The fresh water streams were
clearing up wonderfully under the
gentle influence of a mild August
sun, and the mercury was drop
ping to the notch which puts
APPETITE and a fighting spirit into
the bass, king of the local fresh
water joints, when the furies of
heaven demolished the idyllic
setting, and left swirling, muddied,
swollen streams in their wake.
Set Back for While
And, while salt water fishing
may recover from the effects of
the elemental storm only slightly
the worse for the wear in a week
or two, fresh water fishing has
been set back for three or four
weeks, as the damage is more last
ing and disastrous.
River beds which up to the
storm were covered with white
sand and pebbles Gdeal for fish
ing) are now thick with black
slime, broken tree branches and
similar truck.
Familiar fishing places have
been washed away. Favorite
holes where the small and large
mouth bass congregated are no
more.
Fish Badly Treated
The fish themselves have been
badly treated. Many have been
killed by the rushing waters
and all have been torn away
from their favorite haunts.

The Washington times., 1933-08-28

Any letter poStmarked after
midnight, September 8 will not
be considered, regardless of
whether the writer's selection is
perfect or whether his $50 word
explanation is considered sound
baseball logic.
This will mark the eleventh
consecutive year The Times has
conducted this contest.
Proper Batting Order
All you have to do to COM
pete for a free ticket to the big
series is to try to select the
10 men Babe Ruth picks and
place them in the proper batting
order, and write your reasons
therefor. Choosing the same
players (seven fielders and a
catcher and two pitchers) will
help you little unless you try to
distribute the batting strength
in the same manner as the
"Bambino." It makes no diff
ference which pitcher is named
first in the batting order.
Batting averages should not be
taken too seriously when select
ing the team. Of course any
player having a high batting
average has to be good but
whether he is worth more to his
team than a man hitting 20 or
80 points less is a matter for
you to decide, especially when
the poorer" hitter often drives
in more runs.
You can be sure Babe Ruth is
going to give this deep thought.
Unless you, too, give considerable
attention to such details you will
find yourself left out in the cold
when the ten tickets are awarded.
Not Guessing Contest
This contest, you know, is not
a guessing contest. It's a test of
baseball knowledge and judg-
ment and skill. Not only must
you name the same players whom
the Babe selects but you must &C.
company your team with a letter
of $50 words or less, explaining
why you make the choices you
do. Much depends upon your
reasoning and logic.
Don't put off making your Sc
lections just because you have
until midnight of September 8.
Remember if you once put off
getting down to work it'll be that
much harder to start later on. It
isn't worth risking your chance
to go to the baseball classic at
no expense to yourself, simply be-
cause you delayed too long in
getting on the job.
While no past winner has ever
repeated in the 10 years of the
contest, there is nothing in the
rules to prevent him from trying
again. Send in as many select
ions as you wish but remember
each change demands a letter
with the explanation as to why
one player is picked over another.

Condition of Course
Worries u. s. q, 4

The United States Golf Asso-
citation has been worried about
the condition of the KenWood
course in Cincinnati, where the
National Amateur starts Septem-
ber II.
The course, entirely adequate
from the standpoint of it's testing
qualities, has suffered from the
midsummer drought because of
it's newness Git is only four years
old. For a time it was feared
that the title event might have
to be taken to another Cincinnati
course in better condition.

