are likely to give them the bust
ness and cop second.
Werber just about beat the
Griffs yesterday and in beating
them he showed a touch of the
genius that was Cobb's: the fire
that was Weaver's, and the power
that was Ruth's.
Werber hit home run over the
fence in the fourth inning of the
nightcap and tied the score. He
hit that ball with a smooth sweet
swing and a flick Of the wrists
that was reminiscent of Ruth at
his best. Maybe not as far as
some of the Bambino'S drives, but
long enough. It cleared the park.
In the eighth inning, with the
Sox trailing by run. the versa
tile Werber set out to demonstrate
how TyruS Raymond Cobb claimed
the bases for his own. He was on
third base. Melillo was on second.

did Frank pitch a great game,
but found sufficient time to slug
out three scorching singles.
However, the batting honors OF
the day went to Sammy Hook,
Murphy'S burly right fielder. He
drove in the winning run with a
burning single to left in the
third inning.
Porter Okay
Lefty" Porter worked on the
mound for Millers and did a
neat job.
He was touched for 10 hits in
the extra inning contest, but
looked very impressive at times.
You can't take the fact away
from him that he is a good
pitcher.
AS the Dixie Pigs also tri-
umphed, Murphy's went into tie
with the former for first place in
the Section A of the National City
Unlimited League. The Pigs and
Murphy'S have won three games
and lost none.
The Pigs easily took care of the
Cherner Motors, Is to S. Kark
Nau led the batting attack for
the winners with four hits in six
trips to the plate.
Behind the firSt-claSs pitching
of Charlie Booker, the Woodmen
of the World put the brakes on
the Capital Transit, 9 to 2, in the
feature game in Section B. Booker
allowed six scattered hits. This
was the fourth consecutive vic
tory for the Woodmen in the sec
ond half. And should they win
the remaining two games left on
their schedule they will be
crowned champions of Section B
as they won their first half title.
Becraft Stars
Warwicks tied Capital Transit
for second place by plastering
Georgetown A. c., IA to 8, Charlie
Mackie was the star for the vic

Smacking four hits himself.

and Travis on bases, Kress hit
down the left field foul line.
The ball bounced to Werber'S
left and away from third, but he
grabbed the ball, leaped to third
base, forcing Schultz, and then
like a shot threw in front of
Travis, forcing him at second. 1t
was a play that you see once in
some seasons. a play that called
for def handling of the ball and
swift thinking.
In the sixth inning Kress hit a
bad hopper down to Werber. The
ball hit him on the chest and
bounced away. It looked like a
possible life for the runner. But
Werber was on the ball like a
streak and with a fine throw got
Kress by half a step.
The writer has talked to half a
score or more veteran ballplayers
on the subject of Werber. They
Ill agree. He's the tops.

Yves Terrell hit a ball to Cecil

Bolton caught the perfect peg and
had a setup before him. But
Werber had his own ideas.
Werber started the slide, but
it was not a low, fall away. 1t
was the vicious leap OF Cobb'S.
Bolton had the ball and Werber
hit cliffs right hand WITH his
knee. Rather, he hit Cliffs wrist

knocked loose. The run was the

DETROIT, Aug. 12.-This is
just a little yarn aboEc the best
third baseman in the American
League, and it just so happens
that the best third Sacker is a
Berwyn lad who went into the big
cities and won ranking among the
good 'uns of all time. His name
is Billy Werber, and Just a few
days ago the good citizens of Ber-
wyn, Md, held a special day in
his honor at Griffith Stadium.
Werber put on a show of his
own during the three game series
against the Griffs in which the
Red Sox won two and climbed a
few points closer to third place, the
goal of their 1885 ambitions. Right
now they're a good bet to grab
that third notch, and unless the
Yankees watch their steps, the Sox

