SEEKS REMATCH
With CONQUEROR
BY HELEN JACOBS
(As Told to International News Service)
WTMBI EDON. England, July 2


WIMBLEDON, England, July 2
Q.N.SD My physician, DR.. j. J.I
Dunning, tells me that my leg in
jury was the result of a recent
miShap to my shoulder.
In trying to save the shoulder,
was throwing too big a strain on
nv right leg. I first felt the in
jury to my shoulder in my semi
final match against Alice Marble
and DR.. Dunning had to give me
special osteopathic treatment be
fore I could move.
I aggravated this injury while
practising with Bill Tilden Sd yes
terday. For a moment I though
1 would not be able to play today
but the doctor bandaged my leg
and I felt fit to go on the court.
What actually happened was
this. When the match stood at
a. in the first set and 40-3O with
Mrs. Moody serving, tried toI
reach a very fine passing shot on
my right leg. 1t felt as though
something had torn.
Mrs. Wightman (Mrs. Hazel
Hotchkiss Wightman) asked me
if I wanted to change the band,
age, but I declined and continued
playing, although I was in very
great pain.
I am sorry I could not play
better, but the pain was excruciat-
ing. Before the match, despite
my bandage, I felt full of conf
dence, but I never thought the
result was a foregone conclusion.
I am going home aboard the
Georgia on July 9, and will be
playing in the championships at
Forest Hills, where I hope again
to meet Mrs. Moody. If I don't
beat her I hope at all events to-
give her a better game than this

Washingtons Rick FerrelI, who
is beginning to think there is nc
rest for the weary, will not be q

If Manager Joe Mccarthy divides
the catching between Rick, Rudy
York and Dickey.
The less temperamental of the
famous Ferrell brothers started
out in this All-Star competition
when it was in swaddling clothes
back at Comiskey Park in 1888
He was out of the picture then for
two years, reappearing next at
Braves field two seasons ago.
Rick has been at bat five official
times in this department of play
and has yet to make a hit.
Maybe he'll crash that column

The Washington times., 1938-07-02

Weight of money may change
these prices, which most likely
will be followed by Sam Boston,
one of the biggest operators in
the country, and Jack Doyle,
the sage of Broadway. Local
men who are not adverse to TAX
ing a sporting chance, said this
morning that the prices we're
about right, and that little
change would be made before
game time.
There is too much power on
the American League team" a
well-informed man of the sport
ing circle said this morning.
"Hitting power such as Jimmy
FoXx, Hank Greenberg, Charley
Gehringer and Bill Dickey sup
ply; pitching, with Lefty Grove,
Johnny Allen, Gomez, Ruffing
and others pouring the ball over
the plate, bids fair to be too
much"
True enough, there is power
and balance on the American
League outfit. Over a season or
through a seven-game series, it
might win by a convincing mar
gin. But the records of base
ball prove that on certain days
the Phillies beat the Giants, or
the Cubs or the Reds. The
Browns beat the Yankees and
the Indians on occasion. The
better team for a season can
lose on some one day.
The Washington times., 1938-07-02

OF Jimmy Wasdell, Harris said
THE kid certainly deserves a
better break than I've given
him. He's played good ball for
us, though he's shown me only
one good day at bat I've been
patient enough with Bonura and
I've given him every possible
chance. Wasdell should get
some consideration. If Jimmy
hits I'll just have to string
along with him. This same,
you know, hasn't changed. It's
still the survival of the fittest."

