AS soon as your Editor has had
a chance to sever out all the mail,
the long awaited announcement
will come.
A majority of the teams have
had seven of the 10 right. Others
have been correct with eight out
of 10. Thus far, however, none
of the selections have been letter
perfect, either in selections or
batting order.
Many Baseball Fans
It's tedious business, this "sever-
ing OUT" but on the whole inter-

girls, sweethearts and pals, we
didn't realize there are so many
baseball fans in Washington and
vicinity.
Our big hope is that the next
pile of mail we wade into will find
the selections and batting orders
nearer to Babe Ruth's. It's i'm.

Fighting Grid
Combination
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL


A tired band of Navy football
players trudged off the field at An
napolis yesterday. 1t had been a
trying day for the boys. Before
donning the work uniforms, the
boys had attired themselves in
dress" blue and gold to pose for
the cameras. There was ever the
demand for Gust one more" pose.
Some day cameraman is going to
achieve fame by taking the picture
the first time. He will be named
zone Shot" Clancy, or maybe
Jones, but immortality in the craft
will be his.
You see those Navy boys in their
uniforms and they look big. You
watch them leave the gymnasium
after practice in their white ducks
and they look like kids; which is
exactly what they are. Fine,
healthy American boys with burn
ing ambition for a career in the
service of their country.
Boys Like Football
The football playing is part of
the work of the academy. It is
elective work, but the boys love it
despite the hard knocks. That's
why service football is different.
Even the coaches are a bit diff
ferent. You sit in the spacious
rooms Of the Officers Club and
chat with Lieut.. Tom Hamilton.
He talks without reserve. Every.
thing is for publication. When
Navy stands down the field this
fall, it will be represented by a
team that will be a fighting team.
a team to live up to the finest
traditions of teams that have
worn the colors before.
II won't claim a great team
for Navy" Lieutenant Hamilton
said as we drank a jolly toast
to the eleven. 1--WE have a long
way to go with men like Buzz
Berries, Slade Cutter and Rob
ertShaw to replace. But we
know the quality of competition
that Navy always gives. We will
go two deep in some spots;
three deep in others. We will
have two teams that will give a
real game of football. Beyond
that I can't say much.
"My heart is in football at the
time, and Pm thinking only in
terms of football. We will use
the single wing, q modified
double wing, and of course we
will have the customary punt
formation which is somewhat
different from the punt fOrma-
ton Of most teams"
what do you think Of the
team so far?" We asked this
daShing young coach and
aviator.
1--WE really don't know too
much about the boys yet. We
have nearly 20 men back from
last years squad. We have a
dozen men from the plebe team.
Looks all right" he said.
The work was trying on boys
and coaches alike yesterday. 1t

HSSSS1 SAAS
Anyhow, it's said to be as simple
as that, although Perry took on
Ellsworth Vines, the professional,
in a practice match yesterday and
looked as though he was playing
the consolation singles in pub
lie parks event. Vines won in
three straight sets. Somehow,
with Grant and Bulge coming up,
I'm beginning to think that there
may be a flutter or two in this
very sedate championship yet.
Six CaIifOrnians Survive
With six Californians surviving,
the women also will get down to
the quarterfinals with two
matches today, both good.
In the first of these, the. Wight
man Cup players, Carolin Babcock,
Los Angeles, and Kay Stammers,
of England, will have at it, repeat
ing their quarterfinals meeting OF
last year, when Miss Stammers
won two out of three sets. Shell
probably repeat that, too.
The other match will team up
two more ladies from the coast,
Alice Marble and Cracyn Wheeler,
with a chance of an upset here.
Miss Marble, prevent favorite,
played some pretty haggard tennis
yesterday in getting away with a
Straight-set win over Katherine
Winthrop, of Boston. Anyhow, she
didn't look like lady who might
greatly trouble Champion Helen
Jacobs and now, for all I know,
she mightn't even get that far.
Injury Has Little Effect
Miss Jacobs played with a ban
daged right thumb yesterday, but,
if this had any effect upon her
stroking, this wasn't apparent to
the reportorial eye. She won pretty
much as she fancied from Mrs. Vir-
GINA Rice Johnson, of Boston.
Miss Jacobs in other words
seems to have less to beat than
Perry in going for her third
straight championship-and, by
all accounts Perry hasn't too
much.
Culley hardly figures today. He
got away with Sidney Wood few
days ago, more from the fact that
Wood was bad than that he him.
self was good. Van Ryn beat
Bobby Riggs the same day, hitting
out with unwonted control from
the base line, where usually he Is
terrible. I look for him to be ter
rible all over again today. AS a
matter of fact, when they're not
prepared to be terrible, Grant
makes them that way.
Just Remember Wimbledon!
He beat Vines in the Semifinals
here four years ago and one pre-
sumes that, under given circum-
stances, he could do the same to
Perry. But one would presume
more if one didn't remember what
Perry did to Grant at Wimbledon.
Nevertheless, there is a feeling
that action impendS in this tour
nament. 1t simply can't be as
bad as it looks.