Frank "Buck" O'NeilIfor night base
ball. Boston will lead the fight
against it, supported, insiders say,
by Chicago and New York.
Frank j. Navin. of the Tigers,
is seen as opposed to night base
ball, but baseball men say he will
support his less fortunate col
leagues. The same is true of Alva
]. Bradley, president of the CleVe-
land Indians. If these owners
shift their support to washington,
Philadelphia and st. Louis, the
noble athletes will perform under
flood lights, just as they do in
Keokuk and other bush-league
towns.
Last Expediency
President Clark C. Griffith IS
prabbing at night baseball as a
last expediency in his business.
Griffith, one of the two survivors
of the old school, has always been
opposed to night baseball, he ridi-
culed the National League last
winter when the senior loop rati-
fled the calcium capers.
Connie Mack, the gentle and
venerable leader of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, has been op-
posed to the night pastime. The
executors of the Ball estate
bluntly refused to permit the
Cardinals to install lights for
night baseball, Scorning the game
on behalf of the Browns.
Time and vanishing bank de-
posts have worked changes in
mind and heart of club owners on
all fronts. Those who scoffed at
the experiment of the Cincinnati
Reds have marvelled at the re.
Spouse of the good burghers of
Redland. The financial state
ments of the Reds are written in
black ink for the first time since
1919.
1t requires no great training in
judging crowds to sense what is
happening to the Washington
ball club this season. Although
this writer is without definite in
formation on the real figures, it
is my guess that a distressing
financial loss has been suffered
so far. 1t is my guess that
further losses will be suffered I'M
less the team works some sort OF
miracle and starts to climb.
May Not Weather 1886
Griffith and the Washington
club probably can weather GER
tain loss this year, thanks to the
sale of Joe Cronin, but it is not
at all likely that Griffith could
weather a storm in 1886. That
is true of Philadelphia.
It is reported that Connie Mack
is in distress after a long and
honorable career in baseball
There is no one, we believe, who
could stand up and oppose the
appeal of Connie Mack, if grant
ing the right to play light base
ball would aid the Tioga seer in
recapturing his depleted fortune
The story of the st. Louis Browns
is a thrice-told tale. Clubs going
! into the Mound City are just
there for the scenery and a little
light exercise. They operate at
loss throughout the year.
It would be possible to transfer
| the franchise of the Browns to
some other ciiY. It is true. Such

customers who put it on the
line for those IA seconds Of
fighting in Chicago Wednes-
day night-several thousands
of whom went in hook for
as much as $40 for the ques-
tionable privilege of seeing
probably what was the worst de-
tense of himself a top-ranking
fighter ever made when King
Levinsky fumbled his biggest
opportunity in about 10 years
of professional fighting.
I think were I one of the afore-
said cash clients, I would have
been pretty red-headed thread
ing my way back downtown or
wherever I happened to be
making my pallet that night.
1t Just goes to prove the va
carries of matchmaking, as
Goldie Ahearn would tell you in
slightly different language, and
as frankie Mann has always
maintained in claiming match
making to be the most thank
less job in the land.
Can't Look Ahead
But I don't need to remind
any of you of the yelp that would
go up herein were Goldie or
frankie or Mr.. Fattso Cornell,
either, to ever make such a
match as the Louis-Kinkfishky
bout and offer it to Washing
ton at even so little as 1920
per plate, convert charge in
cluded.
Which gets me around to the
place I should have started in
the beginning. It is this:
Nobody seems to be able to
definitely predetermine what
will make a good ring attraction.
That which looks good on paper
often looks like what the cat
dragged in when you paint it
on canvas.
The matchmaker pairs off the
majority of bouts and the pub
lie Squawks in high dudgeon
and in low and middle, too.
But in the case of Louis and
Kingfishky, the public more or
less made that match, and dis
covered that matchmaking in
deed is not an exact or precise
science.
Asked For and Got It
Which is to say, and the at
tendance Wednesday nj h t
proved it, that the public de-
manded that the King, who is
no longer the King, and the
Blastin' Embalmer, who seems
to be the new King, meet. They
asked for that fight and they
got it. Barnum must have been
right.
1t all goes to show how little

criticising ring. matchmaking
know of the profession we so
easily and lightly berate.
