Took Us at Our Word

Then, when we had used up
all of the space allotted to us,
it occurred that perhaps a lot
of people would like to know the
nationalities of players on the
other teams. So, we indited a
foot-note to the effect that on
receipt of a Self-addressed
stamped envelope. we would
furnish the nationality of any
player in the American League.
Well, the circulation took us
at our word. ANY" seemed to
have been taken in its collec-
tive sense, rather than in its
singular sense, and the number
of people who not only want to
know the nationalities of one
or two players as we'll as the
entire American League person.
mel, surprised even a staid old
observer of public wants and
public habits.
Even the postman who trudges
up and down the well-Worn
steps of 1317-21 H st. N. w..
was bumped back when he came
in the following day and the
day after that, exclaiming
"Whatta dOin', startin' another

CAR WOOD SEES
TOUGH RACE

DETROIT, Aug. 4.-Gar Wood,
the Fox of Greyhaven" who has
held the Harmsworth Speedboat
Trophy in the United States for
more than a decade, expects a
tough race" when Hubert Scott
Payne races him here next
month.
The English challenger cabled
yesterday that he would arrive
between the 18th and 18th of
this month. Subsequently, the
secrecy which has shrouded his
movements was withdrawn. His
boat was revealed as a very
radical design, only 24l2 feet
long and powered by a single
Napier motor. This compares
with Woods Miss America x,
which is 38 feet long, and has
four Packard motors developing
$500 horsepower.
"He must have something
very worth WHILE" said the
"FOx of Grayhaven" when he
was advised of the revelations
in England.
The Harmsworth claSsic-sym-
bolic for years of world speed
supremacy on water-is to be
run September 2 and i, with a
third heat on the 5th if neces-
sary. The race goes to the ma
ton whose boat or boats win
two out of three heats.
The Washington times., 1933-08-04

in the place betting and three
horses in the third money, or
show betting, with consequently
smaller prices.
In recent years installation OF
electric computing machines or
"totalisators" at several of the
tracks have eliminated chance
for illegal manipulation of the
mutuel pay-off prices. These
totes" automatically record and
present for public view sale Of
each ticket on each horse in the
race, before the race is run, so
that the bettor can tell within
few cents how much his
ticket should return him if he
wins, even before the race is run.
Many of the tracks, too, have
taken to the system of breaking
to the even cent" which cuts down
the amount accruing to the track
on breakage.
But whether the mutuels are
operated on a fair or "gyp"
basis, the player, over a period of
a hundred races, II no new money
is bet, will see practically all the
money going to the track through
the percentages.
The player, in the long run,
cannot win. Inevitably, unless
they quit at the top Of a winning
streak

luck, cannot be "On" the win

A Great Stop at Short

I think I saw as good a piece
of shortstopping on the part of
Joe Cronin when he dug r.
Johnson's drive out of the dirt
in yesterdays ninth inning as
I ever saw in quite a few cal
endars of looking at the grand
old national pastime.
The Boston left fielder caught
one of Jack Russelrs pitches
square on the Schnozzle for as
fast a return as any fielder
would want to stand up against
right down at Cronin'S feet.
No fan in the house would
have given a dime for Joe's
chances of tagging it, it was
so sudden.
But he reached down his
gloved hand and took it out
of the dirt and CRIME of the
scraped ground and had it
down to Kuhel so fast that we
saw a few folks around us rub
bing their eyes to make sure
they saw what they had seen.
THAT play was worth the
price of admission alone" de-
clared a gent near me-and it
was.
None needs a magnifying
glass today to discern the three
game lead Washington is toting
in the American League as the
result of some very gratifying
Qocally) developments of the
past "a hours.
In fact that advantage of the
Griffmen is now plainly visible
to the naked eye and seem to
haev been growing gradually
day by day as one kept an eye
on the scores coming out of
Yankee Stadium. It might al
most be fair to say today that
the Yanks haven't turned out to
be the greatest home team in
the world-something they were
saying about Washington only q
few weeks ago.

WEST GOLFERS
NEAR CROWN

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 4.-Only
r. L. Miller, jr., Of Jacksonville,
Fla, defending champion, stood
between the title and seven ster'
ling golfers from the Far West as
the National Public Links golf
championship today swept into
the third round, the quarter
finals.
Miller hot as a firecracker in
his final round, hurt his right
leg climbing bank on the
twelfth hole and was limping last
night. However. he expected a
good massage to timber up his
strained muscles and to be ready
when he started out today.
Miller meets Bud Ward, Of
Olympic, Wash. Both showed
much improvement yesterday
over their early qualifying rounds.
Charles Ferrera, San Francisco,
1881 National Public Links golf
champion, was the favorite to win
his way into the finals and may
meet Miller in the finals if the
Florida star defeats Ward and
the winner of the Henry Batihta-
Don Erickson match today.
Joe Green, the Philadelphia
Irishman, left a host of friends
here. Many of the experts had
picked him to win. Bruce Nc
Cormick, who defeated him, is
rated one of the best match play
ers in Southern California.

CLOSE COMPETITION MARKS
Dali OTTNr EnD All STADC


CHICAGO, June 13.-UP).-
The ballotiug among the nations
fans to determine the lineups of
the two all-star teams from the
National and American Leagues
which will meet at Comiskey
park, Chicago. Chicago July 6,
developed the closest competition
for the shortstop berth on the
National league club and the
catcher's job on the American
league team.
Dick Bartcll of the Phillies and
Floyd Vaughn of the Pirates are
waging the nip and tuck battle
for the ShOrtstop position on the
National league club. Bartell
seems likely to get the honor be-
cause of lbs superior hitting and
experience. Leo Durocher of the
Cardinals is undoubtedly the best
fielding shortstop in either lea
que, but his weak hitting has pre-
vented him from receiving many
votes.
Bill Dickey of the Yankees and
Mickey Cochranc of the Athletics
are the two leaders among The
American league catchers. Coch-
ranc was considered the peer Of
all catchers a few years ago, but
Dickey seems TO have taken that
honor from his in the last year
OF two. Rick Terrell of the Red
Sox is one of the best catchers in
baseballf but oddly enough has
pOlled few votes.
There is keen competition in
both leagues for the center field
berth with Wally Berger of the
Braves, Lefty O'Doul of Brook
lyn, and Freddy Lindstrom of the
Pirates the leading candidates in
the National league and Ear

man of the Yankees and Fred
Schultz of the Browns topping
the American league voting.
The other positions are COM
paratively easy to fill with per-
haps the exception Of the third
pitchers on each team. Warnekc
of the Cubs and Hubbell of the
Giants are a cinch for the first
two pitching berths on the Ma
tional league team. Red Lucas
or ST Johnson of Cincinnati or
Bill Hallahan Of the Cardinals
will get the other Job.
Grove of the Athletics and Co
mez of the Yankees arc the
American leagues two best pitch
crs. Wesley Terrell of Cleveland
probably will get the other berth,
but it may be a close contest
with his young teammate, Oral
Hildebrand. and General Crowdcr
of Washington
The hard part of the contest is
to pick the opposing batting or
ders, and name the three pitch
ers leach pitcher is to work
three inningsl, in the order in
which they will be used.
One could guess the batting
orders about as follows:
