Immediately after the Dodgers
scored a SO triumph over the
Cards yesterday, Manager Casey
Stengel, Of the BrooklynS and
Leo Durocher, scrappy shortstop
of the gaShouSe gang, came to
grips in the tunnel leading from
the dugout to the clubhouse.
Special park policemen broke
up the fight, but not before a
few good punches had been
landed by both sides. The con-
sensus of experts was that Stengel
had a slight shade in the going,
thanks to q superior left hook.
In Cleveland, Manager Steve

The reason is simple enough.
Barry is $50 pounds Of muscle,

SPECIAL JURY
QUIZ IN BOND
RACKET SEEN

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Oct.
22.-Convinced that evidence in
dictates existence Of bargain
fine" system and bonding racket
among some Prince Georges
county police and bondSmen,
court officials here today were
considering calling a special grand
jury to investigate.
Evidence uncovered by attor-
neys retained by the Keystone
Auto Club in a private investl-
CATION during the past two
months has resulted in the call
ing of members Of the county
police force, six justices OF the
peace, Major Enoch Carey, super
intendent of the State police, and
Chief j. j. Crowley, head OF the
county force, before the jury.
Traffic records of state police
stationed at Laurel and Waldorf,
called for comparison with those
of the county police, showed con-
victions in SO per cent OF cases,
while county police showed con-
victions in only 26 per cent Of their
cases.
Today two District motorists
who charge they were victimized
in the racket, will appear before
the grand Jury to tell their stories.
Those expected to testify are mem
berS of the keystone Club who
have signed affidavits stating
that they were assessed $1O1.5O
and court costs on traffic
charge, when police records show
that only $11.50 of the fine was
turned over to the county.
In most cases the traffic Of
fender was charged with either
driving at a speed exceeding so
or driving while under the influ-
ence of liquor or both. Each Of
tense carries a minimum fine Of
$1O0 and court costs. In addition,
the offender is forced to pay $50
to 500 to the friendly" bonds
man before he can get out OF the
cell, Keystone attorneys charged.

Losses by graduation have been
offset by improvement in the work
of those remaining and by strong
reinforcements from the plebe
class of last year. and Spike
Webb, Navy's boxing coach since
it's first competitions in that line,
is confident of having a team
fully up to the standard.
The season opens against West
ern Maryland. at Annapolis on
February /, and Syracuse and
Penn State following on successive
Saturdays. On February %, the
team will go to Charlottesville for
a concluding match with the Uni
versity of Virginia.
The team is rounding out and
there are outstanding boxers in
several of the classes. George
Daunis. a plebe last year, is well
ahead at the 1l5-pound weight,
and Henry Hemenway, lis
FOUNDER last season, has moved
into the 125-pound class. Capt.
Jack Bitch has little opposition
at lis pounds.
The 145-pound group has three
good men in Cliff Hooker, Ned
Luby and Bill Price. while Webster
Smith, who fought one match last
year, looks best at 155 pounds.
Plebes of last year. Jack
Tretheway and Bob Griffen. look
to be well ahead at 165 and IT'S
pounds.
With four stalwart mittmen,
each weighing around 200 pounds,
hard at work in the unlimited
weight class, Webb is now hopeful
of filling the place of the I'm.
beaten Slade Cutter adequately.
The candidates at this weight
are George Francis, Lew fanny.
Jim Andrews and Herbert Burk-
art. Francis and fanny are
doing specially good work.
The daily bouts are attracting
much interest and through them
Coach Webb is putting the edge
on the team for its coming
matches. Ambitious for places on
the team, the contestants put up
the liveliest kind of battles. and
many of the bouts rival in in
terest those between representa-
tives of different colleges.

time and tide, wind or fire, Bluege
is the sweetest fielder of them all.
If Harris is eager to get the Griffs
off to the best possible start, and
it is reasonable to assume that he
does, one way of achieving that
end would be to suit Bluege at
third base and give Lewis a
chance to get his bearings. Bluege
would go like a house on fire for
a couple of months. If he should
require a rest at the end of such
time. it would be all right to put
Lewis at the turn for home and
hope for the best.
There seems to be a disposition
to excuse Jesse Hills batting
average of .293 on the grounds
that he is a lead off man. 1t is
hard to see where leading off af-
fects the average. 1t does have a
definite bearing on a mans stand
ing among the run producing
agents of a team. He spots the
rest of the field 154 times at bat
when he just can't drive in a run.
But as for getting a hit the
first time up, why not? The
swing is the same, and if the ball
is over the plate, a good hitter
will hit. He might even hit a
home run the first time at bat.
