Tennis Queen All Set for Long European Trip
HELEN SAILS
FOR FRANCE
APRIL q
By RALPH B. JORDAN

SAN FRANCISCO, April 81,
Anticipating "a real good time"
Helen Wills Moody, the slender,
dark-eyed queen of the tennis
world, packed a set of luggage at
her San Francisco home today
for another invasion Of European
courts.
She will entrain tonight for
New York and sail for France
April 81.
Pm awfulIy eager for the
trip" she told international

rOpean players, so many of
whom never come to America.

The shadow was reflected

tournament in England in June
and the Forest Hills champion

Baseball Fatalities

It makes a lot of difference
how, when and under what con-
ditions a lot of things happen.
We have in mind in such a
statement the two deaths which
have occurred in four days upon
baseball fields, one in Milwau-
kee and the other in Anderson,
S. C. News of each was printed
obscurely and in small detail,
probably through thoughtless-
ness, because baseball, not con-
Sidered a dangerous sport, pro-
duces comparavtily few fatal in
jurieS.
This very fact, it seems to us,
makes a baseball death bigger
news than one resulting from
football conflict, because foot
ball is the sport that is associ-
ated with bloodshed and the
very Grim Reaper himself.
Had these two deaths re-
suited on the gridiron we are
almost sure you would have
seen the tidings thereof
plaStered prominently in the
press and by now several
Investigations would have been
under way with a view toward
altering the rules of the game
so as to obviate repetitions.

HYDER LEADS
CENTRAL WIN

Central scored a handy IL to 7
victory over Hyattsville High, as
Charley Hyder starred both on
the mound and at bat.
The HyattsvillianS got at him
in the fifth inning, crashing out
five hits, which, with a base
on balls and hit by pitcher, gave
the Prince George nine six runs,
tieing the score.
The Blue and White rallied in
the sixth and eighth frames,
tallying three runs in each to
sew up the game. "PeeWee"
Chumbris collected four hits, in
Guiding a triple Hyder allowed
seven safeties and drove out
three safeties himself.
Western again displayed a
strong and timely attack then
it made the most of nine hits
to down Georgetown Prep. IL to
8 yesterday. Both teams had
nine bingles.
Alexandria High diamonders
are at Charlotte Hall, Md, play
ing a game with the Academy
team there. Jack Hudson was
scheduled to take the hill for
Alexandria.
Laurel High nine needs more
seasoning, according to it's coach
so the series with Hyattsville for
the Prince Georges title was
postponed to q later date.

All because Bobby came through
with the hit which won his own
game to 3 after nine nip and
tuck innings. Johnson, when
questioned on the subject after
the game, had this to say:
'Why send a pinch hitter up
when there were two out at the
time? No use in that. Sup
pose the pinch hitter failed to
come through? 1t would only
have meant the warming up of
another pitcher who might not
have been able to hold 'em.
AS it turned out, Burke went
up there and SOcked a beauti.
full single to win his game. Of
course it was a chance but
that's what's got to be taken in
baseball. If there had been
only one out, you bet your
sweet life I'd have sent up a
pinch hitter. But it was either
do or die in this case and
Bobby came through to make
things rosy"
Winning that game yesterday
was indeed something out of the
ordinary. Why? Because Danny
MacFayden had the Griffs eating
heartily out of his hands during
the early innings.
But came the seventh and what
an awakening from a Griff stand
point as the final score brings out.
Trailing 2 to o, West, first up,
singled for the third Griff hit of
the day. Cronin famed, but Rice
tripled to right center, sending in
West. Next came a single by
Judge which counted Rice tying
the score. From this time on
things developed into a state of
excitement that did not end until
Burke's timely bingle in the ninth.
Judge Starts Things
The Red Sox went out in order
in the eighth but showed over a
run in the ninth which looked like
the old ball game. But came the
GriffS' end of the ninth which
brought many fans who had left
the park, clamoring back into the
stands.
Cronin, first up, grounded out
to Pickering and Rice flied to Oil
yer. But Joe Judge started things
by singing sharply to left. Here,
McFayden got careless and walked
BIuege. Spencer followed with a
single to center scoring Judge with
the tying run.
Burke Stalked to the plate at
this stage amid the walls from
thu grandstand managers for a
pinch hitter. Picking out Mac
Fayden'S first pitch Bobby smote
in to right between McManuS and
Van Camp, driving across Bluege
for what was the deciding marker.
All told the GriffS collected
eight hits off MacFayden, six in
the last three innings. The Sox
got five off Burke. a single by
Oliver and homer by McManus,
totaling two runs in the second
inning.

