GR|FFS STRIVE
To GAIN EDGE :
ON BROWNS
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 8.-Gain-
ing second place on this western
trip-their last of the years. the
chief incentive of the Griffs, as
most every one knows.
But "our boys" hold another
aim-an extra special one in this
instance-as they tackle the st.
Louis Browns in brief three
game series starting today.
It is the ambition to take the
series with that team for the
season. Manager Johnson's men
have grabbed 10 decisions this
year from their supposed iinx
rivals, while they have dropped
nine games.
So the necessity of winning at
least two contests in this brief
stay here faces the Griffs if they
are to realize their special aim.
Checkmate Browns
Figures reveal that the Browns
took seven out Of the first eight
games from the Griffs this
spring. Beginning July IA, the
Griffs held their own and have
gained an edge since. The
Browns grabbed four straight
from the Griffs the first time
they faced them at Griffith
Stadium this year. They fol-
lowed this up with three tri-
umphs out of four in a series
played at st. Louis.
Then came the July IA turn
around in affairs, with the Griffs
the avenging team. Manager
Johnson's men, in the middle
of a grand winning squirt, de-
feated the Killifer men four
straight at Griffith Stadium, and
then managed to get an even
break at st. Louis during the
second Western series.
Three In Row
Late last month the Griffs made
great strides by taking" their
supposed jinx rivals three times in
a row, which bracket Of triumphs
gained the ten-to-nine lead they
now hold over them.
The pilot plans to use Weaver,
Thomas and either Crowder or
Marberry in the order named in
the three games.

'BLJD MARKEY BIDS FOR LOST TENNIS PRESTO
ONLY PLAYED
ONE TEST
THIS YEAR
BY GINO SINH

What of Bud" Markey, the
former Notre Dame net ace and
fourth ranking D. c. player, who
was hailed far and wide as the
likely star of this year locally?
Followers of the biff-bang
game (ponderers of many ques-
tions) are pondering this ques-
tion on the eve of the Wardman
Park tennis tournament, the
final all-star melee of the season.
Bud a likeable, earnest young
fellow, hasn't been able to do
himself justice this year, through
no fault of his. His work has
kept him from getting in the
practice necessary to keep him
in top trim.
He made only one singles ap-
pearance this year. He played
in the District tournament and
was victiInized by Gilbert Hunt IN
the fourth round.
Regain Prestige
He had an excellent chance
of regaining some of his lost
prestige by making a fine show
ing in the coming event. In
fact, with a little luck, he may
do wonders, for he has the game.
Tom Mangan, veteran Of many
local tournaments, will have to
forego the Wardman singles
much to his regret.
He is scheduled to be in New
York over the weekend, and the
tournament opens Saturday after
noon. However. he hasn't aban'
doned all hopes.
Mangan has never missed being
rated in the District during the
past ten years, but if he does not
participate in the coming tourna'
ment, he will be out due to in
sufficient data.
Two Tournaments
It is necessary that a player
play in at least two local tourna'
ments to be eligible for considera,
ton. To date Mangan has only
played in one, the City of Wash
ington tournament, early this
spring.
Clarence Charest, another vet.
eran performer, who is attracting
considerable attention at Forest
Hills in his battle to regain the
national veteran singles crown,
which was his in 1929, may also
no MISSING %sfrnS14-, the wardn q n
event.
The strain of week of hard
play such as he has been under
going at Forest Hills would not
permit him to exhibit his best
game. However. Charest is noted
for his stamina and courage and
may decide to play, after all.

ARRANGE GAME
FOR WINNERS

The winner of Saturdays Po-
ce-Firemen baseball game will
play the Departmental League
champions at Griffith Stadium
on a date to be decided later.
Yesterday the Bureau Investi-
cation diamonders were smoth-
cred by the G. P. o. nine, 13
to 8, in the first of a three-game
series to determine the Depart
mental League championship.
More than 500 fans saw the list
less game.
Pete Ingrams hurting was the
bright spot, allowing the losers
but seven scattered bingles. The
teams clash again today at 4:30
o'clock at the Griffith Stadium.

