HITS CLUB TO WIN
ENDING DRAB TRIP
Detroit Effort Gives less
Shot at Travis Berth.
AS Here Tomorrow.

w YITH six-day stand at their

" " measure of respite, the bat.
tered Nationals return
home today to see what may be done
about regaining some ground that was
lost on the most disastrous trip in
recent years
Despite a 5-to-3 victory over the
Tigers yesterday in Detroit, the
Griffs brought back a record Of only
victories in IA Western starts, and
thereby sacrificed all reasonable hope
of running high in the money. Never
theless, their rout in the West failed
to move fourth place beyond reach
and unless the next two weeks are
met with more disasters the Wash
ington ball club still may be figured
among the first division contenders.
If there is a real chance of the
Griffs pulling themselves together.
the rest of the week will bring it to
light.
Idling today. Washington will swing
back into action tomorrow against
Connie Macks Athletics in a three
game series. After the AS will come
the Red Sox for their first appear
ance in Griffith Stadium since early
in May. Neither of these clubs has
bedeviled the Nationals like Cleve-
land, Chicago or New York and, un-
like every western club, except the
Browns, neither the Red Sox or the
Athletics are setting terrific pace.
The Griffs certainly have no cause
for complaint with the schedule.
Hill Bids for Right Field.
WITHOUT making formal an
nouncement TO the effect, Man.
ager Bucky Harris inserted new in
terest today when he hinted that
Washingtons right field place, held by
Cecil Travis ever since the Georgian
was removed from shortstop, has been
thrown wide open. Dissatisfied with
Travis showing in the West he de-
cided to hand Carl Reynolds the post
in Detroit. Then up steps Jesse Hill
yesterday to break ingle-handedly
seven-game losing streak by scoring
two runners with triple in the ninth
inning and counting a moment later
on a sensational steal of home. If
Harris throws open the right field
post. Hill served notice that he wants
to be considered.
Sharing honors with Hill was Pete
Appleton, the old curve baller. who
held the Bengals to eight hits and
pitched one of the three good games
produced by the Washington pitchers
on the entire trip. 1t was only. the
third game in which the opposition
failed TO reach double figures in the
hit column. leaving little reason to
wonder why the Griffs skidded so
completely on the tour. In St. Louis.

REAL INDIANS
TO BE FEATURE OF
THE BIG PARADE
Whole Countryside Invited For
The Fourth

Any man who cannot look back to
his youth and remember the time he
won foot race or swimming race at
a Fourth Of July picnic has missed
one of the major events of life. That
every kid in this community from
Prosser to Hover will have a chance
to enrich his experience, the Kenne-
wick Fourth of July committee is
making more elaborate preparations
than ever before to make this one of
the big events of the celebration.
Beginning with the big parade at
nine-thirty on the morning Of the
Fourth, there will be something do
ing every minute of the enter
tainment for the kids, youth, middle
and old age. All kinds of entertain
ment will be provided. The commit
tees are working day and night to
have everything in readiness for the
big event.
The parade will wind up at the
Kennewick park, where the conces-
sions will be arranged. Here the big
free program will be given, the band
concerts staged and the races held. In
the ditch alongside the park the water
events will be held and the kids can
cavort the whole day through.
The fine turf, with plenty of shade,
tables and benches will make it a
fine place to hold the big annual
Fourth of July picnic. Kennewick
people are doing everything possible
to make the visitors feel welcome and
have good time.
In the parade will be a group of
real wild west Indians in full tribal
regalia, cowboys and cowgirls, riding
cow ponies, whole flock of clowns,
headed by the band. The floats alone
will be worth travelling miles to see,
and the merchants are anticipating
the largest crowd Of visitors Kenne-
wick has ever had the honor of be-
ing host to.
Not a single effort is being spared
to make this the biggest celebration
ever held in this section of the state
and everyone is invited to come.

MORE CONTEST
PICTURESQUE

So popular has been the Movie
Star and Title Game. which ran
in The Washington Times for five
weeks up to last Saturday, that
librarians here are complaining
about mut1Iat1on of copies of The
Times on file in their institutions,
Persons desiring to enter the
contest have apparently been so
eager to secure actual copies or
make facSimilies of the puzzle pic
lures that library files have been
damaged.
In answer to requests that
something be done" to curb the
trouble, the Movie Game Editor
today announced that entrants who
lack certain of the pictures should
write or telephone the Circulation
Department of The Times rather
than visit libraries.
The circulation department can
be reached either at the offices
of The Times, 1917 H st. N. W., or
by telephoning District 1000.
Entrants were also reminded to-
day by the Movie Game Editor
that their answers should be sent
by first-claSs mail this week. To
be eligible for prize, an entry if
mailed must be postmarked not
later than midnight of Saturday,
December IL.
Meanwhile, dozens upon dozens
of entries were pouring into the
hands of the Movie Game Editor
and the work of selecting the
prize winners will begin as soon
as the board of judges is an
nounced by the publisher of The
Times.

TERRY PICKED
OUTSTANDING
NATIONAL PILOT

NEW YORK, Sept. Ii. tU.P)-On
the wall of Bill Terry's office at the
Polo Grounds hangs a one-word
Sign-"T HIN X"
ITS good word if you can use
it," says Terry.
Terry uses the word plenty in
managing the New York Giants. If
he didn't the Giants hardly would
be closing in on the National league
pennant after a prolonged drive of
two months which lifted them from
fifth place and 500 per cent ball to
the top.
In the business office, as well as
on the ball field, Terry is regard
ed as a shrewd man. He's hard to
beat in a trade and any place where
money is concerned Terry is a
tough customer AS a holdout un-
der John j. McGraw, Bill always
got his price or he didn't report.
Horace Stoneham, young president
of the Giants, says of his manager:
II wish I had his business sense" :"
The Giants have prospered finan-
cially since Terry was made manag-
er June 8, 1892"
Terry is the Stain of the Nation
al league. He's the only manager
in the league who has absolute
command of his club, with power to
act as he sees fit on or off the field
He has little trouble with his play
erS.
A heavy cigar smoker, Terry
clamps them in the corner of his
mouth at any angle which gives
him a surly look. His friends find
him affable but he doesn't waste
much time with people. He likes
highballs and usually coolS off over
a bottle of beer after a game He's
slow to get undressed after a game,
and sometimes fingers at the park
for an hour or more.
II don't have any place to go, y
says Terry, lust to the hotel to eat
and to bed"
He seldom laughs but is quick to
catch joke. His classic remark
was: rs Brooklyn still in the
league?" He was severely criticized
for the crack after the Dodgers
knocked the Giants out of the pen
nant in 1884 but his boss, young
Stoneham, considers Terrys re-

made. Terry was no fool when he

With six lettermen from
last years powerful junior

pected to report for the first
practice.
Taylor is counting on two To-
vans, Duncan Irish and Mike Nc
Laughlin, for two spots on the
backfield. The J. C. mentor has
only one backfield candidate from
last years eleven but hopes Irish
and Mclaughlin will solve his
problem.
Coach Taylor will issue equip
ment Tuesday between $50 and
7:30 and again Wednesday night,
Immediately before practice. Tay-,
lor stated he would iSsue no suits