BYRD REPLACES
RUTH IN LINEUP
Of YANKEES

With champions in sports drop
ping from their thrones like the
Prince of Wales riding in par
ticularly tough Steeplechase, it
appears high time to record again
the final passing of the great and
only Babe Ruth, especially since
the mighty hitter today occupies
a reserved seat on the bench for
the simple reason he can't hit.
But in view of the fact Mr..
Ruth has so often been waved
out of the arena for good and
all, only to come back and defy
both the quick and the dead with
some sort of new clouting record,
it probably will be both safe and
sane merely to record the aged
cripple hobbies along, like the
passing of long winter, on his
way out, ever remaining base
balls biggest drawing card.
Thirty thousand fans filled the
ball park at Detroit yesterday to
see MFR. Ruth and the New York
Yankees. They saw the Babe go
absolutely hitless, as the Detroit
Tig--s won the opener, to 3, and
they didn't see him at all when
the Yankees won the finale, IL
to 2. After his flop, Ruth was
benched Ill favor of Sam Boyd,
who Joined with Dixie Walker in
the nightcap to lead the Yanks'
hitting barrage with four each.
In all the New Workers got %
s.feties in the game.
In Sunset OF Career
On the bench, Ruth must have
suffered keenly. He has hit only
% homers this season and his
homer crown will go to Jimmy
FoxA, of the Athletics. Further
more, he hasn't chance to reach
his much-desired goal of 700
homers for his career. He prob
ably has seen his last world series
as player.
Quite unmindful probably Of
Ruth and his bum ankle and other
worries, more than $4,000 New
York fans watched the noble
Giants lose to the St. Louis Cardi-
males, 7 to /, and tie in the second
game, S to 5, as darkness fell in
the eighth. After Dizzy Dean linn
tied the league leaders to six hits
in the opener, pop bottles flew and
police squads sWarmed on the field
| in the veSper affair, the Giants
and fans charging the umpires
went blind on three decisions.
Manager Bill Terry pushed around
Umpire McGreW, who then, for
some strange reason, baniShed
Melvin OFT and Tom Clarke, a
coach.
The Boston Braves winning
streak was snapped at eight games
as the Tribe won the opener, Z to
0, but dropped the second game,
5 to 3, to the Cincinnati Reds. Old
Tom Zachary limited the Reds to
four hits in the first battle, but
Cincinnati clouters garnered 16
blows off Farmhouse and Smith
in the second. Boston is six games
behind the Giants.
ChisOx Thump As
Chicago's White Sox won a
doubleheader from Philadelphia,
S to 3 and 9 to 8. Al Simmons
starred, getting five hits and bat
ting in six tallies, including the
deciding one in the second tilt.
Guy Bush scored his second
Shutout in four days, holding
Brooklyn to two hits, Chicago's
cubs rolling it off, to 0. Brook
lyn retaliated S to 2 in the Sec
ond half of the bill with Benge
pitching smooth ball and Hack
Wilson performing satisfactorily
at second base.
Fifteen hits off Hadley and two
more off Hebert won, to s, for
Boston's Sox over St. Louis, the
Brownies capturing the second
game, 5 to 3 with Knott, Hebert
and Stiles out-hurling Fullerton
for Boston.

DOC TURNS IN
PERFECT DAY
At PLATE
By SID KATZNELL

"Doc" Dreifus, st. Mary'S Gel
tics veteran southpaw pitcher,

header yesterday, 8 to l, at Bag
gett's field, Alexandria.
Dreifus, who is a dentist by
profession, was in fine fettle. He
sent eight batters down swinging
and was never in any danger.
Besides pitching air-tight ball he
had a perfect day at the stick,
getting two for two.

at Riverdale Park. The big
pitcher granted only seven hits.
Bill jenkins Gichner's Red sox
took it on the chin from the

QUALITY FIRST,
! SAYS GILMAN
BY H. M. GILMAN,
Vice President, Packard

America is fed UP with socalled
bargains. The public is demanding
honest worth in its merchandise.
It. is spending money more care
fully and it is insisting that it re-
ceive true value for it's dollars.
Motor cars are being examined
more closely than ever before by
prospective purchasers who are
seeking quality and who refuse to
be beguiled by bargain price tags
on automobiles any more than on
shoes.
It may very we'll prove fortu-
nate for the entire country that the
motor car industry has steadfastly
refused to sacrifice quality for the
appeal of low price. Efforts have
even been redoubled to make au-.
tomobiles still better than a year
ago. This lends greater stability
to the worlds biggest industry at
o critical time.
The inherent built-in worth Of
the motor car Of today is greater
than it has ever been before. Ev.
cry usable science has been called
upon to help the industry produce
a better automobile.

The completion of the vehicular

grandeur the Storm King High
way on the opposite side of the
river. 1t is part of route Cd.
The huge shaft, 800 feet in
length, was built to avoid a dou-
bic crossing of the N. Y. Central
railroad tracks. Three lanes Of
modern concrete roadway run
through it. It is we'll lighted.

