22 SPORTS. THE EVE ING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1929. Mackmen Pick on Washington and Boston in Amassing Big Lead for Pennant I'S HAVE WON 30 GAMESFROM THEN Pirates and Cubs Feast on Cardinals and Dodgers in Older Loop. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. T is a peculiar facy that some big league clubs appear to have the Indian sign on others. This fre- quently happens with a_pitcher. The old Chicago Cubs kept one moundsman largely because he could beat the Giants. He couldn’t do much against other clubs in the National League, but he was poison to the Mc- Graw men. There were scasons when it used to be said that all the Giants had to do to beat Cincinnati was to put a photo- graph of Mathewson on the mound. | St. Louis had a fair twirler who was a great pitcher against Babe Ruth. The Babe could slam better St. Louis pitch- ers all over the lot. but he couldn’t hit | the offerings of that particular slab artist with a board. Nats Easy for A's. | But there do not appear to be any pitchers on certain clubs which can beat certain other teams. The Ath- letics have won 16 games from Wash- | ington this season and 14 from Boston. The Yankees have won 14 games from ‘Boston and 10 from Chicago. St. Louis has won 15 games from Chicago. In the National League, Pitisburgh hes won most consistently from St. Louis and Brooklyn. Chicago has fat- tened its average at the expense of | the same two clubs. New York has| won 13 games from Philadelphia, | while the Phillies might be champlons | if they could spend the season playing | Boston. New York has found Brook- | Iyn the hardest team to beat. Cin-| cinnati has won as many games from | Pittsburgh as it has from Boston. | So it goes. Clubs which are pie to| one opponent are prussic acid to m-\ other. There scems to be no real rea- | son why, Perhaps psychology has| something to do with it. 1t is the same in almost every sport. | There are adversarles against whom | you simply cannot play your best game. | You may beat better opponents, blltf you cannot beat some particular one.l | Likely to Dodge Loughran. There will be a Schmeling-Sharkey | fight somewhere in September. Then what? No matter which one wins, he will not look with favor upon a bout | with Tommy Loughran. Tommy Knows | too much. He is too tough. But either | would welcome a bout with Jack Dempsey. | Tt isn't because they figure Dempsey any easy picking. Even at the ad-| vanced age of 34 the Manassa Mauler | is no setup. His legs may not be so| good, but he still has those steel fists Jeft, and if you are foolish enough to get’ close to him he may still knock your ears off. No, that isn't the reason. | The reason lies in cold figures. Jack Dempsey drew $1,083.529.70 with Shar- | key, $1,188,602.80 with Firpo, $1.628,238 with Carpenticr, $1,895,733.40 .with | Tunney at Philadelphia and $2.65 25372 with Tunney at Chicago. That, unless my arithmetic fails me, means that he drew the very comfortable sum of $8,454,357.62 in five fights. Any man who has Dempsey for an opponent is sure of a shot at_a share in a very comfortable sum. Dempsey | against Schmeling ‘would draw another million-dollar_gate. Rickard used to say that Dempsey was “the greatest | drawing card in this here world,” and | he didn't overstate it much. Inducement Must Be Heavy. Nothing short of most important | money would get Jack into the ring again, and even that would be sufficient inducement only if he found himself short of cash, or if he could persuade himself that he could regain the title. When Dempsey announced his re- tirement, he meant it. Jack is a shrewd enough fellow to know that he has slowed up a lot. He doesn't kid himself that he is anything like the fighter who took the titie from Willard. He knows that he isn't within 50 per cent of what he was then. But he| might make himself believe that he | was good enough. There are a lot of | men he wouldn't take a chance with— | Loughran among them, I think—but | he always has had the idea that he | could beat Schmeling or Sharkey. And | those around him keep Moreover, once a man has heard the voar of the crowd it makes it hard to live in a comparatively silent world. (Copyright, 1020, by North American News- paper Alliance.) DEL RAY A. C. TEAM IN TWO BIG GAMES ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 26.—Man- ager Robert Martin has scheduled two important engagements for the Del Ray A. C. this week end, the first of which Wwill be played with the Catlett A. C. of Catlett, Va., at Manassas tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock and the other! with the Washington White Sox Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock on Edward Dun- can Field in Potomac. Martin has signed Guy Carton, prop- erty of the Boston Braves, who will re- port to the National League outfit when he obtains his discharge from the Army. Carton is expected to pitch Sunday’s game with the White Sox. A business meeting was held by the club last night when Carlos McCullough was elected secretary to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Benjamin D. Clark. _Ted Miller was elected treasurer. It was announced that the club now has 72 members. The carnival sponsored by the Del Ray A. C. opened last night on North ‘Washington street, extended, for a nine- day run, closing August 3. An execu- tive committee_composed of Jeff Wil- lams, E. K. Fitzpatrick, Ted Miller, Guy Camden and Carlos ‘McCullough has been named by the club to handle the carnival. The game scheduled for tomorrow be- tween the Alexandria Police Depart- ment and the Columbia Engine Com- pany has been called oft by Manager Lawrence E. Padgett of the police nine. Tt is thought the contest will be played later in the season. Padgett has booked a game with the Richmond police of Richmond, Va., for: ‘August 3. The contest is set for Bag- gett’s Park in this city. ‘Washington Street Playground tossers defeated the Friends' Playground nine by a 6-to-1 count in a game here yes- terdey afternoon. Lyons, pitching for winners, struck out five batters and held the losers to one hit, a bingle by Poole. George Beach, star linesman with the Virginia A. C. for several seasons, is expected to enroll at the Hargrave ‘Military Academy, , Vi next term. Beach is one of the foremost flattering him. | {7, BY O. B. KEELER, Tor the Associated Press. In the British open championship of 1921 Jock Hutchison, who won it, clipped four strokes from par on two successive holes, which I had thenceforth considered a record in formal play, or at least the equal of the record. dJock, playing with Bobby Jones, smacked a 1 into the eighth hole and just missed an- other at the ninth, a short par 4. So he went 1-2 on two holes of which par was 3-4. But at the Belle Meade Country Club of Nashville, at the recent Southern amateur championship, Chasteen Harris of Memphis set a new record, so far is I know. Mr. Harris was engaged in the qualifying round, and he was not doing well. In fact, had Mr. Harris managed merely par at the four- teenth and fifteenth holes his total score would have been 82, and that would have been two strokes too many to admit him to the cham- pionship division, even in a play-off. And Mr. Harris negotiated Nos. 14 and 15 so ably that he turned in a card of 77 and was qualified handily. No. 14 is a par 5 hole of 475 yards, and No. 15 is a par 4 hole of 251 yards—just long enough to be a par 4—with a bowled sort of green set up at the top of a rather steep 12 MORE PLAYGROUND TEAMS T0 COMPETE| Boy track and fleld athletes repre- senting 12 playgrounds were to com- pete this afternoon in the Northern Conference meet on the Iowa avenue playground. It was one of the serles of meets being conducted by the Munici- pal Playground Department preliminary to the city championship games to be held Wednesday, August 21, Iowa Ave- nue won the meet last year. Two more conference meets are yet | to be held. The Western Conference | affair will be staged on Georgetown University field next Friday through the courtesy of Georgetown University of- ficials and the Northwestern Confer- ence will be held August 16 at Cooke playground. Virginia Avenue battled Garfield, 1928 winner, to a tie for top honors yester- day in’the Southeast Conference meet on the Virginia Avenue track. Each | scored 58 points. Hoover finished next with 29, followed by Ketcham with 14; Buchanan, 7; Wallach, 3; Staunton, 3, and Orr, 2. Hoover and Ketcham did better than expected.

