TRIPLE PLAY IS
 DESCRIBED IN
 SIGN ESCAPADE
Complaining Witness Says It Was Case of Danielson
 to Briggs to Henderson

Tearing of the A. J. strike sign from the Union Hall on the lower Franklin Street early the morning of July 3 was sort of triple play, according to a version of the affair given a jury in U. s. Commissioner J. F. Mullen's court this afternoon by Andy Gibson, complaining wit ness in the disorderly charge against Ted Danielsen, Frank Henderson and James Briggs as a result of the alleged depreciation.
 Gibson said he had just come out of the City Cafe and was walking up the street toward the Union Hall when he saw Danielsen jump on a bench in front of the hall, reach up and tear down the sign, pass 1t to Briggs, who in turn made sort of delayed pass to Henderson, who tucked part of the sign in his left hand coat pocket and went for the goal line. The goal line and dis puted touchdown, according to Gib son, turned out to be the Arctic Club where the trio, he said, went in and when he arrived offered him a glass of beer.
 In the meantime Gibson had call ed police, he said, and Officer C.. H. MacSpadden responded to the call.
 Gibson said he felt very badly about the sign being torn down, in reply to inquery by Assistant Prose cutor George Folta, and said he declined the offer to have glass of beer with the alleged culprits.
 Bill Pavloff, another witness for the prosecution, said his sleep had been disturbed by the action of re- moving the sign. He had just turned in to his bed in the Union Hall, up stairs, about 4:15 o'clock that morn ing, he told the jury, and few min utes later was aroused by the com motion outside. He said he saw Danielsen jump down from the bench and pointed to Frank Hen derson as another man he had seen with Danielsen and with a part of the sign in his hand.
 The witness said he knew he had been asleep for few minutes be- cause he had been dreaming. De- fense Counsel Stabler asked if it was the dream he was relating to the jury and the witness replied yes" apparently not understanding the question.
 Converting this morning, Counsel Stabler asked the case be dismissed on grounds it did not constitute dis orderly conduct. After a recess in which the points of law were traced down, Commissioner Mullen over ruled the demurrer and the case was gotten under way.
 Other witnessed to be called this afternoon were Steve Ward, N R. Correll and Officer MacSpadden.
 Jurors hearing the case are Bert Mcdowell, Robert G. Rice, Mrs. Frank Foster, A. J. Sprague, Will liam Alexander, Stanley Nowicka, Ernest Parsons, Mrs. J. P. Williams, Mrs. J. B. Godfrey, Mrs. Homer Nordllng, A. J. Payton and Al Lund- Strom.

son Saturday meeting the Morgan
College Bears, champions of the
C. I. A. A., in Baltimore.
The contest is being scheduled
as a workout for the MarylanderS
who boast a much better machine
than last seasons outfit. The
Teachers, who have a veteran ag-
gregation and one or two prom
ising freshmen in the harness
plan to entertain the Bears.
Led by Glenn Virgins, junior,
and one Of the best triple-threat
men developed in pigskin warfare
here for sometime, the Teachers
will have an array of backfield
ball toterS, who will give any team
plenty of trouble. Flanked with
Virgins will be Wayman Brown,
Leroy Smith, George Franklin
and Jack Jackson. The promising
freshman will be Pete Freeman,
star of the Armstrong High School
championship eleven last season.
Athletic officials Of Miner and
Howard are trying to arrange a
game between the two schools for
october 10. Both teams will be
idle on this day. Last year the
Bisons barely nosed out the Teach
ers by a 6 to 0 score.

number of end candidates and the
scarcity Of guard material Frank
shifted from an end to a guard
berth.
He did not start in the opener
against Albright but did see some
action. He was on the sidelineS
for the Roanoke game because
of a deep cash in his forehead.
He started in the Miami game
and from that game he was on
the first team. He was chosen
on a number of All-DiStrict teams
and made almost every all-opon-
ent team that the Hoyas played
against.
Hardy gives promise Of being
one Of the best centerS George
town has ever had. Hardy
reached his peak last year when
the Hilltoppers played New York
University in the Yankee Sta
dium.
He made three-rourths of the
tackles behind the line and al

