TaMMsBfIMMW They’ll Give You Isle If Fish Don’t Bite at Chincoteague By KIRK MILLER Times Sports Editor While the Griffmen were dropping those three games to the Chicago White Sox, your humble servant’s back was Quite turned, fishing in the blue Atlantic waters off the ‘.................. /S! Island of Chincoteague (Va.) 50 miles Kirk Miller villagers whose main concern is the coming and going of the tides and the annual pony penning which occurs the fourth Thursday of each July and has been so sustaining for the past 250 years. Year Starts and Ends With Pony Penning That the President of the United States had landed in Hawaii and had received a reception such as only the natives of our Pacific possessions with their picturesque has and unforgettable South Sea serenade, “Aloha,” can bestow upon those who make theirs a port of call, was nothing in the life of forty-five hundred Chincoteague Islanders to whom their annual pony penning is nothing short of an occasion on which to start a new calendar. That the thermometer daily hit the hundred mark on the main land and throughout the major portion of America, was not an item of interest on the Eastern Shore counties of Virginia, Accomack and Northampton. It is always cool in Chincoteague, where the winds sweep in from the broad ocean’s bosom, and even in late July you reach for cover at nights. Life is plain and easy and simple at Chincoteague. There the name of Denny Shute and Babe Ruth or Cliff Bolton are merely myths. There may be such people as those, but over at Chincoteague nobody would take the trouble to prove it. The world goes by and the days come and go, and either the fish do bite or they don’t and it looks like a good crop of oysters and clams. That’s all that matters. A Haven From Grief And perhaps there’s the main reason in not few enough well-chosen paragraphs, why Chincoteague is a good retreat to seek when your ball club is between and 75 east of Washington via the Annapolis ferry and some lightning fast Delaware, Maryland and Virginia automobile roads. Primitive as Welsh fishing colonists, the Chincoteagueans have no worries. That an Austrian chancellor was assassinated and that Washington was taking a sound licking three times out of four from the lowest putsch in the American League and was ending a disastrous road trip wherein five out of 20 games were irreparably and ignobly lost, means nothing to the quaint thing bashed on the rocks of despair by the likes of Chicago and other American League ways stations. Besides the blues are taking a spoon with vigor and venom and they are running in good sizes from a pound to three and four while the porgies are so hungry they don’t even wait for your sinker to strike bottom. The kingfish, still small, of the lucious pan size, as are the trout and perch, will give you as good a day’s fun as you’ll get for two dollars and a half if you’re fishing on bottom between three and six of (Continued on Page 5, Col.

J., July 28.—The Washington Canoe Club will de fend its national crown in the two-day regatta on the Delaware River off the Trenton Yacht Club today and tomorrow. The District of Columbia canoeists, led by Harry Knight, will endeavor to capture their third successive title. Ernie Riedel, Pendleton captain, will paddle in his one-man double-blade senior specialty over the 800-meter course tomorrow. He will be sent to Chattanooga or Albany to finish out the season.

