BALLOU SUPPORTED
BY CITIZEN GROUP
Anacostia Unit Backs Fight on
School Burden of Nearby
Pupils.

The Anacostia Citizens Association
last night voted to support Supt. OF
Schools Frank w. Ballou in his stand
that the District should not be forced
to bear the expense of educating chill
dren who attend from nearby areas.
Capt. Frank M. Dent, retired police
officer, introduced the resolution, citing
lack of adequate space as the primary
objection.
Capt. Dent commended DR.. Ballou
for his staunch fight on behalf OF the
public schools to relieve congestion,
declaring that this position was not
being taken with the thought of Sc
curing revenue but giving the students
more favorable conditions under
which to work.

Stevens Is Star
As Sea Fooders
RetakeL Lead

Ousting National Savings Bank
from first place in the Industrial
League, the O'DonnelPS Sea Grill
outfit shot back into the lead
this week by virtue of the pitch
ing and hitting of Lefty Stevens.
It was Lefty's superb perform
ance against the Bankers on
Wednesday which lifted the first
half champions to the top rung
with a So victory. Stevens al,
lowed the Bankers four hits,
knocked in two runs and scored
a third.
Thus the Grillmen enter the
home stretch drive tomorrow
against Coffey Screen Company,
half a game to the better over
National Savings. The Bankers
play only one game this week,
Coffey also providing the opposI'
ton on Wednesday. =
Old Milwaukee Beer, one OF
the city's most powerful clubs,
lost two close decisions during
the week, one to Coffey Screen,
4 to 2, and another to National
Savings, 3 to l.. The Beermen
are still very much in the run
ming and victories over Heurich's
on Tuesday and O'Donnell's on
Thursday will put them in the
thick of the pennant chase.
Either Bill Cleveland, former
Dewitt Prep footballer, or Bill
Kafka, ex.War College pitcher. will
do the hurting for Coffey Screen
against the leaders. Manager Bill
Ethridge, of O'Donnell'S, is tenta-
lively counting on Granston How
ard to halt the ScreenerS, saving
Stevens for Thursdays fracaS with
Old Milwaukee.
The "battle of the beermen" on
Tuesday in all probability will find
Jesse James or Willie Silverman
on the mound for Heurich'S and
the ever-formidable Reggie Brown
steaming 'em over for Old Mil
waukee.
With Joe Garvey on the firing
line for National Savings, the
Bankers will make their bid to re.
gain first place in Thursdays set to
with the vastly improved Coffey

Cecil Travis is still making runs
score on Whitehill, but this time
it is perfectly all right-with
Travis. The drawlin' Georgia lad
came to the bat with the bases
loaded and tripled to left field off
Whitehill. It was Cecil S third
safety off Whitehill.
Whitehill was at once the Hoo
ligan and the hero Of the fourth.
He made a mess of Lewis
grounder to Shortstop, and then
turned around to make one of the
sensational plays of the after
noon; a one-handed grab of a hot
smash by Simmons.
Miles was up twice in the
fourth inning and made two safe
hits. Just singles, but they brought
his total to three for the day.
Hughes got very lucky hit off
DeShong'S glove in the sixth in
ming, but two force plays took the
teeth out of the Tribes threat.
AL Simmons sent Averill right
back to the center field fence in
the sixth for a long fly. 1t looked
like a triple when it started, but
it was just a time at bat at the
end.

ming was not the most robust
drive in the world, but it did
very nicely under the conditions.
The ball dropped between Hughes
and Weatherly.
A scratch hit by Kuhel and a
fly by Myer scored Stone. Miles
barged into the picture with a
single, but was over-ambitious
and was run down between first
and second.
Averill looked real mad when
called out on strikes by Harry
Geisel in the third frame. But
really, Earl, the ball was through
the middle.
AS fine an exhibition of the hit
and run play that will gladden. a
crowd this season was flashed in
the third inning. Lewis singled,
and with Travis at bat, Buddy
broke for second, Hughes started
to cover, and Travis hit through
the vacant territory.
Simmons followed with a triple
to center. The Powerful Pole
loves to come up in the pinches,
and he usually comes through
with blow. Just a real good run
producer.
Moose Solters missed a home
run by a couple of feet in the
fourth inning, and then turned
right around to slap a double to
right. Twas a right good double
too.

