Stewart Starts 1t
This new bit Of topnotch play
ing was begun in the second con-
test of the series with the Cleve-
land Indians last Friday. Lefty
Walter Stewart was on the mound
and his excellent performance as
a 3 to / winner righted Cronin
and his pals to such an apparent
extent that "follow-up" perform
ances have been turned in ever
since.
And what a different situation
it makes!
Take the first game against
the Indians. The Griffs were
"way off" in that engagement
so much so that not only was
the pitching poor, but the batting
and fielding Of the team were
terrible.
But today the boys are once
more on their toes, their hitting
is what it should be. their fielding
is even stronger, while the pitch
ing is better yet, summing up
Stewards work of Friday, Monte
Weaver's brillance Saturday, and
Bob Burke's 4-to-1 effort yester-
day in the opener Of a three-game
series with the Detroit Tigers.
This Guy Burke
Burke? Where have we heard
that name before? Oh yes, he's
the guy who has been around
Griff ball teams for the past
seven years. A brilliant pitcher
whom President Clark Griffith
has always been afraid to cast
adrift for fear that he might de-
velop into a star overnight.
The slender southpaW's trouble
in the past has been the way
he's been handled, President Grit
fifth has argued. Well, fans, lis
ten to this Manager Cronin has
handled the earnest working lad
very nicely during the past two
years, although many have sci,
dom realized it.
Last year Cronin, after decid-
ing for himself that Burke was a
pretty good pitcher after all, hit
upon the plan Of pitching him
every once in a while, but most
important only at those times
when Burke least expected he
was going to be called upon.
CrOnin Psychology
The result, Bob won four
beautiful games for the Griffs in
1888 and just at moments when
his team had to have victories
or else never catch the Yankees.
Burke's appearance yesterday,
therefore, was merely a follow
through" of Cronin's 1888 psy-
chology. He didn't tell the south
paw he was going to twirl until
just before game time, and Bob,
taking to it like a Grant taking
Richmond, pitched another Of
those brilliant games he's been
known to pitch at times in the
past.
Maybe Cronin's gang has
reached its long-awaited winning
stride. It's something nice to
imagine. anyway,

NETMAN
IS BIC NOISE
BY DAN GILL

Last year 1t was Ralph McEl-
venny and Allen Blade, strangers
in our midst, who upset the well
laid plans of local tennis stars by
eliminating them right and left
in the few tournaments in which
they participated.
Now the City Of Washington
tournament, the first major event
Of the season, brings another star,
Guido Conill, who entered it with
out the usual fanfare and bally-
hoo, and emerged from the first
round play as a marked man.
Conill, former junior champion
of Cuba, yesterday eliminated
one of the favorites and the first
champion of the tournament, Tom
Mangan, 60, Ga. It was simply
a matter of two steady players
meeting with Conill being the
steadier.
Mangan on Defense
The Cuban, who has played
tennis in France and Switzerland
with considerable success, makes
use of an exaggerated western
forehand which causes the ball
to take a tremendous rise. With
Mangan's most effective work
done as the ball rises, he found
hims self at a disadvantage
throughout the match as the ball
would come up almost out Of the
court.
Guido Conill is a student in
the Georgetown University For
eign Service School. He didn't
play on the team, because as
George Crowley said:
we didn't discover him until
we had played about three
matches and decided not to
use him then as he has three
more years of competition"
EARLIEST DEFEAT
This makes the first time that
Tom Mangan was defeated in
the early round as the veteran
not only is former champion
but a three time finalist.
The second big scare came
when Neil Anderson made Tony
Iatona work like a trojan to win
11-9, 1913. Anderson had the
first set within his grasp when he
leo five games to two but lost the
set 11-9, after missing five set
points.
The women, too, saw one of
their favoriteS eliminated by an
out-of -towner when Bobsy Turney
fell before the smashing shots Of
Marian Wood, who formerly called
California home.
Captures One Set
Kay johnson created a stir
when she took a set from Mrs.
Ruth Martinez.
Three new teams are entered in
mems doubles. The Mangan-
Craven and MitchellBuchanan
teams are split with Dooly team
ing up with Tom Mangan; Grave
with Tony Latona and Buchanan
with Bud Markey. Charest and
McElvenny, the No. team
romped to a 60, 6-1 win over
Muscoe Garnett and Ed Baker.

