Has Club Quit?

And he still may prove him
self to be all that we hoped,
and expected him to be. But
right now it seems as if the
Washington club has quit on
him. There's no other inter-
probation possible as we view
this recalling of Jimmy Was
dell. You don't have relief men
for .345 hitters.
Not unless you are going to
trade them. Are the Nationals
getting ready to ship the Nor

New York has Gehrig. Bos-
ton has FoxX. We find Siebert
in Philadelphia, Greenberg in
Detroit, Kuhel in Chicago "a
deal with the Sox is out Of the
question:; Trosky is in Clevc-
land and McQuinn is in St.
Louis. Who among those men
would be available for WASH
ington in a trade?
The deadline for deals rolls
around on Wednesday night at
midnight, and be prepared for
something to happen before
that time. Disregard the de-
mails that a swap or maybe a
purchase is pending. Harris

What player has Washington

Workers?
Buddy Myer, for one. The
Yankees need a second baseman
right now; a guy who can hit as
Myer hits. Gordon is not a slug
ger, even if he did cuff one into
the stands yesterday to beat the
cleveland Indians. Buddy is
right back in his 1885 stride,
which places him close to Char

Took 8 TO I Bet on

BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

DENVER, June 10 QN.S0.
Anyone who will go out and bet
on himself at the bookmakers'
odds of 8 to l must know" some
thing. Well, Ralph Guldahl did.
He knew himself.
He knew (weIl, he was pretty
sure, anyway that he could beat

was Ralph Guldahl at Madison,

NO CONTEST
The poker-faced, imperturbable
Guldahl finished with a score of
284, even par for u holes, over
that perilouS Cherry Hills layout.
At the finish it was practically
mo contest" for the next best
man, handsome Dick Metz, of
Chicago, was six strokes back
with 200.
Guldahl before the tournament
started laid little bet of $45 on
himself at the prevailing odds Of
8 to l and collected $500 from the
bookmaker after he had COM
pleted his workmanlike job.
Surely the fellow must have
confidence in himself. I'm sure
no one who watched him "go
after" Metz and Jimmy Hines, of
Great Neck, N. Y.-leaders at the
three-quarter mark-has any doubt
about that.

While Metz and Hines, to say
nothing of Lanky Henry Picard,
of Hershey, Pa, were faltering
in the final days play, the coldly-
calculating Guldahl turned on

dazzling Subpar round of 50.
When Guhldahl nonchalantly
clicked in his final putt before a
gawking gallery of 10000 people,
he was six strokes better than
second-place Metz, which meant
he had picked up 10 strokes on
the Chicagoan in the final round.

M|LERS DRAWN
TO PRINCETON
BY CUNNINGHAM
BY LEWIS BURTON

NEW YORK, June IS Q.N.S).
The fifth annual assault on the
worlds mile record, by courtesy
of Princeton and Glenn Cunning
ham, Ph.D., will take place Satur-
day in Palmer Stadium with strong
promise that the tradition of
speed will be upheld.
The loss of lustre through con-
flict with the National Collegiate
A. A. games, taking place Friday
and Saturday at Minneapolis. and
consequent absence of wisconsin,
Chuck Fenske, is sure to be offset
by Cunningham, Pho, and Archie
San Romani, if not the others.
CUNNINGHAM READY
Cunningham, Ph.D., proved him
self prepared last Saturday when
he coupled a 1:54.5 half mile in
New Jersey with a three-Quarter-
mile victory over HOWE Borck at
the New York A. C. games in the
same afternoon. The first race,
run on a squooshy track, proved
his speed. The second, his stamina.
San Romani tuned up with a
winning 1,OOO-yard race against a
field at the New Jersey
championships.
Of the other entries in the
Princeton mile, only Peter Brad
ley, of Princeton, gave a line on
what can be expected from him.
MAY SET FAST PACE
He placed fifth in the N. Y. A.
C. three-quarters and it is alto
gether probable that he may be
urged by Matty Geiss, Tiger
coach, to make the sacrifice for
the sake of Princeton prestige
and set a fast pace in the first
half of Saturdays race to draw
out the others.
Joseph Mostert, Belgian holder
of the 1904 world record for
three quarters, is the dark horse.
Blaine Rideout, of the North
Texas twin Rideouts, isn't 30
much a dark horse, but he isn't
expected to win.

CORNOER'S JURY ABSOLVES
DRIVER FROM ALL BLAME

A coroner's jury, empaneled b.
Judge w. R. Conway, to inquire int
the accident on U. S. Highway, Ii
between Salisbury and Delmar IL
which a Seaford, Delaware, man ant
his wife were fatally injured on Tues
day morning a week ago brought In
verdict to the effect that the acct
dent was unavoidable" and complete
" exonerated Henry White, 10, of Sal
isbury, driver of the car which strucl
the pedestrians.
The victims of the accident were
Elwood J. Anderson, 30-year-old In
surance man, and his wife, Sarah r
Anderson, 81.
Mrs. Anderson died at the scene Of
the accident and her husband succumh
ed at the Peninsula General Hospital
a little over an hour afterward.
According to testimony abduced be-
fore the coroner's jury of which Ralph
R. Purnell, was foreman, White was
returning from Philadelphia and had
as passengers in his car four girl
students of State Teachers College
who had played basketball at Temple
University in the afternoon.
Because of two punctures they had
driven slow on the trip, it was tes-
titled to, and White, who took the
stand voluntarily, said that he had
curtailed the rate at which he had
been driving when he approached the
Cozy Cabin, night club, at which the
accident happened, because of usually
heavier traffic there.
He had not observed anyone on
the highway, he said, until just be-
fore the impact. He applied the
brakes Immediately, he said.
Officer Newton J. w. Lloyd, who
Investigated the accident, testified
that Whites car mad skid marks on
the road for a distance of 100 feet
which, he said, indicated that he was
travelling at the rate of slightly less
than 45 miles per hour-the legal
speed limit.
His investigation also indicated, he
said, that neither White, members of
his party, nor the Andersons, who had
previously been at the night club, had
had anything to drink.
