A copy Of the Thomas letter is

cradle pay, forced on the working
girls employed by his wife.

Owens 'Boner' :
On Foul Ires
Griffs ans
An outrage! The ball was foul

An outrage! The ball was foul
by at least 10 feet!
These, among other words of
violence, are being directed at
Umpire Brick Owens for his de
cision on Lou Gehrig's home run
drive over the right field wall in
yesterdays Griff-Yankee battle
which he called, "fair ball!"
An outrage, all right, but it seems
Mr.. Owens has been committing
these outrages on the Griffs and
other teams in the circuit for
many, many years of the recent
past.
The Griffs recall a most vivid
instance in the days when they
were champions of the American
League.
This particular incident oc-
Cured during the world series of
1925-the final game, to be exact.
which the Griffs lost to the Pitts.
burgh Pirates, with Walter John
son on the mound.
Owens was the third base UNI.
pire that day and Max Carey,
then the star center fielder for
the Pirates, lifted a Texas league
fly to left field which dropped
near the foul line.
According to all who saw it the
ball droped foul, but Owens, after
the excitement of the play had
subsided, declined to pass any
judgment on the hit, leaving it up
to the umpire behind the plate,
who called the ball fair because
from where he stood it looked as
if it had dropped into fair terri
tory.
The result of Owens actions on
this play cost the Griffs the world
series, as the Pirates won the
game by virtue of a batting rally
that began on this very play.
"Well sir, what, we ask, is Mr..
Owens going to pull next? Yes.
terday's decision was a boner and
will in all probability 90 down as

history of baseball

KIN c VULTURE
WINS HUNTER
TROPHY
By HARRY COSTELLO

King Vulture is the king OF
hunters.
The Dilwyne Farms star won
the title yesterday in the Devon
(PaO Horse Show. Mrs. John
Hay Whitney's consistent winner,
The Grey Knight, was given re-
serve.
King Vulture won both the
Charles T. Fisher and the Edward
F. Beale challenge trophies in
topping all other hunters entered
in the show classic of the East.
A crowd of $4,000 watched the
keen struggle between King Vul-
ture and The Grey Knight Tor
top honors.
Mrs. Whitney rode The Grey
Knight in the Fisher challenge
trophy class, over the outside
course, a bit more difficult than
outside couses generally are. En-
try and exhibitor showed to ad'
vantage, and left King Vulture
and his rider. Freddie Pinch
something to shoot at. The King
and his pilot gave a performance
even better than did The Grey
Knight and Mrs. Whitney.
Conformation Perfect
Conformation, which counted
25 per cent, was perfect on both
King Vulture and The Grey
knight, consequently the former
took the trophy.
One of the surprises OF the final
day of the show came when Mrs
Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitneys
chestnut gelding, Red Lad, took
the Nancy Pansy Memorial tro-
ply presented by Mr.. and Mrs.
william DUPONT for the ladies'
hunter class.
Dilwyne Farms also scored a
brilliant triumph in the Glen Rid
die Challenge Cup class, for teams
of three hunters. Retreat, Rev
ellie and King V,-'ture G, med per-
manent possession of the trophy
by winning over Mrs. Bernard
Gimbels entry. incidentally, Mrs.
Gimbel and her two daughters,
Caral and Hope, rode the Glmbel
trio in this contention.
Captain Lawton Third
Mrs. Ellsworth Augustus Cap
tain Lawton finished third to King
Vulture and The Grey Knight in
the Fisher trophy class, and Sun
nybrook Farms Playma n was
fourth.
The best Mrs. John Hay Whit
ney's Bon Diable could do in
the ladies' hunter class, won by
Red Lad, was to take the white
ribbon. Mrs. GimbeTs His Ele-
gance took the red, and Miss
Charlotte Ives Montgomery S
Spring Bank took the yellow.
Westmoreland Lad, for which
Mrs. Simon T. Patterson is agent,
won The championship touch-and,
out class, scoring a neat victory
over Mrs. A. c. Thompson's Rollo
Reed. Both went clean on the
first journey around the course,
but Rolla Reed did not do so
we'll on his second try.
A number of exhibitors at
Devon are expected to pay a
visit to the Loudoun Hunt Horse
Show, Saturday, at Leesburg, aV.

