This will set an extraordinary
precedent for a town that clearly
wishes to welcome everybody on
the impartial basis of "Hooray!
Who is it?" But this time the
young men will find the town
strangely cold and distant and
they will be made to understand
that they have failed us lament
az. It seems, in fact, that all
they could do was try, which, If
I comprehend the situation fully,
is one of the greatest outrageS
ever perpetrated in the fair name
of American sportsmanship.
So naturally they'll get what is
inelegantly known as the back of
the neck from everybody, this
country being one to stand no
nonsense of this kind.
The arrival of Vines, Allison,
Van Ryn and Lott is expected to
bring out into the open for the
first time a story of dissension,
pickering and worse, with the
American team supposedly divided
against itself and one of it's mem
bers openly defying authority.
This, as much as overtraining or
overconfidence or both, is quoted
as being a factor in the American
defeat by the British, and, oddly
enough, neither Bernon Prentice,
the captain, nor Mercer BeaSley,
the coach, figures very actively in
the account.
Instead, hitherto unnamed
factor of apparent consequence is
introduced in the person of Law
renee A. Baker, secretary of the
United States Lawn Tennis AS
sociation. They say that Baker
and the players were frankly
antagonistic from the start and
that Prentice, who seems to have
sustained his share of recrimina-
ton since the British disaster,
was conspicuous largely in the
role of peacemaker. AS for
Beasley, he is said to have been
drafted only as an emergency
measure in an attempt to restore
balance and order.
That's one Of the impending
developments. Another is the in
evitable story that, taking into due
account the American taste for
optimism, we cannot longer go
wrong, now that the scene of the
final and challenge rounds has
been restored to the hallowed
realm of turf. On this surface,
the French, it seems, are just an
other team of tennis players and,
strangely, the English are not at
their best.
It is for this reason, it further
appears, that the Americans are
great at Wimbledon and down.
right comical in France. Here
they encounter for the first time
the en-tout-cas type of court,
which is something slightly softer
than feather bed and has to be
watered like garden.
the French ball, especially con-
structed for play on this surface,
is allegedly soft to the point of
being flabby and lifeless. So
what? The conditions are ideal
for the back-court strategy of
French and English and ruinous

Americans. Anyhow, it's an ap-
pealing tale.
Tennis Upheaval
AS for Mr.. Baker and his trou-
bles, it is said that these may
bring about an upheaval in tennis
circles, with a change in Davis
Cup management as one of the
results. The idea is fairly vague
at this time, but it seems that
some believe that the players are
reasonably capable of taking care
of themselves and that all that is
needed is a travelling representa-
tive or, as baseball would have it,
road secretary, whose duties are
many and privileges none.
In other words, no team cap
tain. Just a team. It sounds so
sensible I'm convinced that the
tennis association will have none
of it.

Bring home the bacon"

Bring home the bacon"
These words are still ringing in
the ears of the Union Printer
baseball players.
Manager Heinie Webb, pitching
manager of the Typos, addressed
his players last Saturday and his
splendid speech sounded some
thing like this:
"BOys, we'll be leaving for
Detroit Friday to defend our
title. 1 know we didn't go so
hot in the Departmental League
but we have a good team and 1
don't see why we shouldn't
bring home the bacon"
The Union Printers will pack
up their equipment Friday. Au-
gust 4 (this coming Friday, and
shuttle off to Detroit by motor,
rail, or what have you. They are
going to the city where automo-
biles are manufactured by thou
sands to protect their 1nterna-
tional Union Printers baseball
crown. This will be the twenty
fifth holding Of the tournament.
SimOns, Big Star
Manager webb will take along
IA players. Here they are: Freddy
Waple, strapping initial sack
guardian; Johnny Reid, keystone
keeper; Jimmy DeWhurst, out
fielder extraordinary; Chick Hol-
brook, another outfielder of high
caliber; Ben Schneider, still an
other capable fly hawk; Mac
Macpherson, catcher; Chief Rou-
dabush, fine moundsman: Tuck
Dalglish, fleet fielder; 81 Simons,
probably the most valuable man
on the team as he can play every
position besides being a dern
good hitter: Nip Drayer, curve
ball hurler; Eddie Edwards, a
corking good shortstop; Ray Ho-
man, hot-corner star. and Tom
Heany and Norman Hutchinson,
pitchers of high standing.
If the local bunch cop the
crown this month it will mark
the tenth time they won it since
1922.
Golf Tournament
A printers golf tournament will
also be conducted in Detroit at
the same date in conjunction
with the baseball tournament.

