Few Hours to Tell

But what we started out to
say is that Turner has sent
White a contract with a $10,-
900 guarantee, that being the
amount Londos named for a
return bout here with Dusek
--LondoS- also stipulating he
must be guaranteed protection
from hooting and bowling fans
wont to gather around the ring
side following the match.
Whether Londos signs and
returns this contract. the next
few hours will tell, but in the
meantime there is another
phase of the situation which
will stand a bit of spotlight. 1t
is this:
Over the weekend Turner Ie-
Ceived a very. magnanimous
telegram from Dusek, the other
party to the match, in which
Dusek made a gesture which
many of you would hardly as
sociate with the wrestling p1o-
feSsion-judging from the black
eye many have given the sport.
Dusek wired Turner that he
was agreeable to a contract
calling for $4,000 for Iondos
and that he would gamble on
getting his nights wages and
even split any loss with Turner
The Washington times., 1931-08-03
For Dear Old Greece

Dusek, in short. is willing
that Londos take the first
$4,000 in the house and he,
Dusek, take what's left, after
the preliminary boys are pro-
vided for. In case the cash
is not in the till for all these
expenditures, Dusek agrees to
split the loss with Turner.
Meanwhile it is said the
Greeks of Washington. by the
thousands have signed a petit
ton and forwarded it to Lon
dos to come back to Washing
ton and face Dusek. The local
Greek colony is up in arms
over DuSek'S daring in assum-
ing he can out-grapple Londos
and they have appealed to their
countryman to step forth, strip
ped to the waist, and ioust for
the honor of Ancient Greece
and Modern Greece as we'll.
: Wonder what LonGos can
say to that?
The Washington times., 1931-08-03
What An Offer!

We don't know. but that
sounds like pretty offer to
make, particularly when it is
in the shape of a telegram, a
matter of record, and an in
strument to which Dusek can
be held.
Too, it reeks with confidence
on the part of Dusek that he
can take the Greek god, and
even though there be no money
left with which to pay Dusek
and the others on the bill,
Dusek seems to feel sure he'll
reap his harvest when and If
he becomes champion as the
result of the meeting.
II Londos has not already
sailed on his contemplated va
cation to Greece, he can't be
guilty of any great degree of
sportSmanship if he fails to
meet Dusek under the financial
arrangement Dusek specifies.

Do you still think Chuck Klein
Is superior to Kiki Cuyler in the
cutfield and that Joe Cronin is
better shortstop than Travis Jack
son?
Well you can earn a trip to the
first two games of the world
series by proving it.
The annual Babe Ruth ALL
American contest is under way in
J The washington Times-and it's
Syour chance and privilege to
match judgment with the Babe
and test your baseball knowledge
at the same time.
You know the idea of course.
Every year Babe Ruth picks his
All-America team of big league
ball players-picks the men he
figures are best in each position
figured on this seasons accom-
plishments alone. And as usual
The Times is offering four trips
to the series opening to the fans
who can come closest to picking
the Babes team man for man
right down the batting order.
Last year $4,000 fans took a
whirl at the jOb-and what a
fine lot of arguments they
started, too.
The full rules and regulations
are printed in this sports section.
You select your team and batting
order-eight regulars and two
pitchers-and you mail your selec-
tions together with short letter
Of not more than $50 words tell
ing why you select some particu-
lar player. Simple isn't it? And
easy-and lots of fun.
The contest will close at mid
night on August 81 and up to
that time the skies the limit.
Just make sure that you've
got ten men arranged in batting
order; that you write the letter
Of explanation, and that the
letter is addressed to the Babe
Ruth Contest Editor Sporting
Department. Washington Times.