It's Human to Err

In the case of yesterdays
controversy a far more i'm
portant thing than the winning
of a ball game is at stake.
Public confidence in the game
is the thing to be considered.
Intelligent people are not go
ing to patronize any organized
business which permits day.
light robbery.
And incidentally, the only
fault we have to find with
the actions of the Washington
police yesterday who undoubted-
ly averted another demonstra-
ton such as occurred April 25,
is that when the fans had sub
sided, they didn't walk over be-
hind the catcher and do their
duty.
We are afraid that President
Clark Griffith and Manager
Cronin will not get far in their
protests to the league president,
as league presidents just simply
never fail to uphold their UNI
pires, whether the latter be
right or wrong.

CUP TEAM.
GETSO. K.

NEW YORK, May 31.-The
hope of Frank Shields, New York,
and Lester Stoefen. Los Angeles,
of competing in the Davis Cup
matches in Europe this summer
depended upon four big words to,
day.
"Unless something unforeseen
happens" the United States Lawn
Tennis Association announced,
the American team of Ellsworth
Vines, jr., Wilmer Allison, John
Van Ryn and George M. Lott, jr.,
which played against Canada and
the Argentine, will represent this
country in Paris on July 81, %
and %.
Shields and stoefen are to play
at Wimbledon. If their play
there is sensational, or if one of
the chosen quartet goes off his
game, the tall New Yorker or the
giant Californian may be picked
for the interzone Davis Cup final.
Stoefen. who sails Friday, lost to
Wilmer Allison, 6-3, 1911, 1-6,
6-3, in the Orange IN. j. tennis
finals yesterday.
Vines and Keith Gledhil1, his
national championship doubles
partner, will sail for England on
June 10 as Americas official rep
resentatives in the singles and
doubles play. The balance of the
team will leave three weeks later,
with the entire team assembling
in Paris for practice about July 6.
William T. (Big BilD Tilden,
I'd, former worlds champion, has
offered to go to Paris at his own
expense and coach the squad.

Yesterday, it happened to be a
battle with umpires with Arbiter
Brick Owens being the man in
the middle" so to speak.
Owens in the Middle
But aside from this the Yanks
were found to be on the long end
of a to 2 score at the end of a
rainy-day holiday game. The vic
tory marked only the second Yank
success over the Griffs this sea-
son, but it proved to be decivise
as the Griffs are three full games
behind their Gotham rivals to-
day for that first place position
where only two games was the
margin before the dust Of battle
yesterday.
Russell Van Alta, stocky left
handler, scored the Yankee sue
cess from a pitching standpoint
out there yesterday. He out
lasted Earl Whitehill, equally as
left-handed for the Griffs and
grabbed his second successive tri-
umph over the Cronin team as a
result.
Van Alta granted nine hits, but
kept them pretty we'll scattered
with the exceptions of the fourth
and eighth innings when the
Griffs scored their only two mark
ers of the game. In the fourth
ManuSh'S single and Cronin'S
triple counted a run, while in the
eighth Cronin's single (his second
hit in the pinch) sent across
Kuhel, who had opened the round
with a one baser to center.
Combs Stars
Whitehill gave up eight bingles
to the Yankees. One of these
was that tainted homer Lou
Gehrig knocked over the right
field fence which everybody VOWS
was foul. Two others were base
hits off of Earl Combs bat, both
of which figured in the scoring.
One was triple in the first
inning while the other was a
single in the ninth-a single
which proved to be the deciding
factor as events turned out.
A double-header today was due
to end the Griff -Yank activities
for the time being. No doubt
another pair Of battles will result
in keeping with every game the
two teams have played against
each other this year.
Getting back to yesterdays
game, the last few innings were
truly exciting. The teams went
into the eighth deadlocked at IL
when Gehrig lifted his question
able homer over the right field
wall.

That Public Confidence

But in view of the evidence,
we must take exception to the
newest inaccuracy at the ball
park. If Gehrig's foul had been
even close to the white mark,
we would gladly waive any crit
icism of Mr.. Owens, who after
all is only human and of a ne
cessity sometimes errs.
But Louis blow in the eighth
was so much outside of the
right field foul line that Mr..
Owens decision appeared ridic-
ulous. In view of this he could
have consulted with Van Graf
Ian and very gracefully reversed
his decision and thereby saved
himself, his fellows behind the
chest protector and President
William Harridge a lot of head
aches.
It is indeed mark Of a great
man to admit mistakes, but the
number of times an umpire ad-
mits pulling one can be counted
on the small toe of either foot.
