Rain Adds to Nats9 Slab Worries: D. C. Net Meet Invaders “Seeded99

HILLMEN TO HURT
Flock of Twin Bills Apt to
Press Reserves Into
Starting Duty.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.
Chicago. June 27.—it’s ail
very nice, sitting in a hotel
lobby or a movie show now
and then watching rain post
pone ball games, but the Nationals are
getting around to wondering if the
after effects, like a hangover, make it
worth while.
For instance, today the Washing
tons will carry their third-place battle
to the White Sox in a double-header.
Tomorrow they will play another
double-header here. On the Fourth
of July, a week hence, they will play
the Yanks a double-header. In the
next nine days, to sum it up, the Na
tionals are scheduled to play 11 ball
games.
To begin with Bucky Harris hardly
has the pitching staff to be subjected
to this kind of extensive campaigning.
Then, while base ball is regarded as a
delightful sport, it has been known to
become very tiresome under withering
June and July suns. Some of the boys
who have been working overly hard—
Buddy Lewis, Red Kress and Ossie
Bluege—might begin to feel the heat.
For these fellows are no replacements
on the beneh.
Slab Problems to Solve.
tJOW Bucky will handle his greatest
■* worry—the . manipulation of his
hurlers—is a problem he hasn’t worked
out himself as yet. Earl Whitehill
end Jimmy De Shong were slated for
duty against Chicago today and to
morrow'. In all likelihood, Buck New
som will share the pitching w'ith
either Joe Cascarella or Pete Apple
ton. Regardless of w’hich of these
gents is chosen, he will do his throw
ing after only two days of rest, as Joe
and Pete divided the hurling last
Thursday in St. Loins.
The loafingest day the Griffs will
have during the next nine days will be
Monday and this won’t exactly be the
highest form of relaxation. The team
is slated to leave Chicago Sunday
night and spend the next 19 or 20
hours on a train bearing them back to
the Capital, where they’ll await the
opening of a four-game series in Phil
adelDhia Tuesdav.
This Phllly set will take up most of
next week and. before the Griffs get
a chance to catch their collective
breath, they’ll be back in Washington
on July 4 for the traditional double
header against the Yanks. A single
game a week from Sunday, then, will
wind up this splurge of activity for
three days of rest will be meted out
while the fourth annual all-star game
is played in Boston.
Work for Reserves.
^jASCARELLA, still bothered by a
sore shoulder, probably will be
asked to pitch either here tomorrow
or in Philadelphia Tuesday, but Harris
atill will face a pitching shortage,
especially if he Intends to hold back
on a couple first stringers in order to
shoot them at the Yankees on July 4.
Thus, in all probability, the Nationals
will be given an inkling in Philadel
phia of what one or two members of
the reserve slabbers can do In a start
ing assignment. It would not be sur
prising if Harris elected to gamble
against the Athletics and threw either
8yd Cohen or Monte Weaver, or both,
into the series as starters. Cohen has
been with the club since the Cleveland
aeries and so far his activities have
not exceeded the flipping-in-the-bull
pen stage. Weaver, too, has enjoyed
plenty of rest of late. Back in the
days when Monte was one of the
American League’s better pitchers, he
used to make merry with the A’s and
Indians, and Harris may be inclined
to use him on that basis.
Cohen hardly will set the circuit on
fire with his pitching but the southpaw
from Chattanooga showed himself to
be a fair sort of a pitcher when he
was up with Washington in 1934 for
a brief trial. He broke even in a
couple starts.
In any event, the prospects are more
work for the Griffs than they’ve faced
*o far this season. If they can stand
up during the next nine days, they
should not be bothered, particularly,
by any such fears In the future.

Williams, Texas Finalist
Last Year, Rated Best
of Visiting Lot.
BY BILL DISMF.R. JR.
BUOYED by the presence of
better and more numerous
out-of-town stars than any
Capital tournament has en
ticed in years, the District of Colum
bia tenma tourney was to open at 2
o’clock this afternoon at Columbia
Country Club.
So great and impresstve was the
enrollment of non-local players that
Referee Louts I. Doyle and the tour
nament committee adopted the sug
gestion to make a seeding of the
’’foreign" stars who will compete
against the home-town products.
Unwilling to rate these products of
other sections, with whose current
play they are not so familiar, the
process employed in the nationals was
followed—that of giving the non
resident players a seeding of their
own.
Foremost among the invaders is
Clayton Williams, runner-up for the
State of Texas championship last
year and a member of the Lone Star
team which played Mexico in an in
ternational match last December. But
slightly behind him is the name of
Frank M. Goeltz. a resident of Pitts
burgh and ranked No. 16 In the Mid
dle 8tates section.
