Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 2O.-- (UP)-When you finish this story of Sinbad Asby please don't call me a whopping liar, because l cross my heart, hope to die, If 1t isn't the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
 Sinbad Asby, a shaggy, black and-tan mongrel, Is the eldest son of q police dog father and an aire- dale mother. He lives with his owner, Mir. Bill Asby, low handi- cap golfer, on the very edge of the Weston country club course at Weston, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. Sinbad's kennel stands fewer than ten yards from the markers of the seventeenth tee, and his five years have been filled with listening to talk of backswngs, open stances, and follow through.
 Sinbad Asby has but one passion in life-lost golf balls. Just as the pointers heart beats to the drum fire of partridge's wings, a hounds quickens to the fresh scent of deer, so does Sinbad's pound when he sees golf ball, torn by hook or slice, wing It's way off the fairway and into the rough. In his five years Sinbad has found thousands of lost golf balls He will not touch a ball on th' fairway, and he will not begin hi search in the rough until botl caddies and players have aban. doned their search and played an. other bali. once they have given a ball up for lost, however, Sinbad barking joyously, tears into the grass and bushes and begins his search.
 He never misses. And he brings the ball but to one person, his mas ter. If Mir. Asby does not happen to be on the course Sinbad, clench- ing the ball tightly in his mouth gailops to his kennel and drops it on the floor.
 | learned about sinbad during q party at Mir. Asby's home last night. It was nearing midnight when Mir. Asby, batting Sinbad's shaggy head, told me of his re- markable prowess. When ex- press disbelief, MT. Asby said "All right, If I take Sinbad out on the course now, in the middle of the night, and he finds q ball, will you believe me?"
 ] said would.
 So, in inky blackness, we walked out on the course, Sinbad going ahead, and whining softly. You couldn't see your hand before your face.
 "rhis is the middle of the six teenth fairway," Mir. Asby said, stopping. "Iil work him from here."
 He called sharply: "Go get 'em Sinbad!"
 The dog was off with a ringing bark.
 We couldn't see sinbad, but we could hear him. Barking like a hound chasing a deer, he tore through the rough. We could hear him root and paw. Round and round he circled. Then he sudden ly grew quiet.
 "Hes got one," MT. Asby said.
 "You're crazy" answered. "The dog is just out there in the wet grass playing"
 Something tore by my legs and stopped in front of MT. Asby.
 It was sinbad, and in his mouth was a practically new seventy-hve cent Krohite.
 We walked back to the house and MT. Asby, opening closet pulled out a burlap bag filled with hundreds of golf balls, and dropped Sinbad's newest find into 1t.
 "Good doggy!" MT. Asby said batting Sinbad's head. And to me;

Words Doubles Cron May LeaDe S. First Time Since 1919
VAUGHN HEADED
 FOR SURE SPOT AS 400 HITTER
May Have Second Best Average in 37 Years at
 Current Clip
BY HENRY SUPER Limited Press Staff CorrespOndentl

New York, Aug. 20. - (UP) - Floyd "Arky" Vaughan, stocky Pittsburgh Pirate shortstop may become the third national league slugger in 37 years to hit better than 400 in one season. Vaughan, 23-year-old Arkansas youth playing his fourth season in the majors, has hovered around 400 ever since the current cam paign started. At his present clip he seems cinch to join Bill Terry of the New York Giants and Rog- CTS Hornsby, manager of the St. Louis Browns, as the only National leaguers to surpass 400. Vaughan now is batting .407, 30 percentage points better than his nearest rival, Joe Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals, and far and away better than any other player in the league. He has made 153 hits in 376 times at bat and driven in 7S runs.
 The brown-h headed Arkansas slugger's rise to eading batsman of his circuit has been meteroic. After only year in the minors, he went to Pittsburgh in 1892. He played 129 games and batted .31S. The fol- lowing year he dropped to .314 but last year boosted his average to .333.
 At his present rate, Vaughan may turn in the second highest Ma tional batting average in 37 years. Terry hit .401 five years ago. Hornsby, then with the Cardinals, cracked .401 in 1922, hit his peak pear in 1924 with .424 and drop ped to .403 in 1925---his last as a 400 hitter.
 Vaughan's batting spree was temporarily halted yesterday. The Pirates were idle because they had played their game with Brooklyn on former date. Only two Ma tional league games were played. with the leading New York Giants increasing their margin over the idle St. Louis Cardinals to three games with 10-inning, 4-3 victory over Cincinnati. The Chicago Cubs went into a virtual tie with the Cardinals by defeating Philadel- phia, 2-1. Both are three games be- hind the Giants but the Cards have a seven point adanvtage in the per- centage column.
 In the American league Detroit had its first-place margin cut to seven games as they lost, 7-5, to the runner-up New York Yankees. George Selkirk was the hero of the Yankee drive with three singles and two doubles Tn five times at bat, driving in four runs.
 Cleveland tied Chicago for fourth place by defeating Washington, H. 5, while the White Sox divided a double-header with Philadelphia, winning the opener, 7-2, and los ing the second game, S-4. The Bos- ton-St. Louis game was rained out. YESTERDAY'S HERO: Dick Bartell, Giant infielder, whose hit in the tenth scored Mel Ott with the run that defeated Cincinnati.

