LENNOX SHINES
AS BOXER
A new star shone forth in the
local fiStic heavens TODAY.

A new star shone forth in the
local fistic heavens today.
He's Harry LenoX, Cumberland,
Md, featherweight, who drew the
nod over Nick Antonelli, local
battler, at the end of eight
rounds of fast mixing at the
Twin City A. A. arena outside
Laurel, Md, last night. The
Lennox-Antonelli scrap saved the
card from being complete flop,
the main event between Reds
Barry, D. C. heavyweight, and
Eddie Houghton, Philadelphia
light-heavyWeight, proving a dud,
Barry was awarded the decision
after eight rounds.
An early lead swung the tide
of battle to LennoX, as Antonelli
closed fast, hitting the Maryland
boy easily in the seventh and
eighth rounds.
Sailor McKenna, of Washing
ton, rallied in the last three
rounds to take a close eight
rounder from Bobby Burns, Balti-
more lightweight. Henry Irving,
this city, and Stanley Skeeba,
Fort Myer middleweight. drew
in four rounds. Leroy Zinkham
scored a technical knockout over
Sailor Leonard in the third
round. and Doug Swetman. local
featherweight, outpointed Sammy
Romano in four rounds.

After Those Marines

Rob Roy's big ambition this
fall will BE- TO renew athletic
relations with the Quantico
Marines, an eleven with which
the MohaWks formerly enjoyed
cordial relations. They have
met four times, these Marines
and MohaWks, and are more
or less even, insofar as results
are concerned.
Two ties have resulted from
their meetings and each team
has won once from the other,
and so President Mackey hopes
to sign the Quantico Marines
along with eight or 10 other
crack elevens and call the
schedule Mohawk's gift to the
gridiron crazed.
The eloquent Mohawk presi-
dent points with pride to the
record of his team in last sea-
sons endeavorS, declaring the
Hawks won the championship
of the South Atlantic Football
League. Two games were won
from the Alexandria Celtics,
one game won and one tied in
a two-game set with the Balti-
more Irvingtons and one lost
and two tied in competition
with the Ap ches.
This season, however, the
league idea is to be abandoned
and strictly independent
schedule will be adopted, ac-
cording to Mackey, sports pro-
moter, landlord and Federal
worker betimeS.
The Washington times., 1932-08-30
Mackey Is Satisfied

But besides being a land
holder and running the busi-
ness affairs of the Mohawk
football team, Rob Roy has
other interests, which is in his
job with the Federal Govern
ment in the Navy Yard.
This five-day week proI%-
sition suits the Sage of South
east Washington exactly, for
it gives him all day Saturday
to prepare for the Sunday con-
tests of the Mohawks at Grit
fifth Stadium, whereas he for
merly only had half a day to
attend to the preliminary de-
tails thereof, and frequently
had to take an additional half
day off at his own expense in
order to do the job justice.
Mr.. Mackey's enthusiasm
over the approaching independ-
ent football season hereabouts
practically has him frothing at
the mouth. He is uttering big
words, compromising his adjec-
tives and splitting his infini-
tives. He is reducing the price
of general admission and. has
visions of a ball park full of
football fans come October 2
when the lid blows off his
schedule and stays off until
December 4. when it will clamp
down to stay until another
season will have rolled around.

The Investigation IS lieut. h S"
gained the right to participate
in the series by trimming Lem
Owens Treasury nine yesterday,
to 3. Ed Colliflower pitched
and batted across the much
sought victory for the Sleuths.
He granted eight scattered
bingles and connected for two
sizzling drives at the plate.
These sWatS were home runs,
but he only received credit for
one because he failed to touch
second base on his second drive
and was awarded single on it.
Nevertheless, the single drove in
a run.
Ed COllifIOwer Stars
Old Lem Owens hurled for the
losers and pitched we'll, but not
as good as Colliflower, as the
score indicates. Lem also had
a fine day at the bat. He
smacked out single and a triple.

tertainment as far as baseball is
concerned. Both teams possess

So, with the good Mr..
Mackey, the depression is over,
which brings us around to
something about which we are
more qualified to write.
Mr.. MaCkey last Saturday
came uptown from out of the
Southwest, where like the
grounding. he hibernates from
the end of one football season
until the beginning of another.
Seldom after December Is or
before September l does Rob

