catchers who don't shift, or
won't shift, are in the minor
leagues, where they belong"
So this agent recommends Red
mond to the fans of Washington
as youngster who will shift and
move-not as smoothly and as ex-
pertly as Charity used to shift
and move but with an agility that
will be pleasing. And here's an.
other prediction: Redmond will
be first string catcher before
many months pass. He has the
stuff and he wants to be a ball
player.
Miles In Right
Dee Miles will be in right field
this afternoon when the Griffs
go into action against the Cleve-
land Indians, and in all prob.
ability, Johnny Stone will play
left field, with Heinie Manush on
the bench for the afternoon.
Heinie is not out of the running
because Harris decided to rest
him for the day. He will be back
tomorrow or the next day under
the policy of alternating him and
Stone.
Whitley Hayes is slated to pitch
for the GriffS this afternoon and
in all probability Lee, the big left
handler will be on the hill for the
Indians.
The Griffs and Indians
scrambled around no little on the
sward yesterday afternoon, and
the Griffs had the winning run on
base when Alan Strange hit into
a double play that ended the
game. Walter Stewart picked on
the local until the ninth inning
when the zip suddenly left the
fast one and the curve hung in
stead of breaking. But all'S we'll
that ends well, and the Indians
walked off the field, victors on
Walter johnson Day.

The next inStallment Is bound
to be good because he will reveal
the identity of the man whom
Max Schmeling probably has no
intention of meeting at the Polo
Grounds in September.
1t is on this dubious errand
that two separate and slightly
hostile reception committees are
going down to greet Joseph at the
gangplank either Wednesday night
or Thursday morning, with the
gentleman strictly in favor of
Wednesday night. If it's dark
enough, he may be able to escape
detection by coming in disguised
as a Harvard man.
Rival Promoters
The committees will be made up
of rival promoters whom Joseph
has been blandishing with sharply
conflicting stories via cable, col
lect. These stating clearly on
alternate days - that Schmeling
will be delighted to meet Joe Louis
on September % and that Schme.
ling will positively not fail to meet
Max Baer on September "a. I'm
not certain of the exact dates, but
that's quite all right. Neither is
Joseph. He's just an old-faShioned
cable writer, collect.
One of the promoters is Mike
Jacobs, of the Twentieth Century
Club, who advanced Joseph $1,000
for the trip so that the latter
might not have to walk home by
way of the Malay Archipelago.
Joseph seems to have signed up
before leaving Madison Square
Garden for Schmeling to meet
Baer, but he didn't want to seem
unethical about it. So he kept
in touch with Mike constantly
about the Louis situation, collect.
Mike on Hand
I should, therefore, surmise
that Mike will be on hand with
something like $1,000 worth of
interest in Joseph's arrival, al
though he's prepared to dismiss
that matter if Joseph happens
to have a Louis agreement with
him. The Garden, meanwhile,
will be there to protect it's in

CHICAGO, July 23.-The thor

record to shoot at today.
Myrtlewood, a daughter Of Col.

have a difficult time solving the
shoots of southpaws ever so often,
particularly since lefthanded
pitchers are generally supposed to
be hard to hit anyhow.
At any rate, Kaplan has hurled
great ball for the Northeast dia-
monders and they can thank him
largely for their envious standing
as league leaders in the torrid
race which has been the rule
since the start of the season.
The youngster is due to swing
into action again Friday when his
Northeast Boys Club engages the
last-place MerrickS on Diamond
No. 4 at II a. m.
Another Win Seen
In this game, he should chalk
up another victory, since the Mer-
ricks are in last place and are not
figured to offer the sort of oppo-
Sition that a stronger club might.
One of the things Kaplan'S team

a triumph will be the lads strike
out efforts. So far this season,
Kaplan has averaged eight strike
outs per game. His highest total
was IA in one contest.
Nine teams are in the league,
incidentally. Washington Flour is
the Northeast mines chief rivals.
That entry has won five games
and lost one. The Irish Ramblers
hold down third place; Boys Club
of Washington, fourth; Oates A.
c., fifth; Georgetown A. c., sixth;
Y. M. C. A., seventh; Gibson GrayS,
eighth, and Merricks, ninth.
Four Games Ahead
Four games are scheduled to
make the rest of the week busy
one. The Gibson Grays play Y.
M. c. A. tomorrow on Diamond
No. 3 at II a. M, while the Irish
Ramblers meet the Boys Club of
Washington on Diamond No. 4.
Friday, the Oates A. c. opposes
the Georgetown A. C. on Diamond
No. 3 at II a. M, all the while
Kaplan and his Northeast Boys
Club teammates are playing the
Merricks on Diamond No. 4.

