But in the American League
this season, as in several other
campaigns in the past, contend
ing team breaking even is not one
which can comfort itself with the
contention that it still has a
chance to grab pennant, such as
it may be.
At least that's the general idea
on the subject and with the Grtff-
men, as the contending team in
this instance, the same situation
rules, or should rule even though
the actual feeling among the
Griffs is that they still have
chance ahead of coming back and
ultimately coping the old gon-
falon.
Courage? Yes
There are many things neces-
sary if the Griffs still figure they
have pennant chances. First,
they must get better pitching,
next more consistent hitting, and
lastly but not least, they must be
instilled with a new brand of
courage-so definitely needed by
teams holding hopes of winning
more games than dropped.
On paper the Griffs possess an
unusually strong array of mounds
men. Also the dope indicates
that they have a better than
average hitting team.
The question then narrows
down to the actual applying of
these strong requisites which
application will only bring about
the winning ways so terribly
sought. But will the team get
this better pitching and hitting?
The future offers this point.
Dick Coffman, acquired from
tn, st. Louis Browns, should do
better work than he has shown
to date. Alphonse Thomas, Sc
cured from the Chicago White
The Washington times., 1932-06-25

Soxs, certainly looks as if he
has several more winning ef-
forts in that right arm Of his,
while Bobby Burke, by his i'm
proved performances during the
Griffs' recent trip west,
promises to turn in one or two
triumphs. with o few favorS IN
the breaks.
All this coupled with the
known showings Lefty Lloyd
Brown and General Alvin
Crowder will turn in, gives out
a little encouragement, at the
least, of what may occur in the
future. And to complete it,
Professor Monte Weaver GER
tainly should snap out Of the
slump which has made him a
very wild sort Of pitcher of late.
Pipe Dreams!
Of course most every bit of this
could come under the title of
"Pipe Dreams" but it stands to
reason Our" pitchers can't hurl
any worse than during the past
month.
In regards to the better hitting
of the club, this little item is
bound to improve as soon as Joe
Cronin's injured thumb entirely
heals. Although Joe has delivered
handsomely since his return to
the game, he has found it neces-
sary to favor his thumb most Of
the time, which of course has kept
him from delivering like he really
can when in normal fettle.
The remainder Of the lineup
promises to hit more consistently
than in the past, particularly with
Cronin leading the way.
So it goes. The GriffS are a
team that could only break even
on their first trip west. Can this
disastrous showing be put down
as the end? The long schedule
ahead will most certainly tell.

YANKEES WIN
. CLOSE T|LTS
ON TRIP
eyMn%sn@ By

NEW YORK CITY, June Is.
I have just had a view Of the
Western teams of the American
League on their home grounds
and I must admit that I was
agreeably surprised. We all
thought at the start Of this
Western trip that it would be
pretty easy sailing. We looked
for trouble in Cleveland and not
much elsewhere. 1t seemed like
a break after we had spent the
greater part of three weeks play
ing 18 games, equally divided be-
tween Philadelphia and Washing
ton.
We'll, I must say that the
Western part Of the American
League is much stronger than is
generally thought. We won a
majority Of our games but we
had few easy afternoons. TWO
of our three victories in Detrolt
were by one.run margins and the
Tigers won once. So in four
afternoons at Navin Field we had
one game that wasn't oatVle
to the finish.
Indians Troublesome
In Cleveland it was the same
story. We won one game rather
easily and had our troubles in the
Others, winning twice by one-run
margins and losing the other game
of the series. We had expected
trouble there and I don't hesitate
to say that we had to get the
breaks to be able to take this Sc
ries.
Then came the big surprise OF
the trip. We went into Chicago
fully satisfied that this was the
breathing spot of the tour and
we; ran into more good pitching
in. our four games at Comlskey
Park than in any other four-garne
series we have played this year.
Sam Jones Shines
Sam Jones pitched two of these
games and held us to one run
each time. Here were two bril-
liant exhibitions of pitching by a
veteran who will celebrate bis
fortieth birthday next month.
81 don't know why Sam Jones
doesn't win almost every time
he starts" / remarked to one of
the Chicago players after Jones
had lost his 10 game. He had
beaten us in the first one, FL.
,"One reason is" this player
said to me "is that Sam has
had the misfortune to do some
of his best pitching on days
when the SOx we're helpless with
the stick"
Three times this year Sam has
run into shut-out pitching by the
other fellow, and that means he
never had a chance to win these
games. He almost ran into a
Shut-out in that 2-1 victory which
he scored over the Yanks, because
it was the fellow who hit for Sam
in the eighth inning who made
the victory possible. Herb Pen
mock had shut-out the Sox up to
this inning.

