Joe Kuhel's wallop up against the
fence. He made a leaping grab,
all to no purpose.
The good Senor Alfredo Lange,
baseball ambassador from Florida,
was a pleasant visitor at the ball
orchard. A noticeable absentee was
Gen. Peyton c. March.
Chapman hit a home run in the
first inning just as sure as the
sun rises in the East, but he got
double. The ball hit in the left
field bleachers and bounced out.
How all three Of the umpires
missed that little play is beyond
me. Kinda tough on Chappie to
hit the ball out of the lot and not
get credit for his feat.
Milton Galatzer. of all people,
broke into the game as pitcher.
He did as well as an outfielder
could expect to do as a pitcher,
and got out of trouble in his first
inning.
Bill Knickerbocker handled
Ossie Bluege's wallop in the last
half of the fourth and made a
nice play at first.
A play that was even better
developed in the fourth inning
when Cascarella DETECTED a
grounder by Trosky, and Bluege
rushed over and got the ball to
first in time.
"Tie on that glove" yelled the
Cleveland players in the fifth

with a hot smash through the box.

If Roy Weatherly could throw as
we'll as he can hit, run the bases
and cover ground in the outfield,
there could be no possible chal-
lenge to his right to rank with the
best among outfielders. 1t is no
ticed, however, that the Juvenile
Tribeslnan, arches the ball con-
siderably in his throws to third
base, giving the base runner an
invaluable fraction of a second to
take an extra base.
It may be argued, however, that
Earl B. Combs of the New York
Yankees, arched his throws a bit
in the old days, and there we're few
better outfielders than the Kun
mel of Old Kaintuck.
Buddy Lewis started the sensa-
tional first inning with a fine de-
fensive play in throwing out Roy
Hughes. Buddy was in fast on
the ball to make his peg.
The fireworks continued when
Chapman grounded to Knicker-
booker. 1t was a slow, half topped
grounder, and Knickerbocker fell
in fielding the ball. At that, he
was able to make a throw, but
Chapman's speed beat him.
Lewis slapped a liner between
third and short, the ball rolling
into the gutter for a triple to score
Chapman. There was a deal of
discussion over this matter of
whether this drive should have
been limited to two bases under
the ground rules.

ground so that Hill could not get
up in time to hold it to a single.
Joe Kuhel made leaping catch
of a high throw by Travis in the
fifth inning and retired Galatzer
Kuhel saved the shortstop an error
and the crowd applauded.
Carl Reynolds made a running
catch of a vicious smash by Hughes
and cut off a run. In the opening
game of this series Reynolds
helped Buck Newsom nicely by his
keen work afield.
Travis had to do some fancy
ducking in the fifth when Galatzer
was high and inside with a fast
ball. Travis then hit curve into
left field.
Hughes directed a smart play in
the second inning with Blaeholder
pitching. Cascarella bunted with
Bluege on first. 1t was a pop fly,
and the second-sacker called: Let

Blaeholder trapped the ball and
turned it into a double play from
the box to Knickerbocker to

26Points Win
For Sherwood
Girls Team
BY SID KATZNELL

Mothers and fathers rest as
Sured that their children are in
good hands when they send them
to one of the many District play
grounds for sports and recreation.
The parents know the play
grounds are under the supervision
of efficient instructors. who will
look after their offspring as well
as the mother.
For the past two days we had
the pleasure of working with the
playground officials in the city
wide track and field meets at Cen
tral Stadium, and we can truly say
that we never had any more CO.
operation than the playground en-
ployes rendered us in those two
days. An orchid to Miss Sibyl
Baker, director of the Fairgrounds;
Dick TennySon, assistant director; =;
Miss Maude Parker, assistant di-
rector, and Dorothy Kelso, who
was in charge of the publicity, for
their splendid work.
Betty Lewis Steals Show
Smiling Betty Lewis, 85.pound
human dynamo and feminine
charm, is today the toast of Sher-
wood Playground.
1t was Betty's sensational and
dramatic heave in the basketball
throw that insured Sherwood's S
victory in the 18th annual track
meet for girls conducted by the
Department of Fairgrounds at
Central Stadium yesterday. Sher-
wood scored 26 points.
Going into the final event, the
85-pound basketball throw, George
town was leading Sherwood by
three points, "a to 81, and it was
up to the diminutive Betty. Betty
whispered to one of her team
mates:
Il can't fail now"
Lucy Simonds Stars
And she didn't. She threw the
basketball 81 feet 9 inches, which
was more than enough to win
first place. Her victory added
five points to her teams total,
boosting it to 26, which beat
Georgetown out by two points.
Rosedale finished third with 1872
points; Virginia Avenue, fourth,
with II; Takoma. fifth, with 1872,
and Hoover and Benning tied for
sixth place, with points each.
Lucy Simonds, 115-pound lass
from RoSedale, deserves loads of
credit for her brilliant individual
performance. Miss Simonds won
two events. to give her team 10
of its 16 points.

couldn't possibly lose in Wash

I'll wager I've had as much
dealings with the local boxing
commission as any manager
who handles fighters, and I've
always found the three men,
bers as well as the referees,

were also loud in their defense to-
day Of the manner in which box
ing Is conducted here, emphasiz-
ing the fair and equitable treat
ment they have observed being
dealt out to all hands during their
promotion of fights locally.
Charges Scathing
Steinman's charges are scathing
and unequivocal, and speculation
was rife today as to how Steinman
could possibly wiggle out Of what
seems to be fine or suspension,
both for himself and for his
fighter.
Steinman's letter of August "a,
copy of which was received by
The Washington Times and pub
lished yesterday, and upon which
the boxing commissions action to-
day Is based, follows:
you CAN'T BEAT GALA
CHER IN WASHINGTON"
