SLEUTHS MEET
NAVY NINE
TOMORROW
By SID KATZNELL

Enthusiasm will be quiet in the
week day baseball leagues today
but tomorrow the usual excite
ment will be aired as three games
are carded that should be attrac-
tive from every viewpoint. All
contests are to be played on the
beautiful EllipSe diamonds.
In the Georgetown Church
League. the West washington
ball hitters clash with Ninth
Street Christians who are vastly
improving in every game, on the
west field at Sis O'Clock.
MedIer to Pitch
Medler is ready to climb the
hill for the West Washington
Baptist nine while either Pohl or
Whitney will oppose him.
Investigation opposes the strong
Naval Hospital SwatSmen on the
south Ellipse and the league lead
ing G. P. o. mixes up with the
Agriculture "AggieS" on the north,
in the Departmental loop. Both
engagements will start promptly
at Sis o'clock.
Henderson and Hall will most
likely form the Naval Hospital
battery while the batteries for
the other teams have not been
decided upon, but the loyal De-
partmental League baseball en-
thuSiasts are to see some of their
favorite pitchers hurl in these
games.
Plenty of action was seen on
the local sandlots and nearby
yesterday afternoon.
Palais Royal baseballers kept
their winning streak intact in
the Department Store League by
trimming the S. Kann's Sons, z
to S. This marked the fourth
straight win for the Royalmen.
giving them undisputed posses
sion of first place.
BY virtue of their 10 to vic
tory over the Lansburgh Brothers,
the Hechtmen tied that club for
second place in the Department
Store wheel. Each has won two
and lost two. Walter Hurley
hurled excellent ball for the win
ners, allowing but five very scat
tered bingles. He was greatly
aided by the timely hitting Of
Mike" GaSs, who collected three
bingleS.
Tankmen Surprise
The Tank Corps of Camp
Meade surprised Charlie Corbett's
st. Mary's Celtics at Baggett's
Stadium, Alexandria, Va, by
sending them down to a Is to IA
defeat. The Celtics held a IA to
advantage in the fourth inning,
but weakened as the score indi-
Gates. The winning marker was
accounted for when Smith, the
Celtic pitcher committed a balk
allowing Keller. second baseman
for the Soldiers. to score.

WALKER FACES
MARTINEZ

Frances Walker and Ruth Mar
tinez will stage the umpSteenth
revival of their act, which has
featured the finals and SemifinalS
of local tennis tournaments for
three years, in the semifinal to
the City of washington women's
singles at Rock Greek at 4 o'clock.
These meetings are always pro
ductive of brilliant tennis, and
usually the winner, when not
actually gaining the champion
ship with the match, manages to
win the final.
Sendel and Staubly hook up
with Major Dorst and Lieutenant
Smith for the mems doubles
title, and it should be a grand
scuffle. Both teams have scored
several brilliant upset victories
to reach the finals.
Dooly Mitchell successfully de-
Tended his mems singles crown
by Subduing that gaunt ghost of
tennis. Bob Considine, 6-2, 4-6,
IS, 60.
Bob, anxious to regain his high
pedestal, strove nightly to topple
the curly-locked wizard. but
Mitchell was hitting just little
too hard and little too accu-
rately.
Staubly and Sendel knocked
ollt Mason and Hunt in the
doubles semifinals, Ga, 6-3.

