JUNIOR ORDER PROVES
IT’S ANYBODY’S TITLE
IN SANDLOT SERIES
By R . D. THOMAS .
Little old Lefty White, barely big enough for the midget class,
but these many years counted out as a star pitcher, set the crack
Union Printers on their ears, and Junior Order was able to hold
the national champion typos to one run m nine innings and gain
9k draw
It was a surprise, for the Printers were supposed to knock Junior
Order flatter than a glass of stale beer. . ~
This is byway of emphasising that the independent championship
aeries, just started, is to be hotly contested, with no team to be
discounted as a contender.
The Harlem club of Georgetown, making rapid strides, but gam
ing little attention from some of the so-called crack teams in the
aeries, is to play the Shamrocks this afternoon on Randle fleld.
After the Junior Order exhibition"
against the Printers, the dope
Sharks have little to say as to the
outcome of the Harlem-Shamrock
contests, though the dope decrees
that the Harps should be favorites.
Petworth’a strong young team
Will make its debut this afternoon
In—a- contest at Central stadium
with the W. F. Roberts outfit,
handled by Ike Thompson. Several
weeks ago when Petyorth was
bowling over strong and much
older teams, Buck Grier’s young
sters were touted widely as a team
“to be watched” in the city series.
They will be watched today by
many fans, It is expected, for in
to Petworth’s drawing
i power, Central stadium is a sand
lot attraction because of the com
tort to be enjoyed by spectators.
The O’Donnell’s team, about
which little is known, will show
Its stuff In a game with the
Mllans, on the latter's fleld at
Fifteenth and C streets north
east. Incidentally, the Mllans are
ambitious. Their record Is not
half bad.
The Waverly juniors are the first
champion team of last year to get
under way in the present series,
meeting the strong Epiphany ju
niors at Eighteenth and B streets
southeast.
Perch Cornell. Mohawk Prep
{linger, has blood-poisoning in his
main fin and the doctor has barred
him from the diamond for a week
•r so. The Preps have two other
pitchers.
By dint of hard work, under
the direction of Manager Stewart
Anderson, the St. Teresa players,
aided by Manager Lawrence, of
the Shamrock Juniors and some
of his youngsters, have made a
neat diamond at the foot of Penn
sylvanis bridge.
Hank Hendricks is playing with
the Harlems of Georgetown, who
may surprise some of the unlimit
ed class teams. Hendricks is a
Mayflower sailor. He is a star
back in football and more than
holds his own as a pitcher in base
ball.
The little Friendship Midgets,
small as they are, have a mascot
whom they gaze down uoon to get
an eyeful. “Dark Sunshine” they
call the mite of a colored boy who
trails them to every game.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars
thought they would be among the
city championship contenders hut
discovered that too many of their
athletes worked late hours to play
week-day ball.
i Too much curiosity has cost the
[ Corinthian Midgets their star t
catcher, Frank CifaJ. Frank i
wanted to know a thing or two j
about sulphur. He learned that ;
sulphur may be made to burn.
Both his hands are out of whack.
Prank and George Cifal formed
the Corinthians’ winning battery.
“If Charley Swan can keep his
men together the American Legion
Will win the city series,” is heard
frequently. Swan has a crack
team, right enough, taut there is
more than one "if” between the
Legion and the championship. That
goes for every team in the un
limited class in fact.
Maryland A. C. thrills wtth Its
4-3 victory over Seat Pleasant.
The Chesapeake Junction teams are
full of fight and their three-game
series is a real sandlot attraction.
Next game, next Sunday.
Forrest Thompson, the Mohawk!
pitcher, is now a confirmed golfer. !
Forrest Is shooting in The Wash-!
lngton Times tournament at the
public links. He is around fifty
gegularly.
Some sandlot teams are jinxed
by praise. But not the Lin
worths in the senior class, about
whom some pleasant words have
passed lately- They took ihe
Waverly Seniors neatly the other
day and in Southwest Waehington
the sandlot fans still rejoice.
The Linworths and Waverlys are
rivals.
E. Lawrence Phillips’ new hall
park at Fifteenth and H streets
northeast is about a week from
completion.
The Phils, in Section C, of the
unlimited class, have lost nine
ball games by one run. Another
tough luck team is Ike Thompson’s
putflt, W. F. Roberts. The Roberts
players have done a lot of slugging
that didn’t mean anything.
Young Jesse Deloe, one of
Heinie Webb’s protege on the
Union Printers’ team, has cast his
lot with the Century A. C. in the
senior class, and is certain to get
in more games than he would
have played with the printers.
Jesse shows much promise as a
pitcher.
Heinie Webb’s old soupbone Is in
fine working order and he will take
a regular turn on the hill for the
typos. The Union Printers are the
only Washington team that ever
won a national baseball title. Vir
tually all of the men Webb took

