27.-Mowing down opposition in
defense of his title, Ellsworth
Vines, jr., American and British
champion, defeated A. T. Eng
land of Britain today as the
Wimbledon tennis championships
swung into their second day.
The score was 6-1, +6, Is,
6-1.
Vines never took the match
too seriously, was invariably able
to produce winning shots when
needed. Occasionally, however,
the Lancashire players low soft
shots and his kicking service had
the American titleholder on the
jump.
First U. S. Casualty
The first American casualty OF
the day was the elimination of
A. L. BreeSe of the United States
by R. Mkt Of Japan in straight
sets 60, 60, 81.
C. L. Burwell, of the United
States, made short work of Hans

Making her first appearance at
Wimbledon this year, Mrs. Helen

Many people of acumen, who
do not hesitate to speak their
minds, insist that publication OF
the so-called blacklist" was un
dertaken and is propagated by
the conference specifically to mis-
lead the public into the false be-
lief that schools included in this
list we're and are lax in Schol-
astic eligibility requirements. How
ever, most of all, these people re-
sent the alleged intimations (con-
tained in the lists publications.
of the undesirable character OF
the "blacklisted" colleges.
Numerous evidences are OF
fered by the public that publica,
ton of the conferences So-called
blacklist" is misleading large por'
tions of the public into the false
idea that colleges included IN the
list are unethical in their prac
tices and lax as to scholastic
eligibility requirements. These
evidences assume the form OF
positive proof and leave one with
no alternative but TO be con-
vinced beyond reasonable doubt
Two Sided Story
"It is considered an honor by
some colleges to be included in
this list" remarked DR.. Arthur j
Wilson, of North Carolina State
as he explained that he has al
ways interpreted publication o1
the So-calIed blacklist" as a mere
admission by the conference that
colleges included in the list are
ScholaStically and athleticauy on
a par with conference colleges.
Thus it may be seen that there
are two sides to this story OF the
so-called blacklist"
''Is it honorable, ethical, fol
the Southern Conference to try
to force members of the confer
ence to violate contracts made
and entered into in good faith
with institutions outside the con-
ference?"
This question, hurled at this
investigator by literally hundreds
of followers Of sport, brings us
to a consideration of just what
this question means.

"Their work on the road has
not been any flash in the pan,"
they say. 'tInstead it's been all
that the winning column shows.
The club is hitting, getting bet
ter than average pitching, and
best of all, is playing the smart
sort of baseball that charac-
teriZes championship contend
erS."
"JOe CrOnin has his men on
their toes every minute" they
continue, "and what's more the
entire team looks like the next
flag winner just by its actions
out on the field"
The Cleveland scribes base
their opinions on what they've
seen of the Griffs for the past
two days.
Better Than Any Club
But even though this may not
figure to be in the best bit OF
judgment for the short space OF
time, the same said scribes come
right back by saying that the
GriffS have looked better than
any club that has hit the home
stadium this month and that
aside from this no club can play
the ball the Griffs have of late
and not be the league leader, or
up among the first place con
tenders.
"Why, the way the team goes
out and makes its runs when
they are needed is uncanny."
a st. Louis baseball man de-
cIared. "Surely no con-
tender has been able to do
this sort of thing this year, and
only the Yanks were able to do
it when they were going SO
good at this time in 1882. The
season may still have many
weeks to go, the going may
still become plenty rough, but
if CrOnin and his men don't
miss grabbing the flag, we're
pretty poor gueSsers, that's ALL"
The Griffmen were slow tt
attract the scribes in the different
cities at the start of this current
trip. In st. Louis, for example
the baseball men smiled pleasantly
when Griff victories were regis
tered, saying all the whilsI that
they should have won anyhow

He's Mystery Man

The mystery angle Of Burke's
major league career is what
has kept him on the Washing
ton club roster. UP until last
Sunday his sole claim to dis
tinction was a no-hit game
against Boston two years ago,
outside of that his perform
ances since 1927 being mediocre
indeed.
Meanwhile we know of but
one individual who has had
any faith at all in Burke, that
individual being Clark Griffith,
who ought to know a pitcher
when he sees one by this time.
Griff told us early this spring
he thought Burke was about
ready to come around, and
truth to tell our tongue was in
our cheek when Griffith spoke.
That the fans have long ago
given up hope on Burke has
been attested time and time
again by their conduct toward
him on his occasional appear
ances at home and we have
heard many of them jokingly
say when the need of a relief
hurler was in prospect that
if Cronin sent in that Burke"
they were going to leave the
park.

