HOLDS
STEELE IN
RESPECT

Jim Londos today was open in
admitting that when he meets
Ray Steele at the ball park to-
night the Washington public will
witness a grand worker striving
to lift the title so cherished by
Champion Jim.
He said:
''It's not often I rest up "a
hours for a match. But Steele'S
another proposition.
"Any man who's got enough
to hold me to the furious draws
Ray did and to carry me over
the distances he has deserves
my 100 per cent respect. I'm
not taking any chances with
Steele, he's much too good for
that"
Crown Prince Ray was all en-
thusiasm while awaiting the bout
he believes may result in his
lifting LondoS' crown.
"This is my big chance to
win a title" Steele declared to-
day, "and I'm going to make
the most of it. I'm convinced
I've got the stuff to whip
Jimmy. Anyhow, he's got to
prove himself a real champion
to take me now, I'm going bet
ter than / ever have"
In the 45-mlnute semifinaling
special Abe Coleman and Rudy
Dusek are rematched. Their 30
minute draw at the Washington
Auditorium this past winter was
one of the indoor seasons high
lights.
Gino Garibaldi bucks Pat
O'Shocker; Hans Steinke meets
Ivan Vakturoff, and Cliff Olsen
is matched with Floyd Marshall.

Small Subscription

Over at the Acacia Life In
Surance headquarters a commit
tee Of q has been named to
cooperate, and in several Of
the department stores, Govern
men bureaus, business houses,
and other organizations small
subscriptions are to be pooled
to throw into a general fund
with which to buy Bluege a
substantial token Of apprecia-
ton.
Our suggestion, frankly, is to
not attempt to raise a large
pot Of money for any ball
player these days and times
when ball players have so much
more of this worlds goods than
the average person. But it is
remarkable what a sizeable
amount can be accumulated
from numerous small donations
from a penny to a dollar.
We should absolutely place a
limit of 81 on any donation,
such as obtained when Muddy
Ruel was honored here.
We believe the economic situ-
alton of the hour requires such
q limit. The amount Of any
fans subscription will, there
fore, not be a gauge to his at
titude, whether he chips q dime

might have these words to say if
they were baseball players today
and on a team like the Washing
ton Griffmen which possesses sew
eral excellent chances Of getting
in the money a little later on
by winning the American League
pennant.
But as the "Gold Diggers" are
not Griffmen and the Griffmen
not gold diggers, the only thing
left is the idea that the Griff-
men probably carry around the
thoughts of their mythical movie
friends today as they have their
eyes peeled on the pennant which
can be theirs this September, not
to mention the "gold" that goes
along with winning that said gon-
falon.
To grab the flag the Griffs
face long and arduous sched-
ule during the next three
months. Victories Of every de-
sription must be won and what's
more a certain pace must be set,
particularly when the Yanks are
still within dangerous striking dis
tance and able to break out any
time and open up with a winning
avalanche again.
AS said many times before,
however, Manager Cronin's collec-
ton Of high-geared performers ap-
pear to be strong enough for the
big, drive ahead and especially
since they've demonstrated to
most everybody that they can
"give it, as we'll as "take it" when
the going becomes unusually
tough.
Plug Away, Is Idea
The team, as a whole, still has
a certain idea about the daily
situation that promises to be de-
cided help as each opponent is
met. It is the fact that it is every

ball field each afternoon and play

Mid One Of Best

It occurs to us it is alto
gether fitting that Bluege be re-
membered this year as have
been Rice, Judge, Ruel and
Johnson in their day. Down
through the years Bluege has
been a credit to baseball and he
is in the midst of one of his very
best seasons right now.
Numerous details attach
themselves to staging such an
honor as has been accorded
baseball's outstanding individu-
ais. Consent of the visiting
team must be secured and
myriad other arrangements ne
gotiated.
Committees will soon wait on
the officials of the local ball
park and will be met with well
come arms. A baseball man to
the roots of his silver locks,
Clark Griffith likes to see base
ball men get their proper hon
ors. He thinks baseball is as
great as the men who make it.
He will make the necessary
arrangements within baseball
and the fans and newspapers
will co-operate on the outside
and in the end a great baseball
genius will receive the ovations
and plaudits Of an adoring city.

Pick Ups and
Put Outs

Babe Ruth claims the Griff-
men are playing over their
heads. well, Joe Cronin's out
fit has cOpped Z of 10 games
from the proud Yanks this sea-
son, a feat not to be laughed
off. anyway, Ruth spoke SIM
ilarIy nine years ago when the
Griffmen grabbed the flag.
Bob COnnOr, who dominated the
field and track meet at Eastern
High Stadium, was national Sc
nior amateur bicycle champion
in 1928. John J. Calvin, Of
the N0tre Dame Glee Club, and
Tom O'Brien believe the Griffs
are "home" according to a
message they teIegraphed Car
ter Barron, who directs LOew's
movie houses here.
The Washington times., 1933-07-06

