rescued less than two months
ago by the Cubs, much to the

He's not only been the key
which opened the world series
door to the Cubs this autumn,
but he's become the spark
plug of the club-the leader of

He deserves extra credit
therefore because "finis" to his

serves extra credit because he

SERVICE TEAMS
FAVOR 3 CITIES

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 16.-Under
the agreement for the renewal
of athletic relations between the
service schools, Army will choose
the site for the 1888 football
game and Navy will make the
selection in 1884. 1t is also pro-
vided in the agreement that the
choice is limited to New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. 1t
is almost certain that the Military
Academy will follow its custom of
many years and choose New
York for the game of 1888.
Philadelphia was selected by
the Naval Academy head for the
game of this year. 1t is by no
means certain that the same
city will be chosen for the game
of 1884, as the Navy has at times
selected New York and also, upon
occasion. selected Baltimore as
the place for the game.
1t is thought that the service
school heads desired to prevent
undue efforts to secure the game
by representatives of cities not
regarded as desirable points for
the contest, and so limited it to
the three cities named. However,
the whole matter is entirely under
the control of these officials and
they could, by mutual consent,
change it at any time, and agree
upon some other city, Chicago or
Washington for example.
OF the 80 games already played,
Is have been contested in Phila-
delphia and 10 in New York
city. Two have been played at
Annapolis and two at West Point,
these being the first four played,
Princeton, Baltimore and Chi
cago have each taken care of
one game. Contests in all other
sports than football are to take
place at the two service schools

BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 49,
The Griffmen have 10 more
games to play, counting today's
final of the series with the
Tigers, before the season is a
thing of the past. In this collec.
tion of contests lies "our teams"
chances of finishing in second
place, if such is to be their fate
by September 25, the last day
of the campaign.
Therefore, what tranSpires be-
tween now and that date will be
interesting, to say the least.
From the looks of things at this
stage, the merry old battle will
be waged until the final gong.
Which means that every day will
be an important one from now
until the end.
Can't Overhaul AS
The Griffs, when they first
started on this current Western
trip. hoped to overhaul the Phila-
delphia AS. holders of second
place, before they reached Phila-
delphia next week. But, try as
they might, they haven't been
able to accomplish any aims be-
cause the AS have proved such
consistent winners themselves or
their swing around the circuit.
Manager JohnSon'S men have
played gallantly, however, in
their efforts to gain the much
coveted position. They have had
only three games so far this trip
and have won three from the st.
Louis Browns, three out of four
from the Chicago White Sox and
none from the Detroit Tigers for
a record of six triumphs against
three losses in nine games played.
Such showing rivals only
that of a particular one last year
when the team won seven and
lost two games on its first West
ern trip. 1t promises to develop
into an even better record if
Manager Johnson's men can crash
through with a couple of victories
in the Cleveland series beginning
tomorrow.
GriffS Confident
Incidentally, the necessity of
turning in some tall playing
faces the Griffs in Cleveland.
This, because the Tribe is not
very far behind Manager John
sons men for that third place
position.
The Griffs are confident, how.
ever, that they'll be able to gain
"a couple of victories" because
they still have that great spirit
about them even though their
winning record has been tested
during the past three days. They
also expect to snap out of their
losing ways in today's final of
the year with the Tigers.
Getting back to the number of
games left for Manager Johnson's
men, three are scheduled with the
Cleveland Indians at Cleveland
after today's final contest with
the Tigers. Then comes three
games with the Boston Red Sox
at Boston, two with the Phila-
delphia AS at Philadelphia and
one with the same AS at Wash
lngton to complete list.

Lazzeri Outstanding

There are two outstanding Sec
ond basemen in the American
League this year and Charlie
Gehringer is the other. But
Lazzeri is a bit more outstand-
ing because he happens to be
on the league champions.
His case is remarkable. His
case is unique. His is unusual.
Here he comes back to play a
great game in a season following
"a winter when he was on the
auction block and could not
only be had by the highest
bidder, but by any bidder at
all. Yea, they were consign-
ing Tony to the ash can last
january and February, but
next January and February
he'll be debating his own terms
to the Yankee management
and we'd hate to have to sign
his pay checks.
Now take the case of Mark
Koenig hitting now over $50
and who actually was sent
hence from the Yankees on the
theory he could be of no pos
!Sible further use on. a team
which proposed to go places
and do things.

