There are a large number
of motorists who still pick up
thumbers as they go along
the public highways. This, in
spite of all warning to the
contrary. One would think
the various instances of this
with dire results to the
motorist, which can be read
in most any large daily paper,
would be a lesson in caution.

CONCERNING EMPLOYMENT

There are two sides to the
question and we are not TAX
ing sides, for everyone knows
of various instances where
each has a strong case. But
we do see the passing of
many bills in the land limit
ing the employment of mar
ried women. The national
employment situation being
what it is, the fact that there
are still women who work
after marriage when they
have a husband able to sup
port them, is an angle that
must be considered.

There is a Tightening of
the laws in many states re-
garding the employment of
married women. This is es-
pecially true in the field in
State and local governments.
Where they formerly raised
objections if the husband was
employed by the state, it is
now whether the husband is
employed at all. This prob
lem has rapidly spread into
education and there are many
schools who do not employ
married women under any
circumstances.

You may say these cases are
exceptions and perhaps they
are. Yet there are many

Improved Speedway
Ready for Midget
Autos Tonight

Whether it was the novelty of the
thing or a genuine desire for midget
auto racing which attracted more
than 10000 spectators last week is a
question that may be partially an
swered tonight when the motorized
jitterbugs play a return engagement
at the new Capitol Speedway.
It's possible that 20 drivers will
take off at the starting gun when
time trails are begun at 7:30 o'clock
at the track near New York avenue
and Bladensburg road NE. Pro-
noter Jimmy Frattone already had
signed IA drivers early today and
said that a half dozen more may
show up by race time.
Frattone and his aides are con-
vinced that last weeks turnout was
not due solely to curiosity, as they
have added four new entrances and
exits to facilitate handling of large
crowds. In addition a new public
address system has been installed
and new pits and wire fence built
for the safety and convenience of
drivers and spectators, respectively
Incidentally, the motorcycle races
originally scheduled for Friday
have been Cancelled because of an
other exhibition by Lucky Teter and
his He'll Divers on Thursday.

Riggs Seen Ally
In Singles Win
Over Anzacs
Given Edge on Quist
And Bromwich, With
Doubles Conceded
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-America's
chances of keeping the Davis Cup
for another term are far from hope
less since frankie Parker cams
back and gave his convincing dis
play in winning the singles cham
pionship at Seabright last week.
The handsome Polish boy has re-
turned to hard competition with
better equipment than ever before,
including for the first time fore
hand that compels the respect of
every opponent.
During the winter, when it was
popular to lament that Donald
BudgeS turning professional vir-
tually had made a present of the
Davis Cup to Australia, Parker sell
dom was mentioned as a possible
replacement for the great red-head.
He was regarded as through" with
big-time tennis.
Parker, Riggs for Singles.
Now it is the next thing to a
sure bet that Bobby Riggs Wilt
play the four singles matches for
Uncle Sam in the challenge round
at Merton next month.
frankie really bowled them over
at Seabright. The ease with which
he polished off the other candidates
left no room to doubt his improve
ment or his superiority. This means
a great deal, for the Australians
after all do not have Bulge or a
Vines or Perry or even a Won
Cramm in their lineup.
The best the Australians have is
Jack Bromwich, a nearly great play
er. Parker, on the form he dis
played at Seabright, would have an
even chance of beating him. Both
Parker and Riggs should defeat
Adrian Quist, the Aussies' No. 2,
and that is all the victories needed
to keep the cup. The Australians are
too good for us in doubles, and
BromWich is better man than
Riggs. So it will be up to Parker
to trim Bromwich
Parker Choice Over Bromwich.
All this is conceding the Aus
tralians victory over Cuba in the
American-Zone finals and over the
Yugoslavs, champions of Europe, in
the inter-zone finals. But suppos-
ing it should come down to a decid-
ing battle between Parker and
BromWich? My money would be on
Parker, because I watched him, cold
as ice, score the conclusive VIC
tory over England in the 1887 chal-
lenge round at Wimbledon.
He didn't have his new fore
hand then. All he had on that side
was a weak, sliced shot that was the
target of every player he faced.
Yet when it came time for him to
beat England's Charlie Hare, a tall
fellow with a terrific service and
raking volleys, he set about calmly
to do it with the loss of only eight
games. The same Hare, two days
previously, had carried Bulge to a
l5-13 first set before Succumbing.

Good Field, No Hit,' Is Curse
OF Nationals With Their
Rockies This Season

To the Nationals dismay they are
finding the bushes are full of neat
and nifty infielders and outfelders
but when it comes to finding some
batting power their luck has de-
serted them.
The latest minor league recruit
to worry the bosses, President Clark
Griffith and Manager Bucky Harris,
Is Bob Loane, the strapping fly
chaser who was sent down from the
Mats Eastern League farm at
Springfield.
Loane has played only two games
in a Washington uniform and OBJ
viously this is too short test for
any decision as to his batting punch.
1t is established that he can field,
throw and run and is giving the
Mats an adequate brand of defensive
ball. What is worrying Griffith and
Harris is his batting stroke. 1t
doesn't look good to them.
But before we start trying to eX-
pertinent with him." said Griff
today, as the Mats resumed their
home stand against the st. Louis
Browns, well give him chance to
get settled. After all, he batted $3.50
in the Eastern League with that
same stroke So it can't be entirely
bad"
Punch in Crop Shy.
Loane. a right-handed hitter, has
a peculiar style at the plate. He
lunches his left shoulder and wraps
his left arm around his neck. So
far the American League pitchers
have been a little too fast for him
but, as Griffith says, he deserves an
opportunity to demonstrate his nat
ural style. If he doesn't begin to
hit after reasonable period of time
Harris will start changing his stroke
and stance because Loane looks too
promising to be dismissed.
Griffith hasn't been very success
full with his 1899 crop of rockies.
Jimmy Wasdell, who opened on first
base, did not contribute much to the

Mats batting attack Bob Prichard
another first baseman. came up from
Charlotte with a fancy stick average
but he couldn't cope with major
league hurting and was shipped to
Springfield. Jimmy Vernon seems
to be the best of the three young
first sackers and lately he has been
hitting the ball we'll. But his av-
erage is only 1873.
Bobby Estalella is another rookie
who hasn't lived up to his minor
league slugging reputation. Last
year he hit for a fabulous 1886 in
the Piedmont League and, as re-
suit, was voted the most valuable
player in the circuit. But in 63
games with the Mats he has batted
only .267.
Browns Invade Stadium.
Outhelder Johnny Welaj, who was
sent to Springfield to make room
for Loane, did not hit we'll last
year but broken hand handicapped
him. But in 1887 he batted around
.34l in the Eastern League and
seemed to have the earmarks of a
promising hitter When he left the
Mats, though, Johnny wasn't clout-
ing much. Jimmy BloodWorth, who
has hit in every league in which he
has ever played-including the fast
Southern Association goes for
pretty good distance but his average
is 1854 He seems to be the best
of all the rookie batters, however.
There has been no complaint
about the fielding ability of these
chaps. Wasdell wasn't good but he
wasn't bad. Even EstalellaS field
ing overshadoWs his batting. Welaj,
Prichard, Vernon. Bloodworth and
Loane all are good defensive men.
Resuming their home stand, which
still has nine games to run, the Mats
were to depend on Ken Chase, whose
latest effort was a 2-to-0 victory
over Cleveland. The last few days
found the Mats hitting a good stride.
They increased their lead over the
seventh-place AS to 21a games.