Tor coveted pennanIS.
Battle is a mild word when
relations between the GriffS and
AS are grouped this season. The
players have not only engaged in
heated struggles to win games,
but have held many a word war
as an added attraction.
Act Like SchOOIbOys
A regular schoolboy rivalry has
existed, which has become SO
prominent that it is now the talk
of the race. This rivalry first
started when AL Simmons and
Joe Cronin staged their now
forgotten run-in about three years
ago.
It broke cut in more heated
forms when Marberry and Sim
mons had an argument last
year, while new boiling points
were reached about a month
ago when the same players,
Marberry and Simmons, almost
engaged in a fist fight at Shibe
Park when the Griffmen last
visited.
New developments in the rivalry
have arisen at this time. 1t
does not involve Marberry and
Simmons, as might be expected
by many, but Waite Hoyt, Connie
Mack's pitcher, and Bryant cBis-
mark") Turner, the batting prac-
tice HEAVIER of the Griffmen. 1t
seems that when Hoyt walked
toward the Philadelphia locker
rooms after having been taken
out of the box by Manager Con-
ME Mack during yesterdays game
at Griffith Stadium, word was
passed along the Griff bench to
give Hoyt "the works"
Bryant ("Bismark") Turner, be-
ing an up and coming lad and
wishing to gain the high esteem
of his mates, took it upon himself
to ride Hoyt the hardest. He
said to the big pitcher:
go on down stairs and cool
yourself, you big joke. You
got yours today and plenty.
When are you going to give
yourself up?"
Hoye stopped in his tracks,
scanned the Griff bench furiously
until the finally laid eyes on
Turner. Enraged, he said:
"IIl get you for that when we
get to Philadelphia. You'll take
that back and like it. 1 don't let
kids talk to me that way"
Whereupon the entire Griff
cast rose in body and said:
"Take what back? Get who?
Just try and start something"
Turner has been the target of
jeerS and cheers by his team
mates ever since the incident.
Coming up on the train last night.
Bismarck" as he is called, could
hardly sit still. he was so worried.
But his teammates have let him
know this morning that they're
back of him if Hoyt really tries
to start something. Hoyt will not.
His gesture was just another il
luStration OF the boyishness of
the rivalry existing between the
red-hot teams who hate to be
beaten on the ball field and who
have to take it" individually
when a direct party to a setback.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-King for a
day, and possibly longer, was
Karel Kozeluh today, for the
European professional tennis
expert yesterday defeated Big Bill
Tilden in a brilliant three out
of five set match at Onmentsia
Country Club. The scores were
36, 81, 6-1, As, and 6-3.
One thousand eight hundred
spectators, most of them socially
prominent, witnessed the match.
The CZechoSlovakian's volleying
was the chief factor in bringing
him victory.

Even Pop Ed White, Lon
dos manager, has told Turner
he believes Londos owes it to
Washington to come back here
and face Dusek without that
trick japanese side neck hold
of his. While the National Box
ing Association has ruled the
hold is not the strangle. in
that it paralyzes the blood YES
sci leading to the brain, its
effects are equally as devastat-
ing to the victims stamina.
However. we would not leave
the impression the hold is il
legal. There are but two holds
illegal in wrestling. one being
the strangle hold and the other
the smother hold, with the
hand over the nostrils and
mouth.

MACK WILL NOT
BREAK Up AS

The machine-like victories of
the Athletics are not helping the
American League race. In July
when most of the teams should
be raking in some cash, business
has not been booming. The opin-
ion in cities where the interest
has been killed by the one-sided
race is that Mack must scrap his
great machine as he did in 1914.
Mack takes that thought seri-
ously, saying:
'T never make the same mis-
take twice"
When the Yankees were rolling
out all opposition and f1attening
the AS as a steady diet, the cry
arose that the pennant trust of
New York should be broken.
Colonel Rupert, owner of the
Yankees, answered that cry by
going out and buying more play
ers to fill in when the big aces
slumped.
Won't Scrap Team
Connie Mack won't break up
his team. One looks at that fine
outfit and comes to the conclu-
sion that age will wreck it almost
as quickly as the sale of players.
Some Of those who claim to
know say that the great Mack
machine is not being supported
as we'll as it should be in Phila-
delphia. OF course. Sunday ball
helps other clubs, but the Ath-
letics do not enjoy that privilege.
The average daily attendance at
Shibe Park is less than 5000, and
salaries of the Athletics have
jumped by leaps and bounds in
the last few years.
Unless the Athletics succeed
in putting over Sunday ball it
will be difficult for the owners
to meet the old payroll and
have a profit for the stock
holders.
The belief in Chicago is that
Connie Mack will sell some of his
stars next season. Cleveland as
serts that Simmons. Fcxx, Coch-
rane and Earnshaw will be put
on the block, but Mack shakes
his head and solemnly says:
at took me about Is years
to build a winner and nobody
is going to rip it apart until it

In New Auditorium
GOya Dances; Miss Weller Delights
With Her Harp

The University's new audi
torium was opened last Satur-
day night with a recital of Span
ish dances by Garcia Goya. as
sisted by Beatrice Weller, harp
ist, and Ramon Gonzalez,
pianist The program consist
ed Of traditional, modern, Fla
menco. and Gitano dances by
Senorita Goya, and harp and
piano solos by Miss Weller and
Ar. Gonzalez.
The lighting effects. the
music. and the beautiful cos
tunes combined with the grace
and beauty Of Senorita Goya,
made an enjoyable program She
is an actress as well as a dancer,
and was able TO catch the spirit
Of each character that she pOr-
trayed in dance. Each dance
had an individual costume which
harmonized with its mood. The
audience, occupying practically
all of the available seats and
some Of the space UP in the bal
cony, was very appreciative and
was lavish IN its applause The
Senorita caused quite stir
among students sitting in the
front row when she threw a
bunch Of flowers into the or
chestra pit There was a scram-
bic to see who would secure the
prize
The audience was delighted
with the harp solos Of Miss
Weller. She gave two numbers
during the first half Of the pro
gram and was applauded and
encored again and again. Many
people in the audience expressed
the opinion that she should have
a program all to herself. She
played Il harp accompaniment
for one Of Senorita Gova's most
impressive dances
Mr. Gonzalez piano solo was
well received.-W NJ. H.