The Washington times., 1932-08-30

Thus, with this thought in
mind, Manager JohnsonS men
have become instilled with the
idea that they have the chance of
sweeping this current series which
began yesterday with that great
extra hing game which saw the
Browns finally defeated. 7 to 6,
after 13 torrid sessions of play.
To be sure the Brownies were
plenty tough yesterday, but the
Griffs still feel that with a few
faVors in the breaks they can
come out on top and plan to do
everything in their power to ac-
complish that little thing in the
remaining two games of the set.
Stewart Conquered
Manager Johnson's men faced
their toughest pitching rival in
Lefty Walter Stewart yesterday.
Now they figure that with this in
diVidual out of their way things
will be a little easier even though
such hurlerS as George Blae-
holder, Sammy Gray and the we'll
known Bump Hadley are avail
able during the next two days.
Yesterdays triumph over Stew
art was one of the few the Griffs
have been able to gain over this
pitcher this season, by the way.
And had not Our Boys" kept in
the game every minute the left
handler might have chalked up
another victory over his acknoWl-
edged cousins"
1t is this spirit and fight,
shown yesterday, which the
Griffs aim to keep right on
carrying during the remaining
contests of the series. And when
everything is said and done, the
GriffS must carry on with these
winning qualities if that third
place position is to be held from
now until the close of the cam
paign - particularly with the
Indians ever ready and waiting
in the background to snatch the
post at the first opportunity.
Aim to Give Fight
The Indians can be said to
hold a slight advantage right
now as they are playing the Bos-
ton Red Sox. The Peckmen have
shown they can beat the Bean
eaters this year. This is not
good news to the Griffs at all,
who are meeting their most pesky
foe of the league in the st. Louis
Browns.
But, be that as it may, let
come what will, the Griffs still
hold hopes of staying in the posi-
ton they've fought so hard for
during this home stand. Whether
they will or whether they will not
remains to be seen.
Still, it's a pretty safe conten-
ton that they will, if that fight
ing spirit continues as it started
in yesterdays first game against
the browns.

three-game series for the grand
crown of the Departmental
League.
Harry Hall, well-known sandlot
player, is doing nicely today fol-
lowing an appendicitis operation
at Sibley Hospital yesterday. A
benefit baseball game for him
will be played September 16 at
Griffith Stadium between the St.
Joseph'S and the st. Mary'S

Griff Victory
Greatest Ever
Is O pinion
BY GARRETT WATERS

When bigger, better and more
thrilling games are won this year
in the big leagues. put it down
that the Griffs will win them
At least this stand can be taken
after yesterdays contest at
Griffith Stadium, in which the
GriffS noSed out the ST. Louis
Browns, 7 to s, in 13 innings.
This contest is the talk of the
town today, or should be. For it
was one of the most remarkable
victories Manager Johnson's men
have ever registered.
Paramount is the fact that the
Brownies showed the way through.
out the proceedings. In the first
inning. off Pitcher Fred Marberry,
they counted two runs to take a
2-to-0 lead. Then, in the ninth,
after the Griffs had managed to
tie things at 2-all by rallies in the
third and eighth. these same
Brownies came back to score two
more markers to take 4-to-2 lead.
Manush Opens Hopes
1t was here that all the real
battling began. The GriffS got
back into the game in their end
of the ninth, when Manush sin
gle6 Kuhel and Bluege across.
The two teams then played
through a scoreless tenth.
Came the eleventh and the
Browns punched two hits for
one run. The Griffs came right
back to deadlock the score again,
5-5. Again in the twelfth the
Browns counted one run. Again
the Griffs came back to tie the
score, 6-6.
Finally the thirteenth inning
arrived, Bill McAfee was the Griff
pitcher here, and he managed
to retire the Browns without
run. In the lower end of the
thirteenth the Griffs put the
game away. With one out, West
beat out hit to Schultz. Kerr
singled to right sending West to
third. Howard Maple, next up,
hit a high fly to Goslin to left
and West raced home with the
run that won the game, 7 to s.
1T was one of the greatest
games ever played at Griffith
Stadium" was Manager John
sons comment after the dust
of battle cleared. I'VE won it
because none of the boys would
give up"
Walter Stewart hurled for the
Browns throughout. AS men
toned, Fred Marberry started for
the Griffs. He pitched nine
innings and then gave way in
favor of Gen. Alvin CroWder.
This finger occupied the mound
until the thirteenth when Bill Nc
Afee took up the duties. Bill got
credit for the triumph-his third
since joining the Griffmen.
Great Entertainment
In summary, the game, as
everybody who saw it will agree,
was truly remarkable. Particu-
larly from the Griffs' standpoint
as they were forced to come from
behind four times to finally win.
Dave Harris was the first star as
it was his single which dead
locked things at % in the
eighth. Heine Manush'S contribu-
ton came next in the ninth,
while Joe Cronin's triple scored |
Kuhel and tied the count at SIS
in the eleventh. Joe Kuhers
triple scored Myer to tie the
game at 66 in the twelfth. |
Naples fly to GoSlin won things,
as already mentioned.
