lation here of 125,554.
The number of families here report
ing no children under 10 years old is
in line with the figures complied for
the various States. The bureau has no
comparable figures, as this was the first
time such a record was gathered by
enumerators But In view of the fact
that 16,609 were classified as one
member families-those persons living
alone-and the large percentage Of
families made up of elderly persons
whose children have grown up, the
count is not considered by officials as
having any reflection upon this city's
birth rate.
OF the 29,904,663 families in the
United States, 17,587,354 reported no
children under 10 years OF age, the

There s a Charm

Now they do say that three's
a charm, and to prove it, an
other Trueman-trained bangtall,
Jolly Pilot, the property of the
Audley Farm, and with the
aforementioned A. Robertson
aboard, nosed out Open Hearth
for the first money.
There's the evidence, ladies
and gentlemen, and Trueman's
case is rested. The only thing
that Trueman didn't do that
he might have, was to see to it
that Lord Tournament win in
the fourth race. AS things
transpired, Lord Tournament
finished absolutely last in that
race and you can imagine what
Mrs. Trueman said to Elmer
when he got home last evening,
because it so happens that Lord
Tournament is the property in
fee simple of Mrs. Trueman.
Somewhere in the history Of
the civil war we have read that
Abraham Lincoln, after receiv-
ing the report of some of Gen
The Washington times., 1932-04-02
Them What, Has!

Mrs. Trueman was in a fair
position to do likewise to Elmer,
who we can imagine rushing
in the front door and out to
the kitchen, where MA" True
man was preparing the evening
meal, crying:
"Oh, Ma, Acautaw, Avalon
and jolly Pilot won the first
three races! What do you think
of your Popsy WOpsy now,
Hon.
At which the good Mother
Trueman might we'll have said:
"Oh, yea. and what did Lord
Tournament do in the fOurth?"
At which Elmer, like a mis-
chievous boy, might well have
made a hasty exit down in the
cellar to see how the furnace
was coming along, ascending
again, only when Mother True
mans wrath had subSided and
the steak and onions were done
to a criSpy brown.
Well, that's the way with
race hosseS. You never can
tell a thing about them!
There's a secret to Trueman'S
successes at Bowie. The for
mula is very simple. Instead Of
gallivanting all over the coun-
try to other tracks in the win
ter, he stays right here in
Washington, close to the Laurel
Stock Farm, which formerly be-
longed to Comdr. J. K. L. Ross,
where he trains his charges in
Maryland soil to win races in
the same kind of footing.
The Washington times., 1932-04-02

Briefly, the facts of Trainer
Elmer's achievement are these.
In the first race, Howard
Bruce'S Acautaw, which Truman
trains, and with Jockey A. Rob-
ertson rating his mount nicely,
breezed home a half-length
ahead of the second best horse.
In the second race, Mr..
Bruce's Avalon. piloted by Sonny
Workman, put a length and
one-quarter between himself
and the second hoss. This was
by nature of a double victory
for Washington, because both
the jockey and trainer are
Washingtonians, Capitalians or
District of Columbians, if you
prefer.