Declaring that Alvin Crow

requested President William
Harridge and Connie Mack to

ing Crowder to forego the hon

selection.
1--WE need all CrOwder has to

this morning, "and 1 am asking

against so weak an opponent as
the St. Louis Browns.
Demonstrated Power
Then in Chicago, everybody'a
eyes began to look up as the
Griffs not only won games, but
demonstrated plenty of power and
smartness while winning them.
with the Yankees losing
here and there, the Washington
boys are really making a race
of it," they said. Then later,
their opinions turned to land
how"
So it seems the Griffs are
finally making everybody in the
league sit up and take notice oil
their work. Their third straight
victory over the Indians yester'
day helped add incentive to the
fact while the manner in which
they came from behind to regis
ter brought out the contention
of the Cleveland ScribeS that at
least there was a. team ChaC Truly
could go out and get runs when
they were needed, as easily If not
more easily than the way the
Yanks got runs when they were
winning so regularly in the
palmy days of 1882.
The Griffs now lead the
league by two full games, as the
Yanks idled yesterday at Detroit
due to rain. And winning again
from the Indians helped Cronln
and his boys establish new
season record for consecutive
wins, it now being eight, where
seven in a row was the best any
team could do prior to yesterday 3

BRITISH DEFEAT
j. s. .RYDERC CUP
GOLF TEAM

SOUTHPORT, England, June
27.-Great Britain won the Ryder
Cup, emblematic of team Supre-
macy in golf, from America today
in a dramatic finish that had its
climax when sgd Easterbrook.
the Englishman, beat DenSmore
Shute, America, l up in the final
match of the day and series.
The victory gave England the
cup with 61a points to 5Ha.
So once again the precedent
that the home side must win in
this series was preserved, though
only by the skimpiest of margins.
A great gallery, estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and 10000, ganged
about the players in the last two
matches, jostling them and even
hemming in the Prince of Wales,
an interested spectator.
Take Momentary Lead
England had taken the lead, 2la
to 11a, as the result Of yesterdays
foursomes. However, the Ameri-
cans had forged ahead in the first
four singles matches today, win
ming three to assume command,
Az to 31a. The Englishmen
gained two of the next three
singles to deadlock the count at
51a all. Today's results:
Abe Mitchell, England, defeated
Olin Dutra, America, by 8 and 8.
Gene Sarazen, America, de-
feated A. H. Padgham, England,
walter Hagen, America, de-
feated A. J. Lacey, England, by
2 and l.
Craig Wood, America, defeated
Davies, England, by 4 and 3.
Arthur Havers, England, de-
feated Leo Diegel, America, by
4 and 3.
Percy AIliss, England, defeated
Paul Runyan, America, by 2 and 1.
Horton Smith, America, defeated
Charles WhitcOmbe, England, by
2 and /.
Sid EasterbrOOk, England, de-
feated DensmOre Shute, America,
1 up, S6 holes.
Best at FOursomes
| Thus, the two countries we're
a stand-off in today's singles,
each taking four victories, the
cup going to England because of
its greater proficiency at Scotch
foursomes.
The Prince of Wales, ardent
fan, was also part of a generous
gallery that followed the Sara
zen-Padgham match. The royal
galleryite watched with interest
as both bunkered their ap.
proaches on the thiry-second
hole and applauded heartily
when the American blasted out
of the trap, dead to the hole,
for the shot that won the match.
Then Wales came forward to
congratulate Sarazen, with whom
he has a warm friendship of sew
eral years standing.
Dutra Badly Beaten
Mitchell scored one of the most
devastating victories in Ryder r
Cup history in overwhelming Du-
ira, American P. G. A. champion.
Dutra was 3 up for the first nine
holes but then fell apart, losing
eight straight holes. He won the
nineteenth with a birdie this af-
ternoon, then lost five straight to
Mitchell'S super-brilliance, Alb e
having a "a to the turn.

