GREYHOUND REMAINS
CHOICE IN BIG TROT
40, 900, Jamming Goshen, Expect
ed to View Classic Harness
Race Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GOSHEN, N. Y, August 13.-While
the dozen principals in light
harness horse racing's greatest show
took only light workouts today, horse
lovers from city and farm began
gathering for the ninth renewal OF
the Habletonian Trotting Stakes to-
morrow.
Barring unfavorable weather a
crowd of more than 10000, the larg-
est in the history Of the sports rich
est stake, is expected to tax not only
the capacity of Good Time Park, but
the hospitality of all Goshen.
Upward of 5000 extra seats have
been erected. Hundreds are expected
to be forced to take to the infield.
Greyhound, a gray speedster owned
by E. j. Baker of st. Charles, Ill, re-
manned the choice to keep intact a
perfect 3-year-old record. There was
a growing belief among the horsemen
and laymen alike, however. that the
son of Guy Abbey would have to show
much more early speed than usual
If he carries of the major share of
the purse Of about $4,000.

EXCEPT for the difference that they

In plenty of diamond battles will be
no new sensation to Hensiek, slim,
dark -complexioned right-hander, who
hasn't said two words since joining
the Griffs. With Albany, from whence
he came, Phil worked in 43 games,
winning seven and losing eight with a
last-place club. He pitched between
1875 and 100 innings and allowed ap-
proximately one hit an inning.
To Judge by his record, Hensiek at
least must be able to get his pitches
across the plate, for he was charged
with only SO passes, while tanning IS.
Chiefly against him is his age. which
the record books reveal to be 80. Back
in 1924 he began his pro career,
pitching for Dyersburg of the Kitty
League. Since then he has played in
the Tri-State. Cotton State. Southern,
American Association and Interna-
tional Leagues. He was pitching for
Memphis 10 years ago.
His only other big-league trial was
with the White Sox in 1928, but he
failed to last long enough to face big
time batsmen. Yet this venerable
rookie, before he's had a chance to
throw a ball for Washington, almost
could be called the Nationals No. 1
relief pitcher.

Has Good Onnnrfunitx.


AS remarked before, Hensiek hardly
could do worse than Harris present
believers" If he does better, it will
be poor commentary indeed on the
work of Jack Russell, Whitley Hayes,
Henry Coppola and Petit, who have
been bearing the brunt of the most
recent relieving"
It takes much out of q ball club
TO lose close games with regularity
and the Nationals record for the en-
tire season is IL victories in games
won by single run and 10 defeats
Their record of only three wins in
the last dozen one-runners only has
stressed the growing weakness of the
relief staff.
Four Of the Red Sox's wins over the
Griffs have been by one-run mar
gins, while the Griffs have. whipped
Boston in similar manner only once.
The Tigers also hold a 4-to-1 edge
In games decided by a single run.
The Indians have taken three out
OF four games from Washington by
the narrowest of margins, and the
Browns have won two out of three.
In six 1-run tussles with the Ath-
letes an even break has been main
tanned. Ditto for games with the
White Sox. Only over the Yanks do
the Nationals hold an edge, and this
Is by four games to two. When it is
recalled that New York has won only
8 of 81 games decided by single
tally this feat is not particularly COM
rnendable.
Opportunity, Mr.. Hensiek, is knock
ing at your door. It's up to you to
turn the doorknob.

@HICAGO, August 13-They
I didn't call Rogers Hornsby

~ All washed up as the rajah
of tatsfnen he's the dictator supreme
so it seems, of the 1885 American
League pennant race, with his base

