piled up earlier in the year appear
ready to reap a terrific toll.
Licking the wounds of a three
game losing streak, cultivated yes
terday at Griffith Stadium by drop
ping 80 and 60 decisions to the
pennant-contending Detroit Tigers,
the Mats literally have jumped from
the frying pan into the fire, for the
Yankees are the hot club of the
league.
Ken Chase, who is losing more
than his quota of close engagements,
was defeated in that 80 opener,
brace of doubles by Dick Bartell and
Schoolboy Rowe breaking a % tie
and rather neat pitching duel.
The Tigers had taken a 10 lead
in the second inning when Bartell
walked and Pete Fox rammed a
triple to center, but Washington
tied the score in the third when
Buddy Lewis singled, stole second
and scored on Johnny Welaj's sin

Buddy Myer beat out a slow

again knotted the game by blast
ing his twenty-fifth homer Of the
season among the left-field pa
irons in the fifth.
The Mats, who had hammered
Rowe for seven hits in the first four
innings, obtained only two more
SafetieS. Greenberg accounted for
four of the nine blows Chase yield
ed, while four of the five walks Ken
allowed were issued to Rudy York.
Modest Buck Newsom throttled
the Mats in the six-inning night
cap, allowing only four hits as the
Tigers pounced on Sid Hudson for
four runs in the first two innings,
with Greenberg slamming another
homer into the left-field stands in
the first inning.
Detroit added two more runs of
Carrasquel in the sixth and, when
the Mats failed to nick Newsom in
their portion of the inning, Umpire
Pipgras scanned the fog and dark

in prolonging the suffering.

But the prospect is that next We'd

Co. the present mortgageholder.
What would become of the big
Congressional membership If the
club does not continue as a country.
club? That's question that comes
up next. The answer Is, that most
of them would go elsewhere-if they
could find a place to go. -Four or
five Of the major country clubs
around Washington have full mem
bership rolls. There wouldn't be
room for any considerable group.
Chevy Chase and Columbia have
lengthy waiting lists. The others
easily can be guessed So if Con-
gressional does not continue to func-
tion as country club a good many
people who have become accustomed
to country club golf and other facili-
ties will be left without a club.
But that prospect is remote. The
chances are many times to one that
Congressional will be rolling along in
better way before many DAYS
elapse, and that the future will bs
brighter.
Start Was Elaborate.
The beginning of the story goes back
to the hoopla days of the early 20s,
when almost every one had moneyan
not many people cared what became
of it. Congressional really was
needed in those days, when the Ma
tional Capital was in the middle of
golf boom which saw at least five
new clubs blossom in the years be-
tween 1922 and 1923. But Congress
sional was different. 1t was different
in many ways from the other clubs.
If only for the elaborateness of its
fittings, the big names which graced
the founder list and the generally
lavish scale that marked the new
organization.
A President of the United States
Calvin Coolidge-attended the for
NAL opening. First president of the
club was Herbert Hoover, then Sec
retary of Commerce, later to become
President of the United States. Con-
gressional, with a magnificent club
house, costing in the neighborhood
of 100000, and one of the best golf
courses, was the most complete
country club plant-and the most
ornate-between New York and
Miami. For years it went along all
right. Now comes the downbeat of
the auctioneer's hammer.
But in this case it isn't the end.
1t is, men active in club affairs says.
the beginning of a new period of
prosperity for the club. 1t will give
you an idea of their optimism when
we tell you that in addition to- the
already outlined Improvements on
the course, including fairway water
ing and construction of a new nine
holes, some $4,000 is to be spent in
the clubhouse proper.
Does that appear to be oblivion for
Congressional?

ton. in other words. hardly seems
equipped to check the pennant no.
tions of the suddenly revived
Yankees.
Washington's outfit represents a
large item to the onrushing New
York club. for it is chiefly by
hurdling the floundering Mats that
the Yankees hope to achieve their
fifth straight pennant. The Mats
and Yankees still are slated to
collide IL times and that is no note
of misery to the defending cham
pions, who had won eight of 10
games played as the teams squared
of today in the first Of q 4-game
series.
The Mats and their 7-man
pitching staff face a dismal outlook
within the next 10 days. Manager
Bucky Harris is searching under
clubhouse lockers and in trunks
for stray pitcher to carry him
through the current series, but
when the New York engagement is

worries have only started.