For after the elgnCn inning
when the Carey team had scored
three runs off of Pitcher Frank
Ragland and had seemingly seWed
the game, 10 to 7, all on hand
began typing their yarns about
the Dodgers victory, only to find
this work turned to naught
through the Griffs' three run
rally in the ninth inning.
The game marked the steenth
occasion this spring in which the
Griffs have come from behind to
register. Yesterday it was even
better than before, for a big
crowd was on hand to see the
fun, a big league team was the
victim and nice hitting in the
pinches turned the trick where
breaks have won for the Griffs
heretofore.
Two Runs Behind
Entering the ninth, 10 to 8 be-
hind, one run having been "got-
ten back" in the last of the
eighth, Pitcher Lefty Heimach
walked both Judge and Bluege
to start the Griffs on the way.
Little Johnny Kerr was, at this
stage, sent up to hit for Frank
Ragland. He accommodatingly
rifled a double to left, scoring
Judge. Berg, the next batter,
walked to fill the bases.
Buddy Myer forced Bluege at
the plate on his tap to First
Baseman Strip, of the Dodgers,
but the bases were still full when
Myer beat Val Picinich's return
throw to Strip. Heine Manush.
then shot a sharp single to right
which counted Kerr, with the
tying run, but the bases con-
tinued to stay occupied as fast
fielding kept Berg from scoring.
Rookie Pitcher Jones relieved
Heimach here and he proceeded
to fan Sammy West, the first
batter to face him. But Joe
Cronin was next. And Joe, as of
old. hit the first ball for a line
single to left, sending across Rice,
pinch runner for Berg, with the
winning run.
The two teams put on a great
show for the 1000 or more
Biloxians who turned out to see
a real big league game. There
was hitting, good pitching in
spots, and, of course, the thrill
ing finish which sent all home
satisfied that they had gotten
their moneys worth.
FirpO Holds EN-
Big Fred Marberry blanked the
Dodgers twice before the third
inning rolled around. But in
this frame the Texan was found
for seven hits and six runs,
which wiped out a perfectly
good lead the Griffs collected in
the second inning, when four
runs were scored.

RumorS whirl around the local

Beaver Dam has been vacant

Indeed, it was planned to have

All that blocks Shorey's trans

of selling rights to certain golf

RALLY

Times Staff Correspondent

AhhCS SboAA NOAANoPOANSN
SELMA, Ala, April 2.-The
value that Joe Cronin really is
as batter Number in the line up
was clearly demonstrated yester-
day as the Washington Griffmen
ended their training grind at
Biloxi with a 11-to-10 victory over
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Joe, coming up in the ninth
with the bases full and hit
needed to win the game, slapped
the first ball pitched to him by
Rookie Hurler Jones of the
Dodgers, to left field for dyed
in the wool pinch single which
decided the margin of victory for
his team.
It's hitting like this which
makes a managers job so much
more of pleasure, not to men,
ton the fact that it gives him
the confidence that may be a
contest figured lost is not lost
after all.
Praises for Joe
Manager Walter johnson was
all praise today about Cronln
and his happy faculty of coming
through in the pinch. No matter
how we'll his other sluggerS are
supposed to hit, it's always
Cronin who can be depended
upon to deliver when hit is
really needed.
1t is for this reason that john
son did not lower the peppery
shortstop in the batting order
when Carl Reynolds came to the
club. Feeling that Cronin was
still his punch" batsman, john
son continued to name Joe as
Hitter No. 4 when he figured
his stick order several weeks ago.
In the games to date, his
faith in Cronins ability to de-
liver has been justified.
The Griffs are in this town
today for the first of their three
game series with the Chatta-
nooga Lookouts. Only today will
be spent at Selma, however, as
the next two contests with Joe
Engels club are scheduled at
Chattanooga tomorrow and Mon
day.
Weaver on Hill
Monte Weaver has been nomi-
mated to toe the mound for
the Griffs for this afternoons
brush. He will be aided by
either Carl Fischer or Bob Fried
rich.
It'n be Ad Liska for Chatta-
nooga. as your Uncle Clark Grit
fifth has asked Joe Engel to use
the submarine hurler against
Manager Walter JohnSon's gang
today in order to get an early
line on whether the pitcher is
good enough or not to sign up
again.
The next three days, incidentally,
will be curious ones for the several
rookie pitchers and catchers now
listed as Griffmen. One, and
maybe two or three, will be left
with Joe Engel, it is the general
opinion. Late this morning re-
ports eked out that Lefty Lyn
Griffith would be rocking No. l to
be left, if no other performer.
Watch Liska
There's sure to be some deal
made with Chattanooga if Ad
Liska shows anything today.
Griffith and johnson both figure
that the still youthful pitcher
could be help to the Washing
ton clubs pitching cause this
year if only his arm is okay
enough to warrant his resigning.
But in order to get Liska, Griff
must hand the Chattanooga club
one or two players in exchange for
the pitchers services. 1t might
be said the zenith hour has ap-
preached for the several rockies
now wearing Griff uniforms.
