smashing offensive to duplicate
the feat of that other "boy man.
oger" of the Washington senators,
Bnckv Harris, who nosed out the
New York Yankees for the Amer,
can league pennant in 1874 ana
vent on to win the world series
from the New York giants.
With the Yankees appearing as
Washington's strongest opponent
in the American circuit, and Win
the Giants leading the National
league the stage is being set ior
Cronin, virtually the same as LOT
Harris nine years ago.
Last October, Cronin succeeded
the famous Walter johnson as
manager of the Senators, the ap-
pointment coming just before his
26th birthday. During four years
with the Washington club, the
San Francisco youth developed in
to one of the most brilliant snort
stops in the majors.
And the responsibilities as
manager since then, instead OF IN
terferring with his play ON the
field. seem to have stimulated Joe
to bigger and better achievements.
Last wear he hit 1921, but this sea-
son his big bat is blasting away at
1868 clip, ranking him third
batsman in the circuit, behind
Jimmy Foxx and AL Simmons.
His pep and aggressiveness have
radiated to the club, which sud-
denly developed a brand new
"Murderors Row" and at the half
way mark is turning the brilliant
club batting average of .306, con-
iderable Improvement over its .2S4
of 1892. This 1906 can be best ap-
preciated by realizing that it is
only 10 points less than the Amer.
can league club batting record OF
.316, established by Detroit in
1921. Last year the smuggling YAM
KEGS won the pennant with an av-
erage of .286 at bat. incidentally,
the Yanks are hitting better this
year than last, having a mark OF
.2ss. Washington also is playing
we'll in the field, having the sec
ond best percentage of .976, and
the club is getting good pitching.
The new "Murderors' Row" is
responsible largely for this excel
lent batting average. Six regulars
are hitting over 800. They are
Cronin, Manush, Schultz, Goslin,
Bluege and Kuhel. In addition two
utility men, Boken and Harris,
are above the 800 mark. These
fellows have stolen the thunder
from Joe McCarthy's New York
Sluggers.
Up to Sunday, the Senator'S
were leading the American Pen
nant race by a four and a half
game margin over the second-place
Yanks. The Senators appeared to

Defeat Ends Long Winning

NEW YORK, July 11.-(UP).
Cleveland snapped the Wash
.ington Senator'S winning streak at
seven straight yesterday by beat
ing the American league leaders,
8 to 2, in II innings.
This defeat, coming simultan-
eously with New York's victory
over Detroit, pared the Senators
lead down a full game and left
them just three games ahead of
the second-place Yanks. 1t gave
Cleveland one win in the four
game series. ,
The Indians won when Earl
Averill trippled in the 18th, scor-
ing Willie Kamm. who had singled.
The Indians collected eight hits
off Stewart, McAfee and Russell,
two less than the Senators made
off Melharder, who went the route
for Cleveland. Odel Hale drove
out a Cleveland homer in the Sec
ond.
The revived Yankees took their
third straight game from Detroit,
10 to 6, giving them the series
three games to two. The Yanks
came from behind with a sensa-
tional nine-run rally in the eighth
as the result of two Detroit err
rors, two walks and five hits, in
Guiding Tony Lazzeri's Homer
with two aboard. Fischer and Hog
sett allowed the Yanks 9 hits, the
Tigers made IL off Brown and
Moore.
The third-place Philadelphia
Athletics split a twin bill with
Chicago, the Athletics winning the
opener, 8 to 2, when Ed Coleman
drove out four Dagger in the
18th. Lefty Grove went the route
for the AS yielding IL hits, two
more than Philadelphia made off
Jones and Lyons. In the nightcap,
Milton CASTOR let the AS down

Case Cuttings
By E. H. CASE

Bruce Banks, tall athletic
Highlander whose sensational
pitching won the first half for
Fletcher in the county league,
nroved again Saturday that he IS
the best amateur pitcher in the
county. After losing two nights
sleep on a trip he stepped lnCo
the box Saturday and let the
heavy hitting Mills River team
down with two hits and no runs.
And besides being able to throw
the old agate by batters BanHs
can both field and hit. with ms
long arms he reached out and
scoopes up difficult grounders
and bunts with apparent ease. In
the All-Star E. Flat Rock contest
he got two scorching singles out
of three trips to the plate.
Other stars on the Fletcher
team are N. Bagwell and Ed
Ward. Bagwell at shortstop and
Ward at third base take care OF
the left half of the infield in bril-
liant style. -, A.
East Flat Rock looked like the
classiest team in the league in
beating the All-stars on the 4th
of July. But Valley Hill made
them look like beginners in the
first inning of Saturdays con-
test. Anything can happen in
baseball.
Boylston has hitting power
enough to beat any team in the
league. Their three stars are
Gibson, Taylor and Stewart.

