YOUNG ANGLERS
CATCH BASS

There are plenty of small
mouthed bass cavortino in the
nearby river, but they are act
ing mighty pernickity.
Nice catches have been made
in Guns on Cove. Piscataway, be-
low and above Great Falls.
Ralph Grier, Horace Leighton,
Edgar Bucholtz, Joe Miller and
Leighton Groves, all 16 years of
age, have been dragging in plenty
of bass, catfish and sunfiSh dur
ing the past few days, while
camping out just below Great
Falls.
They have had around 80 bass
in ALL averaging over 212 pounds
apiece. They are living on these
catches.
Bob Mullinix tell the other side
of the story. Armed with every
bass lure known to sporting goods
proprietors, he has been trying
to interest the bass in Cock
Roach Run without success,
"They keep popping out OF
the water as if mOcking you,
but they refuse to even sniff
at the lures" Bob explains
ruefully,
A colored boatman consoled him
by telling him the moon is too
full. that they will be biting like

UTH EXPECTS CUBS TO WIN NATIONAL LEAGUE FLAG
GOLF TOURNEY
INCLUDES STAR
ENTRY LIST
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Surely, golf is the most un.
usual of all our sports.
A month hence will be fought
the Battle of Five Farms. Out
of that battle will come Americas
premier golfer for 1882. Battling
for the coveted honor will be a
field composed of Cd hardy vet.
Grams of the golfing wars, some
of them with IS to 30 years Of
experience; 90 other vets, but
with only Is to 25 years of ex.
perience; go still other vets, with
records of achievement in golf
dating back a paltry five to Is
years; a. a flock of youngsters
and newcomers, most of them
with experience dating back all
the way from a few months to
five years.
1t is doubtful that American
amateur golf ever offered such an
interesting event to contemplate,
as this 1882 national.
Of course, Bobby Jones and
George Won Elm will be missing.
However, the absence of this ster-
ling and colorful pair helps enor-
mouSly to make the battle of Five
Farms the attractive event it is
sure to be. Bobby and George
were too fast for the fields which
faced the barrier when they were
at their best.
Big Entry List
None of the other big guns Of
American amateur golf will be
missing when the starter Off.
cially signals the beginning Of
hostilities at Five Farms on the
morning of September II.
Just look over a partial list Of
the golfers and decide for your.
self just how interesting this
1882 event will be.
From the Coast will come H.
Chandler Egan, veteran Of vet
Grams and winner of the National
Amateur at Baltusrol in 1904.
From Chicago will come Chick
Evans, who, like Egan, is a vet
of many years experience. From
Detroit will come smiling Jimmy
Standish. who has been compet-
ing in American amateur golf
almost as long as Chick and
Chandler.
Then there are Jesse Guilford,
siege gun of Woodland; Eddie
briggs, of football fame; SllaS
Newton, of whom there is no
whomer in golf, here or abroad:
George Voigt and Eddie Held;
Gene Homans and Richard
Dick" Jones, the latter of whom
never fails to enliven golf tourna-
ments; Ross Soverville and Nicol
Thompson, from Canada; Cyril
James Hastings Tolley, with his
Oxonian accent and the promise
that he will play as we'll as he
did in 1920, when he won the
British amateur.

Jameson Is GiUen
LaYOff BY Indians

CLEVELAND, Aug. 20.-Char-
lie Jameson, veteran outfielder
for the Cleveland Indians, who
was forced to retire when his face
became partially paralyzed, will
return to his Paterson, N. j.,
home within a few days, officials
of the Cleveland Indians said to-
day.
Jameson did not accompany
the Indians on their eastern trip
this week and is now in Cleve-
land preparing to leave for New
Jersey. Despite his affliction,
the baseball veteran continued
to act as coach during the last
home stay of the Indians.
Jameson has been undergoing
treatment here for the paralysis,
which is believed by physicians
to have been caused by infected
teeth.

Life Pension Urged
For Olympic Champ

ROME, Aug. 20.-The news
paper Lavor Fascista, believing
the traditions of the original
Olympic games should be carried
out in their modern counterpart,
has urged that a life pension or
life occupation be given Signor
Beccali, winner of the 1,500meter
race at Los Angeles and chief
Italian hero of the 1882 games.
This would carry out the
custom in ancient Greece of CIV
ing the Olympic winner free
rationS for life, as we'll as q
money purse of 500 drachmae.
Other civic honors were bestowed
upon such athletes, giving them
many special prerogatiVes in

Griffmen Face
Tough Part Of
Home Stand
By GARRETT WATERS

The Griffs face the toughest
part of their home stand from
now until September /. Following
the Indians, who open a five
game series here today with a
doubleheader, Manager JohnSon'S
men have contests ahead with
the Detroit Tigers and st. Louis
Browns. both of whom will ap-
pear for four games each.
The current series with the
Indians marks the beginning of
the tough times. All because
they, as we'll as the Tigers and
Browns, have been pretty diff
cult foes to defeat this season.
johnson Is Hopeful
However, Manager johnson is
hoping that the pitching of his
team stands up. If it does hell
have no need for sorrow later,
but if it does not, that better
position idea may as we'll be cast
aside until next year.
There's one thing about the
future that lends Encouragement
where it was lacking during the
Griffs' last home stand in July.
It's the fact that Carl Reynolds,
hard-hitting outfielder, will be
available for duty every day.
Reynolds Hits Triple
Reynolds made his first ap-
pearance in a regularly scheduled
game yesterday since July 4, when
his jaw was broken by Bill Dickey.
He performed in the nightCap
of the double-header against the
Chicago White SoX, and collected
triple in four trips to the plate.
The Griffs made it four straight
and clean sweep over the SoX
by their double triumph. Big
Fred Marberry outpitched Gregory
and Faber to win the first game,
4 to 3, while Bill McAfee, new
recruit, outlaSted three Sox hurl-
ers, Chamberlain, Galivan and
Bartholomew, to win the night
cap. 3 to l.

