That some of such apprehe1-

is justified in the fact Judge
Lands has put a three-day rest
in between the closing of the
regular season Sunday, Sep
tember 81, and the start of the
big classic, Thursday, october /.
Anyway, the baseball fan is a
peculiar species, and should it
so happen the AS again triumph
over the Cardinals the st. Louis
fan will claim the series was
lost in small-town exhibition
games, what with the stars,
whose presence is insisted upon
in the exhibition contracts,
shooting their works in Peoria,
Grand Rapids and way stations.
The Peoria game was a night
game, under artificial lights, of

contest a daytime affair. The

c. v. BACKF|ELD
ACE ON SHELF

CAMP LET'S. Md, Sept. IL
Lee Carlin, backfield ace of the
George Washington University
football eleven, most likely will
miss the first two or three games
this season.
Two weeks ago Carlin was in
jured in an automobile accident
in his home town, suffering a
long cash on the back of his
neck. 1t required many stitches
to close the wound.
Carlin reported to camp here,
hopeful that he would be able
to get in condition, but the
wound became infected. AS a
result, he can hardly twist his
neck and has been unable to
take part in the drills.
Yesterday one Of the stitches
broke. which added further de-
lay to his improvement. About
his only training is a slow jog
around the track in the fashion
of that 92-year-old walker, Dan
OLeary.
Carlin will not be able to take
part in the hard drills until the
wound heals. This most prob
ably will be a week or 10 days
at most. which will retard his
conditioning. He is too valuable
to rush into one Of the earlier
games in an unfit condition.

Injury Painful
Since that disastrous double
header last Saturday in winch the
Griffmen lost both games, West
has not played. Manager john
son, realizing what pain it was
for his star outfielder to continue,
pulled him from the lineup, and
he has been out ever since.
"My arm certainly did hurt
in that double-header," said
West last night, coming down
on the train from Philadelphia.
But it's feeling better now.
In fact / have been able to
take batting practice the last
two days. And that's certainly
= help"
So it seems the Griffmen have
a casualty in their midst in Sam
West, even though he is bothered
only at times. A thorough ex-
animation, even an operation, is
the thing figured to completely
bring him around.
West will be able to play again
in the next two or three days,
according to johnson and Mar
tin. The pain will have left by
that time, they say. But, really,
wouldn't it be better if Sam was
o. K. altogether? It would be a
sorry thing for the Griffmen to
have to lose such a hall-playing
fool as the fleet center fielder
going on the thought. of course,
that his ailment might ecome
more serious if neglected.

BREAKS NOSE

Old man jinx continues to hover
around the football camp of the
Catholic University Cardinals.
Yesterday he took his toll on
Francis Donaher. young halfback,
while the Cardinals were in scrim-
mage. Donaher suffered a broken
nose.
He will be out for at least
two weeks, maybe longer. This
is the second injury in two
years that DOnaher has re-
ceived while in training with
the Catholic University eleven.
Last year, in the midst Of a
good showing, Donaher broke his
leg, ending his activities for the
year.

FOR CLASH

A real battle is expected on the
South Ellipse at 4::30 this after.
noon, when the Eldbrooke Church
nine and the Commerce Depart
ment team meet in one of the
crucial games Of the weekday
series.
A win by Commerce will give
it a better grip on first place, as
they have to date won two and
lost one, while if the Eldbrooke
Churchmen win, they will become
the league leaders.
In yesterdays game the Com
mercemen won an easy SO victory
over the Government Printing
Office nine. Riley, of the Com
merce team, pitched his usual fine
game, with but three hits, two of
them accounting for one of the
Typos runs in the seventh.
Pete Ingram started the game
for the Printers, but he gave
way to Lyons in the third after
four runs had been scored on
him. Lyons gave two more runs
in the fourth, but then he
settled down and was not scored
upon for the last four innings
(the game had to be called after
eight innings on account of
darkneSS). Altogether the Com.
merce nine garnered IL hits,
three of which were made by
Pitcher Riley himself. Lewis
and Singman also got three safe
ties each.

