Griffs Ask Fans
To Desist In
Seat Bids

Encouraged by the confidence
Washington fans have shown in
the Griffmen by making applica'
tions for world series tickets, the
Washington ball club today never
theless requested the public to re-
frain from making further reser-
vations until about September l
when an announcement will be
made as to the proper procedure
to secure tickets.
The clerical task Of sorting and
filing these applications is a ire
mendous one and will not be at
tempted until there is pretty
definite assurance the work will
not go for naught. Meanwhile
the normal office staff is being
greatly handicapped by having
to open every letter which ar
rives, lest it be of a business
nature other than seat reserva'
tions.
The club announced today that
there is nothing to be gained by
making seat reservations before
they are invited, which it was
estimated would be about Septem-
ber l in case the club is still in
a favorable position.

HAGEN
SETFOR OPEN

SOUTHPORT, England, June
28.-Undaunted by Americas de-
feat in the Ryder Cup golf
matches, Capt. Walter Hagen to-
day led his United States team to
st. Andrews, where the British
Open will begin July 3.
Gene Sarazen, who holds the
title, and Hagen are in fine fettle
for the British Open. Both won
their singles matches in the Ryder
Cup competition yesterday and
kept America in the running until
Denny Shute missed two puts on
the home green in his match with
sgd Easterbrook, Britain triumph
ing by a 612 to 5 512 score.
1t was pointed out that Hagen,
in the past, had won the British
Open after Americas Ryder Cup
team had made an unsuccessful
invasion here. British golfdom,
on the 9TH hand, was looking
forward to the first English vic
tory in the open since Arthur
Havers won il in 1923.
Yesterdays Ryder Cup triumph
gave England the edge in the in
ternational competition, three
matches to two. The next series
will be played in the United
States in 1885.

ODDS NOW 6-5
On NSHARKEY
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, June 28-With
just "a hours to live, the pre-
liminary patter in connection
with the heavyweight champion
ship drama Of tomorrow night
between Jack Sharkey and Primo
Carnera suddenly burst out upon
a more robust note this morning,
leaving the populace just little
agitated and strangely moved.
This is the immemorial way of
all heavyweight title fights and
this one. they say, not only won't
miss, but can't.
Indeed, one man who ought
to know went on record as pre-
dieting an overnight gate Of
100000 and a crowd of $4,000.
Johnny Baker, who runs the
big dice game, sent $4,000 in
against $4,000 last night on
Sharkey, the champion, these be-
ing the accepted odds at this
time, at least for those box car
bets. With the haircut money,
it's liable to be dollar for dollar
and take your choice. There
isn't any great likelihood Of a
change in the odds before the
fight, they say, although some Of
the sharpshooters are privately
Of the opinion that Camera is a
false price.

2-TEA|N TRACK
FIGHT SEEN

CHICAGO, June ga duel for
the team trophy in the national
track and field championship
this weekend was predicted today
between the New York A. C. and
the Olympic Club of San Fran
cisco. The Pacific Coast team
upon it's arrival here began prep
arations today for the contest at
Soldier Field, confident Of out
scoring the Fasteners.
Made up largely of Stanford
athletes, the Olympic Club team
boasts its greatest strength in the
hurdles, shotput, discus and pole
vault. The New York A. C. stars
are conceded to have better bal
ance of strength in the track
events, but a shortage Of sure
scorers in the field events, par
ticularly the Shotput.
Three of the Olympic Clubs
star field quartet of Henri La
borde, Gordon Dunno, JOHN
Lynwn and Bob Jones. have beat
en- 81 feet in the shot put. La
borde and Jones can heave tie
discus beyond 16o feet.

Then Immediately following
will come even more important
series with the New York Yankees
at New York, which series only
has two games scheduled, but an
important two games just the
same.
Pitching Is Important
In the quartet of engagements
against the Detroit Tigers, the
Griffs will be forced to pray for
one particular item. And that
pitching.
Yes, and in the Yankee set, too,
will better than average pitching
have to be served up if victories
are to be won.
Manager Cronin'S mound staff
looked wobbly for the first time in
several weeks yesterday in the
fourth game with the Cleveland
Indians. Tommy Thomas found
to his diSmay that he couldn't last
the route, no matter how hard he
tried, while his successors, Bill
McAfee and Jack Russell, turned
in performances as would-be res
cue men that were far from the
form which has characterized
their work of the recent past.
Just An Off Day
However, this sort of thing was
to be expected some time soon.
and maybe yesterdays efforts by
the three hurlers mean the end of
the scare-which scare could not
happen many more times in the
future, if the Griffs desire to hold
on to the lofty position in the race
that they are now enjoying.
"We're not going to lose our
grip on first place if we posi-.
bly, can help it," said Manager
CrOnin today. 1--WE simply can't
the way we're performing right
now. Yes, we lost yesterdays
game, but we were due to lose
sometime in this streak. The
idea now is to start another
and we'll do that in the final
game against the Indians. Then
it is our hope to continue in De-
troit, which success will make
us SO set that we'll be able to
battle the YankS off their feet
in those two games on July
Fourth"
Thinking it all over. the Griffs
haven't done at all badly on this
road trip. Counting the three vic.
tories at Boston and the two over
the Philadelphia AS at Washing
ton, Cronin and his team have
won IS out of their last II games
"a record that every team in the
league would like to own.
CRONIN UNWORRIED
"YOu can't worry about a
team when it makes that sort
of showing" added CrOnin.
"Our pitching was below grade
yesterday, but all three of the
boxmen who worked will be
better the next time. CrOwder,
Stewart and Whitehill are still
going like houses on fire, don't
forget.
Cronin was expected to use
Walter Stewart in today's finale
! with the Indians. Tomorrow