This IS the spirit one contest
ant has in this years Babe Ruth
contest. Pretty good, eh? George
has reasons for being so enthuSi-
astic. Because, beyond doubt,
he named an excellent team
a team which stands good
chance, your editor thinks, of
coming near to Ruth's.
But you never can tell, as the
old saying goes. your team may
be even nearer than Georges.
None of us will know until the
great Babe presents his team to
us himself Immediately after
the midnight deadline, August 81.
George picks, Foxx, Gehringer,
Cronin and Traynor as his in
fielders: O'Doul Averill and
Klein. his outfield; Cochrane as
his catcher and Gomez and War
neke, his pitchers.
George lines 'em up this way:

earle E. Hellyer of 1900 Trini-
daG Avenue sends in an inter
eSting letter saying that the only
difference in opinion lying in the
selection of a Babe Ruth team,
takes in three points. namely:
the third base selection; the
right-handed pitching selection,
and the batting lineup.
Therefore he picks the follow.
ing team and batting order:
O'DOul, If. COchrane, c.
Gehringer. 2b. CrOnin, IS.
Averill, CT. Bluege, 3b.
Klein, rf. Gomez, p.
FOxX, 1b. Ferrell, p.
Mr.. Hellyer picks Ferrell as his
"other" pitcher because he is a
hard and timely hitter. The
Cleveland ace, he says, can start
batting tally nearly as we'll as
anybody on his team, and he
feels a pitcher who can do this is
a distinct aid to any team.
Here's a letter from Newport,
R. l.! It's from Ebert S. Luther
and he picks the following team
and batting order:
Gehringer, 2b. Averill, CT.
Klein, rf. CrOniE, SIS.
O'DOul, If. DiCke5, C.
Gehrig, 1b. Gomez, l..
FOxx, 3b. Ferrell, p.
Notice he's got Foxx on third
base, and mas Ferrell as his sec.
ond pitcher.
Orville Shanks of 1912 Ingleside

and also says this is his third at
tempt to win that worlds series
trip.
Gehringer, 2b. Dickey, c.
Averill, CT. CrOnin, SS.
Klein, rf. Whitney, S5.
FOxx, 1b. Gomez,
O'DOul, If. Warneke, p.
Here's a gentleman who likes
Grantham, of the Reds, for sec
ond base. Robert J. Maddox is
his name, of 1924 L st. S. E.
"Grantham is an excellent
Iead-Off man." he says, "and

NEW YORK. Aug. 20.-The Ma.
tional League race grows hotter
as the season draws nearer to
close and everybody seems to have
some set idea Of how it is going
to finish. Some tell you that the
Pirates have had their slump
without losing too much ground
and from now to the finish may
be expected to step along as they
were stepping before the slump
hit them. Others point to the
squirt of he Dodgers, which
amounted to 20 victories il. IS
games as this is ~'ritten. and in.
sist that Carey'S team finally has
found itself and cannot be
stopped.
My own view of the battle is
that the Cubs will win. l believe
the current home stand Of the
Western clubs in he National
League will come close to settling
the fight. The Cubs are almost
unbeatable at home and they have
a stretch of games now which
should enaole therl to improve OF
the advantage they held when the
trip opened. 1 know they must
come East again but l believe
they will be sitting pretty by the
time that final invasion is
started
Dodgers Face Trouble
look for a lot of trouble for
the Dodgers on this Western
jaunt. They have been going so
fast that a let-d.wn is almost Ger.
tain, unless they are one of those
real great teams which can carry
q terrific pace over a considerable
distance. They may be blessed
with that momentum we hear
about when ball team finds it.
self suddenly after a bad start,
puts on a squirt and finally re.
fuses to be stopped. That remains
to be seen.
Why do I look for trouble? Be
cause the National League teams
of the western wing carry enough
dynamite to knock any team out
of the fight. The Dodgers are
bound to have trouble in Chicago
and st. Louis. and Cincinnati has
about as powerful tail-end club
as you will see in a space of 10
years. If Brooklyn can come out
of the West within a game or two
of first place then look out for
those Dodgers. But it will take
a lot Of winning and also a
slump by the Cubs, to make this
possible.
1 don't look for the Phillies or
the Braves to figure prominently
in the flag chase from now to the
finish. They are still on the
Dodgers heels as 1 write these
lines, but they have been drop
ping back recently while Carey's
team has been gathering speed.
PhilS Bats Tough
The Phillies hitting makes them
tough to beat at their home park
but they are not a good road
team, and look for them to drop
out Of the pennant fight on this
trip
The Braves deserve a lot of
credit. They have been the sur
prise team Of the National League
this year. and they held the pace
with the leaders up through the
early days of August. Now the
pace is telling. 1t wouldn't sur
prise me great deal to see the
Cardinals put on late squirt and
wind up with a first division
berth because I think they are
too good ball team to be where
they are. 1 have given up the
Giants, whom I nicked to finish
second. 1t would be a big sur
prise if they got much higher
than seventh in this race