HARRIS
FORM ABLE:
PAIR
By GARRETT WATERS

It's an i'll team that boards no
reserves. The Griffs may not be
the most protected entry in the
world this year in regards to re.
serve strength, but there's one
thing certain. Manager johnson
has two excellent utility men
among his outfield corp in the per.
sons of Sam Rice and Dave Har-
riS.
What these fellows can't do is a
matter of a little counting on
your 10 fingers which is even less
than that when one stops to
think how either or both can step
into the picture at moments
notice and deliver as if they had
been playing regularly all of theA
time.
Both Rice and Harris have sub
stituted during the past two days
in the absence of Carl Reynolds,
first-string right fielder. Harris
delivered all to the mustard in
Tuesdays game against the AS at
Philadelphia when he socked out
three hits in four trips to the
plate. Rice played yesterday
against the Red Sox at Griffith
Stadium, handled himself as Of
old in the field, and pasted out 4
triple in the seventh inning which
drove across a run.
No Kick Coming
Yes sir, the Griffs should not
have any kick coming when it
comes to reserve strength in the
outfield department. Not only
Reynolds but the rest of the regu-
lar group can become disabled
in the future and johnson will
have this competent pair to throw
into the breach and they'll de-
liver for the short while that
they will find. it necessary to
play.
Speaking of Reynolds, this per-
former was expected to be back
in harness for today's second
game of the series with the Red
Sox. The outfielder spent all of
yesterday in bed to check what
ever sway his cold might have
gotten on him had he been in
action.
Reynolds cold is not of the
serious type, but. aggraVating
enough to have made him feel very
uncomfortable the past two days.
There is a possibility that he will
not play again today, but reports
from club headquarters this
morning said that he would. SO
that's that as far as the reports
are concerned.
CrOwder HurlS Today
Becoming firmer in his belief
that the Red Sox are going TO
be unusually hard to beat,
particularly after yesterdays
opener of the series which the
Griffs won. 4 to 3, Manager
johnson has nominated Gen.
Alvin CroWder as his pitcher fore
today's game.
Crowder is tied with Monte
Weaver in the matter of Griff
victories for the year, by the
way. Both have two to their
credit. That splendid / to 0
effort opening day was the
generals first victorious effort,
while his relief work in Mondays
game at Philadelphia earned him
his other triumph for the year.
With his mates going so we'll
right now there's a swell chance
of CroWder turning in his third"
win Of the season this afternoon.
Incidentally the chances are
doubled with the veteran in such
fine form himself at this time.
Jack Russell undoubtedly will be
the Boston pitcher.

P|CKETNG RULE.
UNDER FIRE

For the last four months a Sec
ton of the new sign board regula-
tions has been in effect prohibit
ing strike pickets, but it was not
until today that this was dis
covered.
The section of the regulations
forbids any advertisement of any
sort to be placed, maintained or
left in any highway, sidewalk or
alley and further forr'"S the carry
ing or transporting of any adver-
tising sign or banner over public
space.
Concerning the section covering
the ban on carrying banners by
strike pickets, Marx Lewis. attor-
ney for the local Fur Workers
Union, has written Daniel E.
Garges, secretary to the Commits
sioners. The letter was turned
over to Corporation Counsel Will
lam w. Bride, who today rendered
an opinion to the Commissioners.
1t held that the section "cer-
tainly includes the subject matter
of carrying banners on public
space, displaying or advertising
that there is a labor dispute at a
certain location" Attorney Lewis,
when informed of the opinion,
said he intended appealing to the
Commissioners for a public hear
ing as he did not think it was
the intention of the city heads to
forbid peaceful picketing.
