GRIFF STADIUM

Week Ended May ~
AMERICAN LEAGUE

Mr.. Joe Turner will shortly give
his flying troupe of wreStlers
plenty of space to practice their
tricks. It seems the chubby little
arena on Fourteenth Street is
growing too hot-both from the
standpoint of the weather and the
heat generated by oVerzealous GUS
toners.
Mr.. Turner is, planning his first
outdoor show and we'd advise Mr..
Clark Griffith, the Washington
baseball club tycoon, to be on
hand. Mr.. Griffith Is sadly in
need of pitchers, we hear, and If
he goes out to one of Uncle Joe's
shows he'll probably come up with
some muscle-bound boys who'll set
the American League clubs on
their heads.
Certainly, the rasslin' boys have
been dumping each other on the
conk and you should see their con-
trCl! Why it has been nothing at
all for Joe's boys to hit q target
at 80 feet. With the added facil-
tiles of the ball park, the ushers
will be picking the wreStlerS out
Of the center-field bleachers.
Turner hasn't decided on his
opening card but he wants to
bring in Bronko NagurSki; present
champion, or Steve Casey, assist
ant champion, against the winner
of the Bobby-BrunS-Or -Orville Brown
match which takes place Thurs
day night at the arena.
The bout is the third straight
here for both these latter gentle
men. What started as an ordinary
preliminary has developed into q
feud that rivals the Hatfields and
the McCoys.
Brown and Bruins, threaten to
break the long-run record for
competing athletes here and If
they keep getting rematched
they'll make Tobacco Road" look
like a one-night stand.
The boys were all even in the
first bout and Brown won the
second, which wound up after an
hour or more Of tugging with
both boys as cold as last years
love. They were scheduled to
wrestle last Friday night, but the
Gevinson7Sarron boxing match
was given the preference and the
show postponed.
The winner has been promised
match with either Nagurski or
Casey-it all depends on which
side comes to terms with Turner.

find Chief Thunderbird against

brides on two others, and played
the remaining two in par.

Smiths approach shots on the

that he finished the first nine one
down, although he managed to
match his opponents 81.

Last week we told Of q few
sturdy salts, who were going to
explore the middle of the Gulf
Stream, some rs miles off shore
from Ocean City, Md, in hope
of locating the feeding grounds
Of tuna, white and blue marlin.
Well, the boys went the way Of
the Gulf Stream, but failed to
hook into a single savage fighter.
Instead, they had an experience
that takes us to the days when
the lookout shouted, Thar she
blows" Let's quote the story as
related . by Jim Jarman, in q
letter to this column.
"The Gulf Stream trip was un-
eventful, except Capt. Talbut
Bunting got his boat straddle Of
q large whale and he was scared
the monster would tear off the
keel. He saw the whale headed
for his craft and he called to
the mate to switch the boat
around. AS the boat was swing
ing the whale cut right under,
churning the water like a chef
beating an egg, but no damage
was done.
"The boys stated they saw at
least 200 whales in the school,
spouting like that famous gey-
ser, "Old Faithful" They also
sighted an immense school Of at
least 1000 giant porpoise. The
explorers will make another trip
when the weather settles, but
whales are off their listing"
Some nice catches were re-
corded at Ocean City, Md, over
Sunday. Capt. Raymond Savage
had as his party on the Bob Joe,
Owen Coney, Clarence Rohr, N.
H. Stearn and Carl Lipp, all Of
Washington. They caught 400
pounds Of sea bass and porgieSs
