Scoring a victory over Dudy

Jimmy Londos was to arrive here
today and rest in preparation for
his match with Gino Garibaldi at
the Clark Griffith Stadium to-
morrow night. Londos' appear

Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland
saw Londos pin Dusek last night.
A large turnout is expected to
be on hand for the battle tomor-
row night, and Garibaldi has
promised his followers that he will
strip the championship from the
Greek. Garibaldi is the big idol
with local fans and his popularity
has exceeded the esteem in which
such matmen as Fred Grobmier,
DR.. Ralph Wilson and Dudy
DuSek were once held.
Londos, the Wost colorful of all
has defeated some OF
the best in the game since lifting
the title from Dick Shikat in
Philadelphia in June 1880. Great
throngs have attended his

BY FRANK G. MENKE
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-If Lou
Gehrig and Charlie Grimm were
placed on the auction block, the
Yankee first sacker would bring
so much more cash that the diff
ference could pay off much Of
the national debt.
This is because Gehrig is years
younger, has a long baseball life
ahead of him, is an improving
fielder, a terrific hitter and an
infinitely more timely puncheroo
in emergency moments than is
the fading veteran of the Cubs.
But this has no bearing on
what each will do in the Blue
Ribbon Classic of 1882. To say
that Gehrig will outclaSs Grimm
in that duel is purely a wild
guess, based upon facts and sta
tlsttcS which every world series
Of the drifted years has proven
useless.
What does it matter if Gehrig,
swinging against American League
curverS, has hit 40 or so points
better than has Grimm when
faced by the twist and twirl kids
IN his particular circuit? When
did anyone's batting mark in his
own organization have any def
mite status as it relates to world
series accomplishments?
Babe Hits .625
Babe Ruth hit for .625 in the
series of 1928. which was miles
beyond his best showing in the
best regular season of his life
time. Hank Gowdy, who wasn't
spanking for a mark much bigger
than the size of his hat, ratified
the noggin for .545 in 1914. On
the other flipper, Chick Hafey,
who was champion batSman in
1881, could do no better than .167
in the series. and Jim Bottomley,
who finished just a fraction of a
point behind Hafey, had a world
series mark of .160 although he
Aas been better than a 300 man
since soon after the civil war.
All the keen minds are grouped
in the idea that Tony LaZzeri is
a better infielder, no matter
where placed, than anything the
Cubs have to offer. But what |
does 1t matter? Wasn't Roger
Peckinpaugh, one of the surest |
fielders the game has known,
and voted the most valuable
player in the American League
in 1925. after which he hung up /
an all-time record by. making
eight errors?
The great Jack Barry, of the
Athletics of other days, made |
three errors in one combat in !
1911. which was almost as many |
as he made in half a season of !
ordinary play.
So why try to take each rival
player, inspect his record for the |
regular season and attempt to
determine by the process of |
elimination, trick mirrors or one
of the Smith brothers boards
which team Ghould triumph.
Muffed Vital Chance
Why not remember that in 1912
Fred Snodgrass muffed a ball
which was, "his'n" to have and
to hold 999 times out of 1000
and blew championship for the
Giants? Or recall that in 1924
when the Senators. seemingly
were beaten, and their cause
hopeless, hit two hounders which
tipped against the pebbles along |
the third base pathway, leaped
freakishly over Freddie Lind.
Strom's head-the old 100000
toll chance-and the Senators
used those breaks to romp through
to victory in the final game?
And, remembering these. why
not ramble into the idea that /
no matter how far. one club seems
TO outclass the other. How great
is this ones superiority or how
lowly is the others rating that
a world series ever is occasion
for chanting the old remark that
anything can happen in base
ball"

GRIFFMEN LAUD
THOMAS WORK
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent


DETROIT. Sept. 14.-Conversa-
ton among the Griffs today was
mostly about the work Of Luther
CBud) Thomas. former Youngs-
town Central League hurler. who
appeared for two innings in yes
terday's final game of the year
with the White Sox at Chicago
The kind handled himself like
a veteran. He stalked to the
box with the Griffs behind, to
0, in the seventh inning. Nat
urally it was his duty to hold
the Sox scoreless If possible in
the hope that the Griffs might
snatch the game out of the fire
later. This Thomas did, and how
we'll.
McAfee Falls Down
The Griffs lost yesterday, 4 to
/, because Bill McAfee was not in
fettle. Manager Johnson with
drew him from the box in the
fourth after the Sox had copped
four hits and three walks for four
runs. He was relieved by Dick
Coffman who in turn was sue
ceeded by Thomas.
Millen Gaven, who pitched
until Chad Kimsey relieved him
in the ninth with the bases full
and none out, turned in a re-
markable game. He limited the
Griffs to six hits and might have
gotten by with a Shut-out had
not Norman dropped Reynolds
fly ball in the ninth.

ASKED LOANS

Senator Thomas j. Walsh. chair
man of the recent Democratic
national convention, today was
en- route to his home in Montana
after charging that President
Hoover originally sponsored a
number of features of the Garner
Wagner relief bill which he now
opposes. He said:
"I am astOunded by. reports
that the President intends to
veto the bill because it pro.
poses loans to private corpora
tiOns and their enterprises.
When the relief bill which
passed the Senate was being
prepared, the subject Of pro-
viding for such loans was given
consideration and rejected by
the common consent of all con.
suited.
''It was understood that at a
conference in the White House
the President had proposed just
such loans to Republican Sen.
atOrs, and that the suggestion
was prOteste by some, includ-
ing Senator James COuZens, Of
Michigan.
'It was my ditinct under.
standing as a member of the
committee drafting the bill
that ;he President continued
his inSistence on the inclusion
of the provision for loans in

JAPAN |NVADES
FOR OLYMPIC les

LOS ANGELES, July 9.-"Ban-
zais" will ring out today on the
Los Angeles waterfront as the IL
man advance guard of Japan's
mighty olympic team arrives here
for the games.
Several thousand local Japanese
gathered to greet the athletes and
escort them to Olympic Village
where they will start training for
the opening of the games, July 80.
Japan'S equestrian team arrived
several weeks ago, and together
with a second large delegation due
July 18 will bring Nippon'S total
to 210, second only to the United
States in size and athletic ability.
On the liner Tatsuta Maru with
the Japanese are nine members
of the Philadelphia team, and 20
men with the India worlds cham
pion hockey squad.
These arrivals bring the total
inhabitants of Olympic Village
to more than 200. The Argentine
team of Is arrived yesterday, and
so more athletes are due next
week. The real thrush will come
the last two weeks when the huge
United States, German. English,
French, and Italian delegations
will move in.
That Japan will make de-
termined challenge for premier
honors at the Los Angeles games
is the opinion of all sports OBJ
servers. The island empire has
prepared with typical painstak-
ing care, sending experts ahead
to measure tracks and swimming
pools. study housing conditions,
and analyze climatic variations.
