WHY NOT LOWER
FERRY FAREsG

The statement made in this paper
last week that It would seem that
something could be done to secure for
the Island cheaper ferry rate has
evidently struck responsive chord in
the minds of many of the Island
people.
Aside from the political aspect, of
one case, which is unfortunately the
result of questionable methods, there
is the present economic situation
Wages are now down to low level
Boat men of twenty years ago state
that wages of similar workers today is
practically equal to the wages received
then. DIESEL oil is at low price, as
is every other commodity of a like
nature.
There has never been any quarrel
on the price Of communication tickets,
but many car owners feel that 1t
should not be necessary to tie up, say
IS or $40, when they are going off
of the Island but seldom. True, we
might argue that the man who has
not IS to invest in tickets should not
be driving car, but even those who
drive humble Fords, and just farm
for a living, have some of the desires
for an occasional jaunt that some of
the more fortunate who drive Pack
ards and Lincolns. The high cost OF
single fares could easily keep away
from the Island the occasional visitor
who might eventually become valu-
able Island resident. Only lately one
of our summer lodges missed nice
lot of business because Seattle or.
ganization investigating place fol-
its annual dinner had to pass up the
Island on account of the high single
trip fare In the past ten days one
transportation company oper atine
farther north on the Sound reduced
the round trip fare from Edmonds tt
Port Townsend almost 20 percent. Il

TEAMS SET
FAST PACE
BY BABE RUTH

Three teams 1 picked last
March as second division fin
ishers have been right up there,
showing the way to clubs which
had been accorded high rating.
You will recall that I picked
the Cubs to finish fifth, and the
Braves to finish sixth in the
National League, and the Detroit
Tigers to finish eighth in the
American League. That was the
same as saying that four Ma
tional League clubs carried more
strength than the Cubs or Braves,
and that seven clubs eXcelled the
Tigers in their league.
But the Cubs were in first
place seven weeks after the sea
son opened, the Braves were sec
ond, and the Tigers were also IN
second place, ahead of such rivals
as the Senators, Mackmen and
Indians.
End Far Away
might add that the end Of
the season is far away but that
is not my point in making men
ton now of the high positions.
I wish merely to point to the
success attained against supposed
ly stronger clubs. and not to
make further predictions of pos
sible failure
I would prefer to see the three
of them do much better than I
figured they could, and I have
not the slightest desire to point
later to failure and say: Il told
you So"
The outstanding surprise to me
in our league, and it is pleas
ant one, too, has been the work
of the Detroit Tigers.
1 have always admired Bucky
Harris as a player, manager
and a man and he can't have
too much success to suit me. He
surely has kept his team hustling
this spring and this factor. with
intelligent direction, has played
no small part in the success of
the Tigers.

D, c. NET CHAMP
MAY TURN PRO

Eddie Yoemans. District tennis
singles champion. and one of
WaShington's most promising
players, may turn professional
shortly.
Yeomans has been studying
law at Harvard, and is casting
around for some position during
the summer which will provide
him with funds to continue his
studies.
The Columbia Country Club has
had an opening for a tennis pro
since Jimmy Mitchell. brother Of
Dooley, moved to Richmond.
Yeomans has made inquiries re-
garding this opening and has re,
ceived the approval of the club
officials. He may decide to take
the job.
Last year Yoemans devoted
most of his playing to out-of-town
tournaments, putting up great
battles against such nationally
famed stars as Johnny Doeg,
Frank x. Shields, Wilmer Allison,
Berkeley Bell and Eddie Jacobs.
In his local appearances he won
the District singles title, and, with
Tom Markey, gained the Middle
Atlantic doubles championship.

Griff Was Liberal

In the first place, we feel
that Clark Griffith made a very
substantial offer to Bob Quinn
for MacFayden, because nobody
in the game has a finer sense
of baseball values than has the
"Old Fox" MacFayden was just
what washington needed to
make it a real championship
threat and none knew this bet
ter than did Mr.. Griffith.
Therefore, if Quinn turned
down Griff's generous proposal
and Griff did make a whale
of an offer-what then must
New York have given? We will
answer that question partially.
New York gave a darn sight
more than two pitchers both OF
whom have been impeded this
season by physical ailments.
Johnson underwent an opera
ton for appendicitis at the be-
ginning of the training season
and Andrews has been out OF
action for nearly a month oe,
cause of lumbago. Does it souno
reasonable that this pair OF IN
valids, so to speak, makes an
even.up trade for the much de-
sired pitcher whom both Pniia,

BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, June THE old
familiar slogan of Watch Those

around by the Griffmen as they
engage the revamped Fonseca-
managed team in this series.
For it was in this busy burg
that the Griffs we're knocked for
several loops last year when vic
tories would have meant better
position in the standings.
Therefore, there's every reason
that Manager johnson and his
warriors watch out for those
Sox" in the series here during
the next four days.
The Sox can certainly sock when
it comes to knocking teams out
of pennant races, and the Griffs
promise to be no obstacle.
Remains to Be Seen
But it all remains to be seen
whether the Griffs will be taken
for a ride or not. Of course.
Manager johnson is hopeful that
his men will find themselves here
in the idea of beginning a win
ming streak which will get them
back on their feet again by the
time they return home June 2a.
Even this remains to be seen.
But it's not impossible, even
though Johnson'S men have been
going like cellar champions of
late instead of second place
holders in the league standings.
johnson hasn't given up hope
as yet in regards to his teams
possible comeback. He believes
there's still better times ahead
and feels that once a couple Of
victories are under his mems
belts, they'll get the idea of win

the result another win streak will
be theirs and the race will be

The Griffs leave for St. Louis
