Niddies LOOKING
To Football
Season

ANNAPOLIS, June 3.-At the
end of the worst year in sports it
has had in modern times, the
Navy is taking stock, considering
sources of its weakness, and de-
Gliding upon means whereby it can
improve conditions.
It feels with particular keen.
ness its poor showing during the
year in the sports in which it
meets the Army. There are five
of these, and the Navy lost in
football, basketball, lacrosse, and
track, the one-run victory in the
baseball game being all that saved
the sailors from a complete white.
wash.
Hurt, but not discouraged, Navy
people will take all necessary
means to raise the standard of its
teams, or, rather, to bring them
back to the position they occupied
some years ago.
Movement Begins
The movement already has be-
gun as to football, the sport in
which there will be the next meet
ing of the service schools. The
spring practice just completed has
been the most thorough in the
history of the acadamy, and the
squad will be grouped on one ship
during the summer practice cruise,
and everything that can possibly
be done to help it along, will be
done.
The Navy looks forward in par
ticular to the two fine classes
which have most recently been ad-
mitted to the academy, and the
prospects of getting more youths
of athletic aptitude with the
larger classes that are now about
to enter.
This years third class, whose
members were in their first varsity
year, made a splendid showing,
and were the basis of several Of
the most important teams. The
fourth class looked to be just as
efficient athleticallys and the
members of Both of these classes
will be available next year for
the varsity teams.
Not So Great
Losses Of athletes by the gradua-
tion of the present class are not
so great as in other years. For
instance, the only regulars lost to
the football team will be Lou Rob
ertshaw, center, and Dick Pratt
and Tom King, backs. The basket
ball team loses only Carl Fellows,
it's captain, who played guard.
The graduation of the class of
1886 will take some good men from
the other sports in which the Navy
meets the Army, but they should
be more than made up by the
natural improvement Of the men
who remain and the recruits from
the promising plebe class Of last
year.
Navy people do not concede that
the recent meetings Of its teams
with the Army's indicate the real
relative strength, and are deter.
mined to get at the root of the
trouble and take the right way
of remedying it.

MANGA ~ N-NITCHELL CLASH BRLNGSBA OK TENNIS
Gdrnett Holds
Fans Eye in
Tourney
By GINO SINH

The wheel that goes round
and round, takes a backward
spin today at p. m. at the
Edgemoor Country Club when
two men whose many previous
meetings have made immortal
tennis in washington, face each
other across the net for the UNI
teenth time.
History turns back to the
glamorous days Of 90 and 80
as Dooly Mitchell, defending city
of Washington champion, comes
to grip with veteran Tom Man
gam, who can match the George
town prof" title for title and
still have enough cups left over
for afternoon tea.
Time was when Mangan went
into the fray against the guy
with the sweater, the odds-on
favorite, but not in recent years.
However, Dooly knows that he
must be on his best game to
hold the old campaigner, who
once gave the mighty Bill Tilden
in his heydays a scare.
Mangan First Champion
Many a past tournament has
found this same pair battling 1t
out for the diadem and though
Dooly is seeking his sixth straight
City of Washington crown, he
can't help remembering the fact
that the first man to wear the
tournaments royal robes Of blue
was this same Mangam back
in '29.
During the past three years
Mangan hasn't had the time to
devote to the game in which he
was once the city's best without
q dissenting vote until the Mitch
ellis, the Considines and the
Welshes and the passage of time
kinda changed things.
The younger generation may
not see much more than a good
quarterfinal match in today's
meeting but the old-timers will
shed q few weary years off their
shoulders as they watch the two
wizards go at it hammer and
tongs as in the days Of yore.
Watch YeIvertOn
Yelverton Garnett, due to his
not too surprising victory over
Ralph McElvenny, will be the
cynosure of all eyes as he trots
on the courts against Tony
Latona in another quarterfinal
tussle which should bring out
some exciting tennis.
Latona is anxious to stay in
competition and at the same
time prove to the young Choate
School giant that he mustn't get
too frisky with established local
top-notchers. A victory over
Tony would make Garnett a
strong contender for one of the
11nal berthS.
Tom Markey went down with all
colors flying under the bludgeon-
ing tennis of Barney Welsh, the
fayorite, yesterday. After a bitter
struggle for the first set which
Welsh won, 8-6, Markey squeezed
through to take the second, Ga,
but Barney just had too much
stamina in the third and deciding
one, winning it, Ga.
Yelverton Garnett and Tom
Moorehead placed themselves in
q strong position in the doubles
when they trimmed Hugh Lynch
and Bill Buchanan in straight
sets, though both went overtime,
11-9, IS.

