on your point of view.
That is to say, now and then
he gets a good game out of his

pitcher and for that reason fits
splendidly into the current
pattern.

On Saturday, Claude Rippey.
the well-known public links star,
and winner Of medal honors at
the Woodmont invitation play-off
last Sunday in his first try of the
season, will sound "finis" to q lot
Of unnecessary comment regard
ing his amateur status, when he
resigns his position with q local
sporting goods concern to take up
duties in q haberdashery shop.
Several years ago, Rippey was
Haunted as q near professional
by certain parties because Of the
fact that he was an assistant man
ager in the public link enterprises
of s. G. Loeffler, operator Of the
local municipal courses.
Null and Void
The undercover attack was
directed at the Shelby, N. c.,
youth because Of his sensational
playing in Journeys. Rippey'S
status as a pro was completely
null and void as he was in no way
connected with teaching the game
of golf or playing for stakes.
After q season with the Loeftler
interests he joined with the organ
ization from which he is now re-
signing. There was still some
comment regarding the selling OF
golf equipment. But fortunately.
this young man ignored the quib'
bings and continued his fine play.
with Rippey's latest change in
his livelihood, the finality Of such
unjust attacks has now been
reached, and the young man can
continue to shoot the fine brand
of golf that has made his name
a by.word in local golfdom.

The probabilities are that a
trade will be made with either
the Chicago White sox, whom the
GriffS meet tomorrow on Comiskey
Field, or the Detroit Tigers. There
is every reason to believe that at
least one of the long distance calls
that held Bucky Harris on the
telephone for some time came
from Chicago, and that some one
in authority on the White Sox was
discussing player values with the
Washington leader.
AS the Griffs lost another game
due to poor starting pitching, the
first name bruited about the camp
was that of Eden Auker, the right
handed submarine pitcher of the
Detroit Tigers. 1t is known that
Harris has been eager for some
time to acquire this young mans
contract. But the astute Mickey
Cochrane will not deal for Auker
without getting euiqvalent value.
This means that Detroit must in
Sist upon Buck Newsom, Jimmy
DeShong, or possibly an outside
chance, Eddie Linke.
Man for Man
It is out of all reason to think
that Harris would agree to those
trades on a man-for-man basis.
NewSom is one Of those ball play
ers who might have been the
original Jack Keefe. what with his
amusing boasting that no reVerseS
seem to still. Yet when he settles
down to pitch, and takes the pre-
caution to get eight hours sleep
before he pitches, big Buck can
fog that ball through with the
best of them. Witness his win
ming games against Detroit and
the Yankees.
DeShong, troubled by poor con-
troll, has pitched effectively in his
last two games. In relief game
against the Indians he hurled shut
out ball. He allowed st. Louis one
run in the opening game of the
current series. That counter by
the Brownies was the only one
scored off DeShong in II arm
testing innings.
Linke, by his great relief pitch
ing in two efforts that totalled
1923 innings, has allowed two
earned runs and eight hits. He
gave five bases on balls and struck
out five batsmen. Linke carries
double value, for he is one of
the deadlieSt. hitters on the Wash,
ington club. 1t was Linke who
broke Ronetti's sequence of hitleSs
; innings against the Griffs yester.
day with a single through the in.
field.
Welcome Kennedy
The White Sox need a pitcher
(who doesn't) and they could use
an outfielder. The GriffS might
be able to include Jess Hill in q
deal with the Sox, but the PROPOSE