This means another trip to
some whack doctor this winter in
the idea of getting next to his
trouble and ending it for once
and for all.
AS matters now stand, the
soreness in Sammys arm is not
real serious. But it can become
very important, in fact shorten
his big league days, if he doesn't
see some doctor in the near
future.
The exact soreness hits West in
his lower arm, from the elbow
down. It's not in his shoulder
as might be thought.
Rest Important
This fact not only keeps
Sammy from throwing. but
makes it impossible for him to
swing a bat-explaining reasons
why he must idle when the all
ment, hits him-and idle COM
pletely.
After conferences, Manager
Johnson and Trainer Mike
Martin have agreed that only
rest will help Sammy during
his Sieges-which have hit sew
eral times this season.
They have arrived at this con-
cluSion because the team as a
whole needs West, and can't
spare him for the length of time
an operation would take at the
present moment.
Thus, the rest and idleneSS West
gets. when the soreness suddenly
develops in his arm.
This latest soreness hit Sammy

ton recently, or for the series they
played before coming home from
their last Western trip

ing contest of the series. and West

nual Columbia Country Club golf
championship will be held Octo-
Der 7 and 8, with 18 holes each

Play will be confined to six
divisions. The cil a m p ionship
flight is limited to players with
handcaps of 8 and under; second

What About Injuries?

A team in the championship
money that gets through 80 per
cent of the season uninjured
should nurse its luck. not tempt
1t. It was noticeable to all
hands, in the meantime, that
the Cardinals made a miserable
showing in Pittsburgh following
the exhibition stops, and all
these circumstances nave
aroused the National League fol-
lowing no, little.
To add to such fears, the
Cardinals have a good pitcher
on the shelf and right now
there is no certainty Jess
Haines will be available for
the series. He's cropped up
with "tetch" of rheumatics for
some such ailment, it may be
neuritis, but whatever it is, it's
mo fun" as us kids used to
say when we got stung by a
bee.
The Washington times., 1931-09-10

Of course all this is true only
in case the Cards and AS are
the contestants and it is fair
enough at this stage to assume
they will compete for baseball's
golden gonfalon.
Meanwhile out in st. Louis
the fans are no little disturbed
over the fact exhibition games
are being played by the Car
dinalS on open dates.
The Washington times., 1931-09-10

At least three more strong
elevens are needed to complete
the league. Probably Homestead
and Lansdown teams of Balti-
more will join.
One Of the main troubles will
be securing playing fields. The
Hawks have the use Of the Ameri-
can League Park and the Celtics
have Baggett's Stadium in Alex
andria, but with six teams an
other. enclosed park will be
needed. If the Baltimore foot
ballers come in they may secure

NEW YORKER
GIVEN BIG
EDGE
BY MICHAEL ]. FOSTER

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept.
10.-John Hope Doeg, California's
bronzed redwood, who has reigned
as king Of American tennis for
one none to glorious year, is due
to step down from his throne
this afternoon, when the quarter
finals of the fiftieth annual
mems national singles champion
ships are contested.
Unless the dope" is thrown
for a complete loss Francis x.
Shields, the lanky New Yorker
who Doeg beat in the memorable
1880 final for the title, will beat
the champion. And the most
turbulent reign of a tennis king
in the history Of American sports
will thus be brought to close.
DOeg Gone Back
Doeg has gone back, a long,
long way back, since he outlasted
Shields in their stirring 1914
fourth set last September. The
new Yorker, in contrast, has
made rapid strides forward.
While the champion was
being beaten in every one Of,
his major tournament starts
this summer the boy he con.
quered for the crown was win.
ming Davis cup laurels abroad.
Judged by every standard by
which the outcome of a clash
between two tennis giants can
be foretold, Shields should beat
Doeg. Davey Jones, a player
who would not get two games a
set from frankie, beat the cham
pion at Montclair; Ellsworth
Vines turned the trick at both
Longwood and Seabright; Greg
Mangin trounced him at South
ampton: Sidney Wood made him
look futile at Newport.
Jacobs Forced Him
Nor has Doeg's play this week
been at all encouraging. Eddie
Jacobs, who hadn't played for q
month before the nationals, made
him travel five sets; Ned Hern-
don, a comparative unknown,
took a set from Johnny and so
did Bryan Grant, diminutive
Southerner.

former shipping clerk, whose dabbling

today.
The Financial wizard" who was
called the "One-Man Mint" because
he was reputed to have paid his friends
and neighbors as high as so per cent
on their investments with him, formal
ly announced last night that he was
penniless and through.
Enemies" whom he did not name
specifically, were blamed by Benham
for the bursting of the money bubble
which has kept this town in a state of
excitement for more than year. His
business consisted Of borrowing money
on Judgment notes and the purchase Of
bankrupt stocks, which were turned at
considerable profits. The notes called
for 6 per cent interest but there was
an understanding that a greater return
than that would be paid investors He
bought homes, automobiles and other
articles that could be resold quickly,
No revelation was made as 70 now

Benham's affairs were under investi-

no action was taken. States Attorney
Alexander j. Storm, however, said the
matter would be taken up again next
Monday.
