Yes sir, Walter is frankly dis

over the showing of my club"
he said today. 81 honestly be-
lieved we would win out when
the race started.
"What's more, 1 can't explain
our failure to do better. / know
that poor pitching and the ina

but why these athletes sIumped

81 have often heard veteran
baseball men remark that the
game is the same today as it
was 20 years ago but that the
players are far different. I've
never put much stock intO that,
but now I'm inclined to agree.
'To my way of thinking, the
modern player is the biggest
sport mystery of this or any
other era. He just can't be
figured out.
During most Of my 20 year
career as a pitcher, if a player
was good one season, he could
be counted upon to be just as
good, if not better the follow
ing season. But not in these
days. A player is q major
league star one season, but not
good enough to play Class b
ball the next, while another
looks like he would never make
the grade one year, and de-

former the following year.

were invincible on the green, with
one or the other getting down in

on the green's, say many experts,
and here's one evidence Of that
statement.
The match had its humorous
incident. Max Weyl'S father,

landed q few inches from his
dad. The elder Weyl followed

Of Howard Nordlinger, was so in.

that she failed to achieve a high
score in the women's driving con-
test.

Woodmont, was so excited over
the victory he almost forgot he
had won a prize for finishing sec

AccoSting us of the matter,

paper.
Now this rlmor went so big
and was such a tasty tidbit
that ultimately it reached the
ball club out West where it
was having very tough shedding,
indeed, and one misled scribe
shot the works with nothing in
the world to SubStantiate his
statments. My friends, that IS
not a high grade piece of news
paper practice. In fact it is
very unfair to the public and
more unfair to the ball team
concerned. =
The same author of that
piece is the gentleman who ap-
priSed the world twenty or so
months back that Walter John
son and Goose Goslin were
friendly enemies and that such
a condition was at the base of
GoSlin's then contract trouble.
johnson, Goslin and the club
officials all denied this and,
with the exception of Goslin,
the same Griff personages deny
now the dissenSion accusation.
The Washington times., 1931-08-31
No Excuse Needed

Fans are all too ready to
make excuses for a ball club
that isn't exactly living up to
expectations. The rumor mon
gers can imagine more excuses
when excuses aren't really ne
cessary-it being perfectly plain
to see on the field what is the
trouble without manufacturing
locker room and bench quarrels
to alibi a slipping combination.
If pitchers are rotten, you
can see it on the field, you
don't have to picture the
pitcher sticking his tongue out
at the outfielders as he winds
up to pitch a ball. If Wash.
ington had a championship
team, there might be logic in
probing into the relationships
Of the playerS-who, after all,
aren't supposed to kiss each
other good night, nor tuck
each other in bed.
Furthermore, if there were
diSSension on a ball club, no
one newspaper man out of
many living with the club
would discover 1t exclusively
it would be an open book
which all would see.

The hurting of such accusa-

friendly gesture nor is it a
sportSmanlike thing to do to a

its head above water, such as
the Griffmen are doing. Were
it the truth, this thing would

the story teller out with the

its his duty to get all the

CRUCIAL TEST
THIS WEEK
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

Times Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-n the
Griffmen get the right pitching
they're liable to finish this years
race in second place.
The burning question for Man
ager JohnSon's men, as they open
their series with the Yanks with
a single game at the Yankee sta
dium today and conclude with
games Friday, Saturday and Sun.
day at Griffith Stadium, is will
the pitchers be able to come
through? Will they be able to
keep the team always in front Of
the charging Yanks?
Today's game will offer the
first test. Don't forget the tussles
listed with the AS tomorrow and
Wednesday. These will be as i'm
portant to win as those with the
Yanks.> In other words, Manager
Johnson's hurlers are to be up
against a crucial test this week.
Brown to Pitch
Manager johnson, unless he
changes his plans (and he has
been a man Of many changes
lately), has nominated Lefty
Lloyd Brown for mound duty to-
day.
Brown was supposed to have
started one Of the games in the
Red SOx series last week, but q
bruise on his pitching finger
kept him from 1t.
He is all right today, however.
Trainer Mike Martin has been
doctoring the injured digit. He
hurt it in one Of the recent
games in the Detroit series.
If Lefty Lloyd can hurl like
he has of recently, then a VIC
tory should be chalked up for the
Griffs today. However, too much
can't be taken for granted IN
view of the spasmodic work OF
the Griff pitchers as a whole dur
ing the past month.
johnson hasn't announced his
pitching plans for the games
against the AS in Philadelphia
tomorrow and Wednesday. Bump
Hadley is a probable starter be-
cause of his good work always
against the AS in the past.
Home Stand Soon
The Griffmen won't be much
of a home team from now on
until Thursday, September 10.
After they appear at Griffith
Stadium against the Yankees the
latter part of this week, they're
scheduled to strike out again
next Sunday night, when they'll
be in Boston for two games
Labor Day, and then Philadel
phia on the Tuesday and Wednes-
day following.
This will bring them down to
September 10, when the Western
clubs will make their final
invasion Of Griffith Stadium.
Cleveland will be the first
team, followed by st. Louis,
Detroit and Chicago in that
order.
The Griffs kept pace with the |
Yankees in the now-importallt |
battle for second place honors
by defeating the AS yesterday,
5 to /, before a crowd Of $4,000,
while the Yankees were winning
at Boston, IA to 4.
Alvin Crowder did the uneX-
pected and turned in a we'll
pitched game, setting Connie
Mack's men down with seven hits
while the Griffs jumped on
