FUNDS FOR PARK
PROJECTS LACKING
improvements Between Ave-
nue. and p Street and Zoo
Highway Affected.

Now that lighting of the Rock Greek
aad Potomac Pathways roadways, be-
tween P street and Massachusetts ave-
nue., has been completed, two major
construction Jobs remain to be ac-
complished. but the office of public
>Tlidings and public parks lacks money
ror them.
The parkway between P street and
PENNSYLVANIA avenue has yet to be I'M
proved and large Gmount of exca-
waiting of earth and grading will be
necessary in that area and new high
way will have to be constructed around
the Zoo. so as not to disturb the sleep
of the animals at night.
Work to Start Soon.
The District Government is now ar
ranging to start work soon on the new
street bridge across Rock Greek.
This bridge will provide for greater
clearance than the present structure
and permit the construction of the
parkway highway down in the valley,
when funds become available.
OfnctalS of the office of public build
ton say that the use of the present
read in Rock Greek Valley, through
the National Geological Fark. is out of
the question ct night, as the roaring
bl dup(Al~pi-tS hOu-u NiLSlUL bLlS dIll-
mis-. Es a consequence at sundcwn
tn2 Zoos gates are closed and the
public is denied admission to that Sec
ton of the valley.
The parkway between Massachusetts
avenue and P street is practically COM
pleted, with the exception of a traffic
bridge near the Japanese embassy, and
this is nearly finished.
New Road Planned.
Oficials of the office ofpublic build
1ngs and public parks propose to start
construction of a new road in the
northern end of Rock Greek Park in a
few weeksrto link up with the Maryland
development now going forward in the
valley. The grading and curbs for
this already are in and the surfacing
will be completed in the Spring.
Recently Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd,
director of public buildings and public
parks, let a contract for the construc-
ton of bridge at L street across
Rock Greek. This will carry the de-
velopment northward to Pennsylvania
avenue.

OF course, the parlors are not as
busy as in the cooler days, what
with golf, baseball and, during
the early spring and late fall, the
"gee-gees" pounding nearby tracks.
However, the green-cloth haunts
are not nearly as deserted as the
big bowling barns. Every estab-
lishment has several tables going
az all hours of the day, and the
ivory bugs are just as engrossed
in their game as in the dead of
winter.
Dudley Popular
Dudley, hash variation of the
three-cushion game, is the most
popular during the summer
months, but pocket billiards and
straight three-cushion also have
their rabid devotees.

TWO CANES

Another twin polo bill is on
the card at the Potomac polo
oval today in the Argentine Cup
series, thanks to yesterdays win.
The War Whites, one of the
favored teams, makes it's first
appearance today in tilt with
the surprising Quantico Marines
four. The Marines, rated lowly,
flashed brilliantly by upsetting
the Third Cavalry Greens in the
first round, 8-6, Monday. The
Whites will have to give the Ma
rines four-goal handicap, which
makes it bad.
Third Cavalry Yellows expected
to battle War Whites in the fl
mails, will also debut today against
the War Blues, a fairly strong
team, but not rated in the Caval-
rymen's class. However, the gen.
erous handicaps allowed gives the
underdogS a real chance.

The men of Mccarthy have got
ten both in big gobs this year.
And they're being favored with
it day in and day out, and no
doubt they will continue to be
favored until the pennant is
cinched.
The team possesses an excellent
crew of pitchers. The list in
cludes Lefty Gomez, winner of
IA games; George Pipgras, a tried
and true veteran; Charlie Ruff
ing, man-mountain right-hander; ;
Herb Pennock, veteran left-hand-
er; Johnny Allen, who pitched
yesterdays game, and Danny
MacFayden, the bespectacled
Highlander recently corralled
from the Boston Red Sox.
Then there are the second
StringerS, Wells, Rhodes, Brown
and Murphy, but the above-men-
toned are the "staff" and what a
staff when their records for the
season are reviewed.
Powerful Hitters
In regards to batting the
likely pennant winners have Lou
Gehrig and Babe Ruth. Then,
there is Tony Lazzeri who is
playing a bang-up game; Earl
Combs and joey Sewell. two vet
Grams who are enjoying great
seasons; Bill Dickey, considered
one of the hardest hitting
catchers in the league: Ben
Chapman, a pretty good left
fielder. and Lyn Larry, a better
than average hitting shortstop.
These performers are not only
good hitters, but they are get
ting their hits when they are
needed. Yesterdays game in
which they tanned the Griffs, S
to 2, was characteristic in
stance, and countless others have
been won the same way.
McCarthy's men collected only
four hits yesterday, but three of
them counted heavily. In the
third inning, joey Sewell hit a
homer into the right field
bleacherS with Combs on base
for two runs.
In the fourth Combs singled
with three on base while in the
sixth Lazzari hit a homer into
the left field stands with none
on. Larry singled after Lazzeri's
homer for the other Yankee hit
of the day, but this did not fig.
ure in any scoring as there were
two out at the time
Thomas Wild
WildneSS hurt Tommy Thomas,
Manager Johnson's pitcher, more
than anything else. Particularly
was this true when Combs got
his hit in the fourth. The first
two batters were easy out. How.
ever, Thomas walked Lazzeri, Larry
and Allen in succession and
Combs followed with single to
right, which scored the first
named pair. Sewell's homer in
the third followed a walk to
Combs.
The Griffs gathered six hits off
Johnny Allen, who pitched for the

