Three Omitted With Regret,
Including Griffs' Stick Ace.

There are three athletes whom 1t
erieves me very much to omit from
this blue ribbon roster, though nat
urally 1t does not make lot Of diff
ference in the lives of any Of them
and they all will forgive me-in fact,
thank me-for the favor Of non-in-
clusion.
It's hard to pass over the names of
Carl Hubbell, Ernie lombard and
Cecil Travis. Travis is the leading
percentage hitter of the American
League. timely man with his bat
and a spry operative generally. But
he doesn't hit them far, and he doesn't t
drive in runs I think most pitchers
would call Vaughan a more dangerous
opponent. Over and above which,
Arkie is faster on the bases and at
least the equal Of Travis as fielder.
Lombardis work in Cincinnati this
year cannot be overvalued. When the
time comes to reward one player in
the Nationsl League for the great
est contribution to his teams welfare
and standing, the Big Horn deserves
to win handily. He's been a constant
menace at bat, constant hustler and
the finest field agent Bill McKechnie
could have for the handling of those
young and jittery pitchers.
But you can't rate him above Bill
Dickey. 1 don't think you can do
that for any catcher in the business
As for Hubbell, the stanchest item
In ali the catalogue OF stars for the
last decade, his ailing arm disquali-
nes him for 1888. Nothing but injury
could do 1t.
There are two or three Others who
are close enough to be the shadows
Of the men I've picked Mike Kree-
vich would belong in anybodys CEN
ter field If 1t weren't for this fellow
Di Maggie. Harlond Cliff, with his
lethal bat and fine fielding, is just a
short head back Of Rolfe at third
base.
But yon can't name them all.
Squire Dudley wants only 10 players.
And I guess he wants considerably less
palaver about it, too.

MCCOY NOW HERO
TO MAT ADD|CTS
Wins Favor Here in Upset
OF OIson-Second Match
Saves Ruby's Title

Bibber Mccoy, who had educated
local mat followers to hate every
twitch Of his ponderous frame, today
was cast in the unfamiliar role Of hero
as the result Of his victory over Cliff
Olson, a villain OF some standing
last night at Grifflth Stadium.
Olson lost. but, by the same token
retains the dubious distinction OF
being the most thoroughly disliked
member of the caulinower industry Ia
perform here this year. Thor John
son also improved his standing as q
villain by seconding Olson, who was
squashed in 81 minutes.

After suffering such indignities a

nuts and being strangled with towels
the ideas of the 265-pound johnson
Mccoy slipped from one of Olson,
illegal holds, applied a body press and
received the benefit of a quick count
by Referee Benny Bortnick.
Mccoy spiced the proceedings by
twice scurrying from the ring to maui
Johnson, who probably will earn a
match with the Bibber as the result Of
his earnest toll
Dolly Dalton Apologies.
Dolly Dalton pinned Ruby Allen,
women's welterweight champion, in 9
minutes, but that was contrary to the
script. The girls fixed that, however,
when Miss Allen challenged Dolly to 4
second fall. Dolly's discretion got the
best Of her and Rubby fiattened her in
3 minutes. Dolly lost her title claim, in
case anybody Is concerned.
Red Ryan won the battle royal,
pinning Ed Newman 8 minutes after
the minor riot started. Joe Dusek and
Bobby Managon labored 80 minutes to
draw, while Al Baksch trimmed Babe
Bruckman in 12a minutes.

