First Game
of Tourney
Won by sc.
Defeated Henning in Hard.
Clean. Game at Alexandria
Tuesday Night
MEET GLENWOOD NEXT
Will Tangle With Pope Coun-
ty Quint This Thursday
Evening in Semi-Finals

Playing the prettiest defensive
game of their career the Sank Cen
ire High School basketball quint
proved their superiority over Hen
ming in the opening game of the
district tournament at Alexandria
Tuesday evening.
Two or more men were guard
ing Pat Dubois, Sank Centres out
standing center. during the entire
game.
1t was a repetition of other
games; Pat kept his tormentors ex-
ceedingly busy, leaving Butch"
Iwinski to run almost wild. In
short order after the game started
Butch" had scored five points
one nice field goal and three out of
four fouls.
Henning had a shifty lad at CEN
ter, tall and rangy, but he wasn't
quite equal to take the tip-off from
Pat.
In the first half Sank Centre play
ed three-man defense. allowing
Iwinski to run at will, and boy,
how he travelled.
Probably the features Of the eve
ming were the two baskets made by
Johnson of the locals. The first
was from a nasty angle way back
of the foul line on the left hand
side of the basket. The other was
almost from the center Of the floor
and to the side. With two men
charging toward him johnson set
himself for quick throw and the
oval landed kerplump into the net
without hitting a rim. That shot
really put the game on ice.
Sank Centre had a to lead at
the end of the first quarter; II to
6 at the half, and Is to Is at the
end of the third period. The final
score was 20 to II.
Both teams developed fine spir-
it Of craftsmanship. When Korf, of
the locals, was sent to the side
lines on fouls late in the game, the
visitors and Korf's teammates con-
graduated him upon the fine de-
fensive game he had played.
The following Is the detailed
sc0re of tha pame.

Costs
Set Low Record
More Improvement for Dollars Ex-
pended Than Ever Before Bien-
NAL Report Shows

Minnesota got more highway i'm
provement for its dollars in 1892
and 1881 than in any previous per-
iod covered by records of the State
Highway department, according to
the departments biennial report
Just issued. ~ e.k -ts,' =
Paving work in the past two
years was done at 20 per cent less
cost than prevailed before, while
grading was on a cost basis Of 20
to Is per cent lower than previous
ly, the report shows.
Greater value has been re-
ceived for money expended in 1881
and 1882 than during any previous
period covered by our records" says
the report. FOR example, during
the seven years from 1924 to 1880
inclusive, 958 miles were paved at
a cost Of SOS, 100000. During 1881
and 1882, 962 miles were paved at
cost Of $20,300, 900.
Records with regard to grading
show similar saving in construc-
ton costs. During the five year
period, 1925 to 1880 inclusive, 1875
miles Of grading was completed at
a cost of $22, 100000. In 1882, L.
200 miles were graded and there
was also 451 miles of regarding.
the entire amount being done at
cost Of SIG, 100000"
The large amount Of work done
in 1882 was made possible by
bond issues totalling SIC, 900, 900, and
by Federal aid receipts Of approx
mately $10,000,0 900. These revenues.
which will not be available in 1888,
and 1894, constituted go per cent of
the total construction expenditures
in the past two years.
Charles M. Babcock, who was
highway commissioner during the
time covered by the report, includ-
ed in the statement the following
recommendations:
The Dunn one-mill general road
tax should not be repealed for at
least the next two years.
The state highway department
should, when revenues permit, take
over more Of the important second
ary roads, thus relieving local real
estate Of the cost Of maintaining
them.

PIRATES GAIN
IN NATIONAL
LEAGUE

The Dodgers absorbed two
thorough shellackings from Pitts
burgh in the only major league
games played yesterday, IA to 2
and to 0. The Bucs lined out
Is hits in each encounter. Owen
Carroll and Ray Benge, Carey's
mound aces, started but each
lasted no longer than a vacation
filtration. Swift and Swetonic
went the route for the winners.
Traynor and Lindstrom led the
onslaught, Pie collecting six
bingles and Freddy five. The
Dodgers went to pieces completely
in the eighth inning of the opener
when Pittsburgh scored nine runs.
Lindstrom, whose light hitting
handicapped Pittsburgh for the
first two months of the season,
has boosted his average more than
40 points in the past month and
now boasts the respectable mark
of .297.
The double victory put the P1-
rates only three points behind the
second-place Cubs and but four
games back of the Giants, with
whom they will begin a crucial
Six-game series tomorrow.
The Washington times., 1933-07-18

