THIRD IS BEST
FOR GR|FFS
BY GARRETT WATERS
(Times Staff COrrecpOndenD

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.-It's
a. case of merely playing out the
schedule for Griffs from now on
in view of yesterdays 8-to-4 loss
at the hands Of the Philadelphia.
AS. So the AS will draw second
place money and the Griffmen
must content themselves with
third place money.
And third place money pro-
misses to bring them better than
average returns at that though
they could have used that extra
$40O or so as second place finish
erS.
Briefly reviewing the trials and
tribulations of Manager john
sons men during the campaign,
they started out like a house
afire and led the league for, two
or three weeks. Then they
slumped and were unable to re-
gain their full stride until the
latter part of the season. Their
drive, however, fell short of over
hauling the second place Mack
men.
Professor Monte Weaver and
General Alvin Crowder have been
the clubs outstanding pitchers.
The first named, serving his first
year in the big leagues, has a
record of % victories against 10
losses. Crowder has won Is games,
lost 13 and, has won his last IA
starts.
Manager Johnson's men have
hit pretty we'll at times-parti-
cularly Heinie Manush. Joe Gro
min and Joe Kuhel. But lack of
timely pitching during June and
July cost the team. many a
game. The addition of Tommy
Thomas from the Chicago White
Sox proved a help, while Dick
Coffman, acquired from the st.
Louis Browns, hurled we'll in late
appearances after terrible
start.

LAND|S PIG K s
No WINNERS

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Uphold-
ing his tradition of neutrality,
Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw
M. Lands today declined to ven,
ture an opinion on the outcome
of the world series as he pre-
pared to entrain for New York
to witness the first games of the
annual classic.
The iron-visaged judge, how
ever, allowed himself the liberty
of predicting that the series will
constitute a thrilling struggle of
baseball giants.
Not so neutral was William J.
Harridge, president of the Ameri-
can League, who also was to de,
part today for New York. It's
the Yanks, averred Harridge, of
course.
Il have no doubt" he OBJ
served, that the Cubs are a
great ball club, after the SEN
satiOnal finish ethey put on in
their own league, but 1 think
the Yankees are better and
will win"

c, j. MAY START
ON FRIDAY

Catholic University and City
College of New York may effect
shift in their inaugural 1882 foot
ball game in New York next Sat
urday. Requesting that C. U. play
the game after sunset as Saturday
is a Jewish holiday and many of
it's athletes of Jewish extraction,
City College was today informed
that while C. U. would not con-
slider a night attraction, the con-
test could be moved up to Friday.
No fewer than five former Wash
ington scholastic footballers will
be numbered in the lineup of ST..
Johns College, of Annapolis, this
afternoon, when C. U. is engaged
in a practice game at Brookland.
The Washington times., 1932-09-24

However, 1 have been informed
that part of my work in connec-
ton with these pre-series articles
calls for discussion of the two
outfields, even though 1 am a
member of one. So here goes.
The three regular outfielderS
of the Yankees have batted 300
or better this season. If Moore is
taken out when a Southpaw is
working for the Yankees the Ma
tional Leaguers will have two out
fielderS who have hit under the
mark. However. I realize that
Cuyler's .279 for the season is not
to be taken as meaning that he
isn't likely at any time to break
up a ball game. And Stephenson
packs plenty of power and con-
sistency as we'll in his hitting.
And Moore is plenty dangerous,
too.
In Ben Chapman we have a
much faster player than Riggs
Stephenson, the Chicago left
fielder. In center field we have
Earle Combs, one of the greatest
outfielders of the present time,
and the Cubs have Johnny Moore,
fast and capable fly chaser
who can step around the field IN
speedy fashion. AS for right
field I am quite willing to admit
that the Cubs have the faster
fly chaser.
In the games at Chicago I pre-
sumo I will be in left field and
Ben Chapman will take care of
right. That would oppose Steph-
enSon and myself in one field,
and Cuyler and Chapman in the
other. This arrangement makes
the competition closer from a
ground covering standpoint, since
Cuyler is quite a bit faster than
The Washington times., 1932-09-24
Game to the Gore

