No Slight Intended

81 never owned less than
two, while it is true that in my
heydey had as many as ten.
Two Of my best were FOndness
and Rough Rider. The latter
did a mile in New York in
1888 exactly 81 years ago. Man

made in 1920 when the track
was at least four seconds faster.
anyway, I'm opening a
gOOgstew joint and you're in
for 10 per cent for reviving
interest in the turf'S oldest

HOWARD TABLER,
N- 1864 Eighteenth Street.
All right. Sir Howard, we'll
accept the 10 per cent and
hereby donate it for a monu-
ment to be erected at the old
Benning track in memory of
Fondness and Rough Rider,
who did a mile in 1888, which
is good time on any kind Of a
track if you ask us. AS to

I NOW LISTED

By GARRETT WATERS

= .
Maybe "Our Griffmen" will win
this years pennant yet. At any
rate they might come near If the
experts keep changing their
minds and feel that Manager
JohnSon's men have a chance. :,
But there's one thing which
the Griffs must accomplish, now.
that so many games have been
postponed Of late because of the
inclement weather. ri
And that is the coming out on
top or near that in the several
double headers ahead. Manager
Johnson's gang have seven Of
these twin engagements on SEIZED.
ule now and what a test they
will be for the pitchers who have
delivered so CALAMITY since the
start Of the season.
Two Real Soon :.
Two of these double-headera;
come very soon: in fact. next
week when the New York YAM
KEGS are met at New York next
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The twin bills are scheduled
Thursday and Saturday. -
The others go something like
this. On Thursday, June 2. the
GriffS will be in Boston for q
series of five games, two con!
tests of which will be played
on the June 2 date, and two more.
on Saturday, June 4.
Next come double-headers with
the Cleveland Indians because
Of postponements this week. Tha
first Of these is scheduled when
the Pecknen visit here in July
the actual date, July 9-while
the second has been arranged for
August 20.
Yesterdays contest with the De.
tro1t Tigers, called off due to the
1nclement weather, will be played,
Monday, July Is, or the day before
the Sam Rice Day" testimonial
to be given him in honor Of the
veterans long and faithful service
with the Washington club.
Thus, concludes the double.
header list for the time being. r
a game is not played today, an.
other will be added, and heaven
help the Griffs if many more arc
necessary. ~
Both Manager johnson and
your Uncle Clark Griffith are
quite concerned over the many
postponements necessitated by the.
nclement weather this week. -,
Game Today Maybe
They feel that it might have a,
tendency to slow up the teams
stride-which was really a stride,
before the enforced inactivity.
Therefore, both were out early this
morning looking at the skies and
hoping that a game might be-
played if such was humanity pos.
Sible.
Earl Whitehill, for Detroit. and.
Lefty Carl Fischer, were to be the
pitchers today if a game is played
The contest will mark the first bit
Of action for the Griffs since Mon.
day, when Wesley Terrell and the
Cleveland Indians were defeated
SO decisively-3 too. s

Rains Put Chevy Chase Course in Shape
EX-W|NNERS
IN TOURNEY
NEXT WEEK
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Thanks to the excessive rains Of
this week, golfers who will try to
assail par in the Chevy Chase
Club invitation tourney next week
will find the course in tip-top
shape. All that is needed now is
several warm days before qualify.
ing starts Tuesday morning.
The fairways have a fine stand
while the green's are smooth and
there shouldn't be many COM
plants If ones putting happens
to become ragged. In fact, the
entrants will most likely speak
words Of commentator.
Chevy Chase, which measures
6,505 yards from the back tees, is
one Of the longest par SO courses
in this vicinity, with 35 for the
outward trip and "a for the in
ward journey. The ninth, a par 3,
250-yard hole, requires a powerful
tee shot to reach the green.
Several Holes Altered
The contestants will find sew.
eral holes slightly altered. The
principal improvements have been
on the sixth and ninth holes.
The slope in front Of the sixth
green has been eliminated, the
trap on the right deepened and a
trap installed on the left.
The ninth tee has been ex-
tended to the right to give a
stra.ghter shot to the green. The
green has also been banked
slightly.
Par EqualIed Once
Only once has par been equalled
in the qualifying rounds, George
j. Voigt spinning q SO in the
1925 tournament, which the
former Washingtonian won.
Former tournament winners
who will again seek triumph are
Harry G. Pitt, Of Manor Club;
1-iller B. STEVENSON and Roland
Mackenzie, Of Columbia, and
George S. Lyon, the grand old
man Of Canadian golf. Lyon,
nearly IS years Of age, plays q

FOR CUBS

Baseball players who have been
predicting that the kid infield of
the Chicago Cubs would crack
were in an 'I-told-you-so" mood
today, while admirers of the
Bruins were hoping that the col
lapse of the teams inner works
was merely a temporary lapse.
The youthful infielderS of the
league leaders blew wide open
yesterday as Rogers Hornsby's
club lost to the second-place Bos-
ton Braves, 8 to 8. Bill Herman,
rookie second sacker from Louis
vile, made four errors and Short.

boots. Old HosS Stephenson, out
in left field, Clipped in with an
other miscue for a grand total Of
seven errors.
Brandt HurlS Well
Meanwhile Big Ed Brandt, Of
the Braves, held the Cubs to five
hits, banking them until the
ninth until Johnny Moore
smacked a homer with two on
base. Charley Root was the los
ing hurler. The Braves now trail
the Cubs by only two games.
Babe Phelps, of Brooklyn, beat
Cincinnati, to 2, the Dodgers
passing the Giants and going into
sixth place.
Jess Haines hurled the Car
dinals to an easy 8-to-2 win over

