Departmental Mines
Rebuild in Effort
To Nip Interior
See Chance Of Checking
Team Now Superior
In Second Half

Apparently regarding the task OF
overtaking Interiors pace making
aggregation as well-nigh hopeless
the other three clubs in the Depart
mental League are charging off the
first half series to experience and
diligently building for the second
half when concerted effort will be
made to bring Jim Murphys crew
to hand.
Leading the pack with six straight
victories at this writing, and with
no immediate prospects of losing,
Interior is lock bet to win the first
half honors in gallop. Commits
sioners, three games behind in Sec
ond place, is the only team to make
it interesting for the leaders and it
has lost two in row to the Murphy
mob. 1t would be discouraging but
for the second half-but the field
has high hopes of stopping the
stampede in round two.
Maritime Slowly Improving.
Maritime is slowly but steadily i'm
proving-and continuing to add
players who should add power to
the batting attack. Manager E. T
Dillon's crying need, however, is
pitchers. Bender Giller is the only
one who has shown ability to go the
route thus far-and Giller apparent
ly is good for only one game a week
Maritime figures to be a much i'm
proved club when the second half
barrier goes up June 10.
Bureau of Engraving has been a
terrific disappointment. 1t is a far
cry from the Bureau mines of other
years, which always were in the
forefront of the flag fights. The 1889
club needs revamping badly.
Tom Collins Commissioners ap-
pear to be capable of stopping In
terror, but the Irishman is faced
with a problem of getting all his
regulars on the field at the same
time. With Tommy Doonis, who
turned in a no-hit, no-run game
Saturday; Bob Lyons, slim" Lacy
Elmer Wesley and Emmett Buscher
on the roster. Collins has a pitching
staff equal to Interiors.
Can't Get Regular Team.
The team is we'll balanced afield
with a lineup that includes Joe
Mills, Jimmy Horan, Johnny Simons
Freddy Noone and Mackie. They
have power at the plate and sure
footedness afield, but they're not al
ways together. Assignments from
the District Repair Shop. where the
boys are employed, sometimes pre-
vent them from getting to the field
on time and there isn't much Collins
can do about that.
Until such time as the opposition
improves the only fear Interior has
is that of overconfidence-and this
seems little far-fetched on a team
embracing such as Jake Farrell, Vic
Gauzza, jr.; Jewett Murphy, Keyser
Fones, Hudson ct al.

Tennis appeared to be the sport
to talk about today on the Amer

Eagles finished a most successful
season yesterday when a 6-3 con-
quest of Georgetown proved to be
their 18th victory in is matches.
Defeat of the Hoyas was espe-

Three National League
Jobs In One Yeor

After II years with the Yankees
he has made three stops in the Ma
tional League in little more than
one year. Certainly if he knew
nothing of the National League in
the days when he was a fixture at
the stadium. he must have learned
a good deal about it since.
Tony served under two managers
IN Chicago and went through a
pennant fight that ended in
photo finish and then, for the
first time, knew how it felt to be
on the National League side in
a world series with the Yankees.
In Brooklyn he played under Leo
Durocher, brand new to the business
OF managing and, like himself,
former American Lacquer. Now
ne Is with Terry. who has spent
all his major league years in the
National and is one of it's most
successful and firmly established
pilots.
Expediency dictated his latest
move. The Giants needed some
protection at third base and he
needed a job but the chances are
that Tony feels his future lies in
the National League. My own no
tion is that the National League
can use him very nicely in one
capacity or another. His best play
ing days are a long way behind
him, of course, but he is a robust
soul with great spirit.
In its battle to regain supremacy
In the baseball show, the older
league can use lot of fellows like
that. That thought well may have
been behind Terry's haste in grab
bing him.

For More Surprises
By GRANTLAND RICE.
Special Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, May II (N.A.N.Ao.-
The career of Tony Lazzeri takes
another turn with his signing by the
Giants. Curiously enough, this is
about the only turn it has taken that
didn't surprise anybody. With the
Giants stumbling and needing help
at third base and with Lazzeri on
the market, it was a cinch that Bill
Terry would grab him. 1t would
have been very surprising indeed if
Bill had allowed him to get away.
But Tony has supplied plenty of
surprises in the years since he came
swinging up out of the Pacific Coast
League to join the Yankees in 1926.
The first was that he was not only
a ready-made major league ball
player from a mechanical stand
point, but that he, busher, vir-
tually took command of the Yankees
on the field-and without trying 1t
was just that the older players rec
ognized that this slim Italian kid
had an uncanny baseball sense and
iron nerve under fire.
The second surprise was his tre-
merdous appeal to the crowds and
especially to the Italian fans, not
only in New York, but wherever the
Yankees played. There were many
famous figures on that Yankee
team, but the kid ranked second
only to Babe Ruth with the fans
and there were times when he even
eclpsed the Babe.

