GR|FFS OPEN
SERIES WITH
YANKEES
By GARRETT WATERS

The Griffs begin their crucial
series with the New York Yankees
today. One game is scheduled
this afternoon at Griffith Sta
dium, while two are on tap to-
morrow and one Sunday before
the dust of battle is completed.
These games with the Yankees,
by the way, mean that second
place will be practically snatched
by the winner Of the series.
The Griffs at the present mo-
ment hold the lead by one and
one-half games. Many may feel
that the YankS will never catch
up or pass Manager JohnSon's
men at the rate they're going
right now, but plenty can happen
in space too short to imagine.
Thus, the Importance Of the con-
tests.
All of the Griffs argue that
the Yanks were completely
stopped after that game in New
York last Monday. They'll
never catch us now." is what
they say.
The reason? Because said
Griffmen took everything the
Yanks had to offer and beat
them in the face of defeat.
Manager Johnson plans stick
ing to his pitching plans for the
series, announced yesterday. Fred
Marberry, sore arm all gone, is
to take the mound today.
Crowder Looks Good
Brown and Fischer will work
the double-hea tomorrow, while
General Alvin Crowder is to be
shot back Sunday, after only
three days rest which he will
have had by that time.
In regards to Crowder, john
son has this to say:
"The General seems to thrive
on a great deal of work. At
least, that's the conclusion in
view of crrfOrtS of late. There's
nobody who wants to see the
General win more than 1 do.
And his recent victories GER
tainIy have been encouraging"
The Griffs are in a joyous
mood these days. It's quite like
the spirit they toted around with
them during their winning days
of May and early June.
A couple of weeks ago they
might have given out the impres-
sion that they had lost their
grip on everything-including Sec
ond place. But not now, or since
their winning rays of the past
week.

Mrs. Helen Wills Moody was

month.

invasion of eastern tennis courts
where she again acquired the ma
tional women's title which she
relinquished by not playing last
year, the champion Smilingly dis

her home before leaving early IN
October for a tour of the Orient

Moody will go on business

Won't Fight Palookas

Will Tunney, if he does hit
the back track, work his way
up to Schmeling via Campolo,
Walker, Carnera, Loughran and
Sharkey? We believe he will
NOT.
We believe Tunney would
come back to the ring for only
one purpose crack at Max
Schmeling with the opportunity
it would carry to restore the
heavyweight title to the United
States of America-long may it
wave!
You won't catch Tunney med
dim with the likes of the sex
tet mentioned above for the
hollow victories their meetings
would imply, say nothing OF
the mediocre purses which
would result. We say mediocre
in a comparative sense only,
because we believe a Schme-
ling-Tunney fight might pull
one of those old-fashioned Tex
Rickard gates which were won
to run into seven figures
whereas Tunney against a
fair.to-middlin' antagonist
wouldn't draw even very fancy
six figures. His drawing power
against Heeney, his last fight,
was nil.
And as to the winner of a
Tunney-Schmeling fight; well
at this stage and even before
the match is made one must
pick Tunney on every count OF
the indictment.

LAD THRILLED
OVER MATCH
WITH VET
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

BEVERLY COUNTRY CLUB,
CHICAGO, Sept. A slim,
blond, smiling boy of 10, Billy
Howell, Of Richmond, Va:
Francis Ouimet, the 38-year-old
veteran of Boston; courageous
Maurice j. Mccarthy, jr., for.
mer Georgetown U. star, and
Jack Westland, Chicago'S district
champion, are today the semi.
finalists in the thirty-fifth ma.
tional amateur golf champion
ship.
None Of the four gets a bigger
"kick" out of reaching the semi
finals than does 19-year-old Billy
Howell. He admits it. He's just
one Of those frank, open-faced
boys who slips over to the press
tent after his matches to read
what a newspaper friend from
Richmond dispatches to his news
paper back home.
He's keyed up over the idea Of
him, a comparative unknown,
clashing today with the famous
Ouimet, who won the national
amateur way back in 1914.
Mccarthy and Westland will
met in the other match. Howell
and Ouimet will tee off at $50
this morning and Mccarthy and
Westland Is minutes later. Both
will be 36-hole matches.
Ouimet Easy Winner
Ouimet won his way to the
semi-finals by verwh e ming
young Paul jackson, Of Kansas
City, Z and 6, their match end
ing at the thirteenth hole.
Mccarthy scored almost as
easy a victory over Fay Cole
man, of Los Angeles whom he
defeated 6 and 5. Mccarthy
gave a great exhibition Of golf
by playing the morning round
in par II which is q feat on
a course as battling and diff
cult as Beverly.
Westland had the toughest
time of any of the four in reach
ing the semi-finals. He won,

