WIRE TAPPING
TRAP NETS2

Charged with wiretapping. Jo-
seph Baracciof, At, who gave a
Washington address, and william
B. james, ~, of Texas, were ar
rested yesterday by Baltimore de-
tectives and held under bond OF
$1,000 each at the Hyattsville po-
lice station. Both men will be ar
raigned at the Hyattsville police
court tomorrow morning.
It is alleged that the two tapped
wires in an effort to secure "ad.
vance information" on horses rae
ing at Bowie after the horses had
already won. On complaints from
bookmakers all over the country
that someone was "past posting"
them, the telephone company
started an investigation.
Residents of Randall Station
near Bowie remembered two men
drive a small coupe each day to
that point, and the detectives de-
cided to set a trap for them.
Yesterday telephone men and
the detectives hid in the woods,
and waited until the wire tappers
began their usual tapping. and
then swooped down on them, to
catch them red handed. One Of
the tappers was high up on a tele-
graph pole while the other was
down below with receiving set

RICHMOND PAIR NEW THREAT IN TINES DOUB
HOLD RECORD
FOR SINGLE
GAME, 34l
BY DANNY GILL

For the first time since the
inauguration Of the annual Wash
ington Times Atlantic Coast dou-
bleS, three years ago, The Times
Trophy stands q better than even
chance of going to the Old Do
minion State.
Richmond, for the first time,
will take a shot at the doubles
crown. 1t will present a team
which seems to have been made
to order in Jake Hanson and
Gordon Caldwell, who have def
nitely entered the affair which
will be held Saturday at 2:30
p. m. at Lucky Strike and at 1880
p. m. at Temple. The entry fee
is $14 a team.
May Enter Also
According to Caldwell, there's
q chance that Red Neblett and
Sammy Baker may enter along
with Pony Baugh and Hobnails
Francis, although they have not
reached a definite decision.
Hanson is a former national
boys champion and is the pres
ent city and State champion. He
has rolled two TOO sets this sea-
son. A 725 and 726 were both
official. being made in doubles
competition. Jake finished sixth
in The Washington Times Dixie
Sweepstakes with 1899, one pin
behind Caldwell.
Besides finishing fifth in the
Dixie, Caldwell rode into third
place in the Atlantic Coast
Sweepstakes in Baltimore with
1850.
World Record
As a sample of their doubles
ability, the Hanson-C Caldwell duo
can show a world record single
game of 341. a five-game set Of
1884, a team average of 245 plus
for SO games this year and a
1917, rolled when it defeated
Easterday and Clarke Of An
napolis. .
Gordon Caldwell also shares the
high single game CentrslSouth
Atlantic record Of 201 and is
liable to break loose at any time.

NETMEN
RESUME PLAY

PINEHURST, N, c., April 10.
The North and South tennis
championship tournament will be
resumed here today after having
been halted by rain after two
matches had been played yester'
day. Frank x. Shields, first rank
ing American player. is to meet
Fred Stein. of the University OF
North Carolina, in his first round
test.
Other members Of the Davis
Cup squad are due today from
Houston, Tex.
The Washington times., 1934-04-10

It involves his pitching staff
and the naming Of some parti-
cular pitcher for the various sets
Of games the Griffs must play
each week.
And the best part Of it is the
fact that the youthful pilot keeps
this system in black and white
and continually refers to it as
the days come and go.
FilIey, Linke Today
For example, the system today
calls for the employment of the
youngsters Mark Filley and Eddie
Linke in the pitchers box against
the Boston Braves, potent Ma
tional Leaguers.
Tomorrow, it nominates Lefty
Walter Stewart and Monte
Weaver for duty. Thursday, it
selects General Alvin Crowder
and Ray Prim for work. while
Friday it orders Earl Whitehill
and Jack Russell to the mound.
And so on down the line until
every pitcher has been given that
opportunity to work. OF course,
the weather has q great deal to
do with the complete success Of
this system, as Cronin has taken
for granted at the start that the
skies above will work hand-in-
hand with his plans.
Later, One 1T q Time
So much for this part Of It.
During the regular season. Cronin
uses the same system although in
a little different manner. At that
time. as it can be readily under
stood, his plans must call for the
nomination Of only one pitcher at
a time for service.
On the whole it brings out the
absolute thoroughness Of Cronin's
system Of managing. In short, it
tells the interesting story that
the young leader is thinking at
all times, and that he seldom is
letting a bet miss when it comes
to getting the most out of his
performers at every turn.
Playing Percentage"
Cronin, incidentally, will en-
phatically play the percentage
game" again this season because
that's the way he plays it him
self and that's the manner in
which he'd liked to have his team
play it.

The contest was q comedy of

tween every second or third
pitched ball.
Won't Learn Lesson
College baseball could learn a
great lesson from that G. W.
Vermont thing. but probably
won't. The lesson is that teams
should do their practicing before
the day of a game. Then, too,
this business of heavy thinking
during q contest i'll BELTS q col.
lege aggregation.
For three innings G. w. gave
promise Of relief from the Gus.
tomary wearisome tactics Of col.
legiate baseball players. The
Colonials looked like big leaguers,
and. what's more. acted like big
leaguers. Then, suddenly, G. w.
became strictly collegiate. After
that the ball game resembled
matching of wits by lS morons.
Archie Scrivener. a southpaw
with a lot Of stuff. started on
the mound for G. w. He made
Vermont look silly and, while he
hurled, the visitors did not hit q
ball out Of the infield. Strange
as 1t may seem. Vermont scored
four runs-one in the fourth in
ming and four in the fifth-with-
out getting a base hit. This de-
serves explanation.
Not Moe Berg
In the fourth, one Of the Yer
mont collegians walked. He was
sacrificed to second. Then, he
stole third, typical college trick.
Berg, G. W's catcher, tossed wild
to catch the Vermonter and the
latter brought in the run.
In the fifth, Scrivener, invinci-
BILE till now, became wild, a Ia col
lege. After tanning two men, he
walked three. Smith, G. w. short
fielder, fooled one, and Scrivener
walked two more, to prove that
college baseball is college baseball.
earns, G. WIS centerfielder.
started off G. W's half Of the
opening inning by walking. He
moved to third on Smiths double.
Capt. OTIS Zahn walked, and up
came Big Ed Fitzgerald. who be-
lieves in taking q healthy swing
at a pitched ball. thus proving
himself a novelty in college base
ball.
Big Ed connected and his hit to
deep center would have dnoe Babe
Ruth credit. It was one bounce
short of the deep center-field wall.
The ball ran through an opened
gate clean out of the park.
Vermont's centerfielder. q
sprinter of note up Vermont way,
chased the apple and returned it
by relays to Vermont's' catcher,
who tagged Big Ed out at home.
That first G. w. inning was q
pip. However. the old saying that
q college boy is still a college boy
proved true of both teams later in
the game, and. as may be ac-
cepted as the gospel truth. the so
called contest became strictly
college"