He started as a big leaguer, with Augusterfer the victim. DRESSEN TAKES OVER REDS CINCINNATI, O., July 28. Charley Dressen, pilot of the Nashville club in Tennessee, tomorrow was to take over the reins of the last-place Cincinnati Reds to succeed Bob O’Farrell as manager. Dissatisfied with the Reds’ showing under O’Farrell, Larry MacPhail, general manager of the National League club flew to Nashville to complete the deal yesterday. with the Chicago White Sox several years ago. He was a shortstop then, but later turned to the mask and protector when the Chisox had their entire catching department on the sidelines due to injuries. Bolton arrived at Griff headquarters today and immediately was scheduled to meet the National League. VETS WILL SEE BOXING SHOW MONDAY Natie Brown and Don Petrin square off for their 10-round engagement at Griffith Stadium Monday night, according to the revised card. Part of the proceeds will be given to the local Veterans of Foreign Wars. That between 1,500 and 2,000 lusty voiced Veterans will be on hand to make a success of the show was vouched for this morning by Comdr. Nathan D. Golden, of the District Division. The band will entertain at 7 o’clock. An ideal boxer-nslugger arrangement revolves around the eight-round semifinal which finds Frankie Fullam, former Catholic University ring captain and past master in science and speed, pitted against belting Bob Turner, Norfolk’s middleweight knocker out de luxe. Due to a disagreement on weight, Roy Manley today pulled out of his six-round bout with Tony Dominguez, Billy Bullock and Young Firpo, the latter an Annapolis lightweight, being substituted. Joe Green pairs off with Buddy Grimes and Freddy Heintz meets Henry Irving in remaining sixes. HITS NO. 23 When Mel Ott smacked his twenty-third home run, against the Cincinnati Reds, the New York Giant clouter equaled his entire season’s homer record for 1933 and drove across the plate his ninety-eighth run of the present campaign. went into conference with President Clark Griffith. The young catcher expressed himself as being happy to be back and hoped to carry on right where he left off in 1933. The former Chattanooga receiver appeared in the best of condition. 3jfrA<'.. :. -', JP~ B SMkhggV ; \/ • bEW • * '?'v ;' '< Wjr K .aaOBB. jfl K jfl ■ IP" '■ 4KK 1 ®kx HF til v 1 J I I - :\< ■ > , •• s xs x< v v *>' ■KT BL <BW t w I J z ■ ■ \'x<js x#s i ’� BL <BW t w I J z ■ ■ \'x<js x#s i ’� BL <BW t w I J z ■ ■ \'x<js x#s i ’� BL <BW t w I J z ■ ■ \'x<js x#s i ’� BL <BW t w I J z ■ ■ \'x<js x#s i ’� BL  the old jerseys which have been used in variety play for the last time.

O'Neill Rates Bluege Best Utility Man in American League By FRANK (“BUCK”) O’NEILL Times Staff Writer You can walk right up now and shake hands with this writer’s nomination for the crack all-around utility man of the American League. His name is Oswald Bluege. The hammer strokes of Cecil Travis chaimed Bluege to the bench this year after more than a decade of continuous service with Washington. Try as he would, swing hard or otherwise, Bluege could not match the batting pace of Travis. So he sat on the bench and waited. One by one the regulars fell. Then one day in St. Louis when the thermometer climbed to the hot and copper skies of the Mississippi! Valley, the chance came! Manush was out with a strained leg. Sheriff! Dave Harris was riding a vicious charley horse that bucked like the top bronco in Eddie McCarthy’s string. Joe Cronin looked over the boys on the bench and told Bluege that he was a left fielder. Not only he was the left-field est fielder that ever left fielded, and Ossie allowed as how that was absolutely right. Bluege ran into the fence chasing the first ball hit to him and whacked his skull against the barrier. In view of what subsequently happened to Earle B. Combs of the Yankees in St. Louis, Bluege was very lucky. Ossie’s Real Ability However, he suffered a minor concussion, and had to be relieved. In Chicago, Bluege went back into the game and discharged his duties with real ability. Now please to remember that Bluege had never played out of the infield before. He was up on his toes, and gave the fans a laugh when he chased a fly to the foul line, waving away imaginary interlopers, and shouting lustily, “I’ll take it, Joe.” Mr. Cronin, the “Joe” of Bluege’s shouts, was on the infield at the time. It is ball players of the type of Ossie Bluege who make championship teams. He will never be the equal in all-around ability of Roger Bresnahan, who started as a pitcher and worked around via third base and center field to develop into one of the greatest receivers of all time. In fact, John J. McGraw told this writer many times that Bresnahan was the greatest he had ever seen. Team Home Again But Bluege will do. He will lie with the team next year in one capacity or another, for he is not yet ready for placement in the category of trading timber. The Griffmen are home today and tomorrow after their doleful trip through the West. They play a double header with the Boston Red Sox, who will tell the wide-eyed world that they’re going to finish third or better. Ed Linke, who made a successful debut in St. Louis, will pitch for the Griffs tomorrow. And as long as we’re dishing the dope on pitchers, Alex McColl will start against the Athletics on Monday up in Quakertown. McColl looked a great deal more like a pitcher in his work for the Griffs than some of those highly touted boys of so-called regular rating. Tohonor Tolins Nanty-Glo. Pa., near Johnstown, will honor James "Rip" Collins. St. Louis Cardinals first baseman, at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, where the Redbirds play the Pirates, Collins was born at Altoona and has many admirers in the western Pennsylvania coal regions.
