BY GARRETT WATERS

Remember Bill jenkins? Most
every sandlot fan does, but to
those who have forgotten him,
even wondered where he drifted
after leaving the local picture
Bill is playing for the La Plata
nine, in the Southern Maryland
League.
Bill is not doing much catching
for the La Platas, but his hitting
is just as powerful as when he
murdered sandlot pitching locally
as catcher-manager Of the Wash
ington Red Sox-at that time
one of the best unlimited teams
in this section.
Now Right Fielder
His position now is right field.
And for a big man, Bill gets
around very well in the outer gar
dens-a position he played every
once in awhile for the Red Sox.
Another thing, and this is
probably the most important, be-
cause it has an interesting tinge
to it, Bill helped organize the
Southern Maryland League which
is now enjoying most success
full season.
Besides the La Plata team, five
others are in the circuit, includ-
ing Leonardtown, Marbury, In
dian Head, Bryantown and Me-
chanicsville.
The schedule is in the midst of
the second half at present with
Leonardtown leading with two
victories as against one loss.
Indian Head won the first half.
La Plata is in second place in the
second half, Marbury third, Indian
Head fourth, Bryantown fifth,
and Mechanicsville last.
Drinkard Leads HurIerS
Bill sends up some interesting
information about the league, in
cluding the fact that Lefty Drink
ard, Of Indian Head, is the cir
cults leading pitcher, with eight
games won and none lost.
Other comment reveals that
Charles Mattingly, center fielder
for Marbury, is hitting at a $40
clip, Iris Miller, center fielder for
Indian Head, is Slugging at BAT,
and Paul jenkins, of La Plata,
.342.
jenkins has several of his old
Red Sox teammates playing with
him for. La Plata. These per-
formers include Jessie Bowie, first
sacker: Spencer USiliton, pitcher
and outfielder; Walter Curtis,
Bennie Jenkins and Mickey O'Con-
nell. outfielders, and Charlie
Booker, Shortstop.

NAVY RETURNS
To GRADUATE
COACHING

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 1.-When
football practice starts at Anna
polls early in September, there
will be a group of ten young Off
GERS of the Navy, former players
on Academy teams, who will be
attached to the coaching staff.
Such an array of graduates has
never been connected with a Navy
team before and it will mark the
return to the system Of graduate
coaching.
The first Of these is Lieut..
Comdr. John H. Brown, the
famous Babe" Brown of Navy
football tradition, who played in
four games against the Army,
three of which were won by the
Navy, and who was an All-Ameri-
can guard. Lieutenant Comman-
der Brown is graduate manager Of
athletics at the Academy and as
director of football, has the final
word on all matters pertaining to
the handling of the sport.
H8m1I6On ACGAVG nC6U
Lieut.. Tom Hamilton, of the
1926 team, is assistant director OF
football, newly created position,
and will be the active head Of the
coaches, though not designated as
head coach. His principal assist
ants are Rip j. Miller, line coach,
and Johnny Wilson, an instructor
in the physical training depart
ment, who will be head backfield
coach.
Hamilton's teammates on the
1925 team, who will assist him,
are Hank Hardwick, end; Johnny
Cross, guard, and Howard Cald'
well, back, all lieutenants in the
Navy line. They have not been
officially assigned to their work as
yet, but it is likely that they will
assist with the varsity candidates
as to the position in which they
played.
A group of members of later
Navy teams have just been as
signed to the Naval Academy and
will assist Hamilton and the other
coaches. It includes a number OF
noted players on Navy teams, sew
eral of whom have also acted as
assistant coaches since gradua-
ton.
Hagberg on Staff
One of these is Oscar Hagberg,
who played both on end and in
the backfield, a graduate in 1881.
The others are members of the
class of 1882. One of them is
BULLET Lou" Kirn, one of the best
of Navy halfbacks of recent years.
Others are Magruder Tuttle. who
was captain and center of the
1881 team; Joe Taschirgi, a good
back, and Lou Bryan, a Stalwart
tackle.
For nearly 20 years Navy foot
ball teams have had non-graduates
at the head of the active coach.
ing, the exception being when Bill
Ingram, a graduate who had left
the Navy, was at the helm. Non
Navy coaches have included Gil
Dobie, Bob Folwell, Jack Owsley
and Edgar (Rip) Miller.

