Taffeta Vogue Spreads to
Hats and Accessories

The flair for taffeta is so insistent
that milliners are creating some of
their choicest hats of it. Nor does
the favor for taffeta stop at that point,
for all sorts of belts, girdles, scarfs, and
even handbags are being fashioned
of it. Among smartest details there

These and other salutationS
might go with the activities of
Manager Cronin's team if more
victories are added such as that
yesterday in which the Cleveland
Indians were defeated, 3 to 2.
And to the shouts of approval
may be added: "Come one, come
all folks, get into step with the
high geared Griffmen," should
they continue in high gear as the
schedule unfolds.
Having had a tough time of it
all season, the Griffs are really
playing ball at present. Needless
to say, they hope to continue in
their stride and believe they will
because they are on their home
lot, and being on home soil helps
plenty, so the old saying goes.
At that, Manager Cronin's boys
have a great opportunity ahead of
them to pick up some swell ground
in this mad pennant race before
they trek to foreign lands again
sometime next month.
White Sox Tomorrow
one contest is left with the
powerful Cleveland Indians in the
current series with this club. To-
morrow the Chicago Sox will ar
rive to open three-game series,
while next Monday the Detroit
Tigers will be in town to take a
few scalps if they possibly can.
And last but not least, the st.
Louis Browns, yep, those peSky
st. Louis Browns, will be present
beginning Thursday, May 25, for
a three game series, which the
Griffs hope will be short and
sweet as far as local victories are
concerned.
During the next 10 days the
Griffs have chance to really &C.
compliSh things in the torrid race
now in progress by winning few
of these important ball games.
True, they won't grab that first
berth if the Yanks continue to
triumph, but it's a well-known
fact they can keep the Cleveland
Indians and Chicago White Sox,
the two Western contenders, in
the background by scoring in

DRILL HARD

The Maryland University Ia
crossemen have added extra ZeSt
to their practice drills this week
because the Old Liners are to
tackle their dearest rivals, Johns
Hopkins, in Baltimore Saturday.
Upward of 10000 fans are eX-
pected to attend the annual con-
test.
Coach Jack Faber's Maryland
ers are undefeated this year.
Also, Johns Hopkins and a ma
tional collegiate lacrosse cham
pionship may hang in the bal
ance.
The only college sports attrac-
tion here today is tennis match
between Washington and Jeffer-
son and Georgetown on the Hill
top courts.
The Mt. st. Mary's-Georgetown
baseball, scheduled yesterday
afternoon, was called off because
the Hilltop field was unplayable.
The Mountaineers, however, en-
gagged George Washington in a
night game in the Clark Griffith
Stadium and the Colonials fin
lshed on top, II to 10.
The ColonialS were trailing,
80, until the fifth when they
showed across two tallies. They
gradually whitfield the invaders
lead and nabbed the victory with
a 3-run splurge in the ninth. A
single by Baer, sending Madden
and Albert over the counting
block, was the decisive blow.

Statistics Tell

Out of 13 games played in
three Eastern teams, Washing
ton has won 10 and lost 6.
That is certainly sufficient
margin to satisfy the most
Skeptical.
Out of II games played in
the West, Washington had a
8-to-5 margin and it's regu-
lar lineup was somewhat shat
tered almost throughout the
trip.
So the first test of strength,
East and West, indicates there
is much to be hoped for
locally in a baseball way. the
GriffS being in what is called
an advantageous spot right
now facing over a two-weeks
campaign with the opposition
right in it's own back yard.
Therefore, in answering our
queStioner, we felt we had
known facts by which to gauge
a reply, rather than theories
or paper strength with which
the preseason and early
season dope is breWed. It's
a great relief to your average
So-called expert to have figures
with which to deal, rather than
ideas, formulae lunches or be-
liefs.