we're appointed to solicit funds for
the purpose of transporting the
American Legion baseball team to
the scene of the State tourney at
Pulaski meet tonight at the
Gazette office at 7:30.
A report on just how much is
needed to provide expenses for
the local junior nine will be given.
A public appeal was made a
short time ago following an an
nouncement to the effect that $50
would be needed before Friday.
Provided that the necessary sum
is not raised by that time. Alex
andria, for the first time in five
years, will not be represented in
the annual series. and conse-
quently the committee was ap-
pointed to handle incoming con-
tributions.
Although it has not yet been
revealed just how much has been
raised, it is a known fact that
the major part of the sum is still
forthcoming.
The committee includes Theo-
dore Beach. Slim Giles. Sidney
We'll, Billy Padgett, John Hamil-
ton, Izzy Bergman, James Cox
and Jack Tulloch.
Officials of the st. Mary's Gel
tics have been notified of plans

definite has heen revealed. men,
bers of the local club expressed
willingness to compete in such a
tourney.

up to a colossal failure. There
is also the possibility that Joseph

then suddenly avert his gaze.

frankie FrisCh
Pulls Fdst0ne
On Terry
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, July 23.-Frankie
Frisch pulled fast one on Bill
Terry yesterday and as a result
Frankie's six-minute eggs-the
Cardinals-area mere half game
behind the Giants today.
The field was so rain soaked
the tarpaulins were not removed
even for field practice. Frisch in
sisted on playing despite small
attendance because he knew Terry
would have to rely on Hal Schu-
macher who had had only two
days rest.
The wisdom of F'rankie's move
was shown when his rough and
ready crew piled into Prince Hal
for 10 hits and eight runs in three
innings. In the face of this i'm
posing handicap the Giants fought
gamely to amaSS II hits and five
runs off Wild Bill Hallahan, but
this was not enough.
have seen their nine-game lead
whitfield to a point where the
Cards can pass them by taking to-
days doubleheader.
In Bad Way
The Giants are in a bad way
for pitchers but they have shown
no disposition to curdle up and
die as they did last year. They
are slugging the ball and if they
can return home no more than a
game or two out of the lead, they
will have chance to regain lost
ground while the Cards are visit
ing enemy territory.
The Cubs, at least, gained
nothing by the Giants defeat for
the Dodgers knocked them off,
14-13, in the wooziest game of
the season.
Casey Stengel should reserve
those games for Brooklyn where
they truly appreciate the goofier
forms of dizziness. The Dodgers
made % hits, the Cubs, 20.
Galan'S homer in the ninth tied
the score. Lopez homer in the
tenth put them ahead again.
Cavaretta's homer the same inn
ing sewed it up once more. Then
in the eleventh the dizziness boys
put three hits together for the
winning marker.
The Braves halted their losing
streak at Is straight by knocking
over the Reds, a., and Ben
Cantwell, who had IA consecutive
personal losses got credit for the
victory, although he was not
around at the finish.
White SOx Win
And the Pirates rallied to top
the PhilS, 5-4. Bush, who re-
placed Banton in the eighth, was
credited with the decision.
Rain halted that long-awaited
crucial series between the YankS
and Tigers, but they'll have it in
q double bill today.
Meanwhile, the White Sox took
advantage of their idleneSS to
pick up a game on both by knock
ing over the AS, 1913. White
head outlasted five Mackian
pitchers and his boss-Jimmy
Dykes enlivened the proceedings
by stealing home.
Yves Terrell merriwelled for the
second day in row. Sunday his
ninth-inning pinch homer won a
game for Lefty Grove. Yesterday
he won his own by hitting an
other homer in the ninth to give
himself a 2-to-1 triumph over the
Browns. The big highlander of
the Red Sox yielded only seven
hits, while his mats got eight off
Coffman. It was his fifteenth
victory.

BY ROBERT BURKHARDT

Copyright, 1885, by United Press)
 Hollywood, Aug. 23.-(UP).- Will Rogers might have been one of the greatest political figures in the nation, had he chosen to sum- jugate his sense of humor and be- come a serious man of affairs.
 At various times he was suggest ed by thousands of people who recognized his qualities beneath his testing exterior for offices ranging from president of the United States down to city councilman. But these he always laughed off.
 Once when the demand that Will campaign for the United States senate became insistent, he an- swered with a vigorous "no."
 Too Many Comedians
 "There's already too many com. edians in congress" he explained. Competition would be too keen for me-
 Although he tried to maintain a semblance of neutrality in politics, and slammed republicans and democrats with strict impartia1ity, Rogers was a lifelong democrat. However, he studiously avoided partisanship and was often called into consultation by leaders of the c. o. P. as he was by his own or- ganization.
 In introducing the late Governor James Rolph at movie premier once, Rogers mentioned that Jimmy has the republicans jump ing through hoops in this state" and adde, personally I'm not a member of any organized party I'm democrat"
 Contributed To Democrats
 Rogers contributed literally, but
