PERRY'S PATH

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept
11.-Vernon Kirby, Of South
Africa, found himself in a posi-
ton today to obstruct Fred Perry's
entrance into the final round Of
the mems national tennis cham
pionship here. The slim, blond
lefthander, born 20 years ago,
learned to play tennis on the
court in Durham.
And he must have learned well,
judging by the exhibition he gave
yesterday while trouncing Frank
Shields in four sets in their quar-
ter-final encounter.
Star at Seventeen
When only II, he was picked
on the South African team which
played against England. He won
four of his five matches, beating
Bunny Austin twice, taking two
from Gregory and splitting two
with Ian Collins.
He holds a victory over Perry
in four meetings, and beat Colt
fried Won Cramm at Wimbledon
this year, only to lose to Sidney
Wood in the quarter finals.
Allison Meets Wood
There is no favorite in the other
semifinal, involving Wilmer ALI
son, five-Set conqueror of Lester
Stoefen, and Sidney Wood,
Straight-set winner over Frankie
Parker, as in the Perry match.
Both veterans enjoy strong back.
ing. Allison has had a stiff test
in every one of his starts; Wood
turned back the most dangerous
youngsters in the championship
when he crushed Parker. Besides,
both are at the top Of their
games.

Washington's golf eyes will be
turned towards Brookline, Mass,
today where four local sons are
competing in the second round
matches Of the national amateur
championship.
Jimmy Drain, Washington Golf
and Country Club, and Gene Vim
son, Manor, have the toughest as.
signments. Drain takes on Zell
Eaton, the Oklahoma youngster
who won the 1884 Western anna
teur crown. Vinson hooks up with
Rodney Bliss, the brilliant lad
from Omaha.
Billy Dettweiler. 16-year-old Con-
gressional Country Club youngster,
was opposing Frank C. Ford, of
Charleston, S. c., and Martin F.
Mccarthy, Columbia country
Club, was meeting Milton P. War
ner, New Haven, Conn. Dettweiler
and Mccarthy were victors in yes
terday's opening rounds. Dettwei-
Ter triumphed over Johnny Burke,
Middletown, R. l., one up in 81
holes and Mccarthy spilled Charles
B. Round, Providence, R. L. 5
and 8.

BREWERS TAKE
FIELD TODAY
IN SERIES
BY GARRETT WATERS

All eyes are on the weekday
baseball championship series to-
day, meaning the eyes of sand
Lot fans.
Today, the Heurich Brewers,
Industrial League champs, swing
into action, meeting the Acacia's,
National Capital League repre-
Sentatives, on the South Ellipse
at 4 p. m.
Favored to Win
The Heruchs have been picked
by many supporters of the series
as the ultimate champs. The
team is one of the strongest in
the city. it is argued, and at
best the most feared in the cur
rent tourney.
Artie Scrivener will pitch for
the Brewers today. Joe Sullivan
will do the twirling for Acacia.
The Insurance lads defeated
Grace Episcopal, Georgetown
Church League representatives,
last week in what was the open
ing of the series.
Yesterdays contest was between
G. P. O., of the Departmental
League, and Kann'S, Of the De-
partment Store League.
G. p. o. Wins
The former team triumphed,
II to 8 by virtue of piling up a
big lead in the early innings.
Kann'S threatened before the
game ended, but Bob Lyons, pitch
ing for G. P. o. regained his COM
posure in time to retire the side
after four runs had been counted.
Here's the remainder Of the
schedule for this week, several
changes having been effected
since the original schedule was
announced:
Today Heurichs QndustriaD VS..
Acacia Capital city,.
Tomorrow-College Park maryland
Suburban. VS.. G. P. o. Departmental
Thursday-Grace A. c. Georgetown