Goeltz Highly Rated.
^JOELTZ arrived here yesterday
straight from the Middle States
tournament, from which he was elim
inated in the quarter-final round
Thursday. He was no stranger to one
Washington player. Dooly Mitchell,
who met and defeated him twice in
Eastern tournaments last year. Goeltz
was eliminated in the Middle States
by Guy Cheng, semi-Analtst in the
tournament at Pittsburgh.
That tournament, incidentally, may
prevent Barney Welsh, defending
champion, appearing in the new com
petition at Columbia before Monday.
Welsh, bidding for his second inter
sectional title within a week, plays
Bob Harmon of Berkeley, Calif., in a
semi-final match today. Should he
win, he will meet the winner of the
Cheng-Arthur Htndrix match for the
championship tomorrow.
Other seeded out-of-town contest
ants in the District tournament in
clude Lieut. James McCue, Navy
Leech Cup player of the past few years
who went to the semi-finals of the
same tournament a year ago; Paul
; Pollard of Lynchburg, eleventh-rank -
ing player of the Middle Atlantic sec
! tion; Alex Keiles and Ed Grelpenkirl
of Baltimore and Jack Talbot of
Staten Island.
Welsh Tops Local Field.
'Yy/'ELSH, of course, was seeded at the
top of the local entrants, with
Dooly Mitchell ranked No. 2. Hugh
j Lynch was named next, with the rest
j of the local contingent rated as fol
! lows; Tony Latona, Tom Markey,
| Ralph McElvenny, Tom Mangan and
Prank Shore. Mangan earned his po
sition through his great work in the
recent City of Washington tourna
ment, in which he traveled to the
quarter-final round before being elim
| inated by Mitcheil.
Middle Atlantic Association rank
! ings were used for seeding the rest of
' the players. Shore being the only one
not included within the section’s first
| 10. He now is rated No. 12, but his
great work with the University of
North Carolina team this Spring
pressages an advance in his position
at the end of the current season.
Encouraged by the start given them
in the recent junior tournament spon
sored by The Star, numerous junior
players of the city have entered the
competition against their more experi
enced associates. Chief among them
are Ralph (Buddy) Adair, Billy Turn
er, De Witt Smith, jr.: Johnny Hatch,
Bob Chichester and Billy Contreras.
Mather in Tourney,
A NOTHER ranking player of the
District, who will be getting his
first competition of the year is Ed
ward (Red) Mather, sensation of last
Pall. Mather was out of town when .
the City of Washington tournament
started, but was one of the first en
trants in the current affair.
Doubles entries were to be accepted
at the Columbia Country Club tenni;
shop up until 6 o'clock today. Play ir
that division will start tomorrow.
It’s Getting to Be a Habit With Our Kate
KATHERINE RAWLS,
Of Miami, who came from behind, like a true champion to win the 300-meter medley at the
National A. A. U. women’s swimming meet at Manhattan Beach. N. Y., yesterday. This was the
sixth consecutive time she has annexed the title, which establishes a record for the length of time
a crown has been held by one swimmer. —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto.
GIRLS STAGE KEEN
TANK TITLE DUELS
Dive, Backstroke Numbers
High Points of National
A. A. U. Swims.
By the Associated Press,
NEW YORK, June 27 —Two water
babies, one 12 and the other
13, and a trio of backstroke
beauties quickened the pulse
beats of the aquatic minded today in
j the women's national A. A. U. outdoor
swimming championships
The water babies were 12-year-old |
Mary Hoerger of Miami and Marjorie
Gestring. 13-year-old Los Angeles girl,
who were expected to wage a tight bat
| tie for the 3-meter springboard div
ing championship. Mary, who drops
into the water almost as silently as a
pin, is the defending champion. Mar- !
jorie won the indoor title last Spring
in Chicago. Out to beat them both
was Janice Lifson of New York, older
but a keen rival.
In the second banner event of
rivalry were pitted Mrs. Eleanor Holm
Jarrett of New York and the famous
Kompa sisters. Eras and Elizabeth, in
the 220-yard backstroke, a race long j
ruled by Mrs. Jarrett. but now seriously
threatened by the New York pair.
Mrs. Jarrett who rises to exceptional
brilliance when the checks are down,
rated as a slight favorite.
Two other events were on the pro
gram—the 220-yard breast stroke,
starring Katy Rawls of Miami, and
the 440-yard free style, which was ex
pected to go again to Mrs. Lenore
Kight Wingard of Homestead, Pa.
Miss Rawls won her sixth straight
300 meters individual medley cham
pionship yesterday in a romp. A third
successive victory in the 880-yard relay
championship sent the Washington
Athletic club team from Seattle into a
first place team tie with tbe Women's
Swimming Association of New York
with 11 points.

