woeful condition of the team at
this time.
Connie Mack is unable to pre-
sent his strongest lineup these
days because of injuries and ILL
nesses to several of his stars.
In fact. so numerous are the
ailments that Manager Mack is
forced to use Pitcher Eddie Rom
mel in left field-a situation that
does not help the offense or de-
fense any too much.
The lean leader figured that
most of his troubles would be
over with the return of his slug
ging star, Al Simmons to the line.
up. But 10. when AL reported
from Milwaukee where he has
been for a couple of weeks to
rest, Mack found him II pounds
overweight, and far from his best
condition.
To top this off, Jim Moore, big
outfielder, substituting for Sim
mons in left field, hurt his leg
in a recent series with the BoS-
ton Red Sox, which brought about
the necessity of inserting Rom
mel into the lineup.
The AS look like a second
division team today with their
present lineup. One day Foxx
holds down first base. The next
day he's at third with Todt on
first. Other days, McNair, Will

TO OPPOSE.
EARNSHAW
By GARRETT WATERS

ELP HIA. Sept. 9
When the Griffmen unloaded
their baggage here for their two
games with the AS. they mad
two aims in mind. One was to
gain little ground on the
Yankees. who are idling; the
other to "take" the season S
series with the AS, which stood
10 victories and 10 losses apiece
up to yesterday.
Yesterdays 1O-to-1 loss at the
hands Of Grove and Company,
however, changes the complexion
of things. Instead of gaining
on the Yanks in the battle for
second place honors, the Griffs
find themselves only half a game
ahead of their rivals. and they
realize the best they can do
against the AS for the season is
to win this afternoons game to
make the series between the two
teams read II and IL. 1t will
be the last occasion on which
the AS and Griffs meet this
year.
That's what Manager Johnson's
men have in mind to Go. Also
they know they must win in or
Ger to return to Griffith Stadium
tomorrow as second place holders.
'It would have helped a great
deal to have won that game yes
terday," said Manager Walter
Johnson today. But we didn't,
SO it's up to us to show we still
have a little mettle left"
Johnson plans sending Crowder
against the AS today. The Gen
eral will have to heac down
plenty as George Earnshaw is
slated to oppose him.
"CrOwder should win, If his
past performances of recent
date mean anything, Manager
Johnson figures. 81 really think
that the General has at last
come into his own. Pm pin
ming our hopes on him today"
It's really a shame that the
Griffs could not win yesterday
A victory would have increased
their lead over the idling Yanks
to two and one-half games with
the possibilities of it being in
creased to three and one-half by
another victory today.
AS it now stands, triumph to-
day will only bring the Griffs
home holding the same one-and-
one-half game lead that they held
before they left last Sunday.

RIVALS
By MICHAEL J. FOSTER

BY MACbAEL y. rOOA En-
FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. Q.
Rabbits feet, buckeyes. four-leaf
clovers, and all the other tokens
by which the Goddess Of Fortune
is wooed were quite the vogue out
in Forest Hills today.
After what happened to Sidney
Wood and Pat Hughes yesterday,
the favorites we're not taking any
chances on Just skill and stamina
to pull them through their four
round tests in the mems national
tennis championships. They were
out to ally themselves with Lady
Luck, as well.
What Can Happen?
If Frank Bowden, New York,
who never won a really important
match in his life, could upset the
Wimbledon champion, and If Rob
ert Bryan, a Southerner making
his first appearance in the titular
tournament, could trounce the
highly-rated British Davis Cup
ace, Pat Hughes, then what can't
happen to Ellsworth Vines, Frank
Shields, Johnny Doeg, and the
other favorites?
Vines plays the always danger
Gus Gil Hall; Fred Perry tackles
the deceivingly SOft-strOking Cliff
Sutter; Frank Shields opposes
dynamic Keith Gledhill, and
Johnny DOeg crosses racquetS
with the never tiring Bryan
Grant. There's a mine full of
upset explosive in every one of
these matches.
Nor can Johnny Van RYn
count his match with Christian
Boussus in the victory column in
advance, nor George Lott his
contest with Gregory Mangin.
And Bryan may well add Berkeley
Bell to his list of upset victims,
just as Clayton Lee Burwell looks
to be in for a very busy after.
noon with Woods conqueror,
Bowden.
Bowden's and Bryan's upsets
have changed the outlook of the
seeded stars very radically.
Margin Threatens
Lott is the boy who has to look
sharpest to his laurels. Greg
Mangin looked like the proverbial
million dollars" taking Andre
Merlin over the jumps and if he
volleys and handles his ground
strikes against the Davis cup ace
as we'll as he did against the
Frenchman, Lott may be listed
with the beaten favorites by this
evening
Our very-much.beaten cham.
piOn, Johnny DOeg, almost
stumbled again when he was
forced to four sets by Ned
HerndOn after Eddie Jacobs
had made him go five on Labor
Day. Perhaps Bryan Grant,
the tireIes- southern midget
who ne so close to beating
him at Seabright, will be able
to turn the trick today.
Then there's this fellow Perry.
OF course he trounced Sutter at
Rye, and he seems to be the class
of the tournament outside Of
Vines and Shields, but don't bet
too heavily on him against Sut-
ter.
BousSus' tricky left-handed ser
vice, and his very decisive over
head game, are what Johnny Van
Ryn must beware. And Vines
had better see to it that Halls
dynamite service and terrific driv-
ing game don't catch him off his
guard.
Bell thought he was going to
have it pretty soft up to his
quarter-final match with Vines
after he had beaten Allison, but
lefty Bryan is no "softie," Judg-
ing by his victory over Hughes.
Berk will have to play his hard

