Long-Distance Call

"Turn off the radio" some
body admOnished, just as you
have done at your home and I
have done in mine many times
when the phone tingIes.
The voice at the far end in
quired if Walter johnson was
in. He was in-all in, what
with the prospect Of no baseball
work at least until another
spring.
It was Billy Evans talking.
Billy Evans, of Cleveland, gen.
eral, manager of the Indians,
and he was speaking from a
board meeting of the clubs di-
rectorate which had decided
that Roger Peckinpaugh must
go and that the job was John.
sons if he wanted it.
But Johnson did not have to
decide in that brief long-diStance
conversation, if he wanted the
job. Of course he wanted it.
What idle baseball man
wouldn't? However, Johnson
had a much more difficult de-
cision to make.
Would he be ousting his life
long friend and former team
mate, Roger Peckinpaugh?

What grade baseball is being

They are playing brand that

WESTERN wins 8
RIFLE CROWN

The national junior biweekly
rifle matches conducted by the
National Rifle Association have
been concluded for the year with
the riflemen of Western High
School far outdistancing the other
80 school contenders of the coun-
try by capturing five first-place
trophies, a second-place trophy
and two special trophies for high
aggregate scores.
Western captured the first-place
trophies in the first and second
series in both the prone-standing
division and the prone division,
and also the winners trophy in
the third series in the prone
standing class. Porterville (Cal0
High School took first honors
from Western in the prone class
in the last series.
For all three series, Western
turned in the highest scores in
both divisions which won for it
two special high aggregate tro-
phies. It's total in the prone,stand-
ing class was 1470 points and in
the prone class, 4141. The decis-
iVenesS of Westerns victories is
shown by the fact that the former
score was 900 points better than
its closest opponent, High School
of Commerce, of New York, and
its prone total bettered by $40
points the total of Porterville
High, which gave the local shots
their closest race for high aggre-
gate.
The matches were conducted
on the postal plan. the competing
teams firing one match every two
weeks on their own ranges in the
presence of accredited witnesses.
The Washington times., 1933-06-16

OF course no games have been
played yet against the western
clubs and a true idea can't be
given whether the two depart
mentS will shape up as well as
expected, but recent records give
indication that they will and that
winning stride will be hit in
the games not only with the St.
Louis Browns, but the Chicago
White Sox, Cleveland Indians and
Detroit Tigers as well. At least
it's hoped for anyway.
Take the hitting Of the team
in its recent games, exhibitions
included. All the "big boys in
the lineup have Socked impress
sively. while such men as Bluege,
Sewell. Kuhel and Myer have
held up their end when hitting
has been needed for runs.
Goose Pops Team
The work of Goose Goslin, of
the "big" group, has been eSpe-
cially bright of late; in fact, it
has the whole team talking. The
entire membership has been wait
ing for the Wild Goose to start
all year and now that he has
apparently gotten into stride, the
general idea is that victories upon
victories will be registered as the
future arrives.
The Griffs are a jubilant lot
today and for good reason.
Yesterday, while they faced the
Indianapolis Indians in an exhibit
ton game, the report came over
the wire that the Boston Red Sox
had defeated the New York
Yankees for the fourth straight
time.

FALL FROM RING
SAVES SLONDOS

A fall from the ring after
George Zaharias seemingly had
Jim Londos on the way to a
wrestling defeat enabled the
Greek claimant of the world
heavyweight crown to be returned
victor over his foe after one hour
and eight minutes of fast grap-
ping before 5000 spectators at
the Griffith Stadium last night.
The washington School Children
Food Fund benefited $756.54 as
the result Of the match, part Of
the proceeds being turned over
to this worthy cause.
Prior to his exit from the ring,
Londos dazed the husky Colorado
youth with two wicked body
slams. Then Zaharias turned lion,
cut down his Greek adversary
with a body slam and tried a
flying tackle.
Londos, wise to these flying
tackles, crouched low and the
speeding form of zaharias passed
by harmlessly. Out of the ropes
and onto the hard turf fell Ia
harias with a thud that sounded
like an earthquake.
Zaharias managed to grope his
way to the arena and instructive
ly climbed back through the ropes
only to prove an easy target for
Londos, who ended the match
with body slam.
Ernie DuSek kayoed Frank
Speers in 81 minutes of the Sec
ondary feature, Speers falling out
side the ring and unable to con-
tinue. Paul Jones and George
KotsonaroS wrangled to a 30
minute draw. Abe Coleman put
away Andy Brown with his kan
garoo kick in 10 minutes, and
Pat O'Shocker threw Dick Raines
in 25 minutes with a body slam.

and Duncan McNaughton to pro-
vide some points in the high jump,
Hueston Harper to be somewhere
in the shot put and Capt. Jeddy
Walsh and Bob Lyon to do or die
in the hurdles.
Charlie Hornbostel, 1ndiana's
mile and half miller, will be good
in these events, but perhaps not
good enough.
OddS-on Choice
Ray Sears is an odds-on choice
in the mile and Glenn Cunning
ham is something of favorite in
the half mile in the event that
Eastman does not participate.
The two-miler seems to be
something of a speciality for Joe
McCluSkey, of Fordham, and in
the hurdles they'll have to cOnCede
something to Jack Keller, of Ohio
State, and Glenn Hardin, of Lou
isiana State. They even say that
Hardin can win the 440, having
done it if 46 seconds.

The team was to idle in st.

as each game from now on will
mean plenty when thoughts of
a possible first place are conSid-

and being able to apparently do
nothing about it, try as hard
as they might.

at Indianapolis, the Griffs Socked

inning and single markers in
