Tenth Enrolment Period Slated
Next Month for Thousands
of Young Men.

Thousands of young men will receive
their first initiation into the Civilian
Conservation Corps on october l for
the tenth enrolment period. 1t is no
longer necessary to be on relief in order
to join the corps, it was explained by
the Region Forest Service office.
Regular hours, good food, healthful
work and an opportunity to improve
their education in evening classes are
among the outstanding advantages of
the corps, it was stated. The know
ledge gained in the evening classes, and
from the work projects in conservation,
has enabled other thousands OF young
men to secure positions in other fields
after leaving the CCC.
A number of the men who will soon
be enrolling will receive promotions to
leader and assistant leader with in
creased wages, it was stated. These
promotions give the men increased OPP
portunities for learning the principles
OF such conservation activities as Wild
life management, construction projects,
forest surveys and soil conservation.
Eight hours day are spent on work
projects, leaving evenings and week
ends for study and recreation.
Among the camp activities and studies
hat have furnished employment for the
men in private industry are automobile
mechanics, typewriting, cooking, bak-
ing, truck driving and clerical work. In
the past, some of the more outstanding
enrollees have been promoted to fore
men positions, and even to camp super
intendents at salary of $4,000 year.
1t was pointed out, however, that such
promotions are not as frequent as for
merly due to reduction in the number
of camps.
The average man usually gains from

YANKEE HOMERS
PARALYzE HOSE
IN DOUBLE BILL
Cubs Use Circuit
System to Win
By PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Only a
rank optimist today would con-
cede whether the Giants or the
White Sox more than a slim
outside chance to overhaul either
the Cubs or the Yankees.
The YankS and Cubs are each
seven games in front in their
respective leagues, margin that
should nudge the early birds to
put in their bids for world series
tickets.
Both clubs are simply over
powering the opposition. The
White Sox came to town yester-
day sold on the idea that the
Yankee defense is weak. Well,
the Yankee defense is not the
best in the world, at that, but
their power is something to make
good pitchers shudder. as 66,767
cash customers will attest.
The Yanks slaughtered their old
nemesis, Thornton Lee, who had
beaten them five times, u, and
then came from behind to trim
Johnny Whitehead, 5-3.
The remarkable part of the twin
victory was that all IL of the Yam
kee runs we're attributable to
homers. Lou Gehrig, playing his
1900th consecutive game, started
it in the first inning of the first
game when he belted his twenty
second homer with two on. Then
Tony Lazzeri came through with
his No. 8 and Joe DiMaggio. got
No. 80, with two aboard.
Tony got No. 9 for himself in
the nightcap, and when the YankS
went into their half of the eighth
trailing, 81, Bill Dickey parked
his nineteenth round tripper into
the bleacherS at a time when the
bases were fully tenanted.
The Cubs used the same system
to trim the Phils, Al. Bill Lee
held the Phils to three hits, and
Demaree, Hartnett and Lee him.
self accounted for all the Cub runs
with homers.
Willy old Connie Mack tried q
new system to trim Tommy Bridges
and the Tigers, 81. Connie
called on Thomas, Fink and Nelson
to work three innings each and
the system worked like a charm
when Earl Brucker was thoughtful
enough to hit a homer.
Lefty Grove found soft touch
in Cleveland, the Red Sox beating
the Indians, 1872, but Yves Terrell
and the other Senators had to
travel II heats to get a 3-to-2 de-
cision over Hogsett and the
Browns.
The Reds downed the Giants
80 in 10 innings, Hollingsworth
out-pitching Schumacher and the
Cards, with johnson pitching q
six-hitter, beat the Bees, So.
The Pirates knocked off the
Dodgers in a double-header 81,
and 1914, and sent the Skidding
Brooklyn aggregation closer to the
cellar position.

LOUIS OFFERED
co With LEWIS

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 4-Pro-
moter Ellwood Rigby today re-
peated his offer of a $450,000
guarantee for a Joe Louis-John
Henry Lewis fight in Pittsburgh
after getting John Henry'S John
Hancock on a contract at din
ner given newspapermen last
night.
Rigby repeated his offer to
Mike Jacobs of New York, who
holds an option on Louis, and
Julian Black, one of the heavy
weight champs managers.
Rigby'S ntract with John
Henry, the light heavyweight
champ, calls for Is per cent of
the receipts left after Louis is
paid and also $1,000 for training
expenses. Rigby and his hackers
agreed to LAY 100000 on the
line" if Joe Louis accepts the
offer.
Rigby and his hackers were rep.
resented by Attorney Leo Levy
while John Henry was represented
by Gus Greenlee.
If the bout goes through for
Forbes Field here, Rigby said he
would limit the top to $50.
John Henry meanwhile went
into serious training for his IL
round non-title bout here August
II with Italo Colonello, an Italian
heavyweight, who was decorated
by Premier Mussolino for his work
in Ethiopia, according to hi
hackers.

