And speaking of bay region sports
writer's, a gcodly more than so per
cent have the San Francisco Seals
consigned to a spot in the Pacific
Coast league standings that defl-
nitely will have nothing to do with
wearing the 1914 league crown.
Elmer Ray, the Florida Negro

scoring 10 straight knockouts fight
ing around CALIFORNIA; southland in
the past year, must be serious about
championship aspirations. In Scor-
ing his 18th kayo in a row in Chi

in at only 204 pounds-compared
with 215-plus for some OF his
coastal encounters.

St. Louis Eyes
Two Pennants
BY CARL LUNDQUIST

NEW YORK, July "a. CUP)-Un-
less some team in the American
league strikes a consistent winning
stride soon, the $3.50 pace of the
st. Louis Browns may be sufficient
to capture the pennant at the
cheapest price in the circuits his
tory, it became apparent Monday.
At the same time, the ST. Louis
Cardinals, playing at their present
hot pace, can take the National
league flag with the latest per-
centage Of any club since the Pitts
burgh Pirates of 1909, all of which
may make for a world series with
the shortest priced favorite of all
time.

finding tough shedding against some
good pitching. Bill Werle tossed
seven-hitter to win the first, and
then Ray Harrell came through
with a two-bloW effort in nine in
ningS in the second for a 80 white
washing. The game went two extra
frames, with the Seals pushing
across three runs on Jumbo Elliott
in the ninth for the victory. The
Seals won six out CT eight games.
ACE POUNDED
At Los Angeles the Angels pound
ed Rex Cecil, the leagues leading
pitcher, out of the bCX for the first
time this year. Cecil was cunning
for his 18th win of the campaign,
but was removed in the fourth after
the Angels had scored six runs. The
heart again lose a heart-breaker,
as Ray Prim knuckled down in the
pincheS to win on eight hits in
seven stanzas. Ed Sauer, Angel out
fielder, provided a highlight by
singing in the seventh, then steal
ing second, third and home.
Roy Helser tossed a five-hitter
fer Portland in the nightcap for his
shutOut victory after the Stars had
pounded Pieretti for u safe blows to
take the opener. Three home runs,
one each by Butch Moran, Brooks
Holder and Frank Kelleher, pro-
vided the margin of victory. The Sc
ries went to the Sars, 4-3.

Even more important, however. is
the fact that Nicholson always hits
best in the seasons second half.
This was particularly true during
the 40 and AZ campaigns when, as
the big fellow explains, because of
spring training in the north, it
seemed to take me longer than
usual to get thawed out" The Cubs

certainly ogled the onion in Sun
days twin bill. He Walloped three
round trippers in the opener, the
first major Lacquer to turn the trick
in enc game this season. These,
combined with the one he slugged
the last time at bat on Saturday,
equaled the major league mark for
consecutive home runs. In addition,
homer in yesterdays nightcap

Obtained by Police

Two nattily dressed youths
each brandishing a pistol, held
up three employees of the La
fayette Hotel, Sixteenth and ]
streets NV, at $40 am. today
and escaped with $3.50 in cash
One man wore what was de-
scribed as rose-colored glasses
and the other had on smoked
glasses.
The two holdup men entered the
front door of the hotel and while
one covered William Harmon, room
clerk, of 3817 South Sixteenth street
Arlington, the other made his way
through the cocktail lounge into a
telephone room where Sam Freud
berg of 1888 Spring road NV, the
night auditor, and Joseph Weigand
12l7 I street NV, were sitting.
The man who covered Mr.. Freud
berg and Mr.. Weigand ordered both
into the lounge and told them to lie
down on bench. Mr.. Freudbere
obeyed but Mr.. Weigand became
excited and started to run. The
holdup man threatened him and he
halted.
BY this time his accomplice had
helped himself to the cash while
forcing Mr.. Harmon to remain al
the desk with his hands in the air
Good descriptions of the pair were
obtained by police. The hotel en-
ployes said the bandits ran outside
after the cash had been taken but
they were unable to say whether
they had a waiting automobile.

Georgetown Hospital
Male Volunteer Aides
Are Too Busy 10 Talk
Nurses and Patients
Praise Work of
First 36 Enlisted

The newly lnaugurated male vol
unteer hospital aides at Georgetown
University Hospital are too publicity
shy and too conscientious about
their work to take much time out in
talking about it.
But here's their story, picked ur
from the nurses, the patients and
from three of the volunteers them
selves when they could be stopped
a few minutes last night as they
hustled through the hospital cor
ridors.
The 36 aides already enlisted at
Georgetown-the first local hospital
to adopt this service to help meet
the manpower shortage-include an
investment banker two insurance
men, hospital supply house repre-
sentative, a Swedish masseur and a
number of men from various Gov
ernment agencies.
Nothing Dramatic"
"Our first job when we come on
at night usually is to see that the
patients have plenty of ice," said
one of the aides who puts in long
day arranging shipments of lease
lend petroleum products before he
goes on duty. From then on, we're
at the beck and call of the nurses.
There's nothing dramatic about
any CT it." he added. But when
there are just few of us here at
time you can see the need"
A member of the nursing staff
added to the story:
I've seen them mop f1oors," she
said. Some have learned to help
straighten the beds. They bring up
ice from the basement for all the
foors-a tremendous help. They
clean the hypodermic trays When
visitors bring in ice cream for the
patients. they get dishes to serve
them. And, of course, they do all
sorts of personal things for the men.
Conscientious Workers.
They are very Conscientious she
emphasized. They never linger to
chat as they ask questions. Once
they get their answer, away
The men in the wards beamed at
the innovation. I'VE like them"
patient commented They are so
accommodating. The other night
one went out and got cigarettes and
ice cream for several of us"
A young man who expects to leave
the hospital IN about week is so
impressed by their work he plans to
enroll as an aide as soon as he's on
his feet again.
