So excited are these same fans
that johnson and Alexander
have been forgotten already, par
ticularly in view Of Webb's debut
which saw him crack out two
doubles at timely moments
against the Griffmen Wednesday.
The once former Chicago Cub
performer is truly a timely addi-
ton to the Tigers. He'll give 'em
strength where they've needed it
all seasonal bat.
Develops as Fielder
Webb is not only an estab-
lished batSman, but polished
fielder-something that he was
not when he first came to the
American League to the Griff-
men from the Chicago Cubs.
Webb was not a fielder then,
in fact knew little about it. and
that's why your Uncle Clark
Griffith passed him along to the
Boston Red Sox in deal for Bill
Barrett.
Now Webb is with a team
which should offer him double in
centiYe to star even more So than
with Boston. The Tigers, al
though they are one day in the
first division and the second divi-
sion next, are the sort of club that
needs only a little boost to be
right in the thick of the fight.
Gets Cleanup Post
Manager Bucky Harris had
Webb in fifth place in his batting
order Wednesday and Thursday
against the Griffs. But in the
two final games on schedule he
plans to place him in the cleanup
position.
The big fellow wouldn't look
bad as a Griffman instead of a
Tiger, eh what? Webb may thank
his stars that Boston gave him
his chance to develop.

WALKER FACES
MARTINEZ

Local tennis has returned TO
normalcy locally as far as fair
racqueteers are concerned.
Mrs. Ruth Martinez and
Frances walker are again bat
Ting in the finals of local
tournament, and all is right with
the world.
They are to meet tomorrow
for the women's District League
championship at Columbia Coun-
try Club at o'clock.
Mrs. Martinez disposed of Mrs.
George P. Stone, 1881 City Of
Washington singles champion. in
a hard-fought three set match.
6-1, 0-6, Ga. Mrs. Martinez
was a little too accurate at vital
points for Mrs. Stone. Mrs.
Stone displayed a devastating
net attack to take the second
set, but the tireless, inexorable
game of Mrs. Martinez tri-
umphed.
Happy Jacobs, favored to gain
the District of Columbia junior
title. was on the outside looking
in as the result of a surprise
60 and "a beating at the
hand of Kent Boyle of Friends.
Boyle was to meet Tom Moor
head for the title today. Moor
head had triumphed over Spen-
Ger Howell. 6-1, 6-2.
Bob Doyle and Stanley Denni-
son reached the boys finals,
Doyle turning back Pete Allnut,
6-3, 6-3, and M. C. Oliphant
falling before DenniSon by the
same count.
Henry Park and Monument.
Public Parks Tennis League top
teams, were facing tough assign
mentS today. Henry was to try
conclusions with Rock Creek and
MontroSe was to make things hot
for Monument. Potomac, de-
Tending titlists, were scheduled to
meet Pierce Mill.
Entries for the Middle Atlantic
doubles are to close on Monday.
The tournament is open to all
tennis players of the Middle At
lantic regions. Entries should be
forwarded to Arthur Slater at the

triple to right field with two on
base which actually turned the
game towards the Griffs favor,
and made Lefty Lloyd Brown
pitch all the better because of the
lead his mates got for him.
The Griffs have two more
games against the Tigers before
meeting the Cleveland Indians in
four engagements next week, be-
ginning Monday.
The aim of the club is to take
at least four of these contests,
with hopes, of course, held that
they might win all six.
The rest of the trip should be
interesting.

Was a Dark Horse

But, as we started to say,
the nomination of Charley Cur
tbs is a victory for the sports
pages. He was a dark horse.
In fact he was so dark a lot
of people are accusing him OF
being Indian. Anyway, it means
that if the Republicans win
next November, we will con-
tinue to have Curtis with us
on Saturday afternoons at
Bowie, Laurel and Pimlico.
If the Republicans lose, Cur
tis will be there EVERY DAY.
He's got to make a living some
way, and being Vice President
ruins a man for ever rolling
up his sleeves and going to
work.
Yes sir, they tried to jockey
Curtis out of his job, but he
won going away and thereby
upheld one of the strongest
traditions of his former profes-
sion. For once there was more
interest in who would be the
vice presidential nominee than
the presidential.

