To Investigate; Drop in
Traffic Cited by Miller

Declaring I'VE men have made a
horrible mess Of the world" William
Clark Taylor, president of the Du-
pont Circle Citizens Association,
told the group yesterday afternoon
at the conclusion OF An education
system discussion. that 1.-The only
salvation is to turn the administra-
ton OF the world to the women"
With education preparing stu
dents in high schools for college,
Mr.. Taylor stated that "only l
per cent have the opportunity and
money" to further their education.
The others, he added, who do not

low a career or 60 into any work
which requires skill.

tenn now employed by Washington
schools and report their findings to
the group at its next meeting.
Inspector Arthur Miller of the
Metropolitan Police traffic division
told the association that the "gas
and tire rationing was a blessing
IN disguise" to Washington traffic.
Since the rationing and pleasure
driving ban was begun, District traf-
flc has dropped 80 to IS per cent,
and fatalities also have dropped.
He urged motorists to wait for
the streetcars to pass before max
ing left-hand turn and told pedes-

make room for others and help
streetcar and bus motorists con-
form to the PUG white line regu-
lation.

Instruction Didn't Hep

Chase represents one of Griffth'S
more distinct diSappointments. In
the autumn of 1887, Griffith i'm
ported Chase to the Mats and saw
him win four games impressively
Winner Of three of four starts that
fall, too, was Joe KrakauskaS, also
a wild unpredictable southpaw.
Griffith rushed to the dictionary
to discover adjectives descriptive
enough to cover the deeds of his
left-handers. Seemingly he had
come up with a brace of sparkling
specimens, but Griffith was doomed
to bitter disappointment.
The following season, when neither
Chase nor KrakauSkaS fulfilled eX-
peCtatlonS. Griffith wasn't detected
1T always takes a little time for
these southpaWS to get control" :"
he'd say, then cite Lefty Grove as
an example. 1t was in 1888 when
Chase and KrakauskaS became hu-
man test tubes Everybody who
ever had thrown a ball left-handed
and a lot who hadn't suddenly be-
came willing to offer both more
advice than they could absorb
Griffith, Manager Bucky Harris,
Coach Nick Altrock and numerous
others tampered with Chase and
Krakky and the more advice they
took, the wilder and more confused
they became. Apparently they cid
not have the mentality to solve
their own difficulties, so they became
prey for every pitching tip in the
books.

Chase FinuiIy Traded

So the Mats let him go to Cleve-
land and Cleveland, after a brief
glimpse, Shunted him to Syracuse.
He bounced back and Forth between
the International League and Cleve-
land before joining the Canadian
Army but when ne left 10 join up
you couldn't help think that if you
had TO select somebody in the world
to throw a hand grenade at you,
the choice would be KrakauskaS.
At 10 PAGES he couldn't hit the
Pentagon Building with a handful
of buckshOt.
Chase fingered a little longer,
principally because he always was
better prospect Occasionally he'd
produce a fine piece of pitching and
invariably against Cleveland, but
he'd follow it up with a string Of
sour hurting. After five years of it,
Griffith sent him to the Red SoX
with Outfielder Johnny Welai for
Pitcher Jack Wilson and Outfelder
Stan Spence, and he has had no
occasion to regret the deal
Ken authorized his exit from the
league 10 days ago against the Mats
at Boston, when he achieved the
unenviable distinction Of walking II
men in less than four innings. In
his first start for the Giants. he was
travelling along nicely for five in
nings and then, blooey. He hasn't
changed
Chase Will be 50 IN a few months
and he's farther than ever from
fulfilling that promise he displayed
in September, 1887. It's too bad
because he's a sincere. sober soul
who always can be relied on for
honest effort but those SoX box
scores still are reading, losing

