GR|FFS' STREAK
PROVESPOWER
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Baseball
has many queer twists and turns,
but the latest wining squirt OF the
Griffmen takes the cake.
It's causing the wiser heads in
the Lacquer to sit up and take
notice, because a team can't be
overlooked after it has gone
through its last 18 games with
only three losses.
This doesn't mean that Man
ager Johnson's team is figured as
a possible last-minute pennant
winner. Far from that. But it
does mean that magnates, scribes,
players and fans all over the cir
cult are shaking their heads and
thinking that maybe Owner
Clark Griffith'S employees will be
heard from as true pennant con-
tenders in 1888.
Recall Yanks Squirt
They recall the New York
Yankees finish of last year. The
YankS ended their campaign in
1881 in high speed and stamped
themselves as dangerous contend
ers for this years gonfalon.
These same Yanks are about
"in" this season.
The GriffS hope that they can
make history repeat itself within
another season. It's not impoS-
sible with the right sort of spirit
behind their work.
The Griffs are playing great
ball these days. They are getting
the pitching which wins many
games. They are hitting in the
pincheS and getting those runs
when they are needed most.
Thirdly, their fielding is all that
could be desired, while last, but
not least, their spirit is high and
that "want-to-win" urge is there.
Two From Leaders
The team, now that it has won
two straight from the league
leading New York Yankees, holds
hopes Of making a clean sweep
of the current series by winning
today'S final game. If this occurs
Manager johnson and his men
will return home tomorrow with
a record of six straight under
their belts and 16 victories out of
their last 19 games played.
The Griffs engage the Phila.
delphia AS tomorrow at Griffith
Stadium. Tommy Thomas, who
has just recently returned to
form, is expected to take the
mound. The Boston Red Sox are
scheduled for a Labor Day dou-
ble-header Monday, before the
final Western trip Of the year is
begun.

Rice eOIouts Out
4HIits to Aid
Griffs Win
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. SITS a
well-known fact that Father Time
will some day force Sam Rice, the
old war horse Of the Griffmen. on
the side lines, never to play again.
This is not likely to happen for
many years if the veteran keeps
on playing as he has for the past
two or three seasons.
Yesterday Rice showed why he
is still in the game and very much
ahead of Mr.. Father Time. Act
ing as Manager Johnson's lead
off man in the batting lineup,
Sam cracked out not only one hit,
but four, two Of which figured in
his teams scoring.
Rice's first bingle in the first
inning did not result in any run
scoring. But his second one Of
the day-delivered in the second
inning, went for a triple and
showed three mates across home
plate-and it was a real hit.
Tighten Hold on Second
Rices' next hit was a double
to right which sent Fred Mar
berry to third in the fifth inning,
and it made possible another
Griff rally that did not end until
three runs had been scored. The
veterans fourth bingle came in
the ninth off Ed Wells.
The Griffs won the contest,
z to l, making it two straight in
as many days over the Yanks,
and increasing their margin over
the Cleveland Indians for third
place to four games.
Big Fred Marberry hurled, and
turned in another brilliant effort
that has characterized his work
of late. Big Fred set the Yanks
down with five hits and kept his
opponents from scoring until the
ninth when Ruth walked and
Gehrig tripled.
Equals Record
Incidentally, this run enabled
the Yanks to equal a worlds rec
ord as the Yanks have now
played in 1872 consecutive games
without having been shut out.
Back in 1894, the Boston and
Philadelphia clubs of the old Ma
tional League played through the
schedule of 1872 games without
failing to score a run in every
game.
George Pipgras was Manager
McCarthy's hurler for the first
eight innings. The GriffS counted
all their runs off his shoots by
gathering three each in the Sec
ond and fifth and one more in
the eighth. Ed Wells pitched the
ninth.
Buddy Myer started at second
base for the first time in ten
days, and had to retire in the
fifth after doubling Rice and
Marberry home. He pulled up
lame when sliding into second
and was withdrawn in favor of
Johnny Kerr. Myer will be back
at his second base post in today's
final game, however, as the leg
he pulled" was not hurt enough
to be serious.
The Washington times., 1932-09-03
That Extra Game

The league standings today
indicate that McCarthy's team
mas played but 131 games, but
They have really played 1872
counting the August i contest
In Detroit, Yankee victory dis
allowed by the league president
because of a mixup in the bat
ting order, the batting, fielding
and pitching records of that
game counting, however, in the
league statistics.
The 1927 YankS have been the
only team in modern baseball
to go through a season with
only one shutout, except the
Pirates Of 1901. That shutout
came to the Pirates July l when
they had played considerably
fewer than a hundred games
and their whole schedule was
only 140 games long, so their
record is not as impressive as
that of the 1927 Yanks who
had a 154-game season and
went to September 3 before
being blanked.
The current sensational edi-
ton Of the YankS has been
blanked once, but it didn't
"take," as it was an embar-
rassment in an exhibition book
ing, the N. Y. P. League Scran-
ton Minors winning l to Au-
gust IL with old Bob Shawkey
and Justin Mclaughlin, an ex-
Red Sox, collaborating in
five-hit job against the big
1eaguers, who had at least four
regulars missing from the
lineup.

WOMAN APPOINTED
UNION ORGANIZER
Miss Helen C. MCCarty to
Direct Work for Fedora
,tion of Employees.