Experience, fighting ability
and his style against the
Schmeling type-not. unlike
Dempsey in method but with
out the Dempsey punch-give
Tunney the edge. although
Schmeling is as courageous and
as cool a fighter as we've had
in modern times.
Anyway, we shall see later
about this pair and in the
meantime the match is remote
enough to leave for the moment
for other subjects.
Arthur A. Caulkette, 1928 A
st. N. w., writes to suggest a
post-season game for unemploy-
ment between the Griffmen and
the team that finishes in a
similar position in the National
League.
Too. Fred Pelzman, Ninth
and E Streets, wishes to know
what has become of his spring
time suggestion for a Sammy
Rice Day at Griffith Stadium.
Both are worthy ideas and if
either is staged, this space
promises plenty of support for
them-if that means anything.

WOOD MAY
RACE HERE

L. Gordon Leech, secretary of
the President Cups Regatta Com
mittee, left today for Detroit and
the Hamsworth Trophy races to
invite Gar Wood, U. S. speed boat
wizard, and Kaye Don, his British
rival, to stage an exhibition in
conjunction with the cup regatta
here September 18 and 10.
Both Speedsters have signified
their willingness to appear here
in an exhibition race. Don is
the present holder of the rec
ord, having achieved the ter
rifle pace of ITO miles an hour
in Miss England III over month
ago.
Loretta Turnbull, the famous
woman speed-boat driver, who was
badly hurt in an accident some
months ago, is now recovered
from it, and may also race here.
The Washington times., 1931-09-04

Ernie has been saying nothing
but knocking out somebody every
two weeks while Jack has been
talking plenty but fighting only
once a year.
Johnny Buckley, the rotund lit
tie man who manages both Shar-
key and Schaaf, is perhaps the
best judge of the relative abil-
ity of the two leather-pushers
After Schaaf pole-axed Vic Cam
polo into submission here the
other night, the writer asked
Buckley ether he thought
Schaaf was a better man than
Sharkey, Gungha Din.
Instead of parrying this rather
embarrassing query, John shot
straight back from the shoulder
as follows:
"It'S my honest opinion that
Schaaf, right now, is not ready
to fight a man like Sharkey.
But two years from today,
Schaaf probably will be the bet
ter man.
Ernie is only ~, six years
younger than Jack. And Jack
has had at least four more
years. experience than Ernie.
"Schaaf could give Sharkey
a tough fight right now but
Sharkey, with his greater ex-
perience, probably would out
point him.
"Ernie'S improvement is largely
due to the coaching Jack has
given him. I would say that
this tutoring by Sharkey las
been worth $5OO,OOO to Schaaf."
sharkey himself has his doubts
as to whether he could lick
Schaaf. He admitted as much
the other night.
If Sharkey follows up his mega,
tive performance against Walker
with a poor showing against
Primo Carnera on october /,
Buckley may send Schaaf, his left
bower, after the Ambling Alp.
The truth is that there is no
outstanding opponent for Schaaf
right now. Charley Retzlaff was
eliminated as a prospective oppo-
nent by his unexpected defeat at
the hands of Joe Sekyra, Tues
day night.
Shy of Schaaf
The handlers of Stanley Poreda
and Steve HamaS would hardly
dare to risk a similar catastrophe
by sending these promising pros
poets against Schaaf.
Ind even Jack Dempsey,
should he fight himself back
into shape, would think twice
before tackIing such a rugged
citizen rs Ernie. Mickey Wal
ker, hot after a title match
with Schmeling, wouldn't be
bothered with such a match.
Schaaf is willing to take an
other crack at Tommy Loughran,
his only conqueror in the last
two years. Promoter Jimmy
Johnston is trying to make the
match for Emmets Field for
September % or %. But Schaaf
is holding out for IL or Is
rounds, while Tom doesn't care
to step more than ten heats.
To get work, Ernie may have
to fight Sekyra in Boston next
month, which would be one Of
those Everything to lose and
nothing to gain" matches.
