MOSCOW, Feb. 16.-Church lead

their fellow-sky pilots in other coun-
tries to lay off the propaganda
against the workers government
because this is tending to ALLEVIATE
the working and peasant masses.
The Metropolitans Sergius and
Serafim of the church in the Soviet
union issued statement declaring
that the unity of the pope, the arch
bishop of canterbury and all other
enemies of the Soviet Union is driv-

The Metropoltans especially at
tackled the pope for aligning himself
with the English landlords, and the
French nd Italian capitalists.
They denied that priests and men,
bers of congregations were perse-
cuted because Of their religious be-
liefs, and said they were only pun

crimes. Some churches were being

TODAY'S SPORTORIAL
BY Kirk Miller

If you're passing near the vi
cinity of Seventh Street and
Florida Avenue some of these
fine autumn days and hear
lot of cheering and other com
motion over in the vicinity of
the ball park, don't let your
curiosity get the better of you
because there is no ball game
in progress.
That is to say, there is no
real ball game going on in the
yard where the game is gen
orally played in season, but
that has nothing to do with
the miniature game going on
up on the second floor of the
club building where Owner
Griffith has his sanctum and
where he and Manager John
son are prone to gather Of
mornings to discuss this and
that.
Yes. they discuss a lot of
trades they'd like to make,
most of 'em impossible because
the other clubs won't give in
return what the team of John.
son and Griffith want to get,
and so when they have fin.
iShed day dreaming of the play
ers which would make a cham
piOnShip team for them in
1931-and it wouldn't take but
about one right-hand hitting
outfielder and a pitcher or two
to do it-Owner Griffith pulls
out the right hand bottom
desk drawer and produces an
oblong box, vividly decorative
and highly suggestive of what
any 10 or 12-year-old boy might
expect to find under Christ
mas tree on the morning Of
you guessed it-December rs.
Can you imagine those two
grown men up there devoting
half their mornings to an ordi-
nary child'S game, where you
spin a top and move imagina-
tive men around paSteboard
ball field. according to how the
top rests when it stops spinning?
Well, that is the picture I ran
onto while doing a bit of morn
ing prowling out there where a
few weeks back they were hav-
ing a great advance sale as
against an impending Sunday
visit Of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics.
You see, Walter has invented
a baseball game that can be
played on your parlor table and
he's been trying it out on the
Old Fox. Walter figures the Old
Fox is somewhat foolproof, par
ticularly about matters pertain
ing to baseball. and when he
sees Griff'S eyes light as he tries
to spin one of his players around
the bases, and when he sees the
Old Fox roofing for a strike-out
for his imaginary Ted Lyons
and a home run for his former
/ hobby. Goose Goslin. then Wal
ter knows he has a toy for every
child AID grown-up that is next
to the real article itself.
The Washington times., 1930-10-14

This particular morning Grl11
and Johnson were in the midst
of an extra-inning game, the
score being p in the four
teenth inning and Griff's side
was at the bat.
Griff had taken the line
up which Babe Ruth selected
recently for the Washington
Times All-America contest and
johnson had taken his own
Washington lineup, with the
exception of Joe Cronin, who
was playing on the Ruth team,
think johnson was playing
Glenn Wright in short. but
the rest of Johnson's team held
the local regulars intact.
1t was the most realistic
thing you ever saw off a ball
field in your life. Hack Will
son was at the bat for Griff's
and Ruth's All-Americas and
Alvin Crowder was pitching.
AS we say, the score was
tied and there were two out
and a man on first, and
Griff was roofing for Hack
Wilson to come through with
a three-bagger or even a dou-
Bile, in an effort to score his
man from first.
Mrs. King, of the club secre-
tariat, and Miss Mildred Rob
ertson were roofing for John.
sons team and Uncle Billy
Smith and Eddie Eynon were
siding with Griff. and the sit
uation was what you might call
very tense indeed-oh, all of
that! Griff spun the top and
Hack Wilson fouled back one
that Spencer couldn't get.
Then Crowder grooved over a
strike, and then three straight
balls.
Griff's eyes sparkled and
johnson sort of fidgeted in his
chair and then Crowder made
Hack foul off another one.
Come on Hack!" Griff roared
as he spun the top again and
Johnson bent over very close
to the top to read the play.
Wilson struck out!
Griff put up an awful roar
and started to condemn the
National League in. general,
and then Johnson's team went
to the bat and scored a run
off three spins of the top, and
the game was over.
Well" drawled johnson, in
that characteristic way of his,
IF this durn trick can get an
old geezer like Griff worked
up into a froth, / guess it's
pretty good"
And, turning to Gray Wal
tiers, he ordered: Have q mil
lion of these games made up
for the Christmas trade and
make out ar itinerary for me
to go to Chicago, New York
and the other big cities to per-
sonally demonstrate them just
as soon as I get that new
chicken pen completed out at
