BY LEO H. PETESON United Press Sports Editor)


 New York, April 20-(UP) - It looked like an ordinary grormder. The kind that the boys in the dug out say has a double play written all over it.
 But this one was different. It hit 8 pebble and bounded over the head of waiting third baseman and it meant World Series vic- tory to one of the greatest pitchers who ever logged them down from 8 Major League mound = W.lter (Big Train) Johnson.
 It sure was a tough break for the Giants," Johnson said after that game in 1924 which brought his Washington Senators a world championship. It was at that: but to a lot of folks-old timers as oase- ball goes with the years-it seem- ed that 1t was about time that the baseball fateS gave a green light to the Big Train"
 It came in the seventh and de- ciding game of that series between the late John J. McGraw's Giants and the Senators. Johnson had come in the ninth inning with the score tied at 3-all and the teams also even at 3-all in the champion ship series. It was the 18th inning that fate stepped in. Muddy Ruel had singled and went to second wllen JohnSons ground ball was fumbled. That brought up Earl McNeely and he hit what looked like 8 sure double-play ground hall to Freddy Lindstrom, the Giant third baseman. But as Lindstrom was all set to field the ball, 1t hit a pebble and bounced over his head, Ruel racing horu with the V4nning score.
 Time, and the years of modern hAsebAll, have dimmed the luster of that day, but 1t never will take o14 all the polish.
 For when they walk out to the flagpole at Griffith Stadium today to pay tribute to the late President Roosevelt, lot of folks are going to recognize Walter Johnson among the marchers. Marching across the field that brought him almost all the fame that 8 baseball dia- mond can bring to man.
 But he will be only 8 Maryland farmer today, assisting in the flag raising ceremonies. His sturdy right arm is for the blow now-the speed had left 1t even before he made one of his final bows in another thrilling world series victory over Pittsburgh in 1927. That was the series in which he lost the two games he started but came back in the final game as a re- lief hurler and won out.
 He was a big-tine pitcf with small-time club. For in all his years in baseball, Johnson usually had team behind him that never deserved being ranked among the Major League clubs. Yet he won A games while losing 276 for a per- centage of 600, A .107 per cent better mark than the Senators had as a team over that span of years.
 But 1t was the game that counted with Johnson and that's why he's in the baseball hall of fame shrine at Cooperstown, N. r., today. And If 1t hadn't been for travelling salesman he may never have had the chance to become one of the games all-time immortals.
 It was back in 1907 that the tgaveling salesman watched a sand lot game in Weise Idaho and saw Johnson logging his fast ball across the plats with the Spaed of . bullet.

Red Cross Girls
Boost GI Morale,
Yorker ASSERTS
By Catherine X. Hamblev

How Red Cross girls serve as
"wailing walls" for GIs in Europe
was told by Miss Mary Alice Sturde-
want, 26-year-old daughter of 1t.
Col, U. S. M. c., and Mrs. Edward
Sturdevant, In a recent interview at
her Georgetown home.
She returned during the past
month from England and France,
where she served as q Red Cross
clubmobile worker.
"The GIs gripe among themselves,
but 1t takes the presence OF a wom-
an to let them get things entirely
of their chests. In fact, we acted
as wailing walls" Mary Alice ex-
planned.
First, they bring out the family
pictures" she continued Then
they talk about plans for the future.
Most are pretty vague about plans,
but those who had jobs in civilian
life generally want them back. They
all agree that first they want year
of to eat, sleep and have good
time. The special girl back home
gets more beautiful every day and
when they are especially blue the
favorite remark Is. Well, some IF
probably has my girl, anyway"
Music is another important factor
in bolstering CT morale, Mary Alice
asserted. The girls found that a
Victrola with a loud speaker did in
valuable service. She recalled one
time when two of her troupe played
and sang for a replacement bat
talon. After the performance, Mary
Alice heard GI say to another,
That was like being home for
awhile!"
The clubmobile with its coffee and
doughnut making facilities is real
boon in the wilderness of the GIs
daily lives, the speaker declared.
When it pulls up with the rest Of
the convoy, including supply trucks,
q cinemobile with good movies and
a crew of 80 persons, the GIs crowd
around and exclaim, whats this?
We thought we were the forgotten
men!"
This latter fact is sadly true,
Mary Alice nodded, principally be-
cause the mails are slow, there is
nothing to read and the men have
feeling of being OF in another world.
Though she emphasized the i'm
portance of contributions being
made by feminine energy and un-
selfshness in the European theater,
the Red Cross girl minimized any
illusion that being Red Cross
worker overseas is a glamorous task.
You'll certainly get the corners
rubbed Of if you try it'll" she mused.
after the experience I've had you
are much closer to humanity and

The Society for the Prevention
Of Women From Smoking" would
certainly be delighted. were it in
existence today, with the current
cigarette shortage, If one may Judge

how an actress at the turn OF the
century had been committed to an
insane asylum for daring to 'pun
the weed" in . hotel lobby and of
efforts by the society to honor the
late Czarina for prohibiting smoking
by the ladies Of her court. The
daring girls who wished to smoke In
those days, the speaker continued,
would exchange smoke -dispelling
lamps as gifts at Christina slime.
Mrs. Gasch compared those events
with the present situation in re-
gard to feminine smoking today.
She told how she recently made
inquiries of an authority who i'm
pertinently replied, "I can safely
say the ladies are holding their
own. The number Of cigarettes they
consume is about double what they
smoked 80 years ago."
Miss Betty Gwyer, president OF
the Women's Ad Club, was present
as the guest of Mrs. Elinor Lee. Mrs.
Aubrey Graves came with Mrs. Jean
Ambrose, columnist, who introduced