The Browns, they figured, were
about "shot" at this stage of the
season-their pitching wasn't
hoding up and their batting was
as far off form as any teams
batting could be.
But the Browns gave the Griffs
a little demonstration of the un-
certainties of baseball, once they
arrived in this beautiful city of
ours and had had time to throw
a few" out on that spacious dia-
mond at Griffith Stadium prior
to Saturdays doubleheader.
Browns Get Tough
The result found the Griffs
terribly pressed as the Killefer-
men, instead of falling down and
becoming mince meat for Cronin
and his gang, rose up and be-
came pretty tough opponents, the
Griffs barely being able to tri-
umph in the doubleheader Sat-
urday, l to 0, and to 0, the
Browns winning Sundays single
encounter, Z to 0.
A great deal of this sort of
playing has been hard for even
the dyed lin the wool Griff fan
to take. But it should be given all
matter of consideration for a
little while longer in that the
Griffs, to a man, have merely
allowed themselves to drop into a
batting slump which they're find
ing it terribly difficult to snap
out of.
The reaction of their almost
unbelievable winning ways out
West is the true reason for this
sudden reversal of form. But it's
not liable to last long as the team
is still a great one-has all the
balance in the world-and pos
sesses the hitting and pitching
strength that can go out there
and win under the right sort of
conditions.
Outbreak Due
The Griffs dropped into a SINH
lar slump earlier in the season,
it will be remembered. But it
was not long before every man
began clicking on all cylinders and
excellent pitching was coupled
with heavy hitting. the result
being an inspired winning streak
which found leadership of the
league gained.
Manager Cronin and his gang
firmly believe another of these
outbreaks are ahead of them if
only they can get out of the
slump which is handicapping
their efforts at the present time.
They're due to break out again,
they say, and when they do they
mean to sound their war whoop
even louder than before.
And that's sincere, we're here
to tell youse guys. Maybe all this
will commence in the remaining
two games with the Browns to-
day and tomorrow. 1t could hap

GOLFERS START
NATCHPLAY

Match play rounds were to be-
gin today in the championship
flights of the Public Parks golf
tournament at Rock Greek Park
and East Potomac Park follow
ing yesterdays 18-hole qualifying
rounds at both courses.
Harlan Will, son of the green's
keeper at the Woodmont Coun-
try Club, paced the pack at East
Potomac with 72, three strokes
over par for courses B and D.
John Baer, 19-year-old student at
Catholic University, led the brig
ade at Rock Creek Park with II,
4 strokes over par.
Scoring at Rock Greek was
lower than East Potomac and
only scores under 80 gained the
championship flight at Rock
Creek Park.
Among the unexpected casual
ties were Volney Burnett, whose
IS at East Potomac left him out
in the cold as far as the cham
pionship is concerned, and Harry
Saunders whose 81 lowered him
to the second flight at Rock
Creek. Other stars who missed
the first flight were Paul Heston,
Larry Downey, Dave Bent and
Hot" Marks.
George Molloy, 1882 Public
Parks champion, failed to COM
pete in the qualifying rounds,
thereby defaulting his title. He is
working and can't afford to take
leave.

How These Odds Shift

It has been a very interest
ing study to observe the shift
ing of the odds in the two
major leagues; odds on this
team and that to finish in some
particular place, since the sea-
son opened a little over three
months ago.
The Griffmen, for instance,
have come from a 3-to-1 shot
to finish first, to even money
OF the current quotations to
win the pennant.
The Athletics, who were
negged at the same price as
the Griffmen last April, have
fallen to 8 to i and the Yam
KEGS, 2-to-5 choice to win when
the season opened have now
gone to even money along with
the Griffs.
But even a greater transi"
ton in the betting has come
to pass in the National League
in view of the work of the
New York Giants, who started
the season as only a 20 to I
shot to win, generally being
credited with having the
strength to finish in fifth place.
From 20 to l the Terrymen
have startled even their best
wishers and are now 6 to 5 to
win the flag.

Plain or Simple?

w. Perrusso, 1924 North Cap
itol Street: If the exact word
ing of the bet was that Wash
ington would not be on top
of the league Sunday last" A
loses, as washington was on
top until very late Sunday
afternoon. If the bet was that
Washington would not be on
top at the end of Sundays
play, then the bet is a stand
off, as Washington and New
York were in a tie at sundown.
Regardless of the technical
wording of the bet it is i'm
possible for A to win the $5 as
no one team was ahead of
Washington at any time Sun
day, or even today (Tuesday), {,
until both Washington and
New York are through play.
