AS 70 million baseball fans
throughout the country prepare
to vote in the nationwide poll to
select the all-star teams of the
National and American Leauges
which meet at Braves Field on
July 7, local baseball enthusiasts
are not tagging behind the field.
Already fore-thinking diamond
students are sending their Selec-
tionS for the team into the sports
department of The Washington
Times. You are invited to join
the merry throng that is selecting
The Washington Times as its me-
dium of expression in baseball as
well as it's source of information
on the game. Send in your Selec-
tions and send them in early. This
is your chance to have a voice in
casting the all-star teams.

game. It's your game and this
is your chance to tell the man
ayers who you want to play.
Among the first voters to write
in to this department we're John
Worthington and Edgar Baker
Washington enthusiasts, they vote
for Buddy Lewis to play third
base in the big game and, of
course, they selected Joe Di
Maggie of the Yankees in the
outfield.
Lewis May Play
There is more than a fair
chance that Lewis will be in the
lineup at the turn for home, and
it will be most surprising if Di
Maggie is not up there catching
hot drives in left field and swing
ing his mighty bat in the pinches.

!. Is Seen Aid
To Travis
BY FRANK BUCK O'NEILL


The Griffs who greeted the vel.
coming crowd at Griffith Stadium
yesterday will face the rest of the
season on sink or swim, survive
or perish basis. There is always
the exception reserved for ad.
vantageouS trades, and Bucky
Harris is ever on the outlook for
anything that will help his club.
His quest is chiefly for pitchers,
but perhaps an infielder, a slug
ging Sprinter, would be welcome.
Cecil Travis was introduced as
. right fielder and Johnny Stone
was In left. That, in all probabil'
ity, is where these boys will spend
most of their time this summer.
Harris did not move Travis be-
cause he thought the drawlin'
Georgian was a failure at short
stop. To be sure, Travis was not
letter perfect in his play as an
1nfielder, but he probably could
have learned.
Insure Travis Future
Harris made his move to insure
the brightest possible future for
Travis. No question ever has
arisen concerning the youngsters

over the mounting problems
Of Shortstop play, Topped points
off his average. How well Travis
has responded to the relief af.
forded by outfield was manifest
yesterday. He got three clean
hits.
Red Kress will carry on at short
stop, and the carrot-topped min
ute man will play as well as he
played last year, or at any time
In his career. Kress is not the
fleeteSt runner in the world, but
he does know the batters, and his
reckless, devil-may-care style Of
play at shortstop will enable him
to make plays that a more con-
Servative athlete might miss.
It was KreSs who turned in

hitting in place of Rhodes, drove
o ball deep to KreSs's right. The
Shortstop rushed over, scooped up
the ball, and with slick peg to
Buddy Lewis, caught Moss in a
rundown.
Always in reserve is Ossie
Bluege, whose value to the GriffS
is two fold. He is a great de-
fensive ball player himself, and
he is a remarkable coach. Read
erS of this space were advised OF
Bluege'S sterling work in coach

BlueEe Aids
Lewis is not dull to the value
of Bluege, and the latter's con-
tribution to the advancement Of
the team. After games, on trains
and on all occasions where the
opportunity presents, Lewis seeks
out the veteran and propoundS
his problems. Bluege, the old
master, gives the answers and the
kid benefits.

game after being on the hospital

casion Tony Piet crashed into

the greatest city on the face of the
globe.
Perhaps some Of you have not
analyzed this Police Boys Club
work. If you haven't, let me give it
to you in four words.
It is this:
Dollars Do It
Fighting delinquency with
dollars"
And why is it the subject Of a
sports column?
Because the majority Of the pro
gram, already proven successful in
several precincts, is built around
a broad diet of athletics, both in
door and outdoor.
Several months ago told some
Of you readers that the way
in which Major Brown is veritably
adopting the boys of the National
Capital, proves he is practically
the godfather of every boy in
Washington who wishes to grow
up to be strong and healthy and
become a representative citizen.
Godmother Too
Since then the major has broad
ened the scope of the boys clubs to
the extent that I believe I prev
oiuSly somewhat undereStimated
his relationship to local kids. 1t
seems to me he is proving not only
a godfather to them, but a god
mother as well.
The Police Boys Club movement
can't be more than 80 months
old in so far as Washington is con-
cerned, and it is going forward in
satisfactory strides. Other cities
of the country are thinking of
adopting the idea to help solve
juvenile delinquency.
First built around some under
privileged youngsters in one OF the
less affluent neighborhoods OF
Washington, the Police Boys Clubs
took almost immediate hold on
the community concerned, and
the records of delinquency there
abouts showed fewer school tru-
ants, fewer petty miscreants, and
far less mischief of the sort that
requires an officer Of the law to
Straighten out.
Within a very short time, an
other neighborhood asked its po-
lice precincts to give it boys club
with a clubhouse affording gym
nasium, reading room, games,
puzzles; yes, and sometimes toys
for the very little fellows.
A Summer Camp
From that point. athletic fields
were embraced, and not long after
ward a summer camp for young
Sters who had no other means of
getting off the hot streets for a
week or two during Washington'S
torrid summers.
BY now the Police Boys Club
activity had come to stay. It was
established thoroughly in the
poorer precincts of the city, and,
OF all things, the slightly swanky
sections had come to asking for
clubs for their boys-and they're
going to get 'em.
Instead Of developing into an
outlet for boyish enthusiasm only
for youngsters without opportunity
for planned recreation, the Police
Boys Club thought has blosSomed
into something good enough to es-
tablish out yonder in the high
rent districts, where limouSines, in

East Washington Citizens Ask
for Augmented Service in
Morning Hours.

Continued agitation to secure trans
fer privileges between the Capital
Transit Co. services and the interstate
bus line was decided upon last night
by the East Washington Citizens
Association, meeting in the Bradbury
Heights Methodist Church
A number of the residents In the
Bradbury Heights territory are en-
ployed at points far of the route of
the Independent company. thereby
necessitating payment of a double
fare in travelling to and from work.
The association directed a request
to the management of the Maryland

be augmented by addition of one bus
trip.
Request for a fire alarm box at
Forty-fourth place and Hillside road
southeast, and plea to the Maryland
Park and Planning Commission that
it eliminate the sharp curve on Bowen
road at the District line, were voiced
by the groups
In response to requests made by the
association, communications from city
authorities disclosed that installation
of street lights on Ridge road south
east between Burns street and Anacos-
tia road was not considered justified,
and that improvement of alleys in the
area will be undertaken as soon as
necessary cinders are acquired.

LEAP YEAR HUNTING

Professor Finds Excess of Men in
Rural Areas-Big Cities Have
Fewer Girls, Too.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 15-Girls, the
wide-open spaces afford the best leap
year hunting ground, DR.. William F.
Ogburn says.
In a study of social characteristics
of cities, the University Of Chicago
authority learned there we're lis mer
to every 100 women in the rural areas.
But cities with a population of
million of more give the women
break. too. DR.. Ogburn said there
we're 102 men to 100 women in such
cities.
It's the towns Of $4,000 to 900, 600
populations which afford the slimmest
prospects There are only 95 men
to every 100 women in those places.