 Miss Miley many times Kentuc- ky State and Southern champion this year added the Trans Missi- . ssiippi crown to her long string of victories, and only last week es- tablished herself as one of the outstanding favorites to carry off the honors in the Womens Ma tional at Minneapolis the last of this month, by capturing the Western at Cleveland. Marion daughter of Fred Miley, famous golf instructor at the Lexington Country Club, proved real cham pion in the Western when she defeated Miss Dorothy Traung one of the ranking golfers in the coun- try in the first round by score of and 4. She continued her strings of wins having her hardest match in the semi-finals when after be- ing down at the turn, and fin ally 2 and evened the match on the IS and went on to win at the 18th.

NEW BRITAIN CITY HEADS ASKED FOR
 ENCLOSED FIELD
Clancy to Head Petitioners to City Council This
 Week

New Britain, Aug. 20.-Renewed interest is being shown in the building of an inclosed sports field here in which all manner of outdoor sports could be conducted on large scale as in some other cities of the state and a petition asking the common council to give consideration to such a project will be heard at the next meeting of that body.
 William Clancy who has been a leader in promoting sports events here during the past several years said Wednesday that the city own ed property opposite Willow Brook park is being suggested as a suit able puace, in the petition.
 For years the strip of land run ming eastward from the juncture to the railroad tracks has been a rough tract, pitted with water holes, but of late 1t has been rapidly filled in by making 1t a dumping ground for rubbish and, with layers of dirt above the debris. 1t is now a comparatively level and sizeable plot. It would easily accommodate an inclosed field and parking area, MT. Clancy said.
 The city has no inclosed field suitable. for conducting exhibition baseball or football games or hold ing other sports events where a sizeable attendance would be need ed. Willow Brook Park has the football field inclosed by a wire fence which does not prevent on- lockers from staying outside and observing events held there. A field surrounded by high board fence has been sought for some time in order to make "big events possi- ole here.
 Mir. Clancy said he believes such an inclosure coud be built without much cost to the city. Posts for uprights can be obtained on some of the clty's property in the Bur ,ington area and used lumber would be satisfactory for the board fence. Parts of the fence. he said, would be paid for by firms who would use sections of the fence for advertis- ing. Labor for the construction of the fence and grading of grounds within 1t may possibly be obtained through making the job WPA project. he believes.

w YHERE are the sailors who
\A/ manned Navy's foot ball
wv turrets of other years, who
tossed the aerial bombs
and split the goal posts with kicks as
accurate as blasts from their 6-inch
guns?
One of Navy's early stars, Admiral
Joseph NJ Reeves. now commands the
American fleet at sea. He is remem-
bered as the 1894 gridder who intro
duced the foot ball headgear now in
use. He wore it to protect an ear in
jury.
Others who rose to the rank of ad-
miral and rear admiral are William V.
Pratt, former chief Of naval opera
tions, who was a line-smacking full
back and now retired and living in
Maine; Noble E. Irwin, Navy center,
who retired and resides in Annapolis,
Md; L. c. Palmer, halfback, who
resigned and lives in New York, and
John Halligan, an all-time Navy
guard, who died last year.
Perhaps the greatest Of all Navy
backs, John Dalton, died in 1919,
while Charles Belknap, another fine
guard, resigned as commander and
lives in Boston.
Bill Ingram, whom Tars regard as
Navy's all-time quarterback. resigned

UNBEATEN CORSAIRS
LOSE TO MARYLAND
Benner, Lateral Pass Play Fea-
ture Local Teams 27.to.0
Triumph.

Safely over another hurdle in its
path toward an undefeated season,
the Maryland A. c. added the Fred
ericksburg Corsairs to its list of 1885
foot ball victims today after thrill
ling victory under the foodlights at
Griffith Stadium. The score was 27
to 0.
Again featuring Quarterback Willis
Benner. the Marylanders spoiled the
hitherto unmarried record of the Vir-
ginians with sustained offensives in
the first and final periods, scoring
twice in each of the quarters. Benner
crossed the line three times while
Frank Cumberland made the other
touchdown in the most sensational
play of the game
Bill Andorka, former University of
Maryland center, shone defensively
Andorka intercepted two Corsair
passes, paving the way for touchdowns
both times. In the fourth period
Andorka grabbed a Fredericksburg
pass on his own 20-yard line, ran to
his so, and tipped lateral to Cum
berland as he was about to be tackled.
Cumberland ran the remaining so
yards for the touchdown.
Johnny Fenlon, former George
Washington University backfield star,
was the handspring of the Fred
ericksburg attack which lacked the
necessary punch, although the Cor
sairs threatened deep in Maryland
territory on several occasions.

Guard Against Barnum.

THEREFORE, it looks as though
the tilt Saturday will be not only
a battle between the Notre Dame and
the Warner styles o. play but game
of passing versus powerhouse rum
ming attack.
The Cards are building their de-
fense against the running Of Lee
Barnum, one Of the best fullbacks
in the East this season.
Aside from his stellar line cracking.
Barnum can sweep the ends with
equal effect. For interference he has
a pair of blockers in Peterson and
Warfield. whom Coach Ross of Wes-
leyan credits with most of Barnum's
success.
Plans continue to go forward for the
largest homecoming gathering ever
undertaken by the local chapter Of
the Catholic University Lay Alumni
for next week, the highlight of which
will be the c. U.-WeStern Maryland
clash. Another meeting of the COM
mittee, called by Jack Prior, general
chairman of the affair, has been
called for next Monday, at which
time novelty stunts for the Western
Maryland game will be worked out.

Yesterday that the homecoming game
was listed this week, with West Vir-