Managerial Bee
In Tony's Bonnet


His departure, not so much from
the Yankees but from the American
League IL years later was another
surprise. Tony had worn himself
out as player with the Yankees
and with Joe Gordon coming up
from Newark for the 1888 season, he
was looking around for spot for
himself somewhere else as the 1887
season waned He could have re-
manned with the Yankees as a coach
and he knew it, but he couldn't see
any future there. He has-and still
has, l aSSume-manager aSplra-
tions and he wanted to break loose
and start over again in some other
town, so the Yankees gave him his
release.
The general notion was that he
would join another American
League club, since he had spent his
entire major league career in that
league and didn't know his way
around in the National. But to
everybodys amazement he signed
with the Cubs. P. K. Wrigley an
nouncing that he wanted a little of
the Yankees spirit on his club and
that Lazzeri would be expected to
furnish it and also to serve as a
coach and adviser to the manager,
Charlie Grimm.
Hired as brain truster. Tony
furnished another surprise by act
ing as utility infielder and pounding
the ball hard through the early
weeks of the season. Meanwhile,
his engagement had seemed to bar
the way to advancement for Gabby
Hartnett, generally regarded as the
likeliest successor to Grimm if
Charlie failed again In Wrigleys
opinion, he had failed in 1887. But
when Grimm was removed, Hartnett'
got the job as manager and Tony
was marked for shipment. His re-
lease last winter was not a sur
prise. That had been forecast the
day Gabby took over the reins.
Tony still had two surprises up
his sleeve. however. One was his
signing with the Dodgers, the other
his recent release by the Dodgers.
His 1888 experience in the Ma
tlonal League not having been an
altogether happy one, it was as
sumed that he would return to the
American. AS a matter of fact,
there were rumors that he was
slated for jobs in Cleveland, Chi
cago and st. Louis. But there he
was in a Brooklyn uniform when
the season started and, as sub
stitute for Pete Coscarart, he helped
to win some games and keep the
Dodgers up in the league by wallop-
Ing enemy pitching for two doubles
and three home runs. And then,
suddenly. he was out.

TIN HATS, lNC.' NEW LEGION GROUP
First National Convention Set for September in
 Fort Wayne
By PHILIP KEITH PALMER

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Fort Wayne, Ind, Aug. 30-(UP) Indiana, the home of the Ameri- can Legion and the American German Legion, now has new group forming under its wing.
 This organization, known as Tin Hats of America, Inc, draws its membership from all national guardsmen throughout the country, past and present. With that as a base, it can build up, potentially, to the largest American organization with military roots.
 In 1886, a group from Company K, 152d infantry of the Indiana na- tional guard, formed 8 social group and called 1t "The Tin Hats" This club has grown, and James Forth, the national president, has kept the ball rolling for the last three years.
 Forth, lawyer, who drafted most of the constitution, said that every one appeared to like it, and it was adopted without much argument. That constitution sets up regulations for officers, but aside from that, 1t leaves most of the legislation up to "the bylaw of the various poSts."
 To Foster Fellowship
 In its preamble, the founding docu- ment states, we of the nation al guard in order to petpetu- ate the spirit of good fellowship :. and fostered by the good fellowship of the flowing bowl in order to foster Americanism, patriotism and loyalty to our country establish this constitution of the Tin Hats of America, Inc"
 How this is to be done is left up to the various posts, unless the na- tional convention adopts some specific stand and adds 1t to the original constitution in amendment form. Commissioned officers are eligible for a special type of mem mership which does not permit them to vote or hold office. It is primarily an organization of enlisted men. Time Period Ignored
 In all other veterans organiSa- tions, membership is limited to cam paignerS of definite war period, Forth pointed out. The Tin Hats is not tied down in that way, Forth added. Eligibles for the Tin Hats will constantly be created so long as the United States shall have nation al guard units within its borders.
 At present, there are about 800 members. But that, according to Forth, is because the Tin Hats are attempting to build from a good solid basis.
 This September, at its first na- tional convention in Fort Wayne, the wheels" will begin to turn efii- ciently," he said.

 Mead was suspended for 13 months both as a manager and 8 second. by the New York athletic commission yesterday in the most drastic action ever taken by the body. It was Mead's punishment for insulting Referee Arthur Donovan, the third man in the ring whne Armstrong's lightweight title was annexed by Lou Ambers last week. Donovan penalized Armstrong five rounds for fouling.
 A four-month suspension was handed Ambers' manager, Al Weill and the seconds license of Joe Jacobs, pilot of Tony Galento, was revoked along with refusal to is- sue him a managers license.

The Jacobs action was punish ment for Joe's charges that Joe Louis had a "gimmick" in the glove when he kayoed Max Schmeling in June, 1888. Jacobs later admitted the charges were untrue. and that he had given the story to the press to help publicize the Galento-Louis fight last June.
 Because the Armstrong; -Ambers welterweight title fight. scheduled for November in Madison Square Garden, was signed before the action against Mead and Weill, the commis- sion agreed to lift the suspensions against both managers for 30 days preceding the bout.