Burke Answers Fan

"What keeps that fellow on
our cIub?" ,
"Why did Washington send
Linke back and keep Burke?"
Such have been the questions
aimed at Bobby particularly
this year, but now Burke has
answered.
Furthermore he has verified
for the time being at least,
Clark Griffith's faith in him.
It is reasonable to believe
this faith is shared by Cronin,
for Joe has kept sending
Burke in there in various roles.
probably determined to prove
one way or the other just what
future value Bobby might pos
SeSs.
Oldtimers hereabouts have
consigned Burke long ago to
the famous group of hopeless
pitchers which received particu.
larly thorough trials by the
Grl11men, only 10 1A4LdAly 4aAA
to, make the grade.
Another Joe Engel, Jim
Shaw or Curly Ogden" many
of them have said, but now
Bobby Burke has stemmed this
tide of comment and some will
no doubt revise their former
convictions that Bobby Burke,
the tall lefthander in his sew
enth year of major league base
ball has finally proved his
worth.
Or will it be another two
years before he turns in a great
Job of pitching as it has been
since his no-hit game against
Boston.
The Washington times., 1933-06-27

When Sharkey was called on
to speak, his first remark was:
81 don't feel so very much
at home because don't hear
any boOs!"
Which takes us back to
Bobby Burke, the mystery man
of the Washington pitching
staff, who will hardly know
how it feels to take the field
on his next appearance here
and not hear any ''boos."

IN COUNCIL

The Northern Baptist conven-
ton today decided to continue
it's affiliation with the Federal
Council of Churches after a dis
cussing of the subject in Wash
ington Auditorium, where meet
ings are to be held through Sun
day.
The convention decided, how
ever, that the federation should
not be authorized to speak for
the Baptists on such subjects as
birth control, peace and war, and
temperance and prohibition, on
which the convention has not eX-
pressed it's stand.
The Northern faction may take
a much more liberal stand on the
wet and dry question than did
the Southern Baptists, who passed
a resolution Of condemnation of
the President for his efforts to
return beer and effect repeal, has
been indicated several times.
Particularly was this indicated
during a speech made last night

BONUS MARCH

Communist leaders who re-

were said to be in Washington
arranging for another march July
%, the date of the riots last year.
Emanuel Levine and Harold
Hickerson, members of the Vet
erans National Liaison Committee
who resigned at Fort Hunt after
admitting they were Communists,
were said to be backing the new
march, with John T. Pace, left
wing leader of 1882, also taking
an active part.
Meanwhile the Veterans Bu-
reau is continuing with its plans
to enlist $4,000 veterans from all
parts of the country in the forest
army. Right wing leaders" at
the recent Fort Hunt convention
are hoping to use this number of
men as the nucleus of forming a
new and powerful organization.

Slump Shown
In Marriages.;
Divorces

Marriages and divorces in the
District of Columbia were fewer
last year than in 1881, according
to reports received by the Census
Bureau. This has been, the rule
throughout the States, and is
probably due to unsettled eco
nomic conditions, which discour-
age a change of matrimonial
status, whatever it may happen
to be.
There were 4,947 marriages and
140 divorces in the District last
year, and 5,316 marriages and 215
divirces in 1881, a decrease of SO
per cent in marriages and 34.9
per cent in divorces. 1t is pointed
out, however, that there were
more divorces than usual in 1881
because special measures were
taken to clear a crowded docket.
There were 48 annulments in
1882, and only four in 1881, the
procedure apparently being less
expensive than divorce.

Detective Here Won Reversed
Decision on Appeal in Case
Of 'Third-Degree' Charge

Detective Sergt. Robert j. Bar
rett went on trial for a second
time in District Supreme Court
today before a jury of IL men
and Justice Daniel w. O'Dono-
ghue, charged with assault upon
George M. Baber.
The charge grew out of the
third degree" investigation of
the police department by agents
of the Department of Justice a
year ago.
Barrett was tried and convicted
last year, but the Court of Ap-
peals reversed the decision on the
ground of improper instruction
by the trial court.
The detective is charged with
beating Baber on the night of
April 6, 1881, after Baber had
been arrested in connection with
the investigation of the murder
of Lizzie Jaynes, cashier in the
Garden T Shop, Eighteenth
Street and Columbia Road North

Baber was later released.
