A Baseball Lady

Seated in box with Owner
Griffith at the local yard last
Tuesday was a very distin-
guished woman whose husband
was closely associated with the
early history of baseball.
Mrs. Nicholas E. Young, widow
Of the president of the National
League from 1885 to 1902, and
O Washingtonian with it, was
the guest of Mr.. Griffith on
the occasion of Washington's
fourth straight win over the
Chicago White Sox.
Many of the present-day fans
do not recall much about MI.
Young, but Griff assures us
he was one of the early refin-
ing and cleaning-up influences
in baseball. He was the father
of Robert Young, local attor-
ney, long associated with anna
teur baseball around Washing
ton.
Mrs. Young still enjoys good
health and has a keen interest
in the game over which her
distinguished husband once pre-
sided.

Can Earn $12,500

Crowder's contract, which
Griff was kind enough to let
us inspect when we challenged
the accuracy of his denial of
bonus relations with Crowder.
contains yet another clause
which stipulated Crowder shall
receive an additional $500 over
the $1,000 bonus plus his
$1,000 salary, if he wins 20
games this season.
Now wouldn't it be a lucky
strike for Crowder if he can
win one of the New York games
and then come home Sunday
to beat the Boston Red Sox?
Certainly no fan, say nothing
of Owner Griffith, would be-
grudge Crowder this opportunity
to earn an additional $500 over
what he has already cinched,
particularly if two more wins
for Alvin would keep the Yam
KEGS back in third place and
cinch second for Washington.
Were Washington to come
home Sunday in a tie with the
Yankees or even a half game
ahead of them, we daresay
Griffith Stadium would groan
on the Sabbath with customers
were Crowder advertised to
pitch a game which would mean
second or third place to Wash
ington as well as $500 extra to
the pitcher.
That far more than $500
worth of customers would be
out to see such a game goes
without saying, and the fans
will think far more of their
club if Manager Johnson and
Owner Griffith contrive to give
Crowder this chance 70 stage
a spectacular finish to the local
baseball season. He hasn't
pitched since last Sunday and
could easily work twice more.

REMATCH ERNIE
AND TUFFY

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Ernie
Schaaf, Boston's blond aspirant
to the heavyweight title, today
was the proud possessor Of a 10
round victory over Tufty Grit
fiths, of Chicago. It was a VIC
tory we'll earned, despite the riot
Gus scenes at the Stadium last
night occasioned by the judges
announcement of their verdict.
Inspired, no doubt, by the fans
wild demonstration in favor OF
the loser, Matchmaker Nate
Lewis announced shortly after
the battle that the two big rivals
have been rematched for a re-
turn engagement in November.
So furious was the outburst
against the judges at the end of
the fight that four riot squads
from the detective bureau were
rushed to the Stadium to quell
the disturbance.
Boos and catcalls resOunded
through the vast auditorium
for fully half an hour after
Schaaf'S hand had been raised
in token of victory. Here and
there fist fights broke out, while
programs and newspapers flut-
tered through the air.
Despite the vociferous dis
annroval of the local lads
admirers, the weight of opinion
among fistic experts today
leaned toward the Boston protege
of Jack Sharkey. Except for
the fifth and seventh rounds,
Schaaf enjoyed a clear advan-
tage over his smaller rival. In
fact, during the first two rounds
the New England battler more
than once threatened to send
Griffiths to the floor for the
count.
But, the Chicagoan's stout
heart resisted knockout and he
came back to win the fifth and
seventh rounds and put up a
game battle for the balance of
the struggle. Schaaf outweighed
him by 81 pounds.
The judges verdict was
unanimous. Fourteen thousand
fans witnessed the bout, paying
$41,115 for the privilege. Of this
amount, Schaaf obtained $4,000,
while the losers share was
$4,000.

the bases, looked up just in time
to see Rice catch the ball on the
rebound, and thinking it was a
put out, stopped on his tracks
and walked to the Yankees play
ing bench to get his glove.
Gehrig, in the meantime, con
tinued his journey around the
base paths and snilingly walked
into home plate, only to be called
out by Umpire MCGOWAN be
cause he had passed Larry
thereby becoming automatically
out.
So if Ruth beats out Gehrig
by one homer this year in the
race for honors, it will be this
erased clOut which will keep
Columbia Lou from at least
tying his team mate.
When the Griffmen defeated
the Yanks yesterday, it marked
the first time they have been able
to triumph over Lefty Gomez
Yankee ace, this season. The
sinewy southpaw certainly held
an Indian sign over his rivals
before yesterday. At that he
might have won once more, if
he hadn't kickgd in with an error
in the Griff's sixth which started
all of their scoring.
Brown. first up, singled. Myer
laid down a bunt, and Gomez

