BABCOCK
BEAT WILLS

LOS ANGELES. Aug. "a.
Some day, somebody is going
to come along and defeat Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody in tennis.
And as sure as Pm talking to
you. that somebody will be
Caroline BabcOck."
1t was Perry Jones, secretary
of the California Lawn Tennis
Association, talking today of the
youthful Los Angeles girl who
reached the finals of the women's
national championships against
Helen Jacobs Saturday.
II think that Miss BabcOck's
rise in tennis is rs remarkable
as anything ] know, actually
paralleling that of Ellsworth
Vines. In Vines first serious
year at the nets he was ranked
eighth and and the next season
found him at the top Of the
lists" Jones said.

However, in the remaining
games, Manager JohnSon's men
still hold hopes of gaining ground
even though plenty of difficulty
lies ahead, what with the Detroit
Tigers and ST. Louis Browns
scheduled as the opposition.
The Griffs have won seven
games in nine played against the
western clubs during this home
stand. A clean sweep was gath
tired in four contests with the
Chicago White Sox while three
out of five were won from the
Cleveland Indians, who finished
their series only yesterday.
Four contests are scheduled
with the Tigers beginning today
while the home stand will be
ended by the playing of three
skirmishes with the st. Louis
Browns, starting next Monday.
Hey, Hey, Girls!
The ladies will get a day, by
the way, during this current De
troit series. It is listed tomorrow
because the usual Friday date
this week is an off-day in the
schedule. Incidentally tomorrow
will be the last ladies day Of the
season as the Griffs finish their
schedule away from home this
year.
There's not much baseball left
at Griffith Stadium for this cam
paign when look-in on the men,
toned schedule is made. After
these seven games against the
Tigers and Browns, the Griffs
have only four more contests on
tap here, three of which come
over the Labor Day weekend.
Briefly. Our Team" goes to
New York next week, or Septem-
ber to be exact, for three games
against the Yanks at Yankee
Stadium. Then a quick return
home will be made for the men
toned engagements over that
Labor Day weekend.
Here's Some Dope
The Philadelphia AS will be
the guests Sunday, September 4,
while the Boston Red Sox will
be the foes in a double-header
on Labor Day, September 5. These
contests will mark the Griffs'
last appearance of the season
here until the final day of the
campaign when the Philadelphia
AS will be met, Sunday, Sep
tember 25.
In the meantime Manager
Johnson's men take their final
trip out west. This will begin
Tuesday, September and will
end Sunday. September 18 at
Cleveland. But the Griffs won't
be home then. Before returning
games are scheduled at both
Boston and Philadelphia during
September 20 and "a.
Thus. it can be seen the
seasons end is not very far off.
And it's just a question of days
before the Griffs' appearances
at Griffith Stadium will be few
and far between until next year.

Overtime Tits
Griffs Dish
Dope Tells
BY GARRETT WATERS


If rival teams think for an
instant that they are going to
defeat the Griffs in overtime bat
ties this season, they have many
thinks" coming to them.
For, the Griffs not only will
keep pace right along. but will
win besides, no matter how long
it takes to turn the trick. In
something like 13 extra inning
battles this year. Manager John
sons men have come out on top
in every one with the exception
of a game at Philadelphia on
July 2 when the AS and George
Earnshaw noSed out Tommy
Thomas in an eleven 2-to-1 battle.
Yesterday our team" travelled
13 frames before becoming
triumphant and the Cleveland
Indians were the victims in the
instance. And what made this
particular victory sweeter was the
fact that an old jinX pitcher was
defeated-namely, Jack Russell,
tall, lanky Highlander, with a
deceptive slow curve ball.
Rice's Hit Decides
In this thirteenth with one out,
three hits in a row brought home
the bacon for the Griffs and
ruined RusSell'S chances of gain
ing another jinx triumph. Heine
Manush started things by singing
to center. Joe Cronin followed
with a double to right which
sent Manush to thir3. Sam Rice,
next up, slashed a single to right
and it was all over much to the
delight of the 1,500 or more fans.
and the disgust of Russell who
seemed to be trying so hard to
defeat his rivals once again.
A great deal of the credit for
the Griffs' win should be given
Bill McAfee. rookie hurler, who
blanked the Indians for four
rounds after relieving General Al
vim Crowder in the ninth. Nc
Afee was in trouble most Of the
time, but always managed to
have enough to get out unscored
upon. He was credited with the
triumph-his second since becom-
ing a Griffman.
General Alvin Crowder might
have won the game himself and
chalked up his seventeenth vic
tory of the season had he not
become too careless with his
pitching in the ninth.
CrOwder WeakenS
Going into this frame with a
4-to-2 lead, Crowder gave up the
two Indian runs, which forced
the game into extra innings. |
McAfee had to go to his rescue
to halt the scoring.
Mel Harder was Crowder's oppo- |
rent at the start of proceedings. |
He was withdrawn in the fifth
for a pinch hitter because an
Indian rally was on. Sarge Con-
nally took the mound and hurled |
until the ninth, when Manager |
Peck again sent up a pinch bats
man during a rally. Thus, Rus
sells entrance and ultimate de-
feat.
That Carl Reynolds has not yet
recovered fully from his broken
jaw ailment was attested by his
forced retirement in the sixth
inning. Carl, with two strikes
and one ball on him, developed
a dizzy spell and Manager John
son quickly withdrew him in
favor of Sam Rice. It was the
Old War Horses bingle which
won the game, as things turned
out.

