ROWE MAKES BIG
 EFFORT TO TIE RECORD TO-DAY
Washington Club Faces Detroit Tigers = Real
 Job to Beat Senators

Washington, Aug 25- U.P.) = Baseball immortality reached out to-day for a 22 year old Hill-Billy who never saw a uniformed team until two years ago.
 Lynwood (School-Boy) Rowe pitching sensation of the current season, will attempt to win his 16th consecutive game this after noon. If he does he will equal a record held jointly by three of the greatest pitchers in baseball his tory.
 Largely because of his master full skill, the Detroit Tigers led the American League by four and one half games. but looming large in the eyes of every player was not the idea of continuing on to win the pennant and get into the world series, but the school boys record.
 Rowe will face the Washington Senators, one of the heaviest hit ting teams in the league, in what probably will be the most intense ly dramatic game of the season.
 Three American League pitchers have won 16 straight games, they were all veterans-Joe Wood of Boston, Walter Johnson, the inn mortal Big Train" of Washington, anl Lefty Grove of the Philadel- phia Athletics. But the young man from Fl Dorado, Ark, who left his home town sweetheart, hominy grits and hoe cake to pitch the De- .troit Tigers to the brink of the world series thinks he can do it.
 "I'll just throw 'em in--that's all", he said. Sometimes the ball gets hit-sometime it don't. Most times if throw 'em fast enough they don't get hit"
 There have been great rookie pitchers in baseball. but none who dominated the league as has this young Ozark Hill boy-six feet four and POS pounds in his socks in his second year of baseball.
 Rowe's victories this year have included every club in the league but Washington. Since June 10, when he lost to Sad Sam Jones of the Chicago White Sox, 3 to l, he has not been beaten. His choice vic tim is the once mighty New York Yankees; he's taken them four times, Chicago has knuckled three times, and the rest - except the Senators-two each.
 He is one of the strangest pitch CTS in the business, because he seems to have nothing on the ball. He has a fast ball, and a dinky little curve.
 "I'm not picking soft spots for this record" the school boy said, 'This isn't any soft touch I've got ahead of me to-day. You know what they think of Walter John- son in this town-and how they'll like to see somebody else shove into his record"
 Monte Weaver, who has won ten games for Washington this year, is expected to be the school boys pitching foe.

TODANS SPORJhPARATE k&A&6@MB
BY HENRY McUII LORE Enitcd Press Staff COrn ,snondentl

Philadelphia, Aug. 25 -(UP) - Among the most remark able sights it is given mankind tr, behold is the phenomenal spects cle of Rod erick Menzel, the g0 ltleman from Prague, walking into a tennis court.
 There are few men who can command rapt atter t.ion simply by walking on a teunj 5. court with tennis racquet. In order to attract such consideration most men have to perform some feat of daring or skill. Some do tn i;s by swallowing swords and eating. three course luncheon of assor'e ed fire. Others by employing a tigh trope high in the air. Still others wear while mice in their lapels.
 But all Mist CT Menzel needs to bring the gag of a crowd in a focus on him elf, is to emerge from the club aouse and walk to d position near the baseline. His progrs ss invariably is fol- lowed with gasps and laughs, for Mister Men gel, who, incidentally, is prooably the second best tennis player in he world, looks like nothing ew CT seen on court. He's an awfully big to start with, stand ing better than six feet four and boosting a gross tonnage of nearly nearly b ald head gleams, giving him the appearance of a model Empire State building with the dome i illuminated.
 But it is the costume which drapcs his gigantic frame that lifts Mister Menzel out of the ruck of ordins ny humans and fits him 10 stand alongside the other wonders | Of tn world such as the hanging gard ems of Babylon, the statue of Jup iter Olympus, and the Colossus of 4hodes.
 J fe wears what he calls shorts, bu they are lie and a contradic- tic ,n, being too long for shorts and t. DO short for longs. To vizualize | hem take pair of pajamas ten sizes too large for you and cut
 them off so the pants will strike you just at the kneecap. With : these shorts the gigantic gentle
 man from Prague wears white cot
 ton stockings which he rolls just |. under his knees. He scorns garter,
 employing the neat roll and half | hitSi SiiPiOSCu NoO tiiiA tNAo( DJ 3 gals.
 It is a tribute to Roderick Men- , gels game that five minutes after . he starts play spectators stop
 laughing and their gasps of sur l prize changed to gasps of admira-
 tion, for he is a whole lot Of : tennis player. You have to be to l lick Jack Crawford in straight sets
 in Davis Cup play and carry Fred
 Perry to five sets at Wimbledon.
 The experts down here at the
 Germantown Cricket club. where . Menzel is playing in doubles. as a 3 sort of warm-up <or the nationals
 at Forest Hills. see him as the . man Perry must beat to retain his championship. Menzel has but one weakness-his stamina isn't what 1t could be. For three sets he is
 the equal of anybody but after that
 his fine No. 12 Czecho-S -Slovakian
 dogs begin to rebel at the task of
 carrying so much suet around | And the gentleman from Prague n begins looking around for place
 to sit down. As this is aganIs; the [ rules, the fifth set usually hnds him most uncomfortable if not eir-
 barrassed.