It is doubtful whether any manager
of a last-place club. excepting George
Stallings of the Boston Braves of 1914,
ever welded as much influence on a
pennant race as has the Rajah.
Things They Have Done.
AS PILOT of the lowly Browns he
has:
Paved the road to the top for De-
troit, losing II out of Is games to
the pennant-bound Tigers.
Opened the door to first place for
the same Tigers by whipping the
Yankees land his old enemy of Chi
cago Cub days. Joe Mccarthy three
out of four ami softening them up for
the on-rushing Tigers.
Traded plenty Of players, but none
of them to the Yankees or Tigers.
Blasted the pennant dream Of the
Chicago White Sox by winning three
and tying one in their last four-game
series when the White Sox were within
striking distance of the lead. The
defeats sent the men of Dykes on a
losing streak that totalled 10 today.
Halted Boston's rise to first divi-
sion, although the Red Sox were back
again, but with another st. Louis
series coming up.
Halted the winning streak of John
Whitehead, White Sox rookie pitch
ing star, at eight and sent him of on
a long losing streak.
Hold Edge on Boston.
AND yet, the Browns, 291a games
= away from the top today and ~
games away from seventh place. hold
9 winning edge over only one team
the Red Sox, whom they have de-
feated times in II games. They
have won only IS games out of 100
played, yet they have done more
damage to flag hopes than an army
Of chinch bugs on q good Iowa
farmers crops.
I'm glad we only have three more
games left against Hornsby," said
Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox. "That
must be potent stuff they're serving
in the American League cellar these
days. We didn't get dynamite to
drink when we were down there last

~ ETROIT, August 13.-"What's
the scorer"
That question, shouted
49, from Office buildings, across
the streets, from street cars and from
automobiles, reverberates over Detroit
today, indicative Of the frenzy Of
excitement that has gripped this base
ball-mad city.
Everybodys talking base ball.
On every street corner. in shops,
homes, Offices, the topic of conversa-
ton is the chance Detroit's Tigers
have of winning another American
League pennant. Last year Manager
Mickey Cochrane and a clawing band
of Bengals brought Detroit its first
flag in quarter of century. This
year, although world series time still
is many games away, world series

epidemic which old-timers say never
was surpassed. even when Hughie
Jennings brought three flags to De-
troit early in the century.

game from almost every store
front. Merchandise is only barely
visible through shop windows covered
by the score by innings" Fans
gather at their radio spots" every
afternoon-whether the Tigers are at
home or not.
When rain threatens on the morn
ing Of game days the Office at Navin
Field is deluged with so many tele-
phone calls extra operators are needed.
Club officials report floods of appli-
cations for reservations, particularly
for New York games. In cities through
out the State excitement also Is at
fever heat. Accounts Of the games
are announced through amplifying
systems to crowds which in several
cities have reached 5000. At Navin
Field may be seen hundreds of ears
carrying license plates from counties
as far as $50 miles north of Detroit.

jammed their way into the park, and
the game had to be held up until about
100 fans were chased on the high wall
surrounding the outfeld.

Quick Test for Hensiek.

THIS is where Hensiek enters the
picture. How long he will stay
In it is something else again.
IT haven't seen the fellow throw q
ball yet" confessed Harris, as he sent
the Griffs into a four-game battle
with the Tigers today, but I'm going
to find out, and right quickly, what
he's got
The first time need relief pitch
er Hensiek's going in. It's no gamble
He can't be worse than the others"
Hensiek, who reported to the Ma
tionals in Boston last Saturday was
described by President Clark Griffith
as being 81 years old. Harris was
somewhat appalled, to learn that the
newcomer never will see 80 again but
it affected his current resolution not
at all.
"1f he shows me he can do a pretty
fair job of relief pitching in this
Detroit SERIES" promised Bucky, I'll
even start him. We've got 20 games
to play in 16 days on this trip and
we'll need all the pitching We can
get. You can bet that if Hensiek can
bend 'em over the plate he'll be in
plenty of ball games"

Losing Close Ones Hurts.

unreasonable His "pitcherless
wonders" for the last couple of weeks,
have played at better than 500 clip,
which is quite an achievement in con-
trast to their 427 percentage for the
year. But Bucky is not satisfied.
Its losing the close games that get
under my skin asserts the Nationals
leader. who still is a little warm under
the collar after watching the Griffmen
drop the recent Boston series by a
2-to-l count in both games. Both
games lost we're by one run.
II don't mind losing our share Of
the close ones" Bucky continued, but
when We begin to lose almost all of
them, it's time to look for the root of
the trouble. And relief pitching is it.
Look here a moment. UP until
July we got pretty fair relief pitching
at times. That was because Leon
Petit was doing some fairly good work
and some of the other boys were little
better. But since July we've lost ex-
actly out of II one-run ball games.
That's inexcusable"