GEHRIG’S GREAT .402
TOP IN MAJOR LOOPS
Yanks' Iron Man Sets Sizzling
Pace for Batters—Stu Martin
Leads in National.
By the Associated Press.
7VTEW YORK. June 27 —The batting
1 pace Lou Gehrig, the Yankee’s
clubbing first baseman, is setting in
the big leagues is so hot that not one
of the current leaders in either league
can keep up with him.
While most of the others at or near
the top in the two major circuits were
slipping Gehrig continued his slug
ging during the past week to climb
over the .400 mark, the only batsman
in that select set in the big-time.
The "iron-man'’ veteran batted at a
near .500 clip for the week which ended
yesterday to boost his mark from .395
to .402.
At the same time, Stu Martin, the
; St. Louis Cardinal rookie sensation,
retained the National League lead, but
slipped considerably during the week,
getting but nine hits in 28 trips to
the plate, which dropped his average
j from .377 to .369

THE SPORTLIGHT
Built Up His Legs by Keeping Them
at Work, Says Gehrig, Spurning Rest.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
LINES TO LOU GEHRIG.
In a rickety planet of shadows and fears,
Where supermen heroes rise and crash,
Where they turn one day to the mob’s mad cheers
And fall the next with an awful smash, '
You stand above all their taunts and jeers,
Mocking time as you ride the years.
Out (here swinging the same old ash.
Twelve years now since you’ve missed a game;
Time is sick of your cock-eyed pace;
The old boy's limping and sore and lame
Matching you in the iron man’s race!
Wc need your light with its shining flame
To show the way to the soft and tame,
Out there swinging the same old mace.
They come and go—or they stall and quit,
They flash and fade in a world that’s flat;
What do they know of the needed grit
To pin time down to his ancient mat?
Year by year in the front-line pit,
Breaking ’em up when they need a hit.
Out there swinging the same old bat.
Y COBB was one of the first
to prove that the best way to
build up a pair of legs and
keep them going was to keep
them busy. No ball player ever took
a longer series of leg-cracking chances
than the Georgia Ghost, who still was
out there after 24 years.
Now, a young fellow by the name of
Henry Louis Gehrig has come along
to prove about the same point. Which
is this—one of the best ways to
rust is to rest.
Gehrig moved into action with the
Yankees in the late Spring of 1925.
Jack Dempsey still was champion of
the world and Bobby Jones was just
getting under winning ways. Cobb
was batting .378 and the United States
had a Big and Little Bill double grip
on the Davi* Cup.
Joe Louis was 17 years old
and Joe Di Maggio was a kid
playing ball around the streets.
That's how long ago 1925 happens
to be. But Gehrig hasn't missed a
ball game since. Now he's on his
way to the 1,800 mark for consecu
tive starts.
rJ"HIS is only part of the story.
When Lou slipped into a batting
slump last Spring, I heard a flock
of ball players say he had worn him
self out—that no human could keep
going that long without a few rest
ing spots. A year later—1936—and
It’s been another story. Gehrig is not
only standing on both feet, but, in
addition, is now in the middle of the
best year he ever had. Gehrig was
bom June 19, 1903, in New York City.
At 33 he is a better all-around ball
player than he ever was before.
A short while back I asked Lou
how his legs were holding out. ,.S
There was a surprised look on his
face as he said, "Great—why not?”
"Haven’t you felt any strain from
those 1,700 or more consecutive
games?” X asked.
“That's why my legs are good," he
said. "I've built them up by keeping
them at work. They never had a
chance to soften up. I’ve never
bothered any about all these consecu
tive games. I like to play base ball.
Why not keep on playing as long as I
have the luck? I might have twisted
an ankle or hurt an arm or got sick
any time. It Just, so happens I didn't.
I've taken good cure of myself and I've
been lucky. That’s all you need to
keep on playing.”
The Sporting Prospert.
p^DDIE HART, Princeton’s famous
tackle and captain from 1911, and
Mike Cantwell, trainer of ball players
and fighters, including Ty Cobb and
Max Baer, sat in with Ralph Odell.
Ralph Odell is the young heavy
weight from Ottumwa, Iowa, who has
set his mind on being heavyweight
champion of the world. He was one
of the starg on Southern California's
freshman foot bail teRm, but the family
needed money and Ralph liked to fight.
When he left for a camp in
the woods above Poughkeepsie,
he stood at 6 feet 1 inch—
weighed 294 pounds—age, 20
years—and, according to Mike
Cantwell and Eddie Hart, was
the hardest two-fisted puncher
that either had ever seen.
