BEEVES SHINE US TEAM BATS .325 TO BECOME WINNER By Louis A. Dousrher After a rocky start,. due largely to poor condition and inclement weather, the Washington Griffmen are today con siderable of a threat in the American League. They have begun making noise like a winning combination. Bucky Harris brought his gang*' hack to the Capital today, making j a hurried departure from Detroit last evening and coming home by way of Buffalo. The athletes were f delighted to see the huge dome off j the Capitol after their month’s wan- i dering. i The poor, battered, bedraggled t Griffmen left Washington on t May 20 in the cellar. They come < t home marching proudly along , within hailing distance of third j place. That’s quite a jump for , a team that seemed going no- , ■ where at all only two weeks ( ago. , While the Harris gang played in * the East things went badly. It was when the boys opened operations in the West that they began climb ing. In eleven games played on the seaboard only three were Wash ington victoriee but the story was reversed when the team hit the frontier, as the following figures Ittest: Team W. K. Philadelphia 1 4 Boston . ..y 1 I New York 1 3 It. Ixmim ..... 11 Chicago .... 3 0 Cleveland 3 1 I Jjetrok %... 3 1 —_ < Totals 12 11 Percentage, .521. Since Washington fans lasl’ ( glimpsed the team George Sister has been sold tn the Boston Braves t where he is doing well. He failed to hang on here, though trying i hard enough. When he blew up as an outfielder in Philadelphia his usefulness to the Griffs was at an end. Goose Goelin. handicapped by a dead throwing arm. went back to the garden, and began such a pound ing of the opposing pitchers as to climb into first place among the major league batsmen. Bobby Reeves, playing regu larly in the shortfield, followed Mie Goose’s example and saw bls name listed among the five leading batsmen of Hie circuit. "Lovely” Barnes was riding on top of the world when the Irani left, (or Philadelphia. He (mind the naQS ’too hot and has slipped hack. However, he is still a deadly hitter 4 whdh hits mean runs and is easily holding his own. As a team, the Griffs have been pounding the ball around the *.325 mark ever since finding themselves. If they can continue. Their pitchers need but to live up to advance notices to have Washington soon tiding in second place. Which is about aH -the Yankees are leaving as a prize for the rest of the teams. The Washingtonians are now facing a real opportunity and. if they have it in them, they should be much doser to the Yankees on .July 2 than they are today. They must play an even dozen games with the Red Sox and seven with the Mackmen in 13 days, beginning tomorrow. The Red Sox fizzled out in the west and may not be quite as tough now as they were a month back. The Mackmen like to tackle the Griffs under any conditions, consider ing the Griffs their lone jinx Huh. There is much truth In that and the Harris gang have renewed voufldence when oppos ing the SliHie Park troupe. Washington fans are going to have their first peek at littje “Pack” Kenna tomorrow. It’ is quite probably that he- will catch one of the games with the Red Sox They will see a dapper little fellow about Ruel’s size, with a stronger arm than Ruel’s. More speed on his feet and quite as much skill in swatting when swatting means something. He 13 the only Griffman a stranger her*. He joined the team in St. on June 2 and this is his first visit to the Capital. Bucky Harris is still suffering from a painful charleyhorse In his left leg. but believes himself about ready to resume activities around second base. It was his fine work that started the team clicking in the West. The team needs him RNNEGAM VS.