Pancho Villa, the flashy Filipino,
who recently dethroned Jimmy
Wilde as flyweight champion of the
world, will receive a nice sum of
dough for meeting Kid Williams,
former bantam king, at Shetzline
Park, Philadelphia, on July 30.
Incidentally, Ellno Flores, stable

Barrett, the hard-hitting redhead,
in the semi-final.
The Villa-Williams scrap will be
decided over the eight-round no
deHsion route, as will the other
contest. Even if Villa is knocked
for a row of ashcans he would still
be ruler of the flyweight roost, as
Williams cannot make the fly

Villa hap met and defeated other
good bantams, mentioning Terry
Martin and Abe Goldstein. Wil
liam, no doubt, is a sturdy little
scrapper, but that he will lick Villa
seems impossible. The Filipino
just now is in the best form ever

NICK DISCUSSES PITCHING
NEW YORK,, July 3.—Now that the bucket shop system is all
wet, certain people is howling shout the baseball law that
won’t let our owners and various managers trade among them
selves for players. That law went into effect on June 15.
Thus, it sets at rest for all time thia year that the writer will
be purchased for $668,789.16 to strengthen the tail light clubs of
both circuits. So, Washington still retains the services of Mr.
Altrock, and the reason h not the price, which was cheap enough
at best, but the fact that fans of the rear axle teams has enough
laughs by just looking at their favorites play, let alone importing
Charlie Chaplain or Mr. Altrock to make them laugh more. More
laughter might be fatal.
I am in a position to state that'
a lot of managers wanted to get
Babe Ruth for their clubs. But
the only way they can get him
now is to have their pitchers walk
the big fellow all the time. That
boy gets more walking than Ed
ward Payson Weston ever saw,
and if walking means health, why
Mr. Ruth should be bumming
over with it, as they say.
Certain of our clubs who
thought they had crack pitchers
in the spring turned opt to have
cracked pitchers in the summer.
My friend, Mr. McGraw—and if
you doubt he is my friend, write
him a postal letter and find out—
says that the whole ‘thing depends
on pitchers. If his pitchers turn
sour, then it means cheese for
the Giants.
If the Pirates boxmen go acid,
then it looks like the Smoky City
will be giving stogies filled with
arsenic incense to their pitchers.
In Cincinnati Adolph Luque,
the Cuban hurler, is doing well.
With Cubans, Dutchmens, Irish
Meusels and Spanish Influenza
working all around our major cir
cuits, why don’t they call them
the International League in one
instance and the League of Na
tions in the other.
So far as my eyes are con
cerned, this American League has
more descendants from many
foreign climates than they have
natives of, well, let us say lowa
or Montana.
Too Many Hitters.
THE best tip-off on the pitch
ing is that there is a drove
of .300 hitters in each of the
two big leagues, not counting the
Epworth League, which may have
batters knocking up to 1000 for
all that I know.
Nobody seems to be stepping
on enough gas to get around my
pal, Harry Heilman, of Detroit,
and I want to predict that he will
lead the league in batting. I
just naturally am so puffed up
over my success in predicting
things, that I make it a rule to
predict something in every story.
I only wish there was more
stories, and the only people who
don’t join me in this wisn is my
army of readers. I have some in
the navy, too, as I love my
schooners.
Only one prediction has gone
bad on me, and I could of cried,
only I hadn’t reached the maud
lin stage. That was when I in
vited our manager, Donie Bush,
to dine at his expense at the
writer’s home in Q street N. W.
(Ain’t Washington funny on
streets?)
And the writer predicted they
would get a steak. But Mrs.
Altrock didn’t have steak, and
s:»id we could get it at a res
taurant.
-li . Bush went there.