Odell is the young fighter that a
group of well-ktrxwri former foot ball
players from the East are backing. He
will be given every chance, with the
best Instructors in the game. He re
sembles something like a bigger Tun
ney, with shoulders like Max, Baer.
More important, he has Ty Cobb’s
eyes, which missed nothing In the old
days.
All any one knows about Odell now
is that he is big, fast, strong and
game—with a punch in either paw—
and he likes the game. The best point
in his favor is that he is a natural
hitter and that he happens to like the
rough, aggressive side of sport. He has
a pair of legs on the order of Jim
Jeffries’—and they can take him
around. It will be interesting to see
what the right sort of training and
development can do in a case of this
sort. .
If the natural stuff or instinct isn't
there, the chapter won’t last any too
long. If it is, Odell will have the
chance to prove it. In the way of
physical equipment, he has everything
any heavyweight needs. He is smart
enough. But fighting is a different
game from anything else—where only
one in ten thousand can get his head
above the battered and discouraged
mass.

Turf Betting in Paris Halted as
Commissioners “Sit Down.’’
PARIS, June 27 VP.I.—Betting on
horse races was halted today as book
makers augmented the 150.000 French
workers beginning their second month
of "sit-down” strikes.
The betting agents sat in their tiny
offices, refusing to pay winners or
take new bets.
Red banners remained atop flag
poles at naval shipyards of St. Nazaire.
where 10,000 employes still refused
to work.
The General Confederation of Labor
warned workers to hold advantages
gained by adhering to agreements,
calling new strikes only if "the em
ployers refuse to discuss demands or
are intransigent."
The port of Marseille resumed its
normal appearance after ship strikers

'POPPING
OFf'rFt,.
i By a Staff Correspondent of The Star
CHICAGO, June 27.—That dawn
of a new fistic era that Joe
Louis' meteoric rise was sup
posed to herald looks now to
have been just a Mazda in the act of
throwing off a few flickers before
dying out. Scanning the ring horizon
today fails to reveal much of a
change in the set-up. The stage set
tings, here and there, are different
but, for the most part, the characters
are the same.
Now that Max Schmeling has
proved that Louis has a china chin.
Max Baer's roars of fresh war cries
are heard across the continent.
The ex-champion wants to
commit a comeback and it is
feared he now has the ambition
to carry out his dastardly
scheme.
You cannot help but wonder if
Maxie's bellowing would have been so
loud and ferocious if Louis had done
to Schmeling what he had done to
Baer.
And Sharkey, Too.
JJP IN Boston, the moody man who
made a success of failure—Jack
Sharkey—is likewise 'threatening to
make a comeback. Jack is so serious
about it all that he climbed off the
floor in the first round the other
night and boxed his way to a victory
over the inexperienced Phil Brubaker
of California.
If tbe Normandie and Queen Mary
would stop racing across the ocean for
a few moments you probably could
hear from Italy the faint echo of a
roar that might be identified with
Primo Camera.
Recently, the New York State
Boxing Commission banned old
satchel feet from carrying his
own glass chin into metropol
itan rings on the count that he
isn't a lighter.
Now that Louis has been tapped on
the lug with a right band and Sharkey
I and Baer threaten to stage come
backs, Da Preem has quite a come
i back. He could make quite a furse
about it all, as a matter of fact, even
to carrying it to court and suing the
New York solons for libel.
What’s the Matter With Marty?
OCHMELING and Sharkey, Baer
^ and Jimmy Braddock. There isn't
anything unfamiliar about those
names. Sharkey touched the match
to another "dark dud" of bygone days.
Harry Wills. Schmeling has been
fighting for a dozen years. Braddock.
in the early 1920s, was grateful for a
$40 semi-final spot in a tank town.
And I wonder if Baer thinks people
have forgotten how he listened to that
count last September on his knees?
Now that Schmeling has ex
ploded the Louis myth, the
“white hope" quest seems to be
gathering momentum instead of
tailing off.
Maybe, If Louis still was recognized
today as a superman, Sharkey gra
ciously would have figured, from his
perch on the canvas the other night,
that Brubaker was a nice boy, that
he gave up the ministry for boxing, |
and that maybe he (Sharkey) ought
not be too harsh with him.
Maybe Baer would have been con- i
tent to hang on to that baton and
continue to lead his orchestra in the
Far West.
There are deeper mysteries than
those of Sharkey and Baer. For in
stance. why hasn't old Tom Heeney
announced his comeback? Or Phaint
ing Phil Scott?
And what is keeping Georges
Carpentier out of tights and
training?
Maybe, when you think it all over,
the next chanson is that big guy
offer in Foggy Bat tom, who gives
riding lessons and r%>ts out horses.
Yep, Marty Gallagher, That's the
«tuy. \ i