O.rty ‘ MONDAY, JUNE 18, IPBB ———. u Dazzy Vance Is Leading Both Leagues With 77 Strike-Outs* NEW YORK. June 18,—As the result of his remarkable perform ance in striking out 15 Chicago batters yesterday. Dazzy Vance today leads the pitchers of both major leagues in that specialty with 77 strike-outs for the sea son. ' The Brooklyn mound ace had a chance to tie the modern big league record of 1® strlke-outs for nine innings but Kiki-Cuyler the last batter to face him, hit a grounder. Twice he struck out . five consecutive batters. It was his best performance since 1925. When he struck out 17 of the Cardinals in a ten-inning game. Vance allowed the Cubs only three singles, winning 4 to 0. ffILTWM JT HEIGHT By George A. Simpson The polo fan* and mallet swingerm as well, are thankful that warm weather is here to stay as the polo season moves along with little in terruption. except when a shower or storm waters: the field and makes play Impracticable. Round robin games are staged every Tuesday and Thursday after noons at 4:30 o’clock on the Polo field in Potomac Park. Four teams play two games of eight chuckkers, with the sides alternating during the chuckkers. Saturday, regularly scheduled match games are held with the first starting at 3 o’clock. These are the most bitterly contested and draw a fair gathering of spectators. The War Department Polo League comprises four teams from the War Department and two four* (rum the Third Cavalry at Fort Mver. Some of the teams also engage In outside mutches. The War White poloists trounced the civilian Lou doumFarquler team. 8-2, at Middle- Imrg. Va. on Saturday. A return match' will be contested. tfais after noon on the Potomac Park Polo field.

Gehrig New York ,3g6. - ...JL- ,IIU,HI"-T- i TODAYS SfWftlAL 0 By Kirk Miller We .are able to report to our constituency that we have seen a game of this lacrosse you have been reading so much about lately; in fact we have seen two of them, and our unanimous recommen dation is to the effect it is all its proponents say for it. Eight or ten thousand of we lacrosse enthusiasts baked our beans in the boiling sun at Emory Wilson Memorial Stadium over four hours of some very swift lacrossing last Saturday and when folks, sit that king’in the blistering heat to watch two dozen long shanked “injuns” club each other around the field in pursuit of a little, hard rubber ball about as big as a tennis pellet, you can make up your mind the whole kit and caboodle of us are either crazy or just can t take our eyes off the magnetic thing we are watching. Sitting there in the torrid surroundings, watching the hare-legged athletes skim up and down the field with those snow-shoe ap pearing weapons in their sun-burned hands, watching the tropically gowned ladies of the afternoon go into raptures over some particularly thrilling spill afield or some narrowly missed goal, we imagined we could see into the future a time when lacrosse will have really established itself alongside of football, baseball and golf»as an American institution. There Will Be Lacrosse Experting Too *,-. - Furthermore we can foresee the time when there will be lacrosse experts among the newspaper craft, such as there are base ball authorities, football, horse racing and fight experts, and in truth a desire overcame us to learn more of the fine points of the fascinating game which the American Indian has handed down to us, probably in return for the egg beater, potato peeler, patent can opener or hypodermic needle American colonists intro duced to him. Such a future for lacrosse is predicted herewith, not because of any particular claim to occult powers, but because we believe we can tell when a game has the elements of appeal to the crowd, and lacrosse has that. If the crowd last Saturday is a sample, lacrosse will have mob psychology, both as a thing to observe and as a topic us which to write or read. And so, it may just happen that we shall feel the urge sooner or later to start experting on lacrosse, giving opinions, answering questions which nobody asked, advancing theories and the likes of that. One of the outstanding reasons lacrosse should go over big when it is better introduced to the general public here, is that it is what we in the sporting profession like to call an “open game.” That is to say it is not a difficult same to follow front the grand stands, albeit it must be a very difficult game to play. Any sport as wide open as baseball and lacrosse is bound to attract ers. In the first place it isn’t hard to get interested in and in the second place it’s absorbing when that interest has once taken root. Field of Play Rectangular, as in Football Lacrosse, let us say for the benefit of you neophytes who haven’t had the benefit of seeing two complete games, like we experts have, is played on a rectangular field, such as football, without any chalk marks except the boundaries and the crease. The field is probably 150 yards lone by half as wide and goals are inside the field about 20 yards from the end and in the same relationship as football goalposts. The goals are about six feet square at the opening and a stout net slants from the top. backwards to the ground, about six or seven feet. The crease is a chalk line, another six feet in front of the net about as wide as the net, and marks the zone back of which the “goalie” or guardian of the net stands. An offensive team spanking the ball fn the net. while one of its own players (Continued on Next Page.)
