THE SPORTLIGHT
Sport Parade Moves i'm Kaleidoscope
SplendOr Through Month of September
BY GRANTLAND RICE

At Brookline the great roulette
wheel Of sport will spin-champions
and ex-champions, gray-haired veter-
ans and kids, all hoping this will be
the week of timing and touch-the
week when they are on their game
from Egan and Evans Of 80 years ago,
to young stars under 20 who can beat
any one on given day.
Many bets have been made
that no one can pick i've men
who might even reach the final
round-and this should be odds
against.
As the final round is played Satur-
day, Harold Vanderbilt will be sailing
his Rainbow against T. o. NJ. Sopwith's s
Endeavour in the fifteenth of the
Challenge Cup races that date back
to 1851-when u. S. Grant and Robert
E. Lee were unknown-when Stone
wall Jackson and Phil Sheridan were
II years away from fame-when base
ball was either FOUNDERS or still un-
born-when golf was 40 years away
and intercollegiate foot ball 20 or
more.
All in all, with Giants and Tigers
driving toward another world series.
with the foot ball rash breaking out
again, that makes quite a parade. Men
die and dreams fade, but the sporting
spirit carries on.

Problem in Sportsmanship
UNDOUBTEDLY a lot of though

UNDOUBTEDLY a lot of thought
is back of Bobby Jones golf
philosophy of make it ten if
the enemy is nine down" and it all
may CONCEAL into hard sense, but, just
the same, we have respectful atti-
tude, too, toward a young man who
took an opposite view in one Of, the
most interesting contests we've seen
in several blue moons.
You've read considerable lately
about a lad named Deadpan
Frye, a horseshoe pitcher. who
betrayed not the slightest emo
tion under any circumstance
Country" youth whom hun
dreds turned out to see in the
final of The Evening Star tour
nament.
Well, unknown to the gallery, Frye
did display his feelings in the battle
with the defending champion, Clayton
Henson, and in very definite fash
ion. The crowd that jammed about
the four-court layout at lexington
looked on with wonder as Henson out
played, game after game, the player
who in pretourney matches had filled
UP a scorebook with victories before
the champion could win one, and that
too, with a sensational ringer per-
centage.

- HICAGO, September 10.-At
4 the ripe old age of SO most
" ball players are headed for
the scrap heap, but not Alec
McColl, who has seen that many
Summers and covers with his flannel
cap knob slick as a skating rink.
Actually, McColl seems to be improv-
ing with age.
The writing boys broke down and
committed quite a series of tear jerk
ers late last season when Alec was
bought by the Nationals for FILL in"
roles as a precaution against over
working the regular pitchers before
the world series. This is one column
not intended to draw forth a salty
drop. because Alec doesn't need SYM
pathy.
1t was pointed out last season that
the poor old fellow had spent two
decades in the minors, eating blue
plates and absorbing jolts in bumpy
busses, and, at 38, was too old to
have any future in the majors.
The reasoning seemed quite cor
rect. however, and when Alec devel-
oped sore arm at Biloxi last Spring
and was sent to Chattanooga until
the team packed up and left the train
ing camp it really looked curtains for
him. Nobody took Alec too seriously
anyway, even before his arm went
bad. There was flock of youngsters
around-kids with plenty of future.
There was Ray Prim, Ed Chap
man, Ed Linke and Mark F1lley, but
Alec didn't fade. The youngsters did,
instead. though Linke came back
and Prim will return for another trial.
Alec's venerable fin healed and he
hung on. playing second fiddle to Jack
Russell as relief pitcher and drawing
most of his assignments when the
game was lost. His won-and-lost rec
ord is not impressive.
But in quiet way Alec delivered,
and presto, look at his record and
you'll find him perhaps the most uni
formly effective Highlander on the
club. That performance yesterday,
for instance, was one of the sweetest
by any Washington hurler this sea-
son.
Alec will be 40 next year If our
arithmetic is correct. Perhaps he
won't be with the club, for, after all,
a big Lacquer is mighty old at 40. But
| don't waste any more sympathy on
Alec now. As said before, he doesn't
need 1t, and oldstsg that he ID. McColl

Too Good for Most.

ERYE, close enough at all times to
II make it a contest. pitched a
brand of hoss shoes too hot for
any in the tournament excepting q
Henson or Saunders or Brown, but
the touch that separates excellence
from wizardry was missing.
Henson was puzzled.
Then he saw something. As
Frye's right hand moved back
for the delivery, his left trem-
bled as from palsy. Deadpan
was plumb scairt!
He revealed afterward that never
before had he seen so many people in
one gathering. Never had he per-
formed before noisy gallery. and, in
case you don't know, horseshoes, as
played by experts, is game of almost
utter concentration. The margin oi
error is about that Of putting in golf.

alone Of the curving corps and one
of the few on the entire roster has
def1ed the injury jinx, which has
helped to knock the Nationals to the
depths of sixth place.
And it hasn't been because he's

but nix. They were in batting mood
as they faced Alec. In the opener
they had shellacked the offerings Of
Monte Weaver and AL Thomas for Is
hits to register 11-to-3 triumph.
McColl twirled six-hit ball in that
10-innnig nightcap, gave nary a
pass and would have had a shutout
but for a dubious decision at first
base by Umpire Bill Dineen. The
Nationals, held to five hits by young
Butch Gallivan, who also gave up as
many passes, took the lead in the
third when OSsie Bluege, who made
three Of the Washington hits, singled
home Johnny Kerr, who had gained
first base on wild heave by Third
Baseman Marty Hopkins.
This run should have been enough,
but in the fourth Al Simmons ground
ed to Myer, who made Susko reach
for the throw. Dineen called Sim
mons out, but AL squawked that Susko
was of base and the decision was
reversed while the Nationals howled
to the heavens. Then Bonura singled,
Appling sacrificed and Hayes singled
Simmons home with a grounder to
Bluege, which ordinarily would have
been an easy out, but which bounced
wickedly and hit Ossie in the face.
Until the tenth it was all McColl
and Gallivan. Then Bluege singled.
Stone sacrificed and, after Myer had
rolled out, Davey Harris doubled to
get the winning run. 1t was Alecs

Pitch like you did on my
courts, "etc.," as they hiked
from peg to peg In meaningless
innings - while the gallery
squirmed.
And, sure enough, Deadpan Frye
started that fourth game with flock
Of ringers. In fact, he came within a
few pitches Of winning it.
It was a big hump, and had Frye
made this grade he might easily have
pushed on to the title.
Then, perhaps, Clayton c. Henson,
three times Metropolitan Washington

the philosophy Of Jones. The En-
