REvENGEFUL
WAYS HELD.
BY GR|FFS
BY GARRETT WATERS

Quite like the melodramatic
days in the movies when the vii
lain used to cry-"Ah! Revenge
will be mine!"-the Griffmen
hold a certain revengeful attitude
toward the western clubs at this
time.
All because said Westerners
have trounced Manager Johnson's
gang too many times for comfort
this season-and on too many &C.
casions when victories would have
helped so much in battles for
supremacy.
The Cleveland Indians, in town
at the present moment, and the
Chicago White Sox have been the
two most aggravating thorns in
the Griffmen's path,
Losses Hurt
The Indians defeated the Griffs
numerically at Cleveland last
month just at a time when Man.
ager Johnson's men needed vic
tories the most because of their
second place battle, while the Chi
cago White Sox inflicted losses on
two occasions out West when the
same Griffs needed victories in
battles for first place and second,
respectively.
So there Is every reason why
the Griffs hold a revengeful at
titude toward the Western clubs
as a whole and the Indians and
White Sox in particular at this
time.
Playing at home, the Griffs feel
that they'll get this revenge dur
ing the next three weeks. At least
they're out to get it as completely
as they can in the games sched-
uled.
This means victories and many
of them from today on, until the
end of the home stand. The Griff'
men gained the first step Of their
revenge against the Indians when
they defeated them Thursday in
that 5-to-S encounter.
Fred Out for No. 16
Today they hope to make it
two straight. Fred Marberry is
slated to handle the mound as
signment with Wes Ferrell his
likely opponent.
The seasons series between the
Indians and Griffs stands 13 and
Z in favor of the Griffs at the
present.
Manager JOhnSOn'S men held
led of IL and 3 before that
disastrous time of it in Cleve.
land last month. The Indians
took four out of five in that
series.
Marberry will be out for his
sixteenth triumph of the season
when he takes the mound today.
Big red scored his fifteenth
when he defeated the Boston Red
Sox in the second part of the
Griffs' double-header with the
Beaneaters on Labor Day. Be-
fore that victory he had tried
five time to register triumph

The player VINO is noC CO4oE1uA
in the big leagues-that is to say,
not noticed very much even
though he might be playing an
excellent game, needs other things
to bring out his worth in order
to make Mr.. Fan realize just
what sort Of a player he is, and
what sort he is trying to be.
Figures Help
Figures are a great help at
times. In fact, they tell the best
story. The case OF Buddy Myer,
little second baseman of the Griff'
men, offers an interesting exam
pie.
Buddy is not the cOlOrful sort
of player fans like to gaze their
eyes upon. But he's the type
who is always in the game, try
ing to his utmost even though
hardly noticed at times.
When he gets his hits the fans
enjoy it. When he turns in a
nice play at second they let him
know it. But that's as far as it
goes because the youngsters play
is not the colorful sort which
holds the fans interest every
minute.
Here is where the figures come
in. Myer has been cavorting
around second base for two and
one half years now.
He has stuck to his job day in
and day out, trying to become a
real artist around the old key
stone sack. From the standpoint
of his fielding this year, he seems
to have come closer to his aim
than ever.
Only 10 Errors
For Buddy is the leader in the
American League today among
the second basemen with field
ing average of .982, according to
the official averages released by
Irwin Howe last week. Quite a
nice average for a guy who never
thought he would be the second
baseman of the Washington club
two and one-haif years ago.
Myer has played in 1O6
games this year, handled 246
putouts and 2S6 assists for
his .9S2 average. And he has
only made 10 errors while
handling all of these chances!
Hughie Critz, supposed to be
the best fielding second baseman
in the leagues today is the only
player to top Myer in the mat
ter of averages. His reads 1884.
Critz, however, has played but
SIS games this year. This strength
ems Myers showing even more.
Max Bishop of the AS really
comes next to Myer in fielding.
In 116 games, Max fielded for
an average of .981, including 294
putouts, $50 assists, and 1S er-
rorS.
So it seems, figures are E, boon
to Myer at this time. He may
lack color, his good work might
not be noticed like it should, but
the figures bring out the interest
ing fact that Buddy is n pretty
good second baSeman. And fig
ures don't very often lie.

THE WATERBURY
 HEBREW INSTITUTE
Annual Event Will Be Held
 at Kranler's Farm in GreystOne
OFFICERS FOR lo3O

The twentieth annual outing and picnic of the Waterbury Hebrew.i in- stitute will take place next Sunday, June 21, according to an announce ment made by the publicity commit tee of the institution.
 This years picnic will be held at Kramer's farm, Greystone, Conn, in which a party of several hundred men and women and g sfmilur num- Der of children will participate.
 In addition to the customary pro- gram of entertainment at such an occasion, the committee in charge of this affair has arranged for the broadcasting of a special musical which is to include a selection of classical Jewish music. Special amplifiers will be installed on the farm for this purpose. The com- nittee of the 1881 picnic is headed by Simon Goldman, second vice. president of the Hebrew institute for the current year, who is assisted by an efficient committee represent ing both the board of directors of the Hebrew institute and the ladies auxiliary of the institution, the Daughters of Beth Israel.
 The sale of tickets for the picnic Is reported to be satisfactory, and all arrangements for the. affair are said to be completed.
 The institutes picnic has become, by virtue of annual repetitions for the past twenty years, an institu- tion by itself helping very material ly in the raising of the budget neces- sary for the maintenance of the school. Like the Purim ball, it al- ways attracts large audiences and provides for day of entertainment and pleasure to its subscribers, al- though the receipts from the picnic are very small as compared to the profits made at the Purim balls.
 The officers of the institute for the current year are: A. Matzkin, honor ary president; Herman J.. Weismlan, president; I. N. Albert, first vice. president; S. Goldman, second vice. president; G. Blumenfeld, recording secretary; S. Sena, treasurer; l.. Ginsburg, financial secretary; NJ. Siller, chairman of board of educa- ton; and s. Kramer, chairman, house committee.