HAVERFORD, Pa, June 25.
Five feet three inches and 100

Judging by their performances
yesterday. both players have their
very best shots polished up for the
title battle. Sutter was well nigh

With the exception of one
match, competition for the Tribal
Bowl golf cup at Indian Spring

Richard Peacock and Tom
BelShe were to clash today in
one semi-final match while Bill
Harvey was awaiting the winner
of the second round match be-
tween DR.. Larry S. Otell and Leroy
D. Sasscer today.
It is probable that DR.. Otell
or Sasscer take part in two
matches today as Harvey, who is
golf chairman at Indian Spring,
wants the 36-hole finals finished
tomorrow.
Peacock Surprises
Peacock furnished the surprise
of the second round by nosing

pin. Mrs. j. v. Brownell was sec
ond, being 80 feet from the
seventeenth cup with her final
stroke. Mrs. S. H. Shinnick was
third, holing out her final stroke
on the sixteenth.
Mrs. Harvey also turned in
splendid medal round Of SO, 60
ing out in 48 and returning in 45.
She scored a birdie 3 on the par
thirteenth and a birdie 4 on the
par S fifteenth, sinking 12-foot
puts on each hole.
Caldwell Beats Harvey
Bill Harvey succumbed to the
sharp stroking of Ernie Caldwell
by 3 and in a quarter-final
match of the Maryland State
amateur championship over the
Hillendale course in Baltimore
yesterday morning. Harvey began
poorly, dropping the first five
holes and being five down at the
turn. He required 43 strokes for
the first nine, to SO for Caldwell.
Harvey put on streak coming
back and was two under par for
seven holes, but only managed to
win back two holes as Caldwell
continued his even pace of the
first nine. Their cards:
Caldwell:
Out. ...... 446 334 444-36

One Stroke Outside
Bob Barnett, Chevy Chase, was
one stroke outside the fold with

AUDITOR URGES

Shortage Looms Even With
$4,000, 900 Contribution BY
U. S., He Points Out

Describing the District Gov

Bingham subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Com.
mittee began hearings today
on the District appropriations
bill for the next year.
He presented a gloomy picture
OF what may happen unless the
Senate amends the District sup
ply bill as it passed the House.
Sees $1,OOO,OOO Deficit
The highlights of Major Don
ovan's testimony were:
The District faces a deficit
of approximately $1,OOO,OOO dur
ing the next fiscal year, even
if the Senate raises the Fed
eral contribution to $9,5OO,OOO,
instead Of the $6,5OO,OOO al
lowed in the House bill.
The District is fortunate in
that it hSa no debts and for
years has had a surplus which
now has practically disap-
peared.
The present tax rate is fair
and should not be raised.
Chairman Bingham Informed
Major Donovan that the Bureau
of Efficiency had estimated that
the Federal Government, based
on its property holdings, ought to
contribute $10,183,000 a year to
the District, and Major Donovan
agreed that this finding substan,
TALLY was correct.
Major Donovan testified that
heretofore the District had been
able to raise from 100000 tc
ST, 600, 900 through tax sales pei
year but that now the outsiders
who buy in these tax notices are
unable to obtain further bank
loans and that the last tax sale

Congress, He Says, Refuses

Bond Issue Held Sound

The Rev. DR.. John A. Ryan,
of this city, one of the leading
economists of the country, was
among the first advocates of
great program of public
works as a means of ending
unemployment, such program
to be financed by bond
issue.
DR.. Ryan's plan, similar in es-
sential respects to that advocated
by William Randolph Hearst,
was devised by him wholly inde-
pendently and made public at
about the same time Mr.. Hearst
first proposed a $5,000,000,000
prosperity Loan" This was
more than a year ago.
Negative Effects
In a statement a few days ago,
DR.. Ryan outlined his reasons
for advocating such a relief
measure. Some significant ex-
cerpts from the statement follow:
Congress has refused to heed
the misery of the unemployed.
Its economy program will
magnify the economic stress.
In its consideration of the
budget it has been stampeded
by a slogan.
"MOre disastrous than all
these errors is its attitude to-
ward positive legislation for
business improvement. Truth
and fairness compel us, indeed,
to acknowledge that the So
called reconstruction enact
ments for facilitating credit
have been beneficial to the
small depOSitOr and the small
