two great run-makers and base
hit producers.
We had a fine demonstration
Of this in the series with the
Browns. Chapman was on second
base. He flashed a sign that he
was going to steal third. Lewis
answered and advertised his inten-
ton to bunt the next pitch. What
happened?
Cliff, the st. Louis third sacker,
charged in, leaving third base wide
open. Chapman saw Cliff break
to field the threatened bunt, and
stole third base. Lewis, seeing the
bag open and the third baSeman
in, looked at the pitch and Chap
man went into third standing up.
If Cliff had remained on third,
Lewis would have hunted, and in
all probability would have made
safe hit.
Working with a speedster like
Chapman, we have a new value
set for Lewis. These two may go
down in the annals of baseball
with Keller and McGraw of the
old Orioles, Collins and Baker of
the Athletics of 1904, Young and
Kelley of the Giants Of .'21, Craw-
ford and Cobb of the Detroit
Tigers. We've set fast company
for Chappie and Buddy, but they're
up to the task unless every indi-
cation goes for naught.

He says why be blue. There's

throughout the country praised
Rippy for his fine craftsmanship
in the tourney. They see bright

Gutenberg put up a whale Of
a game in defeating the veteran
Pat Deck. What really won the
match for him was his GOODNESS

his backhand was just about in
vincible.
Sara Moore was given quite a

Dorette Miller despite the one

The doubles match was quite in

To Train For
Grid Game

With September l in his minds
eye, fluffy Leemans, Of George
Washington University, today quit
his job as director of the Mitchell
Playground and packed his bags
preparatory to leaving tomorrow
for North Beach, Md, where he
will go into training.
September is the date set for
the annual all-American college
football battle against the profes-
Sional champions Of the world, this
year the Detroit Lions. The game
will be played at Soldier Field,
Chicago.
Leemans was one Of so collegi.
ate stars chosen by a national
poll to oppose the professional
champions. He will report to
the collegiate all-stars' training
camp, Northwestern University,
Evanston, ILL.,, on August Is, and
according to none other than
himself, proposes to be in top
shape by the time he reports for
intensive practice.
Said Tuffy today:
"This AILStar-DetrOit Lions
game is q great chance for me,
and I propose to be ready for
it. I hope to make q good
showing, and one way to as
sure myself of making good
showing is to be in excellent
physical condition, cOnSe-

I'll be ready, physically and

as Bill Shepherd. of Western
Maryland made a year ago. Shep-

on the field in the 1885 battle.

However, this will not affect

perhaps, is that the Dutch actual

No Chance in Diving
Foreign women have no chance
in the diving for several reasons,
including their style, grace and

2-DaY Show
Is Success
AtHdrbor
By GARRETT WATERS

Apparently Fred Jacoby, jr, OF
North Bergen, N. j., has no re-
Spect for any of his fellowmen.
In short, Fred, who is a scenic
painter when not racing, COM
pletely stole the show as the two
day Tri-City Regatta came to an
interesting close yesterday. The
affair, the ninth since its 1ncep-
ton, was held on the Severn
River at Herald Harbor, Md.
Mr.. Jacoby competed in yester-
days events only. The day was set
aside for the professionals. No
doubt he would have won q few
more races had he been allowed to
race Saturday, but that day was
given over to the amateurs and
Fred had to be content to idle on
the sidelines, get his cupboard
craft in shape and otherwise pre-
pare for what was to come.
Well. to get down to the plain
and sundry facts, Jacoby won the
C.. 3 and F. cupboard events ana
placed second in the A events. He
added plenty of points to his ma
tional total and probably even
more important, carried nome
$3.50 worth of prize money-ths
little item which goes to winners
of all professional speedboat races.
c, Mulford Scull, of Ventnor,
N. j., was Jacoby's nearest COM
petitor. Scull won one or two OF
the heats, but Jacoby had such a
point total lead that he won the
prize in every one of the prevl-
aforementioned instances.
Jacoby's work was so interest
ing. if not sensational, that it
overshadowed the feature race OF
the regatta-the Regional Cham
pionships.
This event developed into a
nothing race" in so far as the
championship was concerned. DR..
Cecil Bagley, Of aBltimore, de-
Tending champion, easily won the
first heat, but was forced to drop
out In the fianl when he sprang
a plank. Robert Stevens, driving
the Nelson II, his nearest COM
petitor, went on to win the event,
but no time was taken and no
championship awarded.

distinction in the National

in 1925 and he went to the New

League, that same season.
The Yankees moved him to
Atlanta, then st. Paul and re-

AS 1887 opens, big business Is