nor killed his spirit
Many a manager has watched his
team take the Boston tail-enders over
the hurdles. seen wally follow the
dribblers to the plate and mace one
out Of the park, and sighed, IF only
had him"
Berger has collected Is home runs,
% doubles and triples. He leads
the league in the number of runs
driven in with 95.
Berger had field day against the
Brooklyn Dodgers Sunday, totaling 13
bases in nine times at bat. Eleven
bases came in the first game Of the
double-header. when he hit a homer
with the bases crowded, a triple and
two doubles. The Braves lost both
games.
Casey Stengel, the Dodgers pilot,
sat in the dugout and unused aloud.
He was thinking Of the fellow who
has hit more homers than all the
Brooklyn outflelders put together.
"A guy like that on this ball team, I"
said Casey, would make Mrs. STEM
gels son very happy and the op-
ponents very sad. That's our big
trouble. We haven't a fellow who can
get up there in the pinches and hit
one out Of the lot"
Pirates Upset Reds.
ONLY one game was played in the
major leagues yesterday. The
Pittsburgh Pirates cut the Braves run
for bogey honors a bit when they de-
feated the seventh-place Cincinnati
Reds, IA.
The Pirates collected IL hits from
four Cincinnati hurlers as they won
the series, three games to two.
Pittsburgh scored three runs in the
first inning as AL Hollingsworth took
cover from the hit barrage.
Another rookie, Emmett Nelson, was
sent in to face the fire and did q good
job until the seventh inning when he
was taken out for a pinch hitter.
Don Brennan, third pitcher for the
Reds, yielded two runs In the last half
Of the seventh Benny Frey took over
the pitching task in the eighth.
Forest Jensen and Tom Padden got
three hits each for Pittsburgh. Red
Lucas started on the mound for the
Pirates, but he was relieved by Ralph
Birkofer after the fifth when the Reds
scored three times.

Staff'S Sad State.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

Stau correspondent OF Inc Star.
~ ETROIT, August 13.-Unless
there is a form reversal of al
most spectacular proportion
49, by what are called Washing
tons relief pitchers on the current
tour of the West, one bet you can
make and collect on is this:
That few, if any, of Bucky Harris
so-called relief hurlers will be back
next season.
When a big-league manager is
forced to look to a pitcher, who has
spent II years touring the minors it is
a pretty sad commentary on his slab
staff. And that is what Harris seemed
inclined to do today as the Griffs pre-
pared to open 20-game campaign in
the West.
Faced with four-game series against
the Tigers and White Sox, and six
game sets against the Indians and
Browns, Harris, in view of the circum-
stances, has little alternative but to
include Phil Hensiek of Albany promi-
nently in his plans.

TitIe-EWeII Sets Mark
for 220 Yards
ToHNNY BRoADDUs reached his

goal in Glen Echo's Crystal
Pool last night. Two months
ago, during one of his daily
workouts at the Shoreham, the sturdy.
heavily-tanned diver announced that
the outdoor high-board diving cham
pionship of the District was the
height of his ambitions, dismissing
the many times he had won the in
door title with shrug Of his broad
shoulders.
He wanted to beat Joe Lyman, to
capture the diving honors then held
by the former Central High star and
more recently of Brown University.
He had beaten Lyman in some Of the
Winter meets, but he wanted to take
him" in the open. Well, Lyman didn't
compete in the District A. A. U. af-
fair last night, but 1t is doubtful If
he could have beaten the Shoreham
star even If he had.
Scoring l2707 points, one Of the
highest totals OF the season, Broaddus
gave beautiful performance of grace
and form as he drew repeated ap-
plause during the required dives. John
Marshall, who finished only four
points behind Broaddus, came near
catching him during the optional
dives, but Broaddus' lead was too
great.
Makes Great Finish.
Johnny was not the only new cham
pion crowned last night. Bartlett
Ewen. Maryland Club Gardens star
and former Ohio State swimmer, came
from behind to take Ernie Bosgs' 220-
yard free-style title by a hand in the
most thrilling race of the evening,
and also created new District record
with the time Of 2:351s, beating the
old mark by five seconds.
Margaret Russell of Baltimore broke
the second District record last night
when she trimmed this city's two best
girl swimmers, Leonora Taube and
Betty O'Toole in the 180-yard three
stroke event in the time of 2:45. The
former record of 2:52 was held by
