Mikes Average High

OF course, by this methodical
procedure, Mike turns out an
average number Of stars. He
can't miss, and it is a matter of
no little amusement in and
around the clubhouse that the
minute a player starts to go
places and do things, Uncle
Mike Martin will take the credit
without even the semblance of a
blush.
For instance, wasn't it Uncle
Mike who made" Joe Cronin
the year he was named most
valuable player. If you don't
think it was Mike, then you
weren't within earshot of Mike
at any time during the ensuing
winter.
But even beyond that, back in
1922 when Goose Goslin COM
menced to show signs of being a
heavy hitter, who was it that
showed Goslin how to stand at
the bat, how to hit the ball and
how to Scamper around the out
field?

FONSECA To USE
SULLIVAN At
FIRST BASE

While Manager Lew Fonseca
is giving his injured leg an addi-
tional rest Billy Sullivan, of the
1888 Notre Dame law class, will
attend to the duties at first base
for the White Sox in the double
header with Cleveland.
Fonseca'S injury had kept him
in idleness for a month. His
participation in the first half of
a double-neader at New York
Sunday resulted in sharp pains
which brought the decision to
delegate the first baseman job to
Sullivan, who reported Saturday.
Lefty Grove, AS iron man"
pitcher, may be called upon twice
for relief only against Boston
today.
Grove o. X.
Because of his binding speed,
Grove is especially valuable dur
ing the late innings when. the
shadows begin to lengthen. The
long, lean iron man" has been
doing mop-up duty for the past
two weeks, with astounding sue
cess. He finished six of the
teams last eight games, winning
three and saving the other three.
He took a rest in the other two
games, with the result that the
AS lost.
Clubs that have been on the
road for the past two weeks were
glad to get back to their own
stamping grounds today, for all
of them played under 500 ball in
the intersectional games just con-
cluded. In the American League
Cleveland dropped nine out of 13
and flopped from first place to
fourth. The Athletics made the
best record, winning nine out of
II at home and jumping from
sixth place to third.
The Yankees were next best in
the junior circuit, winning eight
and losing three during their
home stand.
Cards, Cubs Show Way
In the National League, the
Cardinals and Cubs showed the
way, each winning nine out of 13
at home and advancing two
notches in the standing. Pitts
burgh won seven and lost four.
The Giants, winning five and los
ing six on the road, dropped from
first place to third.
The home clubs enjoyed an al
most identical advantage in each
league. In the National, the West
ern clubs chalked up 81 victories
over the invading EasternS as
against 19 defeats. In the Amer
ican, the Eastern teams won 20
at home and lost IT.
Yesterday was the first idle day
of the season, no games being
scheduled.

STEPS
To TAKE TILT

AUTEUIL, France, May 80.
Completing a match halted by
rain yesterday after four sets
had been played, Frank Shields,
of New York, today defeated Bella
Won Kehrling, Hungarian Davis
Cup player, in the singles of the
French hard court tennis cham
pionShips.
The score was 2-6, 5-7, 6-4,
GO, IS. Only nine games Of
the final set were played today.
Shields was leading 3 to 0 in the
fifth set when rain halted play
yesterday.
Baron Won Kehrling managed
to cut down Shields advantage
today and draw up on even terms
at five games apiece, but the
former U. S. Davis Cup star had
enough in reserve to capture the
final two games.
Collette RoSambert, of France,
defeated Cilly Aussem of Germany
6I3, Is, Ga in their third

Fred Perry and Gerald Hughes,
of England, won the doubles title

Must Follow Rules

Why, none other than our
good friend Mike Martin who
can take the rawest piece of
baseball flesh and mould him
into a phenom, provided he will
follow Old Doctor Martins
famous golden rules.
Now, any time one of DR.. Mar
tins proteges fails to not only
make the grade but also fails to
flash across the baseball firma-
ment in a blazing trail of glory,
it is because the young man
failed to heed Prof. Martins ad-
vice.

whether they've been following
my invaluable instructions or
whether they go off to them
selves and SOliloQuize:
Why, that old geezer doesn't