MANY RECORDS
ESTABLISHED
BY SCHOOLS
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Americas small-town high school
athletes seem to be teaching
their .big-city brothers something
of the art of hanging up marks
in track and field.
To date this year, and through
the 1881 track season, q number
of small-town high school ath-
letes have performed sensation
ally.
Dees, of Lorraine (Kan0 High
School, last year put the IL
pound shot So feet 5 inches.
Some notion of the class Of this
performance may be gained from
the fact that Dunlap, Of Handley
High, Winchester, Va, last Sat
urday established a new record
in the University Of Maryland
scholastic meet when he put the
12-pound ball 48 feet II inches.
New Meet Record
De Mers, of Prineville (OreO
High School, threw the javelin
2O1 feet 5h inches. Last satur-
day, in the Maryland meet,
Stripe, also Of Handley High,
hurled the javelin 1853 feet 4
inches for new record in the
Old Line scholastic meet.
Petty of kaufman CTex.)
High School, tossed the discus
1874 feet 612 inches.
Boiling, of Bedford (Ind0
High, reeled off a mile in apps.
quinn, of Ludington CMicho
High, stepped off half a mile IN
1894. When one stops to con-
slider that Stanford University
track officials are now applying
for a new world mark Of 1913
for Ben Eastman, Cardinal Flyer,
this schoolboy mark looms as a
remarkable performance.
High school athletes Of the
larger cities have also offered
some excellent efforts.
Schrimsher, Of San Antonio
(Tex.) High, has done "a feet
12-inch in the running broad
jump.
oliver, of Dayton (Ohio) High,
has done the low hurdles In 23.5.
Ward Jumps for Record
Willis Ward, Northwestern
High, Detroit, has cleared 6 feet
6 inches in the high jump to
establish a new national inter
scholastic mark.
Seton, of Hollywood (Calif)
High, a sturdy 185-pound chap,
has done IS feet 51a inches in
the pole vault.
Out on the Pacific Coast,
which territory SENS to be stealing
the thunder Of the East and
Middle West in track and field
as well as on the gridiron, the
high schools have flashed a num-
Der of excellent sprinters, sew
eral of whom have been under
10 seconds in the century. One
youngster, Draper by name, has
clicked off several zoos under the
flat mark. He is credited with
several dashes ranging from go
to 9.8.
Apropos Pacific Coast track
marks, it is interesting to note
that three world marks will prob
ably be credited to Ben East
man. The records are asa for
the 440 around one turn, ALL
for the 440 around two turns,
and 1913 for the $50. The last
record for the 440 around two
turns, an unusual event, was
credited to Make Long in 1900.

To Do Or Not to Do

Below is reprinted an excerpt
from the Maryland Diamond
back which serves at least one
purpose. It demonstrates con-
clusively why youngsters Of col
lege age should not be permit
ted free printed expression
which is not passed upon by
an adult editor who knows
what is best left unpublished.
Glance it over, and if you
can tell what it means you will
be eligible for a Ripley book.
Should you conclude that it
implies baseball can be fixed,
even in the name of George
Washington, ignore it on the
theory that the profound men
tally which concocted it mas
tried to say something indi-
rectly which he was either
afraid to say outright or I'M
able to prove. Here tits:
The Washington Senators, in
our opinion, are a certain bet
for world series finaIists. Not
only does Walter Johnson have
y strong, fast club, but on top
Of that the Capital is the scene
Of the George Washington bi.
centennial celebration. and if
baseball is crooked, here's a
100 per cent opportunity of
caShing in on a wonderful gate.
If it isn't a racket, and Wash
1ngtOn finishes somewhere in
the second division, somebody's
publicity committee is going

now are around 81. but when
this bicentenniaI stuff sinks in,
things are going to be rather

WHEN a high government official for
w gets the dignity Of his station and
stoops to the tactics of the street loafer
trying to pick a corner fight it is GER
tain to cause much more comment ghan
when any private individual loses his
temper.
1t was not a pretty exhibition that
the Vice President of the United States
gave yesterday when he was waited up
on by a delegation claiming to repre-
sent the unemployed, for the purpose
of presenting him with petition de-
manding relief.
Granted that the remarks of the dele
cations spokesman were annoying per-
haps insulting, this does not excuse the
behavior of the Vice President who off
cred TO throw the speaker out through
the door.
The delegation has been labeled rad
icalH, and very likely can wear the label
appropriately. Yet it was entitled to a
courteous reception and hearing But
above even the ordinary rules of good
breeding as applied to ones relations
with others, the Vice President should
have been cognizant of the dignity ex-
pected from him. He was acting Off
cially and as a high official of the
united States OF America. instead ne
proved himself thin-skined enough to
resent what he interpreted as a person
al reflection, and thought more of his
own personal feelings than he did of the
dignity of the government he was rep
resenting
Aside from the discourtesy exhibited
by the Vice President, it was an unwise
thing for him to do, for the delegation
was made up of those who wished to
make him appear in a ridiculous light
None can be more aggravating or irri-
tating than the so-called radicals who
are never happier than when they are
blowing off steam by way of oratory
and particularly if it is directed at some
one in authority. In losing control of
his temper the Vice President played
directly into their hands.
In contrast, Speaker Garner, who was
waited upon by the same delegation,
handled the situation in perfect man.
ner He kept control of his feelings,
and quietly but firmly shut off the i'm
pending flow of oratory which had so
ruffled the Vice President.
We are not completely surprised by
the Vice Presidents conduct. As much
might be expected from one who per-
mitted the Dolly Gann-Mrs. Longworth
feud to make the second highest office
in the country laughing stock for the
world.

What do you mean?" asked the

TO find out the secret if he could
help it.
Like this said Uncle Wiggily,
sitting down on log in the sun,
for the day was cold and frosty
