All praised the Tiger youngster
for pitching one of the most re.
markable games in recent years.
Normally a curve ball hurler, and
pretty wild one at that, Bridges
had everything working right
yesterday.
81 guess I was a little over
anxious by the time Harris
stepped to bat" Bridges unused.
Il slipped one over too good
for Dave which resulted in his
base hit. Those things happen
to all pitchers, but, most i'm
pOrtant of all, / won the game
for Detroit and that's what
counts"
"TO Bad" Says Johnson.
ITS too bad the kid couldn't
get a nO-hit game for himself"
johnson commented. But
things like Dave Harris base
hit at the last moment happen.
It's happened to all of us who
have been so near to fame.
Bridges deserves all the credit
in the world. He hurled a won
derfuI game and my hat is off
to him."
Naturally, Bucky Harris, man
ager of the Tigers, was quite
elated over his pitchers showing.
He said between smiles:
Bridges effort was the best

that has been turned in for the
last five or six years. He's a
great little pitcher, has plenty
of heart and should have
achieved his One-hit achieve
ment even though that eleventh
hour base hit of Dave Harris
ruined his chances"
That the youngster was in eX-
traordinary fettle is cleaned from
the fact that he set the Griffs
down in order until Harris hit
in the ninth. He struck out six
and only six balls went into the
hands of his outfielderS.
Twice in Trouble
Only twice was he in trouble in
the matter of ball: and strikes.
Brown worked him to a three and
two count before hoiSting to
Webb in the third. while West
got as far as three and two before
flying to Webb in the eighth.
That ninth inning was too dra-
matte to pass over lightly. The
crowd of about 5000 gave Bridges
a rousing ovation as he stalked to
the mound. They got even
noisier when Richardson threw
out Bluege and Maple famed
the first two batterS. Then came
Dave Harris with his big bat.
Bridges wound up and sent the
first ball plateward and Harris
hit to left field, breaking up a
perfect no-hit game. However, it
was an exceptionally pitched
game by the young Tiger hurler,
and all the credit in the world
is due him.

OLYMPIC FANS
TURN To WATER.

OLYMPIC WIMMIN G
STADIUM, LOS ANGELES, Aug.
6.-Interest in the Olympic games
today shifted to the swimming
championships.
Trials in the 100-meter free
style both men and women; 200
meter Womans breastStroke, and
two water polo contests opened
the tank program.
The successor to Johnny Weiss
muller's title as the fastest
human fish" brought entries from
II nations in the 100 meters.
Four preliminary heats and the
semi-finals were to be held today,
with the finals tomorrow after
noon.
The initial appearance of
H e lene M a d son, Americas
premier mermaid, also drew con-
siderable attention. She is
entered in the women's 1OO-meter
event, which has 20 entries from
10 countries. Eleanor Garatti
Saville and Josephine McKim
are Americas other entrants.
DR.. Stephen Barany, the Hun
garian sprint star, who finished
second to Weissmuller in 1928 is
in excellent condition and one of
the favorites for the title.
DR.. Barany, Miyazaki and
Spence are expected to win their
way into the finals. Each has
been timed in So seconds in prac-
tice. That time is 3 of a second
better than WeiSsmuller's Olym-
pic record
In water polo, Germany plays
Hungary, and the United States
plays Brazil. Japan, the fifth en-
trant drew bye.

