HELPS WIN
GAMES
By GARRETT WATERS


every once in a while, those Phila-
delphia AS. Also they might, by
losing, drop a point or two in
favor of the Washington Griff-
men in this pennant race, but
those same Philadelphia AS still
have the faculty of slugging out
hits for runs when they're needed,
it is revealed after a close scan.
ming of the records.
Take yesterdays contest, for
instance, with the Cleveland In
dians. The AS were very much
behind, / to 0, until the seventh
inning when they decided that
something must be done about
it. And to show that they could
do something about it, they
jumped on Willis Hudlin, Indian
pitcher, for three markers which
proved the ball game as the
final score of 4 to ! brings out.
True, they added another in the
eighth, but that was for measure.
Teams Up Against 1t
This sort of playing is what
every team is up against in en-
gaging Connie Mack's men.
There was pitcher in Hudlin
who had hurled his head off for
seven innings only to become a
victim of the gray horde's avail
anche of base knocks that ruined,
not only his afternoon but every
body else's afternoon who wanted
to see the AS beaten and beaten
decisively, no matter what the
score.
"The only thing to do in
case of this kind is to coin as
many runs as you possibly can
in the early innings to defeat
. them" says Manager Walter
Johnson. "And then you had
better have about three relief
hurIers working in the bull pen
in order to check any rally
which might arise"
The Washington Griffmen are
pointing every day for their meet
ing with the AS here beginning
Sunday, July S, and running
through Tuesday, July 7.
To defeat them will turn the
race toward the general direc-
ton of the Griffs, is the way
Manager Johnson's players feel
about it. It all looks like this
series will be a battle for real
blood.
Hebert HurIs Today
There is one pitcher who lasted
the full route recently after his
team had gained an early lead.
He is none other than Wallace
Hebert, st. Louis Browns rookie.
Hebert rocked the baseball ma
tion with startling gasps when
he hurled and defeated the AS
last week.
He is to show his wares
against the Griffmen today as
the St. Louis Browns play
their third game Of their cur.
rent series here. A large
crowd should turn out even
though they will hope that
Hebert doesn't defeat the
Griffmen, who are a fighting
ball club these days.
Another youthful left-hander,
probably with more experience
than Hebert, will be on the
mound for Manager Walter
johnson. He is Carl Fischer, he
with the fast ball and sharp
breaking curve. A real left
handlers battle is the prospect.
There were no trades pulled
off by Uncle Clark Griffith,
president of the Griffmen, as the
player trade deadline ended at
midnight last night. This means
that Griff and johnson figure to
stand pat on their present team.

MRS. HILL SETS
GOLF RECORD

Mrs. Mae Hill, who posted a
new women's course record of SO
for the IA" course at Rock Greek
Park, will prove a stout opponent
for rivals in match play rounds
for the public parks champion
ships. Women's par for 18 holes
at Rock Greek Park is 70. Mems
par "a" course is "a.
The 38 scored by Mrs. Hill en-
abled her to take down the quail
flying medal, covering the B"
course in 48 strokes. This round
Of 86 for 18 holes placed her a
stroke ahead of Miss Virginia
Williams. Mrs. Hill nearly threw
away the medal on the eighteenth
by going into the trap at the
green, but managed to hole out in
seven strokes.
According to Harry Graham,
manager of Rock Creek Park,
Mrs. Hill plays all her shots
well. She hits a long ball off
|. the tee and Is deadly with her
irons, declares Graham.
Miss Williams, who is tutored
by Sandy Armour, pro at the
Congressional Country Club,
played in last years public parks
courses, though playing in numer-
GUS tournaments as from Con-
gressional Country Club where
her father holds membership.
Match play rounds are to start
today, but opponents can play

HUNTERS SCORE
So To WIN

Looks as though there's no
stopping J. Munro Hunter. sr., pro
at the Indian Spring Golf Club,
in best ball tournaments.
Playing with his son, Hunter ac-
counted for first place in the pro-
amateur sweepstakes of the Mid
die Atlantic Professional Golfers
Association over the Maryland
Country Club course in Baltimore.
They had a better ball of IS, six
strokes under par. They had a
better ball of 80 going out and 33
on the home trip.
The senior Hunter covered the
first nine in blazing 33, but re-
quired 80 on the inward trip for a
70. This placed him fourth in the
individual sweepstakes for pros.
The individual sweepstakes
went to AL HOughtOn, of Ken.

