In Extra Inning Tilt

The Washington Times and

yesterday morning in one Of the
best played softball games seen
on the sandlots this season, the
Heraldeers winning in the ninth
by a 6-to4 score.
The Times got to Davis In the

men on. Again in the sixth,
Goucher caught hold Of Abrams
fast one for a home run putting
the Times ahead, only to be tied
up in the seventh.
Bill Brown pitched for the

backstop, starred at bat for the

GRIST OF THE GRIFFS
By FRANK BUCK" ONEhL :

By FRANK BUCK" ONEILL
A fortnight before Memorial
Day, the first milestone Of the
pennant races finds the American
League well punched. The Griffs,
who stagger one day and scintil-
late the next, are AZ games out
of the lead, which at this time
means little. A squirt by the locals
with all elements coordinating
will shoot them toward the top.
It is far too early to quit on the
team despite its unpredictable
form.
The Yankees hurled back the
challenging Athletics over the
weekend, triumphing yesterday
before the greatest crowd to wit
ness q game in Shibe Park. A
crowd Of 3S,72S persons paid their
way into the grounds to cheer
the Mackmen, whose amazing
comeback has fired the imagina-
ton Of the sports-loving public.
Charley Ruffing made his sea-
sons debut for the Yankees, and
although he did not finish the
game, he pitched effectively and,
at times, brilliantly.
Cleveland, Boston and Detroit
are rating off the pace, to bor-
row from the patois Of the turf,
and Chicago is just a couple Of
mods back.
It's bit different in the Ma
tional League, with the Bees and
Reds eight games back. The
Pirates apparently mean business,
and are steaming along 31a games
ahead Of the Cardinals.
The races have a long, long way
to go, but the early form shown
by the Athletics and Pirates has
stimulated interest in all centers.
It is always a pretty play when
a runner is thrown out at third
base trying to advance from Sec
ond on grounder to short. The
Red Sox pulled this play on the
Griffs in the sixth canto yester.
day.
Add things I didn't know until
I saw them done: Monte Weaver
can stretch his left arm q good
four inches beyond its normal
length. Seams that when Monte
was searching for his lost health
he went in for this stretching busi-
ness and became q master in the
art.

just bet me that I can count on
my ten fingers the horses that won
five races in a row. Have I got a
chance to win?"
Haw! An old-timer like Neil New
man could name Charley'S friend
so many horses that won ten races
in row that the legs of a cent?
pede would be needed to count 'em.
l can recall at least twenty crack
stakes horses that won ten or more
straight, and a short dig into the
records would produce a hundred
horses Of handicap and claiming
quality that turned the trick.
Which reminds that Kincsem,
famous Hungarian mare of so
years ago, won 81 straight races
in five countrieS!-and never was
beaten. And I believe the Porto
Rican turf claims 131 straight
wins for Galgo Jr.
And that thought brings up
memories Of Colonel Phil Chinn

in a roar as Ray Forsha eXpounded
on the triumphS Of a Texas horse
that won 144 races through the
Southwest. Ray even sighed that

SCHOOLBOY TRACK BASEBALL TEAMS FACE /
! Ti|ts Today
On Program
As Starter
BY GARRETT WATERS

The schoolboys face another ac-
tive tete-a-tete with sports this
week, beginning with two baseball
games today.
These tits list Woodrow Wilson
against Eastern at the Eastern
Stadium at $3.50 p m, and Tech
against Central at the Central
Stadium at the same hour. Both
are contests postponed from last
Friday on account of the rain.
The remainder of the schedule
comprises several features. The
most important. of course. is the
annual interhigh track and field
meet at the Central Stadium,
which this year will be held on
Thursday and Friday.
The presence of the woodrow
Wilson team makes this necessary.
The Presidents make the sixth
school to have entries. Hence. Of
ficials have deemed it best to run
off the usual heats on Thursday
instead of doing everything" on
Friday.
Two Other Games
Two other serieo baseball games
round out the slate. One is sched-
uled tomorrow when Roosevelt en-
tertains the Central nine at the
Roosevelt Stadium at $3.50 p. m.
The other is Thursday between
Tech and Western at Western,
$50.
The boys are still talking about
the Central &C" Club track meet
which found Episcopal High. OF
Alexandria, walking off with hon.
ors for the second time in as many
years.
Too, the several records broken
are still being remembered. Two
were actually broken, but one was
recognized.
The first came in the shotput,
when Ed Hohnfeld, of Bulls
Prep, tossed the ball 81 feet 9
inches. This mark was formerly
held by Bill Guckeyson, Of Beth
esda-Chevy Chase, who turned IN
q 50-foot-1-inch toss in 1888.
Not Recognized
Tom Todd, Of Episcopal, broke
the other record. It was in the
100 high hurdles. It was not recog-
nized because Tom knocked over
three timbers while winning the
race.
His time, however, was 1874, and
bettered the former mark estab-
lished by Bill Sly, of Eastern High,
in 1882, of 1876.
Promising work was shown in
the meet by the Central, Eastern,
Tech and Roosevelt teams. All
finished rather fa. down the list
in the team roint scoring. But
their work gave indication Of what
q battle for honors will ensue in
the Interhigh meet later on this
week.
Title in Balance
Now a bit about today's base
ball games. Eastern can make
real headway toward the cham
pionship by defeating Woodrow
Wilson. The same mu; be fig
ured should the Wilson's score a
triumph. The entire aspect of
the game hinges on the eligibility
Of star players of both teams -
and it may not be known until
game-time whether these boys are
free to play. Kilmer Bortz, star
pitcher at Wilson, is one of those
involved. Rip Carver, equally as
good hurler, is another.
The Central-Tech game has
every indication of beings a walk
away for Tech. The latter easily
possesses the stronger team, al
though Central will give all sorts |
Of battle if it is able to get any
pitching-the thing it has lacked |
since the start of the campaign.

profession could outspeed him at
jotting down bets and totalins
them, even with such lightning
money-takers as Julian White
Tom Shaw and Sterling Eberhardt
calling off the wagers to him.
Which recalls the time at ST.
Louis Fair Grounds when Barney
Schneider took a hand at calling
his own betS-displaced his reg
ular money-taker. Joe Doughty
was even-money favorite in the
race, Barney didn't like him,
hunched the odds to 6 to sand
told the customers to come on
with their bets.
Joe Doughty finished third, and
Schneider cried with joy-he'd
cleaned up!
Cleaned up heIl!" screamed
Barney's sheet-writer. "'Th0se
bets on Joe Daughty ruined
yOu!"
The riot around the book drew
customers and PinkertonS. And
when calm was restored, Schneider
had been made to understand
that his German accent caused
all the trouble.
Every time he called out,
"ShOw Doughty, sixty to fifty"
or "tWelve to ten," the bets went
into the SHOW" cOlumn-and
the tickets read the same way.
Learn to talk EngliSh!"
growled the clerks, throwing up
their jobs. But genial Barney
made them go back to work
and stopped taking his own
money!