their contests. II was again the
spectacular pitching Of Bruce
Banks, brilliant moundsman who
has set the league afire all sea-
son, who beat Mills River and
won the first half for Fletcher.
He let the Mills River sluggers
down with two hits and struck
out IL men. His teammates gave
him sterling support and assault
ed two Mills River moundsmen,
Stevens and Corpening, for 10
hits.
The Boylston nine, not conced-
ed a chance with the strong and
experienced Fruitland club, total
" ignored expert dope, critical
opinion, tradition, ETC., and step
ped out and walloped Fruitland
10 to 9. The game was hard
fought and punctuated with long
hits and brilliant plays. Gibson,
a big fellow from the Pisgah
camp and star ball player, pitch
ed the game for Boylston and
also did some nice hitting. He
collected q three Dagger and two
singles. Taylor Of Boylston, got
two three baggers and a single.
L. Pittillo and Briggs pitched for
Fruitland.
In another upset Valley Hill
trounced East Flat Rock on the
Laurel Park diamond 10 to 8.
The Killers jumped on the Of
ferings of ]. Roper, Flat Rock
starting pitcher, and showed five
runs across the platter in the
first inning on five hits and a

ming they collected two more runs
and J. Jackson went to the
mound for East Flat Rock. Jack
son checked the Killers and held
them throughout the remainder
of the game, except in the fifth
when he gave up two runs on two
hits, a walk and an error. On
the other hand E. Case, writer Of
this column, working on the slab
for Valley Hill, succeeded in hold
ing East Flat Rock in check ex-
cept in the seventh when with
two men out and two on base B.

one out Of the park. E. Case
struck out nine men and Jackson
eight. d. eagle, n. Patterson and

terrified and ]. Case made q great
stop Of q hard smash at third
base.
In the third upset of the day
Balfour, with B. Crisp on the
mound, downed the hard,f fast and
tough Green River team by a
score of to 4. As the scores
indicate, the game was close and
hard fought. The high spots of
the contest were the pitching of
B. Crisp and B. Thompson. Crisp
allowed only seven hits and
Thompson was touched for six.
But one of the hits given up by
Thompson was a homer by B.
Taylor with a man on base. The
game was Crisp's second win in
two tries on the mound. The
game was played at Balfour.

'34 Tags Same Color

The 1884 automobile tags will
remain the same color, but will
be reversed, the yellow forming
the background.
When the rush starts for the
new plates, motorists once more
will demand particular numbers.
William Van Duzer, Traffic
Director, recalls that police
men often want tag numbers
to correspond to badge mum.
bers, others want the same
figures on their cars as their
street addresses, telephone
numbers and the like.
On one occasion an irate
woman refused to leave the tag
window until she obtained a Ger
tain number. But it had been
given out. She stormed, cried
and abused. Behind her a
long line Of motorists awaited
their license plates.
She demanded that the per.
son who had been given the
tag be forced to return it to
her. She must have it!
Clerks argued, reasoned, ca
joled. Finally she admitted
why she wanted the particular
number.
It corresponded with the tag
on her pet PekineSe!

PACIFIC QUAKE
NOTED HERE

A terrific earthquake, appar-
emily $500 miles from Washing
ton, was recorded last night on
the seismograph of Georgetown
University.
The quake started at 5:33
yesterday afternoon, according
to Father F. w. Sohon, director
Of the university's chronological
observatory, and the maximum
was reached at GIT.
The quake lasted for almost
four hours, the needle on the
seiSmograph continuing to record
it until $3.50 p. m.
Until further information is re-
ceived from other observatories,
the exact location of the quake
cannot be determined. Father
Sohon believes, however, it CEN
tered some place south of Japan.
The Fordham University seis-
mograph also recorded the quake.
At that observatory it was esti-
mated at about 5000 miles away
and to the north of the Philip
pine Islands.

Around
The
Capital
BY JOHN sNURE. JR..

In 1907, at the first National
Capital Horse Show, Mrs. Allen
Potts reined her horses into the
ring.
Riding side7saddle and wear
ing a quiet black habit she put
her animals through their gaitS
before the judges.
When Mrs. Potts first
Showed at the National Capt.
tai she had won her fame as a
horsewoman throughout Vir-
ginia and in nearby States
where men and women rode,
hunted, raced and exhibited
horses.
In all the years she refused to
change her style of riding and
when younger women swung
aStride their horses she stood
out among her sex because OF
her ability to negotiate the
hardest jumps, the worst haz-
ards and the ring mounted side
saddle.
She broke her own colts,
Schooled her horses and made
her own hunters.
Today, we'll over three score
years ago, she turns to a quieter
task. She failed to ride or bring
her horses to the last show. On
a quiet Virginia farm she breeds
q thoroughbred racing stock
that will crowd the rails to win
the purses of a generation to
come.

MARYLAND RUM
RATED HIGHLY

BALTIMORE, Aug. 29.-Mary-
land whisky was given a higher
rating for flavor than the Ken.
lucky varieties by Samuel C. Mil
Ter, of Louisville, whose company
will invest about 100000 here in
a distillery.
Discussing the "fine old Bour-
bons" of Kentucky, Miller asserted
this was the product of a careful
mixture of the Maryland and Ken
lucky s.oirits. He said:
1--WE have to have blended
whiskies, and Maryland is the
place to come to get whiskies
for that purpose.
"The straight whiskies of Ken
lucky are too strong, but when
they are blended it makes them
about 80 proof. 1t makes more