WANT CLEAR
WEATHER
Rx SID KATZNELL

Sandlot baseball managers are
praying for favorable weather to-
morrow so that they can let
their impatient players loose on
various diamonds around the
city.
Last Sunday inclement climate
on our shores caused the post
ponement of all sandlot games
and also confined the players Of
the mines indoors, which was not
a pleasant situation for fellows
who are used to playing ball on
the Sabbath.
Here's two teams that have
been more impatient than the
rest of the aggregations COM
bined because they usually play
two games on Sunday. They are
the Skinker Eagles and the Ma
jestic Radio mines.

have not lost a game to a Wash.

anticipate adding a win over the
Eagles to their already excel
lent record.
Manager Clipper is not worried
in the least, as he has two real
FINGERS to throw against them in

Tomorrow they play a double

burg Elks at Fredericksburg, Va.
The Majestic party leaves from

ing at $50 o'clock.
Manager Wyche is enthusiastic
over the acquisition of Ed Duffy

merly played with the Auth's

of Washington's standout Sandlot
pitchers.

The Gold Cup regatta. one of the

The Washington times., 1932-06-18

The Griffs have performed in
10 contests on this particular
journey since June 7, when they
opened with an. 8-to-5 triumph
over the Chicago White Sox.
Their complete record reads five
games won against the same
number lost.
In these encounters Manager
Johnson's men have stepped to
the plate 362 times and have
socked out 98 hits for the just
fair-to-middling average of .271.
Included in these 98 bingleS have
been 80 for extra bases, namely
II doubles, 5 triples and 8 home
runs.
The Griffs have collected more
than their share of hits in the
daily games, but in the majority
of cases have not gathered them
at the right time-or when they
might have won ball games.
Which accounts for the teams
even-Stephen average in the mat
ter of games won and lost,
Must Keep 500 Pace
Any club holding hopes of win
ming the pennant must play
better than 500 baseball. The
Griffs haven't done this, as the
figures will show. Still there's
the possibilities ahead of a
brighter showing in the six games
left before Washington is reached,
June "a.
Probably the indifferent pitch
ing that has been received can be
blamed in part for the Griffs'
"juSt fair" showing. Yes, the
hurting can be blamed for a
great deal of it, but still several
of the games lost could have
been on the right side of the
ledger had the hitters come
through at bat when runs we're
needed.
In defense Of the hitters, how
ever, is the fact that they have
had to play without the services
of Joe Cronin until Thursday.
There's no doubt about it, the
entire team has felt the absence
of Jumping Joe because of that
individuals faculty of being
there" in the pinch.
Also the absence of Heine
Manush was felt for the first
few games of the trip. The
Dutchman got back into the
lineup, however. on June 10 and
his hits helped a great deal. But
he alone could not carry the
club along.
Johnson Hopeful
So it has been. Manager John,
son is a little more confident that
his team will win more games
from now on with Cronin back in
the lineup. This fact was dem
onstrated Thursday against the
Tigers when it was Joe's slaShing

The Connecticut Co is not talk Ing tips from patrons, but even so many of them would respectfully suggest that the sylvan avenue bus discharge such passengers as desire to alight on the down town trip at the corner of Grand and South Main streets, instead of at the corner of Union and South Main streets. Under the present plan, people who get off at that point have to go oyer the danger- ous crossing on South Main street. while this could he avoided by making the stop on the Grand street corner.
 Going in the other direction, the present plan Is all right for pass engers to board the bus or get off on Union street. Of coure the company has some good reason for It's regulation at that point. but patrons cannot see the benefit or k fs as F !
