were torn between watching
this typical winter scene or en-
joying the luxuriously ap.
pointed drawing room which
was fragrant with the scent
of roses and other rare blooms

in the dining room proved a
most inviting place to linger.
Many Out SIeighing
There was a great demand
yesterday for sleighs, and the
riding academies, which ap-
parently are the only places
possible to procure them, were
deluged with calls. Among
those who availed themselves
of the opportunity to drive
through the residential section
and along the roads in nearby
Maryland and Virginia were
the Jouett Shouse family, Mrs.
Shouse's son, william, and
daughter, Joan, taking great
delight in being bundled into

daughter of the Senator from
Michigan and Mrs. Couzens;
Mrs. Evelyn Walker, the Tewks-
bury sisters, Jasper DuBose and
any number of girls from the
smart finishing schools here,
who took turns in driving each
other about, for the supply of
sleighs was limited and the de-
mand great.

Otto Saltzgaver broke into the
game as a pinch hitter in the
seventh and cracked a single.
Newsom had two strikes on him
and then tried to sneak a fast
one through the middle.
Two Fine Chances
Lou Gehrig had two fine
chances to produce runs and
flivvered. He came to the bat
in the fifth inning with two on
bases and two out and popped
to Kress. In the seventh, with
Rolfe on second and two out
Lou waited to Myer.
Malone had a tough time Of
it in the seventh inning. He
threw wild on a bunt and then
let a grounder by Kress go
through his legs, all of which
aided in scoring four runs.

'Shdnty' Hogan
Gets Release

BOSTON. Aug. 5. - Frank
"Shanty" Hogan, catcher of the
Boston Braves, today was given
his unconditional release by Bill
McKechnie as the first official act
of the new general manager of the
Tribe following the retirement of
Judge Emil Fuchs.
Hogan formerly played with the
Giants and was a product of the
sandlots of Somerville.
Hogan, whose downfall from
baseball heights was blamed on
too much good food and beer, was
a slugger and pitcher in his
Somerville High School days. He
went to the Lynn club, of the New
England League, and was made
over into a catcher by King Bader.
Next he went to the farm OF
the Braves, the Providence (R. -
Eastern League club. He came
here with the Braves for a few
years and then was traded to the
New York Giants for heavy pur-
chase price and several players.
After two years he returned to the
Braves,

GR|ST OF THE GRIFFS

Buck Newsom complained bit
terly over a decision by Quinn on
Lazzeri. It seemed as if the
pitcher had struck out Tony on d
very nifty curve. But Quinn
called the service a ball. Newsom
cussed out the official in tones
audible in the stands. Which is
most reprehensible, Buck; most
reprehensible.
Red Kress, who is the dramatic
figure in baseball this year, got a

Tow Is Favored
Over Mitchell
Tonight

Battling for the right to meet
Marty Gallagher in the grand
finale of 10 scheduled rounds at
Griffith Stadium tonight will be
Bob Tow, Alexandria's handsome
bus driver, and tough Terry
Mitchell, Jack Sharkey's Boston
Irish protege.
One of the widest, toughest
and hardest hitting heavyweights
to invade Washington. Mitchell
recently gained high favor here
by virtue of his spectacular win
over Joe Lipps, punching hard
with a left hook which he loops
over in fashion strikingly remind
full of Kingfish Levinsky.
Coming back to the ring after
an enforced lay-off of eight
months because of a dislocated
shoulder, Tow insists he is in the
finest fighting shape of his career.
Despite Bob's inactivity and
Mitchell's great hit in his debut
here, indications today were that
the Alexandria Adonis probably
will be established on the long
end of 7-to-5 odds at bell time.
In the semifinal number, one of
three six-rounders, crowd-pleasing
Joe Lipps comes back by popular
demand against young Lou La
Page.
A natural rivalry features the
squaring off of Kirkwood Burke
and Steve Kadash, Burke last
spring being accused of running
out on Kadash on an amateur
show here
Roy Manley and frankie Blair,
welterweights, box the remaining
six-rounder.
Henry Irving and Mickey Elan
nigan, both potent punchers, open
with a four-rounder at $50.

about johnson during the 1924
world series.
Vindicates Evans
johnson was past his best years
at the time, but came back in
the final game of that tremendous
series in Washington to vindi-
cate Evans with one Of the most
courageous performances til e
writer has ever seen. But Evans
didn't want vindication. His
anger had been inspired by Loyal.
ty, rather than conviction.
Too bad some of Mr.. Evans
ball players in Cleveland didn't
feel the same way about it.
However, there appears to be
no alternative but to accept the
dictum that Johnson, as a mana.
ger, simply will not do. He has
had his chance in Washington,
Newark and Cleveland and failed
with quite convincing consistency.
But that was only as an execu-
tive.
AS a human being, no greater
success has ever been known to
the ball field.

BIZ FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL

Aside from the element of sur
prise and it's possible advantage
in baseball and war, the fact that
Travis practiced in center field
was Of interest to Washington
fans. He seemed thoroughly at
home in the outfield, moving back
or coming in with easy stride. He
took the ball in front Of him with
the utmost certainty. Travis
broke nicely on the ball and gave
every indication of true ability as
an outfielder.
Lazzeri and Chapman were in
collision trying for Kuhels pop
fly in the first inning. It was
Chapman's ball, and for mo-
ment it looked as if Chappie had
been hurt by LazZeri's head.
Selkirk saved himself an error
by making a perfect throw to cut
down Kuhel in the third inning.
George stumbled and lost the
ball, but recovered to make his
play. AS the inning was played
it saved the Yanks a run.

day with baseball after % years
of magnificent service. He has
resigned as manager of the Cleve-
land Indians because men who
admired him could neither fear
him nor respect his authority.
The club will now be managed
by a man who may be less kind,
less noble. But more successful.
The Indians were expected by
many to win the American
League pennant this year. In
stead, they are we'll into the sec
ond division and, rightly or
wrongly, the blame went back to
Johnson.
He was, I suppose. a poor
manager. but somehow that hard
ly seems to matter in the face
of the fact that he was a great
human being.
Johnson's greatness, of course,
started on the pitching mound
where from 1907 to 1920 and later
he literally blew all opposition
over with the binding speed of
his fast ball.
