James A. (Jimmy) Powell, State
Bureau Of Identification and 1nves-
tigaton expert, is likely to make his
very first important lest Of the bu-
reau's new lie dctcctor" almost any
day now.
About d month ago the bureau re-
ceived the detector (known in tech
nical terms as d ''psychograph") and
Powell has been studying 1t from all
angles ever since.
II is not alone the only one IN
North Carolina, but is probably the
single lie detector (barring several
thousand wives who make it science
to catch up with their huSbandS) be-
tween Washington and Atlanta.
II hasn't been used in any GRIM
inal investigation yet, but according
TO Powell it will be called into play
at the next real opportunity.
The SBI expert says the evidence
of "psychograph" should not, IN
his opinion, ever be accepted by d
court, unless backed by other testi-
mony highly corroborative; but he
feels that it can be Of inestimable
value in unearthing and following up
clues by the bureau.
Incidentally, the highest courts Of
four states have admitted "detector"

OId-Timers Had 1t Eosier
Playing With Dead Ball.

I'll tell you something" one OF
the Cleveland veterans said. odd
timers always are talking about the
play of the stars who once made
the headlines. They talk about a
more scientific game. I'd like to
see some of these old timers handle
the ball they hit at you today
infeld or outfleld.
The game today is twice as fast.
!, This modern ball comes at you like
q rifle shot many times. You can't
afford to lose a split second. The
same is true in the outfield, where
line drives come whistling by. 1t
takes much better starting speed to
handle the new, faster ball, no mat
ter what position you play. Those
old-timers we're lucky when 1t came
to handling a much slower ball, one
that gave you more time to cover
your ground.
Baseball today is far harder on
the nerves. You have to be alert
every second man is at bat. You
are tense all the time in any close
game. The old-time game may
have been more scientific, but the
game today is largely matter OF
speed and power"

Would Prefer Star Hurlers
To Best of Stickers.

The clubhouse chitchat drifted
around to the comparative value of
pitching and hitting.
"If you had your choice" I asked
one of the veterans, who would you
take-Ruth, Cobb, Wagner and
FoXx-or johnson, Alexander, Feller
and Grove-each at his peak?"
81 don't have to wait on that
one" he said. I'D take the four
pitchers. Give me those four
pitchers and I'll give you any four
big hitters you might name"
What about Derringer and WAL
tiers losing 9 out of 10 recent
starts?" I asked.
What team is leading the Ma
tional League?" he came back. And
who put them up there-Derringer,
Walters and Thompson. Pitching
still is the main idea when you are
out after a flag"
THAT must be right" some one
cut in. almost every one rates the
Boston Red Sox as the best team
in baseball-outside of their pitch
ing They have the strongest in
field and the best outfield. They
have the punch.
But what good is all that when
they keep losing games, 9 to T.,
10 to 8, or maybe, 7 to S? They
have to score seven or eight runs
to have a good chance-and they
lose some of these. Connie Mack
said the Red Sox could win with his
pitching staff, and I guess he's right.
If you haven't got good pitching
you are out of luck"

|Homesfeads One Win
From pennant After
Double Triumph

Washington's first Negro National
Baseball League pennant since 1896
is all but in the bag with the Wash
ington Homestead Grays holding q
1k-game lead over the Baltimore
Elite Giants. These same Elite
Giants, then operating out Of Wash
ington, brought the flag here four
years ago.
The Grays took the lead from the
Giants yesterday by winning both
ends of q twin bill at Griffith Stadi-
UNI, 6-1 and 6-5, and need to take
only one Of the remaining two games
to clinch the title. Ray Brown, ace
Washington hurler, won his 18th
consecutive game yesterday when he
held the Giants to five hits in the
opener. His mates overcame q one
run handicap by blasting out all six
of their runs in the eighth inning.

GALESVILLE, Md, Sept. a.
Shippers competing in the West
River Sailing Clubs 18th annual
regatta here hoped for a pickup in
wind conditions today for final
events in the three-day affair.
Most of the official program was
completed yesterday, but a few
races, mostly for local boatmen,
were on tap today.
West River Club boats had a
slight edge in yesterdays sailing,
winning three events. Annapolis
and Fair Haven Clubs each won
two classes. while the only WASH
ington victory was turned in BY
George Banker, who won the pen
gum race in his Catspaw.
In contrast to Saturday, when
q spanking breeze whipped boats
around the course, the craft almost
were becalmed yesterday. The
morning events were delayed 80
minutes and the afternoon races
IS minutes before enough breeze
stirred to get the boats away.

