Ace Swimmers 10 Duel
In D. T.. AAU Events
AT 1akoma Tonight

Jean Ort's lO0-yard free-style
duel with Leola Thomas and Ernie
Boggs' 150-yard backstroke race
against John Dilley will high light
tonight's swimming program at Ia
koma pool in the concluding events
of the two-day District AAU cham
pionships. The first event is sched-
uled at 8 pm.
If VI day is declared before
pm. today the meet will be post
poned until tomorrow night at the
same time.
A total of seven girls will seek
the century free-style crown, and
with Sally De Groot, Betty Roland
and Audrey Engleman entered
there is plenty of room for an
upset, but on paper it adds up to
test between Miss Ort and Miss
Thomas. The former defeated her
rival by two-tenths of a second in the
A. Earle Weeks Memorial meet and
will have to show her best to re-
peat.
Boggs. upset winner over Ensign
Brock Mott in the Weeks meet,
broke even in his first two tests
against Dilley, winning an open
race and losing in a closed affair,
but tonight he expects to be first
home. Boggs, apparently in better
physical condition than at any time
since he hung up a l:4S record
for the race in 1898, was only two
tenths of second off that figure in
the Weeks meet. and If close to that
form tonight will be hard to beat.
Capt. Jim Reilly, 28-year- -old Army
flyer and veteran of the Pacific
fighting, upset the dope and De-
Tending Champion Irving Bridges
in capturing the lowboard diving
crown in yesterdays opening event.
Bridges. however. came back to win
the highboard diadem, succeeding
Army Capt. John Broaddus, who did
not compete.
Reilly clinched his title on the
final optional dive, piling up total
of 67.73 points to Bridges 65.77,
but the latter won the highboard
event with plenty to spare. Youth
full Gilbert Buckingham of Takoma
who was expected to make strong
bid for the laurels, couldn't match
his more experienced opponents
skill and bowed by a 1927 to 67.33
margin.
Jackie Richards, lowboard title
holder, had to be satisfied with
highboard honors when the first
was passed because none of the girls
could spring the board. This was a
keenly contested affair, too, with
Miss Richards amassing SO 30 points
to edge out WAVE Sue Mitchell
who scored 54.69. Results:

Tomorrows Star Cup tournament
at the Army Navy Country Club

taking time off to celebrate. Mrs.

Association president, said today
the tournament will go on, regard
less of what happens in the jap
anese situation. She asks that en-
trants bring their own caddies, if
possible, and reminds class B play

will be played August "a at Army

classes are to be presented by The

An 80 over a par SO course, with
only three pars. 1t sounds impos-
sible, but it happened. Bob Phil
lipson, crack Woodmont amateur,
didn't do too we'll in the par depart
ment, but he did okay elsewhere
to take down the top prize in a
sweepstakes tourney. He got his
three pars on the first nine, where
he bagged 81, with the aid of three
brides. And he played the last nine
in 43, one over par on each hole
1t was one of those freak rounds
something like the par 36 scored by
Archie Clark on Congressionals last
nine a few years ago. Archie had
one par, but he bagged six brides
and took 9 on the par three 10th
hole, where he put couple out OF
bounds.
Phillipson's 80-11-69 won the
sweepstakes handicap, with Len

