one-sidedness of the match. He
said:
Baron Won Cramm is sorry
he could not play better, but
he Sprained a muscle in his
thigh at the start of the match"
Perry's rout of Won Cramm was
one of the fastest and most COM
plete in Wimbledon finals history.
In dropping only two games dur
ing the entire match, the cham
pion left Won Cramm almost daZed
from his brilliantly accurate and
almost superhumanly fast shots.
Toward the end of the match
Won Cramm was not even trying
for the hard ones, which Perry
fired to all quarters of the court,
tirelessly and relentlessly, never
giving the German time to catch
his breath.
Perry Almost Perfect
Perry, whose game has become
almost perfect in recent weeks
after being unusually slow for
him during the early part of the
season, was complete master of
the situation throughout. His
superiority over the German-a
star of the first rank, despite the
crushing defeat-was even more
marked than last year, when he
also won in straight sets but
dropped total of 10 games. The
1885 scores were GO, Ga, 614.
Perry became the first man to
win the Wimbledon singles crown
three times in succession since
the days of Anthony Wilding,
who wore it in 1910, 1911, 1919,
1918. Not even the great Tilden
has matched this record.
The match lasted only 40 min
utes, one of the shortest of VIM
bledon's 60-year history and one
of the most one-sided. Perry's
sizzling sideline shots and bullet
like aces were for exhibition only.
May Explain Margin
The sprained muscle of which
Won Cramm complained may have
explained the great margin of
Perry's victory, but the crowd was
certain Perry's game was too fast
today for any man alive. His
mastery of the situation was remi.

Haynes Whips
Williams

Leroy Haynes, considered No. 2
among the colored heavyweightS
in the country, had gained a par
ticular wish today, following his
fight with Tommy Williams at
Griffith Stadium last night.
He whipped Williams so de-
cisively that he's sure a crack at
the "big time" is ahead of him.
He didn't score by actual knock
out as was his hope, but he landed
so effectively that Williams was
unable to come out for the fifth,
the result going down as a tech
nical knockout.
Haynes got in two most telling
punches in the fourth round. They
ended Williams for the remainder
of the evening. The first was a
left to the jaw. It was followed
by a right. Williams went dizzy
and was all but out when Haynes
gave him another left to the jaw.
The bell rang to save Williams
from going completely out.
Referee Tom Sawyer stopped
the bout when he realized Will
liams could go no further. The
largest crowd for a colored show
this season was on hand.
The supporting features had
Andy Bundy whipping Eddie
Cooper; Cyclone Sammy Williams
decisioning Roosevelt Rowe: and
Kid Howie defeating Young
Harry Wills.
The show was staged by the
Allied Democratic Clubs of the

ball park is due for one
of its most notable gather
ings tomorrow on the occa-
sion of the double e-header
between the New York Yam
KEGS and the Griffmen.
The Capital City at the
moment happens to be on the
crest of a wave of baseball en-
thusiasm which hasn't been
eoualled here since 1924.
OF course there was baseball
blood pressure domestic both IN
1925 and in 1888 when the local
club figured in American League
championships. But in '25 the
title came somewhat as a matter
of course, fcXowing the world
series crushing Washington gave
the Giants the previous fall.
No Upset Entailed
Too, in 1888 the team seemed
determined and qualified from the
outset, so hysteria was nothing
like so rampant even then as it
is today in view of the poor
chances conceded Washington at
the outset of this season.
don't believe anyone in Wash
ington is kidding himself into be-
lieving that the GriffS have a
chance Of out-doing the New York
Yankees for the league title this
year, and such possibility is hard
" the foundation for the current
heat the club has generated
among local fandom.
Washington, as city of fans, is
carrying the banner of it's ball
club high, and will stage a big
demonstration at the twin bill to-
morrow and possibly again on
Sunday, because misfit aggrega-
ton of ball players of April has
turned into the most troublesome
team in the league for those
picked to finish far ahead OF it.
Demand Is HeaUy
President Clark Griffith told me
in Baltimore last night, where he
was watching his Albany farm
play the Orioles, that it has been
years since there has been such a
demand for holiday tickets to see
Washington play at home.
In order to satisfy the demands
of the public, he had to abandon
his standing plan Of not selling
admissions back of the first five
rows until the day of the game.
He put these $1.10 general adm1S-
sions on sale yesterday, however.
This enables the ticket purchasers
to buy their seats ahead of the
Yankee twin games and not have
to battle the ticket-window throng
Of Saturday. At this writing.
there were plenty Of reserved
seats left for Sunday, however.
Where normally he opens his
gates for double headers at noon,
tomorrow turnstiles will start
clicking at 10 o'clock in order to
facilitate the traffic, which the
ticket sale to date indicates will
be heavy.
incidentally, Griff announced
this morning that rain or shine
tomorrow, the double-header will
go on, as canvas is over the in
field.
Can't Be Done
Rob Roy Mackey has opinions
as to the suggested need of control
of wrestling by District commits
sion. He writes:
Having read your remarks Of
June 20 on the regulation of
wrestling here, beg to say that
you might as well feed Daniel
to the lions as to let boxing
board run wrestling.

