8 BIKE RACERS
To v|EFOR D. c.
SENIOR TITLE
BY SID KATZNELL

Nearly everyone has the idea
that one race will decide the Dis
trict Of Columbia junior and
senior bicycle championships Sun
day, August IL, at the Polo oval
in Potomac Park. That idea is
entirely off key.
In order to have a cyclist
crowned champion in his division,
he is compelled to compile the
highest total points from four
racing events. The events are
the half mile, five miles and 10
miles. The points are awarded
as in a track meet-five for first
place, three for second, two for
third, and one for fourth position.
Eight to Compete
Thus far, eight have signified
their intentions to compete in the
senior championship, which will
be spread over several days.
They are Edgar (Clark Gable)
ber, defending champion;
Ralph Jackson, Charles Cauff-
man, "BitS" Horner, Herbie john
son, Charles Towers, Joe Collins
and Leon McDougall. Towers was
last years junior champion and
is given an outside chance Of
winning the senior contest next
month.
Among the outstanding con-
tenders for the junior title are
Dick Claggett, wild" Bill Whiting
and Harry Irish" Kelley.
Although Claggett just started
riding the current season, he is
picked by Bieber and Collins to
win.
Dick is only is years old but he
is quite a lad, weighing 165
pounds and standing almost six
foot. He halls from Bieber's hang.

ships be held at Chicago in Sep
tember, as originally planned, the
local champions will compete. The
District Century Road Club, which
is apidly becoming famous
throughout the East for the way it
conducts its mpionS hip
matches, will finance the trip.
Much credit is due to Joe Collins
for the success of the organiza-
ton. He is not only the secretary
treasurer but publicity agent,
chief spokesman and organizer Of
many of the events.

I know that I have no reason
personally to like Saratoga.
The horses have never been par

last year they were positively
unkind. And the town has been
a trap to so many famous or
familiar figures Of the racing
scene during the last 10 years;
some of them my friends.

Sam Hildreth really died there
at the same time Mr.. Rowe did,

Sox, 9 to S, before 1000 fans
at Griffith Stadium yesterday.
The visiting North Carolina
boys tailed two runs on two
hits and an error in the second
inning to open up the contest
but this was not enough as the
local boys put over three runs
in their half. Hillsdale scored
one tally in the third, three in

fifth and sixth. The visitors
staged a rally and put across
three runs in the ninth.

years and years now. But never

Today, though, Tony's Blue

to q title-the section B second
half title of the National City

What brings about this situa-
Gion Is the Blue Flame mines

H. Crucial Battle
It was a crucial contest when
the two teams stalked to the
field crucial to the Blue Flames
at least. because a victory meant
the undiSputed lederShip of sec
ton B in the National City
League.
When the dust Of battle had
cleared-and it was swell battle
the Blue Flames had put a
S-to-3 triumph under their belts
much to Tony Burruto's salts
faction, who had Secretely hoped
and prayed that such a result
might occur.
Four runs in the fourth inning
actually decided the issue as the
Blue Goals could not fathom the
pitching Of Frank CorkinS when
hits might have meant the snatch
ing Of the game.
Interesting Results
While on the subject Of league
clashes, there were several other
interesting developments yeSter-

.TODAY's PROBABLE LINEUP
WASHINGTON
CHICAGO
By FRANK ('BUCK") ONEILL
Times Staff Writer

CHICAGO, July 23.-The quest
Of the Griffmen for a pitcher who
could win the nine inning ball
game he started ended yesterday
in st. Louis, where Joe Cronin
discovered the phenomenon Of the
diamond right in his own back
yard. The nine inning pitcher
was I'd Linke, recalled from the
Chattanooga Lookouts, and, be-
heve 1t or not, he beat the st.
Louis Browns.
Linke made quite a day of win
ming. He snapped two Streaks to
begin with. The Browns had won
seven straight while the Griffs,
thanks to anernic pitching and
spawned hitting, had contrived to
lose five straight. Now, with that
good hunting, and nothing but the
Chicago White Sox to beat, the
Griffs should prosper here.
Homer By Campbell
Linke's performance was moth
ing that looked like a perfect
game. On the other hand, the
Browns, walloped him for ten hits,
and included in this impressive
total was a home run by Camp.
bell, a long, rising line drive that
cleared the right field pavilion.
There was a triple oy Sammy
West that sang joyously as it got
past Red KresS in left field. No
matter how Kress looks at short
stop, we know now he is not a
left fielder.
Along with those long hits were
doubles by Strange and Pepper,
and Gill looked 50 strange as to
be positively unique in his efforts
to field the ball. For all the
hitting and the long range sock.
ing, Linke stood to his guns finely
and at the end walked off the
field well pleased. In fact, he
grabbed the last ball from Ed
Phillips and stuck it in his
pocket to be kept among his cher

Linke Hit Three-Bagger
By way Of adding an indi-
vidual touch, Linke Walloped q
triple to center, West playing the
ball in a manner that was rather
clumsy.
Disaster threatened the young
righthander in the fourth when
West singled and Gill bungled

half in this crisis and famed
Campbell. Melillo grounded to
Myer.
Linke escaped with two runs in
the fifth despite a single by
HemSley, a double by Strange,
and a triple by West, and in the
ninth he fought his way clear
after a homer by Campbell and
a double by Melillo. His control
was good throughout, and he is
sued no passes.
For the first time in a week or
more the Griffs made it easy for
their pitcher. They hammered
Knott out of the box in a hurry
and did pretty well with the long
succession Of st. Louis pitchers.
The GriffS put the game on ice
in the fourth when they scored
three runs. Hits by Cronin.

counted for the runs.
