MAKING IT SIMPLER

The irony of it all is that in pictures the bad-man actor does not necessarily have to be pro ficient at anything except acting. For craftsmanship they can hire old Farther Jones or some other crack shot; to throw a knife, there's Steven Slemento, and on the rare occasions when fencing is required in films little train ing in the studio gymnasium equips the actor to simulate the real thing.
 And Harolde, a typed bad man of the films, used to play heroes and romantics on the stage, until he came to Los Angeles as the tough managing editor in "The Front Page"

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 10- The screens bad men are notor- iously lax in carrying their dew iltry into private life.
 Wallace Beery, often a heavy vil- lain, is a good-natured, amiable fellow who likes to play with his adopted baby daughter, Carol Ann, and James Cagney, who in some pictures has shot it out desper- ately with rival gangsters. is a me-loving lad who not long ago took up piano lessons and who likes good music.

Plum Point Saturday, and Warbis,
Gordon, Moran and Congers re-
turned there with George Hard
away Wednesday morning and
picked up so more.
Point No Point Great
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Peoples and
Mr.. and Mrs. Larry Homan, V.
M. Nichols, and Ellsworth and
Godfrey Homan struck a great
spot off Point No Point and land
ed 300 pounds of hardheads, the
largest tipping the beam at
three and onehalf pounds, Sun
day, fishing all day. Larry says
they bit best on peelers and the
fishing was better in the after
noon. They fished both deep
and shallow water and caught
the largest number in a depth
of 25 feet. It was the best catch
Larry has seen in three years.
Abe Shapiro led his Georgia
Avenue "Kingfishers" to Point
Lookout Sunday, and they had a
splendid catch, with Is trout as a
highlight. The catch included
besides the trout, Is hardheads,
40 black bass and Is large spots,
Leo and Tom Grasso, Charlie Alb
bate, Dave Tavan, Lefty" John
son, and Guy Briner accompanied
Abe.
Kenwood Beach o. K.
Dutch" Thiel, Betty Johnson,
Pop" Scott, Ralph Hood and
"Old George" snatched 152 hard
heads, averaging two pounds,
seven miles out of Kenwood
Beach Sunday night. Dutch
landed the most.
George Smith, Charley Strick-
land, Bob Burns, Pete Dansbury
and Pierce Britt had an excellent
haul in the Wicomico, bringing in
over 400 hardheads and around a
hundred blues. Britt landed 20
pound turtle.

They are tired of yanking in
hardheads, which, at best, offer
only mediocre resistance to their
captors.
Of course, quite a few trout,
rockfish and blues have been
picked up, but nowhere near COM
parable to the numbers when they
are really biting. Those which
have been enticed out of the water
have been brought in mostly by
trolling (the most difficult type
of the angling sport) in the lower
bay and the mouth of the Po-
tomac.
A few trout and blues have been
landed still fishing, the method
employed in 80 per cent of fish
ing trips, but not enough to brag
about. The trout are slightly
overdue, usually making their ap-
pearance in goodly numbers
around the middle of July. The
blues would be about on schedule
if they snap to attention within
the next ten Gays.
Invasion Shortly
Seasoned bay fishermen opine
that shortly the grand invasion
will take place and then the fun
begins. There is no other sport,
says the veteran fisherman, like
blue leaping out of the water
trying to spit out the hook it
inadvertedly swallowed, or a trout
striving to break the line by
Streaking under the anglers boat.
Schools of blues have been
seen breaking at various points
on the bay, and anglers who
essayed into the midst of them
landed a few. Paul BarstoW,
who is spending his vacation
near Seaside, witnessed school
whitening the waters off the
Harland Bar. He expects plenty
of trout on the full moon. Ed
win Maschmyer reports that
blues have been schooling off
Plum Point for the past three
days.
Make Up for Failures
Cluit Tucker, jr., who has
had more than his share of
fruitless trips this year, made
up for past failures when he,
his father and George Jones
landed $50 hardheads in less
than two hours at the Gooses
Saturday night late.
Clint's trip was marred by a
disobliging Kenwood Beach cap
tain, who, ostensibly hired for
four hours fishing, insisted on
coming in before the time was
up.
"And he charged us full
time, too" Clint states. "The
worst part of it was, that we
had been promised the boat
exclusively and when we got
their we found seven others
were on the boat. What's more
we had to wait nearly an
hour for the boat"
Elmer King and J. w. Hunter
slipped over to Bloody Point Tues
day and bagged 19 big hardheads.