HURTS B|SONS

A successful football season at
Howard University this year
seemed doubtful yesterday as it
was learned that IS members of
last years team, including five
letter men, would probably be in
eligible this fall.
Names of the men were not dis
closed as the Bisons went into
training under the helm of Coach
Tom Verdell, leader of the team
last year. A lot of new material
is on hand and it is from this
roster that a first-string eleven is
to be picked.
The Bisons will open its sea-
son on October 10, meeting
johnson C. Smith College, of
Charlotte, N. c., here. On the
following Saturday, West Vir-
ginia State, an ancient rival,
will be met at Institute, w. Va.
Following in order, Howard will
meet Virginia Union at Rich
mond; Virginia State, here; Nor
gan College at Newark, N. j.;
Hampton Institute, here: Virginia
Seminary, here; and Lincoln Uni
versity, at Philadelphia on
Thanksgiving Day.
The Bisons have ahead of them
one of the toughest schedules in
several years. From the present
outlook, several defeats are ex-
pected as each team to be met
has a stellar and veteran eleven.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Tf
we can get the pitching during
the remainder of this series,
we'll win second place sure"
Manager johnson speaking
and looking very thoughtful.
Its the thing that's going
to turn the trick for us, and I
don't mean maybe. Lefty
Browns work during yesterdays
game brings this out. If he
hadn't been able to bear down
in the pinches we'd have lost
sure. And when I say bearing
down, I mean getting such hit
terS as Ruth and Gehrig."
Brownie certainly let go every
thing he had when hurting to
those players yesterday. He
showed his mettle especially in the
seventh inning when the Yanks
had men on first and second with
only one out. The Griffs led, by
one lone run-3 to 2-what turned
out to be the final score of the
fray.
Ruth, Gehrig and Chapman
were due at the plate. Lefty
Lloyd worked carefully, yet with
all of his heart, to get out of
what was his worst inning of
the game.
Ruth Pops Up
After pitching three balls to
Ruth, two of which were strikes,
the Babe hoisted a short fly to
West which Sammy gobbled up.
Two out, and Gehrig to go.
Columbia Lou advanced to
the plate ready to sock out
his fOrty-sixth home run of
the season If he could. But he
couldn't, as his best was a hot
grounded to Bluege, who
touched third, forcing Combs,
ending the inning.
The Yanks had just counted
a run a moment before all Of
this. Two errors aided them.
Lazzeri first up, singled to left.
Pinch Hitter Byrd, up for Co
mez, flied to West, but Cronin
fumbled Combs grounded and
Lazzeri went to third as the ball
rolled into left field.
Next to the plate came Sewen.
He grounded to Myer, who also
fumbled, Lazzeri scoring and
Combs, fortunately, stopping at
second. At this point, Brownie
still in the box pitching his
heart out, set down to his huge
task of getting" Ruth and Geh-
rig. Their mentioned efforts are
now history.
Change Mound Plans
The Griffs, by winning yester-
days contest, now hold a game
and a half margin over their
despised rivals. They must cap
ture two more tilts in this series
in order to snatch the coveted
second place honors.

BUFFALO COUNTRY CLUB,
Sept. 24.-The bachelor girls had
the numerical advantage over
the matrons as the third round
of play got under way for the
National Women's golf champion
ship at the Country Club of Buff
falo today, for five of the eight
survivors are in the single"
classification.
And no matter how today's
battles end, there will be two un-
married contestants in the semi
final, and probably three. Today
Maureen Orcutt, Canadian title
holder from Englewood, N. j., is
playing Virginia Van VIE, last
years finalist, from Chicago, and
the two English women. Enid
Wilson and Marjorie Kerr, are
involved in another match.
In the married woman's class
are Glenna Collett, national
champion five times; Mrs. Leo
Federman, New York, and Mrs.
Leona Pressler, Los Angeles
Glenna and Mrs. Federman are
playing today, while Mrs. Press.
ler and Helen Billie" Hicks
of New York, are due for real
battle this morning.
What should be the match of
the day is the one between Mau.
reen and Virginia.
Miss Orcutt tied for the medal
at SO in the qualifying round;
went out in 80 to win from
Jane BrOadwell the first
round; and hit a 81 pace to
the turn to be 4 up on Bernice
Wall yesterday.
Just how much of scoring
battle Virginia Van VIE will put
up against her today is probe.

Against Frances Williams yes

match, three over As. That kind
of scoring today will give Maui
reen something to worry about.
If by any chance. Maureen
should be beaten by Virginia, last
years finalists may meet in the
semifinal tomorrow. for Glenna
is in the other half of that
bracket.
Glenna may find her hands
full with Mrs. Federman today,
for that golfer is not afraid of
anyone, champions or otherwise.
Mrs. Federman is not awed by
titles-to her Glenna is just an
other golfer, a good player, but
one that can be beaten.
Helen Hicks came so near

the gods had something good in
store for her. Fortune tapped
her on the shoulder at the nine.

the eighteenth hole to beat
Martha Parker, the first day:
Yesterday she had to travel
three extra holes to beat FRITZ

Helen Hicks should beat her
this morning to enter the semi,
finals.
In the other batch between
two Of John Bulls representa-.

Enid Wilson, the British cham
pion. If Miss Kerr plays as
badly as she did yesterday to

the match over at about the

In fact they must be watched
at every turn and Manager John
son of the Griffmen, realizing
how either could break UP a game
most any old time in the series
now in progress has instructed
his hurlers to work very care
fully when pitching to them, es-
pecially in the pinches.
Gehrig leads Ruth at the pres
ent moment by one home run,
but Babe, strong finisher, has
an even chance of beating out
his team mate. The actual totals
right now are Gehrig 46, Ruth As.
Should Babe beat out Colum-
bia Lou by just one homer
a strong pOSsibility-Gehrig
can blame his failure to out
total Babe on an incident which
occurred at Griffith Stadium
last April when the Yanks were
engaging Manager Johnson's
team.
Gehrig hit a perfectly good
homer that Sunday afternoon,
but because he passed Lyn Larry,
his team mate on the base paths,
he was called out and the homer
erased from his record.
