The opponents, selected by
draw, we're paired for first round
play, but instead of meeting in
match play competition the win
ner is decided on the medal play
basis.
Nor is it necessary that the op-
ponentS step off the first tee
together. If they so desire, they
can play their 18-hole round at
their own convenience, notifying
the first-round opponent of their
score.
Miller Beats Gallagher
For instance, H. E. Miller de-
feated j. Gallagher in the first
round. Miller had a gross score
of 100 and a handicap of Is
strokes left him with a net of 80.
Gallagher scored 116. while a
handicap of 80 gave him 81.
Henry Rule, editor of the
National Capital Press, advanced
to the second finals by winning
over j. w. Newcomer. Rule
carded SO, 1872 to Newcomers
129, 35-94. R. F. Handley elimi-
mated j. A. Eppley, scoring 1913,
35-SS. to Eppley'S 1872, 29-1O3.
Other first-round pairings are
o. T. Wright VS.. Robert Raley,
D. S. White VS.. Frank Mischou,
J. B. Sullivan VS.. Anthony Guilli,
A. J. Goodman VS.. R. N. Shen-
berger and Charles Hunter VS..
William Teubner.
Wright Is Favored
o. T. Wright, president OF the
National Capital Press and win
ner of the Washington Typo
thetae tourney, is favored. He
will have strong opposition from
D. S. White, vice president, and
Henry Rule.
The 1882 club championship at
Chevy Chase is the property Of
Fred Hitz unless he breaks a leg
during the final 18-hole round to-
day. Hitz is far out in front
with a 54-hole total of 222, lead
ing C. AShmead Fuller by 13
strokes. Hitz spun II yesterday
whilst Fuller was adding 83
r. P. Davidson, defending
champion, pulled. up to within a
stroke of Fuller by scoring 78
yesterday. Frank Reside turned
in IS. but his first two rounds of
8S and 83 left him far behind
with 246.

TRADED MOUND.
ACES FAIL
By

NEW YORK, June 3O.-Paul
Andrews, whom 1 regard as
likely to establish himself some
day as a big league star,
stepped out with a victory over
the White Sox on his first ap-
pearance in a Boston uniform,
but later he found the going with
a tailend team bit too tough.
Andrews impressed me by his
willingness, his disposition. his
study of pitching and also by his
natural ability. He is not the
finished performer now that
Danny MacFayden figures to be,
because he lacks the experience
of the former Boston pitcher. But
in time I think Andrews is bound
to succeed.
Has Had Troubles
At any rate he has been hav-
ing his troubles, and the same
has been true of MacFayden.
Danny seemed way off form in
each of his first three starts
with our club. but it. undoubt-
edly, is merely a slump such as
all players experience. Henry
Johnson has had little oppor-
tunity as he went to his home
in Florida before reporting to the
Red SoX. $685..
Finds Going Tough
Jack Russell found the going
about as tough with the harder
hitting Cleveland club as he had
with the light hitting Red Sox.
Dick Coffman has been having
his troubles with the Senators,
and Carl Fischer, after winning
his first start in a st. Louis uni
form, ran into difficulties. Pete
Jablonowski showed some high
class pitching in his first effort
with the Red Sox, but he was not
fortunate enough to win. AL
Thomas has not figured to any
extent in the Washington box
scores since the deal which sent
him from the White Sox to the
OCl1dUO10'
It seems odd that these traded
pitchers should all fare so poorly
in their early games. There isn't
one in the lot who has not at
one time or another showed
enough natural ability to gain a
rating as an established star, or
as a highly promising youngster.
Thomas was one of the great
pitchers in our league during his
first four seasons with the White
Sox, and he seemed to be on his
way to a successful comeback
last year after a bad season in
1880. He is still young enough to
win back his place among the
leagues best boXmen.

