TRIES
NEW PAIR
TODAY
By GINO SINH

Uncle Sans picked netmen can
consider their American Zone
Davis Cup matches with Canada,
now in progress at Chevy Chase
Club courts, as in the bag, for,
while the Canadian doubles team
of DR.. Jack Wright and Walter
Martin are expected to put up a
stubborn battle, Wilmer Allison
and John Van Ryn, veterans of
many international campaigns,
will be too much for them. Play
starts at 2:3O p. m.
The Canucks' decision to use
Martin, instead of MARCEL Rain
vile, came as a surprise, as Wright
and Marcel Rainville are the Ca
madam doubles champions. How
ever, Captain Meldrum believes
that the rangy Regina star, whose
drives carry more steam than the
diminutive Rainville, will help the
Dominion's cause more.
Back to Wall
The Canadians have their backs
to the wall, as a victory today
for the United States would clinch
the series and relegate tomor-
rows singles to exhibitions.
Whether Meldrum's strategy sue
ceedS remains to be seen.
The Americans know how
Wright and Rainville function as
a doubles team, these two having
opposed the United States in last
years cup matches. They may
be worried by the new combina-
ton.
DR.. Jack Wright has natural
talents for the doubles game, be-
ing steady, persistent and i'm.
perturbable. He has shared the
doubles championship of Canada
four times, three times with Will
lard Crocker and last year with
RainV lie.
Yesterdays big thrill was the
courageous stand DR.. Wright
made against the lanky Ellsworth
Vines, United States No. l rank
ing player. Vines found the good
doctor a smart, resourceful op-
ponent, with infinite patience.
Chose To Wait
The round+faced Canuck, eter-
nally smiling, knowing he could
not hope to swap drives with the
American, devoted most Of his
energies to keeping the ball in play
until Vines would choose to smash
it into the net or out it, and Vines
didn't disappoint him often.
But Vines knack of putting over
the placement that won deuced
games brought the doctors defeat.
Vines unleashed the full power Of
his tennis to sweep through the
final five games and win the
match, 8-6, 3-6, Ga, 3-6, 60.
The go getting, never-say-die
spirit of Marcel Rainville made
Wilmer Allison play a game in
which he did not look at his best,
but he won in straight sets, 6-2,
Ga, Ga, as the tiny Canadian
couldn't keep his returns within
the boundaries, outing AZ times to
Allison's 26. Errors decided the
issue.
The Washington times., 1932-04-29

The peppery collection of ball
toSSerS include such familiar and
capable figures as Willis Fischer,
Robert Snyder, Tom Conner, John
Batson and James Blake.
Fischer and Snyder were all
high players while matriculating
at Eastern High School. Connor
was an all round star at Business
High School. Batson used to
throw them plateward for West
ern Figh and Maryland Univers-
ity. Blake, prominent Philadel-
pkl1a diamonder, had a try-out
with the AS.
Rauber COacher
Last but not the least, "Ty"
Rauber, former football and base
ball coach at Central High School,
is the coach of the team. He
predicts great things for his
charges in the Departmental
League which has many potent
mines vieing for the championship
honors.
The game at Lorton tomorrow
will be conducted in conjunction
with an athletic field day at the
institution. j. Edgar Hoover, di-
rector of the Bureau Investigation
and other prominent officials Of
the Department of Justice will
attend. Efforts are also being
made to secure the participation
of Nick Altrock. Washington
Griffmen'S funny man, in the
field day events.
Majestics Busy
The Majestic Radio team will
journey to Colesvi1le, Md, Sun
day to play the Colesville slug
gers a double-header. Majestic
players will gather at 932 H st.

parture. Manager Wyche has

anticipates that these stalwarts

This was before game time,
but Umpire Beans" Reardon,
who was on duty that day in
the stands for an hour before
game time, observed the Saluta-
tor, exchanged between the
good sergeant and the good
Judge, and forthwith made a de-
tailed report of the horror to
President John Heydler, who in
turn slapped the customary SIS
fine on the former Army SER
geant.

a pretty pass when baseball re-

The several wise fellows who
might have felt Your Uncle Clark
Griffith got the worst of the
trade he pulled off with the Chi
cago White Sox last winter, ought
to be doing a turn around in
feelings these days when the re-
cent hitting of Carl Reynolds,

over.
For Carl certainly has hit the
old apple during the last week or
so, and best of all has produced
his bingles when they meant
things.
There's an interesting sidelight
on Reynolds squirt. During the
training season the outfielder was
way off with the flail, in fact so
bad was his performance that
several thoughts entered the pic
ture that he might be replaced
by the veteran Sam Rice.
But Reynolds was heard to
humble one day like this:
"A slow start, a good ending.
That's my speed"
The big outfielder was asked
what he meant by these over.

Steal Matted Milk
Machine at Revere
Bl0cdhOunds Used in Attempt
to Locate Pool Hall
Thieves Wednesday

Sheriff L. j. Kisses bloodhounds were
put to work in Redwood county for
the first time in several months,
Wednesday morning when Deputy
Sheriff Harry Beatty answered call
to Revere to track thieves who broke
into the pool hall there and stole the
matted milk mixer, several cartons
of cigarets and candy bars.
A. B. Coan, trainer, and the dogs
trailed the thieves from the back of
the pool hall, out into the alley and
down the street until the tracks were
lost where the three robbers got into
a sleigh. They gained entrance by
prying the back window open. No
other clues were found.
The proprietor locked his place Of
business at approximately 1890 p. m.
and it was sometime after he reached
the pool hall Wednesday morning
that he noticed that his place had
been broken into. He Immediately
notified Mr.. Beatty.
On his way to Revere, nearly IL
miles south of town, Mr.. Beatty and
Mr.. Coan tipped over in the car. The
car slid into a rut and swerved one
way and then the other until it set
tied down on the right side of the
machine. The car was slightly dam
aged. Some passersby stopped and
helped the two men right the car.

RAIL SHIPMENTS
FROM CITY SHOW
lob CAR DECLINE
Drouth, Crop Shortage Results
in Heavy Loss to Railroad
i'm Grain Shipments
STOCK LOADINGS LESS
Truck Entertainments Believed
Responsible for Part of
Shipping Slump

Railroad shipping out of Redwood
Falls during 1881, in full car ship
ments, aggregated about 180 carloads,
according to figures compiled by the
managers of the elevators, the pro-
duce houses and other shipping asso-
Citations.
This amount is decrease of about
103 carloads from the year 1880, which
was one of the heaviest shipping
wears for some time. The comparison
is less noticeable with 1928 and 1929,
although the figures for the two
earlier years are somewhat larger
than last year. North Redwood ship
ing is not included in the compilation.
Corn, grain and produce shipments
totaled about 48 cars in 1881 whereas
the previous year these commodities
aggregated about 126 cars. Here
was a decided decline of 70 carloads
probably due to a shortage of crops
caused by the scarcity of rainfall.
Because prices were low, many farm
ers used their grain to feed hogs and
attic.
Livestock, another large item of
shipping here, amounted in 1881 to
157 cars. This is a decline of 25 cars
from the consignments in 1880 when
1872 cars were shipped by rail. This
decrease is accounted for by increas-
ed truck shipments, mostly. How
ever, the decline is about equally di.
vided between hogs and cattle, and ii
is thought that because of low prices
much stock has been kept off the
market, which accounts for some 81
the loss. More of the hog shipments
were made in double deck cars last
year which also accounts for part OF
the loss in number of cars.
Loss of heavy sugar beet shipments
made in other years also accounts for
some of the decline in number OF
cars consigned from here.