GRAHAM FIGHTS
LEAD SALES

Graham, adopting for all
chassis models the slipstream con-
tours that it originated a year
ago in it's successful eight-cylinder
creation, and enhancing that ad-
vanced design through equally
unusual styling in accessories ana
trim, Is bidding for 1885 favor
at the auto show with two eightS
and six, all IN the truly modern
mode.
The distinctive departures from
the conventional with which
Graham led off last year-deep-
skirted tenders, rounded hood,
sloping radiator, and all-cver har-
mony Of line-are retained, says
the company's announcement. but
are shown to even better advan.
tage through clever touches that
create new lines Of beauty or en-
phaSize lines already existing. All
three chassis models, while gen.
orally similar to their pacemaking
predecessors, thus reflect subtle
gains in their advanced styling.
To attain a frontal view in
harmony with the general de.
sign, Graham has stepped out
Of the ordinary once more ana
designed a set Of bumpers that
actually adorn the car, rather
than serving only as q necessary
utility without relation to the
conference Of the ensemble.
The Graham line of course re-
tains the 95 horsepower custom
eight, with overall length of 1876
inches, on the basis of its 1892
record Of outselling the skies in
the ratio of two-Uo-one, and its

NEW "8'S" LEAD
STUDEBAKERS

Studebaker's new line, exhibited
at the Automobile Show, consists
of a new Speedway President
Eight, a new President Eight,
new 100-horsepower Commander
Eight for $1,000, and new Stude-
baker Six. These new models in
corporate the most impressive COM
bination of improvements in all
Studebaker's 81 years of history
and result in the finest, best bal
anced. most trouble-free automo-
bile that Studebaker has ever
offered to the buying public, &C.
cording to the manufacturer.
The most outstanding improve
ment in the new Studebaker line
is power brakes. The highway de,
velopment brought about through
the efforts of the highway Saftey
engineers during the past few
years has resulted in faster travel.
This in turn has created a demand
for better braking. The answer
to this demand is power brakes,
claimed as the most outstanding
mechanical contribution in the
medium-price field this year.
There are such other far-reach-
ing developments as auto-thermic
control of carburetion and mani
folding, said to afford the nearest
approach to perfect combustion
ever attained in an automobile en-
gine.

KEYNOTE
Of DE SOTO
FOR 1883
Designers Believe It's Finest
Ever; Many Mechanical
Innovations Shown
Style is the keynote of the new

Style is the keynote of the new
De Soto for 1888.
The interior treatment has
been patterned after that of a
$4,000 special custom body on all
expensive French car, built for n
Eu. Sean lady of title. De Soto
has adhered closely to the details
of the smart and stylish finish
of this special Continental mooel
to achieve a high degree Of dis
tinction in its 1888 car.
Says It's Finest Ever
Introducing its new car, the
De Soto Motor Corporation says
that it is the finest De Soto ever
built. While retaining De Soto's
characteristic individuality, the
designers have fashioned an auto
mobile that SurpaSSeS its famed
predecessor from appearance to
performance, with particular en-
phasiS on style and convenience
features.
The beauty Of the rounded, rae
ing car type radiator, which in
dividualized De Soto on the high
ways last year, has been further
enhanced by toeing the shell out
slightly at the bottom and cur
ing the lower quarter into an
oval design, sting on the mas
sive tenders to carry out the in
tegral effect. A new and massiTe
airplane propeller-type bumper,
with the ends verging upward,
adds to the effectiveness of the
front end harmony, as do the
visorless sloping windshield and
the twin trumpet-type horns of
new design.
The overall height has been re-
duced and the wheelbase eX-
tended, contributing, among other
improvements. to the beauty and
riding comfort of the new car
Has L-Head Engine
The new De Soto six-cylinder
engine is of the generally ap-
proved Lhead design now used
by 30 per cent of automobile
manufacturers, With a silver
dome cylinder head it develops
70 horsepower, assuring better
performance and faster accelera-
tion, and is capable Of smooth
speed of 70 miles an hour.
Featuring a host of mechanical
improvements and additions are
a coincidental starter, eliminat-
ing the need for a separate
starter pedal and providing for
an assurance against stalling the
motor, and also an automatic
choke. These two advances to-
gether virtually eliminate any
thinking necessary in connection
with starting the engine, even in
the coldest weather. All that is
required to start the engine IS
to step on the accelerator-a
valuable feature also in connec-
ton with the possibility Of en-
gines stalling.
Further, mechanically, the 1893
De Soto has a new transmission,
silent in all speeds. including re-
verse, by virtue of the use of
helical gears throughout.