Yesterdays final game be-
tween the Griffs and Yanks at
Griffith Stadium, offers an inter
esting example. Because Of his
slim pitching staff, and because
of an important series against
the AS, Manager Johnson pre-
vailed upon the element Of uncer-
tainty yesterday-hopeful Of be-
in favored by a triumph in re-
ward for his gamble.
Instead Of starting Fred Mar
berry, the logical choice to gain
the edge in the series against the
McCarthymen, he began with
Bobby Burke, slender lefthander.
Bobby, never known to be a world
beater during his five years as a
big Lacquer, pitched for a few in.
nings as If he might turn in a
winning effort for a change.
Fifth Inning Tells
But came his Waterloo in the
fifth, and away went the ball
game, Johnson'S hopes, and the
bringing into the picture the ele-
ment of uncertainty that did not,
in this instance, favor Johnson.
With 2-to-1 lead, Bobby ran into
real trouble in this fifth and be-
fore it was all over the YankS had
scored three times, Frank Rag
l,-1ld had been inserted into the
box and the Griffs found them
selves behind, to 2.
Ragland hurled nice ball until
the eighth when the YankS
coupled two hits with a base on
balls for three markers. Carl
Fischer finished and was far from
himself, the Yanks counting three
times to sew up the proceedings.
Johnson Takes Gamble
Johnson gambled yesterday for
these reasons, according to his
comments this morning. Realiz-
ing that the AS must be defeated
as we'll as the Yanks, he started
Burke because he wanted to shoot
the supposed strongest against
Connie Mack's men without using
up his staff, which will need the
services Of every first-Stringer to
win.
Therefore, the gamble sends
General Alvin Crowder, Big Fred
Marberry and Lefty Lloyd Brown
against the AS in the series here
today and tomorrow. Maybe they'll
win, maybe they won't. OF course
the element Of uncertainty, chance,
or what-have-you, must work itself
out and it's naturally hoped that
johnson and his ideas will triumph.
But you never can tell in base
ball.
Mates Whale Ball
The Griffs lost yesterdays game,
incidentally, II to 8. Lefty Gomez,
who pitched throughout for the
YankS, was hit hard in final
check-up, and might have found
a loss charged against his record
had not his mates piled up a sub
stantial lead for him as the game
progressed.
Leading IL to as the Griffs
took their ninth-inning turn at
bat, Gomez was reached for four
hits for four runs which might |
have been very damaging had not
that, mentioned lead been held.
Heine Manush's homer with two
on base showed three Of the four |
markers across while Spencer'S
single and Rice's one-baser counted
the other. Manush led the Griffs |
at bat with four hits. Ruth got |

WESTERNERS
IMPROVING
STEADILY
Nv GNO SIM.

What can be safely dubbed the
most exciting high school base
ball series played IN years comes
to a close tomorrow with what is
confidently expected to be the
1oudeSt detonation of them all
when Western piles into Eastern
in the third game of the play-ott
Of the three-cornered tie at East
ern Stadium at $3.50.
Western must win tomorrow to
gain undisputed possession OF the
title. If the GuyoniteS come OIL
victors, thus making 1T one WIN
and one loss all around the triple
tie for the championship will be
allowed to stand.
Cliff Noo-e's crew will go into
tomorrow's fray with a strange
feeling upon them. They will be
the favorites. .Tot odds-on IaV-
orites, by a long shot, but 1aV-
orites, n 'ertheleSS.
They have already beaten East,
ern. Besides they wiped o. I ~
inning defeat they suffered at
Central's hand in the regular
series by crushing them under
the most lop-sided score registered
this season in the playoft game
Thursday.
Darkens Sunset
uowever a Young gentleman OF
southpav persuasion, yclept DICK
Eanahan, darkens the sunset tor
the Westerners. Dick, bringing 10
a close four years Of honorable
service on the high school mound,
and generally accepted as the
standout all-high moundsman 1or
the first three of those years, Will
be grimly determined to avenge
the only defeat he has suffered
during that period.
On the other side Of the plate,
the Georgetowners, having touno
the lanky chap quite vulnerable,
will strive to satisfy themselves 1or
all time of this vulnerability.
Improve Steadily
Cliff Moore's youngsters have
been showing remarkable improve
ment with each succeeding game.
The way they took the Navy plebeS
over the jumps Saturday (and
without wild Bill" Payne tossing
'en up) proves that the team as
a whole has been greatly under
rated.
In the preseason dope. western
was considered dangerous, but no
serious title contender. Central
was the favorite with Eastern sec.
ond choice. wild, Bill" Payne
was regarded as the whole team.
When Central tripped Payne up
in Westerns first appearance it
looked like curtains. for the boys
from over the creek. They had
trouble beating Tech and Busl-
ness.
Looked Like Cinch
Eastern, hard=presSed, it's true,
but unbeaten, looked like a cinch
to cop its fifth consecutive base
ball title when it faced the West
ernenders in the final clash. Then
the fury broke and EaStern's long
winning streak was broken on its
twentieth appearance. AS a
smooth, efficient, smart fielding.
hard-hitting team rose to the
heights, ably supporting brilliant
pitcher.
Mullock, Martin, Willhoite, De
Stefan and Clarke sparkled along
side Of Payne. This combination
glittered even more brightly in
turning the tables on Central
when Payne was in wobbly
mood. s. ..
Tomorrow the team may touch
the pinnacle or else. But win,
- lose or draw, Western can be
proud of it's 1892 record.