VENTURE TO BOX
PHIL FURR HERE

Vittorio Ventura, the italian
welterweight champion who i'm
pressed several thousand fans on
the Brescia-Tow card, makes his
second appearance at Griffith
Stadium next Monday night,
meeting Phil Fur, the fast-mov-
ing District scrapper, in the ten
round feature match.
Ventura, who is the brother of
Enrico Ventura, the third rank
ing lightweight, is remembered
for his smashing conquest of
Sammy Meadows, outstanding
Bronx fighter a few weeks ago
when Brescia won a much de.
puted decision from Alexandria
Bob Tow. Ventura, a stablemate
of BreScia, handled by Louis
Soresi, stopped Meadows in the
eighth round with a blistering
two-fisted attack.
Fur recently returned from
the Pacific Coast where he won
two out of three fights under
Chris Dundee's direction. Phil
lost a close verdict to Ceferino
Garcia, number one welterweight
challenger, who meets Barney
ROSS for the world title next
month, and defeated Jimmy Best
at Takoma and Tiger Al Lewis
at Seattle.

way. MeIo Armada, however
slapped a double to right, and
hope for at least a tie flared in the
hearts of the crowd. Buddy Lewis
then came to bat and hit a hopper
down the first base line. 1t was
an easy shot and looked like a
sure out. But the ball hit clod
of earth and leaped into right field,
scoring Alamada with the tying
run.
Travis then crashed a double,
his fifth hit Of the day, and up
came Simmons.
Jim Bottomley took a desperate
chance. Simmons had been q
sucker for Hogset all day, buo
Simmons still is Simmons, and
apt to hit any ball a mile. So
Bottomley ordered him passed,
filling the bases and bringing up
Stone, a left-handed hitter who
had made two hits off Hogsett.
Works Against Stone
The same percentages that might
have worked for Simmons were
working against Stone. But there
is always the exception, and Stone
laid into the ball for a single, scor.
ing Lewis with the winning run.
The Browns had their chances
to do big things. In the first in"
ming they filled the bases with two
out and Knickerbocker hoisted to
Stone. In the fifth they scored
their one run, Vosmik's triple chaS-
ing West home. But Cliff could
not score Vosmik.
In the eighth the Browns had
the bases loaded and HemSley flied
to Stone. With two on bases IN

and he did the same thing in the
twelfth.
The Griffs failed to make the
most of their chances, which, OF
course, stands as tribute to Hog
sets pitching. They got no fewer
than II hits, but every time you
look up. a Washington player was
hitting into a double play. The
Brownies made four two-way kill

This opened the way for a win

his way through and sent the
game into extra innings.

duels of the season.
For all the expression in the sun
tanned face of the Kansan, he
might have won instead of losing
in the twelfth inning of a game
that saw Cecil Travis leap into the
lead of the American League, and
the Griffs defeat the Brownies by
a score of 3 to 2.
"Those kind are tough to
lose" HOgsett said after the
game.
There was no bitterness in his
tone. Defeat suffered again and
again brings resignation at last.
But Hogsett had spoken the whole
truth when he said that those
kind of games are tough to lose.

Bucky Harris said after the
game was over. "But Terrell

The Browns punched a run over
in the first half of the final
inning. Davis walked and West
singled, sending him to third.

A pass to Cliff set up situation
for Bell, but the beau gallant

halfback and one of the grldiron
aces Of all time, will thrill crowds

local outfit. according to his team
mate of college days, Riley Smith,
another All-America players who
is likewise a member OF the local
professionals.
Howell tried his hand at pro-
fessional baseball following his
graduation from University OF
Alabama. He signed with the
Detroit Tigers, but was turned
back to the minors for season
ing. Like many another college
grid star. Howell found that
while it was relatively easy to
throw strikes with a football on
a gridiron, it was just as diff
cult to hit the strikes thrown by
professional pitchers. So after
giving baseball a fair trial, Dixie
decided to return to his 1lrSt
love, the gridiron.
Scores Three
Football fans on the Pacific
Coast still thrill to the name OF
Dixie Howell. He was directly
responsible for three touchdoWns
against Stanford. He raced 81
yards through broken field for
a touchdown and followed this
with a five-yard thrust off tackle
for a score. He threw a 69-yard
pass to Don HutSon who caught
the ball and crossed the line.
Nine out of IL passes thrown
by Howell was completed for
a total gain of 1854 yards. One
was incompleted and one was
intercepted. He passed to Hut
son for 10 yards; to Demyanovich
for II yards; to Bryant for Is
wards; to Hutson for five yards;
to Hutson for "a yards, to
BRYANT for 10 yards; to Hutson
for IS yards, to Candy for 6
yards and to Hutson again for
SO yards.
Howell gave the boys a thrill in
carrying the ball against Stan
ford, He packed the leather IA
times for net gain of 80 yards.
He was stopped four times, lost a
total of II yards, but gained a
total of 106 yards. He averaged
close to As yards from scrlmmage
in punting.
Had Everything
The hard bitten Tiny Tholnhlll,
coach of Stanford, said that
Howell was two all-Americas."
Howell had everything a great
player should have.
With Howell as an added gu1l
in the Redskin backfield, the team
should do right well through the
air.
"singin' Sam" Baugh, Milo
Falaschi, Cliff Battles and Howell
will give the Redskins four Of the
great passing backs of this day
and age.
Already established as a great
defensive team, the Washington
