Hondiest Boil Player
Frisch Ever Had

He got his first name from the
great Eugene V. Debs. That was 81
years ago, in the thriving hamlet
Of Bangs, Tex. At Howard Payne
College, in Brentwood, he played
football, basket ball and baseball
and in between ball games he was
a sprinter on the track team.
Fast-he gets many a leg hit and
steals many a base. Fine arm-he
once started two double-plays in a
single game from left field. Sharp
eyes-the National League pitchers
can't get him cut any more.
He broke in with Abilene, in West
Texas. The St. Louis Browns
brought him up in 1882 and later
farmed him out to San Antonio,
where the Bees picked him up.
Frisch watched the Bees as a radio
broadcaSter all last year and one OF
his first moves when he returned to
the big time as manager of Pitts
burgh was to lay his hooks on
Debs c. CAIRNS.
"One of the handiest ball players
7 ever had" says Francis. Hes
the leagues best hitter, and don't
forget It,"
That's what he is for me, too, and
for any one who can hear himself
away from anad ding machine
the champion batter Of the National
League for the season of 1910.

Among the visitors attending the
Federal Security Chess Club lecture
recently we're Divanites Norval Wig
CLINTON, Leonard Minkof and Ernest
Knapp. George ChernoWitz dis
cussed the theories underlying
number of important chess openings
especially that applicable to the
kings pawn.
Harry Siller and Milton Paul drew
in their match, the outcome OF which
will decide who is the best second
boarder in Federal Security ladder
play. DR.. Carl Farman drew against
Chernowitz while Murry Brimberg
and S. B. Solot also tied. Walter
Perkins adjourned his game with
Jacob Perla.
Keen interest is being manifested
in the eight-club tournament that
commences September Is. Capital
City, Divan, Federal Trade, Federal
Security, Interhigh Chess Associa-
ton, Paul Morphy, Archives and
Maritime Commission - all are
polishing up their active member
ship.
Anent Mr.. Morphy.
That Irish fighter Murphy was
good. Of course, when he left his
native heath and migrated to France,
to Portugal, to New Orle.nS, he
carried hero blood in his veins.
Somewhere along the way he
changed his name to Morphy and
when he had son born to him in
New Orleans he christened the
infant Paul Charles Morphy.
This infant grew into manhood
and at the very threshold astounded
the world with his prodigious chess
ability. Sufhceth that he became
the recognized de facto world cham
pion ere he was 81. Then came the
reaction; the flight from fame, the
psychological completes, and finally
oblivion after a meteoric career
Chess players continue to speculate
on the genius of Paul Morphy. In
the August issue of British Chess
Magazine one j. Mieses INDUCES in
"reminiscences. About 1903 he visited
the United States on a chess tour
and at the New Orleans Chess Club
met Charles Andree Maurian, an
intimate friend of the late Paul
Morphy. Maurian told of Morphy's
greatness and Mieses learned that
both ANDERSEN and Louis Paulsen
considered Morphy the strongest of
all masters that they had met over
the board. Modern masters, Rubin
stein and Maroczy, have made spe-
cial study of Morphy's games. Their
verdict is: Paul Morphy is the
strongest chess player who ever lived
From 1857-1859 Morphy was unbeat-

Technically Keeps Title
From Pirate SIueeer

That's where the technically
comes in. Owing to the revages of
an occasional pinch-hitter, who
sometimes sneaks into 100 or more
Ieague games with only about $50
times at bat to show for it, they
have set up a new standard in the
Bureau of Statistics-400 times at
bat is the minimum, not 100 games.
And that makes it rough on
CAIRNS. For CAIRNS is not pinch
hitter. He is a full-time hitter who
got started just a shade 100 late.
Two weeks sooner-perhaps even 10
days-in the lineup and Debs would
be your official champion.
He's the champion anyway for
this departments money. We will
send him a plaque If he wants it.
Seventy points is too much differ
ence. CAIRNS has practically as
many hits now as Bill Nicholson,
Hank Leiber and Ernie lombard,
all of whom will qualify as full
time"
You've never heard much about
CAIRNS This Is the first year that
his usefulness has shown in the
figures. But in Boston for several
seasons they considered him one Of
the most useful outfelders in the
business and in Pittsburgh today
Frank F'risch finds him more than
useful at third base.