'I can tell when they're out
there ON the field if they are
trying to play their way or my

whether they're just trustin' to

win both of his singles matches,
it is certain that at least one Of
the other three matches will be
decided in the challenger's favor.
Allison is playing a far steadier
and powerful game this year
than last, and he also responds
to the patriotic psychology Of the
situation.
England, with Fred Perry and
Bunny" Austin playing snappy
brand of tennis, may find Italy,
it's semi-final foe, and either Ger
many or Australia, the lower
bracket finalists, stubborn op-
ponents. Nevertheless, the Brit
ishers are favored to meet the
Americans in the interzone finals.
England's lack of a first rate dou-
bles combination will make the
Americans task easier. Neither
Austin nor Perry are considered
capable of beating Vines and
Allison at his best is more than
a match for either one.
The loss of DR.. Daniel Prem
leaves only Won Cramm to seri-
ously threaten the Australians
march toward the European
finals as far as the Hitlerized Ger
man team is concerned and Won
Cramm does not figure to stop
Jack Crawford, even though he
should beat the unorthodox back
hand racquet manipulating OF
Vivian McGrath.
If Baron Humbert L. De Nor
purge decides to join the Italian
team on June 13 against England,
the English will have plenty of
trouble on their hands. The
ambidextrous Georgia De Stefani,
Mussolini's other big star, is a
much improved player, and can
make things interesting for any
opponent in the world when he is
on his game. He gave Allison a
terrific battle two years. 1taly'S
lack of a tested doubles team,
however, is expected to aid the
Britishers' cause.

They Needed DR.. Martin

And so we find that both
Boken and Travis are tapping
the golden vein Of success be-
cause they have listened intently
to the sage advice of Prof. Mike
Martin, Esq, Bachelor of Base
ball.
Mike veritably made" every
star the team ever had. OF
course, Walter Johnson was
pretty well along in his making
before Mike took hold of him,
but certainly Mike was respon-
Sible for stretching Walters ca
reer across the tWo-decade
mark. How he used TO rub
those old legs of Barney's so
the Big Train could stand up
through nine long innings, week
in and week out-spring, sum-
mer. fall!

Bucky Harris. Then he made"
Buddy Myer. He made" Os-
sic Bluege and Sam West and
q lot Of others who have come

LOUDOUN HORSE
SHOW DRAWS
FROM ARMY
BY HARRY COSTELLO

ESBURG, Va, May 80.
There's an old saying down this
way that when the Loudoun Hunt
does it, it is done right. There
are any number of proofs Of the
fact.
Consequently the annual horse
show of the Loudoun Hunt, to
be held at Greenway, estate Of
E. A. Miller, here Saturday, looms
as one Of the best on the Vir-
ginia circuit.
Twenty entries from the Third
Cavalry, U. S. A., now stationed
at Fort Myer, have Swelled the
total entries to beyond 800, a fact
which insureS that this years
annual event will surpass the
record number of entries for the
show during these past 10 years.
Feature Morning Show
Half -bredS and ponies feature
the morning session of the show.
The opener is a class for half
bred mares and foals. First prize
in this event is service to the
Government thoroughbred stall
lion, Sun Broom, donated by G.
w. Hume, of this city. Sun
Broom is a bay son Of the great
Sun Briar, out of Bromelia, by
Whisk Broom, by Broomstick.
Half-bred yearlingS, half-bred
2-year-olds, 3-year-old half-breds,
saddle ponies (two classes) and
jumping ponies follow in the or
der named.
Typical of all Virginia horse
shows, Saturdays lends special at
tention to hunters.
Special Glasses
There are classes for hunter
hacks, special classes for horses
that have never won a ribbon in
a jumping class in any show,
classes for green hunters, 3-year-
old hunters, horses or ponies
hunted during the 1928 season
with any recognized hunt, light
weight hunters, middleweight and
heavyweight hunters, hunt teams,
Corinthian and championship.
Two of Virginia's noted jump
ers-MisS Julia B. Writings gray
mare, Quicksilver, and Stanley
Greene'S great little mare, Queen
of Sheba-will contest in various
classes.
The Grey Knight, one of Mrs.
John Hay Whitney's greatest rib
bon winners, fresh from Devon,
will top Mrs. Whitney's list of
entries. Bon Diable, Hopeful Jim,
Two LegginS and others from
Llangollen will participate.
D. C. Horses Entered
It is interesting to note that
the list of entries from Washing
ton this year includes a number
of the Capital City's most inter-
esting thoroughbreds.
The committee in charge Of the
event includes Col. w. H. Lips

