LOU
On STAMPEDE

Lou Gehrig slashed his homers
No. 80 and No. 40, yesterday as
the Yankees flopped Boston, II
to and S to /. The second
homer, with three men on base,
marked the third time since Sun
day Gehrig pulled the trick, plac-
ing him one short of the record
for homers in a row with the
bases choked, Frank Shuttle, of
the grand old Cubs, and Ruth
jointly holding that record.
In hitting the two four basers
Gehrig stretched his streak to
six consecutive games. This is
one less than the record of seven
homers in six straight games,
held by George Kelly, formerly of
the Giants and made in 1924.
Gehrig tied Ken Williams feat
of six homerS in six consecutive
games.
And adding insult to injury,
Gehrig hit both of his big heaves
while Ruth was on base. Ruth
got three singles himself in the
first game and is in second place
among the hitterS with .379. Sim
mons, of the Athletics, is first
with 1886.
Gehrig ranks third with .357
and all three are ahead of Bill

In fact, it marked the first time
that the Ohioan had been really
effective. Five or six times Sad
Sam tried to pitch since early In
July, only to fail, although on one
or two occasions he had gone the
route though losing.
Yesterday was Jones' day. He
turned in a well-pitched game and
brought out the contention that
he might be of some good to Man
ager johnson and the Griffmen
for the remainder of the season.
There is an interesting yarn
connected with Jones poor work
this year. He was going great
guns, it will be remembered. be-
fore he had to rush home last July
because of the illness of his
mother. His record was six trl-
umphs against only one loss.
Rushing home, coupled with
the resultant worry, apparently
started Sam on his downfall as
a pitcher.
Yesterdays performance seems
to bear out Jones contention re-
garding the reason for his poor
showing. Sad Sam argues that
jumping home and being idle dur
ing those crucial days OF his
mothers illness, threw him way
out of condition, and he has been
all this time trying to regain his
winning stride.
Jones' record, with yesterdays
victory, reads nine victories against
eight losses for the season. He
hopes to finish the campaign
with at least a dozen victories un-
der his belt, especially since he
feels that he has found his WIN
ming stride at last.
IT might be said that Manager
Johnson never lost faith in the
veteran. This is brought out in
the number Of games Manager
walter has worked Jones, re-
gardless of his poor record.
"T've figured that Sam
would finally come around, II
worked him enough" said
Johnson. "My only hope is
that yesterdays performance
against the AS is not just
another one of those flashes
my pitchers have put on" OF
late"
The Griffs, incidentally, played
like demons yesterday in defeat,
ing the AS, S to /. They fielded
well and hit even better, collect
ing 13 bingles off of Rube Wal
berg, Athletic starter. Earnshaw
hurled the ninth and "took" the
GriffS in order.
Manager Johnson's men started
right at the outset to rout the
AS. Two runs were scored in
the first inning on singles by
Harris and West, a fielder's
choice by ManuSh, and a double
steal by the first named pair.
One more tally was added in the
third on Cronin'S twelfth home
run of the season while Myers
single with Spencer and Kuhel
on base, sent across the final
two runs in the sixth.
The AS counted their lone run
in the fifth-Jones' only bad
inning. Williams and Walberg
singled, and the former scored as
Myer threw out Cramer.

WORK
BEING DONE
BY HURLERS
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. g.
There is one encouraging thing
about the work of the Griffmen
at this time. The pitching of the
team is taking a turn for the
better. At least that's how af'
fairs are shaping up, or since the
double-header with the Boston
Red Sox last week.
The Griffs dropped both ends
of that twin bill, it will be re.
membered, but the pitching was
exceptionally good in view of what
it had been before the team
struck Beantown.
CrOwder Looked Good
And since then it has been even
better. General Alvin Crowder
looked pretty good Sunday when
he defeated the AS, while his
mates jumped on Ed Rommel for
that 5-to-1 victory. while Brown
Hadley and Marberry did not do
so badly when Mondays contest
with the New York Yankees is
taken completely.
True, it was Marberry'S hurl-
ing which really decided the
issue against the YankS, but in
being withdrawn from the box,
Brown and Hadley did not go
out like the Brown and Hadley
who staIked to the showers
when substituted during games
on the recent Western trip.
In other words, Manager John
sons hurlerS are throwing them
plateward with a little more OF
their old-time prowess at this
time. Which is all very en-
couraging especially with the
team in torrid battle to hold
on to second place.
Maybe it's this fact that is
making the hurlers spruce up a
bit.
Salaries May Be Cut
The hurlers know they must
produce more than they have in
the past in order to hold their
jobs next year. They don't want
to be shunted to the minor
leagues next year or be forced to
take huge cuts in salaries.
No matter what it is, the
pitchers are doing good work
right now. The question is:
"Will they be able to keep it
up for the remainder of the
season, or until second place is
clinched?"
Manager Johnson is greatly
encouraged over the possibilities
of making it two in a row against
the AS today. His plans call for
big Fred Marberry working on
the mound.
The Texan, who is the leading
hurler on the teams staff, won
IA games this season, but has
failed twice within the last two
weeks in an effort to register his
fifteenth.
Still, Manager Johnson feels
that the two-inning relief turn
the big pitcher took against the
Yankees on Monday was just the
tonic necessary to instill into
Fred the idea that he had not
lost all of his cunning.
He is confident as he nomi.
mates Marberry for duty in to-
days contest against the AS. 1t
is not known fact who will op'
pose Fred for the AS. Connie
Mack never uses the pitcher the
experts pick, so it's liable to be any
member of his staff from Robert
Moses Grove down to the young.
ster Hank Mcdonald.
Whoever pitches, the Griffs
must win to keep ahead of those
pesky Yankees for second place.
The McCarthymen gained a half
game on the Griffs yesterday
even though Manager Johnson's
men won, as they took" the Bos-
ton Red SoX in a doubleheader.
Looks like some exciting times
ahead, with the Griffs due to
meet the Yanks in a crucial Sc
ries at Griffith Stadium where