Grabbing Golf Crowns
Bogart, Oliver Hold
Likely Tough Task
Capital Amateur, Public
Links Champions Still
Look Best in Fields

How about this for bunch par
lay7 Ralph Bogart Of Congressional
and Andrew oliver of any public
course you want to name to retain
their District golf championships
this month.
The odds would be around Is to /
against the double victory for these
two youngsters who will defend
their city titles fortnight hence
But we wouldn't want to lay them
For two years, since Claude Rippy
left the public courses fiat, the
Oliveri youngster has dominated the
public links championship. He fig
ures to win again in the tournament
coming up September %, and prob
ably will retire the Leofier Trophy,
which goes to three-time winner.
Bogart Greatly Improved.
Ralph Bogart was the surprise
winner of the District amateur
championship last year at Burning
Tree. Few figured the tall Con-
gressional and Army Navy lad as
having more than an outside chance
in a field that included Roger
Peacock, Volney Burnett and Claude
Rippy. They were the big shots,
along with Billy Shea, but Bogart
went through.
This year Ralph has been cam
paigning through the North and
East. He has been a good golfer
for two years. but he's a real player
now. The Bogart youngster is a
much steadier linksman than ever.
He makes few bad shots, which is
the strongest point of his game. And
he has q swing as finely grooved
as that of any amateur around
town.
Few Repeat for d. c. Crown.
1t isn't often that a repeater
comes along in the District anna
teur championship. There are
plenty Of good golfers who can upset
the talent. But Bogart is good
enough to do it again.
Oliveri Is no cast-iron cinch to
win the public links title. He will
have such rivals as Leroy Smith,
Ken Zent, John Jankowski, Bobby
Burton and Bob Leapley. But Andy.
IN the past, has proven his ability
to get along all right against that
opposition.
Wonder II some one wouldn't like
to lay around Is to / against the
chances OF these champs repeating?

Show! Victory Looms
For Spanish Spear
Al Warrenion
HoIystone Looks Horse
To Beat Among Hunters;
Jumpers Bottle Keen
BY ROBERT HENRY,
Star Stan CORRESPONDENT.

WARRENTON, Va, Sept. O.
Probably the only safe bet on to-
days closing Horse Show card here
is that Mrs. D. N. Lees amazingly
consistent thoroughbred, Spanish
Spear, will win the champion g.
year-old of Virginia class as well
as the novice or green hunter title.
Otherwise, the show is wide open.
That is, both the conformation and
open jumper titles might be won
by horse ribbonless when the sec
ond day events opened this morn
ing.
With three blues In as many
classes to his credit, Spanish Spear
figures to continue his superiority
over the young stock Of this sector.
Already winner of three 3-year-old
titles in this State, the big chestnut
son Of Espino appears almost GER
tain TO take both awards mentioned,
just as Mr.. and Mrs. w. Haggin
Perry's Scotchwood did last year.
incidentally, Spanish Spear has won
nine blues in his last 10 classes, six
out Of seven coming at Orange last
week.
Holystone Hunter to Beat.
In the hunter division, Crispin
Oglebay's Holystone naturally is the
one to beat. This national cham
pion made good Saturday in his
only outing, winning the hack class
from a large field, but faces a trying
schedule today with seven classes
on his card.
This morning two horses were
tied for the lead in the open jumper
division - Holystone's stablemate,
Question, and H. H. BUTTS Hobo,
the oldest horse now being shown
regularly in Virginia. The chunky
little veteran is in his middle 20s.
With the 5000 jumper stake already
to his credit, Hobo can be lnplaced
today and still make his presence
here worthwhile.
Many of the best-known horses
here will have to make a belated
rush If they are to live up to their
regulations. Such champions as
Mrs. George Watts Hills Inky, grand
champion last year; Robert S.
Waters Royalty II, Upperville
champion; Holiday Farms Big John,
champion here in 1895 and 1897;
Mrs. M. E. Whitney's 1888 title
holder, Spring, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Perry's To Victory, all failed to show
much Saturday. Each had many
chances today, however.
Black Caddy's Chances Good.
Washington-owned horses, which
have done fairly well, had their
best chances to star today In the
500 Skyscraper event, which last
year went to the District wonder,
Rocksie, owned by Margaret Cotter.
With Rocksie absent this year, 1t.
Fred Hughes, jr.'s, Black Caddy
figured as the one to stop. Whether
some Of the Northern horses like
Question or Mrs. Harry Franks
Grand Larceny can compete with
Caddy Is doubtful.
The Northerners never have been
able to beat the little 13-year-old
stallion, and he's as good or better
now than ever.
