tunate in that they still can play ball.
Injuries sustained in collisions be-
tween fast-moving men easily can end
a mans career and this isn't fair.
After all, with most of 'em base ball
is the only means of their livelihood,
as we'll as that Of their families.
Then, again, it isn't fair to an
owner to have a valuable and high
priced player knocked out Of the
game for days and weeks. In the
first place. it's an expensive invest
ment that is threatened every time a
major league player is hurt. In the
second place, it's costly upkeep when
a player is laid up with an injury.
Maybe this will give you some
idea of the upkeep. In 1882 Carl
Reynolds jaw was broken by Dickey
with a punch that was the aftermath
Of a home plate collision.
At the time Reynolds was
drawing q good salary and he
was laid up for two months.
His salary for the two months
he could give no service
amounted to about S4,500.
The hospital bill was another $1,000.
That made 1t $500 in cold cash that
Dickeys punch cost the Washington
club, and 1t didn't include the price
we had to pay in games won and lost,
because Reynolds wasn't in the game.
As matter Of fact, Reynolds was not
much good to us the rest of that year."

All In the Pitching.
IN THE first place the cannona,

IN THE first place the cannonading
heard in certain localities, including
Philadelphia and Brooklyn. signifies
only that some brands of pitching are
softer than others. The New York
Yankees have shown surprising gains
in power this Spring, but to compare
them with the Yankees of Ruth's hey
day, on the basis of their slugging spree
in Shibe Park, is like comparing Con-
ME Mack's current Philadelphia pitch
ing staff with Grove, Earnshaw and
Walberg, the big three" Of the 1929
1881 champions.
The increase in the home run output
hardly can be traced to anything but
% the benefits of scenic changes for
some of the top sluggers, like Jimmie
F'oxx of the Red Sox, the current pace
setter, or ca Spring recoveries for such
stickers as Hal Trosky of the Indians,
Tony Lazzari and Lou Gehrig of the
Yankees. If the ball. as some contend,
has been given another shot of jack

FINALLY, the pitching records, for
all the sharpness of their contrasts
this Spring, indicate no general let

There have been 81 shutouts in the
majors thus far, l9 in the American
League and 18 in the National. The
whitewashing business, on this basis,
is a bit better than last year on the
whole. In particular cases there are

EACERFOR YEARS
FIRST BIG AFFAIR
Edgemoor Club Co.operates
by Dropping Event 1t
Was Planning.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

BY BILL DlSMER, Jr.
WEN only 36 hours notice,
and with but little more than
r a day remaining before the
~ entry deadline, local tennis
players have jumped at the chance
OF playing again in the City Of Wash
ington tournament, sponsored by The
Star, which starts Saturday at the
Rock Greek courts.
Their appetites whetted by the Win
ter's inactivity and further heightened
by the past few weeks of conditioning
matches, the clamor for an early sea-
son tournament reached such a
crescendo that a Tom Thumb" affair
already had been planned by Edge
moor's members for Memorial day
before The Stars intention to sustain
the City of Washington became known.
Once assured that the latter would
be played according to schedule, how
ever, the players OF that club lost
no time in calling off their affair
which was intended to turn an other
wise dreary week end into one of ac-
tivity.
Women's Events Follow.
SATURDAY will be the start of al
~ most three weeks of tournament
activity. After the men finish their
singles and doubles, the field will be
given over entirely to the women Of
the District. who not only will stage
their own tournament, but team with
the men in the first mixed doubles
tournament the city has seen in a
long time.
But for the time being the spotlight
will be centered entirely on the men
in their quest for the first major
championship Of the year.
Last year the City of Washington
singles was won by Dooly Mitchell
and the doubles championship by
Mitchell and Tom Markey. Barney
Welsh, who subsequently won every
tournament of the city, was not then
in town. This year it will be differ
ent. with the towns two ranking play
ers prepared for fight to the finish
Due to the withdrawal of Bill Breese,
ranking No. 2 racketer. from the Cap
ital, Welsh and Mitchell are rated 1-2.
But all of the remaining first 10 are
ready to assert their own right to
supremacy at the start of new
season.
Talent Is Plentiful.
THIS category includes Hugh Lynch,
Tony Latona. Markey. Ralph Nc
a~J rl NF,tLo~
all of whom became fellow club men,
bers of Welsh and Mitchell in the
hegira to Edgemoor early this Spring.
They were ranked in that order at
the end Of the 1885 season.
Closely behind, and determined to
better their standing this season, are
such stalwarts as Alan Blade, Pat
Deck, Nate and Ritzenberg, Don Gar
Der. Ray Stocklinski, Ricky Willis,
Deane Judd, Alan Staubly, Moscoe
Garnett, Stan McCaskey, Larry Phil
lips, Neil Anderson and Johnny Neale.
All played in the City Of Washington a
year ago and all are expected to be
within It's fold by 6 o'clock tomorrow
evening.

