lawyer" screamed Simmons. you're
sore because I beat you out of bonus
money"
You didn't play fair" answered
Griff. You quit because you didn' t
have the courage to finish the season "
You're the one who didn't play
fair" bounced back Simmons. You
kept me out of the lineup for month
early in the season because you were
afraid I'd bat across ITO runs and win
a $500 bonus"
Stop" shouted Lands, waving his
arms. I'll take care of the matter
when get further testimony"
Grin Wins q Point.
Late last night Grifnth and Sim
mons conferred long and loudly. At
the conclusion Simmons conceded q
point to Grifnth and wrote a public
apology to the fans of Washington.
Il have two fellows on my side,
think" said Simmons, land they are
Umpires John Quinn and Bill Nc
Gowan. When I mentioned them to
Lands Grifflth butted in and said
Who are those fellows? They don't
count That's fine thing to say,
isn't it?"
Simmons added that he honestly
held no grudge against Washington
fans. "Apologizing was the smart
thing" he conceded. Lands could
sock me some more and maybe my
apology will help"
Griffith and Simmons, for all of
their confab, still were at daggers'
points. Hes q no account ball play
er," said the veteran owner of the
Mats. He hasn't told the truth all
season. He's been saying that he'll
collect . 81 500 bonus If he bats across
100 runs. Now he says he would have
collected If he had batted across ITO
runs.
He still hasn't told the TRUTH" he
continued THE contract calls for q
81 500 bonus if Simmons hits 1925 and
bats across 110 runs. There is another
clause which says that Simmons gets
$500 if he hits 300"
After writing his apology. Simmons
resumed his attack on Griffith.
II asked him to give that 5000 to
the clubhouse boys in Washington, "
said Al, "but Grif said, Nothing do
ing You know where that dough Is
going, don't you?" The outfielder pat
ted his side pocket by way of explana-
tion, and added:
Hes going to keep 1t himself and
save on my bonus. hope I get my
release"
Grifnth said that Simmons tried to
get his release several times during
the season.
Claims Release Offered Twice.
IT offered it to him twice." revealed
the old gent. II offered it to him for
$500. That's what I paid for him
and If he thinks he can sell his serv-
ices for so much why didn't he buy his
contract and 60 elsewhere?"
Simmons, in answer. said that
"Grifith offered my release If I paid
something like $4,000 for it,"
Griffith confessed that he had tried
to trade Simmons for Outfielder Julius
Solters of Cleveland during the sum-
mer. It was to have been q waiver
deal but the Detroit Tigers refused to
waive on Simmons and it fell through.
Today Grifith and Solters, who Is
present for the series, were found talk
ing and there is q chance the deal
may be on again.
At any rate. AL Simmons, probably
the greatest right-handed hitter Of all
time, y washed " u Warrington.

losers end is far more than they ever
dreamed about three weeks ago.
Cubs Must Get Jump.
How long can you keep hot, away
from the tropics? The Cubs have been
steaming hot for more than three
weeks. They have been exuding smoke
and flame from every pore. They may
have a week of this hot spell left-or
they may be burned out. This is some-
thing that no one can foretell, includ-
ing the Delphic Oracle.
Here is another angle. The Cubs
always are at their best near the
fragrant odor of home cooking which
means the home park. So are the
Yankees inside their own stadium.
The Cubs must get away briskly in
their own park, or they may be
smothered. They can't expect to pick
up much slack in the Yankee park.
The Yankees can afford a hating
start and still come back. The Cubs
can't--if the law of percentage means
anything at all.
Yanks Should-But-
As some eminent sporting philos-
opher has said before, The race is not
to the swift nor the battle to the
strong-but that is where to look"
The Yankees are the swift and the
strong in this engagement, but I still
don't think their margin is as wide
as many seem to think
They have been playing bad base
ball for more than three weeks while
the Cubs have been going at top speed
These are details that can be highly
important-or suddenly change. That
is why sport is still sport and why Ger
tainties are so scarce.
Who will be the star of the series?
The star Of any world series usually or
often pops out from the unexpected
entry.
If had to make one guess it would
be Bill Dickey. And another guess
would be Gabby Hartnett If his hands
were in shape. You have here two of
the greatest catchers in baseball his
tory-two of the greatest competitors.
I have an idea that slender young
fellow by the name of Vernon Lefty
Gomez will be heard from before the
show is over. Ruffing and Gomez run
just about $3.50 with Lee and Bryant.
All four are top grade.
With a few breaks or turns from
the cock-eyed wench known as Dame
Fortune. this can be one of the better
shows from many calendars.