gers and Vic Gauzza, jr.. boated

representatives of 20 civic and
business organizations, not to
mention the various committees,
have put their shoulders to the
wheel, with the result that at
this writing interest all over the
nation is keener than ever be-
fore in the history of the Pres
ident's Cup.
L. Gordon Leech, chairman of
the race committee for the Pres
ident's Cup, announces that 16
of the 18 Gold Cup boats of the
country have already entered,
while he expects at least one of
the remaining two possible en-
tries some time in August.
Two new features will mark
the 1888 Presidents Cup Re
gatta. The first is Night
Pageant, with feminine beauty
playing an important role. The
second is composed of rowing
and canoe racing events, for
which an extra day-September
28-has been added. Prior to
this year the Presidents Cup
ran over a period Of two days
only.
Canoe Stars Coming
]. w. Burch, chairman Of the
aquatic sports committee, which
has charge of the rowing and
canoe events of September %,
announces that he expects a
large entry list for the canoe
events, said to be the most SEN
sational and interesting of all
water races, and that rowing
events will include singles and
doubles, as we'll as eight -oared
crews.
The cream of canoe racing stars
are sure to be found on hand for
the canoe events. They accept
the Presidents Cup as a great
regatta and have promised to be
here, even if it means prolonging
their training season.

ber of Commerce literature, now
being sent to all parts of the coun-
try, places special stress on the
pageant, which has taken front
rank in appeal to prospective early
fall visitors. 1t is expected that
about 500 Washington boat owners
will participate in the night pag-
cant.
Everybody Helps
Curtis Hodges. chairman Of the
visitors committee of the Presi-
dents Cup, announces that rail
road, steamship, air and bus lines
all have agreed to publicize the
regatta along their respective
routes and will offer special round
trip rates to people desirous of
witnessing the events of the re-
gatta.

A New Course
John A. Remon, chairman Of
the general committee, directing
all activities in connection with
the regatta, once again requests
all Washingtonians writing letters
to friends and business associates
and acquaintances surely to men
ton the Presidents Cup Regatta
in every communication.
Women competitors will play an
important part in this years re-
gatta. Four of the worlds five
best-known feminine race drivers
will probably compete. They are
Mrs. Delphine Dodge Baker, who
goes in for Gold Cup boats in no
mean manner; Mrs. Florence
Burnham, of Wilmington, Del,
who holds the world record for
the 125-cubic inch hydroplane
class; Maryland Codd, ToWson,
Md, an up-and-coming star, Ind,
Alice Hallowell, of East Islip and
Bayshore, L. I. The only star
woman race driver who will be
missing from the regatta is Lor-
retta Trumbull, of California, who
is in Europe, and who will prob
ably not return in time for the
Presidents Cup.
The Presidents Cup Regatta
race course-a sort of tWo-in-one
affair, or course within a course
will be unique among regatta
courses, if present plans of the
racing committee carry.
It's Good News.
The plan is to lay out a course
of a mile and tWothirds inside
the oval made by the two-and-
a-half mile outside course for
Gold Cup boats.
This is good news to spectators,
who are assured of a superior
view of all races if the plan for
the course within course ma
terializes.
Major j. D. Arthur, District en-
gineer, United States Corps of
Engineers, is now studying con-
ditions, with the thought in mind
of giving this years regatta the
best planned race course in Amer
lea, or in the world, for that
matter.
According to a ruling of the
American Power Boat Association,
the race course for outboard mo-
tor boats must be either 2-3
miles or / IA miles, thus making

