customers of the other per-

"SLUGGER" LEE
Such were the conditions
under which Washington was
humbled by the Chisox, who
contrived to cast II runs out Of
16 hits, which is baseball the
way it was originally intended
to be played. It is to be hoped
that the Griffs turn about to-
day, and profit by the example
set them yesterday.
Lefty Thornton Lee, take him

DOUBLE NO-H|T
SOFTBALL GAME

They paid off in goose-eggs last
night in the feature battle of the
inter-city doubleheader o TT ba i
game at Ballston Stadium. It was
the game between DR.. Pepper and
Overnight Transportation of Balti-
more and at the end of nine in
ningS Of play neither team was
able to score. Neither were they
able to get as much as a bingle.
In fact, only two playerS-both
PepperS-were able to reach first
base and this by way of bases on
balls.
The reliable Abe Rosenfield was
on the mound for the MedicoeS,
while Katzen hurled for the Balti-
more ten. Rosenfield struck out Is
batsmen, while Katzen whitfield 18.
The game was one Of the great
est demonstrations of pitching and
defensive play in the history of
Softball in Washington and vi
cinity.
The game was called at 11:45
after the two extra innings by
agreement in order that the Wis
itors could take their truck driving
posts in Baltimore at midnight.
In the preliminary game, Old
Milwaukee nosed out United States
Federal Housing, 4 to 3.

The truth is coming out anent

They have dual personalities.
Whereas a week ago they we're

days they have started to re-

John @. Fan wondering whether
they are fish or fowl.
Not that it's any particular

It was "Seabiscuit against the

If it were the Seabiscuit of a

Grove was willing to pitch to

He will not allow Grove even
to throw a ball until next Tues

FIGHTING FOX is
CHOICE IN RICH
EMPIRE FEATURE.
Classic Lacks GIamor
of Stagehand's Entry
BY Ed CURLEY

EMPIRE CITY RACE TRACK,
N. Y. July 16 U.N.S0.-Fifteen
high-class thoroughbreds have been
nominated for the Butler Handi-
cap, rich Empire feature, this
afternoon. This is a struggle ever
the mile and three-sixtenths course
and has an estimated value of
$27, 500.
In a way the stake is robbed Of
some of it's brilliance by the alb
sence of Stagehand, the Maxwell
Howard star. A few days ago his
trainer, Earl Sande, said Stage
hand would start. Later develop
ments, probably orders from
Owner Maxwell Howard, sent the
Sickle colt to Chicago for the Ar
lington classic to be run a week
from today.
Fighting Fox, full brother to
Gallant Fox, should land the
purse. The Belair stud colt is
dropping II pounds off his recent
start in the Empire City Handi-
cap, when he finishd half a length
in back of Stagehand. That was
Fighting Fox's first start in many
day, and it was an excellent
performance.
ESposa, the william Ziegler
mare, is one of the dangerous con-
tenders. Esposa has shown speed
this season and she loves this
course, as records will show. With
only ia pounds on her back she
should be right up there.
Flying Scot is another that must
be given consideration. Disregard

chusetts Handicap, as he stepped
in a hole at a time when he was

recent controversies, characterized
it as the first step in restoring
the games to a standard in closer
conformity with the Olympic
ideal.
Peaceful Finland comes like a
breath of fresh air after the bit
ternesS and strife attached to the
successive award of the games to
the militaristic German and jap
aneSe nations.
AS far as is known, Japan is the
only 1886 participant that won't

United States, whose American
Olympic committee has been think

send a maximum delegation.
Finland's official acceptance of
Count Henri de Baillet-Latour's in
vitation as chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the I. o. C. and
president of the organization, may
be expected any day. The techni-
cal problem confronting the coun-
try holding such an event is too
great to permit of a snap decision.
AS track-minded nation, however,
Finland could be expected to get
strongly behind such an event and
consider it a great national festi-
val. The people are sure to regard
Japan's loss in prestige as Fin

- ~ 49, NA1N
It was Snead who was driving
the ball a mile down the fair
ways but it was Runyan who COM
penSated for his lack of hitting
power with grand display of
finesse and touch about the
green's. Big Sam just couldn't
match Little PoiSon's" sensa-
tional putting this morning and
therein lay the story of the start
which may be the story of the
finish before the sun drops its
smouldering eyes behind the lush
hills of Shawnee's terrain.
SAM PRESSING
Time and again Snead took
three puts while Runyan was,
sinking his puts with deadly ac-
curacy. Paul started out with a
Cup lead which was gradually
widened as the Stiff-fingered
Snead got all the bad breaks and
began pressing on his short game.
Runyan shaved five strokes
from par with a cracking 81 while
Snead required five strokes more
for the first 10.
Both hit the green on the short
par 3 sixteenth and both missed
their birdie attempts from 80 feet
to halve. At the par S sixteenth
hole both got on in two shots and
two puttted for brides.
The mighty mite from West
chester birdied the third and
fourth holes and won the ninth
with par. Snead's only birdie
came on the fourth hole where
Runyan rolled in a 23-footer for
the first birdie and Sam followed
with one from five feet.
SNEAD LONGER
Snead was outhitting the 1884
P. G.. A. champion by so to rs
yards and was usin? short irons
to the greens where Little Poison
was betting them up with woods.
Runyan started off this morning
on the short end of 2-to-1 betting
but from all appearances it should
have been just the reverse.
Both hit the first green In
regulation and both got down in
two puts to halve. A seven iron
shot left Enead a short putt for
birdie at the second but Slam
min Sammy trimmed the cup to
allow Little Poison a halve.
At the par five third hole, both
put their second shots in traps
bordering the green. Runyan
blasted out within a foot and
a half of the cup to win the hole
while Snead exploded we'll passed
the pin and missed coming back.
The fourth was halved with
brides when Runyan'S magic
putter rolled in a 23-footer to gain
a halve from Snead who was lying
just five feet from the pin for
what apepared q sure victory.
HURDLES STYMIE
A roar of applause rolled across
the lush fairways of Shawnee at
the fifth when Snead trying for
a birdie from 4 feet missed to lay
Runyan a dead stymie and the
mighty mite negotiated it with
out even taking time to sight it.
Snead looked like he would even
matters on the sixth when he put
his ball 10 feet from the pin, when
Runyan was SO yards to the left
of the green.
But Little Poison knocked his
approach 9 feet from the pin and
a wave of the magic wand and he
had halved the hole with a par
after Snead's ball with a hunk of
mud on it rolled around the edge
of cup and stayed out. Snead
missed another chance to square
the match at the seventh when he
failed to get close enough from
just short of the green to get his
