SabO Does Fairly Well
While Alex Sabo is carrying on
behind the bat with all the en-
thusiasm of a college sophomore
there are indications that perhaps
Red KreSs will attempt to master
the arts and knacks of major
league catching. Kress had q
workout before the game, and
may continue his laborS. 1t will
be recalled that last spring Har
riS wanted Kress to catch in train
ing camp. In fact, it was an
nounced that KreSs would catch
the game against Chattanooga in
Daytona. At the last minute, how
ever, KreSs recanted and re
manned an infielder.
Sabo did a right good job of
catching yesterdays ball game
He made a remarkable catch Of
foul ball by Harry Kelley, and
whacked a single down the third
base line. In fact, twas hard luck

that robbed Sabo of a double.
Bill was basking in the sun back

Sabo's drive that had bored past

Athletics are a great two-inning

was the first two innings that

What and When?
"T would like for you to give
me some information about
sports.
''What do the people in Wash
fngtOn do during the months
Of September and October?
Where do they go? What sports
are in season?
"Ts Washington a good sports
town? Do people here take to
sports?
"When will the world series
be played?
'"When does football begin?
"Are any games of Importance

c. people can go?
"Does fighting draw a crowd?
''When do the races start and
end?
Dear lady, to take up your
aueStionnaire in the order you sub
NIT it:
The main sports available to
Washingtonians in September and
October are baseball (the fag end1 &,
football (the preliminary training)
and the early and least important
games and the Presidents Cup Re
gatta which will be staged on the
Potomac River off Hains Point
September "a, 25, 26 and 27.
As to Baseball
The baseball teams to appear
in the months you specify include
the st. Louis Browns, the cham
pion Detroit Tigers, the Philadel-
phia Athletics, the Boston Red
sox and finally the New York
Yankees, likely winners of the
1886 American League title. The
world series will probably start
September % in New York.
There will be weekly boxing and
wrestling at Griffith Stadium with
probably one outstanding fight
embracing Marty Gallagher and
a fitting foe. The others will be
run-of-the-mine cards like last
Mondays and many OF the Mon
days preceding.
Fights do not draw we'll here,
Madame, for the reason that the
promoters either cannot or WILL
not bring in refreshing talent, pre-
ferring to stick to the old familiar
faces of which Washington has
long grown tired.
The exact wrestling attractions
are not yet known for the two
months about which you are seek

will be sure to be featured as
likely will Joe Cox and Mad Ivan