SEVERAL CHANGES MADE
IN TIMES’ TOURNEY
By LEON ARP W. COLLINS.
Several important changes have been made in the original plans
for The Washington Times' gigantic public links tournament. The
last day for the turning in of classification scores has been set for
Saturday, August 18, whereas it had originally been fixed as
August 31.
The Times now find* that upward of 400 players have signified
their intuition of competing in the event and with this great num
ber it wf.l be necessary to get the qualification and final rounds
under way earlier if the tournament is to be completed before the
middle of October.
Inasmuch as the time for sub
mitt ins classification scores has
been curtailed two weeks it was
deemed only fair that but ten
classification scores be required
frofn prospective entrants, instead
of fifteen. Those players who have
not yet turned in ten scores are
urged to do so at the earliest possi
ble date.
It will take the classification
committee at least a week in which
to make the classifications and each
entrant will be notified one week
in'advance of the dates upon which
he or she is to play their qualify
ing rounds of eighteen holes each.
The qualification rounds will
start on Tuesday, September 4,
and continue five days. During
this period every player in the
tournament will shoot eighteen
holes. The following week the
entrants will again play another
eighteen holee, arid the sixteen
lowest In Classes A and B for the
women will meed in the champion
ship flights.
The championship flights will get
under way on Monday, October 1,
and continue until Thursday, Octo
ber 4, when the finalists in all
classes will compete for The Wash
ington Times* silver loving cups.
The first; second, and semi-final
rounds will be at eighteen holes,
match play, and the the finals at
thirty-six holes, match play, eight
een to be played in the morning
and eighteen in the afternoon.
In addition to the silver loving
cups which The Washington Times
will award to the winners in each
championship flight, prises will also
be awarded the runners-up, low
medalists in the qualifying rounds,
etc. The prize list will be the most
pretentious ever competed for in
the National Capital.

Three Philadelphians
To Be Present At
Dempsey Tableau
Philadelphia papers boast of
the fact that the city will be
represented at the Dempsey-
Gibbons tableau in Shelby to
morrow. One is a sport writer,
one a fight promoter, and the
third is an imbecile who bad
$109.14 and didn't know what
to do with it. Washington can

or so. Again the National Cap

Brotherly Love.
had a case constructed which
henceforth will bear his clubs and
other golfing equipment on display.
The case was unveiled last Satur
day with appropriate ceremonies.
Visiting golfers here for the
second annual public links tourna
ment were almost agreed that the
158-yard No. 17 was the most dK-
Icult hole of all over the East
Pstomac Park course. The hole
is most severely trapped and is
known as what te an Maad green.
Dick Walsh played it with a
three-quarter spoon shot, trusting
to luck to hop over the intervening
bunker; Whltham used a slugging
iron, or mid-mashie; young Dolp
always used a mid-iron, while the
long-hitting McAuliffe, from Buf
falo, was the only one who could
reach it with any degree of con
sistency and accuracy with a
mashle.
His Splurge Done.
This time last year Eddie Ain
smith was getting home runs fre
quently for the St. Louis Cards and
hitting above the .300. His season's
mark was .293. Ainsmith’s splurge
i« done, though. In his first forty
three games this season the formal
l (irmman is hitting for .194. '