Mostly Exhibitions

They say that of Primo's
perhaps IS exhibitions since
the books started taking notice
of him, most of them were just
that, exhibitions. The man was
discovered in a circus by a
manager by a former relation
ship, Leon See, the gesticulat-
ing little Frenchman, who was
impressed by Primo'S size, more
than for any native boxing abll"
ity the giant might possess.
Primo, with 6O-odd pounds on
Sharkey is just ponderous
enough to kill Sharkey if, by
any chance, he should fall on
him tomorrow night. 1t will
be, needless to say, Sharkey's
business not to let this come
to pass.
To our way of thinking, even
in the Schaaf fight which
ended with a very light left
tap, Primo Camera has shown
far more ability in his foot
work than he has in his fist
work. AS far back as his God
frey foul, Primo was a pretty
fair stopper for one of his di-
mensions, but all he used his
fists for were to push and paw.
They say he is hooking a
little with that left now and
Furnishing some with his right,
showing that he is also a little
fancy with his fists as he has
been with his tootsies. In
other words. Camera has dis
covered what his hands are for
in the ring-other than to
hold out straight and shove.
The Washington times., 1933-06-28
sharkey Very shifty

: Now, an accumulation Of
such crude jarring from a man
of Cameras size may wear
down the likes of Sharkey
who has never been anynbody's
easy target and who, of all the
faults that have been found
with his work, was never
charged with standing still and
letting anybody punmel him.
Therefore, we have tomorrow
night a classy boxer with as
annoying a left jab as you'd
want to meet either in the
dark or daylight, and a right
that is nothing short of a
bludgeon, trying to get inside
of a man who will stand al
most seven inches above him
and whose arms are over six
inches longer-and one who
doesn't know any too much
about a business at which he
Is trying to get to the top.
You should be able to sort out
the two gentlemen Of whom we
speak.
Sharkey's best bet is get
down to his knitting as soon as
possible and jab his larger op-
ponent dizzy. He must carry
the fight to Carnera. He can
lose this fight by staying away
and merely defending his title,
as a novice gains courage and
impudence the longer he is
on his feet. Didn't Baer?

cBy Times Staff Correspondent

By Times Staff Correspondent
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June %.
Once again this season a Wash
ington player is at the bar OF
American League justice. The
latest development in a season Of
turbulent happenings that have
brought the Griffs to the official
attention Of league President Will
Harridge concerns Bill McAfee,
Manager Cronin'S ace relief
pitcher.
President Harridge has before
him the charges OF the Cleve-
land club that McAfee assaulted
a colored spectator following
Yesterdays game with the Indians
and speculation among the Griff-
men was rife as to the possible
penalties that McAfee will draw
in the nature Of fine or SuSpen'
sion, or both.
Describes Fight
The incident is described by
McAfee as follows:
"I noticed the cOlored fan
they called Baltimore when the
series opened here last Sunday.
He was sitting close to the bull
pen where the Washington
pitchers we're watching the
game and warming up, and in
a loud, fog horn voice he was
making many abusive remarks.
"He seemed to single me out
for his abuse, particularly when
I was warming up before going
into the game in the late in
ningS Sunday.
"He was there when I was
warming up to relieve Thomas
yesterday and the things he
shouted in my direction were
unprintabIe. When 1 went down
the players runway after the
game he continued to direct
loud remarks to me. / went in
the dressing room, came up the
stairs onto the runway and met
him.
II hit him once, on the chin,
and the police took him away.
That's all that happened"
Inasmuch as the fight occurred
under the stands it was not until
the GriffS returned to their hotel
that the incident became public.
Manager Cronin was surprised to
learn that the Cleveland club had
filed charges with Harridge.
Washington players long have
recognized the negro, known only
as Baltimore" as continual
heckler of the team whenever
the Griffs came to Cleveland. He
was a fixture in the old league
park before the Indians moved
to their new stadium. That some
body would take poke at him
they said was inevitable. Despite
the drastic action demanded OF
Harridge by the Cleveland club,
it is believed here that McAfee's
penalty, if any, will be lenient.
Fight After Game
The fact that the battle oc-
Cured after the ball game is ex-
pected to be in McAfee's favor
inasmuch as it could not be con-
strued as inciting a riot of which
the penalty is severe.
Yesterdays incident is another
Of the long list that has brought
the Griffs to the official atten-
ton of Harridge this season, in
cluding the riot at Griffith Sta
dunn with the Yankees on
"black" Tuesday, June 3, which
resulted in the suspension Of
Myer, and Whitehill.
The Washington club, however,
is already in official disfavor with
Harridge, who a month ago sent
President Griffith a warning that
complaints had been received
from other clubs that the Griffs
were using rough tactics, par
ticularly Heinie Manush.
The Washington times., 1933-06-28

when the Tigers are met in the
first game of the four-game
stretch, Earl Whitehill will get
the call. Crowder, Thomas and
Stewart will then follow in that
order, with next Mondays day
of rest making it possible for
Whitehill and Crowder to face
the Yanks in that twin bill at
New York on July 4.
