The Mats, who once played pro-
fessional baseball here, will at
tempt to revive the sport tonight
at Griffith Stadium. A week-long
downpour is supposed to flzzle out
with drizzle today and enable
Clark Grifhth's employees to get
some exercise against the Chicago
White Sox.
Rained out six straight days,
the Mats have the weatherman's S
word that they'll be able to pur-
sue their livelihood tonight.
They'll have the opportunity to
end a 1852 hex in the process,
for they'll be confronted by Billy
Pierce, a left-hander. The team
has faced four left-handers this
year and hasn't won yet, getting
all four victories at the expense
of right-handers.
Nestled in the first division in
spite of. or perhaps due to, their
recent inactivity, the Mats will at
tempt to preserve that status by
sending Bob Porterfleld to the
mound. When last seen in action
Ito days ago, Porterfield achieved

Mats Hoping to Play White Sox Tonight;
Must Beat Pierce to End Southpuw Hex

The White Sox are dreaming of
a duplication of their first Eastern
excursion last season, when they
swept II games and became the
glamor boys of baseball. But two
of the more prominent figures in
that uprising, Minnie Minoso and
Jim Busby, are batting only .233
and .148, respectively.
Manager Paul Richards antici-
Ipates improvement from that pair
and, meanwhile, Washington
CASTOR, 35-year-old Eddie Stewart,
is taking up much of the slack.
The hustling outf1elder is batting
1854 and over the week end, in a
Ithree-game set with the Browns,
he banged out a home run, two
doubles and three singles.
Here for two night games, the
White Sox have only a 4-6 record
but not included are a pair o1
potential victories over st. Louis
in suspended games. The White
Sox led, 1912. after seven inning!
of one game and 81 after five
innings of the other. Those game:

didn't make the race any soft
touch for Hill Gail, however, for
there are at least three good ones.
There is, for instance, Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt's Cousin, as
contrary horse as ever came
down the pike. If the son of the
French stallion, Priam II, chooses
to run he could kick the dust in
the faces of most of his rivals and
do the same again Saturday. But
not even as astute a horseman as
his trainer, Bill Winfrey, can say
whether the Maryland-oWned colt
will choose to run.
Arroz Also Entered.
And then there's Mrs. Gordon
Guiberson's Arroz of Sacramento,
Calf, good enough to finish third
back of Hill Gail and Windy City
II in the Santa Anita Derby.
Trainer Wally Dunn wants to
know more about his early speed.
Another well-liked colt is Sub
Fleet from Charles T. Fishers
DiXiana Farm.
The others, like Gift Silver, ap-

Dobson, subjected to a salary

Unlike Hill Gail, this little Iowa

'SchooImorm' Hopes to Teach
Olympic Kayak Rivals a Lesson

and has never been beaten in a
Women's race.
After meeting members of the
Washington Canoe Club, Ruth
became sold on the advantages
of training on the Potomac. She
worked as a lifeguard at Rosedale
Pool last summer while padding
her kayak regularly and in Febru-
ary went back to school teaching
and bearing down for the Olympic
trials.
Not eligible to join the all-male
Canoe Club, Ruth has been
adopted" by the organization. In
fact, she helped the Washington
Club to second place in a four
man race at the National canoe
championships in Boston last
summer and caused the American
Canoe Association to write a new
rule into its books.
Ruth went to Boston hoping
there would be a women's event
she could enter. Finding there
wasn't. she resigned herself to a
spectators role.
The Washington Club already
had an entry ready for the four
man team race but three other
members decided they would like
to compete. They didn't have a
fourth and asked Ruth to fill the
empty spot in the canoe. She did
this so adequately that her team
finished second in the eight-boat
race and left the first-string
Washington canoe in it's wake.
Association Bars Women.
Probably because of the all-male
entries chagrin, the American
Canoe Association passed a ruling
shortly afterwards that women
could not enter the mems events
Miss DeForrest's training rou-
tine would be too much for the
average male. Weather permit
ting, she works out three to four
hours after school each weekday
all day on Saturdays and Sun
days-and usually includes a six
mile race in the program. Back
home at 2510 @ street NV, by
8 she goes to sleep at 10 and gets
up at 6 to start her day.

will be well worth it if she wins

Mrs. Marion du Pont Scott. owner

worlds pinnacles if her colt
should win the Churchill Downs
classic Saturday.

they don't impede his vision.
The groom said the warts would
