a campaign. but it does serve as a
span to detect improvement. In
the Mats last 10 games Archie has
walloped at a 400 clip, delivering
three doubles, triple and two home
runs and boosting his average IA
points to .268.
George injected his third homer
of the season at a timely interval
here yesterday, enabling the Mats
to earn split in a double-header
with the Yankees. His homer in
the 18th inning gave Washington
5-3 triumph in the opener before
Marvin Breuer Shackled the Mats
with five hits to win the nightcap,
5-1.
Archie was responsible, too for
the Mats being around II innings
in the first game, for he poked a
double into the proceedings in the
ninth inning that allowed Washing
ton to lock the score at 3-3. Mickey
Vernon had singled to open the in
ming and Archie, after watching a
home run bid sail foul by inches,
bounced a grounder into the left
field boxes for a ground rule two
Dagger. Vernon scored on Jake
Early'S infield out.
Sid Hudson was presented his
eighth victory of the year in the
18th when Cecil Travis singled to
open the inning, moved to second
on Vernons sacrifice and scored
ahead of Archie when George
deposited homer among the Gus
toners in left field,
Hudson and Ernie Bonham staged
a neat pitching duel. The Mats

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-George
81 Arches conservative nature is play
ing tug-of-war with his conscience
these days, for while the Mats third
-ebaseman still is conserving con-
Sersation, he is becoming amazingly
eXtraVagant with base hits.
Archie's emotions range from
seeming indifference to studied sto-
lidity and his lack of oomph has
distressed President Clark Griffith
to point where he has called Archie
on the carpet and requested him to
make some sort of noise occasionally,
even if it required touching off a
few flrecrackers.
The old college try, or at least the
verbal portion of it isn't standard
equipment with Archie. He would
make an excellent cheer leader for
Gallaudet and if parked beside a
mummy the odds would be to the
mummy would speak first. When
the gift of CAB was being passed
around Archie was stunned.
Never Is Disturbed
e he is being paid to play baseball
He prefers the silent style and if
the advocates of noise snort he
rightfully may point to Charley
Gehringer as no waster of words,
but nevertheless a brilliant per-
former in his day.
There probably never was a less
inspiring figure to wiggle into a
major league uniform. He is the
Stepln Fetchet of baseball an ap-
parent misfit. but dismissed merely
as nice guy with less color than
quart of gin.
Nothing seems to disturb him. He
strikes out or hits home run and
his GumpiSh features reflect no dis
tress with one or elation with the
other. If he loves his labor he
doesn't show it. He is the all-time
champion at taking things in stride.
Some weeks ago Comedian Joe E.
Brown, attending game at Chicago.
cautioned against giving up on
Archie. An enthusiastic fan and an
avid student of the game, Brown
said, He'll get going later in the
- year. He was too good a player in
the Pacific Coast League not to
make the grade in the majors"
1t seemed Brown was remaining
In the role of comedian or failed to
mention the year Archie would get
y going. for weeks passed and Archie
improved only in creating good will
among opposing pitchers. He was
hitting the size of his collar and his
fielding could be labeled no better

affiliated with the Mats that Archie

ported to be. At least, though, he is
fulfilling that better late than

MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 14-There's
an old story in boxing that Jack
Dempsey was a great fighter partly
because he learned how in many
ways before ring -days-via lumber
camps, coal mines, barrooms. etc,
to name few. An odd style didn't
f1uster him
Some of the same goes for tennis
to listen to the public parks boys
tell it. The opinion can be found
in more than few quarters at the
National Public Parks and Play
grounds Tennis championships, cur
recently under way here, that, given
equal ability, an experienced public
parks player will beat the private
club man.
As proof, the parks boys point to
some topnotchers who, they say,
were first public parks topnotchers-
Vines, Riggs, Bulge, Stoefen.
Long-gaited Willis Anderson, the
Los Angeles post office worker who
rode here in a railroad coach mot
Putnam and who many pick to
ride to this years singles title, feels
one can learn to play tennis best
if he comes up in the learn-while-
you-work school of public parks.
Having no coach, he says you
study out the fundamentals by
yourself, then fit them with your
style. You meet a lot of fellows
doing the same thing and they toss
some mighty strange looking tennis
about. A player either must learn
how to cope with it or he doesn't
win tournaments. So you become
resourceful. Then your own game
isn't orthodox and that makes it
hard on the, other fellow, too.
This contrasts with the picture
public parks boys draw of private
club tennisers learning an orthodox
style from coach and competing
only against orthodox styles.
Gives Coast Advantage.
II think one reason the West has
so many good players is that most
OF them are public parks players to

CHICAGO. Aug. l4.-Jimmy
Dykes can take off his shoes now
without having to worry about
grabbing them in a hurry. His
new contract says he has three
more years to sit around the
hearth at Comiskey Park.
The 44-year-old White Sox
manager and Mrs. Grace Comis-
key, club president, put it down
on paper that Dykes should con-
tinue in the job he's held longer
than any of his IA predecessors.
Jimmy got a raise" said Mrs.
Comiskey, and the guesses were
that it meant his current S25, 900
stipend had been boosted to
around $4,000 or $28 1000.