AIDS DETROIT
WITH TIMELY
HITTING
ByAuN;@ By

-EW YORK CITY, June %.
Two :. ..C..S have passed since the
trading season was officially
closed, and up to the present time
there his been but one outstanc
ing performer among the players
who switched clubs in our league.
A little later, perhaps, it will be
possible to place a finger on the
club that profited the most Of
these eleventh-hour transfers, just
before the time for such deals
came to an official end.
This years trading showed
quite a shake-up of pitchers, and
six Of the eight American League
clubs came up with boXmen who
had been performing elsewhere.
Detroit, tl.y other club to take a
flier in the trading market, came
up with an outfielder in exchange
for two players, one an outfielder
and the other an infielder.
Mack Makes No Deals
Connie Mack was the only
American League manager who
let the trading season roll by with
out making a deal with some
other club in his legaue. Connie
dealt with Double A club for his
pitcher, taking Tony Freitas from
the Pacific Coast League.
RumorS have been flying around
that Connie tried hard to make
q deal before the time limit ex.
pired, and some of his headlinerS
were mentioned in these reports.
But at any rate, nothing de.
veloped and Mack will now have
to go along with what he has.
II one had to pick at this time
the traded player who got away
best in his new uniform the
choice undoubtedly would be Earl
Webb, who went from the Red
Sox to the Tigers.
Starts Immediately
He started in with some timely
hitting as soon as he joined the
Tigers and has been prominent
in several of Detroit's successes
since he changed clubs. The
transfer from taiIender to a
club which is battling up there
in the first Lewiston would have
q beneficial effect on almost any
ball player.
But getting back to the pitch
ers who figured in most of the
trading in our league, none of
them stepped out as a steady
winner with his new club. note
that Flint Rhem proved a very
valuable acquisition for the Phil
lies by winning four games in a
row, one against his former ST.
Louis team mates and another
against the league leading Cubs
But in the American League the
pitchers have had hard time
winning favor with their new
clubs.

DUSEK IS KEEN
To TOSSFOE

Rudy Dusek is doubly anxious
to toss Gino Garibaldi in their
wrestling match at the Clark
Griffith Stadium tomorrow night.
DuSek realizes that a victory over
the skillful Italian grappler will
be a stepping stone to bouts with
Fred Grobmier and Jim Londos.
The wildcat" is also more than
eager to hook-up with Jim Nc
Millen in a return meeting. Their
last engagement ended in a As
minute draw, and Dusek heard
reports that many fans had as
serted that McMillen should have
been declared the winner on
points.
Nothing irritates Dusek more
than to listen to such, reports.
He believes he's better man
than Garibaldi and McMillen and
as good as Grobmier and LondoS.
Thus, the colorful DuSek will
enter the arena tomorrow night
determined to lambast the day
lights out of Garibaldi. Then, if
victorious, he will demand a re-
turn match with McMillen to
prove his claims of superiority
over the former Illinois Univer-
Sity football star.
There will be other highSpots
tomorrow night. One should re-
suit in the meeting between Joe
Stecher, former world champion,
and that kingpin of villains,
Chief White Feather. They're
all alike to the warning Indian
he abuses champions and home
town favoriteS alike.
Marshall Blackstock. who halls
from the mountain regions of
Tennessee, will scuffle with Frank
Brunowicz. Blackstock must have
learned his wrestling under White
Feather, because he's mighty
cruel with opponents. Jim Nc
Millen and Jack Zarnos will also
collide, while the opening duel at
$3.50 p. M, will bring together
Berto Asserati, the gymnast, and
Jerry Monahan.

EX-GR|D STARS
CONFINED To
HOSPITALS
By HARRY COSTELLO

BY HARRY COSIELLO
Two men we'll known to fol-
lowers of athletics in Washington
are registered at local Govern
ment hospitals.
They are Major Charles DAILY
and Carl Smith.
The former was a great grid
star, first at Harvard and after
ward at West Point. He was an
all-America choice by Walter
Camp. For many years he
coached West Points football
teams.
Played Is Years Ago.
Smith came to Georgetown Uni
versity from Meriden, Conn. He
played for three years on the
Georgetown football team, from
1915 to 1917, war year.
Major DAILY was best known,
while he was coaching, as an in
structor in fundamental football.
His West Point teams were noted
for their remarkable knowledge
and execution of the rudiments
of the game.
Cmit.l, q little fellow, was a
swift-running, elusive player,
notcG for his ability in a broken
field.
Charley Cox, who was graduate
manager at Georgetown in
Smiths days as grid player, said
that had Carl been Is pounds
heavier he might have been one
of the great football players of
all time.
Ill Health Follows
Both DAILY and Smith have been
in i'll health.
DAILY is attached to the office
of the chief of staff. He is an
artilleryman.
After the war Smiths health
seemed to alternately improve
and decline. He went into civil
life, but i'll health followed him.
Finally he was forced to come to
Mt. Alto Hospital for complete
diagnosis. He is in that hospital
now.
Daly's career as a football man
and in the military has been a
colorful one.
He is probably as we'll known
as any officer in the United
States Army. Many critics CON.
slider him the greatest field gen.
eral football has ever known, not
even excepting the great Walter
Eckersall.
Successful Coach
AS a coach he was uniformly
successful until Notre Danes
grid teams began to sweep all
before them. The type of foot
ball played by West Point had to
be changed, and, besides, Days
turn for duty with troops in the
field came.
He was replaced, but only after
he had established an enviable
reputation as a coach. He is af-
fectionately remembered in foot
ball as a fine sportsman, emf
nently fair and Just.
Carl Smith was first a hero on
the teams of little Meriden High
School. He was a small boy then.
and he "scampered" around on
the field in most astonishing
manner. He was a great little
player. and might have become a
great college star had he given
football greater attention at
Georgetown. However, he was a
fine student, and when football
interfered with his studies he
sacrificed football.
The many friends Of Charles
DAILY and Carl Smith wish them
speedy recovery from their ILL
nesSeS.