BY JUDSON BAILEY.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


The New York Giants not only
haven't had much luck on the play
ing field this season, they haven't
had anything resembling a good
break in their trades.
Early in the spring they obtained
Ernie Lombardi, the National League
batting champion. by giving up
rookie catcher and Infielder Connie
Ryan. it will be remembered. Lom-
bardi has been just ordinary for the
Giants while Ryan has spanked for
the Braves, and, on the day after
the deal was made. hit home run
that beat New York.
More recently the Giants gave
Herbert Babe Barna, a sometime
slugging outfielder. to the Boston
Red SoX for Lefty Kendall Chase, a
pitcher with considerable American
League experience.
Barna. who had been lack
luStre performer for the Giants,
entered the Red SoX lineup imme-
diately and began clouting extra
base hits. His blows have been di-
rectly responsible for at least two
Boston triumphs within a week.
Chase Cracks in Seventh.
The Giants were criticized for
taking Chase, who, on the day be-
fore the deal was made, walked II
men in four innings and who had
not won game this season. But
they bided their time and waited for
the proper spot to unvell a SOUTH
paw.
This occasion came yesterday in
a twilight game against the Brook
lyn Dodgers and for a while it
seemed Manager Mel OFT was about
to win an honorable mention for
master -minding.
For five inings he shut out the
Dodgers with one hit while his team
mates gave him a 10 advantage
over Bobo Newsom. But in the
sixth the Dodgers tied the score and
in the seventh they chased Chase
with six runs on five hits and cap
tured II decision.
The game had to be called at the
end of the eighth because of dark
ness and the feeble light in the
seventh may have helped the
Dodgers rally, but in any case Chase
still hasn't won a ball game this
year and the Giants haven't had
much luck either on the field or in
the market.

Johnson Big Factor
In Keeping Griffs
In Second Place
Shining in All Phases
Save Distance Hitting;
Wynn Facing Yonks

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
NEW YORK. June 22.-Burly Bob
Johnson. who blasted 252 home runs
for the Athletics over a span of 10
years, still hasn't SWatted his initial
homer as a member OF the Mats, but
nobody is accusing the husky out
fielder of failing with Washington
He remains one OF the reasons the
Mats are nestled in second place
stamped as a surprise team Of the
season.
Bob's behavior is having an in
spring effect on the young blood of
the Mats He was off to a woeful
batting start and still hasn't sup
piled the long-range power antici-
pated of him, but the 35-year-old
Outfelder never has ceased supply
ing 100 per cent effort and recently
his determined plodding has paid off.
Errorless in Outfield.
Six games ago, Bob struck out
four consecutive times in Washing
ton. On his first trip TO the plate
the following day, he also struck
out and next time up he drilled into
a force play. Since then. though, ne
has collected II hits in 81 attempts
for a .579 average, and included
among his blows have been three
doubles and a triple.
Bob is topping the Mats runs
ba,ted-in department with "a, but
his fielding has been more laudable
than his hitting. He hasn't made
an error this season and he brought
the most respected throwing arm to
the Mats that Washington has owned
since Goose Goslin was in his prime.
Last season Bob stole only three
bases with the Athletics, but this
year he has stolen nine. At bat, in
the outfleld and on the bases. Bob
has been giving his best at all times.
He hasn't spared himself, which is
unusual for an established veteran
Campaigner. and he's one of the big
reasons Washington has won three
OF four games on its current trip.
Wynn Pitches Today
Bob had hit safely in five straight
games as the Mats tackled the Yam
KEGS in a single game here today
and his humping would indicate
warm weather has worked wonders.
He seemingly is getting the range
and may break into a sudden rash
Of distance Clouts.
Early Wynn was to face the
Yankees in today's single engage
ment, with Milo Candiri slated to
pursue a seventh successive victory
against no defeats here tomorrow
in a double-header with the Yam
KEGS.
The Yankees represent the chief
cause for Washington trailing them
by three games, incidentally, for in
a dozen games with New York, the
Mats have captured only four deci-

way on the mound and when that
didn't produce gratifying results, he
was instructed to stand that way
instead, Regardless of how he stood
or how he gripped the ball, however,
Joe couldn't tell whether he was
going to plunk the ball in the
catcher's mitt or throw it over the
grandstand.
Finally, in the midst Of a miser-
able streak, Joe popped off. He
said he wished people would have
let him alone IN the first place
that ne was so befuddled as the
result Of all the advice that he was
a worse pitcher than when he
started He said, too, that he didn't
care if he never pitched for Wash
ington again.