the games they'll play with them
during this period, if they win
over none of the others, such as
the Tigers and Browns.
Right now, as said q few mo-
ments before, Manager Cronin's
boys are playing just the sort OF
ball to keep all of the teams at
bay. Whether they can keep up
the pace remains to be seen, but
it's a certainty they hold quite
an advantage because OF being on
home soil where everything is
familiar and their supporters are
with them to the letter.
Sure, the Yanks
There have been many stories
going the rounds lately that the
Yankees are slipping. The Nc
Carthymen may not be as pow
erful as they once were, but the
fact remains they still must De
rated a dangerous CONTENDER ana
one that'll fight to the very end
before being pushed out OF the
running.
The Griffs may have the
chance to do this very thing
when they meet the Yanks again,
and naturally it is hoped that
they will get the pleasure, par
ticularly if they can go into first
place to stay by that time, never
to be headed again as the season
goes along.
So prevails the situation as the
Griffs line up today, tomorrow
and every day from now until
May 80, when the New York
Yankees will be met again. Will
Manager Cronin's boys be the
team that is hoped? Will a con-
tending position still be theirs
by that time, maybe first place?
This current home stand will
help to put some light on the
subject and it promises to be a
very interesting tumble of days.

Connolly Crashes Again

For weeks he lay i'll at local

the latter place he told of an
incident at the hospital.
1t was long past the curfew

which visitors are not allowed
to call on even the private pa

commotion in the corridor out
side his door.
At first it started in low whis-

until Tom thought that per-

Since returning home from the
West recently, these same said
hurlers have had their prayers
and hopes answered, as the
weather, while not as warm as it
will get later on, has been all
that could be asked. The result?
Gen. Alvin Crowder, as pitcher
Number One, has benefited to the
extent of having won his last two
games, both coming in row,
counting his relief shift Tuesday
against the Indians, and his full
nine-inning assignment against the
same opposition yesterday.
Continuation of the warm
weather will, no doubt, bring out
the best in the remainder of
pitchers on the Griff staff. 1t
is hoped so as every man can
hurl with the best of them when
conditions are right and there is
no fear of hurting an arm be-
cause of the cold atmosphere.
Picture of Old Self
Crowder, yesterday, was a pic
ture of his old self against those
Indians. Although it might not
be believed by those many from
Missouri" the weather was a dis
tinct aid as the General cut loose
when he had to and outpitched
Wesley Ferrell, of the opposition,
from the first inning to the last.
The score of the game was 3 to 2.
The Indians collected eight hits
off the Griff veteran but only in
two innings were they able to
bunch them for runs. In the
fourth, Averill's double, Morgan's
long fly, and Vosmik's single to
deep short. scored a run, while in
the seventh Vosmik's single, Knick-
erbocker's single and Myatt's fly
to Goslin, counted another-the
last of the day for the Tribe.
The Griffs, in the meanwhile.
made merry off the shoots of
Wesley Ferrell in the first and
sixth frames. In the first, Cos
Inns triple and Cronin's double
gathered a marker, while in the
sixth, Cronin's second double, and
singles by Travis and Sewell
scored two more-enough to win
the ball game as things finally
turned out.
It was elegant to watch Crowder
out there yesterday. His curve
worked excellently while his abil-
ity to bear down when those oc-
casions arose were truly char
acteristic of what he has done
many times in the past when
pitching one of those strong games
Of his.
Victory Number Six
The veteran added victory No.
6 to his record for the season
by triumphing. This gives one
the idea that he's on the way
to another impressive record
such as was his fortune last
year when he hung up 26
triumphs as against 13 losses.
May the weather continue to
stay warm to help him along
If 1t is this that really is an
aid.
Lest it be forgotten, the
Griffs continued to get their
hits yesterday despite the fact
that Wesley Terrell, a supposed
enigma, was on the mound. True,
they did not bunch them for a
large total Of runs, but they

Manager Joe Cronin was the
actual leader with four bingles
in as many trips to the pan.
Cecil Travis collected two while
