pitching duty for the Yankees.
Prof. Monte Weaver, who, like
Cassius, hath a lean and hungry
look, will pitch for the Griffs.
Cecil Travis made a beautiful
catch of Myril Hoag's line drive in
the second inning. If that ball
had gone through, the Yankees
would have scored at least three
runs in the second inning. AS it
was, just one counter was posted
on the score board.
Myril Hoag made two nifty
catches in the early innings. He
took a liner by Lewis in the sec
ond frame, and another by Chap
man in the third.
Gomez turned on the heat pitch
ing to AL Simmons in the fourth.
His fast ball was "alive" to talk
the patois of the club house. Sim
mons fouled several and then
flied to Hoag in short center field.
Max Kase discussed the triple
play made by the Yankees the
other day. Lazzeri started the play
and then shouted directions to
Crosetti and Gehrig. The big
Dago" never fumbles mentally.
Tony gave the fans a thrill in
hitting in the fifth frame. CaSca-
rella pitched inside to him, but
Lazzeri shuffled back step, and
blazed a single into right center,
scoring Chief johnson.
Ossie Bluege got a big hand
when he batted in place of Joe
CaScarella. The "Old Master" flied
deep to Roy johnson.
Joe Cascarella allowed five runs
and five hits; gave five bases on
balls and hit a batsman in five
innings. Well, whadda va want
on a dark day? Lightnin'?
Shanty Hogan was allowed to
rest for a day and little Walt Mil
lies stepped in behind the plate.
Not only did Miles perform well,
but he got a hit off Gomez, some
thing of feat, as witnesses will
attest.
Sgd Cohen did a workmanlike
job relieving Cascarella. He passed
Crosetti in the sixth frame, and
the laSt-named forthwith stole
second. He made his objective
standing up.
Buddy Myer tried to drag a
bunt past Gomez, but the gallant
Castillian fielded the ball with
his bare hand.
Two mental lapSes marked the
last half OF the sixth. Crosetti
trapped a fly by Simmons and
tossed to Lazzeri, forcing Kuhel.
Simmons, disguised with his fail
ure to hit Gomez, ran to the Griff
bench, and Lazzeri, believe it or
not, failed to throw to Gehrig.
Thus one out was registered where
a double play should have been
made.

BARNES SPEAKS
Bruce Barnes, after explaining
how he happened to have his
finger mashed, said of the Grand
National:
cit is certain to be a great
event, especially for those play
erS who ordinarily Shun the
faster tournaments and who
lack funds and move about from
one tourney to another gaining
valuable experience.
"YOu know, yOungster, boy
or girl, who lives in Bethesda,
Md, or Alexandria, Va, might
find it difficult to go to Hot
Springs, or White Sulphur, or
Pinehurst, to play in tOurna-
mentS at those tennis centerS.
However, with such an event as
the Times-Hearst Grand Ma
tiOnal, in the front yard, SO to
speak, there is presented these
youngsters a grand opportunity
to play in just the sort of an
event required to give the ambi-
tiOuS and promising players just
the sort of experience they need.
tennis is a grand game, and
the name Of this tournament

apt"

ord count of 1,780, shot to the
front in Glass C last night in the
Washington City Duckpin Asso-
citation tournament in progress at
the Lucky Strike and in so doing
added impetus to their rolling in
the annual spring affair.
Composed of three of the city'S
star girl rollers, Blanche Wootton,
Evelyn Ellis and Lucy Rose, the
first women to ever roll in the
mems tournament, and its two
male members, Johnny Roper and
Gait Davis, the mixed team was
easily the Standout of the nights
rolling. Davis led the charge with
a 408 set while the feminine stars,
members of the famous RoSslyn
team, shot healthy scores, well
over 1926 sets.
j. B. Moytka, Prince Georges

gave him fourth place in Glass

Grand National. Further, it de-
that George Lott will
have charge Of the Seat t lie
(WaSh.) division of the big event.
Said Lott:
81 wonder If the public realizes
that Ellsworth Vines first made
the suggestion for the Grand
National. His advice, sought by
Hearst executives in New York,
Vines, acting for professional
tennis, advised just such a tour
ney as the executives finally de-
cided upon. No better tOurna-
ment could be staged. 1t is the
ideal tennis event, for the rea-
son that it brings to tennis CEN
tiers those young men and
women who require tournament
play if they are to advance in
the game.
ADVISES YOUNGSTERS
"COl. Jess Kreuger, Hearst
executive in New York, has done
a great job with the Grand Ma
tiOnaI. The event is certain to
be a huge success and it is GER
tain to help the u. S. L. T. A.
in its national campaign to inn
prove the general brand Of ten
mis- played. l note with great
pleasure that The Washington
Times is ahead of the field in
preparing for the tournament
here in WaShingtOn-a tOurna-
ment which should attract the
better younger players of the
surrounding States.
"Unhesitatingly / advise all
young players who are ambitious
to enter the Times tourney. The
experience gained from such an
event may prove of the utmost
importance in the future de-
veIOpment of their games"
Vines, a keen student Of national
and international tennis, after
commenting on the Davis Cup
situation, said:
"The Times Hearst Grand Ma
tiOnal fills a lOng-felt need. 1t
gives the ambitious young man
and young woman Of outlying
districts the opportunity to
come into the tennis centers,
meet leading players, learn tech
nique through observation, and
gain tournament experience.
"ThiS tournament is timely.
It comes at the right time Of the
year. The care spent in drawing
up plans for the Grand National
only accentuateS the value Of
the event as an aid in the U. s.
L. T. AS campaign for the de-
velopment of a higher standard
Of court play and sportsman
ship among players.
HELPS THE GAME
"The younger players, who by
all means should enter and COM
pete, will find that the better
players are most sporting and
are always willing to make sug-
geStiOnS to another player seek
ing to improve the other play
er'S game.
cit is my studied opinion that
the Grand National in its first
year will make a tremendous
hit with those players who are
ambitious yet who ordinarily
hesitate to enter the larger and
faster Journeys. This Grand
National is especially for that
type of player, man and woman,
and believe that a number of
future stars will be revealed
during the course Of this tour
ney's play"