Such was the exact case in
the Long Island Bowl. Sharkey
had about the same edge in
superiority over Schmeling that
Rosenbloom had over Goodwin.
Like Schmeling. Goodwin did
much missing, but he was ever
in there putting up good. but
futile fight against smarter
and more maSterful opponent.
Too. Goodwin was game to the

1t means, among other things,
that the 2-year period of good be-
havior which golf extends to those
who violate the chaste code of
amateurism is about to begin for

that he not only has broken his
parole many times during the last
two years but is making ready to
do so again and, in fact. is going
a bit out of his way to ignore

means that the laird of the links

Those spongers

No punishment within the
power of the Saratoga racing
officials is too severe for the
perpetrator of the inhuman
sponging to which the thor
oughbred Panetian was sub
jected this week.
One of the most dastardly
tricks known to the shady
characters who some time
haunt racing plants. is the
sponging of q horse, which is
done by inserting a sponge
about the size of a golf ball in
the animals nostrils. Breath
Ing is seriously affected. of
course, and often completely
tmpeded in one nostril.
Many horses have actually
gotten or the track with one
of these respiratory obstacles

flesh and understand it's SINH
larity to human suffering, you
don't know the cruelty it un-
defgoeS when thus victimized.
Tamperers in any degree with
the normal function of a racer
are not only contemplate cow
ards, but guilty of STOPPING to
the commonest practice known
to the thoroughbred racing
world. Fortunately, Maryland
is free from any such prac-
tices.
Doping a horse, or ginger

sponging him is unthinkable.

Walter johnson

Out-of-town writer's and some
of the local ones have been
indelicate enough to discuss
the demise of Walter Johnson
as the Griffs' manager, but you
may rest assured they speak
only of idle chatter. No hint
has come from club headqua1
ters that a change is impend-
ing, and until Clark Griffith
has something to say about
the matter, it may be dismissed.
Some lave gone so far as to
nominate Johnson's successor,
Bucky Harris being mentioned.
Good manager as Bucky has
proven to be he is not a logical
choice to return for the very
simple reason his chances of
success would not be 100 per
cent because of very preju-
diced attitude toward him by
some of the fans. A new man
ager should have every chance
Of making good and every ele.
ment in his favor.
Should Owner Griffith decide
to make a change, he would
find a man in his own ranks
with every potentiality of sue.

Indications were that the case
would go to the jury next Tues
day or Wednesday after IN
limited argument from opposing
counsel. DarroW said he was
planning to speak for four hours
and George S. Leisure, his
associate, for about one. The
prosecution was expected to re-
quire about the same amount of
time.
The prosecutions rebuttal was
not considered as important, as
far as the jury was concerned,
as was Lieutenant Massie's simple
plea of justification, woven
through his and his beautiful
wife's testimony.
Courtroom observers were gen.
orally agreed that much depends
on whether the mixed blood
jurors believe Kahahawai vas
actually guilty of the attack.
The prosecution has introduced
evidence aimed to show that the
native constantly maintained his
innocence before the kidnapping.