REMAINS IN
TOURNEY
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN


CHICAGO, Sept. 2-Thirty-two Of
the nations best amateur golfers,
survivors Of two days of hectic
qualifying competition, began
match play today in the National
Amateur golf tournament to Sc
lect a successor to Robert Tyre
Jones of Atlanta.
Just as wild a scramble as was
seen in the qualifying rounds ap-
parently was in store for the
coming match play.
Yesterday evening found IA men
tied at 157 strokes for the five
places which remained after 81
had waded through a flooded
course to hand in cards Of 156 or
better.
These IA went ahead gal
Iantly into the darkness, three
holes being required to pick
the qualifying quintet. Fay
Coleman, Los Angeles, declared
himself in with a birdie four
at the second extra hole.
Other overtime winners were:
j. Wolcott Brown, Spring Lake,
N. j., Carey Bellew, jr., Kansas
City, DeNmar Miller, Des Moines,
and owen Covey, Salt Lake City.
Three Tie For Medal
Another indication of the hectic
battle for Jones vacated throne
was the triple tie for qualifying
medal honors. Johnny Lehman,
of Chicago, former Purdue Uni
versity star, played through the
rain in the morning to turn in
the only par-breaking 10 which
gave him 36-hole score of 148.
Shortly afterward Arthur Yates,
of Rochester, N. Y. came
through with a "a to tie
Lehman's mark. Then Charles
Seaver, of Los Angeles, made it
a three-way tie by duplicating
Yates card. No arrangements
have been made for a p1ayoff for
the medal honors.
Many were the favorites,
men Of high repute in the
amateur golf world, whose
hopes for the title were car.
ried away during yesterdays
heart-breaking grind on the
SOdden Beverly course.
One of the toughest courses in
the country at it's best, the my
Rad of small lakes on the fair
way and the sodden greens pre-
sented an almost unbeatable
handicap.
Among the old stand-bys to
go out in the furry of strokes
were T. Phillip Perkins, one-time
British amateur champion, who
carded 82-8O-163: Cyril Tolley,
of Great Britain with S5-S2-167:
Roland Mckenzie. of Los Ange-
les, 79-82-161; DR.. o. F. Willing,
of Portland, Ore, 80-79-159; Max
Marston, If Philadelphia, 1892
100; Charles Evans, Jr., Chicago,
79-T9-158. and Jimmy Johnston,
of st. Paul. 1929 champion, who
carded 82-81-163.
And many were the new
faces, most of them youngsters,
who emerged among the quail
flying few.
A two-foot putt missed on the
last green was responsible for
the elimination of "Chick" Evans,
the veteran of many a tourna-
ment. Practically the only favo-
rite to perform as expected was
George Voigt, of New York, who
finished with a 1855.

Columbus is the home of num-
ber of outstanding medical men
who have made important contribu
tions to science. Dr. Andre Crotti
long an international authority on
goitre and whose services have
been sought by sufferers from all
over the world, apparently just has
made such a contribution. After
20 years of labor, he has presented
impressive evidence that the real
cause of goitre is a bacterium.
Medical science has passed
through the usual stages of specu
lation and unsound theory concern
ing goitre. 1t has been explained
at various times during the past
few centuries as due to exceSses OF
certain minerals in water and to in .
sufficiency of other substances,
notably iodine. Yet science never
was sue of its ground.
DR.. Crotti offers his explanation
accompanied by detailed proof that
arrests attention. With customary
withhold judgment. Dr.. Crotti will
expect this. of course. The layman
can only await the verdict hopeful
ly.
Suffice to say, Dr. Crotti believes
he has succeeded in isolating a par
asite that causes the disturbance of
the thyroid gland, known as goitre,
a bacterium found to be present in
all goitres examined over a period
of 20 years. He, has made out a
strong case and may have opened
an important new field to scientists
engaged in seeking therapeutic
agencies; for having once isolated a
bacterium the next problem is to