There isn't a gamer fighter
than Mickey walker on the en-
tire fight horizon. He's got the
heart of Cans, Ketchel and
Dempsey combined. AS oblivi-
ous of danger as was Dempsey,
he'll take four to get one any
time, but we believe his punch
doesn't carry the dynamite of
the former worlds heavyweight
champion when he finally gets
in his "one."
On the one hand the fans
Monday night will see a tear
ing-in, reckless, swarming fighter
in Walker, and a stolid, beetle
browed, unafraid Schmeling who
seems to keep his eye on the
clock and manages to have his
chores pretty we'll cleaned up
by quitting time.
He wore Stribling down in
such a manner, as he did
Pauline Uzcudun. But Mickey
Walker is fleeter of foot and
smarter ahead than are either
Stribling or Uzcudun. and we
do not expect Max's job on
Mickey to be so overwhelming
as it was in the case of those
other two slow-footed gentle
men.
Or maybe we are all wrong.
Perhaps it is Walker who is 60
ing to do the job on Make, but
time will tell about that. We
pick it to happen otherwise, so
90 ahead and make your bets
any way you wish.
The Washington times., 1932-09-24
Second Guessers Busy

Many Of the second guesser
say that is one of Schmeling'S
weaknesses, his persistence in
boxing boxers and fighting
fighters. They say had he
fought a few of the previous
rounds in the manner he did
against Sharkey in the fifteenth
when he Swarmed all over Jack,
he might still be the champ.
But that is neither here nor
there insofar as Mondays at
fair is concerned. In that
Schmeling is adaptable to any
kind of attack he can choose
his own style against Walker
and stands to win this decision,
If he uses his noodle.
Schmeling is nobody to be
Stampeded by Walker or any
other fighter. He is cool. He
holds his ground. He isn't
likely to knock out Walker, as
Walker is all iron, and like
Dempsey doesn't know when he
is licked. This, of course,
barring what the ring craft is
pleased to term a lucky punch.
Not that Walker has never
been on the floor. He has.
But he is the type which can
get up, and has gotten up,
many, many times.

''HY'' SCHECTER
ROLLS 4O7

"Hy" Schecter. of Mosean, cele-
brated the opening Of the Hebrew
Duckpin League season with a
smashing set of 407-a new all
time record for the league.
Schecter started after the record
at the very start with game of
1862. following it up with 1913
and 1T.
Jr. Mardelle, Monarch and Les
Amis started off with a bang by
sweeping their sets with Equity,
Iris and Jr. Arora, respectively.
Mardelle took two from Mosean,
losing the first by one stick, de-
spite Schecter's brilliant 162 eff
fort.
Other big sets were registered
by Dicken with 355. and Raine
and H. Kalinsky with 344 apiece.

would postpone business recovery.

ing for President Hoover's reelection

tributing most effectively to the eco

He continued in part:
I'VE are beginning the upward climb

quick recovery.
Il regard it as particularly unfortu-
nate that We face national election in
the immediate future Actually, If we
have change in administration this
period of uncertainty may be prolonged
for more than year since the new
Democratic Congress would not meet in

such Congress would pass? Would it

NJ 'ADOO CHARGES
HOOVER DECEPTION
Sees Nothing in Democratic
Platform for Farm
Tariff Reductions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, Calf, October G.
President Hoover was charged by Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo last night with
completely misrepresenting the posi-
ton of the Democratic party with re-
spect to agriculture and products of
the soil' in his address at Des Moines.
The former Treasury Secretary.
speaking in his campaign for election
to the United States Senate on the
Democratic ticket in California, said, in
part:
Among other things, President Hoo
yer, quoting Democratic criticism of the
Grundy- -Hawley-Smoot tariff law. said
such attacks are promise of reduction
of farm tariffs. He added that they
(the Democrats) will reduce agricul-
tural tariffs if they come into power
No Reduction Suggested.
This opinion of the President. be-
cause it is nothing more, is contra
dicted by the position Of Gov Roosevelt
and Of those who are supporting him.
Not a single word in the Demo-
cratic platform urges or suggests a de-
crease of the tariff on any product of
y >
that platform favors the restoration Of
agriculture and in particular contains
the following significant declaration
which I, myself, had the honor Of pro-
posing to the Resolutions Committee of
the Chicago National Democratic Con-
vention:
I'VE favor the enactment Of every
constitution measure that will aid the
farmers to receive for their basic farm
commodities prices in excess of cost /"
Cites Roosevelt Words.
Pointing to statements of Gov. Roose-
velt on his recent campaign tour that
means must be devised quickly to give
the farmer the equivalent of what the
protected manufacturer gets from the
tariff" Mr.. McAdoo added.
The answer. therefore, to Mr.. Hoo
yer is clear and emphatic. We have no
intention of reducing agricultural
tariffs. We will. in fact, increase agri-
cultural tariffs if the present protection
proves insufficient"
