Playing 36 holes over the Chevy
Chase course recently Lunn put
together rounds of 76 and SO, the
latter being even par for the 18-
hole distance.
The 76 was due to a frightful
first nine of AZ, but he recovered
sensationally on the first seven
holes of the second nine, bagging
six brides. Then he cracked on
the last two holes but finished

Only II Years Old
Lunn is but II years of age
and is student at Friends School
here. He does most of his golfing
over the Burning Tree and Chevy
Chase courses.
Young Lunn, it has been pre-
dicted, has a bright future in golf,
and this year may see him figur-
ing prominently in the tourna-
ments of this section.
The youngster is looking ahead
to the annual Chevy Chase invi-
tation tournament the middle of
the month and would like to
have his name inscribed on the
historic Taft cup, the honor
which belongs to the winner.
Extends Course Courtesy
While the Chevy Chase course
is crowded with women golfers
competing in the finals Of the
Keefer Cup tournament today,
the Columbia Country Club has
extended the courtesy of its
course to it's neighboring club.
Mrs. Alma Won STEINER, Con-
gressional, Country Club, and Miss
Winifred Faunce, were dead
locked with net scores of 80 at
the end of the first 18 holes yes
terday. Mrs. Won Steinner
crossed 81 and carries handicap
of IL strokes. Miss Faunce had
medal of 86 and is handicapped
at 6 strokes.

Mrs. j. Marvin Haynes, of Co.
lumbia Country Club and woman's
Middle Atlantic champion, had
second low gross score with 81.
Mrs. Betty Palmer Meckley, OF
Indian Spring and woman's Dis

card. She was caught in down
pour and added too many strokes
to her card.
Over 100 women golfers started
and only q failed to turn in
cards. Many of the entrants fin
ished despite lightning flashes

ing activity, with home run
with two men on bases when the
score was tied at to 3, enabling
the Yanks to win. That was
on Patriots Day in Boston and
there had been a morning game
in which Lazzeri appeared as a
pinch hitter only, obliging with
Q double which didn't save the
game for the Yanks, but which
proved to Mccarthy that a slug
ger was sitting on the bench.
Yes, sir, the Lazzeri and Judge
cases are almost parallel and it
must be said to the credit Of
both Saltzgaver and Kuhel, who
are now watching their elders
perform from the bench, that it
is only their hard luck that they
are trying to fill the shoes of

The Yanks not only have played
like champions since the start of
the season but have looked the
part-much to the discomfort of
the Philadelphia AS, 1881 title
winners.
New York scribes are taking up
the cry, as they, too, vision posi-
bilities of a championship team
under Manager Joe McCarthy's
wing this year. Frank Buck)
O'Neill, of New York American,
writes along these lines:
philadelphia critics are shak-
ing dOIefuI heads and looking
to Harlem as the site of the
American League half of the
world series. Perhaps they're a
bit premature in awarding the
bunting to the McCarthymen.
Yet the fact will stand that the
Yankees showed far more power
than the Athletics during the
recent games with that club,
and in Ivy Paul Andrews seem
to have uncovered one of the
pitching sensations of the sea-
son. It's great to have the
YankS going so well especially
with the Washington Senators
in town, for if the Yanks can
club Manager Walter JOhnSOn'S
team into submission like the
AS we're clubbed, then every
thing will be in perfect con-
troll"
Of the many features about
the performance of the YankS so
far this season, one has been
the recent hitting of frankie
Crosetti, Pacific coast rookie; an
other the home-run hitting OF
the entire club.
Couldn't Get Going
To discuss Crosetti first, this
youngster couldn't get started at
bat during the first few games
of the season, but Manager Nc
Carthy always had this to say
to his sensational prospect:
Don't worry, kid; you'll
start polling them sOOn."
Which is just what he has
done of late. Crosetti had field
day at bat in his teams game
against the Boston Red Sox Sun
day, He Socked out three doubles
and a single and got a walk be,
sides for a perfect average for
the day. Manager Mccarthy sees
a continuation of this sort OF
hitting from Crosetti now because
of his day Of days, Sunday.
In regard to the home-run hit
ing, Sundays game marked the
first time this season that the
Yanks have not gotten a couple
of circuit clouts. They won, az
known, but not a single homer
included itself in the scoring
records.
Collected 20
The incident offered a lot il
news for Gotham scribes who hac
gotten used to including home rur
paragraphs in their daily stories
The Yanks have collected 20 since
the start of the season.
In summary of all this, it ap
pears as if the Griffman ART