JOB CONFRONTS
MARYLAND ].
GRID COACH
By HARRY COSTELLO

Interesting.
Intriguing.
The first word describes
University of Maryland's football
squad and 1882 football situation.
The second aptly tells the story
of the tasks and problems con,
fronting Coach H. C. Curly Byrd
and his staff of assistants.
The Terrapin grid group may
be divided into two parts. Part
No. l may be classified as the
heavyweights. Part No. 2 may be
dubbed the lightweights. The
former look we'll on defense. The
latter look we'll on offense.
Grooming Forwards
Daily practice sessions at Col
lege Park indicate that Byrd's
idea is to groom a heavy forward
wall, for heavy front line de-
fensive duty, and a second line
composed Of fast, light units, for
swift attack.
In yesterdays scrimmage
against the Quantico Marines,
the Terrapins offered a line that
averaged close to 100 pounds
from end to end. This forward
wall included four men from the
1881 freshman team and three
from last years varsity squad.
The four from the yearling outfit
of last year were Rouzer, 220
pounds, tackle; Farrell, 204
pounds, guard; Mcdonald, 1913
pounds, guard. and Webb, 180
pounds, center. The three from
the 1881 varsity squad we're
Benner, end, ITO pounds; Vim
cent, end. 18O pounds and
keenan,, tackle. 100 pounds.
With Rouzer. Farrell, McDon-
aid, keenan,. Webb and Vincent
not included, 18 candidates for
line positions, including ends, av-
erage a few ounces less than 100
pounds.
Many Under IT'S Pounds
George Cole and John Mitchell,
the former ITO pounds and the
latter three pounds heavier, both
look good enough to squeeze in
on that first varsity line. So does
John Simpson, former Central
High star.
Thirteen of the 18 men men
toned as trying out for line posi-
tions each weigh under ITS
pounds, with II of them scaling
ITO or less, and five of them 100
or less. This is running pretty
light for linemen. yet all of these
18 men are fast, shifty and agile.
Maryland's coaches should en-
counter no difficulty developing a
backfield with Ray Poppelman,
AL Woods and Paul Herman as a
nucleus.
All in all, Maryland's worries
are in the line. Coach Charlie
FenWick has his work cut out to
bring green men forward.
inexperienced Squad
Studying the Maryland squad
in action, one is inclined to feel
that what the men most need is
perfection of mechanical action on
offense. The inexperience of the
squad as whole is obvious.
Whether Maryland will, or
won't, makes the whole Terrapin
situation interesting. and the 1882
schedule combined with the mex
perience of the squad makes for
an intriguing football proposition
for the Maryland coaches.
The Washington times., 1932-09-16

uniformity of purpose.
One of them is Jesse Guilford,
father of four and a champion
II years ago. He was supposed
to be finished as championship
prospect, but apparently isn't.
Another is Ross Somerville, the
Canadian, who has tried so often
and failed without exception. A
third is Johnny Goodman, only
%, but already great. His great
ness seems to be considerably de-
plored by the Golf Association.
The fourth is the current cham
pion himself, Francis Ouimet, the
man whose scholarly mien serves
only to delude the unwary. When
the situation justifies it, he can
be relentless as a thug.
On Tuesday last, when threat
ened with extinction in his own
tournament, he one-putted the
last four greens, to finish within
the qualifying limit. The follow
ing day he played the first nine
holes against Voigt in 80 strokes
for a new championship record,
and the complete 13 holes of the
match in eight under even fours.
Slaves Off Fischer
Yesterday he STAYED off the
final rush of Johnny Fischer, the
medalist, to win by l up, and
he'll have to be good today when
he faces Goodman in a grim, bit
ter, acrid fight to survive.
This is the same Goodman who
almost annually finishes high
among the pros and, at one time,
even had the temerity to defeat
the great Jones himself. But he
lacks the piping rock manner,
and so the golf association will
have no portion of him or at
least very little, with the result
that Goodman is most anxious to
dispose of this most officially
of champions, not only
for the benefit that may accrue
to Goodman but for the good it
might do others, Ouimet won the
open in 1918, the amateur the
following year, and the amateur
again in 1881, II years later.
Goodman has yet to win a major
title and, in fact, never before has
been within two days OF the semi
final round.
Neither has Somerville. Seven
times champion across the border,
he has appeared in many Ameri-
can championships and until the
present, has gotten nowhere in
vast haste. But he looked the
part yesterday with his tourna-
ment record score of 35-33-68,
against w. o. Blaney and it may
be that this is to be the young
mans year.
Something of Genius
In his own way at the moment
is the bluff giant of a man, Jesse
Guilford. the ex-rarmer boy from
upper New England, who went
to the city and made good at
country club. Guilford'S record
tends to indicate that he has
something of a genius for getting
in the way of others. He i'm
peded and stampeded so many
at st. Louis that there was no
body else left when they paid off
with the championship.
At other off moments, he has
placed the hulking frame of his
astride the tee and defied the
world to pass. He defied Chick
Evans, another former champion,
so successfully in yesterdays
third round that Evans is now
picking his conqueror to conquer
all.
AS to that, it is said that Maui
rice Mccarthy was so impressed
with his defeat by Goodman yes
terday that he now is picking
Goodman to win the title. 1t
