Curtis Deal Is FouIed as Adkins
BoIks Over Going to Atlanta

Additional complications in the
deal that is supposed to bring Pitch
er Vernon Curtis of Atlanta to the
Mats at the close Of the Southern
Association season arose today, with
Pitcher Dewey Adkins of the Mats
refusing to report to Atlanta as Or
dered by Boss Clark Griffith.
IT guess I'm through with base
ball" said Adkins. I'm planning
to go back on the farm at Wilson,
vile, Nebr., and help out there.
We're paying a man 81 day to
work the farm and that's nearly as
much as I make.
Il was willing to go to Atlanta
until Mr.. Griffith told me 1 didn't
know thing about pitching. Id
say that's heck of a thing for him
to say because I've only pitched 10
innings for this club all season. He
certainly can't tell whether I'm any
good or not off what he's seen OF

Mats Little Men Big in Crises;
Tackle Tigers Twice Tonight

At dinner time tonight the Mats
will be occupied with seeking a
fifth successive triumph, which
would mark their longest victory
string Of the season, all Of which
might make it discreet to submit
Manager Ossie Bluege's patched
team to a saliva test.
Outfielder Bob johnson, the team

from the Mats last three games
and Trainer Mike Martin doesn't ex-
pect him to be able to play tonight

without its most potent punch
Washington has been winning, hap
PLY, with the aid OF some little but
mighty men.
1t was 5-foot 10-inch Rae Scar
borough who checked the Red Sox
with eight hits the other day and
last night 5-foot 8-inch Ellis Clary
and 5-foot 6-inch Mickey Haefner
chiefly were responsible for Wash
mgton's 6-5 win over the Tigers, a
victory that moved the Mats within
~ games of the league-leading
Yankees.
Haefner limited the Tigers to two
hits and no runs In the six innings

sparkling on his part. He's been
one of the Mats more valuable chat
tells in the past month. Confined
strictly to relief roles since being
belted from the mound in a start
on June 20 against the Yankees,
Mickey has been marvellous. 50
He has pitched nine times in relief
since the Yankees gave him a going
over and in that span he has per-
mitted only Is hits in 1924 innings.
He has allowed only three runs over
that stretch and only two of them
were earned.
Little Mickey stepped into last
nights engagement at time when
the score was SO against the Mats.
He proceeded to hold the Tigers
while the Mats pecked away at that
lead, but entering the last half of
the ninth Washington still was trail
ing, 5-3.
Alex Kampouris gave the l2,107
fans ray of hope when he beat out

walk, however, and the customers

Into that situation stepped the

prompting the replacement of Harold
NeWhouser with Johnny Corsica.
George Case then dropped a looping
double into short center field and
Early and George Myatt, running

tying and winning runs.
1t was Clary's first appearance
with the Mats since he suffered
sprained ankle at Chicago on June
80.
Against the left-handed New
houser, Bluege yanked Gene Moore
and Sherry Robertson, southpaw
sWingers, but the strategy didn't
perturb the slim Newhouser. He
permitted only four hits in the first
eight innings and the reason Wash
ngton had two of its three runs was
due to an error by Left Fielder Dick
Wakefield.
The Tigers blasted Milo Candini,
who failed for the sixth successive

CHICAGO, July 22.-The big guns
of golf fired their mightiest shots
over the Tam O'Shanter meadows
today to start the $4,000 All-Amer-
lean Open Tournament, ma or event
of the dazzling three-ring golfng
circus which winds up Sunday.
Sixteen of the Nations best
woman players also started on the
first round of 72-hole medal play
tournament. while l6 of the sur
viving male amateurs advanced
through the third and quarter-fnal
rounds. All three tournaments were
carried on simultaneously on the
same course, which probably is a
record for mass fairway production.
A field of 200, professionals and
amateurs, were in the force attack
Ing the All-American Open for the
years richest golf prize. Among
them were such distinguished shoot
ers as Byron Nelson of Toledo, who
has won the two previous Tam

Demaret. Walter Hagen, 35-year-old
Chick Evans, jim Terrier, Lloyd
Mangrum, Chick Harbert and Orval
White of Winston Salem, N. C..
White yesterday turned in a 37-33-

medal prize for the qualifying pros.
Doctor Curtails Whites Golf.
The 35-year-old White, who played
no major golf for four years because
of heart ailment, is allowed to
play only 10 holes a day under
doctors orders.
1t was White who gave Heafner
his start in golf when Heafner was
youngster around the Winston
Salem club at which White was a
professional.
One shot behind White came
Johnny Palmer, 25-year old pro
from Badin, NJ c., and Johnny

one of the longest hitters in the
field.

triumph again in Furnishing To-

margin. The field includes at least
a dozen other professionals who may
give Lord Byron serious trouble be-
fore completion of the four 1S-hole
rounds.
Two years ago Nelson shot the u
holes in 278, 2 under par, to cop the
$4,000 first prize. A year ago he got
around in $50, including one course

Newark's experiment of playing
a morning game in the Interna-
tional League apparently was a sue
cess yesterday. In any event the
management announced that an
other $50 am. tilt for the grave

Buffalo.
The game attracted 910 cash Gus
toners who watched the Bears beat
Jersey City, to 4, behind the eight
hit pitching of Frank Hitler, former
Lafayette College star.
Bill Trotter came up with a four
hit pitching masterpiece to lead
Rochester to 1-to-0 shutout over
Buffalo in the only other league
game scheduled. Trotter retired Is

got on in the sixth through an error.

of chance"
Several weeks ago, when the Mats
embarked on a Western trip, Adkins
supposedly was traded to Atlanta for
Pitcher Curtis. He returned from
Chicago to Washington, but, mean
while, Atlanta baked on sending
Curtis to the Mats SO Adkins re-
turned to the Mats at Detroit.
Curtis was purchased by Grifith
several days ago, apparently on the
condition that the Mats also would
ship Atlanta suitable pitcher.
Adkins refusal to report may toss
another wrench into Atlanta nego-
tiations.

Yunks Show Them How

Later last year Washington went
TO Yankee Stadium and the Yanks
showed the Washington bosses how
to put on show. They imported
Walter johnson to pitch to Babe
Ruth, even made it more authentic
by importing Billy Evans as the
umpire. They moved up another
game to make double-header with
Washington, they displayed George
Cases speed in 60-yard dash with
three other players and they held
fungo hitting, throwing and Aus
tralian pursuit racing contests.
The customers at Yankee Stadium
there were 1856 of them and they

Gated the right field stands with

more than their moneys worth and
it might have cost the Yankees a
bit to stage the event, but their show
outdrew Washington's by nearly
$4,000 fans. 1t was worth a little
trouble.
When the White Sox staged a
similar show at Chicago on June 80
the Mats were there. A combined
team of Mats and White Sox battled
the crack Great Lakes Naval Train
Ing Station nine. Marine 1t. Ted

1t may be too late now to do much
about it, but there still are meth
DDS of getting fans there-maybe
enough to pack the place. What
would be wrong, for instance, with
contracting some of baseballs old
timers to see If they'd climb into

Mats and White Sox for three in
nings?
Have the Mats and White Sox bat
left-handed If they swing right
handed and right-handed If they
customarily bat left-handed. just to
make a contest of it, perhaps give
the fans laugh and not embarrasS
the retired players.
Ask Walter johnson to pitch one
inning. Nick Altrock, who pitched
for the Hitless Wonders, could pitch
another and Doc White, also star
pitcher with the .Hitless Wonders,
could hurl the third. Get Sam Rice
