PLAN
To Pep Up
SPORT
By GINO SINH


A new idea, which has been
inaugurated in local public parks
tennis circles, is expected to aid
materially in encouraging deeper
interest in the game from the
public parks angle, a N on g
players and fans alike.
. A city-wide challenge ladder,
such as has been in local use
OH public courts for several years,
will be kept from week to week.
The ladder consists of 20 rungs,
on which the 20 leading public
parks players are inscribed, &C
cording to rank.
Must Accept
A player may challenge any
of the three players listed di-
rectly above him. Should ne win,
he replaces his opponent on that
rung.
"AII challenges must be &C
cepted and played within ten
days, unless the players
challenged can show sufficient
cause why they are not able
to play within that time.
Any puolic parks player not
included on the ladder is eligible
to try for a place, by challenging
any of the three last placed
players. All tournament or Public
Parks League matches in which
ladder men or challengers figure
shall be considered as challenge
matches and the results posted
accordingly.
One of the chief reasons for
the installation of this arrange
ment is the facilitating of the
selection of public parks players
for intercity matches.
1t is also expected to make the
annual ranking task of he D.
c. committee little easier and
more accurate.
Provides Keener Play
Of course, the principal pur-
pose is to provide keener and
balanced competition among
players who avail themselves
Of municipal facilities to in.
dulge in their favorite pastime
and give the fans something
to follow.
, The first weeks ladder, which
has been posted on the courts
at Monument, Potomac, Rock
Greek and Henry courts, is head
ed by Bob Considine, No. / D. C.
ranking player. Dooly Mitchell.
listed No 2, is second. Eddie
Yoemans. No. 4 ranking, is third.
and is followed by Bud Markey.
Frank Shore, Maurice O'Neill,
Hugh Trigg. Barney Welsh. Bill

Zby5zko, the rugged Polish
g~appler. with Dick Shikat, the
crafty German, as one of the

fifth Stadium next Thursday
night.
zbyszko has defeated the
greatest wrestlers in the game

THREE CREW
RACES ON
TODAY

NEW YORK, May 16.-This is
an important day for intercol-
legiate rowing. Three regattas
are scheduled.
One finds Coach Rich Glendon
boating his Columbia eight
against M. I. T., on the Harlem
River course; another the Har-
ward, Navy and Penn crews race
on the Schuylkill. The third is
the Carnegie Cup Regatta at New
Haven, Yale's own derby day, in
which it plays hosts to Cornell
and Princeton.
The race today is Cornell's first
of the year, and there's so much
interest in the possibilities of the
crew" which won last seasons
Poughkeepsie regatta that a spe-
cial train is being run from New
York to New Haven.
Coach Jim Wray has a vet
eran bOatlOad of Oarsmen in
his Cornell crew this year and
that alone should make them
dangerous. But the Ithacans
have been hampered by cold
weather and they have been
unable to get in as much prac-
tice as they had last year at
this time.
Wray's task today is all the
harder because Cornell enters this
important regatta with no pre-
liminary races to put it in shape
and still hopes are high in the big
Red camp, if not for today, at
least for the future. The reason
is the manpower which the
Cornell coach has at his com
mand.
Six of the men who rowed
Cornell to its astounding triumph
at Poughkeepsie again are at
their positions. They are: S. M
Austin. bow; Garret Parsons, No
3; Commodore Dick Heibelberger
No. 4; Peter McManus, No. 5;
Bruce Clark, No. 6, and Bob Will

NEW PLAYERS
BOLSTER
TEAM
BY BABE RUTH

DETROIT, May 16.-It is Just
a month ago that the baseball
season opened and today l am
presenting my idea Of how the
teams in the National League
should finish. This is my idea
Of the finish Of the National
League race:
1-BrOOklyn.
2-St. Louis,
3-New York.
4-ChiCagO.

named Brooklyn as the prob.
able pennant winner before the
season opened but did not 60
into the probable finish of the
other clubs. In spite Of the poor
start which Uncle Robbie's team
has made this year, 1 am still
stringing along with the Robins.
Brooklyn had good enough club
last year to finish only six games
behind the pennant winning
Cards, four behind the second
place Cubs, and one game behind
the third place Giants. I think
Robbie has a greatly improved
team this year, even if the boys
have not been proving it.
Club Is BOlstered
I pick Brooklyn because l be.
lieve the addition of O'Doul,
Thompson and Lombardi brought
much strength to the club. Then
again, Joe Shaute has been a
valuable addition. 1 believe the
poor start was due to the in.
juries to Luque and Thompson.
the illness of Wright md the
batting slump of O'Doul. These
four mean lot to the Robins
O'Doul is sure to hit far above
300, and with the others all
back to normal, / look for an
early squirt.
The Cardinals still are a good
team, but 1 do not figure them
as any stronger than they were
last year, and some of their
rivals have put on new strength.
This means that the Cards
should not win so many games.
figure it will be a fight for
second place between the Cardi-
nails and Giants. and l like the
Cards chances just a little bet,
ter. If McGraw's pitching con-
tinues along the same lines as
it was in the first few weeks OF
the season. the Giants have a
strong pennant chance, out /
am not yet convinced that it Is
quite steady enough. McGra"
apparently has picked up young
star in Vergez, and he certainly
is getting great pichlng.
Places Cubs Fourth
I figure the Cubs for fourth
place this year. Their inability
to beat the Cardinals is one
strong point against them. And
believe that both the Giants
and Robins have added enough
strength since last season to oil
set the difference in the tand
ing last September when the
pennant race ended. HornsbY S
team is likely to be battlng
away for the leadership now ano

Mrs. Hattie Liden wife of Ernest
A. Liden, local restaurant proprietor
of fredericksburg, has just completed
record of 231G pies for this year.
She is to be congratulated in this
wonderful work of satisfying the hu-
man appetite. In 1927 she made
1867 and it is with regreat she states
that no accurate record was kept of
the number she made in 1928 and
1929, but comparatively as many or
more as she made this year. These
pies have all be consumed at the
firm of Lidens restaurant and many
times the demand has been greater
than the supply.
Mrs. Liden was before her mar
riage, Miss Hattie E. Todd, youngest
daughter of the late Caleb and Char
lotte Todd.

He is to be the arbiter of the
knotty points involving prece-
dence, etc., at all White House
functions, and his ukases will be
the laws of social Washington.
There will be no appeal by Wash.
ington hostesses from his de-
ciSionS.
Not all of this arduous social
task is to fall upon the shoulders

to have strong support from
James Clement Dunn, a State
Department alumnus, whose duty
it will be to make arrangements
for international conferences,
ETC., and all the social plans in
cident thereto.