CHAPMAN GE rs
FIRST START
TOMORROW

Ed Chapman, the new pitcher,
really will be seen as a Griff
starting pitcher tomorrow when
the Griffs resume their series
with the Boston Red Sex.
In, fact, Manager Cronin is
anxious to get as early a line on
his new recruit as he can, so
therefore will not make any
changes in plans by the time the
hour for game-time rolls around.
Chapman will have had plenty
of rest since lis last turn on the
mound by tomorrow. The big
hurler's most recent appearance
on the pitching peak was against
the Baltimore Orioles on Monday
when that day he pitched great
ball while his Rochester team de-
feated Baltimore, 8 to 2. Since
that assignment he has not
pitched a ball other than a few
tosses while limbering up in his
new Griff uniform.
Chapman's showing will be
watched with keen interest, as
fans will be anxious to decide for
themselves whether he'll make the
grade as a Griff starting tWirler
or not.
Will be Valuable.
From the clubs standpoint, If
he makes good. he'll come in quite
handy to Manager Cronin as the
young pilot will be able to use
him very often in the future in
the Griffs' stretch drive for the
pennant.
Manager Cronin's gang gained
another notch on the New York
Yankees for first place yesterday,
while speaking of drive for the
pennant, by trouncing the Boston
Red Sox, 8 to 4, for the second
time in succession while the New
York Yankees were being shut out
by Lefty Grove and the Philadel-
phia AS, to 0.
The Griffs now hold a full
three-game advantage over the
Yanks for the top rung, which
means a great deal at this stage
of the race because of it's lateness
Ability to sock five Red Sox
pitchers in the pinches for IA hits
gave the Griffs their win. Johnny
Welch began on the mound for
Manager Marty McManus, but was
quickly relieved by Lefty Lloyd
Brown, Paul Andrews, Henry
johnson and Carl Weiland. Brown
was charged with the loss.
Earl Gets Credit
Earl Whitehill twirled the first
six innings for the Griffs. He
started the seventh. but was sent
to the showers shortly after in ia
vor of Jack Russell because the
heat looked as if it was bothering
him greatly. Russell finished out
the string, and although he didn't
turn in his best work of his ca
reer, managed to have enough to
keep the Sox from scoring too
many runs to become dangerous
before the final out in the ninth.
Whitehill got credit for the tri-
umph and it added Number 13 to
his record for the season.
The Griffs scored in the third,
fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth
to win while the Red Sox engi-
neered rallies in the sixth, sew
enth and eighth to score their
onlv markers of the contest.

WILLS IS Ill;
OUT Of NET
CUP SERIES
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Ameri.
cas- chances in the Wightman
Cup matches against the British
received a severe setback today
when Mrs. Helen Wills Moody.
captain of the United States
forces, was forced to withdraw
because of illness, it was an
nounced at noon today by Julian
S. Myrick. chairman of the
Wightman Cup committee.
Mrs. Moody was scheduled to
play Peggy Scriven, British star,
in one of the opening singles
matches on the West Side Tennis
Club courts this afternoon, but
was advised to withdraw by DR..
Benjamin P. Farrell after an eX.
animation this morning.
Hopes to Play
Mrs. Moody. greatly diSappoint-
ed at the orders. expressed the
hope she will be able to play
tomorrow.
Sarah Palfrey, of Brookline,
Mass. was named as substitute
for Mrs. Moody to play against
Miss Scriven.
Todays schedule, starting at 3
o'clock. calls for the following;
Singles-Helen Jacobs, America,
VS.. Dorothy Round, England.
Sarah Palfrey, America, VS.. Peggy
Scriven, England.
Doubles Jacobs and Sarah
Palfrey, America, VS.. Miss Round
and Mary Healey, England.
Three sin giles and another
doubles match will wind up the
event tomorrow, with Mrs. Moody
Gf able to play and Alice Marble,
new to international play, douo-
ling up in both.
The payoff. in other words, will
be made on the basis Of four VIC
tories in the seven matches, and
Young Miss Marble will carry
burden of responsibility second
only to that of her felloW-resl-
dents of the bay district OF San
Francisco, the famous two Helens.
However, one of the Helens is
still great, the other is still good
and, between them, three of the
necessary four points seem as
sured in the singles alone.
Moreover, Miss Palfrey is just
coming on to declare herself IL
with the top hands of ladies' ten
mis- and, as for Miss Marble, she'll
either be the best of them all in
two years or I've been looking un-
der the wrong eye shade. She IS
by way of being in the key posi-
ton right now, because if she loses
her singles match tomorrow
England may be very much in the
fight: whereas, if she wins, they
might as we'll close the gates and
start another ball game.
Both Teams Strong
Nevertheless, if this is the
strongest side America has yet
presented in the Wightman Cup
series, it also seems to be Eng
lands. Miss Round was good
enough to take the only set won
from Mrs. Moody at Wimbledon
since 1927.
Miss Nuthall is playing as we'll
now as she did several years ago,
at which time she won the ma
tional singles and threatened
briefly to challenge the dominion
of Mrs. Moody herself.
Add to this the fact that the
British are pretty resolute in the
doubles and you have the max
ings of a fight in keeping with
the tradition of this series, which
from the start has been record
of polite. well-bred violence. In
10 meetings so far, America has
won six and England four, the
former getting the break no
earlier than the last time when
they won by single match at
Wimbledon.