68, three under par. George
Diffenbaugh, assistant pro at

Too Long and Bulky

Now that everybody is satisfied that Joe Cronn has
broken his hitting streak by playing throughout Sunday
eighteenth game in which he injured and had to leave
without making hit and pass judgment without appearing
to be guilty of ese maeste to very popular baplayer
not only in Washington but throughout the country.
We believe that the league official in fact league
official and Uncle Clark Griffith and all the others
who maintained Cronins batting streak unbroken in
that eighteenth game quite wrong. They in turn
by their attitude in the matter would say wrong

WOMEN PLAY
FOR DOUBLES
NET TITLE
BY GINO SINH

Equipped with a wider variety
of strokes, speedier afoot and
having greater share of natural
tennis talent, Mrs. Ruth Martinez
and Frances Walker loom large
as the Women's District Tennis
League doubles champions.
They are playing the finals
with Dorothy Kingsbury and
Cecyle Raver on the Dumbarton
Courts. The Kingsbury-Raver
duo are noted for steadiness and
persistency.
The Martinez-Walker machine
had little trouble blasting Mary
Ryan and Carolyn Jansen out of
the way, 60. 60, yesterday,
while Betty Cochran and Mar
garet Graham made the going
a little hard for Kingsbury-Raver,
but succumbed 7-5, 60.

summer, for Carolyn Jansen
left shortly liter her doubles
match yesterday for Boston.
She will play in numerous
tournaments around that section
and will return in time for the
Wardman Park tournament, late
in the fall.
A wistful, modest little maid
won the District girls playground
singles tennis title, and thereby
established herself as a future
power in local women tennis. She
is Ruth Brown.
Ruth found Mildred Hook a
pretty determined young lady,
but she bided her time and tri-
umphed, 1913, 6--3. Her superior
steadiness and alert playing gave
her the edge over her more tlashy
but erratic opponent, who was in
clined to double-faulting at vital
moments.

STAR MAT GARD.
FOR THURSDAY

"The greatest wrestling show
ever presented in the District
of Columbia"
That's what Promoter Joe
Turner says of the Job Fund
wrestling benefit Thursday night
at the Clark Griffith Stadium.
Never before has such a col
lection of graphing artists ap-
peared on the same card and the
manner in which the tickets are
being sold indicates that a crowd
of close to 10000 fans will be on
hand.
It's difficult to pick out any
bout that should be outstanding.
All the wrestlers billed have repu-
tations here and each is a head
liner in the profession.
Local fans were pleased to
learn that Promoter Turner de-
cided to pit Sergei KalmikOff
the bearded wrestler, against
Dick Shikat instead Of giving
the honor to Wladek ZbySzkO.
The latter is also q top-nO:sher
but KalmikOff will make y bet
ter match of it because he IS
as strong as the Washington
Monument.
Then there should be a whale
of a battle between Rudy Dusek
and Jim McMillen. These two
have a host Of admirers here and
neither can afford to take any
chances as both want to get a
shot at Jim Londos' title. This
means that victory Thursday
night will put them closer to a
match with Londos.

NO-H|T GAME
ANNEXED BY
!, ST. PAUL

Since its inception. The Times
League, in its entirety, has not
seen activity all in the same day.
But from all present indications
1t Is most likely that every team
will see action at the same time.
Saturday found 96 teams waging
battles on their respective battle
fields.
The playing of 96 teams further
enhances the previous statement
that all teams will see action
within two weeks. One hundred
and sixty-seven games have been
played in the last three weeks.
The significance of which proves
that the mammoth program The
Times loops originally planned
will be carried out to the nth
degree.
Wonder Boys Win Again
1t seems inevitable that the
Wonder Boys be kept out in
the limelight. Once again Rodney
Bell, pitching ace of the Wonder
Boys. held his opponents to a
meager amount of hits. He per-
mitted three hits and one run,
while his teammates collected
II hits and 3 runs.
Two of these runs came
in the eighth inning. when
Bell singled to center, scOr-
ing two of his teammates.
This was the deciding factor
of the game.
st. Paurs Boys Club, one OF
the newer teams in The Times
League, trounced the Nehi Mid
gets to the tune of "a to 0. The
fact that the score indicates an
erroring ball game or a SlugfeSt,
neither was the case. The Nehi
aggregation kept switching pitch
ers SO frequently that the st.
Paul Club found their pitchers
for numerous hits. But the beau
tiful part of this game was the
pitching of Shamleffer.
ShamIeffer, Of the St.
Pauls, did not allow any hits
nor runs. He is the first
pitcher in The Times League
to pitch nO-hit-nO-ruM game.
