IN TINGLE
By (UOrg* A. Simpson
•Soeeer ebiefs of the District
will gather tonight at 8 o'clock
in Room 2, of the District
Building, to tackle a problem
frought with lots of trouble.
An excess number of teams in
one league and a shortage in
another has created an in
volved situation.
The Capital City League, an
'eight-club outfit in 1927, has 12
! clubs lined up for thia season,
i which opens October 7. Clan Mac-.
' Lennan, champions; British United,
runner-up; Rosedale. Germania.
Rockville. Concord Reserves, Arca
dians and Army Medical Center will
i re-enter teams. Besides Marlboro,
i Recreation League monarchs, seek
entry, while British United may
: place a second club on the field as
! «ell as German-Americans and Fort
Myer has applied for a franchise.
i The Washington Soccer League.
! which groped through a hazardous
i season.with Waifords, the cream of
soccer teams here; Concord. Ger
, man-Americans and Marlboro, has
i but three members left. Waifords
have. broke,n up and the players
joined other elevens.
Th* game, progressing under
expert handling, might suffer
unless some of the Capital City
League teams agree tn move
intn the Washington soccer loop.
This would h»»oy the latter cor-'
cult and place interest on an
even keel.
The Recreation League, super
vised by District playground offi
cials, Is also confronted by a prob
lem that requires decision. Last
year there were eight junior teams,
seven from the District and one
from Maryland. Games were played
every Saturday in this city. (

Griff men Take Cream of
Minneapolis Outfit
By Louis A. Dougher 7
The Washington Griffmen «re taking the cream of the
Minneapolis eiub, coming .ehampions of the American Associa
tion, and more than one of these athletes may be regulars
here next year.
Chief among those coming from*
the Millers are Adolph Lieka and
Paul McCullough, pitchers. Llska
Is a youngster with, a movement
much on the order of Carl Mays.
Griff has agreed to 325.900 and one
ballplayer for him. Mcditllough is a
right-hander who looks something
like Bump Hadley in general set-up. ,
This pair have, been the hig winners
all season with rhe Millers.
In addition to Linka antT Mc-<
Cutlough. President Griffith is
buying Grant Gills and exercis
ing his options of recall upon
Horace Lisenbee, Clayton Van
Alstyne and Jack "Mayes.
Lisenbee showed poor form for a
while after going to Minneapolis
but lately has found himself and
today is a winning pitcher. He
will be given another trial aj Tampa
next spring and it Is hoped that
he will regain the class he showed
in 1927.
.lack Hayes is credited with mak
ing the Millers a championship out
fit. His latest batting mark is
.356 and. working with Grant Gillis,
he Is fielding brilliantly around
second base. Hayes is certain of •
getting a real trial with the Griffs
next spring.
Gillis, who was sold- outright to
the Millers, this year, is hitting for
.311 and playing fine bull in the
field. Scout Engel recommended
that he be bought and it has been
done.
Van Alstyne has been used mostly
as a relief pitcher with the Millers,
being a strong, rugged fellow. He
will lye' 1 looked at again at Tampa
before a decision is made in’ h’s
case.
The Griffmen are Idling again
•today and tomorrow. Tomor
row night they leave lor Massil
lon. Ohio, where, they have an
exhibition gapt* carded for Fri
day. That night they will jour
ney on to Detroit, where on
Saturday they open their final
Western tour.
Fourteen games remain on the
schedule for the Harris gang. Four
with the Tigers will be. followed by
three each in Cleveland and Chi
cago and the tour and campaign
will end at St. Louis, where four
games ate to be played with the
Browns. “*
The Griffs are battling to finish
In fourth place. Chicago, Detroit
and Cleveland provide the liveliest
of competition and the. result will
hardly be known until the final
series. The Griffs want that fourth
place slice of the world series melon.
So do the others.

GROVE
By Les Conklm
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—The
high-flying Yankees declare
they will bury the Athletics
once and for all by making it
four straight at Tankee Sta
dium this afternoon. W, Hoyt,
prominent' Brooklyn under
taker, will conduct the ser
vices.
-The bunt that failed” gave tha
Yanks the third game- 5 to
snapped R. Moses Grove’s 14-game
winning streak, and ruined the at
tempt of Moses to lead the A's out
of the wilderness in which they
have followed for 14 years.
The score was tied and Gehrig
was oh second base. Manager
Huggins ordered Ruth to at
tempt a sacrifice on the first
pitch, and then to swing if the
hunt failed. The bunt was foul
by inches. Grove expected an
other one and pitched accord
ingly. instead the ball sailed
into the bleachers for the great
Barn’s forty-ninth homer.
The wallop marked tha end of
the straw hat season id New York.
The diamond was littered with
summer lids. s
The lead of the Yanks Is now
two and one-half games, - the same
as the margin of the Cardinal’s
over the Giants in the National
League. The Cards trimmed the
Rede. 6 to 3; but the Giants an
nexed „ their second consecutive
double-header from, the Braves and
went into second place ahead of
the Cubs. '
Haines pitched for St. "Louis. The
Reds clicked off their 175t1v double
plav of the season, shattering the
National League record.
In two-timing Boston, 11 to *
and 7 to 9, the Giants collected S«
hits, of which Lindstrom' made
eight. Jack Scott went the route
for the Giants in the opener, but
Benton had to rescue Hubbell in
the ninth inning of the nightcap.
Patrick Percival Malone, of the
Cubs, subdued the Pirates, 4 to 1,
and drove in four runs to boot.
Five Pittsburgh pitchers took a
shellacking.
After beating the Phillies, 7 tn 2.
Brooklyn suffered a 4-to-3 setback
at the hands of Johnny Milligan,
ex-collegian who once pitched far
above Cayuga‘s waters. In the
nightcap Vance pitched iust one
ball and was charged with the
defeat. Leach hit the Daxzler's
first pitch into the bleachers.
A homer by Johnny Stone, rookie
outfielder, staked Detroit to a 7 to-H
win over the White Sox.
