Noes OF GRIFFS AGAINST TIGERS

George Gill and Jack Russell off
the mound.
Boots Poffenberger rushed into
action, and the Griffs found him
harder to hit than to pronounce.
Hits were few and far between
once Bootsie went into the game.
He was the winning pitcher.
Lewis and Kuhel got two hits
in that nerve-tingling inning. Rick
Terrell got a single and Yves Fer
ren got double. Incidental walks
added to the merriment, but Cecil
Travis had the misfortune to crack
into a double play.
Less Than Two
Jimmy DeShong started for the
Griffs and lasted just a bit less
than two innings. He allowed half
a dozen hits, and then came Eddie
Linke. Eddie is as battling as the
missing link. One time he goes OUT
and is knocked out. He was almost
invincible yesterday. Sid Cohen
pitched beautiful ball until ne
gave way to Carl Fischer, and in
removing Cohen, Harris was 100
per cent correct Strategically. He

Mrs.B. Hill Meets

The Sweet Sixteen who started
in the title flight for the coveted
District of Columbia women'S golf
championship now being staged
at Chevy Chase Club has been
cut to eight for today's play.
Favorites advanced through the
first round yesterday with little or
no trouble, but the fur is expected
to fly today in nearly every clash
in the group of four matches.
Pairings for this morning bring
together the medalist of the meet,
Mrs. Bishop Hill, of Chevy Chase
Club and Helen Dettweiler, the
Congressional miss, who looms as
the probable winner Of the event;
Mrs. Betty Meckley, Of Indian
Spring, the defending champion
who meets Mrs. Walter r. Stokes,
of Indian Spring; Ellen Kincaid,
of Congressional, who battles Mrs.
L. G Pray, of Manor, and Marian
Brown, the George Washington

In the second inning, Stone

Myer singled and Rick Terrell
obliged with a simple grounder

to Rogell to Greenberg and that

Travis hit into his second
double play of the game. The lad
was positively uncanny in this
speciality. Indeed, it was just a
good break in the luck that Travis
didn't hit into triple play, which
would have been his third of the

Beyond the mere circumstance
of a tumble in the fifteenth inning
by Buddy Myer, a tumble that
plunged the 'Griffs into defeat
after thrilling ninth-inning rally
had scored seven runs and tied the
score, the beating of the Griffs
may be traced to the mass execu-
lions conducted by the Tigers. Let
the men in white get a man on
base, and the Tigers retired not
one. runner, but two. They closed
the game with a double play, the
fifth of an eventful afternoon.
Just one hit in the first three
innings might have turned that
game around, in view of every
thing that happened in the ninth
inning. And boys and girls. just
about everything happened in that
ninth.
But lets consider the double
plays first. In the first. inning
Lewis was safe on an error. Kuhel
then went out on strikes and o

Carl Fischer. a starting pitcher,
and lost.
The Griffs knocked out Tommy
Bridges, which is something of an
achievement, and they made
fine job of it while at work. 1t is
something to stop a curve ball
artist like Bridges.
Washington fans had a chance
to greet the ex-Boston boys, and
they found plenty over which to
enthuSe. Rick Ferrell's work was
smooth, and Yves Terrell doubled
in the pinch. Armada as always,
was good in the field.
Buddy Myer made a grand leap,
ing catch of a line drive by
Walker in the fifth inning and
cut down a double in its incipI-
ency.
Rick, Terrell got a big hand
from the crowd when he came to
bat in the third inning. He was
the eighth hitter, and he ralnmed
into a double play. Just the third
double play in three innings.

Psychology Important
But If that is your attitude, you
are quite mistaken, if ! may be
so bold as to point out. Psychol-
ogy is a great power, q great in
fluence in winning in any sport
you name. First blood is much
to be desired in any phase Of
sport.
Ball players lay great store by
it,. Manager Joe Mccarthy, Of
the Yanks, imploreS his team to
win the first game Of any series,
Just to get the opposition on the
defensive. Many managers in
struct their batters to try to
knock the first ball pitched out
of the park, purely for the pSy-

pitcher know he can be hit.

they hammered Tommy Bridges,

the differenct views, locations, history
and development.
Town Also Taken
The party circled Deep Greek Lake
before returning to town.
The machines were often halted en-
route as the camera fans aiighted to
snap this or that view, many using
filters to cut through the haze and
rain.
Newspapers, raincoats and umbrel-
las were used to cover their cameras.
Cloud effects over the moutains
proved particularly attractive.
Back in Oakland, some of the Bal
timore contingent, wet but undaunted,
proceeded to make snaps of the town
before departing.
Promise To Return
They expressed their wholehearted
appreciation for the unexpected hos
pitality of the Mayor, the Rotary Club
and the local business men and as
sured them they would carry back
to Baltimore the pleasant memories of
Oakland to which the Mayor referred
in his welcoming address.
Some promised to return in the win
| ter for snow scenes.
The party left Oakland at $50 p. M,
anxious to get back to dark rooms
for processing films and turning out
prints. G. C. D.

AS the train pulled into the station
brass band composed of musicians
from Mountain Lake Park and Loeb
Lynn broke into a welcoming air. The
musicians stood under the protection
of a porch at the station as the rain
beat down and as the Mayor, with hat
and coat drenched, took place in the
center of the station plaza for speech
of welcome.
Cars Are Furnished

bers of the Rotary Club passed among
the visitors extending greetings and
then ushering them to ninety automo-
biles loaned for the day by their Oak
land owners.
In these cars the photographers
started for fifty-mile ride through
the mountains. The Mayor determined
that the cavalcade should be organized
properly, himself took over the direc-
ton of traffic out of town. Later ap-
! peared in a remote section of the
mountains to give other directions lest
the party become lost.
State Forest Visited
The first stop was at Swallow Falls
in a State forest-an area of great
beauty, little known to foreigners, YET
a place on which Western Maryland
hopes more attention will be focused
in the future.
Residents of this section, who de-
light in referring to Garrett county, OF
which Oakland is the county seat, as
"The Switzerland of Maryland" are
preparing to attract to this section

GENERAL SPIRIT OF TRIP
PORTRAYED BY VISITOR
Suns Special Writer Says Rain
Failed To Dampen ArdOr

The rain on Sunday failed to dam
pen the ardor of Baltimore and Wash
ington camera fans who came to Oak
land. A special correspondent for the
Baltimore Sun, George Dorsch, who
made the trip, portrays the general
spirit of the excursionists from a visi-
tors standpoint.
The following article, prepared by
Mr.. Dorsch, appeared in the Monday
morning edition of The Sun:
This thriving town (Oakland) at
the top of the Allegheny Mountains
today Sunday welcomed 200 Balti-
more camera fans and 100 of their
friends, who, before the day was
through, were left gasping at the au-
tumnal beauty of this section of West
ern Maryland, despite the continuous
rain.
1t was the first pilgrimage of anna
teur photographers of Baltimore into
this section. Armed with cameras, all
kinds, from small miniatures to large
8 by 10-inch view cameras, they left
Baltimore on a special train of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at 7:35 a
M, with dark skies threatening tc
mar their holiday.
Undaunted By Rain
But unlike other holiday makers
who would have been chagrined OF
turned back by the weather, These
seekers after pictures found a par.
ticular delight in trying to ascertain
whether their lenses would function
well under such climatic conditions.
The camera fans little expected the
welcome that was in store for them
on arriving here. Mayor Lawrence M
