NAVY BANKS ON
CLARK At FULL

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 8.-There is
a good chance that Bill Clark,
slated to play fullback on the
Navy football team, will develop
into it's most useful offensive
player.
Clark alternated with Gordon
Chun-H -Hoon at halfback last year.
However, fullback in his natural
position on account of his line
hitting powers and ability to
make substantial gains whenever
called upon.
Clark is also an accurate
punter and a good passer. The
stout midwest lad, his home being
Garner, Iowa, possesses powerful
muscular development, particul-
arly in his legs. and has added
weight this year.

for all concerned. That may
sound like wishing for a base
ball Utopia, but things are rap
idly moving toward a better
balance in all lines of endeavor
and baseball must come to it.
There are enough of the
older heads still in the game,
and enough young blood to
bring about a new baseball
deal which will be a heritage
to the sport, yet which will not
entirely obliterate the firm
foundation on which the pas
time was built.
Tom Yawkey, the new owner
of the Red SoX and his aide,
Eddie Collins and Will Har-
ridge and Billy Evans and Louis
Comisky are young, modern
business men. So are Bill
Veeck, Gerry Nugent, Sam
Breadon, Branch Hickey, Emile
Fuchs and w. E. Benswanger,
of the National League.
With the experience of the
likes of Griff and the Shibe
boys and those of the older
order, baseball can be revamped
without danger to itself and
with great benefits to the
future of the game.

Plodders Earn Dough

I thought the preliminary
bouts saved the show at Fort
Washington last night, but that
is often so.
The plodders earn their money
and the prima donnas stall
around, particularly if the gate
doesn't look any too big. Such
is the way of the ring.
If it hadn't been for Soldier
Clark and Bill Bullock mixing it
up in flashy manner, as we'll as
the Mayes-Furr scrap the card
might have been a washout for
many of the fans.
Although I didn't find so
many agreeing with me, liked
the Romano-Swetnam engage
ment, if only for the energy
the Italian put into his work.
7 did not agree with the draw
decision and cannot offer the
judges any orchids.
AS for Overlin and Strickler,
Overlin won all right through
the six rounds my patience
would permit me to stick it
out, and as I was climbing
into my chariot I heard a roar
back at the arena as though
somebody had gotten knocked
out in the seventh or eighth.
However, the morning papers do
not substantiate such a suspi-
cion, and so the thing must have
dragged out. Perhaps it will be
different tonight at Twin City.
The Washington times., 1933-08-08

In fact, when accosted gen,
orally on the subject whether dis
mayed by the sudden turn of af
fairs, the usual reply was:
"Downhearted? All Olutely
not. We've made cOmebacks be-
fore, and we can make 'em
again. Just watch us, this series
is not ended yet"
And So
Combs Is Jinx
Earl Combs, apparently, holds
a monopoly, jinx or Whatnot
against Washington pitchers when
it comes to getting on base in the
first inning. A week or so ago
when the Yanks we're in Washing,
ton this veteran led off every
game with some sort of a base
hit. Here, yesterday in the first
game of the doubleheader he once
again began the game by singing
to center.
When the Griffs gathered five
runs off Van Alta in the second
inning of the first game, it
marked the first time that Cronin
and his gang have scored more
than three markers off the Yank
southpaw this season. Three had
been the largest previous total
that occurring when the Griffs
won a 3-to-2 game in the night
cap of the double-header on
July 4.
Open warefare again. It's
been characteristic of Griff-YanR
games all season, but somewhat
quiet in recent meetings. II
bobbed up again in the thirc
inning of yesterdays first game
when Lou Gehrig drove in tC
Cronin at second on Chapman'S
grounder to Myer. The two play
ers had words, but quickly avert
ed blows by walking away from
each other.
Later on, however. the two
had more words, Gehrig from
the field and Cronin from the
bench. The crowd, of course
enjoyed this immensely.
Gen. Alvin Crowder had to be
withdrawn from the box in the
fourth when the Yanks got too
frisky with his offerings and
scored run on Crosetti'S single,

Threadbare Philosophy

I do not know that the
changes in schedule proposed
in the early part of this obser-
walton will come to pass. In
deed they may not. But l do
feel, and have felt for some
time, particularly throug h
many of Washington's lean
years, that the plan of baseball
that amused and entertained
the masses 80 - w. years
ago, cannot hold the Twentieth
century fan.
He wants something else,
something more exciting over
the long five-month schedule
than just the same teams
tumbling through town, partlcu-
larly when his town isn't a con-
tender.
The baseball writer's even are
looking for angles to keep the
breath fnew interest in the
game, wherever there is a
chronic loser. All of the old
angles and time-Worn statistics
have been cited over and over
again in an effort to portray
redeeming things about teams
which are goirg nowhere.

