Morgan is trying to get more hits
in order to lead the league in
batting; quite a state of affairs,
quite.
Ragged pitching on the part
of Griff moundsmen won the pair
of games for the Indians yester.
day. Jones and Crowder could
not halt Manager Peckinpaugh'S
men in the first game while
Sergt. John Connally hurled ex-
cellent ball after relieving Wesley
Ferrell in the fourth.
Never in Game
Three big innings won for the
Indians, the third, seventh and
eighth. Three runs were scored
in each of these frames, added
to one counted by virtue of
Averill's second homer in the
fifth totaling 10 runs.
The GriffS. were never in the
game after the fourth. They
matched the Indians, 3-3, up to
that time, but it did NO good,
as the final score brings out.
In the second game, three more
big innings proved beneficial to
the Indians. Three runs in the
fourth, two in the fifth and four
in the sixth turned out to be
enough to defeat the Griffs.
At this, Manager Johnson's
men jumped on Pitcher Clint
Brown in the seventh for five
runs to get in the game, 9-S, but
they were stoppedA by Relief
Pitcher Jablonowski, who hurled
the eighth and ninth.
Burke, Hadley, Fischer and
Brown were the Griff pitchers in
this second game. Hudlin started
for the Indians and was relieved
by the aforementioned hurlerS,
Brown and Jablonowski, before it
was over.

Meeting Lou Gehrig

He was Fred Buchholz, local

had been q girlhood friend OF
Lou Gehrig's mother-we be-
lieve over in Germany, but
wouldn't swear. to 1t.
Leastwise, Fred took us over
to where a big. pink checked boy
was lobbing 'em back and forth
with. Joe Dugan or somebody,
and we were introduced to Lou
Gehrig, who wasn't yet q big
Lacquer by a year or two, but
who sort of commuted between
New York and Hartford-Speak-
ing in q baseball sense.
"Give him q good wrtte-up,

"He's q coming star and . pal
Of mine"
Wed never heard Of Gehrig,
Int we were frank enough to
say, entire nous, to BuchhOlz:
''If he's q coming star, he won't
have to ask me or any other
sport writer to give him o boost.
If he's all you say he is, you
can't hire any Of us to forget to

SUPERIORITY
At NETS

FOREST HILLS, N. T., Aug.
20.-There's still q big gap be-
tween Mrs. Helen Wills Moody
and the rest Of the women ten
mis- stars Of the world. The
great Moody's match with Joan
Ridley yesterday in the third
round Of the women's national
championships proved that.
England's Wightman Cup COR
phan" made fairly good progress
against the world champion in
the first set. Capturing three
games so that the match really
resembled a contest.
But then storm clouds began
to gather over the West Side
Tennis Club Stadium, and it
looked as If Mrs. Moody wouldn't
get her victory across in time,
and she would have to continue
the contest today.
Queen Helen took one glance
at the sky, pulled down her
wiser, and boy, did she step on
the gas!
This Ridley girls not a bad
player, but she never stood q
chance m that second chapter.
It took the champion exactly 10
minutes by the clock to polish
off the set. Miss Ridley was
just q helpless figure on the
stadium court, the while Queen
Helen drove placement after
placement by her. allowing the
English star but six solitary
points as she ran her six games
out.
Queen Helen Idles
Queen Helen will be idle today,
while the officials Of the national
championship attempt to catch
up with their schedule in the
Cuarter-final round.
The rain yesterday washed out
Betty Nuthall's third.round match
with Josephine CruickShank and
Sarah Palfrey's tilt with Phyllis
Mudford, as well as forcing a
postponement Of the Mrs. Shep-
perd-Barron VS.. Mrs. JeSsup
match, after each had won a
set.
These three contests will be
the only singles matches on to-
days program, which will con.
sist mainly Of second and
third-rOund doubles. The
quarter-finals will not be
played until tomorrow, and the
finals have been postponed un-
til Sunday. !
That was a grand battle Mrs.
Elsie GoldSak Pittman, Miss Rid
1ey's fellow British Wightman cup
orphan" waged against Mrs.
Harper in their third-round
match.
Fights Uphill Battle
The rain-soaked spectators who
watched the contest won't soon
forget Mrs. Pittman's uphill fight
in which she came from behind
an 0-6 trouncing in the first
set to avert eight match points
in the second chapter, and go
out into a IA, 40 lead in
the third and deciding set.

