TORONTO, Ontario, August
31.-Winning Canada's an
i nual 15-mile swim in Lake
Ontario was getting to be a

brawny distance champion from
Fort Dodge, Iowa.
He won the event for the second

And in the bargain he clipped more
than l9 minutes from the course rec

one Of Canada's leading swimmers, and
Clarence Ross of Chicago. Although
the water registered 72 degrees. there
was little breeze and fumes from mo-

Earnshaw Is Angered by

BY TOM DOERER.

- FORGE EARNSHAW is
| y washed up for the 1888
~ base ball season. And he
is through with the Ath-
letics for the remainder Of his
pitching career. Gossip says that
he will play with Boston or Chi
cago next season.
His efforts with the Athletics this year
were very puny. Last Spring he peeked
at his contract while musing over the
fa- one handed Nose Grove of the year
before. And it was then he was
through with the Philadelphia club, not
yesterday.
VXIHILE there already has been too
w much wasted type on the Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody Helen Jacobs
affair in which Mrs. Moody is charged
with being piker sport. one critic, at
least. ought to step up and say that if
the latter felt like quitting it was her
move
Those blasting her for her re-
fusal to continue playing with an
injured back would have been the
first to have censured her for the
lack of common sense in failing
to default when she faced perm
anent injury.
Much ado about nothing, too. seems
to be the substance in the playing of
the unfriendly feeling between the two
Helens. Because they heaved tennis
balls at one another, instead of kisses,

an awful drubbing It may be all in
fun to jam heels into eyebrows and
knuckles into ears, but it's exciting.
And that's what the customer slaps
down the jingle for.
From my angle, 1 believe the
most important attachment to
the affair tonight Is the big
hearted attitude of Joe Turner,
the promoter. Tonight's show
marks Joe's fourth major benefit
performance within the last eight
months. He is first to aid any
cause for the worthy.
And his shows do not smack of the
d-fashioned. cheap benefit contests
which used to ruin most charity af-
fairs at the gate.
While discussing Mr.. Turner today
it might also be said that New York
and Philadelphia wrestle promoters say
he is the best matchmaker in the busi-
ness. His cards are far superior to
those in other towns. While the win
ners' names may be up before the
match. something which probably is
beyond Mr.. Turner's control. the boys
are paired to make the matches look

CONDITION OF NAT
ACE IS UNCERTAIN
Start May Reveal if Extra
Duty, Has Taken Toll
of Slab Veteran.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

W yHILE the Nationals are in
\N/ Philadelphia tomorrow
Y and Saturday for their
final fling at the Ath-
letics in Shibe Park, worried fol-
lowers of the fortunes of the
league leaders probably will get
the low down on Alvin CroWder's
pitching arm.
Whether his arm has been seriously
weakened by the extraordinary amount
of pitching he has been called uron to
do this season or he may b. expected
to shoulder his share Of tha mound
work during his club's drive down the
stretch of the championship race should
be revealed as the General takes his
scheduled shot at Connie Mack's
minionS.
Since he ran his victory string to 20
games-the best spun b. any major
league pitcher this sea -on-CroWder
has had four beatings. Two he took
in relief roles and two as a starter
The trimmings he suffered after going
to the rescue of faltering fingers oc-
caSioned no concern as to the condition
of his arm. nor did his defeat as
starter in Detroit last week. Then the
General did an excellent piece CT pitch
ing as he went full loute.
But the last time he ascended
the pitching peak, Crowder col
lapsed suddenly to take a terrific
beating before the game was
three innings old.
In the second game of the double
header in Cleveland last Sunday he
was punched all over the big municipal
ball yard as the Indians piled up
total of six scores.
After seeing their pitching ace so
severely pummeled. several high in the
councils of the Washington club frankly
admitted their fear that Crowder was
suffering from over working and that
more than brief rest might be needed
to restore the strength to the arm that
had served his club so faithful ly and
effectively since the start of the cam
paign.
Since then, CroiCder has said
his arm Jelt tired out" although
he expressed UillingneSS to take
chance Dith it any time his
club might see fit to employ him
on the slab.
There are no pitchers in the big show
any gamer than the General.

Two Bitter Pills for Earnshaw
Pitcher, ''Retired'' for Rest of Season, Asked to
Stay Away From Park and Teammates.

Earnshaw said. 'He asked me to
take my stuff out of the clubhouse
and wrote that he'd. appreciate it If
I'd stay away from the ball park.
II haven't any fault to find with
Mr.. Mack. I don't know why he
doesn't want me to pitch, but I
guess he has his reasons" Earnshaw
said
I'D like to stay in base ball. I'm
in fine shape and I'm going to stay
in shape. I don't know If they're
going to trade me or ask waivers,
but I'm not crossing any bridges
until come to them"
Earnshaw will continue to draw
his pay until the end of the season.
From Syracuse came word that
Mack would be found in q receptive
mood If any club wants to make
deal for Earnshaw during the VIM
ter. Il don't think he will ever wear
an Athletic uniform again." he was
quoted as stating.

Make-Or-Break Test,

n EANAGER Cronin has said he will
IN work Crowder in one of the three
games to be played in Phila-
delphia this week end. The manager
hopes that the thorough rest the
pitcher will have had since last Sun
days start will prove sufficient to bring
the arm around to good trim once more
And Trainer Mike Martin, who has
been tenderly massaging the valuable
f1ipper since that disastrous Cleveland
clash, feels CroWder might be ready for
the fray again.
So the General will be out on the hill
In Shibe Park tomorrow or Saturday
firing away at the AS at the start of a
game, anyway. If he is as right as his
manager and his trainer hope, those
wishing the best for the Nationals will
heave signs of relief.
Should decided weakness in
Crowder's arm be observed, well
-therel be lot of long faces in
the Washington ranks.
Picking pitchers for the Philadelphia
performances Is something of a prob
lem for Cronin, at that The manager
has decided that Earl Whitehiil as we'll
as CroWder Will see service. But he
still is mulling over a third starting
choice
Joe might use Monte Weaver. Then
again he might call on the left-handed
Walter Stewart Stewart, though, has
not been particularly good against the
AS this season. Then Bob Burke Is in
line. He looked good against the AS
in Philadelphia last month when he
went into the sixth inning to get a win
over them.
Cronin perhaps will not def
nitely select his third starter for
the set until his club gets to the
scene OF action.
He must muster lot of pitching tai
ent for the Nationals schedule the next
five days, with a double-header booked
for Boston two days after the Saturday
twin bill with the AS, to make the
planning of his peak program difficult

Four Star Smash
Hit at State

Another four star smash hit,
dramatic, thrilling, exciting, ro-
mantle, humorous, poignant, comes
to Warmers State for a four day
engagement starting tomorrow. It's
Paramount's 1.-THE Eagle and the
Hawk
And it's a name that you'll hear
frequently for the next few days,
for here's one fthose rare produc-
tons that you and you and you will
want to recommend to your friends.
It's decidedly a superior picture
which rates its superior cast-Fred-
rio March, Cary Grant, Carole Lom-
bard and Jack Oakie.
Fredric March as THE Eagle, :"
a valiant and celebrated flyer who
hates to kill, gives another Of
those portrayals that helped to
bring him the title of filmdom's
best actor. And an inspired per-
formance is contributed by hand
some Cary Grant as 1.-THE Hawk,
vicious and ruthless aeroplane ma
chine gunner. Carole Lombard
continues to be one of the screens
most effective love interests, and
Jack Oakie has a new set of wise