TT MAY smack a bit Of the old
publicity hokum, but The Stars
decision to sponsor the City of
i Washington tournament was based
upon more than the desire to assume
temporary control Of the local situa-
ton.
Granted that was needed, 1t Is with
an Interior motive that this paper
will send local racketers, men and
women, on their merry tournament
way to what may prove one Of the
biggest seasons the game has expert
enced here in years.
Tennis here needs helping hand.
1t requires a more organized local
governing body, more responsible Of
f1cials to whom players and fans may
look with sense of assurance, and,
above all, more and better tourna-
ments.
Action Is Demanded.
HOW true all this is becomes ap-
parent when 1t is realized that
the City of Washington tourney, which
| has opened the season here for the
past decade, was within four days of
being abandoned, simply because no
individual or group connected with
local tennisdom apparently had any
authority to step up and proclaim
the right to conduct it.
We're not blaming those
perennial hard workers for the
good Of District tennis.
Fellows like Bill Shreve, Felix Silva,
Muscoe Garnett, Pat Deck and others,
give unstintingly Of their time and
labor to the many and varied details
which a tournament necessarily en-
tails. Without them the conduct of
most of the local tournaments would
be without shape. form or progress.
But We do ask the question why
the Washington Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton hasn't held meeting for more
than a year. Why there have been
no rankings Of the city's players over
that same period of time, during
which players and fans alike were
forced to base their opinion of their
relative status solely on rankings
issued by the local Public Parks Asso-
citation.
1t is the desire and purpose
of those most closely identified
with the game to develop a
new organization before long.
A group which will be representa-
tive Of the many interests of the game
club, public parks, playground Gov
ernment and unorganized racketers.
Undoubtedly it will receive the sup
port of the Middle Atlantic Associa-
ton, whose treasurer and local repre-
sentative, Joe Rutley, looks to the day
| when District tennis will be organized
into compact, efficient group.
Need for Organization.
THEN, perhaps, will tournaments of
national importance be staged
/ here. Edgemoor Club already has sig
! nified its intention of expanding with
the probability Of inviting stars of ma
/ tional ranking to participate in their
tournaments, How much a strong
local association could do to aid this
endeavor is obvious.
How, you ask, does this hook-up
with The Stars sponsorship of the
tournament? Simply through the
thought that highly satisfactory

U. S. Fighter Again Bows to

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NARIS, January 21.-Lon Brouil-
- lard. the blocky swatter from
Worcester, Mass, is having
little luck in the land OF his
ancestors.
For the second time the former
welter and middle weight world title
claimant has failed in an attempt
to belt the middleweight crown from
Marcel Thil Of France. generally
recognized as its rightful possessor.
Some weeks ago. Brouillard lost
q decision to the aging Thil after a
rally in the late rounds. Last night
he lost again, on foul in the fourth
round of the match that was sched-
uled for IS.
Brouillard was warned twice for
butting In the third round. When
Thil fell to the floor in pain after
receiving a low blow in the fourth,
the three judges unanimously declared
Brouillard disqualified and Thil the
winner on foul.
Big Crowd Is Aroused.
COME 10000 spectators shouted
- boos and catcalls, and some tried
to storm the ring.
Brouillard, who weighed 154A to
Thils 15Ss4, turned on q brisk attack
in the first round, but Thil side
stepped or blocked most Of the blows.
The Frenchman came back in the
second round and unleashed bar
rage Of rights and lefts at the Amer
ican. driving him around the ring
and sending him to his corner visibly
shaken.
Bromllard employed a crouch as
he came out for the third round. and
the referee sounded his warnings as
the American charged in head first.
Thil continued to rock him with hard
rights and lefts.
Brouillard protested against the
disqualification and challenged Thil
to another bout.