birthday, playing his thousandth
game, his name Is mentioned
simultaneously with Ruth'S. He's
right on Ruth's back in the
item of home runs, and he's bat
ting but % points below Ruth,
whose ambition this year isn't
so much to set the circuit clout-

Yes, we would say that in

lived up to the prediction and
promise Of his friend and pal,
Fred Buchholz, q sporting son
Of q sport-loving father and
wonderful mother who doesn't
forget the Gehrigs who were
nobody and had nothing when
the Buchholzes were about the

AverillS speciality Is Socking out
home runs at present. Formerly
1t was just the manner in which
he batted out his singles, doubles
or triples. But now the cheers OF
the crowd every time he steps to
the plate tells the story Of his
sudden rise to popular favor as a
l1ome-run doctor.
Earl clouted out his twenty-fifth
and twenty-sixth circuit drives OF
the season during yesterdays
double-header, which the Indians
took from the Griffmen, 10 to- 5
and 10 to 8. Both came in the
first game, and almost won it
single-handed.
Ties Record
The two home runs tied a for
mer record established by Eddie
Morgan, first baseman and team
mate, who collected just that mum:
ber during the course OF last
season.
Cleveland fans are pulling
for AveriIl to knock out IS be-
fore the season Is over, now
he las tied MOrgan'S record.
They figured that he has a great
chance, in view Of the 30 or
more games left to play.
There is an interesting angle
to this home run work, Incl
dentally. Eddie Morgan was the
big swat and hit man Of the
Cleveland team last year, as his
record of 26 homers will tell,
while Averill was just in there
trying to get his hits day in and
day out in order to keep in the
charmed circle Of the five best
hitters Of the circuit.
Now it's the other way around.

Little Miller Huggins

There's an odd parallel in the
cases of Gehrig and Rogers
Hornsby. Both Of these lads
were discovered and reared by
Miller Higgins. who could see
a baseball player about as soon
as he hatched from the shell.
Hornsby and Gehrig were
as awkward and unimpresslVe
a pair as you ever saw in their
baseball swaddling clothes-but
time has cured that.
They are not exactly Of the
same baseball generation,
Hornsby ostenSibly being about
through and Gehrig in his
prime, but each is tribute to
Miller Higgins. a man who de-
livered more in proportion to
the kicking about he took than
any manager who comes to our
mind at the moment.

Agriculture Member of Cabinet Is Studying Bee SituatiOn-Made Friend Quit in Milk Drinking
(By United Prcss)

Washington, Oct 13.-(UP)- Secreatry of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde is engaged in studying eco homie facts involved in the 4 per cent beer agitation. But it is pure
 ly an academic study as far as he Is concerned. He drinks butter milk himself.
 Not long ago visitor at his of- flee who was close to the farmers and their political ideas, arose to excuse himself after having con
 stunned a half hour of the secre- tary's time with conversation. Hyde insisted he remain. He had
 found the discussion interesting. "Do you like buttermilk?" Hyde
 asked.
 The visitor admitted that he did.
 '"Then we'll have some," said the
 secretary.
 In a few minutes an attendant
 came in bearing a huge water
 pitcher and set two tall. 10-ounce
 glasses on the secretary's desk.
 "Now we will drink buttermilk," "
 said MT Hyde. we are going to
 sit here and drink buttermilk and
 talk until that pitcher is empty"
 The visitor surveyed the pitcher.
 It was a big job but the two fell
 to 1t. The visitor gave up, how ever, after the third glass. He reports that My Hyde went right on until the pitcher was empty. This is the way Secretary Hyde prepares his buttermilk: In larg,, pitcher put plenty of cracked ice Pour in one part of buttermiik, one part of sweet cream and add one part of vichy water. Serve it in tall, clear, crystal glasses.
 Secretary Hyde has the reputa- ton of being the most devout church member in the cabinet. The language used in his conversations and conferences with the press in- dicates no profanity as does that of such cabinet members as. for in- stance. Swearing Bill" Doak, sec retary of labor.
