Hit Duel
By GARRETT WATERS

ST. LOUIS, July 27.-Members
of the Griffs and st. Louis
Browns had an interesting visit"
during batting practice before the
start of yesterdays game and the
talk narrowed down to one be-
tween Heinie Manush, of the
Griffs, and Goose Goslin, of the
Browns.
"See you're hitting pretty
good, Heinie," was GOslin's
comment.
"Yep," was Heinie's rejOinder.
'T'm going pretty well right
now and 1 only hope 1 can
keep it up"
Just Trying For Hits
you're not shooting at the
league leadership, are yOu?"
asked Goose.
would be kinda hard to get
up there, don't you think,
GOOse?" was Heinie'S answer.
"NO, I'm just trying to get
my hits every day, that's ALL"
"Well, how would you like to
wager that you and 1 will be
fighting it out for the hOnOrs
before the season is ended?"
offered Goose.
mot a chance" was Heine's
comeback, besides we both
would have to do some expert
slugging to turn the trick"
well, you wait and see.
You're away ahead of me right
now, but give me a couple of
weeks. I'm thinking it'll be
between you and me in little
while. Wait and see." GoSlin
speaking.
Away to Good Start
"All right, Goose. you're on"
was Heinie's snap. "HOw about
starting today? You On?"
"Get going" was GOOSe'S
reply. Lets see you go, first"
And go Heine did. as his four
hits in as many trips to the
plate in yesterdays game will
bring out. GosIin socked out two
hits in four appearances as his
starting effort.
"Well, you got off WELL" was
GOSlin'S talk after the game.
But the season isn't over yet"
Two of Manush's hits drove
across the pair of Griff runs for
the day.

Over 1000 attended the first
night game here Monday.
Page is scheduled to shoot his

PoSsessor of phenomenal speed,

NO-Hit No-Run Games
One of the leading drawing

NARKEY IN
NET TEST
BY GINO SINH

Gilbert Hunt, the young net
sensation of the season, unlucky
in the draw in two previous
tournaments, has reached the
quarter-finals of the Public Parks
tennis tournament at Rock Creek
but that appears to be as far as
he can go.
He runs smack into Bud
Markey and the 16-year-old Hunt
is not yet considered in the same
class with the former Notre Dame
ball-smacker. However an inter
eSting and hard-fought match is
expected, with the final score
likely to be not too lop-Sided.
Toss Up Match
The toss-up match of the day
which should produce sparkling
tennis from both players is the
Dick Mason-Barney Welsh tussle.
Both have much at stake in this
encounter.
Welsh has been having an eX-
ceptionally good year locally.
Mason, a veteran of Midwest
and New England tennis tourna-
ments exhibited his mettle by
putting out Frank Shore IN the
third round recently.

O'Neill-Welsh Favored

ONeill and Welsh assume the
favored position in the doubles
play, with the Bill Buchanan
Mitchell machine (who conquered
the top seeded team yesterday,
Shore and Tony Latona and
Mason and Hunt having a fine
chance to snitch the cake. Pat
Deck and Gene Hermann were
surprisingly easy for Hunt and
Mason yesterday.
The two Tabler sisters may
find johnson and Morris trouble
some in the women's doubles to-
day but should triumph due to
greater hitting power. Ryan and

Cripples Barred
There was a slight storm center
in the American delegation at
the village today over the matter
of crippled gymnasts. The Amer
lean committee ruled that no
cripple could represent the United
States. This barred from the
American team number OF
notable gymnastic performers,
who, despite withered legs, were
able to perform in mastery fash
ion on the parallel bars or in
rope climbing events.
Randall Dryden, crippled local
gymnast, won the rope climbing
tests in the final tryouts in world
record time but was left off the
team under the new ruling.

