tailenders of the Negro National
Baseball League came to life yes
terday at Griffith Stadium and
took a doublebill from the league
leading Pittsburgh Crawfords, 1912,
and o-5, before more than 1000
fans.
With the return of Hughes and
Snow, two regular infielders, who
have been away several days at
Denver, Colo, participating in a
baseball tourney, the local boys
took on new life and coupled some
clean hitting with some fast base
running to exc out victory over
the leaders in both contests.
Willis opposed the Crawfords on
the mound in the first game while
the Elites collected 10 runs and 10
hits off the slantS of Smith and
Harvey.
The nightcap was a pitching
duel between Byrd of the Elites
and Foster of the visitors.
Mackey'S double and Curry'S triple
enabled the local boys to put over
the deciding tally.

GR|ST
By FRANK "RUCK" O'NEILL


According to the history book,
there have been tea parties in Bos-
ton before, but certainly none to
equal that of yesterdays.
Eighteen thousand people at
tended that tea party at which
Yawkey'S gawks were served up
two defeats by the illustriouS
Griffmen-and strangely enough,
the citizens up there did not pro-
test about the taxes they paid for
the afternoons affair. They took
both defeats in stride and seemed
to get a big kick out of what the
Harrismen were doing to their
boys.
Mr.. Buckaroo Newsom was the
struttinest man in the ball yard
yesterday. The way that fellow
laughed at those Red Sox was
simply a shame. Buck did right
by Huntsville all right even if he
did do a bad Pagliacci.
Peter Jablonowski, nee Apple
ton, who lives up this way didn't
do bad himself in the first game
.. He wasn't quite as funny as
Newsom, but you can't be funny
with the tying run on third base,
one out and Heinie Manush facing
you. . This was Peters position in
the eighth inning of the first
game when he was sent in as a
relief hurler. . But he whitfield
three fast ones past Henry and
took the heart right out of the
money boys. The best Rog
Cramer could do was roll weakly
to Kuhel And so washington
won the first game, to 6.
In the course of the Mats rally
in the eighth in which they scored
four runs, Yves Terrell became so
enraged that he walked off the
mound without asking Mr.. Cronin
about it .. The second game Of
the afternoon was one of those
things, as we said before, between
John J. Marcum and one Buck
Newsom Newsom clowned his
way out Of the hot spots and man
aged to hold the Bostons at bay
with a Shit pitching effort, fan
ming five on the way . In all seri-
BUSINESS, Newsom gave a remark
able exhibition of flinging out
there and deserved to win the ball
game, 3 to 2.
The two Senator victories flab-
bergasted the Sox in more ways
than one They we're kicked out
of fifth place by a fraction of a
point by the Senators and things
don't look like they're getting any
better with Mr.. Yawkey'S gang .
They're getting worse.
Today, with the Yankees in town,
the Mats are in fifth place and
the Sox seem to be headed for
seventh, if the st. Louisans con-
tinue their brief winning streak :. .
Anyway you look at it, the trip
North was certainly a success. A
series from the Yanks and a series
from the Sox Another series
from the Yankees and somebody
will call for a senatorial investi-
cation. You can investigate the
rebirth of the Mats yourself this
afternoon at BIS o'clock.

his financially platonic" man
ager.
Abandoning further pretense
regarding his intentions, Owens
said he and Snyder would rush
back to the United States and &C
cept the best Of offers from the
stage and radio.
Snyder said he was taking
leave of absence as Ohio State
University coach in order tc
manage his Negro protege's bust
ness. Both were seemingly con
fused on immediate procedure.
Upon leaving for the legal con
ference, Owens admitted he hac
been officially notified of his Sus
pension by Daniel Ferris, Of the
American olympic committee
over the telephone from Berlin
last night. He said:
"If that's how they feel
about me, I've no conjunction
over taking this STEP"
Owens case paralleled that Of
Mildred Babe" Didrickson, with
suspension preceding definite EN-
brace of professionalism.
Snyder commented:
This boy has done no harm.
In fact, he's done America a
lot of good, but this is his re-
ward. In view of amateuriSm'S
attitude, I should say he is do
ing the right thing and earning
his nest-egg while he can"
There is a marked change II

up in a small hostelry out Pad

Sail on Queen Mary
More so is the fact that they
are sailing Wednesday on the

Snyder occupied an inside tourist
cabin and Owens was in with two
other athletes.
Explaining his haste to gel
home, Owens said:
"I'm inst tired of running"

Owens charged the A. A. U. Of
ficials first, with being interested
in the gate money when he com
peted in a post-OlympicS meet at
Cologne, and second, with want
ing to get me knocked out"
He said:
81 never want to run for them
again. They were to get 10 per
cent of the gate if I did not
run at Cologne, and Is per cent
if did.
They ordered me to the
train on As minutes notice,
which resulted in my defeat by
Ralph Metcalf. 1 was ahead
at IS meters, but my lack of
condition beat me in the last
five.
Then they made me run an
other race, also the relay, after
which they wanted me to broad
jump. 1 refused.
LIVED HIGH
"That night they ordered us
all to go to Prague, saying
you've lived high for a month,

keep
Il hadn't expected to run In

order which 1 'obeyed.
Now am finished, being
under no obligation to run all
