The New York Giants are
among the many players talking
the contest Recently a poll was
taken among the teams roster
with the following interesting re-
suits:
Lou Gehrig, of the Yanks, was
almost a unanimous choice for
first base. Charlie Gehrlnger, of
the Tigers, got second base: Luke
Appling, White Sox, shortstop,
and Frank Higgins, of the AS,
third base.
The outfield polled Ducky Med
wick, of the Cards; Earl Averill,
of the Indians, and Mel OFT, of
the Giants. Bill Dickey, Of the
Yanks, was the catcher, and Dizzy
Dean, of the Cards, and Carl Hub
bell, of the Giants, the pitchers.
The interesting part of this
team is the third baseman.
There's been many a choice and
much discussion over this post
throughout the contest. But it
should settle in some minds that
If Higgins is thought enough of
by the players, Babe Ruth should
give him sound consideration.
But what do you think Of the
Giants team? Do you agree that
it is the best? Let's near your
ideas during the remaining days
of the contest, in addition to your
own teams and the reasons for
your selections.

Team Holds
TitIeHopeS
BY GARRETT WATERS

Fundamentals-that important
item in footballs taking up the
time of the Central and Tech
high school grid machines as they
go through practice PAGES at the
present time.
Later, of course, Coaches Hardy
Pearce, of the Mt. Pleasanters,
and Hap Hardell, of the Techites,
will send their charges into the
more advanced type Of work-in
the hope that "all" will be set for
the annual interhigh race-open-
ing late in october.
This yearly hysteria, to discuss
It briefly, finds Central in the
position as defending champion.
The Mt. Pleasantefs are fairly
well PREPARATION paper-to do a
repeat and it is this fact Coach
Hardy Pearce plans stressing be-
tween now and his teams open
ing game in the series, october %,
against Eastern.
Squad Of 43
A squad of 40 is now going
through it's PAGES at the Central
Stadium. Spotted among the
group are several veterans, includ-
ing Charlie Jones, who will be de-
veloped into center this year to
take Vince Meehan's place.
Johnny Swank, Joe Feuz and Sam
Fox, lineman, and Billy Vermil-
lion, Bill Ickes and Bernie AskinS,
backfield aces.
Charlie Jones and Billy Vermil-
hon were All-High players last
year. Jones won a guard post on
The Times team and Vermillion
the quarterback position. Both
promise to be as good this season,
if not better, because of their
experience, added stamina and
heft.
Coach Hardel, Of Tech, is his
usual pessimistic self over the
Trainers prospects. In 1885, he
was right in his "sob stories"
about his team, but nobody would
believe him until the Techmen fin
tShed third in the annual series.
The mentor should develop a
rather powerful team this fall,
however, as it's hard to believe he
can miss two years in row.
Must Find Center
The Techmen are at College
Park at present and will practice
there until school commences. An
important item in the teams
daily sessions will be the develop
ment Of a center to take the place
Of the graduated Moe Shulman,
who won himself All-High recogni-
ton in 1885. Hardell will, in all
probability, find his man, since it's
seldom been known of a Tech
team not to have fine ball
snapper in its lineup.
Western and Eastern will open
early drills next Tuesday. Dan
Ahern will look over the Western
squad at the Western stadium at
10 a. m. on that date, while Artie
Boyd will tell his boys what to do
at the Eastern stadium at the
same hour.
Roosevelt Highs drills will await
the return Of Coach Lynn Wood
worth from Europe. When that
mentor makes an appearance, &C
tivities will hum at the Roosevelt
stadium up Thirteenth Street way.
Morris Snead is Westerns lead
ing 1etterman. He is a backfieId
ace, and fast. AL KidweIl, back
field, is Eastern'S most well-knoWn
holdover.

tennis fans can speculate:
Will any Of the Capital en-

the national mems and women s
tennis tournament at Forest
Hills, L. l., which gets under
way today?
Among the masculine entries are
Barney Welsh, who hasn't lost a
District championship in three
years; Gilbert Hunt, the Sensa-
tional youngSter who might have
spoiled Barney's record If the
Rockville Rambler had been in the
Middle Atlantic singles tourna-
ment, and Hugh Lynch, who always
does well but manages to be out
claSsed by someone in every local
tournament he has entered the
past two years.
Frank Goeltz, tall Wilkes Barre,

clientele in divers tournaments
this year, will have D. c. rooters:
Washingtonians are backing
Mary Cootes, Alexandria's slim
cutie and District women's cham
peen in the feminine division, but
they will also keep a keen eye on
Edith Moore, of Montclair, N. j.,
who ever and anon slips down
to Washington to bring away q
title or two.
Welsh Lacks Zip
Welsh, slightly over-tennised
and lacking his early season zip,
is in a tough spot with J. Gill
bert Hall, the New York veteran,
as his first round opponent.
Barney holds a decision over the
old campaigner but that doesn't
worry j. Gilbert who can lose at
love one day and turn around
and reverse the tables on his
conqueror by the same score.
Helen Fulton, Winnetka, ILL.,,
fast climbing star, is Miss Cootes'
big worry, while Millicent Hirsch,
New York, will have to contend
with Edith Moore.

battling for the playground dou-
bleS honorS at Chevy Chase while
they await the bigger events.
The first big league" tourna-
ment in September is the third

The luck of Misses Moore and

something to this tournament, for

by tomorrow these two strong IA

Saturday, Miss Moore, winner two

Recalls Old Days


Belts was in the grandstand and
was called on to finish the game.
Later Billy became the best
known umpire identified with
amateur baseball when that sport
was really in flower here.
The Departmental League. the
Church League and the Com
mercial League, 80 years ago,
played as smart baseball as you'll
find in many of the minor leagues
today.
Belts still gloats over the Cornell
Wall Paper team and the Ameri-
can Security and Trust Company
team, with Chris Fenley and
others, as stars.
The Cornell team played the
champion Richmond Battle Axes
for the inter-ctiy title, and a Rich

with Washington, Joe Boehling,
was secuted in that game. So this

Fans Rough and Ready

Fans Rough and Ready
The fans, too, pretty well ran
wild, and they would heave any
thing they could lay a hand on
toward an umpire at whom they
happened to be irate.
Stocky Of build in his active
days as an arbiter, as he is to-
day, Billy Belts gained a wide
reputation as an umpire who
could not be bullied. He knew his
game, and he knew the wrath of
both the players and the public,
but he contrived to keep the
respect of all, ever controlling the
situation.
Belts recalls clearly the early
days of the American League
when Ban Johnson invaded Wash
ington with Ned Hanlon running
the Washington club. Johnson rec
ognized in Belts the qualities of
an umpire, and isAiected him into
the fray one day when assigned
umpire at Fifteenth and H Streets
Northeast was incapacitated as
the result of injury by a dis
gruntled ball player.
Instead of the arbiters having
charge Of the spare baSebaliS,
which were half dozen at the most,
the "extras" were kept on the
home bench. A decision Of UNI
pire Jack Haskell so enraged
pitcher Jacques Katol, that the lat
ter picked up all the spare base
balls on the bench and threw them
at Haskell, injuring him in his
lower leg.
