FAIRLY WELL
INDICATED

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 18.-The
! tentative first,string Navy varsity

for two positions in the backfield.
where wealth of material makes
the selections difficult.
There can be no doubt that
Capt. Dick Burns and Dave Ia
briskie have the call at the guard
positions and that Slade Cutter
and George Lambert are in the
lead for the tackles. This quartet
Of forwards were regulars last
year and have a long lead for
their places this season. Lou Rob-
ertShaw, center for the plebes in
1882 and understudy to Bob Har.
bold last year, has the edge for
the place at present.
End Posts Open
The selections at the ends are
not so definite, though Bob Dorm
ing and Bob Mandelkorn are lead
ing by a slight margin. Both Of
these have had considerable var
sity experience.
Bill Clark, fullback, and Fred
Berries, halfback, are expected to
form the spearhead of the Navy
offense this season. Clark's run
ming with the ball. blocking, kick
ing and defensive play stamps
him as one of the best of the
college backs of that type, while
Berries is fast and elusive run.
ner and a notable HEAVIER and re-
ceiver Of passes. Berries is likely
to play the safety man on defense.
Lee, Pratt Lead
Holy Lee and Dick Pratt, both
of whom had some varsity expert
ence last year, are the two lead
ing aspirants for the quarterback
position, though Bobby Edwards,
who played the position for the
plebeS, has much promise.
Harold Larsen and Tommy
King, both of whom had a lot Of
varsity playing last year, lead for
the vacancy at halfback. Larsen,
change fullback last year, is an
excellent runner and kicker and.
in his final season, may land a
regular berth. King is particu-
larly strong defensive back and
will undoubtedly see a lot of play
ing during the coming season.
AS a whole, the team Is not
quite so heavy as last year, but
will start the season with good
many more experienced players
than in 1888.

Expects Pitchers
Cronin, who sat on the Wash

fall overcoat, expects a couple Of
young pitchers from Chattanooga
to report to him today, and if Sid
Cohen and Orville ArmbruSt ar
rived, they may be tossed into the
games against Cleveland. If they
don't, Walter Stewart, the left
handler who gave the Tigers g
stirring argument last week in
Detroit, and AL Thomas will take
the hurting hillock.
Cronin also hopes that Fred
Sington and Alvin Powell. out

and no spare outfielder to take a
turn in case of another injury

VISITING FOUR
G|VENEDGE
|NSPEED
BY BERNARD FREEMAN

The calm before the storm
which will be the Mexican Army.
United States Army international
polo series, affords fine oppor.
tunity to glance over the string
of thirty-two ponies on which the
Americans are baSing their hopes
Of victory in the first game to-
morrow at p. m. at Potomac
Park.
Ponies being the most impor-
tant part of the game, Major
c. c. &C. Square" Smith, whose
fiery and dashing riding have
earned for him the reputation of
being the most reckless and best
player in the service, obligingly
discussed the American officers
string for us, giving thumbnail
sketches here and there.
Evenly Mounted
It appears that the United
States and Mexico will be evenly
mounted, with what edge there is
in speed going to the MeXicanS.
However, American ponies have
had more experience, which
should mean something on
field as wet and heavy as Poto-
mac Park is bound to be after
more than a week of rain.
The Mexican horses, however,
are American trained, having been
purchased in California, Arizona
and New Mexico from the stables
Of such Western polo stars as Rube
williams, Cecil Smith, Eric Ped
ley and Elmer Boeseke. But they
have not gone through the rigor-
Gus requirements demanded of
United States Army ponies. For
when our Government first pur-
chaseS its horses, they are selected
with an eye to cavalry duty. The
American ponies also have seen
much polo service around various
forts throughout the country.
80 Ponies to Side
Each team has 80 ponies avail
able for play, eight for each player.
However, each man is expected
to use only six. Of the United
States string. four are privately
owned, three by Major Smith and
the other by Captain C. E. Davis.
Major Smith, the team captain,
will start astride Tiffany, a ten.
year-old mare which he has played
Tor four years. C-Square took this
pony to Mexico last year, and
rates her as good as any inter.
national horse. Tiffany comes
from Fort Sill.
jeanette Andrews, a 2O-year.old
mare, and Twenty Bucks, an Ar.
genuine pony privately owned by
the Major, are two of his other
1avor1tes, and are likely to see
service Immediately after the first
chukker. Just which one will be
ridden first depends entirely upon
the joStling the Major receives on
Tiffany.
Davis On True Love
Captain c. E. Davis, the five
goal No. man, will start off on
True Love, thoroughbred mare
which will make her debut in big
time polo in the Mexican series.
True Love has been used chiefly
in games around Fort Myer, and
has handled so well that Captain
Davis feels she is ready for her
baptism under international fire.

Times Staff Writer
DETROIT Sent

DETROIT, Sept. 10.
"Atta, boy, AL; you CIinched
that old pennant, boy. That
took the fight out of them and
they're through for the year.
"BOys, the rest Of it is just
breeze. Now we'll win that
world SERIES"
It was Mickey Cochrane talking,
and the Detroit clubhouse was a
scene of jubilation. Ginril Alvin
Crowder, surrounded by a ring
of players who patted his back
and laughed as they told how
great he had been, smiled and
thanked his rollicking mates.
YankS Blanked
The Gin'ril had just finished
withdrawing the Yankees. He
beat their ace, Lefty Gomez, and
stretched the lead of the Bengals
to six and one-half games.
Crowder, sold to the Bengals
by the Griffs for the waiver
price, shares with Schoolboy
Rowe and Earl Whitehill the
honor of blanking the Yankees
this year. Said Crowder:
81 had my stuff. I felt that
if we could just get a couple
of runs I'd win without trouble.
My arm was as strong at the
finish as when 1 started. In
fact, 1 think my fast hall
! jumped just a little bit more at
the finish than at the start"
"They got one good hit off
you, AL" piped Cy Perkins.
"Byrd's single was good. The
rest were lucky"
'HOW'M DOIN'?"
81 darn near caught that ball
in center field on LazZeri,"
yelled White. IF those people
had been able to get back a
little, I'd sure have caught that
baby. 1t tipped my glove as it
was"
"Hey Rowe, how do you feel
for tomorrow" asked COchrane.
"How am I doin', Mickey"
asked Rowe, and the boys
laughed.
It's all over but dividing the
spoils. The Tigers are six and a
half games ahead of the Yankees
with IL to play. If the Yanks
lose two of their II games and
the Tigers win six of their re-
naming games, the race is over.
Cochrane holds a pat hand
now. He has Rowe to send
against the Yankees today while
Mccarthy will go in with Charley
Ruffing. With those pitchers,
the Tigers are to S in any
book around town, and no takers.
Eden Auker, now at his peak,
will follow Rowe, and Tommy
Bridges will close the series on
Thursday, with Johnny Broaca
the probable choice of Nc
Carthy.
Crowder pitched one of his
great games. Just once did the
Yankees get a runner to third
base.
Gomez was knocked out of the
box for the third time this year
by the Tigers and lost his fifth
game of the year. He was far
from the cool and nonchalant
maestro of pitching that fans
know.