BLUES LOOK TO WICKER

KANSAS CITY, Oct. (P).-The
Kansas City Blues, still in the running

for victory over. the Newark Bears in
the fourth game of the Little World
Series here tonight on the stout arm
of Kemp Wicker.
Wicker blanked the Bears in the
series opened at Newark to give Kansas
City its lone victory in three games
In the other two games the Blues
pitching was inadequate, the fielding
spotty and the batting weak, with 12-
to-4 and 7-to-1 Newark victories the
result.
Manager Johnny Neun of the Bears
was slated to send Atley Donald,
knocked from the mound In the OPEN

Currently Columbia. Michigan, Ken

and Southern California are hitting
the comeback trail after sorry seasons
in 1887.
Columbia, licked five times last year
Is a grade A exhibit. The attack has
added force and balance. mostly be-
cause Art Radvilas, an end last year,
has been shifted to the wing back po-

He is no Grange, but he gives the
Lions balance Running on reverses to
the short side, he balances Sid Luck
mans strong side charges. To Luck
mans deceptive ball handling the Light
Blue thus has added ability to conceal
the point of attack. Columbia should
field one of the East's best offenses
against Army Saturday.
Michigan Takes Spotlight.
Although Purdue and Wisconsin are

Michigan is the outstanding come

best chance of regaining the heights.
Kentucky, considerably pushed about
last season, meets Vanderbilt Satur-

game that offers the chance the Wild

Mississippi. knocked down by six
rivals, has done considerable come

up the eleven for a schedule in which
they can give every opponent a rub.
Brown Makes Great Strides.
Brown came back as far as any

over mighty Harvard, fresh from its
best season in years. How far Tuss

The lure used almost exclusive
ly down there-and 1t gets re-
sults-is the weedless johnson
silver minnow, both casting and
fly rod size.
Not so many big bugs and matches
flying about, and the fish are feeding

Another similar spot where several
good catches are coming in Is Bush
River, Nd, over on the other side of
Baltimore. This place. however, is
even more overfished, and it takes luck
and expert angling to make an excep-
tional catch. Both Of these spots Incl
dentally are for largemouths.
Note on the bait question-Walter
McCallum tells of some good small
mouths caught up the river recently on
a yellow plug-the yellow River Runt,
to be exact.
Anglers Club Organizes.
Late in the summer, Richard Knox
began organization of a big-game
anglers club especially for those who
fish Ocean City and other nearby
places for marlin and tuna. The idea
is for exchange OF information, get
ting club rates for trips and to have
= good time generally.
Tomorrow night the first
meeting will be held, and all
local anglers are invited to come
out.
The place is Halls Restaurant, 1000
Seventh street Seventh and X S.W..
at $50. This organization should give
the boys who like heavy tackle some
thing to do during the winter while
planning for next summer.
Perry Miller Is Better.

Problem Solving.
Every problem composer is familiar
with the tricks of the trade and
his problems are reflections of his
own originality in different thematic
channels.
Solvers of problems do well to read
at least a minor work ON problems,
something that treats of the two
move and three move compositions and
how to solve them Williams has a
good treatise that is adaptable to the
needs of the rookie.
Reuben Suttkus queries: Ger
tain moves by Black following

tion Tor mate) to the problem in
two moves-is such condition
permissible in three-move
problem?"
The answer is that Blacks reply to
the key move should be the very best
you can discover and you may not
resort to poor or weak moves to give
an undue advantage to White. Black
is entitled to the very best reply at the
solvers disposal. All problem solu-
tions are based on this elementary,
but first, principle toward correct solY-
ing of any published problem, unless
the composer is resorting to some
freak ideas in themes to avoid hora.

Will they postpone the pro match,

been discussed, or they could call on

first time amateurs around this town
