for
Sammy Rice in right field so

yesterday.

Lefty, along with Crowder, Hadley

And there's reason to believe ne
will keep it up.
Ladies will be admitted to-
Griffith Stadium free tomOr-
row. This will be the first
ladies' day game for quite
awhile. Last Friday was an

Goose Goslin, who used to hit
extra distance clouts for Wash
frletor1, is doing something of q
comeback with the Browns. Yes
terday Goslin, who has hit himself
80 home runs to date, singled
twice.
The Goose is going better than
800 now and has convinced Bill
Killifer that he is worth the price
paid for him-Heine Manush and
Alvin Crowder.
General Crowder got quite a
kick out Of beating st. Louis
yesterday. In fact the General
was so wrapped up in the ball
game that he hesitated. before
leaving the box, that is after his
mates had counted off IA times.
Washington got three runs
In the first inning yesterday
when st. Louis. its old
nemesis. was beaten here.
Joe Judge doubled, Cronin
singled, Melillo erred on Hayes
bounce and Manush hatted a
fielder's choice.
The Griffmen were never
headed. Ten runs in the fifth
frame locked up a ball game that
was already won.
Six tallies were registered off
Coffman during the momentous
frame. Then Chad Kimsey
entered the scene and surrendered
four runs.

motif Of the quarernal round Of the Newport Casinos annual
invitation tennis tournament here this afternoon
The Washington times., 1930-08-21

Managers Noonan and Dakin,
did a whole lot of thinking be-
fore the start and finally hit
upon the same plan-that Of
sending the pitching choices OF
the day previous right back into
the game In the idea that the
effect would take the other team
off its guard.
Good as the idea may have
been it didn't work out, maybe
it wasn't supposed to, but the
fact still remains that Pitchers
Colombo Sans and Ray Narrower
were both pummeled from the
mound and were forced to watch
the last few innings Of the game
from the sidelines.
At that it looked for time
as If Manager No0nan Of
Navy Yard was going to win
over Pilot Dakin In the
strategy idea in that Har-
over had the better Of Sans
for the first four innings,
pitching while his mates
coined q. 6-tO-1 lead for him.
Haroyer could not stand up un-
der the strain, however, as he
gave way to a Cob seven-run at
tack which put them into an
S-to-6 lead Just before he bowed
in favor of Lefty Kuhnert.
Pete Ingram developed into the
real hero of the game. 1t was
both his hitting and pitching
which enabled the Gobs to finally
win. First he entered the game
in the fourth inning and stopped
Navy Yard rally. Second and
best of all. he inserted a timely
single in the eighth inning which
drove over what proved the win
ming run of the day. And thirdly,
he took Navy Yard in order in
the last of the eighth, the game
being called after that time.
ingram was In there to get re-
venge yesterday. Twice had he
been treated roughly by the same
Navy Yard players, and twice did
he wish to get back at them in
some way. He's laughing at them
today. He stopped them, not
only from the mound, but with
his big bat.
Naval Hospital was the first
to score. The team took o
run lead in the opening In
ming. Navy Yard came back
with 3 markers in the second
and followed with 3 more In
the fourth. Exit Mr.. Sans
and enter Mr.. Ingram.

VETS MAY Gain
[ 29 |N.HOUSE

Americas slowly but surely
changing sentiment on prohibi-
tion was sharply indicated yester-
day by the assurance Of q gain Of
20 anti-prohibition seats in the
House, with only half Of the pri-
raaries and conventions held.
Buttressed by primary results
and commitments from candi-
dates, this was revealed in sur
vey by Henry H. Curran, presi-
dent Of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment.
Gains Total Nine
The anti-prohibition gains in
primaries already held total nine.
In addition, seven new affirma.
tive votes have been pledged for
repeal Of the Eighteenth Amend
n1ent by sitting members Of the
House.
And on top Of that, 13 more
members Of the House have
switched from q position Of un-
certainty or modification to out
right repeal Of the dry amend
nnent, according to Curran. These
members come from New York.

40 districts either the sure win.
11er is opposed to prohibition or
both Democratic and Republican
candidates are pledged to vote
for repeal of the dry amendment.
Most significant in Curran's
list Of anti-Prohibition crusaders
or converts are those from Vir-
ginia and Tennessee, and others
from Ohio and Nebraska, where
an out and out repeater won the
Republican primary over a dry

the benefit of lower rates as
they earn them. For this,
the Associated Gas and Elec-
trio System, as well as A. l..
Leader the local manager Of
the Dover Gas Light Com
pany, are to be congratulated.
Here in Smyrna, where for
years the community had to
put up with poorly made gas,
the service, as well as the
rate reduction, means much.
Under the, able direction of A.
L. Leader, Smyrna is getting
better service than ever in it's
history. The gas which is
manufactured and sent UP
from Dover thru high pres
sure mains, is uniform and
dependable and with the con-
fidence that has been restored
over the hectic career that
the old Smyrna Gas Plant put
over on the public, business IS
growing for the Dover Gas
Light Company surely and
steadily. And not only is
gas used for stoves and heat
ing water systems in homes,
but gas for cellar furnace fuel
bids fair to enjoy a boom
when once the people learn of
its convenience and merits.
Gas service has now become
real and Mr.. Leader and his
organization are being COM
plimented on what they and
the big Associated Gas and
Electric System are accom-
plishing for Smyrna, Dover,
and the chain of towns and
communities in Kent County.

SMYRNA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Happenings of the Past Week.
School Party Wednesday Evening

ScuUUl IdTiy heUlleSUiS LN6nAs
On Thursday evening, Novem-
ber 6, at o'clock a free night
school will be opened in Smyrna
by the State Bureau of Education
of the State Department of Public
Instruction. This school is pri-
marily for adults and is under the
direction of George Wright. Mr.
Wright has now an enrolment of
approximately twenty. The first
issue of the school paper the
Spy Glass" is off the press and
is in the hands of the subscribers.
Much pride is taken in the school
publication and at present the 240
students and outsiders have SUBJ
scribed for it.-On Wednesday,
October 20, the first school party
was given in the auditorium. This
party was under the direction of
the General Organizations and
subcommittee were appointed as
follows: Entertainment-Miss SUIT
ton and Edgar Harrington; Decor
alton: Mrs. Vogel and Carlton
Garrison; Refreshments - Miss
Baker and James Messick.- The
auditorium was very attractively
decorated. Almost everyone pres
ent was masked and the following
prizes were won by Mary Hart
Wright, for the best dressed girl;
Bill Everhart, for the best dressed
boy, and William Markland and
Henry Lower were the most orig
inal pair. Promptly at 9 o'clock
cider, cakes and apples were serv-
ed and the party ended at 1918,
sending everyone home after hav-
ing spent very enjoyable even
ing-On Thursday and Friday,
November 13 and IA, school will
be closed. This is the time taken
annually for the joining together
of all the teachers throughout the
state in the teachers meeting this
year. This meeting will be held
at Newark, Delaware. A band has
been organized in the Smyrna

YER. These have been conducted
by Mr.. McFadden and it is hoped
that in the future the Smyrna
School will be represented by a
first-class school band. At present
time the enrolment In the band is
approximately 18. 1t is believed
that more will join shortly.

your lawns, front porches and
windows of your home. You
will hear more about this in
the weeks to come. Make
your plans for an early start.