The Mayor of Foggy
Bottom cut no corners.
His road to the threshold of
bidding for national fame has
reeked with setbacks enough
to have discouraged a less con-
fident man.
He has fought some good
fights and he has fought some
poor ones. But determination
has kept him at the profession
he started 16 years ago. Many
of his closest advisers believe
an impressive success is at
hand.
Yes, Marty first took up the
boxing gloves back in 1920 in the
little stable that Frankie Mann
had turned into a gymnasium on
Fifteenth Street, Northeast.
Started at 1874 Pounds
Gallagher weighed 1874 pounds
at the time, and was sent to Mann
by Sam Beard, who was the en-
ployer of Martyrs older brother,
Jimmy. Both Sam and Jimmy
thought Marty had a great fight
ing future ahead.
Mann struggled along with
Marty for three years, intoxicating
in him the rudamentS of boxing
and doing his best to teach Gal
lagher coordination of mind and
muscle.
After such a span under the
handling of Mann, Gallagher
made a contract with John Blick,
who retained Mann as trainer.
Gallagher's outstanding fight
under Blick was his stand-off with
Henry Lamar at Silver Spring.
Blick also promoted the fight, and
Charlie Short refereed.
Growing tired of the Blick man
agement, Gallagher awaited the
day when he would turn 81, which
occasion he embraced to take
Blick into court and break a con-
tract made while Marty was a
minor.
Brother Jimmy then stepped
into the picture and was in charge
of his younger kin for about a
year.
Went With Carroll
BY now Gallagher was begin
ming to feel his puglistic oats, so to
speak, He wanted a wider field OF
operation and sought an arrange
ment whereby he would go to BoS-
ton under the tutelage of Dan Car
roll, who also piloted Jimmy Ma
1oney and Sammy Fuller, be-
times.
This managerial coalition went
along for a year and more, when
Gallagher suffered another change
of mind and sought new handler
in the person of Harry Groves, a
local trainer who has had some
success with Fur and Tow, but
ultimately divorced both.
Gallagher and Groves were hit
ting it up at a great pace until

The Wanderer, explained by Kell Larson was chartered by the Sea Scout officers last Saturday even ing for a trip to Excursion Inlet to inspect the Forester, recently do mated to the Sea Scouts by Archie Shiels of the Pacific American Fisheries.
 Among those who made the trip were, Capt. Bayers, Mate Syd Den nison, second mate D. A. Naish, third mate Kell Larson and George Larson. The Sea Scouts who were in the party included Grant Ritter, Kenneth Lea, George Gullufson, Harold Hansen, Mike Danieloff and Gilbert DeVault
 The boys were made to stand two hour watches during the trip and steer the boat solely by compass. They were also given instruction re- garding plotting courses, entering in the log, splicing and how to read charts.
 Upon arriving at the P. A. F. cannery the boys went ashore for an inspection of the Forester and found that it will need caulking and painting. All, however, express ed great satisfaction with the ves- sel
 It was learned from MT. Syres of the A. P. S. cannery that it would be impossible to launch the Fores- ter which is on the ways near the eannery until next Tuesday as the tides at this time are very small.
