Miller Mines
Season
BY SID KATZNELL

Carey Maupin, fleet left fielder
and publicity director of the Mil
Ter Furniture team, champion Of
the Industrial League. reviews the
history of his team of this season
in an elegant manner. He writes
Possibly by this time you
are tearing your hair out and
thinking terrible things for not
hearing from me this season,
but did not have a thing to go
into a rave about until now. AS
has been my custom for the past
four years, 1 have given you the
low down on the Miller baseball
team at the start of the season,
but this year I could not find .
thing to go into a fit over.
Things certainly were dark at
the outset of the present season.
My fears were correct as the
club finished dead last in the
first half Industrial League race.
We could not get nine players on
Sundays. so We had to drop out
of the Sunday league.
"Then. something happened.
We started the second half In
duStrial race by winning two
straight games, but our spirits
were soon dimmed when Heu-
richs defeated us two straight
games. 1t seemed that we were
doomed to the worst season that
any Miller club has ever known,
although we had exceptionally
good material.
During the next two weeks
Heurich lost three games and
we were right in the fight for
the second half championship.
It seemed that then and there
that we gathered all of our
stored up spirit and fight and
unleaShed it on the rest of our
opponents during the rest of the
race and won it very handily.
I'VE were then faced with
the task of meeting Heurich in
the playOff which didn't appear
to be any rose covered path for
us. The first game ended in a
tie after 10 innings of super
baseball. The score, 2 to 2. We
defeated them in the next game
s to 3, after a most thrilling
game. The third game ended
in the second tie of the series,
3 to 3. Heurich won the fourth
game, ekeing out a l to 0 vic.

Olympic Mentor
Flags Conduct
Of Athletes
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK. Aug. 31.-There
having been a great deal Of arrant
nonsense aired by Olympic Ath-
letes and officials in connection
with anything they feel called
upon to suspect about each other,
it struck me today it might be
eminently fitting to have Head
Track Coach Robertson tell what
he actually knew about both.
This, think he did-subcon-
sciously and by inference.
He said that we must drop the
bartender from the next Olympic
ship and substitute a first-rate top
sergeant.
"If / have anything to do
with the next Olympic team, I'll
protest against a bar on the
ship" he announced today. "Of
course. l may have nothing
whatever to do with the next
Olympic team. And, of course,
we'll have the same kind Of
team, the same officials, the
same allegations of scandal.
The only thing different will be
the scenery"
There will be no change in the
official setup. he pointed out, even
though its present popularity may
be limited to members Of its i'm.
mediate family. Mr.. Brundage, it
seems, is volunteer official, who
subjects his bowed head to the
general abuse for the sheer pleas
ure Of the thing.
First Pay Him
Practically all the rest are vol.
unteerS. too, meaning. I suppose,
that before you can logically fire
a man you've first got to pay him.
Besides, as one is able to infer
from Robertson's allusion to the
entertainment features Of the
trip, the officials we're really very
generous. They not only had a
bar for themselves; they even pro-
vided one for the athletes.
The result below decks was of
an overcrowded house party.
Three and sometimes four ath-
letes were assigned to a room, so