Flester, who organized the
District grid league five years
ago, plans to continue it's activ-
tiles again this season, although
there will be several changes.
An important meeting will be
conducted tonight at 8 o'clock
at the French'S Sport Store, 910
Fourteenth st. N. w, and man
ayers wishing to enter their
teams in the 1876, $50 and un-
limited classes are urged to re-
port promptly.
Slight Changes
One important change in the
leagues policy is that no news
paper will sponsor it.
Last year some of the out
standing football teams. in the
city competed in the league and
the way things appear just as
many will vie for the various
championships of the loop the
approaching campaign.
Warwicks Show Skill
Under the watchful and criti-
cal eye of Coach Carlton Petit,
the Warwick 15O-pounders are
making headway in their drills.
Last night 25 huskies reported
for practice and after a two-hour
workout the coach was pleased
with the showing of his charges.
He says that his eleven is not
the best in its class, but it is a
mighty fine team.
Joe Sweeney, fleet backfield
man Of the Mohawks, will coach
the Stanton 15O-pound gridders
the forthcoming season. The
Stantons will hold their initial
practice of the season Sunday
morning at II o'clock on the
washington Terminal field.

BALD|NG STARS
IN POLO Win

WESTBURY, N. Y, Sept. 8.
Polo to the kid born in the
shadow of the gas house is a
sissy" game in which the ponies
do all the work and the players
do all the posing for pictures.
Polo as played yesterday on
International Field, where the
young Greentree team eked out
an extra-period, 11-to-10 victory
over Eastcott and thus earned
the right to play Templeton in
the finals of the national open
championship on Saturday, is a
nerve-tingling, pulsating game
which is apt to tear the heart
right out of a player unless that
heart is pretty well attached.
A last chukker rush by East
colt which netted three goals
tied the score and neceSsitated
an extra Sudden death" period.
The ball was centered and
Shunted into a melee Of ponies
hoofS, and mallets. Every player
was trying to get that ball.
Balding rode into the melee,
literally stole the ball, tapped it
away from Hopping, Sr., wheeled
his pony as Strawbridge came
roaring up and then with pretty
off-side back-hand stroke hit it
straight and true through the up
rights for the goal which ended
the game and gave Greentree the
victory and the right to play Tenn
pleton for the polo championship
Of the United States on Saturday

to the worlds championship, in
spite of the latter's record rounds
in the British and American
events that's one part of the

FRIENDSHIP OR
 DUTY IS ISSUE
 IN WAR DRAMA
Doomed Battalion l
 Scheduled to Show Thursday at Capitol

Can a man choose between friendship and a duty to coun- try?
 Such perplexing dilemma con- fronts Victor varconi, featured player in Universal's latest war drama, The Doomed Battalion, l" which begins showing Thursday at the Capitol theatre.
 Story of Friendship
 The gripping story concerns the deep friendship of an Italian gem tlaman and his, Austrian mountain guide, welded by dangers shared ill scaling together the precipitous peaks of the Tyrol War intervenes to pit them against each other in a struggle to possess a strategic Alpine peak, and military orders force them to plot for each others destruction.
 Suspense Runs High
 Situations result where suspense runs high and action brings a series of exciting climaxes. There are scenes of rushing Alpine ava : lanches sweeping to destructio l. and the dynamiting of mountain provides one of the tremendous spectac1es.
 Tala Birell, the exotic star, plays the leading feminine role.

Spider" Begins Its Pres, entation Tonight at
 Coliseum Theatre

Marie Antoinette, Anne Boleyn, Katherine Parr, Lady Jane Gray and Manya Roberti all had their heads cut off but Manya was the only one to recover her top piece and her health. The reason was that she had hers cut off by a magician.
 It happens in The Spider" the Fox mystery thriller, which begins showing tonight at the Coliseum theatre.
 Edmund Lowe, featured with Lois Moran, is cast as stage magician, whose tricks solve a per- picking murder In the course of his exhibition, using Roberti as his assistant, he performs the fa- mous Hindu decapitation illusion.
 The Eastern "Sadhu's" method is different from Loves He col lects a street crowd by quarreling violently with his confederate and throwing him to the ground Brings Down Sword
 He filings a towel over the vic- tirn's head and brings down a sword with a sickening thud right where his neck should be. Blood flows from under the towel; the head rolls away. The fakir picks it up, spits in the face and kicks it along the ground. Then he shouts to the confederate to stop fooling and put on his head. The assistant obliges and stands up with his head back in place.
 Loves method lacks this grue- someness but the illusion as he works it is just as startling.
