Beauty Treatment. It's like this:
Lie across the bed with your hips
and feet elevated and with no pill
low under your head, but allow
your head to fall backward lower
than your body. This will send
new life with lots of red blood
into your face and neck and make
them surprisingly youthful and
lovely.
This should not be done for too

This seems right strange, in
view Of the fact that Teller held
the Tigers to a brace of hits, and
pitched well against the Yankees,
despite the home run smash by
Giuseppe DiMaggio, which won
the game for the fence wrecking
New Workers. Teller has pitched
other games that bore the stamp
of merit.
Among those who have read the
strange and somewhat daffy his
tory of baseball, there is a DISPOSE
ton to reserve judgment on Teller,
and to let that branding iron cool
off. There may be a demand for
that crown brand one of these
days; the brand that's worn by
kings of the diamond.
Let's look over just a few Of the
boys who are hall of fame eligibleS.

to even look at big" Ed Walsh, OF
the Chicago White Sox?
Oh yes, it did happen! George
Stallings, the miracle man" Of
the Boston Braves recommended
Walsh to Charles Somers, who
owned the Boston Red Sox at the
time. Somers refused to become
interested in the big pitcher, and
SO StallingS told the vetera n

who could throw seball
through a spruce plank.

The pair combined to score a

his mates were nicking Gumbert
and Coffman for eight.
Philadelphia blew a lead three
times to finally bow to the Pirates,
6 to 5.
Familiar Theme
The American League race con-
tinued along the familiar Yankee
theme, as the champions COM
pleted a clean sweep Of the Cleve-
land series, 8 to 5, with Tom
Heinrich and Lefty Gomez making
the victory possible. Gomez scored
his thirteenth victory on the
mound, with Heinrich betting out

drive in four runs and. remain

Yankee, and the Detroit Tigers

flying leaders by downing the

land Alexander was a great pitcher.
You recall that he struck out Tony
Lazzeri in the final game Of the
1926 World Series and won for the
st. Louis Cardinals. Well, when
Alexander reported to the Phillies,
Charley Doom turned him back,
saying that there was no room in
baseball for a man or boy as lazy
as Grover Cleveland Alexander.
The smooth, incident style Of
Alexander fooled the experienced
eyes Of Doom.
Marquard Smart
Rube Marquard was a right
smart pitcher in his day. The
Giants paid $1,000 for him in a
day when that was a lot of money.
He was called the $1,000
Beauty" and then he couldn't get
the ball over the plate. When he
couldn't win the critics called him
lemon, and a ounce and laughed
at McGraw. But Rube came along
and he holds the record for con.
secutive games won in a season.
He grabbed off 10 in a row in
one year.
Oh. this could go on and on.

Harris Agrees
CIouters Would
Help Griffs

HICAGO, Ill, July 20.
Silently, or maybe its glazing, one
after one, on the losing side Of
the column, are recorded the
GriffS' defeats, as they trek about
through the country. The losing
streak that now has reached nine
straight, finds the team with short
tempers. That in itself is a good
sign, for when temperS shorten,
the boys may arouse themselves
to fighting pitch and go after
these enemies.
The prospects today are not too
bright. Thorton Lee, the left
handler, is to hurl for the White
Sox, and he is ever a troublesome
sort for any club. Yves Terrell will
work for Washington, and will be
under strict orders to forget that
nothing ball" and depend more
on his fast one and swift curve. In
Ferrel's last two starts he was
pathetic. Maybe he will improve
today.
Needs Distance HitterS
Stanley Harris, manager of the
GriffS agrees with the current ap-
praiSals of his club, saying that
the chief need of the team is long
distance hitters. Simmons hit
home runs in consecutive days in
Detroit, giving a ray of hope. The
fact that AL has been placed in
the clean up slot will add fire to
his play. Cocky sort of a chap,
this Simmons, and always at his
best when the pressure is on.
OF course, Simmons failed in
the pinch yesterday, but by and
large the statement will stand
that the puissant Pole is at his
best in the pinches.
SOx Ambitious
The Griffs encounter the SoX
today at time when Dykes and
his boys are filled with ambition.
Beating the Red Sox yesterday,
Chicago held second place and
Boston slipped back another game.
1t looks like a battle now be-
tween Detroit and Chicago.
The Sox are thriving on the
power OF Zeke Bonura'S bat. There
Is a story around here that not
SO long ago Chicago would have
traded the burly italian for Joe
Kuhel. The trade was turned
down because Zeke is something of
a Percheron on his feet. But he
carries a mighty bat to that plate
in the pinches.
Harris says that there is no
immediate prospect of major or
minor league relief for the Griffs
at this time.

nights worlds championship
match at Griffith Stadium be-
tween Bronko Nagurski, the title

The tite match will be one fall

to help the District Softhall Asso-
citation fund. In the semiwindup
Hank Barber, the former Dart

The Washington times., 1937-07-20

The match, a seniflnal Of the
current Department Of Play
grounds girls singles champion
ship tournament, involves Hazel
Jimmy" Bishopp, of Takoma, and
Mary Gray, of Twin Oaks.
A Semif1nalist in last years
tournament, Miss Bishopp is re.
garded as one of the outstanding
younger players in Washington.
Even so, there are those who insist
Miss Gray will win today's match.
All through the playground Sys-
tenn of Washington word has gone
out to watch Mary Gray!" May
be Mary will not live up to all
the nice things said about her;
then again, maybe she will.
Looked Like Champ
In this tournament to date,
Mary certainly has looked the
part Of a champion. She has won
like a champion-haS shown keen
ability and a stout heart. She's
capable of winning the champion
ship, but from the sidelines it
would seem that Mary is about a
year short of the title.
On the other hand, Jimmy

fault. Most aSsuredly, Jimmy
cannot afford to underestimate

The latter won four in a row
through that stretch from the
Dodgers. Meanwhile, the Pitts
burgh Pirates were playing to an
even break in four with the Phila-
delphia Phils and with that they
moved up 612 games off the pace.
Race Wide Open
So the race still is about as wide
open as ever, although the Cubs
are looking tougher and tougher.
They concluded their stay in
Brooklyn yesterday with a 9-to-O
six-hit victory pitched by Tex
Carlton.
The Cards finally caught up
with the Giants by 3 to 2 in a
sparkling mound duel dominated
by Silas johnson, who gave the
Giants only q half-dozen hits while

Almost apologetically, he re-

practically pitied when he
walked into the ring with Jack

good health and high courage,
along with a certain amount OF
ability.
His were words of wisdom
worth bordering, we thought, on
the threshold of the Williams

Washington about as fight
minded as it has been in the
three short years Of legalized
boxing here.
We commenced to think again,
as we have often thought before
and just as often too late, that
it is the upsets that make the
boxing business what it is. If it
weren't for the upSets in boxing
or baseball or horse racing or
any sport you wish to name,
notably football, you and I could
figure out all the results with
pencil and paper-and then go
fishing.
Don't Sell Hobo Short
so Harry Groves, a depend
able, crafty pugilistic pilot and
a wizard in any mans corner,
just called up to warn the public
not to sell his man short to-
night against Champion Freddy
Steele.
