working themselves up into typical

Politics Getting Mixed.
There are some underlying signs that
the boys are getting their politics mixed
up with their consumers project.
Director Paul Douglas of that outfit
is supposed to have handed down reg
ulations whereby Democratic woman
is to be selected as head of each con-
Sumer committee in every district

partisanS are to be on the committees
but woman is to head them and .he
must be Democrat.
It may not be in the Official regula-
tions, but insiders avow that is the
way the system Is being organized.
The idea apparently is to get women
who are ardent supporters of the pro-
ject and can be trusted.

VIE FOR HONORS
At GLEN ECHO

While the national Junior out
door high board diving champion"
ship for women will hold the
center of the stage at the Crystal
Pool, Glen Echo, second annual
swimming meet, there will be
plenty of interest in the various
side features. The first event is
at $3.50 p. m.
The 60-yard free style race for
men is likely to provide plenty of
first class thrills with nationally
known mermen of New York and
Baltimore opposing the cream OF
local talent.
Anthony Kicas and Hoffman
Wilson are the Baltimore stand
ard bearers and George Schein-
berg will carry New York's banner
into the fray.
Rates At Top
All three men are rated at the top
of their sport in the United States,
and a great three-cornered battle
for honors is expected, with the
possibility that one of the Cap
itars own may be inspired to
outdo himself with such an incen-
tive and maybe bring considerable
prestige } their native town.
George ~"off is considered the
best of the Washington entries,
with George Bateson, the surprise
of the last Glen Echo meet, as o
potent dark horse.
Faces Hard Task
John Broaddus, who has firmly
established himself as the boss
diver of local aquatic circles, will
have to do some classy flip
Hopping to head the parade to-
night which will also include
Baltimoreans and New Workers.
A grand battle is anticipated in
the headliner, when Lois Bates,
Marie Duvall and Leonora Taube,
the District hopes, will strive to
outshine each other and Madeline
Karson and Margaret Abramltls,
both of New York, for the national
junior diving crown.

Gotta Have Hits

You know that one of the
very Oldest rudiments of base.

Al fact that it takes hits to win
ball games. Another bit of
the early established lore is
that it also takes runs. The
Griffs got little or none Of
either and consequently the st.
Louis Browns who got plenty
Of both, also got the game.
For eight innings, there
wasn't very much daylight be-
tween the teams, and it was still
anybody's game. The Brownies
had q one-hit, one-run margin
going into the ninth wherein
Whitehill, disgusted no doubt,
grew sensitive to the treat
ment his pals had accorded
him, and went somewhat to
pieces.
AS matters turned out, a far
worse pitcher relieved him and
promptly lost the game ire
,trievably. A six-hit, six-run
ninth inning on the part of the
MiSsourians couldn't be very
well undone under the prevailing
local batting conditions and so,
while they were about it, the
Browns gave us good shutting
out; one we won't soon forget.

Strategy Goes Awry

ing the best ball of the Western
teams at this stage of the season,
even though their standing in the

The only reason they haven't

East is because of the lack of
batting they have received in the

ised another series where they'll

is Tom Bridges, whom the Griffs