=, DETROIT, May 2l-1t's been
O wen.known fact, and 1t promises
to continue being this fact as long
as there are veteran performers
in the big leagues.
:! And that, dear home folks, IS
the thought that veteran pitchers,
in reality most all Of 'em, reach
their best form when the weather
Is warmest.
With the group now wearing
Griff uniforms there happens to
be no exception to the rule. At
the least no exceptions have been
noticed since last year when PreSi-
dent Clark Griffith jumped out
and corralled a staff Of old-timers,
20 to speak, to work for Joe Gro.
min, his new and youthful man
ager.
Take Earl Whitehill, Lefty Wal
ter Stewart, General Alvin Crow
der and Tommy Thomas. Great
pitchers, all Of 'em, when the
weather is warm, and, as the case
will prove itself, slow starters nor
tnally each spring when the atmos-
phere is uncertain and topcoats
the style.
- Weather Handicaps
This season, outside of the 11act
chat the entire quartet, with the
possible exception Of Thomas, ar
rived home from training camp
needing two or three more weeks
to get into complete shape, the
Spring-like air handicapped each
man.
Hardly in c.Ay instance could
the "boys" get their fast ones"
working properly. Nor their re-
spective changes Of PAGES, curves
and all that sort Of thing.
But come q bit Of warm
weather and what happens? A
brand Of better pitching that's
what occurs, bringing with it vic.
tories such as good hurting will
Only bring.
ALI right, just which twirler
mas the warm weather helped to
date? Surely not Earl Whitehill
or Gen. Alvin CrOwder, neither
Of whom have finished 8 game
as YETI
Lefty Walter Stewart, that's
who. And next on the docket
will be the veterans, Whitehill
and Crowder. It's bound to be
in the formers case, at least, as
always in the past he's been q
stronger hurler in the warmer
months of the season than in
the early spring.
) Whitehill, incidentally, is due
to take the mound in today's Sec
ond game Of the current series
against the Detroit Tigers. Where
he hasn't Jared so well in the
past, he is expected to 60 the
route today as the weather here
y made to order for him.
Looms AS Fifth
# he is successful in this par
tcular effort, he will become the
fifth Griff hurler who will have
travelled the entire route to a
victory. Lefty Walter Stewart,
Al Thomas, Prof. Monte Weaver
and Bob Burke are the others.
Today the entire team was pull
Ing for Whitey's success.
Bob Burke became the fourth
Griff "route" hurler by pitching
brilliant 4-to-1 ball against the
Tigers in the opener Of this series
here. Bob let his opponents
down with only six hits and
would have shut 'em out but for
two errors by Cecil Travis in the
seventh inning.
The Griffs, in the meanwhile,
Knocked Schoolboy Rowe out of
the box In the third by scoring
three runs. Cronin hit one Of
these across, while Travis double
with the bases loaded pushed over
the other two.
In all, it was a great game
from a Griff standpoint, as the
victory enabled Cronin and his
gang to take a toe hold on fourth

DIE IN CRASH

MERGED, Calf, Aug. 13. U.P)-
Bodies of two women and a youth,
killed in a collision late Saturday
on the Yosemite highway, were to
be sent to their homes today as
authorities sought to fix RESPONSE
bility for the crash.
Donald Mckenzie Scott, 10, of
Glendale and Miss Berta Rideout,
20, of San Jose, were killed Instant
ly when their car crashed head-on
into an oil truck. Miss Cecilia
Davis, 80, of San Jose, died two
hours later in hospital.
The two women, evangelists at
the Glad Tidings tabernacle in San
Jose, were returning from a visit
to Yosemite Valley. Scott, a col
lege youth who had been working
in the park during the summer, ap-
parently had "hitched' ride
with them.
Andrew Paul Flanagan, %, driver
of the oil truck, was not injured.
He claimed Miss Davis car swerved
suddenly and crashed into his
heavy vehicle.