from the Yankees yesterday, the

the playing personnel is con-
cerned. Let us consider today the
American Leaguers.
For instance, Charley Gehrin-
ger, of Detroit, and Lou Gehrig,
of the Yankees, have played in
all five previous inStallments and
are due in Cincinnati Wednesday
to continue their unbroken appear
ance in this mid-Season baseball
gem.
A 500 AVERAGE
Jimmy FoXX is almost in the
same classification. He has been
chosen as a member of all six
American League teams, including
this years, getting in the last four
games, but not appearing in the
lineup of the inaugural of this
series, played at Comiskey Park,
Chicago, July 6, 1888.
In his four all-star games, Foxx
has slugged the ball for a bit
less than 500, having gotten five
hits out of II times at bat.
Joe Cronin, too, has been in
four games, having played in the
first three games, unsolicited in
the fourth and then bobbing up
again last year for the game here
in Washington. His hitting mark
in four games is $50, with 16
times at bat and safeties.
Whereas Gehringer has gotten
nine hits out of II appearances at
the plate, Iron Man Lou Gehrig
has hit for an embarrassing 200
in all-star competition with but
three safetieS in Is tries.
GOMEZ THE PATRIARCH
Bill Dickey, Yankee catcher, is
coming up for his third inter
league game, crashing the classic
the first time in 1884 at the Polo
Grounds, then playing an encore
at Griffith Stadium last summer.
His total times at bat have been
five, getting three safeties.
Pitcher Bob Grove, who this
year has rediscovered the fountain
of youth, was in the first game at
Comiskey Park and the fourth at
Braves Field, more recently known
as the Bee Hive.
In his first game, Bob allowed
three hits in as many innings,
struck out three and allowed no
bases on balls. At Braves Field,
in the only game the National
LeaguerS have won, Grove allowed
three hits, two runs, two bases on
halls and struck out two-in
three innings.
Lefty Gomez is the patriarch of
American League all-Star pitchers,
having missed only the 1886 game.
He was the winning pitcher in the
initial game, likewise in the 1885
game, as he was year ago here
in Washington. Mel Harder, of
the Cleveland Indians, is the only
other American League pitcher
credited with an all-Star win.
Gomez, as you know, is Cincin-
natl delegate for 1888.
SECOND FOR DIMAGGIO
Red Rolfe, of the Yankees. is
approaching his second mid-sum-
mer call, while Joe DiMaggio, the
goat of the 1886 game, what with
five times at bat and no hits. to
say nothing of one error, is up for
the third time i'll as many years
in major ball.
Roger Cramer and Bob John

HURT LEG SAVING SHOULDER JACOBS
BURKE BATTLES
MCDOWELL. L.S.U.,
FOR GOLF CROWN

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 2
0NSO. - Bert Mcdowell, of
Louisiana State University, and
John P. Burke, of Georgetown,
were to meet here today in the
final So holes of the national
intercollegiate golf championship.
Mcdowell, 19-year-old sophomore
from Kansas City, Mo-, entered
the final round by defeating Lew
Oehmig, of the University of
Virginia, in a magnificent match
which was forced to 81 holes. At
no time during the game did more
than two strokes separate the
semifinalists, but Mcdowell was
forced to play brilliantly to square
the match at the thirty-siXth hole.
He then sank an 18-foot putt on
the extra thirty-seventh to win.
BABBISH RALLIES
Burke's semifinal also was a
thriller. After he had led Bob
Babbish, of the University Of De
trolt, up, which held at 4 up
one the turn, Burke saw his long
lead go glimmering and he just
withstood Babbish's strong chal-
lenge to win, one up, on the final
hole.
Should Johnny Burke win his
match today against Bert Nc
Dowell, of Louisiana State, in the
championship final of the inter
collegiate golf tourney at Louis
vile, KY, it will mark the second
time in the Hilltop sports history
that a Georgetown linkman has
accomplished the effort.
Back in 1923, Maurice F. Nc
Carthy, jr., won the college crown,
playing over the ApaWamic Coun-
try Club. Mccarthy was a fav-

Here's Some Power

Don't think for a minute that
the National League team is
without power at the plate, and
without skill in the box. Let's
look 'em over.
Frank Mccormick, yearling of
the Reds, will play first base,
and he's only hitting .344. Bocci
Lombardi, his teammate, is
macing the ball for a cool .37O.
HerSchel Martin, of the Phillies,
is clouting .351 and is just two
points ahead of Joe Medwick,
of the st. Louis Cardinals. Mel
OFT, of the Giants, is hitting
.311, and has driven in better
than 60 runs.
There's pretty fair power
there, and you will note that
Mccormick and Lombardi, two
of the ranking sluggers of the
National League, will be playing
on their home grounds. Red
land Field is a park of magnifi-
cent distances. A slugger can
clear the fences, but he will
have to tag the ball right on
the stitches.
There will be no right field
fence for Herschel Martin of
the Phillies to tap with a short
fly. There will be no short left
field fences for Foxx and Gro
min and Hank Greenberg. Gehr-
niger will not be bothered, for
he is a line drive hitter. York
and Dickey will be able to clear
the barriers if they connect
solidly, as Dickey did in New
York yesterday.
Suppose This Happens!
Over a season, the American
League pitching staff would
hurl the National Leaguers
dizzy. But who can prophesy