expected to be whole lot tougher
than any team on this side of the
Big Pond, the American boys are
seen as the ultimate victorS.
So, as Uncle Sans determined
young net wizards and their fol-
lowers glance across the sea, it is
France, the Davis Cup defender,
which holds their attention.
Fear Borotra Most
The man they fear most is Jean
Borotra, though Henri Cochet, is
Frances No. l racquet Weilder.
Borotra, who admittedly is
through as a tournament player,
is still the most dangerous Inter
national match player in the
world.
Fighting for his beloved France,
he is rated almost invincible on
his first appearance. Veteran
tennis followers are certain that
Cochet will take over one of the
singles assignments for France,
despite strenuous denials. He too
responds to the patriotic" urge,
though not to the extent of the
Bounding Basque, and should he
draw the No. 2 American, prob
ably Wilmer Allison, on the first
day, he would be almost certain
to give France one victory.
Should France win the opening
two singles matches, it lkely, will
not make strong bid for the
doubles, using its second string
pair, Jacques Brugnon and
Christian BousSus. This will give
Cochet and Borotra a days rest
for the final singles matches.
Old Stamina Gone
An American triumph in one
of the singles on the first day,
will force France to use Borotra
in the doubles with Brugnon, the
Gallo No. l pair, and thus great
ly weaken it's chances. Borotra
no longer possesses enough
stamina to play three days Of
gruelling tennis.
On Ellsworth Vines, who last
year definitely established him
self as premier amateur netman of
the world, lies Uncle Sans chances
of recovery. Should the tall,
gangling California tennis genius

The New York Yankees are IN

The New York Yankees are IN
town.
They'll be in town until sun
down tomorrow night, when they
will have finished their three
game series with the fast-stepping
Griffmen, who hope to be step"
ping even faster than ever by the
time the dust Of all three battles
have cleared.
One thing will help the GriffS
over the rough spots in this series.
Pitching. To get 1t will mean
possibly three straight victories;
at least two, as it's a pretty big
order to wish a clean sweep over
the Yankees these days when
they're in a faSt-stepping mood
themselves.
The Griffs' chances of getting
this good pitching are good. Gen
eral Alvin Crowder, for one, is In
excellent fettle at this important
hour of the season while Earl
Whitehill and Monte Weaver have
given several indications Of being
about ready to begin on long win
ming streaks that'n be hard to
stop.
Relief Men in Form
Then there's the cases Of Al
phonse Thomas, Jack Russell ana
Bill McAfee, the three prize relief
men, now turning in commenda-
BILE work for Manager Joe Cronin
these days.
Upon the shoulders of all hinge
the Griffs' chances of downing the
Yankees during the next two days
as Cronin will no doubt press
every man into service if the ne
cessity arises.
Just how these hurlerS crash
through" if they're all used will
be interesting to watch. Maybe,
Crowder, Whitehill and Weaver
who have been nominated as the
starters for the three games, will
not have to shout for help. II
this proves to be the case, every
thing will be swell; if not, well.
it'll be interesting to see whether
the rescue men will be able to
hold the Yanks at bay.
The chances are that they will.
if they're called upon, as each and
every one, Thomas, McAfee and
Russell, have turned in some ex-
cellent efforts in relief roles OF
the recent past.
Thomas latest was against the
Philadelphia AS on Sunday when
he went to Lefty Walter Stewards
rescue and held the AS for two
innings while the GriffS went on
to win by virtue of an. eighth-in"
ming rally off Rube Walberg, left
handler.
Yanks Stepping Along
AS is pretty we'll known, the
Yanks are in the midst of a win
ming stride right now that stamps
them a most potent opponent at
this crucial moment of the cam
paign.
Their three recent victories over
the supposed dangerous Chicago
White Sox put them in this class
again and this brings to mind
the idea that it's going to take
some nightly high-clasS pitching
to stop 'em during the next few
games.
The Griffs possess the pitching
strength to call a halt if only the
pitchers find themselves in the
right sort of fettle for the test.