Then comes the storm followed
by a contrasting calm. The wind
and rain cease, so does the
thunder, while the lightning fades
away as the distance takes the
entire storm from the current
section.
The activities Of the Griffs dur
ing the past month can be likened
\ to a storm, although in this case,
o pleasant storm because Of the
Joyous after-effects and all that
sort Of thing.
First, Manager Joe Cronin's
team began rumbling on its way
to a skyrocket top by defeating
the Philadelphia AS at Griffith
Stadium on the days of June II
and 13, respectively. The per-
formers then gained a reckless
momentum as each Western city
was visited thereafter while the
height Of their "anger" was
reached in the games at New York
on July 4, when two most i'm
portant victories were registered
over the powerful Yankees.
P'St! A Calm Spell
Now, quite like the situation
revolving about a storm, there is
o certain calm. There is no more
baseball on schedule for several
days, which fact gives everyone
ample time to recover from the
effects Of the damage the Griffs
left behind, although in this case,
st is hoped that the opposition
will not be able to recover fully
from the shocks the Griffs hand
ed out by their victorious march
during the past three weeks.
In regard to the Griffs, this
current rest period IS one which
will enable them to become ready
70 rise up in another "Storm"
which they hope will, this time,
get them so far in the lead that
no team, not even the YankS,
who must still be considered a
dangerous contender, will be able
to catch them.
Such a thing can happen
during the next three weeks, par
ticularly if the bats of Heine
INGanuSh, Goose Goslin, Manager
y Ne Cronin, Fred Schultz, Joe
hhel and the rest speak loudly
7 SAin in the daily games. Right
LOW all Of the performers men,
1oned are "well up" among the
800 hitters in the league and
they promise to continue in this
elite class regardless Of what
pitching they'll be forced to face
as each team makes its presence
between now and the end Of the
month.
Four different opponents will
visit Griff Stadium during the
current home stand beginning
saturday. First to appear will
be the Cleveland Indians, led by
Walter Johnson, former star
pitcher and manager Of the Griff-
men. The Indians will be in
town for four games, including
two Saturday, while following
hsir appearance will be . Ger.
The Washington times., 1933-07-06

them, and what sort of batting op'
position they'll be facing.
"ThiS is one of the items that
has helped the boys score many
q victory this season." Manager
CrOnin happened to muse in
New York the other evening
just after his team had "taken"
the Yanks twice in a double
header.
"And," he continued, "I think
it's going to be a decided aid in
the winning Of many more con-
tests before we all put away our
uniforms, gloves and shoes for
the season."
Even with this grand attitude,
it's going to be interesting to
watch the developments Of the
race between now and the time
the Eastern teams journey West
again. The Yanks, as well as the
Griffs, are scheduled in a long
home stand for the next three
weeks, y'know, and it's going to
be plenty interesting to see
whether the Yanks, for one, have
fully folded up, or whether
they'll make another of their IA
nous comebacks now that they're
on their home soil again and able
to win more consistently than on
the road.
"Let 'em win," the Griffs
contend, "fOr we can win, too,
on our home grounds and mean
to do it as each of the Western
invaders show up at Griffith
Stadium during the next three
weeks"
You can't down an attitude like
this. now can you?

HAGEN REMAINS
At TOP WITH
z ROUND

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, July
6.-Walter Hagen was holding his
lead in the British Open golf
championship, scoring a sub-par
72 today for an aggregate 140.
Hard on his heels was Ed Dud.
ley, Of Concordville, Pa, who add.
ed a brilliant II to his 10 Of yes
terday for a total Of al. It was
the Haig's magnificent 68 in the
first round which enabled the
veteran American pro to remain
at the head. Abe Mitchell, British
veteran, carved out 68 today to
equal Hagen's feat and give him
144.
Hagen's tee shot at the four.
teenth would have been out Of
bounds but struck a group Of
spectators and bounded back
within range. He dubbed the
second shot badly, however, and
reached the green in three.
Pars Last Three Holes
At the fifteenth, Sir Walter
cut his drive into the rough, but
the lie was good, only to dub his
recovery, the ball travelling 80
yards. 1t meant another five and
it began to look bad. The six.
teenth was negotiated in 4 and
at the road hole, Hagen sank a
long putt for 4 and also pared
the eighteenth. His card:

There was more for Hagen
than the satisfaction of leading
the field, leaving Gene Sarazen,
the present tit1eholder, clustered
with two other Americans, Leo
Diegel and Joe Kirkwood, in
third place with 145. Keen
rivalry still exists between Hagen
and Sarazen, and there is no
doubt it ticKled him to see Gene
go out in 33, three under par,
and then explode with ire
mendous detonation, taking 40
on the home nine for a total Of
73, even par.

Horton Smith kept pace with

opened at So. off q on a block of
10000 shares. Other issues appeared
in smaller amounts, with Phillips
Petroleum opening on a block of
5000 shares, and Trans America
1000 shares.
Price movements were irregular in
early trading. Wet issues continued
TO meet support. Steel common
eased from its opening, while Chrys-
Ter jumped point from its first
sale to net gain of more than a
point. Oils were easier and rails
met selling.
Volume increased as the session
progressed and tickers fell behind.
Trading in the first hour was at the
rate Of 100000 shares for a full
day, reminiscent of the giant day
back in 1929 when the market
crashed far worse than in the pre-
vious session.
There was nothing in the news
to account for the steadier stock
market just as there was nothing
tangible to account for the recent
break. One outstandingly favor
able factor was resumption of the
decline in the American dollar. The
pound sterling was at S4.717s for
cable transfers up 67s cents from
Thursday nights close. This eased
somewhat the fears in the financial
community that the dollar soon
would be stabilized.