ing, the others we're forced into
the passage, if they we're without
gumption, or into the tourist bar.
if they happened to be young per-
sons with some strength Of char
acter.
No Point
Among their number we're
young ladies of the subdeb age and
young men who were Just off the
campus and knew their way about.
II they wanted to be discreet, they
might have been served in their
rooms. But probably after the
first day or two they saw no point
in that. The officials with real
power and significance we're above
decks. perhaps having a Snifter
or two on their own. Below, the
Joint was so crowded as to assure
absolute privacy.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The ma
tional tennis championships,
which start at Forest Hills on
Thursday provide the final op-
portunity of the year for Ameri.
can and foreign stars to show
what they can do in the tennis
field.
The American championships are
the last important international
tournaments of the year and this
years tournaments, though not as
strongly favored with interna-
tional stars as in the past, provide
many interesting aspects.
There is the probability that
Helen Hull Jacobs, the defending
women's champion, will meet
with defeat at the hands of
Alice Marble. another Califor-
MAN, If the pair should gain the
final round. The foreign lady
players, with the exception of the
left-handed Kay Stammers, of
England, and Nine. Sylvia Hen
rotin, of France, have all passed
up the tournament and it looks
like the battle is definitely be-
tween Miss Jacobs and Miss
Marble.
I believe that if these two girls
meet in the championship round
we will all be hailing new
champion. Miss Marble has the
kind of a game that can win
from Miss Jacobs. With the
championship at stake. believe
Miss Marble will put it over.
Perry Tops Invaders
Fred Perry. England's ace and
Wimbledon champion, is the out
standing of the foreign invaders.
Perry met with unexpected and
dramatic defeat on these same
courts last year and this year
the road to regaining his lost
laurels is strewn with even more
difficulty than it was in 1885.
Unfortunately, Wilmer Allison,
the defending champion and con-
queror of Perry last year, is one
Of the big-shot Americans not COM
peting this year. The other rank
ing Americans who have decided
for one reason or another to pass
up the tournament are Frank
Shields, Wilmer Hines, and Hines
partner, Bunty Lawrence. Out
side of these players, the same
stars that have been seen in all of
the seasons Eastern tournaments
are entered.
To a number Of players. especi-
ally the new stars from California,
the national championship is a
new venture. What Bobby Riggs,
Joe Hunt, Wayne Sabin, Charles
Carr and the other freshmen"
have done in the previous tourna-
ments will be completely over
Swallowed by what they do in the
nationals. To them the cham
pionship is the first real test.
Favored By Experts
Perry and Miss Jacobs are re.
garded by the majority of experts
as overwhelming favorites to win
the mems and women's titles, re-
spectively. Perry won the singles
crown in 1888 and 1884 before
meeting with injury and defeat
last year. Miss Jacobs has won
the women's title four years in a
row. They are. incidentally, the

Clark Griffith today puts terrific punch
into the last week of the Babe Ruth contest.
He has no false notions about his own ball
players.
When it comes to assaying the caliber of his
handymen, fish is fish to him, foul is foul and
flesh is flesh.
The head Of the House Of Griffith doesn't find his

lash, or even a flush of counter
ance, Griff finds eight regular
players and two pitchers beyond
his own fold whom he believes of
All-American caliber and good
enough to be honored in Ruth's
yearly selection.
Griff has picked his team, not as
a contestant for one of the two
world series trips which will be
awarded the pair of local and
nearby fans of The Washington
Times. but more to try his hand
at this annual hysteria built
around the Babes selections.
And the Old Fox has solid logic
behind his choice. He gives ex-
plicit reasoning in the case of
every player except Gehrig and
Dizzy Dean, allowing that those
two don't need to be explained"
To him they belong In the exclu-
sive company of a Ruth selection
on the very face Of their records.
So, If you contestants in the
Ruth competition want reliable
guidance as to how to assemble an
An-American team and surround it
with the necessary explanation
that must accompany every selec-
ton, harken to a man who grew
up in baseball and has done pretty
well by himself in the growing.
Actually An Expert
It's a living for Griff. you
know, and no mean one, either.
Here's his team and his explana.
tions; but not his batting order,
as he was asked to refrain from
making the contest too easy for
many who might wish to adhere
strictly to his placing Of the
players:
Outfielders-Averill, Medwick,
and DiMaggio.
Misunderstanding, Gehringer,
Appling and Owens.
Catcher-Dickey.
PitcherS-Dean and HubbelI.
Says Griff of that team:
81 pick Averill because he Is
a great hitter and fielder who
does everything expertly. He
is a grand ball player and Is a
hitter that left,handed pitchers
can't stop.
"Medwick is a splendid COM
petitive ball players who seems
to glory in his work. The
tougher the going the harder
he plays He is a superb driver
in of runs. hustles all the time,
whether in the field or on the
base paths.
DiMaggio a Natural
"DiMaggiO is the best young
ball player I've seen in years.
For 3 firSt-year man he hits and
throws like q veteran and there
isn't better right hand hitter
in the American League today.
He takes an easy, natural cut
at the ball and gets results. That
kind of a hitter doesn't burn out,
but lasts for a long, long time.
He pivOts from the waist when
he swings and gets the whole
strength of his torso into his
hits.
"Gehrig doesn't need any ex-
PLANTATION. He's got everything
and is in a class by himself.
"Gehringer is a brilliant
fielder and the toughest man in
baseball to pitch to. Charlie
seems to have all the pitchers
figured out and more often than
not will wait out the pitcher
for two balls or two strikes until
he gets the one he wants and
feels he can Straighten out.