Trailing Woefully during the
early innings Yesterday, the
Griffs showed plenty of fight
coming from behind to tie the
score twice-only to lose finally
to the Yankees 6 to S.
Sewell Socks 2 HOmerS
The Yankees, with Joey Sewell
socking out two home runs, took
an early lead against Gen. AL
vim Crowder, Manager Johnson's
starting pitcher. The Griffs got
one back off the coolest of
pitchers-Lefty Gomez of the
Yanks-by counting a marker in
the third on singles by Bluege
and Spencer and Judges fly to
Ruth leaving the YankS in the
lead 81.
Then came the seventh when
the Griffmen tied the score.
Cronin and Reynolds, first up
singled in succession. Sewell
picked up Vests bunt and threw
to Lazzeri forcing Reynolds at
second, Cronin taking third.
West then thefted second and
both he and Cronin scored on
OSSie Bludge's line single to left.
The Yanks, showing that they
had little fight themselves,
went out and collected two runs
for the lead again in their part
of the seventh. The Griffs, not
to be outdone, came right back
in the eighth and counted two
more to deadlock the score at
SIS.
Lefty Lloyd Brown was en-
trusted with the responsibilities
of holding things safe as the
Yankees came to bat in their half.
He couldn't get started right and
proceeded to walk Dickey, the first
batter to face him. Lazzeri and
Larry followed with base hits, and
the Yanks' margin of victory
crossed the plate.
Show Great Spirit
In defeat, however, the Griffs
demonstrated spirit which might
lend a helpful hand in future
games. First they showed a prom,
Use of the old fight which was
theirs during the early part of the
season, and second, they drove
Lefty Gomez, deSpiSed rival, from
the mound, thereby keeping him
from registering his fifteenth vic
tory of the season and his twelfth
straight.
George Pipgras was Gomez re.
lief, and by pitching the eighth
received credit for the triumph.
Brown was the losing pitcher be-
cause he entered the picture with
the score tied. Fred Marberry
hurled an inning, just by way of
not forgetting his part in the
game. He relieved Crowder in the
seventh and retired the side after
the YankS had scored their two
runs that inning. He was taken
out for Pinch Hitter Dave Harris
IN the eighth, who came through
with a line single to left starting
the Griffs' rally which tied the
count at SIS at that time.

MINES BATTLE
NEAR NORTH
POLE
By HARRY COSTELLO

On Wednesday afternoon l3
years ago a baseball game was
played at Economic, near Arch
angel, Russia.
That game marked the playing
of baseball as far north as it
has ever been played.
1t was a half-holiday, the first
half-holiday the doughboys had
between September 7, 1918, and
May %, 1919.

so willingly" says Col. Joel r.

1t was a pitchers battle during
the early frames of the contests,
but in the fourth inning M Com

attack.
Scored Five Runs
We scored five runs, enough
to win the game, as Bisonette

That disastrous fourth inning
spelled defeat for H. c.. as they
were able to score only twice.

One of the features Of the
game was the strike-out record
of the pitchers, reflected in the
number of putouts for both

made by Cameron, M CompanyS

a sensational one-handed catch

Jim REED WINS
FROM PORTNEY

Jimmy Reed, Erie (Pa) stall
wart, gave Jack Portney, Balti-
more southpaw a neat lacing last
night in the feature bout at Twin
City Arena, Laurel, Md.
Reed is probably the coolest
fighter to appear in local rings of
late. He fought straight up and
when Portney came tearing in,
he always had his stiff right hand
in his face. The judges awarded
Reed the decision unanimously.
Reds" Barry showed that he
could throw a right-hand and, as
q result, won unanimous decision
from Herman Weiner, another
Baltimore boy, in the semi-wind-
up. Barry looked mighty good.
Ray Bowen, Washington lad,
scored a technical knockout over