TWIN DEFEAT
CUTS WASH.
MARGIN
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

lIneS SthlI
NEW YORK, Aug. Swell,
well, we'll! So reports have been
going the rounds that the
Yankees are dead?
Not yet, fans, not yet. At least
not yet if their play of yesterday
against our Griffmen means any.
thing at all.
Yes, they were fighting, DASH
ing ball team in that double
header against the Griffs yester-
day. And not only from the first
inning of the initial game for the
day, but to the last inning Of the
nightcap. They had to be that
way because the Griffs we're quite
a fighting collection of perform
ers. A record Monday crowd Of
$4,000 saw the twin attractions.
Overcome Five-Run Lead
Take that first game, f'instance.
They were far behind after the
Griffs jumped on Russ Van Alta
for five runs in the second inning.
But did they give up? The Griffs
will tell you they didn't. In fact,
they'll tell you they proved Stub
born foes until the very finish
when a rally in the ninth enabled
them to win a close 6-to-5 game.
In the second contest it was
the same thing. The Griffs got
off to a l to lead as a starter,
saw the Yanks get 3 to l in the
van a little later on, watched
them go ahead, 4 to 3 in the
eighth after Pitcher Charlie Ruff
fling had allowed the Griffs to
tie the score at 3-3 between the
third and sixth innings, then saw
them go out and battle for an
other triumph by virtue of q
ninth-inning rally which gave
the game its final 5 to 4 figure.
Yanks Old Selves Again
Yes sir, fans, the Yanks were
quite an aggressive aggregation
and the Griffs are dwelling
greatly on this thought today.
And what's more the men of Nc
Carthy are right back in the old
race again by virtue of their two
triumphs as now they only trail
the Griffs by one game where
they were a poor second by three
games before.
And, so, dear friends, the moral
Of this story is this: Never take
too much for granted in this
baseball racket. Anything can
happen, such as the Yanks' come
back yesterday. In fact, yester-
days results have given the Nc
Carthymen renewed vigor, and
they'll prove even more difficult
to beat in the remaining games
today and tomorrow
Names Pitchers
With his teams back to the
wall for the nth time since the
opening of the campaign, Cronin
stated today that he planned to
send Earl Whitehill and Professor
Monte Weaver to the mound as
the Griff pitchers in the remain
ing contests, adding:
"And don't forget, we'll be in
there fighting to gain back
those two losses we had to take
yesterday"
And there you have Cronin's
spirit again.

Card Well Handled

The soldiers at Fort Washing
ton know how to stage their
fistic entertainments. There are
no long waits between bouts.
White-gloved enlisted personnel
which has apparently passed in
spection, show the customers to
their seats and there is court
illness about their gathering
which commands admiration.
Yet, the worst seats are the
ring-side pews which afford the
spectators a fine glare off the
flood-lights calculated to induce
the blind staggers. The circus
seats, though uncomfortable,
provide a far better perspective,
and there isn't a one so remote
from the ring that a good view
isn't available.
The new short, hard road is
a boon to WashingtonianS max
ing the pilgrimage. And the
night was quite in contrast to
the tropical Gains of a week
ago.

and got out of a precarious hole
after Kuhels error on j. SeWell's
grounder, by retiring Gehrig on
a pop fly to Myer and Chapman
on hoist to Schultz. Russell
walked Ruth, only a moment be

It was another of those tense
moments in the ninth inning

Goose Goslin was returned tc

by socking out a double to right lr

Lou Gehrig, who has been in q

Yanks went Immediately in the
van by dropping homer into the
right field bleachers with j. SeWel

Luke Sewell and Umpire Sum-
mers had long and windy argu
ment in the Griffs' fourth. Luke
missed a third strike but thought
it was foul. Summers figured the
other way. Catcher Dickey, in the
meanwhile, dropped the ball, but
on hearing Summers decision
rolled the sphere easily TOWARD
the pitchers box.
With an uncertainty prevailing
whether the third strike was
missed cleanly or fouled, Lazzer
grabbed the ball near the pitch

the putout. AS it turned out this
was the way in which Umpire
Summers called the play.
