HICAGO, June 12.—1It is grim- ly humorous today to see Bob Burke's second pitching vietory of the season written | down in the American League records. Because, at the same time, lanky, languid Bob also goes down on Bucky | Harris' list as the Nationals’ No. 1 problem child. He has filled, nay bulged, the shoes of the departed Monte Weaver in this respect. To all appearances Burke Jjust hasn’t got it. And yet. has he? Bob isn’t sickly, as was Weaver. He isn't unnaturally thin, as was Monte. | He is full of determination, and the ‘Washington catchers say he still flashes the “stuff” on the ball. Yet the fellow whom Harris pre- dicted last Spring would win 17 games | for the Nationals this season has won only two, counting a farce victory yes- terday. Consigned to relief roles at a stage of the race when his club | needs pitching as never before, he | g seems unable to even fill that bill.

Bob also worked in the second game, lost beyond hope and ending 9 to 3. He fared little better in three innings of toil. Bob Also Is Puzzled. BURKE himself is not hiding from the facts. “All I know.” avers Bob with a pretense of cheer he doesn't feel, “is that I'm throwing a ‘gofor’ hall—go for distance. The batters aren't satisfied with only sin- | gles. They're socking doubles, triples and homers, and I can't figure it.” It is no joke about the extra bases, either. In the last five games in which Burke has participated' Bob has taken & pounding. He has pitched 21 in- nings, has been pounded for 23 hits, good for 41 extra bases, and has given up 22 runs. He has walked eight batsmen and hit another. At that, Bob had company in his misery. Henry Coppola, sensational shutout winner in his first and only previous start, finally has tasted de- feat.

Yet Owens, after first men on the bases at the time around The pitching may be debatable and at times the batting order appears too southpaw-heavy, but one champion- ship Nationals appear to have is heart—plenty of it. - Owens was & terrific shock, It almost snatched the game away from the Griffs, who saw their lead of 8-to-4 at Go on Griff’s List Of Unfair Umps After Giving Simmons Home Run on ‘Foul’ cepted to mean it was foul.

Whereas we thought that the phy- sical presence of Bounding Bill alone was sufficient to cause any and all who knew anything about tennis to crowd the counters in their demand for choice seats, we learned that scarcely any of the seats had been sold. And advance sales on tennis matches the caliber of this usually are good. Three things, we were told, prob- ably were contributing to the apathy of the public. VOLLEYS is of to take the time off on a busy vention afternoon to travel the 3 50 miles out to the scene of the match. Secondly, the time element is against the match. Four o'clock in the after- noon is a little too early for office workers, and hesides any weekday afternoon does not have the appeal of a Saturday half-holiday. And thirdly, the opinion was ex- pressed that Kenwood never has been associated with tennis, and it was hard to sell tickets because “Kenwood tennis” just didn't sound natural All of these reasons sound logical enough. But the writer always had thought that the sight of Tiiden on any court was enough to outweigh any possible disadvantage such as time or place, We still think that the fans who do go out will get their money’s worth.

BY BILL DISMER. | T WOULD have been nice to have | possessed two pairs of eyes out at Rock Creek from 6 to 7 o'clock | last evening. For at the same | time, on adjacent courts, were taking | place as nice matches as you will see | here, although both were decided by lop-sided scores. Larry Phillips and Neal Anderson, | the losers, were not disgraced. They | were pitted against two of the out- standing courtmen in the city, with | Anderson playing against probably the | best stylist in this section and the rapidly increasing choice of many to win the City of Washington tourna- | | ment. We speak of Dooley Mitchell, who | permitted Anderson to take but one | game in the two sets. Neal, his face | growing hotter in conjunction with | the pace set by the seeded No. 2| player, was a freely perspiring battler in contrast to the cool, unworried | former champion. Mitchell was strok- ing in fine form yesterday and was taking the hot serves off the racket of Anderson with ease. Markey Not Pressed. | IN THE next court Phillips was giving Bud Markey, the No. 4 seeded player, a little more competition, com- ing back, after winning but one game in the first set, to run his more fa- vored foe to 6—4 before double- faulting for the final point. The for- | mer Notre Dame ace, though, mever | was pressed after the score had been | tied by his plucky rival at 3-all. None of the other seeded players had any difficulty in the second-round | matches, which were completed yes- terday, although Frank Shore, former junior champion. had to play the longest before vanquishing Hugh Brad- | ley, 6—4, 6—3. With entries for the doubles closed last night, competition in that class will start this afternoon. Mitchell and Markey, a formidable pair, have | been ranked No. 1, while Tony Latona | and Ralph McElvenny have been | seeded No. 2. Two more of the seeded | players in the singles have been | teamed together, Frank Shore hook- | ing up with Ricky Willis. Unusual Opponents.
