MATS SEEK FIRST
1888 WIN IN HUB
Weaver Is Slab Nominee in
Series InauguraI-West
Finally Gets Hit.
By a staff Correspondent of The Star.

BOSTON, Aug. 19-Monte Weaver,
whose last two pitching efforts were
marked by victories over the White
Sox and Red Sox, was to open WASH
ington's pitching here today in the
opener of four-game series with Bos-
ton. Fritz Ostermueller was the Sox'
slab choice.
The Mats so far have drawn a blank
in Fenway Park. They have won none
out of five starts in Boston. The cur
rent series is to consist of two single
games and a double header on Sum
day.
Sammy West broke f1ve-game hit
less streak when he bounced an in
field single on his first trip to the
plate in the second game of yester-
days double-header with the Yanks
in Washington. He followed with a
more legitimate single to right on his
second time at bat.
Fancy visions Of Zeke Bonura tang
ling with Catcher Bill Dickey Of the
Yanks in q free-for-all at the plate
were stirred in yesterdays opener.
Zeke put on a rare display Of dis
temper in the eighth inning, claim
ing Dickey was tipping his bat. They
made up later.
The Yanks do most of the winning
in Griffith Stadium but in every Sc
ries so far there has been a collision.
Previously Di Maggie was taken to
a hospital after humping into Joe
Gordon. Yesterday in the opener
George Selkirk was forced out of the
game when he rammed into frankie
Crosetti as they chased Lewis pop
fly in the seventh inning. Crosetti
bounced up unharmed but Selkirk
staggered as he arose and then col
lapsed. He was carried to the dug
out after trying in vain to make it
under his own power. Later he
walked to the dressing room un-
aided. His right leg was hurt.
The nifty National Training School
Band got Id some licks from the left
field stands, including two renditions
of Hail to the Redskins" Mr.. Clark
Griffith was reported to have dis
patched q scout to determine whether
Jack Espey Of the Redskins was play
ing piccolo.
George Case and Buddy Lewis. fast
est of the Mats. outsped themselves
on the base paths in the fourth in
ming. With one down they singled
successfully and managed to re-
tire the side Case tried to take third
on Buddys hit of Gordon's glove and
was caught by the Yankee second
baseman's throw to Red Rolfe. In the
meantime, Lewis tried to make second
on the play at third and also was
caught, Rolfe to Crosetti, for q double
play.
Rolfe emerged from the double
header looking like the guy who fought
Ambers the night before. Case, lead
ing of the opening game for the Mats,
shot a grounder to third. The ball
bounded weirdly and struck Rolfe over
the right eye, opening cash. Blood
was flowing freely as Rolfe went to
the dugout for repairs. Case got q
double on the ball.
The crowd of $4,000 was something
like 5000 short of the expectations of
ball park officials. Yesterday was
radio appreciation day. and the fans
were supposed to come to the ballyard
to show their appreciation Of the home
broadcasts. Maybe they thought they
could appreciate things better by stay
ing at home and listening to the air
accounts. F. E. s.

Levis Amazes Gr,en With Streak of Errors Against Xanh
From The
Press Box
Paper Cup Gusts Bottle
To Disorm CopitoI Fons.
By JOHN LARDNER.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Living where
he does, around the corner from the
Government, and under the Govern
ments influence, Clark Griffith has
launched an anti munitions campaign
which makes it illegal to sell heavy
artillery to the customers in his Wash
ington ball park.
All bottles of more than 30 caliber
are barred by the new ruling.
I'VE have got very temperamental
line of clients at our ball park" ex-
plains Mr. Griffith, whose brain is
universally conceded to be the busiest
in baseball. Arm these fans with
high-caliber bottles and you are
making so much cannon fodder out
Of the athletes on the field.
disarmament is my slogan. note
with regret the tendency of my fellow
magnates to make an arms race out
of their soda pop and beer concessions.
The bottles get thicker and more lethal
year by year. True, the marksman-
ship of the customers is very rotten,
as a general rule. That's the only
thing that prevents the American ball
player and the American umpire from
becoming as extinct as the dodo."
Calling his staff about him, the good
gray Washington leader published the
new order of the day.
Convinced Thot Poper Cups
Are Not Good Ammunition.
"The word is paper cups" pro-
claimed Griff. I'VE will sell our wet
goods In paper cups. Guard the bottle
as you would your life. Laboratory
tests have convinced me that a paper
cup, even when fired from gun, is
relatively harmless at so PAGES.
Remember, the man who peddles a
bottle to baseball fan in a state of
war is just as guilty as the man who
SHES the glassware President Har-
ridge expects every man to do his duty.
Get out there and sell those cups"
The fellow who touched off the
latest munitions scare in Washington.
the Archduke Franz Ferdinand Of last
weeks Sarajevo. was none other than
Alvin "Jakey" Powell, the outfielder of
the New York Yankees. The good
people of Washington could hardly
wait to guzzle the dregs of their ochre-
colored pop before flinging the con-
tainers at Jake, in an earnest effort to
reform him.
You'll recall that Powell spoke |
shghtingly of the Negro race in sort
of impromptu radio broadcast not long
ago. In Washington. where Jake once
played, they brooded about this, and,
when the Yankees came to town, the |
fans opened bombardment along the |
whole of the bleacher front.
They shelled their target with a
million pre-treaty, big-navy bottles,
only couple of which were effective |
at the range. Jake lodged in and out |
among the flying glass so skillfully
that he suffered nothing worse than a
shin bruise from a ricocheting flagon.
But it amt the customers aim that
counts. That was always bad. It's
the principle OF the thing.

TARTANS NIP
N. c, STATE IN
HARD BATTLE
Inspired Wolfpack Holds
Visitors Scoreless for
First Half

RALEIGH, Nov. %. (UP)-An
inspired, fighting eleven of North
Carolina State held Carnegie Tech
scorcless through the first half OF
a hard-fought game yesterday,
but SUPERIOR power, given a break
on penalty, gave the Tartans
from Pittsburgh IA to 0 victory:
A crowd of $4,000 sat stunned
through the first half of the game
as the State Wolfpack, already
beaten six times and tied once
during the season, fought off one
Carnegie attack after another
and kept the Tartans, who had
lost only to Notre Dame, away
from their often-crossed goal line.
The first score came in the
third period after Carnegie Tech
drove from it's 80 deep into State
territory. After they penetrated
to within ~ yards of the Wolf
pack goal line, State held and Ray
Garnelly, Tartan quarterback, at
tempted field goal. The ball hit
the crossbars and Art Rooney,
State quarterback, ran the ball
back to the 20. q.
Then came the break that turn
ed the tide. Rooney and Andy
Pavlovsky, States big halfback,
could gain but two yards in two
attempts. Rooney punted out of
danger but a clipping penalty was
called on John Tatum, State end,
and Carnegie Tech was given the
bali on States 27.
Merlyn Condit, whose spectac-
ular play led the Tartans to their
victory, took the ball over his own
right tackle on the next play and
plunged and twisted 27 yards
across the goal line. Calnelly's
placement was good.
The Skibos took charge of the
game then, and scored their sec
ond touchdown in the fourth Pc
riod.
Both sides played heads-up foot
ball and not a tumble was record
ed. Statistics gave no idea of the
closeness of the game. State made
only five first downs to the Ski
bOs' l3, only 81 yards from rush
ing to Carnegie's 265. States
punting wah superior and Rooney,
some of whose kicks were. better
than 60 yards, had a punting av-
erage of 43.6 as compared to 1877.
State attempted six passes, COM
pleted one for one yard. Carnegie
attempted seven and completed
two for 81. None was intercepted.