Nothing could be more fitting
than for the Griffs to crown
their courageous fight on alien
soil with a triumphant entry
into the home terrain. They
passed the Platinum Boys of Bos-
ton, who dropped into fifth place
as a result of their seventh con-
secuttve defeat.
Since leaving Washington on
June Is, the Griffs have won II
games and lost 5 for a per-
centage of .687. This is IS points
better than their average for the
season.
It was entirely consistent with
the scheme of things that Earl
Whitehill, the raven-haired south
paw, whose % victories in 1888
played such a prominent part in
the pennant victory of that year.
Whitehill pitched back to his
brilliant performance in Chicago
on last Sunday when he beat
the White Sox by a score of to
l, allowing only half a dozen hits.
Bolton Steals Base
There was a strong similarity in
the last two games pitched by
Whitehill, In the Chicago game,
the Griff got him two runs on a
three-hit burst against Silent"
John Whitehead. Lewis, Kuhel
and Travis did the hitting in that
game. After the opener Whitehill
had to pitch with heart and head
and hand to hold this advantage.
In yesterdays battle the Griffs
hoped on Gordon Dusty" Rhodes
in the second inning for five hits,
and Whitehill himself drove SIN
gle to right field that put Ossie
Bluege in position to score on a
single by Ben Chapman. The
GriffS made three runs in that
second frame. and one of the
most important factors in the tally
production was a clean steal of
second by Cliff Bolton.
Perhaps that very move will
carry most forcefully to you back
ers of this surprising team Of the
pennant race, the baseball that
Bucky Harris is playing. The
wide world knows that Cliff Boil
ton is no Paddock on the paths.
The Macks knew it and were lulled
into a sense of false security. Be
fore their blinking eyes, however,
Bolton made off with second base.
It was Bolton who drove over
the winning run of the game with
a trick double. He raised a loop
ing fly to short right which
dropped between Niemic and Puc-
cinelli while Travis, scurrying for
the plate two out. scored standing
up.
Needed That Break
Whitehill needed that break and
the run it produced, for he Strug-
gled through difficulties in the
last four innings Of the game. A
couple of hits scurried through
the infield just out Of Kress'
reach, and Bolton, who ran and
hit opportunely, suffered a men
tai lapse in the eighth inning and
allowed Puccinelli to score on
what Bolton believed was force
out at the plate.
With the bases loaded Lewis
fielded a shot by Niemic, stepped
on third and then threw to the
plate. Bolton apparently missed
the third-base phase of the play
and Immediately relayed to first
base. just too late to get the
hitter.
If Lewis had made the con-
ventional play, throwing at once
to the plate for Bolton to relay
the ball to Kuhel, the inning
would have. ended without scor-
ing. AS it was, it took a sensa'
tional double play, Stone to
Bluege. to end the inning and
stop the Macks.
In the ninth an error by KreSs
and a pass to Newsome with
one out put Whitehill on the
spot, but the oldtimer worked
with the courage for which he
is noted and won his victory.

Slaughter
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Local golfers who'll attend the
exhibition match at the Congress
sional Country Club Sunday after
noon at $50 o'clock will see a
greatly changed golfer in Miss
Mildred Babe" Didrikson. The
latter will be paired with Roland
r. Mackenzie, Congressional pro,
against Witty Cox, Kenwood pro,
and Freddy Mcleod, Columbia
pro, the first named duet receiving
four strokes in handicap. The ad-
mission fee for Sundays match is
$1.10.
Miss Didrikson is not trying to
slug the ball a mile these days,
though she can outdrive 80 per
cent of the men golfers. She has
realized that length off the tee
isn't as vital as accuracy and con-
sistency. Hence. she isn't hitting
the ball as far but neither is she
missing as many shots nor hitting
her drives off line too often.
AS to Miss Didrikson's improve
ment, Mackenzie says:
"She has shortened her swing,
thus increasing her accuracy.
This has cut couple yards off
her drives, but she is hitting
them straighter, a vital factor
in golf.
"Her short game is more pol
ished and she has always been
a good putter. Too, she is more
consistent in all her Shots"