ARE MATCHED

Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn has

Capitol Limited, and Joey zoda,
Brooklyn lightweight. for the third
Of his triple-windup for Monday
night at the Riding and Hunt Club.
In already announced fights,
Bob Wilson, the Blonde Assassin,
will tackle the toughest foe he
has yet to meet since invading the
District a month ago-Cary
Wright, the Fighting Chef, who
makes pancakes in the day time
and rakes pans with two fisted at
tacks in the evening.
The third and final eight
rounder Monday night will pit
Carl Gugginia, the Tampan, who
clouted Leroy Dougan for an
eight-round decision last Monday,
and AL Ragone, Brooklyn battler,

the lad who gave the Districts

INDIANS SIGN
MOE BERG
Moe Berg is at large again.

Moe Berg is at large again.
The recently released Griffman
was last seen boarding plane for
Cleveland to join the Cleveland
Indians, who signed him late last
night to a contract.
Berg gets back into action as a
major Lacquer by virtue Of an un-
fortunate circumstance which
happened in the Cleveland-Detroit
games yesterday.
Glenn Myatt, second string
catcher Of the indians, suffered a
broken leg in the second contest
of the doubleheader at Cleveland
yesterday, leaving the Indians
without a capable understudy to
FRANKIE Pytlak, Manager john
sons first string man.
Immediately after the game,
johnson got in touch with Berg
by long distance telephone, Of
ferer him a contract which Berg
accepted.
Today, Berg is once more one
of the employed in the big league
army. He'll come in handy to
Cleveland as he still can catch,
despite his 80 years, is still a
smart handler Of pitchers, and a
dependable man to have around a
bali club, as per his case here.

That no really great poem
was offered was secondary, it
seemed to me, to the fact that
so many people who, obviously,
were not poets, were willing to
sit down and devote time and
thought to a tribute to Ruth.
Hundreds sent letters with their
verse, saying that they knew
they had no chance to win the
prize, but that they neverthe'
less welcomed the opportunity
to express their feelings about
the Babe.
Never in the history Of any
sport, my guess is, has an indl-

By BILL CoRUM

me of Babes unfailing flair for
making admirers. It is an odd
thing that Ruth, who re-
members few people, makes
them all remember him. But
the letter:
Dear Bill-YOu remember that
last year this time you ran q
poem contest on Babe Ruth.
Well, Chuck Duval, my partner,
and / got together and wrote
"a poem" for you, but our mas
terpiece was pigeOnhOled and
never got out Of the office.
But recently we had an Op-
pOrtunity to meet the subject
Of our first flight into the
realm Of verse.
Goes Over Big
As you no doubt know, Babe
was on the air this spring on
a commercial program and he
went big. Kids from all over
the United States listened in As
members Of the Babe Ruth
Baseball Club and submitted
limericks to his contest.
Seven Of the youngsters, in
cluding one girl, Virginia Cox,
Of Kansas City, won the trip
to the Fair. That's where we
came in. Jerry Cady and
Norman Sweetser came to town
and asked us to take charge Of
the visitors. So we took the
kids out to see Babe.
He treated all the kids as
though they were long lost
brothers, buying them all ice
cream, showing one how to
throw a curve, telling another
that he would have to keep his
shoulders back and his head
up if he ever expected to be-
come an athlete, proving to a
third that there were a lot of
home runs in a peck Of spin
ach, and in general making
them feel that they were the
heroes and he was the hero
worshiper.
He's the friend Of those kids
for life, even though ne hits
into a double play every time
he swings.
Send It In
That's how we got to thinking
about the poem, and I suggested
that we send it on to you.
'What fOr?" Chuck asked.
1--WE can't win a trip to the
world series; it's too late now"
"It's never too late," 1 argued,
"tO write poems about a guy
like Ruth And, besides, If Bill
Corum prints the verses we'll
get him two tickets to the World
Fair, or maybe we'll send him
two boxes Of mighty fine cereal.
So here's the poem, whether you
print it or nOt.-BOb Curley."
I haven't space left in which
to print the attached verses.
But the letter does give you a
pretty fair idea of the impress
sion the big fellow leaves behind
as he goes pacing pleasantly
through life.