Tech Outlook Appears Brighter Than Dark Picture Painted by Coach Wondac
Redskins See Another Battles
In Seymour, Handsome Rock
(Redskin Rookies-No, ~

Unaware of the fact that he's been
stamped another Cliff Battles"
here's another instance of the Red
skins current crop of remarkably
modest rockies. And while advising
Washington girls that he's probably
the most handsome rookie on the
squad, with a million dollar smile
and personality to match, we'd bet
ter warn them that he's happily
married.
Born in Wyandotte, Okla, Sey-
mour played high school football in
the little mining town of Commerce,
up in the northeastern corner of
the State. There he met and de-
veloped quite a friendship with
Wayne Chambers and Charley
Chestnut, two of Jim Pixlee's first
George Washington eleven. In fact,
Seymour seriously considered COM
ing to G. w. before deciding to stick
to his home States university.
Starting out as a center in high
school, Seymour shifted to tackle
ana end before transferring TO the
backfield because of a shortage of
ball carriers. But he's remained
behind the line ever since, Gaping
his college career by being named
all-Big Six Conference fullback last
year.
His biggest thrill came, not as
member of Oklahoma's undefeated
team of '38 when he led the con-
ference in ground gaining with 694
yards, but in scoring the first two
touchdownS against Northwestern
last year, when the Wildcats were
favored to beat his Sooners. Okla
homa's final margin was $50.
Probably the best tipoff on Sey-
mour's value to the team was the
fact that the only two games 1t
lost last year were the final pair
when he was in the hospital with
a brain conclusion.

Buzzsaw Henry Armstrong still Is

in the National Boxing Associations
opinion, and the sigh of relief from
corpulent Eddie Mead, his business
agent, may cause hurricane warn
ings TO be hoisted.
Henry was okayed by the asso-
citation in Milwaukee last night
when 1t handed out its quarterly
ratings. Under the new system
challengers for his or any other
title were not designated by num-
Der, but simply grouped under the
heading of outstanding contend
ers."
Maads sigh of relief is genuine.
for his meal ticket was about to be
marked invalid by the N. B. A. for
failure to sign for bout with
legitimate welterweight contender
within the prescribed 90-day period.
He had signed for the bout with
Phil Fur scheduled September %
at Griffith Stadium, but that failed
to appease the association. FUR
wasn't ranked, it pointed out.
Mead Rushes Signature.
So Mead grabbed the nearest pen
and put his John Henry on articles
for another championship joust,
this time with Fritzie Zivic of Pitts
burgh. 1t was-and still is-to be
staged in New York, where Mead has
$500 iron men posted with Mike
Jacobs guaranteeing that Henrys
next titular appearance will be in
the big town under Jacobs ageis.
All Mead has to do now is figure
out a way of appeasing Gen John
Gighthorse) Phelan, Mike Jacobs
and New York in general. Neither
Phelan nor Jacobs like the idea of
Armstrong boxing Fur in Washing
ton for the title-even though Hen
ry is a strong favorite-and taking
on Civic two weeks later.
Certified along with Armstrong
for another three months were
champions in the following brackets:
Heavyweight Joe Louis; light

weight, Tony Zale, lightweight,
Sammy Angott; featherweight,
Petey Scalzo; bantamweight, George

Overlin Is a Contender"
Ken Overlin, currently making
Washington his headquarters, and
Billy Soose. spidery Pennsylvania

Ford Retains Rinqer
Title in Great Uphill
Battle With Ellis

Holsey Ford today still was Met
ropolitan District champion of the
colored section of The Stars annual
horseshoe tournament, but the iron
grip that Holsey held on the title
for the last two years appeared loos-
ened.
In the final of the tournament
last night on the Commerce Build
ing Courts it seemed he would lose
it altogether, as George Ellis District
of Columbia champion, won the first
three games. 1t was the first time
in three years that Ford had lost
championship skirmish.
But he rebounded with ven-
geance, announcing at the end of
the third game that he would win
the next four, which he proceeded
to do by scores of SOL, 50-38,
500 and, to make 1t decisive,
50-7.
1t was a brilliantly pitched match
almost throughout, with Ellis at
times hitting a pace of nearly 10
per cent ringers and Ford going
even bit better. With all the chips
down in the final game, the champ
struck his peak, slamming on IS
per cent.
1t was the second time in the r.
year history of The Star tourna-
ment that title was won after the
loss of the first three games. Clay
ton c. Henson, current Metropolitan
District champion Of the white sec
ton, turned the trick decade ago
against George c. Thompson to
capture Northern Virginia honors.
Henson's youth and stamina decided
the issue.
Ford's triumph made him the ruler
of the colored horseshoe pitchers of
the District, Southern Maryland and
Northern Virginia.