0LD-TIMERS WIN
 OVER CHASE FOES

The Chase Metal Works Old Timers, champions of their class, took a 10-7 victory over Charley Denehy's Office Boys in game played Thursday night in Water- vile before record crowd esti- mated close to 800. Among which were many of the Chase Company officials as well as a delegation from Unionville.
 Althought the Office Boys scored first and at one time held 3-1 lead, the hard-hitting Metal Work CTS banged out plenty of hits to top the Pencil Pushers.
 Henry Wagner, the Unionville star pitcher, struck out eight men and held the opponents at bay whenever they threatened. Com ing to bat in the second inning, time was called while his mates circled around Wagner at home plate and presented him with a purse of gold, amounting to $50.
 Wagners both arms gave out in the sixth necessitating a quack call for Frankie Delaney to take the mound for the last inning.
 Dcnehy's Office Boys collected eight hits for seven runs, with An- son Henry. Manager Denehy each collecting two apiece.
 Upon hearing of the Metal Works victory Eddie Farley imme- diately challenged them to q game next week, with himself an old time Eastern League pitcher toss- ing them over while Hank" Ga- gain will don the catcher's equip ment.

FOUR CLUBS FIGHT FOR PARKS HONOR
 IN SECOND ROUND
North End Hillies and A. B. C. Club in Fea=
 ture Game

The Public Parks leaguers will swing along tomorrow with four games carded at Washington, .Waterville and Fulton Parks. The boys have been playing some inter esting baseball of late and the contests tomorrow will be better than any previously seen due to the fact that four clubs are in a position to capture the second ser- ies honors.
 The St Stanislaus nine is listed to play the Wilson A. C. at Wash ington park in a banner attraction. President Bob Kierstead is of the opinion that a good fast game at the Hill site will be good financial bait and inasmuch as both clubs have a large following there will be plenty of excitement about the Hill section. Bergin and O'Connor will hold down. the assignments.
 Other Games
 The Oaklands and Raymond Hillies will swap talent at Fulton in the first game of twin bill be- ginning at 3 o'clock. James Glad ney, that sorrell topped manager of the Hillies has made plans to beat the East Enders in the early innings and have nothing to worry about later. That may seem like strategy but Jerry Rinaldi has plans of his own for the Oaklands.
 The N. E. Hillies and A. B. C.'s play in the nightcap. The North End rivals are both ready 10 go and goodly crowd of rooters should be on hand. The Colored combine usually display a free hit ting exhibition and tomorrow should be no exception. H. B, Hendricks and Tommy Foley will handle the assignments.
 The c. and c. Jrs. vs Waterbury "A. c. game at Waterville appears to be ready cash as far as the league coffers are concerned. The starting time is o'clock There are not enough bleachers at Wa terville to accommodate the large crowd and the early arrivals will be among those fortunate enough to secure seats. The officials are George Greece and Paul Sbpinsky