BOXING SWELL,
# It STREE
Local sports fans go for boxing

Local sports fans go for boxing
in a big way. if it's free.
This was indicated last night
when 10000 spectators, more or
less. attended the all-Star fiStic
benefit show of the Volunteers Of
America at the Clark Griffith
Stadium.
No admission was charged at
the gate but a hand collection
netted $1,507, not a generous con-
tributlon from so large a gather
ing which was provided thrilling
action by virtue of II bouts. The
attendance was the largest for any
boxing show ever held here.
Mickey Walker, world middle
weight champion, and Jackie
kid" Berg, welterweight, both
nationally known stars, failed to
appear and no explanation was
given for their absence. 1t had
been advertised they would grace
the program. Vince Dundee, also
ballyhooed to fight, did not put in
appearance.
Most of those taking part in
the matches we're drafted from
the amateur ranks.
The Washington times., 1932-07-27

This was evidenced following
a meeting of players before game
time yesterday and all hands
were smiling as the team marched
upon the field, even the usually
solemn Manager Walter johnson
who declared:
"We're going to really ac-
complish things on this jour-
ney. The boys are in high
spirits and anxious to win, a
more hopeful sign than when
we last invaded the West"
Split Even Last Trip
The Griffs played 16 games
against the western clubs on their
June visit to this section. They
won eight and lost as many. Only
one triumph was gained over the
Browns, now being engaged, while
three each were won from the
Chicago White Sox and Cleveland
Indians, and one from the Detroit
Tigers.
Manager Johnson's men believe
their toughest foe will be the
Brownies. And yesterdays game
in which the Browns eked out
by a 3 to decision supports
their contentious. However, Man
ager Johnson's men are not going
to let this loss upset them, aim
ing to return with more victories
than setbackS.
Matter of Inches
Then in the eighth. Heine Man
ush's fourth hit of the day, a
double, barely missed being a
homer by inches while in the
ninth Fred Schultz almost
dropped Dave Harris long fly in
the sun, Dave acting as a pinch
hitter for Ossie 8lAaSe.

All we say is that if there were,

NEW ELEMENT
IN THE SUN
Tokyo Scientist Makes Claim
In Eclipse Observation;
Planes Check EinStein

FRYEBURG, Me-, Sept. 1
N.N.S. S.).-Only about 5 per
cent Of the hopes Of the vari-
Gus astronomers present pro-
fessionally at the total eclipse
yesterday were realized, due
to the adverse weather condi-
tions over the greater length
Of the route Of the shadow Of
totality.
Yet several eclipse expeditions
obtained many valuable photo
graphs in this vicinity and at
other points along the path
where chance enabled them to
train instruments on the suns
corona, either through light cloud
wells or in skies free OF clouds.
Perhaps the most satisfactory
results were obtained by the
Small Japanese expeditions at
Alfred, Me. These scientists, in.
Guiding DR.. Okuroh Oikawa,
started out from Tokyo University
Observatory for Bartlett. N. II.
jars Set Up Camp
Discouraged when they did not
obtain the loan Of additional
instruments from the Portsmouth
Navy Yard, they proceeded by
truck toward their destination
until they came to a field near
Alfred. 1t looked like an ideal
spot for observations.
There they duly unloaded their
instruments and set up q camp.
Their haphazard choice Of sites
today was the envy OF all other
noted scientists, for they managed
to obtain q clear sky for most
Of the partial and all Of the total
eclipse.
AS a result they obtained photo
graphs Of the corona and spectre
grams which will be the envy of
British and American scientists,
perhaps for years.
New Element Seen
Among their spectrographic
plates is one with which DR..
OikawG expects to demonstrate
that there is an element in the
sun which does not exist in the
atomic table prepared by the
scientists on earth.
He would not discuss his dis
covery in detail today, but said
he would tentatively name the
new element "forty-one" for some
inexplicable reason.
There are 90 elements known
on earth. The rarest have been
discovered in the last few years.
If DR.. Ottawa has really found q
new element, he will have earned
more everlasting fame than all
the other eclipse observers since
the observer who discovered
helium in the sun before it was
known on earth.
