The husky freshmen had an
easy time with Marietta's COM

to come from behind in the final
quarter mile in a two-mile race.
At the finish, the Pacific Coast

SGdy Ill tuS 4A1lS"up, IL 10 1uGAAAc
Harris broke into the lineup in
favor of Sammy Rice on June 2
against the Detroit Tigers. This
was for one day, but he was in
serted again on June 6 against
the Chicago White Sox in the
first game Of the series with that
team just ended.
Has 428 Average
In these five games Harris has
totaled nine hits in 81 times at
bat for an average of 428. Nice
hitting for a lad who is not a
regular. And in the field Dave
has handled himself very well,
only one error being charged
against him, that in the first
Chicago game last Saturday.
Yes, Harris is to continue in
the lineup until he falterS,
which means that Sammy Rice
has a period of bench sitting
before him for awhile.
The third of the Western
teams to invade here appear
today in the Cleveland Indians,
who are scheduled for four
game set. Manager Peckln-
paugh's collection of ball play
ers were rained out yesterday
at New York, but come full Of
pep in view of a new lease on
life.
Indians Are Dangerous
The Indians are a dangerous
club once more after disastrous
slump, which they for a time
could not shake off. Wesley
Ferrall, no-hit pitcher, is back in
form after a lay-off due to a sore
arm, while Joe Vosmik, the
recruit outfielder, is hitting them
again after a terrible batting
slump.
In all, manager Peck is out to
make it very interesting for the
Griffmen for the next four
days, and from the looks of
their performances of late his
team will.
Sad Sam Jones will be on the
mound for the Griffs, according
to Manager Walter johnson. The
Tribes moundsman is unknown
at this. time.
The Griffs took the final from
the White Sox yesterday to make
it four straight over that team.
Alvin Crowder went the route
again, much to his delight, and
everybody elSe's. while Pat Car
away, supposed jinx to the Griffs
was pounded at will.

The speech was arranged
for after nightfaII and one

audience.

1t was Garry Herrmann's

it was the hardest and best

Ban Johnson There

It was at draft meeting and
Ban johnson was there as were
at least so other baseball men
and Hermann, who was then
chairman of the National Com
mission, hurried the meeting
over so they could all get
around to their romping. Con-
tinued Griff:
eve drove in cars to the ap-
pointed spot where Garry had
prepared everything imagin-
able in the way Of food and
drink.
johnson was famous as q
student of civil war history
and had long had a hobby Of
gathering data on the war be-
tween the North and the South.
He had prepared a speech
along these lines to make to
the assembled baseball men,
and the more the gang drank
and the more johnson drank,
the more inSistent he was on
making the patriotic speech
and the less intent the boys
were on listening to him.

mann and, furthermore, liked
and admired him.
Griff, and, baby, it's tough to
get a word in edgeways when
Griff has the floor, was tell
ing Herzog and your humble
servant about one Of Herr
mans famous parties which
ever followed any gathering Of
baseball men in or around Gin
cinnati.
"He had to throw his par
ties" said Griff, "and whatever
scheduled. sebalI business
there was on hand had to be
concluded by II o'clock in the
morning in order to repair to
the summer resort down the
Ohio, where Garry was prone
to entertain"

Crowder, but lost because the
Griffs were able to bunch them
in innings which produced large
run totals.
Joe CrOnin kept up his hit
ting streak by bingling safely
for his seventeenth consecutive
game, his single in the third
and triple in the fifth, doing
the trick.
The game was all over after
the third inning when the Griffs
coined three runs. From then on
it was just a matter Of adding
more for measure with Caraway
sticking to his job, even though
he should have been out of there.
The final score, incidentally,
was 9 to 3.

HARRIS PLAYS
AT.SECOND

New York moved back into un.
disputed possession of second
place in the National circuit by
blowing up the Chicago Cubs, 10
to 2. Willard Morrell, a some
what obscure righthanded hurler,
yielded only eight safeties, while
three Chicago pitchers handed
out 18. OFT got a homer and
three other blasts, and Terry
socked two triples and two less
important blows.
Even Manager Bucky Harris
playing second could not save the
sliding Detroit Bengals. and they
were tripped again, IL to 3, by
the AS. George EarnShaw was
good for only six hits and knocked
a homer in his own behalf.

Griff is very pleased over the
way in which his team has con
Quoted itself on this home stay
Everything is going nicely, he
says, and there's no reason tc
feel that things won't continue in
Ehe same manner.
''We're getting the hitting
and also the pitching. There's
nothing wrong with that is
there? The only thing is to
keep at the present gait and
then fight all the harder when
we meet the AS later. There's
going to be a turning point
very soon, don't forget that.
And 1 believe we'll provide that
point when we engage the AS
here on July s."
In regard to the miserable
allowing Of the Detroit and Chi
eago clubs who have shown here
TO date, Griff points out that no
two clubs in the league have eX-
perienced as hard a stretch Of
luck as have they.
Detroit was handicapped and
Us now because Gehringer and
Alexander are out of the lineup.
Chicago is handicapped because
OF the absence Of Jolley and
Reynolds, star outfielders, and
the sore arms of both Lyons and
Thomas, right-handed pitchers.
Both Clubs Good
Both are good clubs when every
thing is considered, but have just
Hooked miserable here because Of
their misfortunes.
The AS are slightly worried
about things at this time despite
their big lead, is the report. So
much is Connie Mack concerned
that he is anxious to obtain an
other pitcher before the player
trade dead line, June Is, accord
ing to information from Phila-
Gelphia.
He figures that the acquisi-
tiOn Of q good starting pitcher
would be q big help later when
the going becomes extremely
warm and the stretch run is at
hand.
Rommel and Shores are on the
trading block, it is rumored about,
as are his two outfielders, Jimmy
Moore and Roger Cramer, who he

adding the pitcher or pitchers to
his team.
Mack Worried, All Right
Whether Mack will get any,
thing before the player trade
deadline, June IS, is still a mat
ter to be determined, but the fact
still remains he is worried, even
though his AS are winning con-
sistently and hold that five-gamc
margin
"Any team would be worried"
is the way Griff figures it.
''Why, if our club was on top
and held a five-game lead as
do the Macks, we certainly
would be worried for fear of a
losing streak which would pull
us down again."
Therefore it may be a good
thing at this time that the Griffs
are in second place on the heels
Of the champions. if for no other
reason than the strain of holding
q lead, once it is gotten. would
not be half as strenuous as being
on top right now.

NEW DAY AHEAD,
WOODS SAYS

America will emerge from the
present business depression and
again march forward on the road
of prosperity without any decline
in the standards of living. Col.
Arthur Woods, chairman of the
Presidents Emergency Committee
on Employment, declared today.
Steadily improved standards Of
living. for which the people of
United States have Strived for
years, and especially since the
war, will continue to be the coun-
try's goal, according to Woods.
Within the last few months q
few authorities have expressed the
opinion there must be a lowering
of living standards and low wage
scales in order to bring the coun-
try out of the depression. 1t is
the belief of Woods, undoubtedly
shared by President Hoover and
other leaders, such will not be the
case, but that optimism will re-
place pessimiSm, buying power
will be restored, employment re-
sumed and the business of living
will be conducted even on a higher
plane than before.
