Reynolds and YGnks
Take 1t on Chin
In HOLidav Setting
By GARRETT WATERS


The Yanks took it on the chin
twice, Carl Reynolds, once! There
you have q picture of an unusual
Fourth of July afternoon such as
was experienced by the Griffmen,
Reynolds and some $4,000 fans
yesterday at Griffith Stadium.
Yes, sir, the spirit of the
Fourth was there all right and
although everything is over now.
the memories still linger on, and
will for some time to come.
During the many explosions Of
the afternoon the most impor-
tant, of course, was the fact that
Our Griffmen" up and defeated
the Yankees twice in two ball
games, the first to 8 and the
second IL to 6.
Carl Socked
In regard to the socking Carl
Reynolds got on his chin, it came
in the seventh inning Of the first
game. It seems Bill Dickey, Yam
kee catcher, didn't like the way
our Carl dove into him at the
plate on a play which tied the
score at the time at S-3.
And to demonstrate in fists
instead of words his dislike for
Reynolds undying efforts TO-
ward doing his durndest for his
side" Dickey straigtened CarlS
face in front of him. took excel
lent aim and delivered knock
out blow on the big outfielder'S
chin, jaw, or what.have.you. there
by breaking it, much to the c1a'
grin of Reynolds and the 1ncor1-
Venience of Manager johnson,
who needs Carl's services so very
much at this crucial stage OF the
pennant race. -,
But persons like Dickey will
get overheated in exciting games
like that of yesterdays opener
of the scheduled double-header.
Because of his tempermenta!
action. the first-string catcher OF
the Yanks has drawn an 1ndeflnlte
suspension.
Ont Six Weeks
Reynolds will be lost to the
Griffmen for about six weeks be-
cause of his unexpected injury
Such is ones reward for trying to
do his utmost to win ball game
for the home side! But, then, fate
will smile against guy this way
every once in q while. Carl is
probably wishing that he could
have been spared broken jaw, to
say the least.
Getting down to a brief resume
of the games, the GriffS tore sew
eral leafs out of the Yanks' book
in winning. First, they socked
out timely hits at the right mo-
ment. Next, they hit several
homers. And. last but not least,
they got better than average
pitching from weaver, Marberry
and Brown, while such great
hurlers as Lefty" Gomez and
Johnny Allen were hit to all cor
ners Of the field!
Yes, sir, it was a great day for
the GriffS, with the exception OF
Reynolds misfortune. BY defeat
ing Gomez the Griff's broke that
hurler'S winning streak which had
reached eleven straight games.
while by tripping Allen, Manager
JohnSon's gang erased, for the
time being, that individuals hold
on the pitching peak, which had
seen up to yesterday six trumphs
against only one loss.
Brown, Weaver Shine
And, as a matter of a little
record recording in the Griff's fa-
vor, Browns victory marked his
twelfth of the season, while
Weaver's showing, despite the fact
that he was withdrawn for a
pinch hitter in the seventh, was
most encouraging in that it was
his best since early May when,
at that time, he was beating every
team and enjoying things i'm.
menSely while doing it.
Monte'S record? Oh, yes. ten
victories against only five losses.
Not so bad for a new guy, huh?
