Griffith first attempted to make
the trade on a cash and carry
basis, but Mccarthy was cool to
this proposition. Mccarthy would
be willing to listen if Red KreSS
were included in the propositions
made tentatively by Griffith. The
Yankees need an infielder who
can play any position and hit the
way KreSS hit last season. KresS
has a lifetime average of .287
despite bad years in 1888 and '34.
MCCARTHY was cool to a cash
and carry trade" Griffith said
this morning after spending the
AFTERNOON with the leader Of the
Yankees. "He indicated that he
would like to get 3 player, and
fiddled around in q way that
would indicate that he would

"The way the matter stands
now, I expect Mccarthy to get

although Colonel Rupert is in
st. Petersburg, and I will hear
something from him shortly"
Griffith said.

And so the trade so Strenu-

Mccarthy will hold a conference

~ I'D anybody say Washington's
tennis fans wouldn't pay to
see good matches! II they
- did they were out of order.
Not the largest, but certainly the
most significant crowd of the oeason
was present at the Edgemoor Club
for the semi-final matches of the
Middle Atlantic tournament on Sun
day, and any difference in numbers
between that group and the record
throng which saw Barney Welsh play
Yelverton Garnett for the City Of
Washington championship back in
June is explainable by two answers.
In the first place, through no fault
of the committee, Sundays event was
not a championship encounter, and a
titleless match traditionally draws
less than any other encounter.
Rain had set back the tour
nament schedule by one full
day, thus throwing the Sabbath
out of the picture as the date of
the fina! match.
Secondly, it was the first time. that
admission to tennis matches had been
charged, and there are always a
handful who stay away the first time
a preivously-free event is offered for
sale. Methinks it won't be that way
next time, for just as the cports-
loving public must be educated to any
new idea, so must it learn that tennis
matches are worth paying TO see, just
as base ball games, golf exhibitions or
any type of sporting event.
Local tennis now has a faith
full following that can be seen
at any important match.
And just as those few hundreds
will spread the news of the thrills
they derive any afternoon they sit
through match, so will that follow
ing spread and the tennis public
grow in leaps and bounds.

atmosphere smacked of a big League

JOE PRIME CHOICE
TO SLAM SHARKEY
Dusky Heavy Tells BraSh
Band He Will Go Right
to Work This Time.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

n YEW YORK, August 12.-As far
nj as the eye can see, boxing ex-
" perts are crawling out from
under fiat stones and predict
ing fearleSSly that Joe Louis will
hammer the hormones out of Jack
Sharkey, nee CuckoShay. You can't
keep an expert down.
Some of these chaps have been
festivating in caves since the Louis
Schmeling fight. Some of them
shipped on freighters and went around
the world to forget. Some lurked in
swamps and underbrush for month
after month. Some grew boards.
Some took the cloth and retired to
monasteries. Some joined the foreign
legion, and scattered few, including
your correspondent, escaped from
hospitals and sanitariulns and vowed
sternly and silently that this was the
dawn of a new life. A mysterious
voice. from out of the great nowhere,
seemed to whisper:
The past is forgotten. Go, and
prognosticate no more
But Joe Louis is back in training
for another fight, and the boxing ex-
perts, than whom there are no whomer
when it comes to short memories and
rhinoceros hides, are doing business
at the old stand. For the price of a
daily paper they will call the round
and the punch, and for two bits extra

Call Schmeling Fight Mistake.

THE opinion of the brash brother
hood seems to be that the Schmel-
ing fight was all a mistake. These
hardened criminals are limiting with
out a blush that they felt in their
bones that Louis was due for one bad
fight, and, if you suckers had only
read between the lines, you would
have known it, too. In short, Jack
Sharkey is due for a terrific pasting
and this time you are getting the
genuine article, with no strings at
tached.
Well, that's as may be. Your CORE
spondent, who suffered a deep and
possibly permanent shock when Mr.
Louis fell to his launches that night
marish night in June, is going to
lower all records for gingerliness in
picking this next one (but frankly
fellows. it'll be a right hook in 2
minutes and Is seconds of the third
round).
Mr.. Louis feels the same way. He
Is playing it close to his vest this
time and torture and hell-fire could

of the young man from Detroit. Pass

Makes No Predictions.

ITS job Of work, and he expects to
perform it in swing time. Under
strict orders to make no predictions,
especially predictions of the sanguine
variety. Mr.. Louis still manages to
think his own thoughts, and will
wager the cost of excavation that
those thoughts concede very little
chance to Mr.. Sharkey.
This Is peculiar fight in one
way-namely, that it derives its box
office value from the state of mind of
one of the fighters. People will pay
to see it almost entirely because they
want to find out how Louis thinks and
feels since the shellacking he took
from Herr Schmeling.
I'm only guessing when I say that
he thinks and feels the same as ever.
Maybe he doesn't. Maybe he's a diff
ferent fighter. Maybe he's been shat
tered for all time and maybe he's
been improved by experience. The
appeal of the Sharkey fight Is strictly
speculative.
Mr.. Sharkey. who thus shapes up as
. sort of psychoanalyist's dummy,
owes a great debt Of gratitude to the
man responsible for all this brain
probing, Herr Schmeling.

Griffs Now Get Jump.

THUS, if they can sweep the series
with the Yanks by winning today,
the Harrismen will be in grand po-
sition to contest the Red Sox's right
to fifth place during the series that
will wind up this week. They still are
within reaching distance of not only
fifth place but of first-division berth.
The Griffs' new-found ability to
get the jump on the opposition Is
something good to watch. In the
opener of the Yankee series the Mats
got off to 6-to-1 lead and coasted
home. Yesterday they hoped on
Johnny Broaca for five runs In the
first inning and breezed home again.
Cascarella gave up II hits. which
was one more than Washington got,
but he was tight in the pinches and
twice during the fray the Griffs came
through with double plays. Broaca
and Pat Malone, on the other hand,
gave up hits when they meant runs.
Ben Chapman walked to start the
game and Lewis promptly tripled him
home. A walk to Travis, single by
Stone, a sacrifice by Reynolds, an
other single by Bluege and an error
by Crosetti on Miles grounder pro-
duced four more runs.