Travis Assumes
AL. Slug Lead

Cecil Travis, shortstop Of the
Griffs, stepped into the lead in the
race for batting honorS in the
American League, crashing
through to the place of honor in a
terrific barrage laid down on Earle
Whitehill and Lloyd Brown Of the
Cleveland Indians yesterday.
Travis hit two singles, triple
and a home run off the left
handlers of the tribe which put him
ahead of Lou Gehrig and Joe Dl
Maggie in the race for honors.
The figures show that Travis is
hitting .375 as he goes to bat TO-
day, with Gehrig following at
1878 and Joe Di Maggie hitting
1868.
The leader of all hitters in the
majors is Joe Medwick, of the
Cardinals, with Paul big

Medwick is hitting .403 and Waner

Favored Pro
InP.G.A A. Test

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va,
July 31.-Wilfred witty" Cox,
veteran Kenwood Golf and Couu-
try Club professional, has been in
stalled as the favorite to cop the
Middle Atlantic P. G. A. champion
ship that begins here today over
the new Chamberlin Country CLUB
course.
The veteran tournament cam
paigner is quoted in the books at
5 to 2, probably the smallest price
ever offered betterS in tournament
golf. Local bookmakerS are not
any too anxious for bets on the
Washington entry and are going
around soliciting bets on the other
players in an effort to balance
their books.
Another Washingtonian who is
well respected in the betting is
Bob Barnett, Chevy Chase Club
pro. The notwithstanding red
head is listed at 9 to 2 and is con-
sidered the third favorite in the
betting, while posted at z to 2 is
AL Houghton, former Washington
professional, now with the Host
Club.
BetschIer Drops
Because of the experience on the
ill fated Chesapeake Bay boat,
Charlie Betschler, defending cham
pion of Hillendale Club, and VIII
liam Schrieber, of Mt. Pleasant,
saw their odds almost doubled.
BetSchler opened at S to / and
moved up to Z, while his fellow
townsman, Schrieber, jumped from

was slightly injured and will be
unable to make the trip down to
this picturesque course. Other
Washington players prices are:
George Diffenbaugh, 60 and
even; Roland Mackenzie, 5 to {?
and 6 to S; and Leo Walper and
AL Treder, 10 to 5 and S to 2.
The tournament is over a r.
hole route and because of the
Washington players inexperience
with Bermuda grass green's a score
of 285 has been predicted as the
total that should bring victory to
it's scorer. Erie Ball, the blond
English youngster, brought to this
country by George Sargent at
East Lake, where Bobby Jones got
his start, is another who is rated
as a favored player.
Complain Of Greens
The stocky EngliShman is
quoted at 9 to 2, 13 to and Z to
10, but when the news of his bril-
liant SO scored in the pro-amateur
begins to spread it is almost GER
tain his price will drop to that Of
Cox's. All of the Washington
boys complained about the greens
and nearly every one Of them are
going into the tournament today
with putting filters. Cox bought
himself a new putter and George
Diffenbaugh has changed his put
ter for the third time. Leo Wal
per, the Bethesda driving range
pro, is the only one of the D. c..
contingent who seems to be able
to figure out the tricky putting
surfaces.

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

A couple of veteran observers
were talking about baseball in gen.
eral the other day when one of the
boys developed an interesting
theory. It had to do with catcherS.
One of the old timers said:
"Study the young catcher
breaking into the majors. He'll
be alive behind the plate, reach
ing out for the ball and fight
ing the hitter. For the most
part he will take any chance to
impress the manager, and you
can't knock him down. There's
no flinching from fouls or any.
thing else.
"The old catcher presents a
different picture, and if you
really study the game you can
tell when a receiver is beginning
to slip. They finch away from
fouls, probably the result of be-
ing hammered over period of
years, and they sometimes finch
away from good pitches too.
This flinching some t m e S
makes a receiver drop balls, and,
of course, affects his work in
general.
with the other players, the
legs give out first, but with
catcherS 1 believe that the first
sign is when they start pulling
away"
The game opened in fine style
DeShong blazed a fast ball and
Larry went down swinging. White
hill performed the same service
for Armada, except that Melc
looked at a very battling curve

cripple.
Many other exciting experiences
were related by Mr.. Gomez of the
time when he lived in the densely
wooded section of Dade county,

memory was the period he was
held captive until his rescue by
the chief. 6aVsgo "a bga