YOUNG D. c. RULER
|SF|NE PROSPECT
She's Deadly With Putter.
Helen Dettwei|er, Too,
Has Big-time Game.
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

0y WhLkkn mCChLLOms
Marion Brown, the blond young Dis
trict women's champion. who put on
4 subpar finish to lick Helen Dett-
weller in the final Of the title tourney
at Indian Spring last June, Is going
to make her second try for the wom-
ems national championship this year.
Marion will join Mrs. Betty P. Neck
ley, Helen Dettweiler and Mrs. Myron
Davy, the Washington contestants in
the national tournament at the West
moreland Country Club Of Wilmette,
ILL.,, starting September 10. and she
might do fairly we'll.
Hardly in the class Of such crack
feminine golfers as Patty Berg. Kath-
ryn Hemphill or Marion Miley, the
Brown girl at 10 years Of age has
bright links future. She can putt,
and good putting covers lot Of mis-
takes through the fairway.
Has Putting Streak.
You don't have to 60 any further
back than that ANAL round against
Helen Dettweiler last June to realize
that Marion Is . sharp-shooter with
the putter. She used only one putt
on each Of the last three greens Of
that match, holing an eagle At the
18th, par 3 at the 18th and bird
4 at the 18th. all through lengthy puts
that ratified into the bottom Of the tin.
Currently Marion and Helen Dett-
weller are the two brightest stars in
the feminine lineup around the Capt.
tai. They aren't yet potential national
championship winners but 1t wouldn't
take much improvement in the game
Of either Of these girls to elevate them
to the class Of the Bergs. the Mileys
and the Hemphills.
BY that mean that where they
now score consistently in the low 80s,
with an occasional drop into the high
7os. they may improve their golf 80
that they'll average 78 or 50, with an
occasional dip down around and per-
haps below rs. That's what it takes
In womens golf now to be a top
notcher. The day when scores in the
lower 80s were winning matches has
gone, probably forever.
Have Definite Possibilities.
Marion has played Indian Spring
in rs. She has scored around the
same mark at Manor. But these scores
are rarities. Helen has played Beaver
Dam in -. Congressional in IS and
Elkridge in Baltimore in II, the first
and last OF these scores in medal
rounds IN tournaments.
So both these girls have definite
possibilities as players Of the first rank
and possible Curtis Cup team men,
bers Mrs. Betty P. Meckiey. the third
top feminine star of the town, also
has been down In the middle 70s oc-
casionally. But Betty hasn't been
turning in those lower scores this year
as she did last year and In 1895.

tOQay, mack the lQentlncatlOn marks
OIL, stick 'em on . driving machine
and you won't find enough difference
In driving power to make any differ
ence to you. Basically they are about
the same in distance. Some do have
little more kick from the war clubs Of
the power hitter who can really crack
q ball, but for the average run-of-the-
mine golfer, any 75-cent ball Is a good
ball. And the tougher the cover the
better for him. He won't cut 1t so
much or so quickly.
All OF which leads up to the point
that the Acushnet driving machine is
coming to town next month. For sheer
breath-taking walloping of q golf ball
this mechanical arm, spouting golf
balls 900 yards without any Interrupt
ton In its steady travel, Is Just about
the finest salesman ever put on the
market by any enterprising golf ball
company.
Golfers stand around that ma.
chine and cape as it monoto-
nously clicks out 5o0-yard ear
ries, mechanically pitches golf
balls into . spot you could cover
with your pocket handkerchief
and makes a hard game look SO
easy that you want to rear up
and toss your clubs into the
nearest pond.
The mechanical arm whirles so fast
you can't see it. Every once in a
while golf ball drops onto a metal
tee and the arm comes around, whacks
that ball and it mounts up in high
flying curve, drifting almost out Of
sight to come down as much as 600
yards away.
All Golf Balls Good,
But the main point is that while the
Acushnet ball, mechanically and tech
nically, is as good a golf ball as can pe
made, it is about of standard length
as compared with the others. Its the
machine that does the trick in the
most interesting mechanical exhibit
travelling in behalf of golf throughout
urban and rural America today. The
machine will make four appearances In
Washington. 1t is scheduled to show
on September 10 at Argle at pm. and
at Kenwood at $50 pm The follow
ing day-September lit will appear
at Army-Navy at 2 pm, and at Rock
Creek Park at $50 pm.
And if they want any trees cut down
at 400 yards up there at Rock Creek
Park they'd better mark EN- now. The