c. j. HARD HIT
AS MAKOFSKE
HURTS ANKLE
BY HARRY COSTELLO

BY HARRY COSTELLO
What would football do with
out the famed injury jinx?
From Camp Let's, where George
Washington University is holding
forth, from Georgetown, and from
Catholic University, come tales
Of the injury jinx.
G. w. reports three hurt-all
with rib injuries.
Georgetown sends word that
Tom Regis has bad shoulder,
after yesterdays scrimmage.
MakOfSke Sprains Ankle
C. U. informs the world that a
sprained ankle will keep Bob
Makofske out of the game for 10
dayS-10 important days for
c. u, too.
Maryland managed to escape
injuries yesterday.
G. WIS three ailing ones are
Bill Brewer, a halfback; Frank
Lee, a tackle: and Henry Won der
Brugge. an end. Bob Wright,
guard, also was hurt (another
rib injury, but he was not
rushed to the hospital as were
Brewer, Lee and Won der Brugge.
Makofske's sprained ankle may
prove a severe blow to C.. U. in
the not-far-distant Holy Cross
game. Bump 'em" Bob has
been hailed as a most promising
back, something C. U. will need
against Holy Cross. Last year.
it will be recalled, the Cardinal
line played Holy Cross to
Standstill, but c. US backs up
and lost the game against one
of the best elevens Holy Cross
ever produced. Since the Cru
saders will be stronger this year,
having the makings of a ma
tional championship team, if
players like Makofske are not at
their best, c. US hopes for vic
tory app ar Simmer.
Fortified With Reserves
G. w. is well situated in the
matter of reserves. Injuries to
three or four players mean little
to the Colonials, since they have
several men for each position, one
as good as the other. The beauty
of balance in a football squad is
that it eliminates worry.
Georgetown, however, can i'll az
ford to lose E. single man. G. U.
is in much the same boat, but not
quite so badly off as are the
Hoyas in this matter Of losses by
injury.
All four of the Districts big
college teams scrimmaged yester-
day. C. U. indicated it's opening
game lineup. The Cards had
Fleming and McGann on the
flanks, Confer and Karpowich at
the tackles, Lajousky and Arnold
at the guard positions, Gemlo at
center, Augusterfer handling the
team, Tom Gearty and Secino at
the halves, and Oliver at fullback.

RENEW FEUD

A boxing feud of long standing

Boosting a win apiece in
previous bouts, Dougan and Burr
since have undergone two post

lowing a recent operation, Oougan

Faces Tough
Assignment
BY BILL CORUM

though the baseball races had
been neatly tucked away for
this season. It looked to be
the Giants on the one hand
the Tigers on the other, and
that seemed to be all right
with everybody. Detroit hadn't
boosted a pennant for rs years,
and the Giants hadn't won
enough Of them in the last
10 to make it a commonplace.
All in all, 1t seemed a neat
solution of the baseball problem
until the world series rolled
around. Some Of the boys had
gone so far as to take their
hotel reservations for the first
game Of the series in Detroit,
and several Of the papers had
called in their baseball writer's
and turned their hands to other
tasks.
The chances are still better
than good, Of course, that 1t
will wind up as predicted. But
if you think that's a dead sure
thing now, you are not seeing
eye to eye with the MesSrs.
Terry and Cochrane, managers
of the Giants and Tigers re-
spectively. Both Of them prob
ably wish that they were just
as confident now as they were
this time q week ago.
Hold Fighting Chance
The position of New York
City in the matter Of the two
pennant races is curious. On
the western front We have the
Yankees trying to knock down
the approximate tour-game Lead
of the Tigers, while here at
home the Giants are trying to
protect just such a lead from the
Cardinals.
In one breath we yell at Gen.
eral Mccarthy and his troops:
charge that barrler!" and IN
the next to Colonel Terry and
his: Hold that line"
Both teams face a four-game
series with their arch rivals
over the weekend and during
the first of next week, and
those series could just possibly
decide both races in surprising
fashion.
I mean that with the world
series feast all set for the
Giants and Tigers, the Cards
and Yanks might move in and
take up the eating. That's not
probable, I repeat. But it Ger.
tainly is possible.
If the Cards can pick up one
more game, or even half game,
on the Giants before they come
to the Polo Grounds on Thurs
day, they'll be in a position to
go into first place during the
four-game series here. Even
by winning three out of four in
that event they would leave
here on Sunday night in q viz
tual tie with the TerryerS.
You must admit that will be
too close for comfort for a
team that had a Seven-game
advantage only a few days ago.
And you will also have to admit
that in a four-game payball
series, those Dean Brothers
will loom exceedingly large.