The perspiring Mr. Harris got away a big drive from the four- teenth tee, the ball running far on the hard turf, and used a No. 3 iron for his second shot, which stopped 18 inches from the flag, the putt dropping for an eagle 3. En- couraged by this turn of affairs, he then applied his brassie to the next drive and saw the ball reach the sloping apron and bound up on to the green. At once there was a shout from the fifteenth tee, over- looking the green. The ball had rolled into the cup. On_ two consecutive holes, par 5-4, Mr. Harris had traveled 3-1, clipping five strokes from par. The first, of course, is an eagle. The other would be called a double- 1 suppos PLAYGROUND LASSIES Girl playground athletes of the city took part in two track meets yesterday.

Staley, phy- sical education instructor at the Uni- | versity of Tllinois. | Shifting of managerial duties from paid coaches to students, a reversal of the evolution that took place from 1883 to the present time, is predicted by Staley.

NNAPOLIS, Md, July 26.—The | poor showing of Naval Aca emy crews at Poughkeepsie this | £ year has not served to prevent | 2 feeling of confidence at An- | napolis as to the prospects of the eight for the season of 1930. Six members of the varsity crew will form the basis of the eight next year and the improvement made in the boat during the few weeks of training at Poughkeepsie has offered encourage- ment in rowing circles here. Members from the varsity squad who will return and a number of good men from the plebe forces of this year will afford plenty of good material for the Junior varsity. The squad from the new class, from which the plebe crew of next year will be formed, already has begun work and contains much promising material. It will be recalled that the Navy crew led in the varsity race at Poughkeepsie for two and a half miles, or until the shell nearly filled with water. ‘The only members of the 1925 varsity who have graduated are Strong, sul and Butts, 5. Those who remain a- ‘Westhofen, bow; Crinkley, 2; Gray, Hunter, 4; Kiehlbauch, 6, and Jung, 7. Other members of the varsity squad who will be back are Russell, Eddy, Steffanides, Schoeni and Greathouse, while the plebes of this year will furnish several oarsmen of varsity caliber. ‘The next season will start with sev- i eral able and experienced candidates for the stroke position, including Crinkley. Eddy, Sievers and Bryan. During the past two seasons Glendon has had much | difficulty in securing a capable varsity stroke oar. Both Sievers and Crinkley have strok- ed plebe crews which won the freshman event at Poughkeepsie, Sievers in 1927 end Crinkley in 1928. Eddy was stroke of the varsity in 1928 and the junior varsity last year, while Bryan stroked the plebes this year until compelled to stop rowing on account of trouble with a foot ball injury. Sievers was regarded as one of the best first year oarsmen ever at the Academy when he stroked the champion plebe crew of 1927. He left the Acad- emy, however, but has returned and is eligible for the varsity next season. Among the members of the plebe squad who are possible varsity oarsmen next year are Bryan, Carpenter, Cham- bers, Shelton and Cox. No change in the coaching staff is bable. It consists of Richard A (Dad) Glendon, head coach; Buck Walsh, plebe coach, an d - sistant coach, S wing at the academy will receiv boost. next. season through. the som: pletion of the fine new boathouse, ¢ ing a quarter of a million dollars, |RECORD FOR ATTENDANCE BY CUBS IN N.