Bengak Up on Gri May Find Hmler Tobin Key to Fae

I ime for Squirt; Mats Divide

Luke Sewel, Browns pilot, was
uncertain today as to his pitching.
But 1t might be the left-handed
AL Hollingsworth and the tough
| Sig Jakucki.
The Mats did not get the first
! game yesterday without a tussle,
although for seven innings it looked
as though they would walk in. They
ran up five runs before the fifth
inning was over and forced Sewell
to call on three pitchers over the
span. But Johnny Niggeling lost
command in the eighth and before
AL Carrasquel could get the third
Brownie out. the Mats lead was
cut to one run.
Griffs Thump Rookie.
The Mats picked up four more
runs in the ninth off Dee Sanders,
hurler just out of the Coast Guard,
then got their 18th hit of the game
off Sam Zoldak before finishing
their final turn. When the Browns
came up in the ninth, Vern Steph-
ems tripled off Carrasquel, SO Santi-
ago Ullrich was rushed in to finish
the affair and did so splendidly.
1t was Tex Shirley who took the
beating Doubles by Kreevich, Lewis
and Kuhel and Gifts single got
three runs in the third inning.
Myatt opened the fifth with a single,
then Kuhel got his first home run
of the year, SKINNED off the right
field stand roof. That brought on
Weldon West, who walked two then
gave way to Earl Jones, another
left-hander.
Jones went out in the eighth for
a pinch-batter, which put it up to
Sanders A walk with two hits and
squeeze play with Torres bunting
meant two runs before Zoldak took
over. Carrasquel walked, then
Kreevich doubled across the last
two scores. The second game might
have resulted differently had not
Iron Mike Kreevich been forced
out in the second inning by a leg
muscle cramp. Mike had reeled of
two singles and two doubles in the
first game and in the second had
carried over run in the first in
ming and singled in the second. The
cramp came as he ran out his fifth
hit of the day, so Joe Zardon was
sent to center field, but temporarily.
Zardon Has Bad Day.
Marino Pieretti had begun his
pitching as though headed for
fine afternoon, but Zardon jammed
the works for him in the third in
ming and the Browns got three
runs. Bob Muncrief who did the
Browns hurting and allowed the
Mats only five hits, opened the third
with a hoist to center that should
have been an easy out. But Zardon
misjudged and the ball went over
his head for a double. Pieretti
struck out Gutteridge and Gray.
! then in trying to work on the dam
gerous Byrnes, walked him. Here
Finney lined to center and again
a third loomed out. Zardon again
misjudged, started in too late, and
the ball caromed off his foot for q
single, scoring Muncrief with the
tying run and putting Byrnes on
third. Then-bang, bang! Singles
by Stephens and Moore, and the
Browns we're two ahead.
After that Zardon was shifted
to left field, with George Binks TAX
ing over in center. But the way
Muncrief pitched it was too late.
And Pieretti faltered later to give
the Browns another tally,

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13.-Os Bluege
has his idea of how a baseball
championship contender should
conduct its campaign. THE thing
to do is keep the pressure on the
club in 'front.'" he maintained on
the eve of the Mats five-game series
with the st. Louis Browns. with
more than so games to 60, we don't
have to drive to the front right
now, then fight off the others.
And the Washington manager
added that "the thing the Mats want
to do is string along close to the
Tigers, then take up the slack when
the field hits the stretch"
Well, the Mats have gone along
with their managers idea pretty
good since they spurted to a con-
tending position early in July Every
time they had an opportunity to
close the gap between themselves
and the league-leading Detroit
outfit, they dutifully spurned it to
remain in second place.
But yesterday as they opened
their final series here with the
Browns this year, they went lit
tie too far with their restraint. All
they did was split the Sunday
double-bill with the Browns, while
up in Detroit the Tigers were
humping the New York Yankees
twice. The Mats won the first game
9-5, handsomely, then took a Al
beating.
Now Two Games Behind.
All of which dropped the Mats
two full games off the pace and left
the pressure on them in the twi-
light-night twin card tonight and
the single engagement tomorrow
afternoon that run out the St. Louis
series.
Unless they brace in these three
games, the Mats will find themselves
SO far back there will be no chance
to recover much ground in the all
important four game series with
the leaders that opens in Detroit
Wednesday.
For tonlghts bargain bill, Man.
ager Bluege will do more expert
menting on the pitching hill. After
throwing Mickey Haefner at the
Browns in one of the games, Os
will shoot with Wally Holborow
in the other. Pitching Holborow
might not appear an experiment in
view of that tWo-hit shutout he
tossed at Boston's Red Sox in
Washington recently. But since
Wally has looked none too good
in relief.