Joseph E. Widener always has con-
tended that Fair Play Gather OF
Man O. War; was a greater sire
than the superhorse. Because, he
sets forth, the objective of every
good racing stallion entering the
stud is to reproduce himSef-or
better.
Fair Play, second best horse Of
his year, did that when he begot
Man o. War-a horse who could
outrun his daddy by ever so many
lengths. Man O. Wars best, on
the other hand, was Crusader, and
nobody has yet contended that fel-
low could beat his pappy. Ergo:
Fair Play outbred himself, while
Man o. War hasn't even repro
duced himself. (But-sayS one dis
disSenter, Fair Play did not have
so great a task as Man O. War. Get
ting a faster race horse than Fair

a Man o. WarD
Two Of the nations most success
full trainers seldom make a bet
and then it's small one: Hirsch
Jacobs and Jim FitzsimmonS.
However, betting doesn't necessa-
rily keep a trainer from being sue
cessful-Sam (Grey Lag) Hildreth,
Bob (Cavalcade) Smith and Bob
(Broomstick) Tucker all were high
players.
Ex-jockeys have clicked in big
ways as trainers and clockers and
officials. But one of them has
yet to ring the bell as handi-
Gaping horse-player.
Agitation is on to have Brevity
run for the Belmont without
blinkerS. His admirers and
right now apologizerS assert
something besides Brevity himself
and Jockey Wayne Wright are
responsible for the colts failure
to leave the post head-and-head
with his rivals.
Though you couldn't have
bought Brevity-after the Florida
Oerby-for any price, and you
could have bought Rushaway fol
$40, ,000-as A. G. Tarn did {.
RuShaway is winner this year Of
more than $4,000 to Brevity'S less
than 80 grand. But Brevity is
still the more valuable horse, for
he's a beautifully conformed staI
lion, while Rushaway is a gelding.
Which reminds that Joseph E.
Widener, who sold RuShaway, is
a veritable Marshall Field OF
Macy'S among m erchants OF
horses. The list of developed
race horses he has sold and seen
go on to win big prizes in other
owners colors is a long one. Like
the late John Madden, Widenel
aims to give his customers fun
value for their money.

And right there was where the
battle started among that merry
crew of roughnecks-the gas house
gang Of st. Louis.

Ryba, "you gotta pitch to spots
to get by in this league"
"Yeh, seq yOu!" sneered Paul.
"Old Diz and me just fog 'em

to fog 'em right through the

so the hitter don't hit it,"
Such unheard-of frankness,
amounting to nothing less than
sheer heresy, had Bill Hallahan.
old Jesse Haines, Bill Walker,
Bud Parmelee and the other Car
dinal pitchers stumped for a min
ute. Then they began to pour
in objections, but Paul stuck by
his guns. &.
'There amt any smart pitch
ers," he insisted. "SOme Of us,
like Diz and me, are just
dumber and stronger that
Others"
The gang quickly cited Herb
Pennock, Adolfo Luque, Waite
Hoyt and Yves Ferrell as smart
pitchers, masters of the art Of
pitching to spots.
Bunk" scOffed Paul. "They
won because they had plenty of
stuff and when they lost their
stuff, they lost their games.
When their arms went they
couldn't throw that ball with
their heads Look at Walter
Johnson or Dazzy Vance or
Lefty Grove. Those guys weren't
smart and they didn't have to
be-"
But you got to have CONTROL"
HaineS insisted.
mo, sir, you do not. Look at
me. I don't know where the
balls going half the time and
don't care. I'll let you in on
something-Old Diz and me, we
just aim everything right down
the middle and let 'er CO."
But" said HeusSer, as one
might talk to an unruly child,
"yOu gotta admit that when you
begin to lose some Of your stuff,
you'll have to learn to pitch to
spots and get control and maybe
come up with a screw ball"
"Ha.ha," ha-haed Paul, "that's
a laugh. / never saw but one
screw ball that was worth q
darn and Carl HubbelPS got that
and 1 thought throwing it would
finish him long ago.
"No, sir, I'll never learn it. I
won't even try to learn to be
smart. When ! lose my stuff,
I'll be through and no amount
of Smartness would save my
bacon.
"That high hard one and q
fast curve Is all that matters.
Remember famed Gabby Hart
nett in q clutch in Chicago?
frankie says pitch him low out

I pitched him one belt-high right
down the middle under that big
belly of his and he missed it q
foot. Now did Frankie'S smart
ness or my hard one fan Gabby?
You can take the smart stuff,
I'll bank on the high hard one"
The gang shook their heads
sadly and smart old Jesse HaineS
said:
Maybe the nut is right at
that. I know darn well he
doesn't even know who he's
pitching to half the time"
And there, my friends, you have

the Dean boys great pitchers.