league. Connie Mack is in
reality counting the moments
when he will have his full
strength again: Simmons in
leftfield. Bishop on second base,
BOley at short, Dykes at third
and Haas in center.
Things will shape up this way,
according to Mack. with the ex-
ception of Haas. This player is
figured out for the remainder
of the season because of his
fractured wrist. All of which
means that Manager Mack will
be forced to go into the world
series with Roger Cramer as his
center fielder.
The AS should never have
beaten the Griffmen yesterday,
10 to /, with the team they had
on the field. Manager Johnson's
men looked better than the AS
with the exception of the pitcher,
which had Grove on the mound
for the AS and Jones the hurler
for Washington.
The Griffs might have won
had not Jones faltered in the
seventh inning. Sad Sam hurled
beautiful ball until the stand
up frame, battling Grove for all
he was worth and having
grand opportunity of finally
winning with two more innings
to go.
But the seventh proved
his downfall. Grove started
Jones' rOut when he singled
across Miller and Williams
with two out. This started
an avalanche of PhiIadel-
phia baSehits which did not
end before six more runs
had been driven across the
plate.
The AS were able to get but
three hits off Sad Sam before
the seventh. Two were quite
timely, however, as they scored
two runs, which gave Grove and
his team a 2-to-1 advantage to
work upon. These came in the
second when Foxx singled and
Williams homered.
Jones singled across Bluege
with the lone Griff run of the
day. There wasn't any use try
ing for more after the AS sew
enth. The game was put in the
bag then If ever a contest was
ever safely tucked away.
The victory for Grove marked
his twenty-eighth Of the season,
bringing out the fact that the
AS can thank him hugely right
now for stepping in and win
ming for them just at a time
when they're finding it difficult
to do that little thing.

Adolph Hitler Aims At Dictatorship In

depicts France as Germany's chief enemy and England as her best friend.
 Hitlerism aims to appeal to as large an element as possible. which is indicated by the full name of the party, the National Socialist Ger man Workers party.
 Hitler repeatedly has emphasized the power of personality as the chief consideration of his move- ment, obviously the essence of dic- tatorship.
 How many of the above concepts still apply 1t is impossible to state.
 Nazi spokesmen emphasize that "circumstances alter cases" and what they are now asking amounts to a blank check to be filled in as warrants. Many of the ideas out lined were written by Hitler in jail after the failure of his 1923 "beer cellar" putsch. Incidentally, those killed in that movement, which aroused national ridicule, have been made Nazi heroes and their

 Strangely enough, the fact that Hitler is not a German citizen seems to figure little with his fol- levers. They emphasize that 1t is merely q technicality and that any way he fought as corporal in the German army. The latter is the reason why the Austrians dena- tionaliZed him.
 He undoubtedly has a command ing and theatric personality that keeps his adherents to him. In re- cent years he has been a vegeta- rian, does not smoke and drinks little. He wears Chaplinesque mustache. His most noticeable feature is his large, slightly pro- truding eyes, with a curious, inde- finable expression and the trick of lighting up, reminding me of Mus solini's, except that Hitler seldom looks directly into your eyes.
 When he speaks, his whole body lenses. He has a mellow, express sive baritone voice and has an as- tonishing, magnetic power over crowds. He was gassed in the war.
 Whatever his qualities. he is un- disputed Header of the numerically strongest party in Germany. In the 1880 general elections, the Nazis were second with 8,500,000 votes. compared to 8,500,000 for the social democrats. Meanwhile, however, the Nazis have gained heavily in every municipal and state election.

White House attaches were on the lookout to help the White House guests and make them happy.
 The president, In high good hu- nor, had luncheon with his rec united family, and then decided to go shopping himself and buy toys for Peggy Ann and Peter. He went into several shops, including Ia 6 10 cent store, and purchases ranged from marbles to dolls and a kitchen range for Peggy Ann.
 In his hours Christmas shopping tour the president, accompanied by his two sons, Herbert UT, and AL Ian and his law, rubbed shoulders with the usual Christmas throngs that packed the stores.
 Tn the "dime store," the presi- dent bought rubber animals, musi- cal tops and other odds and ends to make Peggy Ann and Peter happy when Santa Claus arrives at the White House Christmas morn- ing. Customers and clerks in some shops failed at first to recognize the distinguished patron, and the trip was most informal. The presi- dent seemed to enjoy 1t.
