Griffs were cracking under the
strain and could hold out not much
longer in the nerve-racking race
with the Yankees and Tigers. Tt
was one of several bad guesses the
leader Of the Giants has made in
his long career. True enough, the
Griffs had slowed up some but they
were just beginning to show the
remarkable fighting spirit that was
to carry them on and on and on.
At this period the Yankees had
only one-game lead, but were
confident that II would be increased
as the race progressed. The YAM
KEGS were not taking the Griffmen
very seriously. -

4 AND AFTER
-By ROSS CoNKLIN-

Lots of good ones are attending
golfers wake for young men
who failed to qualify in the Rock
Creek Park golf tournament. Just
how many, no one knows, but the
generally accepted caIiber of their
game more than makes up for
the smallness of their numbers.
Among the chief mourners is Mr..
Harry G. Pitt, erstwhile champion.
ship contender. Harry, aided and
abetted by his gang. went around
the course. taking altogether too
many blows for the trip. Harrys
since one would have been suffi.
cieut he can be called profligate.
Charlie Cole is another Of the
good ones who failed to make the
grade. Charlie found Rock Creeks
cement-IiIke fairways not SO good.
The sun has baked the course
and masI1ie shots and slightly
hooked or sliced tee shots are
suicide. Charles grand total
was SO, which was four too much.
]. j. Lynch, one Of the prominent
senii-finalists in the Times cham
pionship tournament at East Pc.
tomac Park, was another. Joe
Cox, he of the four-putt green at
East Potomac, also failed to get up
the hill to the club house. Since
this paper is limited to given
number of pages, no more of those
who flunked can~be named.
There developed a tie for the
last two positions in the tourney.
Louis Fuchs a fourteen-year-old
youngster; Johnny Downey, who
sports as mean head of matinee
