 Now I'll tell you," said the judge, I've played this game for 35 years and can't figure it out"
 Sometimes the going is good and sometimes it isn't. A fellow who figures to be just an old man will go out there-the way Charley White did the other day-and, by golly, he won't miss putt. Or any shot, for that matter. Judgment timing, steady hand and a good eye.
 And then you will take a strong young fellow, who ought to be SUD- pie and swing easily and what will he do? I'll tell you, if you don't realize what you're doing yourself lie will slice all over the premises

Neither Lieber or Crabill have

Al CROWDER
SETT|NGHOT
PACE
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

BOSTON, Sept. THE Griff-
men may lose many more games
before the season is completed,
but there's one feature to the
teams showing at this time.
It is the excellent pitching of
Gen. Alvin Crowder, 31-year-old
veteran. Crowder seems to have
come into his own recently as
on every appearance he moved
down the opposition with busl-
nesS-like precision.
The Generals fine work against
the New York Yankees yesterday
in a game which the Grlttmen
won, 4 to /. brought out conclu-
sively his return to form.
Third Straight
It marked the third straight
victory the veteran has turned
in during the past week, his
record for the season now read
ing IA victories against 10 SET
backs.
It really is shame that the
General could not have shown
his recent form earlier in the
season. 1t would have been
a great help to Manager john
sons team in its fight for
first place.
However, it's just as we'll that
he is setting a mean pace at
this time, in view of the i'm
portant battle going on for the
runners-up position.
Crowder began his recent
streak by pitching excellently
against the AS a week ago last
Sunday. In this contest he set
Connie Mack's men down with
seven hits while defeating them,
S to /.
Last Wednesday he stepped to
the mound to again defeat the
AS, allowing six hits this time,
and finishing on the best end of
another 5-to-1 game.
Yesterday, CroWder looked even
better than on any Of his previ-
Gus appearances. He had all the
Yankee batSmen popping up fire.
quently, and seldom was he in
serious trouble.
' Allowed Six Hits
Six hits were all the Yanks
could gather off his slants so
stingy was he in granting them.
Only in the sixth were they able
to dent home plate, when Combs
opened = frame with a lusty
trip-c to the centerfield score
board. A long fly to Harris by
Sewell counted Combs.
The Griffs worked earnestly
against Herb PennOck, Yankee
finger. Myers triple and Ma
nush'S single scored the first
run for Manager JOhnsOn's
team in the first inning, while
Myers single, ManuSh'S double
and walks to Rice, CrOnin and
Harris registered two in the
fifth.
Rice's single following Kuhel's
opening one-baser counted the
last Griff run in the sixth. George
Pipgras hurled for the Yanks in
the eighth. He turned the Griffs
back scoreless although a fast
double play with the bases loaded
and one out helped him con-
siderably.

Jim LOndOs Tackles

CHICAGO, Sept. Jim Lon
dos, generally recognized as cham
pion heavyweight wrestler, tugs
with Jim McMillen, former Uni
versity Of Illinois football star,
in a card scheduled for Soldier
Field tonight.
They meet in a finish match,
two falls out of three, with Lon
dos a prohibitive favorite. He
won two previous encounters
from the youth who gave up
pro football and civil engineer
ing for the more lucrative sport
Of wrestling, but they both were
one-fall matches.
Londos is outweighed about 20
pounds, with McMillen weighing
about 225. Ten other fairly we'll
known husky grapplers are on
the program, among them, Hans
Steinke VS.. Don de Laun, Dick

Fast and Smart

We would not say that the
current aggregation of players
is the biggest or heaviest that
has represented Georgetown in
recent years, but we will go so
far as to say it is the smartest.
They do intricate formations
even now with a briSkneSS that
suggests the tang of frost and
the snap of a crisp November
matinee.
There are no Connaughtons
nor Murtaughs nor Waites on
this 1881 Georgetown club, nor
yet are there any Peewee Gard
ners nor Hannigans of the Lou
Little times.
One would say that Dubof-
sky, Katalinis and Dyer, each
ranging slightly over 200 pounds,
but neither of whom is more
than 205, represent the beef on
the squad with Hilary Costello,
155, and Paul Kennedy, 1856, as
well as Dick King of the same
weight, being as near to mid
gets as the team boasts.
But that is ever the way
with coaches organizing elevens
to play Notre Dame football.
Rockne always wanted brains
and speed rather than bone
and Drawn and Tom Mills has
brought together just the kind
Of players chat a Rockne
would have assembled. Per
hapS this is one reason we are
able to report back to one and
all that a smart, clever, fast
stepping football team will be
Georgetown's this fall.

Alert and Expert

They show alertness in every
move and even for the brief
span of time the boys have
! been congregated here, they are
frequently also showing expert
ness. It is far too early to
commence to speak of the reg
ulars or substitutes, a first
team or second team, or, as
some coaches designate their
teams, A. B or C.
Right now the boys are work
ing mostly in two squads, the
Hnemen and the backs, except
when dummy scrimmage is held
when there is no regular line
5 up, either on the defensive or
offensive.
Mills will line 'em up helter-
skelter to start his dummy
scrimmaee, and before the ses-
sion is over, every candidate
viii have had a crack at his
particular position. Thus, Mills
believes. the cream of the
talent viii rise to the surface
and eventually he will be able
to form a definite idea of which
combination will be designated
regulars and which will be Sec
ond-stringers.
And when the pudgy coach
has arrived at such conclusions,
they will be by no means
definite, it being his theory that
his regulars will vary from
Saturday to Saturday depend
ing on how they stand the gaff
Of conflict.
The best men will get the
Jobs and under such a policy,
there will be no alibis. There
/ can't be!

of receiving the personal congra-
tulations of the mighty Bambino
and Walter Johnson, pilot of the
Griffs.
The three, Ruggie Cabiness,
Theodore Lieber and Noah Cra-
bill, are looking forward eagerly
to witnessing the first two games
of the worlds series, which, all
three are convinced, will involve
the AS and the Cards.
Babe Tells 'em
The Babe admitted to them
that the series would be hard
fought, with considerable doubt
about the outcome.
"The results will depend
largely, on the physical cOndi-
tiOn of the AS" the Babe told
them.
Cabiness had an unexpected
thrill.
He had just complained that
though a steady patron at ball
games for years, he had never so
much as gotten his fingers on a
ball fouled into the stands, when
Bluege obligingly fouled lazy
looper, which touched the upper
tiers and dropped right in front
of him.
In the wild scramble that en-
sued, Cabiness dropped it, and a
youngster sitting in front of him
snatched it up quickly.
All were surprised and tickled
pink when they were notified that
their selections had won, though
all figured that they had as goJd
a team as could be picked.
Favor AS
Crabill and Lieber believe that
the AS will win the series after a
hard struggle, while CabinesS fav-
orS the Cards.

shape and that the team has
