of the champions at the moment
and when pitchers are going good,
that is the time to throw them
into the breach.
Meanwhile Manager Bucky
Harris was not fretting over the
possibility Of his lads having to
bat against the offerings Of Wes
Ferrell, when and if the departed
problem child of the Nationals
gets into the series starting today.
WHY ALL THE FUSS?

steamed Harris from the Ma
tionals' bench as he was watching
today's early practice.
Il guess our batters don't know
the pitching weaknesses of Wes
Ferrell!" was the phrase with
which Bucky dismissed the threat
of having to face a hurler who
has had more than a year to size
up his former fellows.
There is something to Harris
argument.
They do say that if Ferrell ever
goes into the box against the
Griffmen, here or at Yankee
Stadium, the riding from the
Washington bench will be some

WOMEN'S TITLE'
QUESTIONED I'M
D. C. A. A. U. SWIM |

There was a District Of Colum
bia A. A. U. swimming meet al
Takoma Park pool last night with
a lot of swell competition, but no
body is sure of the winner today
BY normal computation, the Am
bassador Swimming Club won the
meet, 35-28, but if the points
scored by the lovely Helen Mills
of the Ambassador team. are
thrown out, then the Shoreham
team wins, 80 to 20.
There seems to be a question of
the eligibility of Miss Mills, who
some claim is an employe of the
playground department and there
fore not eligible to compete.
In the mems division, the Y. M.
C. A. retained its championship,
compiling so points to win from
Shoreham, with only Is. North
east Boys Club finished third with
seven points.
A new record was set by Betty
Strohecker, who broke her own
mark in the 100-yard backstroke
by four seconds. Her new time is
1:24.4. Ann Bono successfully de-
Tended the free-style title which
she has won four times, and Anne
ArnSon won the medley and diving
contests.

themselves are all low to the

They have a confident carriage

the same color patterns. that is,

ROOKIE MYATT
TO STRENGTHEN
GIANT DEFENSE
By LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 GN.S).
The Giants have reached out and
plucked one of the most promiS-
ing products from their none too
productive farm at Jersey City,
and as today's series opened with
the vengeful Brooklyn Dodgers he
was scheduled to begin taking
more or less firm root at third
base. The party is George Myatt,
currently the leading base stealer
in the International League.
Importation of Myatt is both an
effort to pull the second place
Giants into the National League
race with the Pittsburgh Pirates,
who now lead by four games,
and admission that Mel OFT is
something less than a sensation
as an infielder. He has tried man.
fully during part of last season
and so far this year to learn what
amounts to brand new game to
him after all these years of out
fielding, but still remains more
valuable out there on the picket
line.
HIT BY INJURIES
He hasn't been exactly inept in
the infield-far from it, in fact.
The Giants would have been sunk
without him, but Eddie Brannick,
club secretary, said:
1--WE need OFT in the outfield
and we believe Myatt will fill
that third base job"
The switch was precipitated to
some extent by the recent injury
to Bob Seeds, another farm prod.
uct via several major league clubs.
OFT will take over his customary
right field berth, Hank Leiber and
Jimmy Ripple will alternate in
center and 10 10 Moore will con-
tinue to confound the batters with
his catches in left.
GIANTS DETERMINED
Thus the Giants have brought
in Seeds, Second BaSeman Bill
Cissell, Pitcher Bob Wittig and
now Myatt in a frenzied and zeal
Gus effort to retain that pennant
for the third straight time and
make it a probable three all-New
York world series in a row.
They did pretty well yesterday
without even lifting a bat. On a
curtailed schedule which brought
forth no American League games
and only three in the National,
they gained a half game on the
Pirates. While the Giants idled.
the Pirates took it on the chin
from the Cincinnati Reds, 6 to 2.
the latter winning with four runs
in the ninth.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs
were losing to the St. Louis Cardi-
nails, 8 to 4, and with that tumbled
down into a third place tie with
the Reds.
In the one remaining game, the
Boston Bees beat the Philadelphia
Phillies, to 3.

EASY FOR STEVE

EASY FOR STEVE
Matt said he sent Steve out to
coast" the last two rounds be.
cause the fight was won. It was
hardly a contest because Abrams
appeared to have exhausted his
fund of punches as early as the
third round. Mamakos won nine
rounds and one, the second frame,
was judged even.
The Greek bored in continually
and was hitting Abrams with
every punch in the book. Upper
cutting, hooking, jabbing-Steve
moved relentleSsly like an army
tank and literally moved George
down in his tracks. Mamakos
couldn't floor Abrams but he dia
everything else.
BY his victory, the Greek estab-
lished himself as a really danger
GUS fighter and one who may very
easily scale the heights. He has
youth, ambition, a fair punch and
above all durability and stamina
which are second to no mans in
the fight game. But it was ironic,
IN the final analysis, that it was
MamakoS who ruined his pals
career.
OLD PALS MEET
When informed George was
hurt, the big-hearted Greek rushed
INTO Abrams dressing room and
embraced his former teammate
The words stuck in Steve's throat
Tor long time and he caressed
Georges head like a mother sooth
ing a tired child. Finally Steve
turned to go and all he could say
was, You're okay, George"
For the records, the blast
furnace that was Griffith Stadium
last night took a terrific toll from
the boxers. joey Green collapsed
from the heat, but managed tc
survive long enough to defeat
Joey Sole. After the bout, Green
again folded, but was revived in
his dressing room.
In the other bouts, Vince Ca
rlno defeated Jerry Hall; Billy Bull
lock outpointed Pancho Huerta
and Willie Pitts defeated Willie
Green. MamakoS walked out OF
the stadium under his own power
They carried Abrams out on a
stretcher. A peculiar twist to this
story of two friends, wasn't it?