The Washington times., 1932-04-26


The Judge and Lazzeri cases
are so much alike they amount
to a coincidence. For some
never explained reason both
their managers seemed bound
to break in new material for
their posts, despite the fact few
baseball observers, if any, be-
lieved either of them was
through as a performer of high,
major league caliber.

WEAKNESS
BY GARRETT WATERS.
Times staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, April 26.-The
splendid pitching which Monte
Weaver has turned in so far this
season for the Griffmen was
topic of much discussion among
baseball men here today.
1t is the consensus of opinion
that Manager Johnson has been
blessed with undeniable fortune
this year. To make it complete
Johnson himself agrees and can't
keep from raving over the en-.
couraging work of the new star
of the day as far as the Griffs
are concerned.
THE best thing about
Weaver" chinS Johnson, sis
that he won't let himself be-
come bothered when facing
FOxx, Simmons, COchrane, and
other batters of the wallOping
sort.
"We've told him, as best we
know, their weaknesses and
he's remembered and pitched to
their weaknesses. The result?
His three-game wining record
for the early season tells a lit
tie story of his success"
Weaver is to get his chance to
face the Yankees before the games
with Manager McCarthy's club
are ended, according to Johnson.
Will Pitch at Home
He will not be starter in this
short series which concludes after
tomorroW's contest, but he will be
given the nod when the YankS
visit Washington next week.
"It will be interesting to
watch how he pitches to Ruth,
Gehrig, Byrd, Chapman, Gro.
Setti and all of the other Yank
sluggers," said johnson, still
chinnings away. But 1 think
he'll come through all right
because he's the right type for
a winning pitcher. Big batters,
bowling crowds and publicity
doesn't seem to faze him in
the least, and that's good
reason why he no doubt will
beat the Yanks as he did
the AS"
The Griffs were rained out
with the Yanks here yesterday.
The game was not called for the
rain, however, at the hour OF
cancellation. 1t was because OF
the cold weather which struck
Gotham suddenly. The rain came

means that Gen. Alvin CTowder

Fischer Against AS
This also means that Carl
FiScher-supposed to get tomor'
rows game against the Mccarthy
men-will pitch against the AS
Thursday. when the Griffs return
home to open a three-game series
with Connie Mack's men at Grit
fifth Stadium. It's too bad, from
FiScher's view on things, as ne
surely was anxious to face the
Yanks as starter.
However, he'll probably work
against the McCarthymen even
though it won't be in starting
capacity. Manager Johnson has
utmost faith in the youngSter as
relief man as we'll as starter.
All of which pictures the idea
that he'll no doubt be used to

 The rugged topography of the Asian hinterland was clearly illus trated. Dr Granger described the severe sand storms and cold wea- ther of the Asian plains He said that the least of his finds was the dinosaur eggs which have been rlund in many places before.
 His listeners were informed of how the Andrews expedition deter- mired just where fossils might be found.s Motion pictures showed small sections of fossil remains ap- bearing above the ground and the diggers brushing and digging until the bones were brought to light.

SERIOUS DEFENSE

Fire apparatus responded to three calls yesterday, one for a small fire in an automobile owned by Michael Liguinoldi of Bishop street and the second for a defec- tive chimney in the home of Mrs Mabel Moulthrop of 14e North Main street, A short circuit was responsible for, the auto fire. No damage of any consequence result ed In either case.
 Later yesterday afternoon false alarm was registered from Box 323 at the corner of Washington ave- nue and Porter street. It made a total of 12 false alarms for the present month and 16 within q period of 22 days. At an estimated cost of $50 for each alarm the needless expense to the city is made plainly evident. Fire and po- lice officials are cooperating in an endeavor to discourage the prac- tice.
 The first one arrested and con- victed of sending in false alarm to the fire department will most likely be- made an example of in police court to prevent others from playing jokes" on the department.
