game to cause me to believe
many are not clear on the
points at question.
In the sixth inning, Sewell,
who had forced Bluege, stole
second, as Catcher Ferrell
threw perfectly to the bag,
neither Hodapp nor Warstler
being anywhere near the bag
to make the putout. The rule
book says:
"In case a base runner ad-
vance a base through the fail
ure of a baSeman to stop or
try to stop a ball accurately
thrown to his base, the latter
shall be charged with the error,
not the player who made such
a throw, provided there was
occasion for it. If such a throw
he made to second base, the
scorer shall determine whether
the second baseman or short
stop shall be charged with an
error"
The Washington official
scorer yesterday decided it
was Hodapp's error of omis-
sion in not getting over to the
bag on SeWell's steal, the lat
ter trotting on to third.

At Chicago

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Finals in

eights will be decided today in the

Judge Looked sheepish

Did any Of you patrons
yesterday spot Joe Judge over
on the Red Sox bench? Didn't
you think he looked a little bit
sheepish dressed in a regalia
foreign to the one in which we
have all seen him for II
years?
Washington was knocking at
the door of victory all afternoon,
as the men left on bases, 13,
indicates. Proving that those
Boston Red Sox are nobody's
pushovers and are headed for
the first division sure as
shootin'.
Eddie Collins and Marty Nc
Manus have put those Red Hose
on their toes and taught them
some real smart baseball. On
only one occasion did they show
any dullness yesterday, that
being when first base was left
uncovered on Myers slow drag
toward that station.
And you couldn't call that 16
to 3 defeat the Athletics nailed
on the Yankees any sort of a
fluke. What beating, what a
socking! The Yanks didn't even
approach that kind of a victory
when they set us down 13 to 9.
And we had one of those
three-pitched balls innings out
at our yard yesterday when the
Bean Eaters were up in the
ninth. The first two pitches
were both flies to Harris and
the third a loft to Schultz.

Temporary Status

Many of the old members
seem to be disturbed as to
their status. While the club
has formally turned the prop
erty back to Moore, and mem
berships as such are lost, pend
ing a reorganization, Moore has
sent a letter to all members
stating that temporarily full
privileges will be retained on a
basis of So per week for male
and 81 a week for female men,
bers, until a system of fixed
charges is evolved Green fees
remain as before, 81, except
Saturdays and Sundays. $1.50.
George Diffenbaugh remains as
club professional.
No drive for members is con-
templated. While under the
old arrangement, there were
400. Moore plans to go back
to the original idea when he
first formed the club of only
300, with a select clientele.

UNLESS YOU'RE Az EPERT WRESTLER DON'T TRY This Stun AL
OUTF|ELDER
PROVING BIG
AID To TEAM
BY GARRETT WATERS

by OAnnE L WAAEnS
Dave Harris probably holds
down the most unique position
in baseball.
He's a batting fool, a fair
fielder, and not the worst base
ball dependable in the world,
generally speaking, but through
out his major league career,
he's never been able to win him.
sci a regular berth with the
team employing his services.
The most important reason
is the fact that Dave always
has been signed just after the
team in question has assembled a
regular outfield combination to
answer the call day in and day
out during the yearly schedule.
And Dave, as fate would have
it, is merely kept to fill in here
and there when one Of the sup
posed regulars hurts himself or
is relieved for a couple of days
for a short rest.
Need Right Handler
The Washington club had just
gotten together a regular out
field trio when Dave was cor
rallied in trade for Red Barnes
several years ago. The deal,
which happened to be with the
Chicago White Sox, was merely
one where the two clubs eX-
changed utility outfielders, and
in Dawes case it was just a
matter of getting a right-handed
hitting utility man for the left
handed hitting Barnes.
Such has been Dawes duties
ever since becoming Griffman.
Maybe more so than with the
White Sox, as with that team the
big slugger was played more often
and was thought more Of as a
regular, than at any other time
in his big league career.
But since being a Griff per-
former, Harris has done an ex-
cellent job of jumping into the
game every once in awhile to re-
lieve an injured or faltering mate:
And the manner in which he has
delivered has made him quite a
valuable cog to the team even
though he's never quite been able
to win himself a regular job in
the Washington outfield.
Dave Hitting Ball
Now, to get to the present.
Dave has been used in the emer-
gency several times by the
pennant-driving Griffmen of late.
He has been substituted for Goose
Goslin several times, while yes
terday, as his latest case, he was
in the game because Manager Joe
Cronin deemed it best to give the
tiring Heine Manush day Of
rest.
Monday when he played against
the New Workers. Harris Socked
out two tremendous home runs to
put the Griffs in a game which
would have been terribly one
sided had not his clouts made
their presence, while yesterday,
against the Boston Red Sox in
the opener of the series with that
team, he smashed out another
homer-and this time when it
put the Griffs right into the old
ball game.
This hit tied the score at / to
1, as the Red Sox had taken the
lead an inning or so earlier-and
the clout put just the pep into
the Griffmen to go out and
finally nose out the McManus
team, 2 to /, in the ninth.

Road Walls Built.

walls on each side to the height to
which they desired to bring the

These walls were built of large.

Into the space between the walls

them two or three feet in length
and weighing many hundreds of
pounds, were carefully laid and the

position.
Other courses followed, each of
successfully smaller 5Oulders and
stones. quite as carefully placed, un-
til the road had been brought to
requisite height, whereupon layer
of rocks broken into much finer
pieces was added. After this was
hammered or rolled into a hard,

"Then you heard the conversation
between them?"
"Yes, we stayed right beside the
young man when he talked" Mrs.
Bellows admitted. "In fact, Joe and
| had to help him tell this Fletcher
woman exactly where the house
was and how she could reach it. Aft
er that, he hung up"
What is the distance from Glad
wyne to your home, Mrs. Bellows|
Rankin asked.
1T isn't very far. 1t only takes
twenty minutes either by way of the
Spring Mill road or along the Mont
gomery pike"
These facts were precisely what
Rankin had deducted and expected
to ascertain. Since Jordan and
Mrs. Fletcher could not have met
before the hazing. they must have
communicated with each other aft
erward; that was the only means
by which their rendezvous on Mon
day night, to which Mrs. Fletcher's
letter referred, could have been
managed. Manifestly, she had pro-
posed it at the dance, because of
her husbands absence on Monday.
When informed that the fraternity
spree made it impossible, she ques-
toned Paul Whitaker to learn what
was in store for the PLEDGES. For
of that, Stuart himself was ig-
norant. And on succeeding. she
had arranged to rescue him from
his predicament as soon as he could
