On Tuesday the Federal Bridge

Federal games will start at 8:l5, and
only a 14-carat excuse will avert the

The playof for the Luther Stew

the right to compete by having an
average in both sessions equal to the

but I'm quoting our Mr.. Golden
verbatim.
Wednesday evening will mark the
opening of the Bridge Leagues two
session-two-section July masters.
There will be, as heretofore, a sec
ton for seeded players who have
master points to their credit and
another for holders Of. and aspir-

prizes will be entry fees for Asbury

in War stamps. as well as master
point or two for the former. and
a convertible and stamp award
for the latter.

Wynn Only Lags
In Spurt Mats
Hur|ers Stage
Extra Toll Expected
To Get Early Back
To Winning Form
BY BURTON HAWKINS,
Star staff Correspondent.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 13.-It Is
with feeling Of futility that Rookie
Early Wynn approaches his chores
these days, for in the Mats recent
production of elegant pitching the
husky right -hander has been of no
help.
Washington has lost only one Of
it's last nine games and Wynn was
the losing pitcher in that instance.
The Mats have won IL of their last
Is games, in fact, and on three of
the four losing occasions Wynn has
been charged with defeat.
When Washington was nestled in
the basement it was Wynn who
gave the Mats an occasional lift.
He was the Mats leading pitcher
for a time.
Wynn apparently was headed for
successful season several weeks
ago. While Buck Newsom, Sid Hud-
son and Walter Masterson were alb
sorbing shellackings, Wynn became
Washingtons only winning pitcher
with eight victories against six de-
feats. Since then he has been
hammered hard and often.
Labor May Cure 1t.
Manager Bucky Harris and Prexy
Clark Griffith believe there Is Moth
ing wrong with Wynn that strenu-
Gus toll wouldn't cure. Wynn is in
clined toward the stout size and
the Mats bosses feel he isn't labor
ing enough to keep in shape.
Meanwhile, Newsom, Hudson, Mas
terson and Alexandra Carrasquel
have supplied superb pitching for
the Mats. There is no secret to
the Mats recent success, for the
chief element of their excellences
has consisted of fine pitching by
that quartet.
! Hudson has won four straight
| games and Newsom and Carrasquel
each has won three straight. Mas
terson is enjoying his most success
full year, with four shutouts in
cluded among his victories, and Bill
zuber has inserted occasional splen-
did relief pitching.
Hudson, though, probably has
been outstanding in Washingtons
| stretch squirt. In his last four games
Sid has permitted only seven runs
and % hits in 36 innings, beating
Detroit, I'll; Cleveland. 20; New
York, 4-3. and Boston, 9-3.
Pitching Becomes Tight.
In constructing a 5-game winning
streak for the Mats the pitchers
have been astonishing. They've linn
tied the opposition to an average OF
two runs and seven hits game.
Only one run has been manufactured
off washington pitching in its last
% innings.
Carrasquef was to pursue consec-
utive triumph No. here today as
the Mats battled the Athletics.
Outweathered yesterday. the Mats
will make up that game on their
final trip here next month.
Tomorrow night the Mats will
tangle with Trenton in an exhibit
ton game that will mark the return
to service of Pitcher Dutch Leonard.
Idle since April % when he suffered
broken leg and severely sprained
ankle, Dutch plans to work three
innings.
Facing the Mats over the week
end are Saturday and Sunday dou-
BILE headers at Boston. against which
club Harris will send Wynn, Hudson,
Masterson and Newsom.

SAN DIEGO. Calf, Aug, 13.-
When the Eastern crowd OF Red
skins showed up at training camp
patting one another on the back for
being in such swell shape, only to
discover they weren't-of those who
laughed longest and loudest was
Wilbur Wilkin, the Frisco brulserK
Wee Willie's outlaws were in orr
der because he reported as trim as
a COB standing inspection, no bay
window, aminumum OF surplus
flesh, and as light on his feet as
a live and jam enthuiast.
And wilkins laughs may be har-
bingers of more smiles OF approval
from other sources, with nod in
the direction of Coach Ray Flaher-
tv. who has deep and abiding
suspicion that this fugitive from
a Ring Lardner column is headed
for his brightest year in the pro
grid circuit.
If Flahertys divinations are cor
rect. the other clubs can take heed
because Wilkin at his best is bad
medicine.
Best When Peeved.
He's the kind of guy who can
be as good as he wants to be, but
he's got to be in bloody frame
of mind to rise to the occasion.
Against the Bears, for example,
he stood out like a gun bayonet,
stabbing and hooking practically
everything the Halas henchmen
aimed at him. They tried to gang
up on him and he went marching
after them. He was in no trif1ing
mood that afternoon. But at times
when Willie is at peace with the
world and unable to work up peeve
about anything, he's as gentle as
a big, shaggy st. Bernard. They
push him around. run over him and
treat him shamefuNy. Nor does he
seem to mind. Boys will be boys
and he gives couple of them a
playful shove, knocking them head
over tincups and lets it go at that.
But this time it's different and
something new has been added.
He's hustling all the time with no
letup. If Willie finishes the cam
paign the way he is beginning prac-
tice, the skins" should have no
tackle worries. Fred Davis appears
to be up to par, or about three
bloody noses and couple OF black
eyes a session, and between the two
of them they should handle the
starting assignment in good style.
