FINISH PLAYGROUND
DOUBLES TOMORROW
Ace Pairs to Replay Match That
Was Halted at SAIL in
Fifth Set Last Sunday.

NIASHINGTON'S 1885 tennis season
w is scheduled to be brought to an
official close tomorrow. instead of
Sunday afternoon. with the arrange
ment to replay at that time the dou-
bles match for the Playground De-
partment's first annual tournament
between Dooley Mitchell and Tom
Marley against Barney Welsh and
Ralph McElvenny Action will start
at 2:30 o'clock on the Potomac Park
courts.
Net fans, their imagination whetted
by last Sundays three-hour thriller
which ended in a drawn match, ex-
pected to throng the courts for what
will be the last glimpse of the quar-
tet which has given them more thrills
per minute this. season than any other
continuation. Not once this season
has a doubles match between these
teams been decided in less than three
hours. At every meeting, however
Welsh and McElvenny. the national
public parks champions, have re-
turned victorious.
Sets stood at two-all and the score
in the fifth was SIS last Sunday
when Mitchell suffered a cramp in
his leg. necessitating halt in play
Rather than resume action at that
point and run the risk of a hot
hand of either team winning the
championship by taking the first two
games, it was decided to replay the
match in its entirety.

putting luck, inhaled highball for

At Augusta this last Spring still

out a SO.
He was back OF Georgia pines.
In bunkers and bitches and
heavy rough, but he always
had the recovery needed to get
his par.
In my opinion Hagen, starting from
New York and playing every type Of
course and every type of putting
green to Los Angeles. day after day,
sun or rain. could have beaten any
golfer in the world by rather de-
cisive margin.
The answer is that none Of the
stars who toured with him for 20
years ever held the winning margin in
this cross-coLrtry golf-moving from
town to town on an extended tour.
Another unusual feature is that
Hagen today is better golfer than
he was 10 or 20 years ago. He has
just as much power and far better
control If he could ever locate that
once f1awless putting stroke he still
would be winning his share of opens.
Considering ali the intimate details
he still is the incredible man OF
sport.

RUM0R HAS MYER

BY FRANCIS E. STAN,

Buddy Myer read in the public prints
where he'll be playing second base

Shifting its attention from pugllisin
to base ball momentarily the big
towns press painted picture of the
Washington star wearing a New York
uniform. The theme was inspired by
Clark Griffith's recent conference with
Joe Mccarthy and Ed Barrow of the
Yanks.
1t drew laugh from Bucky Har-
ris. as his Nationals today entrained
for Philadelphia to wind up the sea-
son, and Secretary Eddie Eynon, jr.,
chimed in with an unappreciatiye
"Humph," which sincerely indicated
that in all probability the much
publicized Mr.. Myer will continue to
get his pay checks from Griff.
But at the risk of being charged
with triple distilled hypocrisy, this
scribe would like to suggest that things
may have been going on during the

Cubs Chronic Series Losers.

-ODN.S'
THE Cubs have made a poor showing
in the world series since the early
pennant days of Frank Chance. but
that may not be much encouragement
to Tiger supporters. Chicago polished
of Detroit twice in succession the
last time they tangled, in 1907 and
1908.
Since then the Cubs have been
trimmed four times by the American
League champions. winning only four
out Of 20 games played.
More to the point from Detroit s
angle is the fact that the current
Cubs include few regulars with world
series experience. Billy Herman
Gabby Hartnett. Billy urges, Lon
Warneke and Charley Root are the
only men who can be classed as regu-
lars of the team that was slaughtered
in 1882 by the Yankees Frank Dema-
rec and Stanley Hack, regulars now
were substitutes then.

Detroit Cogs Wearing Out.

GRIFF set the stage when he went
into huddle with Barrow on the
day Of the Louis-Baer fight. Then
the cast of characters was enlarged
yesterday when Owner Tom Yawkey
and Manager Joe Cronin of the Req
Sox arrived and watched the Griffs'
4-to-2 defeat by the Yanks. Messrs.
Yawkey and Cronin, for no specific
reason, preceded the Red Sox to this
town, in which the Sox don't play
until tomorrow.
The theories of the plot are as
follows:
The popular belief among base ball
men is that too many Detroit cogs
are wearing out to prompt wide
spread belief that the Tigers will
spreadeagle the field again next year.
The Red Sox. who are suspected Of a
plot to land Jimmy Foxx, Roger
Cramer and Pinky Higgins of the
Athletics, may enter the 1886 cam
paign as favorites if they land the
Philadelphia trio.

When the Yanks won q Atop VIC

Incidentally, most Of the blame for

directly to the Yankees and Cleveland
Indians. In winning yesterday the
New Yorks made it IS victories in the

If Washington had been able to

troit. where it was ended in shower
Of fruit and vegetables a year ago.
No matter what steps. if any. are
taken to prevent recurrence of such
riotous conduct by Tiger fans, it ap-
pears certain that Joe Medwick, target
for the 1884 shower, will be missing
along with the rest of the st. Louis
gas house gang.
It's yet to be settled definitely. but
you can write your own ticket on the
proposition that Lon Warneke. pride
of the OzarkS, and the sensational
Chicago Cubs will fling this years Ma.
tienal League challenge to the two.
time American League champions.
All of which gives the Tigers some
thing to ponder about for the second
year in row. Last season, Mickey
Cochrane and his battering Bengals
were all set to grapple with the New
mails climbing all over them.
1t went the limit OF seven games
before the Tigers yielded. 1t was a
bitter setback to Cochrane. He and
his men wanted revenge. They
thought they were going to have q
chance to get it at the expense Of
the Dean boys, particularly Dizzy.
Experience Helps Tigers.
JUST give us another crack at tina
guy" said Mickey not long ago
But if the Deans are present, like
ly it will be in the capacity of spec
tators. watching an attempt by the
Cubs to make it three world cham
pionships in a row for the Nationa
League.
The Cubs have been the hot" Ma
tional League team since the first OF
September, when they began theil
spectacular winning streak. They ex-
pect to have the same kind Of mo-
mentum that carried the Cardinal,
to victory in 1884 and the Giants tc
the top in 1888. They didn't take til:
lead until September ii.
It's vital point to be considered
in doping" the outcome of the
series.
The Tigers nave had nothing Il
worry about since they put on thei
midseason drive and shook off TIT
Yankees. Cochrane's crew clinchec
the flag Saturday.
Again they must wait around I,
find out who they will meet in the BIZ
series. The strain was such yea
ago that the iron man" Tiger infielt
had bad case of ''jitters" on opening
day.
This year, things should be differ
ent. The Tigers have experience now
plus additional confidence, just a
much power and the same capabl
pitching resources. Bridges. Rowe

1t might be said here that you

You never can tell just when he de-

the first place, his feat of winning
20 out of 80 consecutive P. G. A.

Hitting Washington pitchers with
