Boxing for Washington

We were met at the airport
by Jack Hartman, rehabilita-
ton representative for the
American Legion in this dis
trict, and he had already re-
Ceived a copy from Washington
of this column of last Satur-
day, wherein we promised to do
what we could to assist the Le-
gion in getting a boxing law
for the District of Columbia.
Hartman was armed with a
copy of the Illinois boxing
code, which reads to us like
a very sensible boxing regula-
ton. We will go into details
of it later on in the campaign
we hope to conduct in behalf
of boxing for Washington.
Jack was kind enough to
bring along for conference with
US. Gen. John V. Clinnin, a Le-
gionnaire, who is chairman OF
the Illinois and National Box
ing Association Commission.
You will note that Mr.. Hart

stop. The water god was firm,
however. and refused to cut off
the flow.
1t was first predicted that the

that this number will be sur

go as high as 10000, which will
be a new high-water mark for

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Gen. Alvin

Sam Jones are slated TO pitch
for the Griffmen in the remain
ing games against the Chicago
White Sox. Manager johnson in
timated today.
Crowder is to get the call to-
Cay, Burke tomorrow and Jones
Friday, according to the plan.
Bringing this trio into action
means that the lett-handers,
Brown and Fischer, will not get
a starting call until the st. Louis
series. which opens Saturday.
A double-header is to be played
in st. Louis, incidentally. 1t Is
scheduled for Sunday. A new
policy is in order.
Double Up On Sunday
Because the Browns nave not
drawn so we'll at any time this
season, Owner Phil Bail has been
doubling up every SUNDAY re-
Gently, moving up eacn Monday
game to Sunday as part of twin
bill and leaving the blue day.
idle.
Manager johnson is hopeful
that his pitching selections for
the remaining games of the
White Sox series will prove a
clean sweep.
Crowder and Burke, he knows,
go exceptionally we'll against the
Bushmen, while he figures Jones,
with all the rest he's had since
his last start, should turn in a
victory. Speaking of Jones. John
son says he's the sort of picther
at this stage of his career who
must be nursed along at every
turn.
The Griffmen got off to a
good start in their first game
against the Chicago White Sox
yesterday. Fred Marberry was
in his usual excellent fettle and
thereby hung up his thirteenth
triumph of the season. The final
score was 3 to 0.
Big Fred granted three hits in
turning in his hard earned effort.
But one Sox player reached third
base off of his deliveries while
only two got as far as second.
In all, Fred had Manager Bush'S
men eating out of his hand.
Marberry Hurls Great
The Griffs pushed over two
runs in the fourth and one in
the sixth to win. Urban Red)
Faber, the SoX Spitball artist,
opposed Marberry on the mound.
He hurled a game he would
have won nine times out of
ten, but he had to bow, c7l7eEsy
because Marberry was better
than he, and because his mates
could not get any runs for him
Sammy West continued to sock
the ball in his newly established
form by collecting two hits, both
OF which sent in runs.
Faber handed the Griffs one Of
the two runs they scored in the
fourth. Sam Rice, first up. dou-
bled to left center and went to
third on Heine Manush's hot drive
to Reynold in right.
With the squeeze play on, Gro
min bunted, and Faber, attempt
ing to get Rice at the plate, threw
wildly to CRUDE, allowing Rice to
score easily, also allowing Cronin
to take second. Vests bingle, as