Paraguay Troops Aban- doned One Fort and Bolivia Is Wild With Excitement Over That SkirmiSh

Asuncion. Paraguay, Aug L. OP)-The government decided to- day to order general mobilization after Paraguayan troops abandon ed Fort Boqueron. in the Gran Chaco, in the face of a Bolivian bombardment.
 Newspapers and the public con- tinued to demand war against Bolivia. There were repeated mili- tary clashes in the Gran Chaco, the jungle territory which had caused threat of hostilities between Para quay and Bolivia for many years.
 The cabinet decided to continue state of seize. It was announced that Bolivian troops bean the att tack on Fort Boqueron with an artillery bombardment. beginning Sunday at 3 a. m. the Paraguayans abandoned the fort. without loss. on orders of the high command.
 Paraguay claims that her troops have not been guilty of aggression. and that the withdrawal was in ac- cordance with this policy.
 La Paz. Bolivia, Aug 1.-(UP)- Official announcement of military victories in the Gran Chaco sent the Bolivian war spirit to new. higll levels, today with popular demand for further action against Para quay.
 When the capture of Fort Boqu- eron was announced, audiences in. cinemas rose and sang the national anthem. crowds formed quickly in the streets. and impromptu parades cheered President Salamanca and shouted down with Paraguay"

TWO SENATOR'S SLATED TO BE
 BLACKMAILED
Room Where Woman and Man Were Found Dead, Had Counterfeit Money and Evidence of Intend= ed Blackmail

New York, Aug 1-UP)-Two United States senators were the intended victims of blackmail plot suggested in evidence police said they found in a dingy room here with the bodies of an attrac- tive platinum blond. her murder suspect companion, counterfeiting equipment. and spurious $5 bills.
 Police did not name the sena- tors. They said the little black record book containing their names and the names of other prominent men disappeared almost under their very eyes during their inves- tigation.
 Pictures of the woman with several men, apparently surprised by the photographer, were found with. the book.
 And $900 in $5 bills produced on the "very excellent" counterfeit ing material was found in the room.
 The name of the blond was un- known early to-day. Her compan- ion was Robert l.. Conroy, sought by police since 1928 as a suspect in a Toledo. Ohio. murder.
 Lights that had burned for two days and Tapping window shade caused a taxicab driver to call po- lice to Conroy's fiat yesterday.

SEEK SOLDIER
 IN THE MURDER
 OF TAXI DRIVER

Fairfield. Conn, Aug 1-(UP)- Police seeking a man in military uniform who shot and killed George Butler, 35, Bridgeport taxi-cab driver, Saturday, to-day entertained the possibility robbery was not the sole motive in the staying.
 Taking all evidence into consid- eration I believe there was another, motive besides robbery" declared Constable Hezekiah R. Elwood.
 Butler was shot through the head and his pockets emptied of a nights fares. Police throughout the east were asked to look for slima lean-faced man in soldiers uniform who rode tokard Fairfield from Bridgeport railroad station with Butler.
 A theory the slayer might have been a desperate and destitute member of the bonus army was considered by investigators. This was based on statements of taxi, cab drivers that the man wore a trench cap instead of the regular felt campaign hat of an army prl- vate. and the discovery that the revolver used was not .45 calibre army gun but .32 calibre revol- yer.

Governor Ely, the Great Ally of Al Smith, Is Back in the Fold and Will Begin to Work

Boston, Aug 1-(UP)-Harmony seemed almost completely restored to the democratic party in the esat today following the announcement of Governor Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts, ardent advocate of Alfred E Smith, that he will sup port the Roosevelt Garner ticket.
 In a statement last night in which he also announced his can- didacy for reelection as govehnor, Ely said his conference with Gov ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt last week convinced him that the pres- idential nominee would carry out the party platform with earnest and energetic action"
 Having in mind the broad pur- poses of my party, and the accomp- lishment of those things for which it has declared itself, I shall give my support to ~-the democratic ticket of Roosevelt. and Garner" the Massachusetts governor es- serted.
