Pair OF Great Wrists
Is eIIinq Assest

Joe'S swing now consists of a full
sweep of the two greatest wrists in
baseball, and little more. Now and
then. voluntarily or otherwise, he
will get twitch of the shoulder into
1t, and then the ball is likely to
sail clean out of the park. But, day
In and day out, it is purely wrist
work. Fewer fly balls, more base
hits.
If you've seen Giuseppe at his
plate chores, you know why he is
destined sooner or later to lead all
the hitters in his league. With
wrists and eyes like his, a batsman
can afford to be patient.
Joe waits for the pitch. Stand
ing fat-footed with his legs widely
spread and his neck bent forward
his eye peering, he follows the
ball from the pitchers hand al
most to the catcher's mitt. BY that
time, he knows what it is, and where
it is going And whether he wants
any part of it.
If he likes it a single quick flick
of those wolf-trap wrists will take
it out of the catcher's clutching
hands and send it screaming on the
ground or on line between the

on the other hand, has been winning

Gauzza's other worry, reverting
to the problem department, arises
in the Departmental League. In

OF Engraving, and when financial
distress caused District Commission
ers to disband Vic sought two good
teams to replace them. He let down
the bars and admitted a pair of
non-governmetal teams - District
Grocery Stores and J. c. Flood.
The idea was to improve the race,
not ruin it, but in two games the
newcomers have busted of Interior

now threatening to make it a two

Signor Victor Gauzza, the pint
sized Judge Lands of most of Wash
ingtons sandlot leagues, is buying
his headache remedies in wholesale
quantities these days and burning
the midnight mazda over diplomatic
texts on tactics and procedure.
Signor Gauzza Is having his troubles
and fresh trouble trying to solve
his knotty problems.
Gauzza, who directs the affairs
of the National City and Depart
mental Leagues from behind a pile

Of dry trout fishing flies, emerged
with a brand-new problem this
morning-one that defies solution
despite his Is years experience in
sandlot affairs, sound logic and cool
temperament. The Greeks may
have had better word for it, but
we merely call it battling. And at
the moment, Signor Vic is battling

this morning, emerging from bis

bait clinging to his sleeves. I've

plucked gingerly at a few strands
of hair draped like banjo strings
across his forehead, and looked gen.
timely puzzled. Yes" he concluded
Solemnly, this one stumps me-"
Here's the Problem.
Last Monday, it seems, Cameo
Furniture's sponsor informed Vic
he was dropping the team current
ly bearing the firms name in the
National City League and taking
over Southwest Market for the sec
ond half race. He wanted better
results and figured a new team was
the only solution. This stirred
GauZza into search for a new
team to fill the cavity and he finally
promised the franchise to Manager
Eddie Robertson of Chillum Heights.
1t would start in the second half
race.
Now Sam Cole. manager of the
current Cameo nine, says his club
Will remain in the league, adding
three new players for the second
half as allowed by the rules. The
announcement stunned Vic. 1t was
akin to having Mr.. Griffith inform
Will Harridge that he would sub
stitute Charlotte for the Mats after
June Is, with Manager Bucky Har-
rls coming along a day or so later
with the admonition to pay no at
tention to the old gaffer. Personally,
Vic doesn't care who plays for whom,
but he wants to keep the league
running smoothly and have the
teams lined up for a running start
in the final half. Complicating
matters further is the absence from
the city of Canoes sponsor. Thus
Gauzza is hog tied, behind the
8-ban, or in the well-known pickle

he's playing waiting game, fgur-

the ball momentarily and, thinking
Keltner had streaked for the plate,
threw to Catcher Rick Ferrell. So
keltner and Hale both were safe.
Krakky's Balk Costly.
Julius Solters swatted for Zuber
and scored Keltner with the tying
run with crisp single to left, Hale
stopping at second, and the runners
advanced as Rollie Hemsley tapped
in front of the plate and was thrown
out by Ferrell.
At that point Krakky committed
a grevious breach of baseball eti-
quette-a balk-scoring Hale and
sending Solters to third. Bruce
Campbell scored Hale with a double
to center.
Washington produced run in its
half of the ninth on double by Bob
Prichard, single by Ferrell and a
sacrifice fly by Pinch Hitter Buddy
Myer and loaded the bases with two

day with the vanguard of dozen
or more marksmen heading north.

scheduled Friday in the nature of
a warm-up for the titular grind, and
Saturday will find the best gunners

battle array for a mass assault on
the clay pigeons.

Heading the Washington delega-
ton is Vic Frank, who last week
won the Maryland 20-gauge cham
pionship with a perfect score. a per-
formance equalled only twice. He
has high hopes Of carrying off the
100 title" at Lordship despite the
fact that he will be pitted against
the best in the East, including a
corps of fellow club members of
more than passing repute. In the
latter category is Rufe Watson,
who cracked SO in 100 and finished
second.
George Deyoe. who won the .4l0
gauge Maryland title; Mrs. Albert
w. Walker, who carried off wom-
ems honors, and DR.. Don johnson,
third in all-bore competition, are
others who figure to win if they ap-

will make the trip and likely will
make a strong bid for the honors.

Di Maggie Seen Headed
For Batting Title
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star


NEW YORK, June % (NAN.A)
Joe Di Maggie means to win the
American League batting title. And
Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker, who
agree that Di Mag is the best ball
player in the game today, sure
thing for the hall of fame when his
business career is over, believe that
the title is Joe's when he wants it
which is right away.
II haven't seen him play ball as
much as most of you have" Cobb
said, but I think I notice he is
shortening his swing little bit.
And that's all he has to do"
The Peach's observation is correct.
.os never will be a punch or place
hitter, but his swing is shorter this
ear, his accuracy has improved,
and he is lashing out singles at the
rate of nearly two a daV.
