That surprises are the essence

Until Green pulled the tissue

Physicians said they will not be
able to tell until tonight whether
the pulled tendon will affect
Green's running and jumping upon

The examining physician was
unable to say whether the sinking
of the mans heart had produced
this symptom.
All the officials could do, in fact,
was ruefully announced to a yowl-

won by technical knockout in the
ninth round because Camera had

He was stretched out on his

FRANK CROSETTI, YANK SHORTSTOP, SEEN
SURE ALL-STAR TEAM NOMINEE

Frankie CroSetti is the best short
stop in the American League. He
is playing wonderful ball in the
field and is hitting like wild
man. Some fans have wondered
just where Crosetti develops the
power to smash balls over fences.
He gave every indication Of being
a distance hitter his first year
with the Yankees, but never quite
lived up to his promise.
That is, not until this year.
Who Challenges Gehringer
The right of Charley Gehringer
to second-base honors stands un-
challenged as this observer views
the facts. Lazzeri will poll a ter
rifle early vote, it is expected,
because of his recent furry at the
bat. There is no greater fighter
in the game than this same wal
loping Wop." But he lacks the
steady skill and the ground COW
ering ability of Gehringer.
The all-star game is the fans
game. It's your game and your
sons game. You have a voice in
the selection of the teams. So
let us have your ballot and your
selections. Rush them in at once
to the All-Star Editor Of The
Washington Times.

Dusek WrestIes
Cox at Stadium

Wrestling shifts to open air
with a five-star show at Griffith
Stadium tonight when Promoter
Joe Turner features one OF the
finest cards ever offered under
his auspices here. The first match
will be called at $50 O'Clock.
Turner is headlining old rivals
in Joe Cox and Ernie Dusek. Out
standing hits of the indoor season
which found them twice playing
to capacity houses and each win
ming a match, Ernie and Cox are
being brought back by popular
demand. In both matches here
these lads hit a new high for action
and aggreSsiveneSs and in so doing
made inevitable this third and
deciding go.
Rudy Dusek returns after an
absence of 18 months to engage
Charley Strack in the Semifinal.
Dynamite Gus Sonnenberg, former
worlds champion and flying tackle
specialist, is pitted against tower
ing Olaf Olson, Swedish giant, in
a special 30-minute number. Other
matches bring together Jack Don

Swayed under the storm.
He roughed Haynes around for
the next two, without audible or
visible protest from the referee.
The colored man, who apparently
is just a sWinger, had punched
himself out for the time being and
didn't resume the volleying until
the fourth, which the oaf was
lucky to finish.
He got a break here because a
torn right glove had to be replaced
between rounds, giving the Oaf a
chance to regain some measure of
composure. AS a matter of fact,
he did pretty well in the fifth,
scoring with a hard right to the
head. But by this time Haynes
corner had discovered what to do
about this Observation-Disclosures

They sent their man out to feint

GRlST OF THE GRIFFS
By Frank "Buck" O'NeiII

YANKEE STADIUM, New York,
Aug. 11.-Buddy Lewis views the
world today of a 20-year-old man.
He gave himself a real birthday
present, too. In the second inning
he stepped up and whacked a
home run into the excavation in
right field. But that was not all.
Buddy was interviewed by a maya
zine writer and presently will
read a feature story of his life.
The boy is growing rapidly.
Stands 6 feet 2 inches in his socks
today and hasn't stopped growing
yet.
Chapman drew a cheer from
the crowd when he spanked a
triple off the right-center field
wall in the first inning. Twas a
grand and gorgeous wallop.
Gehrig robbed Chapman of a
sure double in the second inning
with a great back-handed stop.
Chappie muttered and mumbled
for five minutes.
Cecil Travis stepped in at Sec
ond base and did all right. He's
not a fancy man around that in
field; no indeed, but he is little
bit of all right to have about.
In the summary of the game,
tbs scored as a triple. But you
should have seen Stone bungle
Selkirk's cheap fly to left. The
ball probably was lost in the
mistS.
Lou Gehrig hit four fouls over
the right field fence and then hit
his thirty-fifth home run of the
season over the right field wall.
Now there was sock dolliger.
Travis got two singles in his
first three trips to the plate
He hit to center and to right;
then flied to left field.
Joe DiMaggio made one of the
throws of the century when he
shot down Cecil Travis at third
on Stones single to center field.
The young italian carries shot
gun on his shoulder.
Miles singled with Kress on
second, but the red-head made no
effort to score. Needless to say
the hit went to center field.