FORMER RIVALS
To MEET IN
Bic SHOW
BY SID KATZNELL

It was the fifth inning to be
exact and it was June, 1928, when
two leading Sandlot teams Of the
District hooked up in a gruelling
battle on one Of the better base
ball diamonds Of the Nations
Capital.
Bozie Berger was playing on one
side and Alvin ~Jake') Powell
was displaying his wares with the
opposition. The score was tied s.
all at that time. Then came the
war.
Big Bozie was approaching the
plate and one of his teammates
was resting easily on the initial
sack with two down. The large
gallery was yelling for an extra
base hit and to make a long story
short Berger bounced on the first
ball pitched and sent it high in
the air over the center fielder's
head for a home run, scoring his
teammate ahead of him.
Powell Shouts
After Berger circled the paths,
Powell shouted from center
field:
I'll be seeing va in the
big leagues"
Berger answered:
"Maybe!"
The way things appear now,
Powell wasn't talking through his
hat because both Berger and
Powell report to major league
clubs next year. Berger who has
been playing great ball with the
New Orleans Pelicans, will be
given another chance with the
Cleveland Indians, while you all
know that Clark Griffith put out
a lot of jack to grab Powell from
the Albany Senators.
Hits Curves
incidentally the one thing that
kept Berger from gaining a regu-
lar berth with the Indians this
season, has been conquered by the
big blond athlete. He is able to
hit a curve ball. Heretofore Berger
was a sucker for almost any curve
ball.
Should Powell make the grade
in the big leagues, he should
grasp the hand of Garrett Waters,
Times sports writer, and thank
him fervently. It was Waters
who went to Griffith and advised
a tryout. After seeing Powell in
action the Old Fox sent him 70
youngstown for seasoning and
from there to Chattanooga and
then to Albany. Alvin played on
the Takoma Tigers when Waters
was at the helm.

Sea Disaster
Forces Sports
Off First Page

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Work-
ing on a newspaper isn't greatly
different from clerking in a
grocery store. A fellow sits
around on the cracker barrel
for days with nothing to do,
wishing he could go fishing, and
then all of a sudden the GUS
toners start coming in droves.
They swamp him, drive him
slightly cuckoo through trying
to wait on them all at once,
and then just as suddenly walk
out and leave him to his mus
ingS on a cracker barrel.
Here we are in the midst Of
one Of the greatest sea disasters
of all time, and certainly the
best covered story of a tragedy
at sea in all history. Could any.
body ever have dreamed of a
marine disaster in which the
hulk of the Inflated ship prac-
tically drifted into the city room
while still afire?
They tell me that on our
paper it has been next to i'm
possible to print fast enough
to supply the demand. Which is
no wonder considering the stories
and the pictures that have fairly
crashed into you from the
printed page; some of them so
vivid that you could all but hear
the cries of the victims, the
crackle and hiss of the fire, and
the wash of the sea under its
blanket of fog and rain.
What a Weekend
Without wishing to compare
the dramatic and all but un-
believable tragedy of the Moro
Castle with anything in the
world of sport, or to couple it
with sports event except in
the sense that both make news,
it has occurred to me that while
the fire inside it is still warm,
we will be entirely surrounded
by sports news which ordinarily
is first page and no questions
asked.
Surely, none will deny that
the Americas Cup race of the
coming weekend is normally a
big story. Ditto the East-West
polo matches, ditto the SIS, 900
Belmont Futurity, unless I am
mistaken the richest horse race
in the world at this time.
Ditto the return McLarnin-
Ross welterweight championship
fight, which this time a week
ago had this town and Chicago
more than slightly ga-ga.
The amateur golf at Brook.
line, Mass, the finals Of the
tennis and the opening Of the
football season will not want
for readers, either. And then,
