DR.. Kramer, however, who was

At this point, DR.. Kramer, who

Three of the five principals

DR.. Elmer S. Newton, prin-

it might be a good idea to play

the practice.
DR.. Harvey A. Smith, principal

Charles Hart, of Eastern, ex-

worst team in the league this
year for crying for breaks.
Washington Incident
The big item which began the
"feud" between MCGOWAN and
Cronin yesterday dates back to an
incident in Washington recently.
The Griffs received another tough
break in a game there with Um-
pire MCGOWAN behind the bat.
Immediately after that particu-
lar game, MCGOWAN was alleged
to have said he was going to make
it even tougher for the GriffS out
West if they didn't stop war.
whooping for breaks.
Yesterday, apparently, happened
to be McGowan'S chance to "get
even." For he not only gave the
Griffs another tough break Gas
the Griffs saw it,, but became so
exaSperated in the ninth inning,
he waved Cronin out of the game.
The Griffs have been getting
bad breaks all around this season,
but the big thing they can thank
their stars for today is the fact
MCGOWAN didn't fine or suspend
Cronin. The latter would have
been a decided blow to the team as
the boys are not quite the same
with the peppery young leader out
OF the lineup.

which Bianco was able to with
stand by covering and going into
interminable clinches which gave
him breath and strength to re-
main on his feet.
But in the aggregate no great
damage was done to either
fighter, albeit Remus had what
edge there was, If that is any
consolation either to him or the
good ship Tennessee under whose
colors he fought.
Walsh Takes Tony
Jimmy Walsh (152), in con
trast to his co-gob Of the main
bout, was responsible for a
stirring semifinal that saw him
a leader from the first round
through the sixth against the
Cuban Rhumba, Tony Domin'
guez 153). The latter might
have made the fight less one
sided, had he not persisted in
bad tactics in the second and
fourth rounds which caused
Referee Howard Livingston to
order the judges to award those
rounds to Walsh.
Tony was strong in the first
four rounds and extended
Walsh to his limit, but tapered
off from then on to run q poor
second. Walsh'S left hook
found the Cuban's jaw and
stomach at will and in the end
Tony was a badly beaten man.
Besides Walsh and Remus, OF
the Tennessee, Petite Eckstein
(l461a) also fought under that
cruisers banner, being the only
sailor of the three to take the
short end Of a deal. Petite sue
cumbed to Jimmy Jones (14S)
in a six-rounder special prelimi'
nary, after getting much the
worst of matters in four rounds,
fighting even in the fifth and

to win the sixth.

For RemuS, no relative OF uncle
Remus', stood around the Amer
ican Legion arena last night for
10 rounds waiting to do something
to far inferior opponent, one Lo
Bianco, no relation to Lo, the In
dian, and before the final bell
sounded never got around to doing
much Of anything except take q
tame decision from the miscaSt
Cuban who seemed to be in there
only to last the match.
They are cooking up q fight be-
tween RemuS and Ken Overlin for
down Norfolk way before Remus'
fleet, the Pacific Gordon, leaves
Eastern waters, and by crackie,
Norfolk can have the match.
Remus q Milestone
Good as some Of Overlin's bouts
have been in these parts, Remus
wouldn't help him draw a dime
around Washington, for if Remus
is fighting middleweight in the
eyes Of the Navy, then something
has diluted the vision of the Navy
since Heine Miller holystoned the
decks and did sailors hornpipe
thereon.
Perhaps Remus is a good
fighter, but after eyeing the house,
which after all was just a cozy
little family gathering Of Legion
aires and their friends, he wasn't
in a mood to exert himself. His
sparring partner, Jimmy Walsh,
figure in the semi-windup put
Remus to shame for aggressive
ness in his well-earned victory
over Tony Dominguez, a name
which Announcer Lake handled
very nicely, in fact almost as
nicely as Walsh handled the
owner of the name.
Remus and LoBianco staged 10
rounds Of measuring, rushing and
clinching, each Of which was a
repetition Of the other except
that both looked a little worse as
the ensuing rounds wore on.
MiSdirected Left Jabs
LoBianco seemed to be trying
to plant a left jab in Remus' fea-
lures, which missed more often
than it landed. Remus avoided
this instrument of attack pretty
successfully and devoted the
interim to pounding leftS and
rights to Bianco'S head and body
The Washington times., 1934-07-12

Although the Tigers defeated
the Griffs with plenty to spare,
it was the pair of arbiters in one
question who took all the heart
out Of Manager Cronin and his
men by their decisions and at a
time when the Griffs needed every
ounce of courage to keep going.
The excitement occurred in the
eighth inning with the score tied
at TT and the Tigers at bat. Mar.
Gin Owen, first up in the frame,
doubled to right center off Of Jack
Russell, who was doing his usual
bit of better than average relief
pitching.
White, the next batter, bunted
and Russell, picking up the ball
threw to Cecil Travis at third in
plenty time to retire Fox. But Um
pire Donnelly saw the play the
other way, calling Fox safe.
This was the blow-off, Goslin,
the third batter of the inning
walked, and then followed hits by
Gehringer and Greenberg, a field
ers' choice by Rogell and a hit by
pitched ball to Owen, the entire
inning receiving its biggest sur.
prise when Umpire MCGOWAN
called Goslin safe at the plate on
Rogell's bounder to Kress, TT in
the ninth.
Had Few Words to Say
When the Griffs came to bat
to take their turn, Manager Cronin
had a few words to say on the
bench, not to the jumps especially,
but for the satisfaction Of himself.
MCGOWAN, behind the plate,
happened to hear Cronin's numb
lings and Immediately ordered
him out Of the game. Cronin
ambled off the field for the first
time in his career because Of
difficulties with an umpire. NC
Gowan, after the game, said he
would not fine or suspend Cronin.
Today, the GriffS were a bit
more calmer over the incident,
but Cronin, as well as the re-
mainder Of his boys, were mind
full that they had been given a
"tough break" in q game which
would have meant so much to
them had they won.
OF course the events which fol-
lowed the decision won the game
for the Tigers, but the Griffs
believe they might have had a
chance to get by the inning un-
scathed had Donnelly called Fox
out at third instead Of safe, and
MCGOWAN had seen the Goslin
play the other way.
One cannot definitely decide
on this as the Tigers pushed over
three runs besides the three
which were scored by the aid Of
the decisions. However, the
Griffs today were at odds with the
umpires again and the situation
promised to continue throughout
the remainder Of the campaign.
but the arbiters, in defense, have
accused the Griffs Of being the

weight figures to have a chance
with a combination lightweight
welterweight champion who can't
do 140 ponds with q boiled New
England dinner under his arm.
But then I seem to recall that
we kept insisting that Dempsy
was too big for Tunney and,
at the finish Of each fight, the
biggest thing about Dempsey
was the lump over his left eye
Dempsey, like McLarnin, was a
one-punch man. They just hit
them and walked away. But
there's always one thing TO be
said about that-you can't hurt
what you don't hit.
The Washington times., 1934-07-12

it turned out that he wasn't, he'd
stand and throw punches until it
was all even. Then he'd step out
side again and out-stab his man.
There isn't any apparent rea-
son why he won't do it again.
There were some that night who
felt that McLarnin had lost
his speed. Others were equally
sure that his famous rtght-cross
had lost itE kick. But, what
ever uncertainty may exist on
these points, there is practically
none on another, namely, that
Ross ought to be a better man
for the experience.