Upon the shoulders of young woman
in the Navy Department, Miss Helen
c. McCarty, has fallen the responsible
ity of supervising all organizing &C
tivities of the American Federation of
Government Employees in Washington
and in the field.
The appointment of Miss McCarty as
chairman of the National Organization
Committee of the federation was an
nounced yesterday by President John
Arthur Shaw Miss McCarty, he said,
has a valuable background in organi-
zation work which we feel extremely
fortunate in having at our service
No Wholesale Drive.
In view of the approaching session
OF Congress, Mr.. Shaw said, the fed
edation is perfecting its organization
plans with a realization Of the neceS-
sity for Government workers to CO.
operate with other labor groups. The
appointment OF Miss McCarty as the
directing head of these organizing ac-
tivities, he said, is the initial step look
ing toward the numerical expansion OF
the organization.
However" Shaw said, sit is in no
sense the usual type of membership
campaign, We plan no wholesale drive
for members.
Miss McCarty has taken a prominent
part in the District department of the
American Legion, serving as its vice
commander and assistant adjutant, and
representing the department at several
national conventions. She was COM
mander of U. S. S. Jacob Jones Post
and also its finance officer.
Served at Navy Yard.
Miss McCarty enrolled in the United
States Naval Reserve force and served
at the Portsmouth, N. H, navy yard
during the World War She was ma
tional adjutant and is now national his
torian of the National Yeomen F.
The federation extends an invitation
to all Federal employees to join its ranks.
With the economy act rising as a
nightmare to plague Federal employees
by day and haunt them by night" said
Shaw, the federation must join forces
with organized labor if it is to combat
successfully the extension of the act
in the next Congress"

CIVIL WAR SHRINE

BODY at Odds Over Ap-
pomattox Memorial.

The problem of the proper develop
ment as a national shrine of Appomat-
tox Court House, Va, where Gen Rob-
ert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses
S. Grant to terminate the Civil War, is
causing a miniature war in itself.
The War Department desires to erect
q monument there, bu5 the Fine Arts
Commission Friday reaffirmed its pre-
vious decision that the house in which
the surrender took place should be re-
built as a suitable landmark to carry
out the wishes OF Congress for an ade-
quate memorial.
Want House Rebuilt.
The commission at its meeting yes
terday received a letter from Secretary
Hurley and decided that the War De-
partment is not carrying out the COM
missions previous recommendation.
Secretary Hurley suggested that the
commission recede from its former
stand and permit construction OF the
memorial. However, the commission
decided to adhere to its original recon- =
mendation that the Mclean Hou9s,
where the terms of surrender Wefc
reached, be rebuilt.
In September, 1881, upon the tI1v-
the Fine Arts Commission members per-
sonallv visited the site of the Surrender
and decided that the Mclean House
should be reconstructed as the most
suitable symbol This. they decided,
would best fit in with the general plan
for development Of the grounds under
congressional mandate.
Competition Is Held.
Although the legislation authorizing
the setting aside Of AppomattoX Court
House as a national shrine provides
that a monument should be erected
there. the Fine Arts Commission be
lieYes reconstruction of the Mclean
House would fit in with wishes of the
National Legislature. The commission
holds that a memorial may vary in
form from the conventional, requiring
a statue, shaft or other design
Despite the recommendations of the
commission, the, War Department held
a competition for a conventional monu-
meEt. A jury made an award to Prof.
Harry Sternfeld of Philadelphia. The
Sternfeld design contemplates double
column memorial one shaft to the
north and the other to the south me-

tons of the Nation.
House Is in Ruins.
The Mclean House was only a farm
house when the contesting armies swept
down upon it. Beneath its roof the
terms of surrender were signed, sealed
and delivered. The old house is in
ruins now About 1898 it was pro-
posed to transfer the structure bodily
to the National Capital, but this plan
fell through, and the historic residence
was permitted to fall into decay. About
the time of the Chicago Exposition,

House were taken. and duplicate of it

BLANEY, Mich, November 10
While high-powered rifles are barking
elsewhere along the far-flung deer
hunting front, the only noise in the
6G00-acre archery preserve near here
comes from an airplane droning over
head, patrolling for poachers with rifles.
No hunting except with bow and ar
row is permitted in the preserve and
four huntsmen are stalking deer armed
with those primitive weapons.
The quivers of these sportsmen are
filled with 27-inch Steel-tipped arrows.
Their bows require pull ranging
from As to 62 pounds. At the proper
range, the archers claim, their arrows
are just as deadly as bullets-but the
hunter must get much closer to the
deer.
All four archers have had chances
this season. but none has bagged his
buck. Edward Pottruff of Grand Rap
ids, came closest, nicking buck with
an arrow that was DETECTED by a
branch. The other preserve hunters
are Frank w. Mosher, Grand Rapids;

ROCKVILLE, Md, November 19.-
DR.. V. l.. Ellicott, county health officer
has called attention to the danger OF
tularenia, or rabbit fever, being con-
tracted by persons handling rabbits in
their bare hands. He states that about
l per cent of the rabbits in this locality
are infected and that the germs pass
from the rabbits to human beings
through the skin Of the hand, causing
as rule, serious and sometimes fatal
illness.
Hunters, Dr. Ellicott states, should
not pick up rabbits in their bare hands
and those who prepare rabbits for cook
ing should wear gloves while thus en-
gagged There is, he says. no danger in
eating the meat of thoroughly cooked
rabbits, as the germs are invariably
killed by the heat of cooking.