STRONG TEAM
SUNDAY

Alexandria takes her baseball

Alexandria takes her baseball
seriously.
The baseball fans of the Vir-
ginia town are all agog over the
approaching gigantic, colossal,
stupendous game between their
favorite team the st. Mary's Gel
tics and the Ballston A. C. which
will be played at Baggett's Field
Sunday at o'clock.
This game is really and truly
big attraction as both the Gel
tics and their opponents are mines
of exceptionally high caliber. The
Celtics have lost but one game
thus far this season and that was
to the Ballston A. C. On the
other hand the Athletic Club has
captured % games out of 26.
Hull to Pitch Again
Calvin Hull was the mounds
man who defeated the Celtics.
Manager Claude Rosenberger, of
the Ballston aggregation. will
again send Hull against the Irish
clan, while in all probability doc"
Dreifus will oppose him.
Gichner's Iron Works were back
in the running for the second half
title in the strong Industrial
League as a result of their we'll
cared 1O-to-4 victory over the Blue
Ribbons yesterday on the spacious
South Ellipse. A goodly crowd
witnessed the interesting proceed
ings.
Lefty" (Reggie) Brown pitched
fine ball for the winners despite
the fact he was nicked for IS
blows. He was at his best in the
pinches, as the IS strikeouts he
compiled against the opposition
indicate.
The Gichners made only nine
bingles off the southpaW shoots of
Frank Carter who hurled only
seven frames. Johnny DeBetten-
court finished the game for the
Ribbon tossers and did not allow
a hit.
The game was played under ex-
ceptionally hot conditions. When
Shelton, star second sacker of the
Cigar team, objected to third
strike, Jump" Bottle Cox elected
him from the game.
Gets Four Hits
Ev Russell, former Tech High
athlete and now attending the

four hits for the losers while
Henry Gichner batted out three
hits for the winners.

KENWOOD PRO
HAS GREAT
CHANCE

accompanied by wee BOooy
Cruickshank, Country Club of
Virginia pro, AL Houghton, pride
of Washington professionals, today
leaves for Milwaukee, where he
will compete in the annual Pro-
fessional Golfers Association ma
tional championhip tournament.
AIS friends, of whom there are
many, insist that he will return
home nine days hence with the
P. G. A. title.
And, AIS friends have every
reason to feel confident; he has
been playing superb golf of late,
has been hitting his shots crisply
and on the line, has been putting
with the touch of an old master.
They Know AL
If AL can hold his present form
through the testing tournament,
which starts Tuesday, he should
prove the dark horse of the P. G..
A. event.
Up Milwaukee way they have
heard of Houghton and his recent
play. A story in a Milwaukee
newspaper points out that Al
must be reckoned with the top
notchers, due to his remarkably
successful play of late. The story
points out that any golfer who
can weather the storm Of four
tournament rounds to score 275, or
13 under fours, is worthy of no.
tice, even in a P. G. A. champion
ship meet.
Cruickshank, who 10 years ago
was rated as the most dangerous
golfer in match play Journeys,
seems to be back on his game,
after a long stretch of lean years.
The little chap with the Scotch
name and the Scotch accent has
put in many hours of hard work
on the practice course at the
Country Club of Virginia and,
what is more important, feels
that this time he is 'hot" for
the P. G. A.
Peacock Scores II
Roger Peacock, District and
Maryland State amateur champ,
shot a. II yesterday afternoon
over the Columbia C. c. course,
the layout over which the Sec
tional qualifying rounds of the
National Amateur will be played
next Tuesday.
Others who toured Columbia
yesterday were Harry Pitt, OF
Manor, young Billy Detweiler'
Martin F. Mccarthy, Miller B.
Stevinson and Luther Steward, jr.
Mccarthy scored a 72, while
STEVENSON had a "a and Det-
weller a 78. Pitt spoiled an other
wise fine round by taking a Z on
the third hole.
With only three holes to play,
Mccarthy had par 3-4-4 for 50.
However, he took a S on the short
sixteenth, a par on the seven
teenth and a S on the eighteenth.
Columbia's course will be open
Saturday and Sunday to out-of-
town golfers who plan to compete
in the sectional qualifying rounds
of the national amateur.