Bill Terry plans to send AL
Smith to the mound to garner
the first game and then come
back with AL Schumacher for
the nightcap. A couple Of semi

these two for the Giants, what

7 eCh Gridders
Await Test
On Field

Gather around, my children, and
you shall hear the story Of q foot
ball coach without a field.
Yes, that's what we said, foot
ball coach without field.
Hap Hardell is the coach. The
field lacking is the Tech High
Stadium, which has not been ap-
proved fit for play.
The situation is unusual indeed.
Also quite something new for
Coach Hap Hardell to be pessi-
mistic about.
More Complete
Heretofore, the gloomy Hardell
has had all he could do to moan
over poor Tech High grid pros
poets. This has made each sea-
son complete for the mentor. But
now, well, what could be more
complete than to have a situation
like the above horn into the pic
ture?
This Tech Stadium has been a
bone of contention fOr several
years. The Trainers have never
been able to play or practice on
the spacious turf like they should.
And it's not only worried Hardell,
but coaches directing other sports
in their seasons.
Last June when school vacation
arrived, there was the promise
the field would be put into shape
for good by this fall.
New sod was laid and the field
generally put into condition. But
the hitch now is how is it going
to be kept in perfect condition?
Officials at Tech argue the foot
ball team, if allowed to practice
now, will cut the turf to such an
extent that all work will be forced
over again.
Other officials at Tech, including
Hardell, contend the sod has been
laid long enough for football prao-
tice, also games.
Test To-Day POSSIBLE
Sometime this week, possibly
even today, a test will be made. II
the sod is still too fresh, the foot
ball team will be told to seek an
other site for practice, preferably
the Monument Grounds.
If this occurs, Hardell will de-
cline, arguing that it will be an in
Justice to the boy to drag him to
the Monument Grounds where
there are no shower facilities for
after game and practice work.
Further, there is the possibility
Hardeu will be told to discontinue
football this fall if the field IS
not approved for use.
Thus, a situation that is situa-
ton at Tech. Maybe. the answer
is for a school board appropriation
of money to maintain the condl-
ton of the field at all times.
It might straighten out a matter
that is unusual for a high school
with as beautiful a stadium and
field as is located at Tech.

Griffnen Start
Third PI ACE
Battle
By GARRETT WATERS

-
The Griffmen start what they
hope will be a history-making
week today.
History making in this sense will
be the winning Of an important
money position in the American
League race.
IT'S the general thought now
that only third place can be cap
tured. The reason is simple
enough.
The Detroit Tigers happen to
have a Strangle hold on the run
nersup berth, due to late win
ming streak. And the GriffS. two
and one-half games behind. have
only five games left on the cal
ender to make up, or overhaul the
margin.
Third Place Possible
Third place Is much easier to
grab. The Chicago White Sox
hold the position today, by a half
game margin, and this the Griffs
believe will not be so difficult to
overcome, particularly if the Sox
continue their losing ways of the
past week.
However, to clinch third place
the GriffS must do a little winning
on their own hook. The task ahead
is stormy, but one that can be &C.
complished If every member of the
lineup functions on all cylinders.
The five-game schedule almost
tells the story in itself. The Bos-
ton Rex Sox are here for the next
three days, and Immediately fol-
lowing their departure, the New
York Yankees will be on hand to
help Manager Bucky Harris
charges bring down the curtain
on the campaign. The Yanks ar
rive Saturday, Friday being an off
day.
1t is matter of conjecture how
the Griffs will fare. In the past
the minute one has become too en-
thusiastic, the team has done a
nice tailspin. Then to make up for
this, the boys have looked like
champs again.
The season has been like that
since that thrill-packed April IA
opening when Buck Newsom out
pitched Lefty Gomez in a l to 0
hurling duel.
Can't Give Up
On the whole, one hasn't had
the heart to give up on the boys
entirely. You can't when gents
like Joe Kuhel and Johnny Stone
hit the tar out of the ball, and
youngsters like Buddy Lewis and
Cecil Travis show they possess the
stuff Of real ball players under
huge handicaps.
Two factors should help make
the week interesting to both the
Griffs and their followers. A real
money position in the standings,
Of course, is the most important.
But next in line will be the am
bition to defeat two bitter rivals.
For if there's anything that gives
the Griffs more satisfaction it's
trouncing the Red Sox and Yanks.
Manager Bucky Harris entire
pitching corps is available for the
two series. That means Pete Ap-
pleton, Joe Cascarella, Jimmy De-
Shong, Earl Whitehill and Buck
Newsom, yea, even the wild Buck,
have the chance to jump into the
spotlight and money, such as third
or second place holds in store.