news the Mats must meet the

Erasure Of German
Taken as WARNING
To Redskin Vets
Six Players to Receive
Walking Papers, Coach
In Tough Quondory
BY BILL DISMER. Jr.,

EN- ROUTE TO MILWAUKEE,,
Aug. 30.-With Jimmy Germans
release having awakened all to a
realization that Coach Ray Fla
herty wasn't kidding when he said
veterans would feel the ak as well
as unimpressive rockies, at least
three more Redskin regulars of
1899 were on tenterhooks today as
they contemplated a second squad
cut Monday after the Labor Day
exhibition with the Green Bay
Packers in Milwaukee.
But if old players were on the
anxious edge, their plight was no
more than Flaherty's, whose head
aches over the necessity of another
wholesale release sent him crying to
Trainer Doc Mauro for aspirin.
Flaherty's first reduction was
simple compared with that he now
faces. Briefly, here is the situa-
ton: Thirty-nine players still are
under contract, % of them veterans.
Seven of the 10 surviving rockies
now are almost certain to stick.
The league limit is 80 players.
Therefore, at least three more vet
Grams seem destined to experience
Germans fate.
Make 1t Tougher for Ray.
Making Flahertys task the harder
were the superlative performances
turned in Wednesday night at Spo-
kane by Sandy Sanford, the big, fast
end from Alabama; Bob Fisher, a
220-pound tackle from Southern
California, and Charley. (ChucR
Slagle, a clever, hard-fighting little
guard from North Carolina, who ap-
parently isn't going to give up until
ordered Because Fisher lives in
California, it's logical to assume he
wouldn't be with the squad on its
eastward journey if the Tribe chief
tains didn't intend keeping him.
Adding to this trio are such sure
fire bets as Roy Zimmerman, the
teams new No. quarterback; Bob
Seymour, Ray Hare, Bob Titchenal,
Steve Andrako and Bob Hoffman.
Farkas in Bad Way.
A rumor that Hoffman is nursing
a game leg have drifted to the Skins
from Chicago, where he played
against the Packers last night, and
if SUCH is the case he hardly would
be retained. In good shape, Hoff-
man has loomed as the best blocker
the Indians have acquired since
Erny Pinckert reported eight years
ago.
Riding the rails of the Northern
Pacific for the second successive
day, the squad is scheduled to reach
Milwaukee early tomorrow morning.
One of the first things to be done
upon arrival will be to summon a
doctor to examine Andy Farkas'
right leg, which is paining him Sc
verely. The game little halfback
remained in his lower berth all day
yesterday with his knee propped up
by a pillow, but he got little rest.

Sale of a country club at auction,
as the Congressional Country Club
Is scheduled to be sold next Wednes-
day, is not new stuff around Wash
ington. Or in many links areas.
Many clubs, unable to survive the
market crash of 1929, we're sold dur
ing the early 193Os. One other local
club-the Beaver Dam Club
changed hands about seven years
ago.
We've heard many people with
secondhand information on the sale
of the Congressional club say some
thing like this: Gosh, I didn't know
Congressional was going under. Will
that mean the end of the club, or
just what will become of that club?"
In some quarters there seems to be
an impression that Congressional is
going to fold up and go out of busi-
ness. Nothing could be farther from
the truth.
Friendly Receivcrship.
Without going into the past finan-
cial setup at Congressional (Which
Is SCTlCLly IIle DuSlIleSS Oh Tic CluUj /,
it became apparent some time ago
that a reorganization was needed at
that club A committee headed by
Gen. Frank T. Hines worked for
months on a plan, which received
the support of the mortgage holder,
and still has it. That plan calls for
a friendly receivership, a repurchase
by the mortgageholder of the club
property and assets, and mainte-
nance of the Congressional Country
Club as going concern. Whether
the name will be changed is not
yet known.
But Congressional as a country
club will exist for long time. That
comes from one of the men who has
been intimate with all the arrange
ments for the reorganization.
Club Not Likely to Close.
In Baltimore yesterday a group of
second trust bondholders petitioned
a Federal court that the club be ad-
judged bankrupt, and that the pro-
