coded the Washington golfers to
the spot.
Their interest perked up. however,
when several hours later some one
called attention to the fact that
the fellow still was practicing. It
was the same thing the next day:
morning practice, an afternoon
round and evening practice. The
fellow stayed there monotonously
pounding hundreds of golf balls to
waiting caddy, who recovered the
balls in a. remarkably small area.
Reigel, at that time, was making few
mistakes.
Riegel was not eligible for the
tournament but spent far more time
on the course than any of the

It seemed that in 1898 Riegel had

Kramer Begins Study
Of Pro Offers After
u. ). Title Victory
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Having
escaped the lightning twice within
two days, young Jack Kramer of
Los Angeles has nothing more to
worry about today except which to
choose of several rival tennis pro-
moters who have been bidding for
his professional services.
Big Jake finished cleaning up his
amateur business yesterday when
he survived two very poor opening
sets and came on to beat the vet
eran frankie Parker in the final
of the National championships at

He will play as an amateur in the

Los Angeles starting September Is,
but that one really doesn't count.
He had won the two big titles,
Wimbledon and the American, to
establish himself firmly at the top
Of the amteur heap, and from here
on the promoters can bid high.
After finishing off Parker. the
champ said last night he was torn
between several offers for his serv-
ices on a, world tour. Some one
connected with Bing Crosby is re-
ported to- have guaranteed" Kra-
mer 100000 earnings within a
year, Jack Harris of Chicago is
believed to have the inside track,
though. and it Is about an even bet
that Kramer and Professional
Champion Bobby Riggs will start
beating the bushes under his
auspices around January /.
Cross Country Tour.
Between now and the start of
the Pacific Southwest. Kramer and
Dinny Pals, the Australian Davis
Cupper. will blaze trail of exhi-
bition matches across the continent.

Rufhsfrom Fine Fails
To RuffIe Redskins
As Bear Tilt Nears


CHICAGO, Sept. Is. Put down
Ralph Ruthstrom's $500 fine by the
Redskins management as another
in a string of events that help make
the Tribes visit here memorable
Aside from creating q slight void
in the players wallet. the incident
stirred up only mild interest on the
club.
Technically, Ruthstrom, who
came to Washington with Tom
Farmer in exchange for Steve
Bagarus, was penalized for jumping
the club. He left the hotel after
President George Marshall told him
to wear q coat going to dinner.
This is q long standing club rule.
While Ruthstrom's action was
drastic, most of the players were
not surprised. Patience has been
worn thin by seven long weeks OF
preseason work and the squad Is In
no loving mood. 1t will be mean
team Coach Turk Edwards sends
against the Bears Wednesday night
at Soldier Field, which may be q
good omen for Washington.
Tension Remains High.
Some of the Skins irritability
stems from memories Of last years
tilt with the Bears here. Motion
pictures of the game clearly show
Tackle Fred Davis, onetime Redskin
giving Jim Youel near-kayo blow
with his elbow on a kickoff. In that
game, too, Jim Gaffney, who has
risen to new prominence with the
Skins, got a black eye under sus-
picious circumstances.
Youel, an even-tempered person
cheerfully would have machine
gunned the entire Bear squad that
day and Gaffney's mood would not
read we'll in print. The tension be-
tween the teams was reflected in the
punch Jack Jacobs tossed at Ec
holman late in the game, which
helped the Bears exc out VIC
tory. But pointing up such Incl
dents is sort of futile, for all Red
skin-Bear meetings generate enough
excitement to bring out the riot
squad.

playoff that Sammy Baugh suf-
fered his most serious football in

Gears rave it to him. But going

rodd's Status Uncertain.
The Edwards clan is looking for

though most OF the players are

acquaintance. This Washington
Chicago rivalry is one Of the fieriest
in the league and the standing OF
Ave victories each and l tie in II

closely the two have been matched
Edwards won't know until to-
morrow how many of his cripples
will be ready for action, but it Il
fairly certain that Bill Ward will
be ready to 60 back into the line anc
that Jim Gillette will be ready fol
backfield duty. Dick Todd's statu:
is uncertain. His injured ankle
seems better, but if he's not fully
recovered he'll be out of the game

Mrs. Clark took the witness stand
yesterday to tell this story of her
runin with Robert F. Hughes, a
neighbor at nearby Watervale:
"He owed me a commission for
selling horse. I drove up to collect.
We got into an argument. He said
he didn't owe me anything, but he
already had given me a savings
bond and promised to exchange. it
for cash.
"He called me a name. jumped
out of the car. He stiffened up and
made move toward me. I hauled
off and hit him, and I really hit him.
He ran off yelling: you hit me, you
hit me- I yelled at him: come
back and fight like a man."
Mrs. Clark came into court with
a bandaged face cut. Mr.. Hughes
testified he did not remember hit
ting her with bucket.