The Washington times., 1933-08-01

Thus, were Manager Joe Gro
nin'S words of remorse, review or
what-have-you, in a brief and i'm
promptu interview in the club
house after yesterdays game.
They were symbolic of the
fighting heart of the youthful
manager, whose main idea now is
to "get the Yanks at New York
and get 'em good and proper"
At that the Griffs' standing is
not so bad today. The team is
still in first place and that means
great deal even though the ad-
vantage is only one game.
"The season has still a long
ways to Co." figures CrOnin.
"And what's better than holding
the lead, no matter how slim it
is. 1t makes the cOntending
team press all the harder to
break down the wall. We
should know as we were in
second place a long time this
year-trying our best to get into
first place"
And so, with the Yankee series
over at this time until the reSump-
ton of play next week, that can
be called that, and this, this.
The Yanks lost little time In
scoring, as one run was showed
over in the first inning as a re-
suit of successive doubles by
Combs and Ruth.
The Griffs came right back and
got into the game a-plenty in
their end of the frame when
Cronin singled after Manush'S in
field force-out, Schultz sent a
long fly to Chapman, which
counted Manush, and Harris hit
a homer into the left field
bleachers, which easily pushed
Cronin across ahead of the clout.
Three runs, and were the gals
giddy?
Gals Turn Out
The gals, by the way, turned
out in excellent numbers, in fact
a little over the supposed $500
who had tickets for the fray. The
majority of them sat in the upper
grandstands, but there were still
several hundred downstairs, pay
customers, of course, Mr.. Griffith
of course,
Means, means and means as the
Yanks scored their first run in the
opening inning Tears, tears and
tears as seven "big uns" crossed
the plate in the fourth. But those
things will happen.
The heat "had" everybody
again. The gals, all of 'em, famed
at a mile-a- minute clip from the
very start while the players-well,
sir, they looked as if they could
have used pals of ice water each
minute. No doubt about it, the
sun was HOT!
What a play, what a play, WhaC
a play that was in the Yanks'
sixth when Ruth and Gehrig were
run down and put out on the base
lines. Ruth had doubled to open
the inning when Gehrig bounced
to McAfee. The latter threw to
Bluege in an effort to get Ruth,
who tossed to Cronin. Joe easily
touched "The Babe" near second.

WEAVER RTOOPEN
SERIES WITH
RED SOX

It's over, but the melody will
linger on for several days yet.
OF course we mean the Griff.
Yankee Crucial series" which
terminated with yesterdays 13
to 9 New York victory before
some $4,000 fans, mostly girls.
The Griffs finished with an
even break in the series, but are
not overlooking the fact that a
much better advantage could have
been theirs had not several ex-
pensive errors bobbed up into the
picture.
But the least said about that
the better. To get to current
things, the Griffs idle today to
make ready for an important
three-game series with the Boston
Red Sox beginning tomorrow.
Probably Manager Cronin and
his men will benefit greatly by
today's off-day as the respite will
give every man the chance 10
forget events of the recent past,
and in the meantime, get thor.
oughly "set" for what could be
called three very important con-
tests with the Red Sox.
It'll Be Monte
His pitchers just about taxed to
the limit because of all the work
they had to do in the Yankee
series, Manager Cronin announced
today that he expected to send his
rookie-veteran, Monte Weaver, to
the mound in the first game Of
the series against the Sox tomor-
row.
Monte has always been good
against the SOX," CrOnin said
today, "and it stands to reason
he should be just as good, if not
better, in this assignment, now
that he's apparently ready to
deliver once again."
And so Monte it'll be unless the
young pilot makes a last minute
change in plans-something he's
allowed to do if he wants to, be-
ing manager" and all that sort
of thing.
Now about that Griff- Yankee
nightmare yesterday. The Yanks
won the old ball game by driving
across seven large and juicy runs
in the fourth inning.
This rally took SO much out Of
the Griffmen that it was not until
late in the game that they found
themselves again. And then it
was too late.
Singles by Lazzeri, Dickey, Cro-
Setti and j. SeWell were delivered
in that seven-run Yank fourth.
These were added to by Chap
mans double. Ruth's triple (Which
came with the bases fulD and
Cronin's error on Combs grounder
to short.
Lefty Walter Stewart and Bob
Burke were the pitching victims.
The former might have gotten by
unscored upon had not Cronin
messed up Combs grounder while
he might have been helped over
the ropes had not Kuhel dropped
Lazzeri's pop foul earlier in the
frame.
McAfee HurlS
However, as it was, the Yanks
counted seven times AMI Bob
Burke became the pitcher before
the frame was over. He lasted
until Lazzeri and Dickey had
doubled in the fifth, then faded
in favor of Bill McAfee, who
pitched fair ball the remainder Of
the way.
Lefty Gomez was the Yank
hurler for the first eight innings.
The Griffs counted three times off
his shoots in the first, helped
largely by Dave Harris home run,
while they counted twice more
before he went to the showers in
favor of Wiley Moore in the ninth.
But before this Dave Harris hit
him again for a homer in the
eighth.
Moore gave up four runs in the
ninth, but righted himself before
too much damage could be done.

During all this confusion Gehrig
had pushed himself to second IN
an effort to get there before Ruth
was touched out, but found him
self an easy victim in another run
down, Cronin to Kuhel.
Three SubstitutiOnS
Manager Cronin made three
changes in the eighth, putting
Johnny Kerr on second in place
of Myer, Bob Boken at third in
place of Ossie Bluege, and Moe
Berg behind the bat for Luke
Sewell.
The Yanks couutered by shov-
ing two new men into the game

and Farrell at second for Tony
Lazzer1.

homer Of the game in the eighth.