FLASH
EXPECTED
TO ENTER
By GINO SINH

This years District of Colum,
bia mems tennis tournament,
which will get under way at the
Wardman Park courts Saturday
afternoon, looms as the most
brilliant since the days when
. Fritz Mercur and Cedric Major
came down from up North TO
tussle with Tom Mangan and
Clarence Charest.
The prospective entry of sew
eral of the Army and Navy
Leech Cup players, augmented by
q couple of Baltimore's top
Fighters, and as fine a turnout
of local talent as has been seen
in many years, provides material
for an exciting and colorful
event. The entry in the singles
is expected to approximate the
hundred mark.
1t is understood that the Army
Leech Cup officials will permit
their leading players to partici-
pate in the tournament.
The Navy team, too, expects to
let a couple of its men skip
routine training for the Leech
Cup matches at Annapolis, so
that they can get in some stiff
hcks of work against strong foes.
Dolf Meuhleisen, the Pacific
Coast wizard. who holds down
the No. l post on the Army team,
Is seen as a participant and will
reign as an oddS-on favorite to
cop the "gilded chapeau."
Glass OF Field
He is in a class by himself
against the field, unless Eddie
Jacobs, the Baltimore cracker
jack, decides to step down for a
crack at the crown he won in
1927. However, Jacobs entry is
very unlikely.
Two other Army racqueters,
Lieut.. Stanley K. Robinson and
Major Robert Van Vliet, must be
figured as dangerous contenders.
Major Van Vliet won the title in
1928. If Lieutenant Smith, Navy's
No. 1 player, enters, he, too, must
be placed among the favorites.
Baltimore'S likely entry of Bob
Elliott, Alex KeileS and Elmer
Rudy must be given respectful
consideration.
However. Meuhleisen's main
threat will come from the D. C.
delegation, headed by the curly
headed master of the local
stables. Dooly Mitche ell, and
rounded out by Tom Mangan,
Bob Considine and Tom Markey.
Undisputed Caliber
The high caliber of these four
stalwarts is undisputed. In the
course of their tennis careers
they have faced distinguished
performers and have acquitted
themselves with high honor.
WaShington'S second line of
defense includes Clarence Charest,
for Is years a first class war
rior; Barney Welsh, an ambi-
tious youngster, and Joe Olhau-
sen, transplanted Philadelphian,
who several years ago was rated
as one of the best in the coun-
try. Olhausen hasn't been able
to show to advantage in local
play because his work prevents
him from getting in needed
practice.
Other lads who must be con-
sidered as likely to do some
"dope" toppling are Upshur Moor
head, Frank Shore, Gil Hunt,
Tony Latona, Maurice O'Neill
and Jock Mclean.
Divide Attention
Tom Moorehead and Kent
Boyle, D. C. junior champion and
runner-up, and BODY Doyle and
Stanley Dennison, D. C. boys
champion and runner-up, will di-
vide their attention between the
District and the Middle Atlantic
boys and Junior tournaments
which open at Baltimore tomor-
row.
Entries for the D. C. tourna-
ment singles close tomorrow at
s o'clock p. m. Entry fee is 81
per person in the singles and So
per team in the doubles. Entries
must be made with Bill ShreVe
at the Tennis Shop.

POLITICS ENTERS
CRUCIAL PERIOD
Roosevelt Will Be Near Ma.
jority Tomorrow Night If
Claims Are Realized.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Fastening its pace, national politics is
parading the names of Hoover and
Roosevelt, and the issues Of prohibition
and Federal relief, noisily toward June
and Chicago.
If Gov. Roosevelt receives all the
votes claimed for him. he will stand to-
morrow night very close to conven-
tion majority.
If President Hoover carries the Oregon
primary today. he will have indisputably
pledged to him enough delegates to
nominate.
For the Democrats, especially, the
third week Of May is writing important
history. A succession of speeches and
statements has evidenced growing de-
termination to write a Federal relief
plank into the party platform.
And the Roosevelt boom has rolled on.
Kansas, New Mexico, Montana, South
Carolina. Vermont and the District of
Columbia, by instruction or pledge, have
raised the total of the Roosevelt column
to 428, exclusive of New York and Penn
sylvania. where his managers claim
another 105. Tennessee and Oregon,
acting today, and Nevada, acting to-
morrow, promise to add 40 more.
That will make, in all, a claimed total
of 573, with only small percentage or
the claims disputed. A convention ma
jority is 578, and ITO are needed to
nominate. Nearly 200 remain to be
selected
1t deepens the conviction that Roose-
velt's problem will be, in the convention
itself, to pick off 100 or so recruits from
the ranks of the opposition.
The opposition appears just as de-
tern1ined as ever During the present
week Alfred E. Smith took the Con-
necticut delegation of Is, bringing his
total to 81, and an anti-Roosevelt dele
CATION of 80. also claimed for Smith
was chosen in New Jersey.
Among the Republicans, events have
rolled along conventionward with no
new sign of trouble. Prohibition still
agitates State conventions and candi-
dates everywhere, but quiet efforts at
a solution continues.

Auto Mishap on Congress Avenue Two Men and Boy Painful ly Injured Saturday
 Afternoon

Two men and boy suffered painful injuries Saturday afternoon when their automobile crashed into an iron pole on Congress avenue. The injured. who received treat ment at St Mary's hospital and who are at present patients at that institutoinf included Frank Linden, 36 of 1O5 Kelsey street, who suf- fered a fractured leg; Frank Filley of 30 Laval street, who suffered several fractured ribs and lacera- tions about the head and face and George Filley. 16. who was cut about the face, arms and neck and who suffered the loss of consider able blood before being admitted to the hospital. The .youngster was the most seriously injured Of the three. Francis Calvin of Laval street, the fourth passenger in the car, escaped injury.
 Linden was driving the machine at the time of the accident. Near the corner of Congress avenue and Greenmount terrace a truck dri- ven by Trore Gugliotti of Bishop street swung onto the avenue and Linden became confused and ap- parently lost control of the car, which swerved suddenly and col lided with the pole.