OPTIMISTIC
FOR SERIES
BY SID KATZNELL

Ed DOWery, local S'IIlOn FlllC-
ers baseball manager, is taking a
crippled, but optimistic contin-
gent of players to Twin Cities,
Mimi, tomorrow to defend their
crown in the twenty-second annual
Union Printers International
Baseball League. They will leave
early tomorrow morning by au-
tomobiles. The majority of the
friends of the players and wives
will make the trip Monday by
rail.
Tuck" Dalglish, ST Simons and
Norman Hutchinson are on the
injured list, but they will be able
to play. Dalglish suffered the
most painful injury. He broke
his jaw while participating in a
Departmental League game July
IA and has been out of action
since. "Tuck's" jaw has mended
faster than the physicians an
ticipated. He lost considerable
weight but maintains that he'll
be able to play in at least one
of the games.
Johnny Reid is the only new
player who will be seen in the
local aggregation's lineup when
it takes the field in its initial
contest. He is the son of Hugh
Reid. foreman at Government
Printing Office.
To Aid Locals
Reid has played excellent ball
around the keystone this season.
and the locals look for him to
aid them considerably both in the
field and at the bat.
Heine Webb, Dixie Desper, and
Ed LoWery will be making their
second journey to the Twin
Cities. Desper was managing the
team on the first trip.
The Printers have had a fair
season so far. They finished up
strongly in the first half-Series of
the Departmental League, to cap
ture first-division berth in the
second half-series.
One of their greatest achieve
mentS in the second half-series
is stinging defeat to the highly
touted G. P. o. baseballers, who
won the first half championship.
In this game, Tom Heany demon
Strated that he is ''raring to CO."
He pitched an exceptional fine
game.
Plenty of Hurlers
Other pitchers the Typos are
banking on are Gladstone Rouda-
bush, Charlie Jeffries, Norman
Hutchinson and Heinie Webb.
Wait, we can't leave out ST ST.
mons, who can pitch, catch, play
the outfield and infield. Some
body said:
1T is too bad they don't have
any more positions in baseball
so SimonS can play them"
Freddy Waple is another player
the opposition must keep their
eyes on. He is a graceful initial
Sacker, as you can see on the
sandlots, and a dangerous hitter
at all times.
Those making the trip follow:
Commissioner Desper also vice
president of the league.
Manager Ed LoWery, Norman
Hutchinson, Heinie Webb, 81 ST.

'IhaG would indicate N large
measure that the absence of
Reynolds to the Griffmen was
more deleterious to their
chances than the absence of
Dfckey was to TIE Yankees. 1t
would appear that the Yanks
about held their own with
Dickey out while the Griffmen
dropped behind a game and a
half with Reynolds out of the
game a, month. All of which
does not take into account fur
ther handicap the Griffs may
suffer before Reynolds returns.

Democratic Committeeman
Costello Charges "Intimi-
dation Campaign"

Minor Government officials includ-
ing bureau chiefs and sub-chiefs, are
carrying on whispering campaign OF
intimidation and petty tyranny" to pre-
vent Federal employees from voting in
the coming presidential election, John
F. Costello, Democratic national COM
mitteeman for the District, charged
yesterday.
Information received at Democratic
headquarters here indicates, Costello
declared, that this nefarious practice
prevails not only in the executive de-
partments, but in the field services"
AS a result Of the whispering cam
paign," Costello said, numerous mel,
and women are afraid to register and
vote, for fear of reprisals from some
one in temporary authority above
them"
"Warnings Trickle Down."
Warnings, he continued. have been
'trickling down through the rank and
file of Federal workers." creating a sit =
uation that is destructive of morale -
Thousands of Government employees are
absentee voters" entitled to cast bal
lots in their home States a month in
advance, he pointed out.
Il do not charge that the White
House or heads of departments are di-
rectly responsible for this un-American
situation" he explained But there
must be some encouragement for this
sort of thing higher up.
There came to me recently a man
who has been in the Government service
here for generation or more He is
due for early retirement with an old
age allowance. However he has received
a broad intimation that his retirement
privileges may be jeopardized. A woman,
with leave coming to her. asked for four
days off to go home and register She
was not only denied the furlough. but

Men and women entering the Gov

constitutional right of suffrage. They
are entitled to attend political meetings
and to cast their ballots. just as long as
their activities do not constitute So
called 'pernicious political activity
Minor officials have devious ways of
getting back at underlings who displease
them. A bureau chief or Subchief can
chalk up something on the efficiency
ratings of any employe, and demotions
or dismissals can follow a manufactured
record of inefficiency. Furloughs enter
into the present equation. and an en-
ploye and potential voter suspected of
antagonism to the administration may
be easily and secretly disciplined"
