Revived Hopes
To Spur on
Griffmen
BY GARRETT WATERS

CINCINNATI, July 25.-With a
record of 13 games won against
eight lost under their belts by
virtue of a long home stand just
ended, the Griffmen were a hope
full collection of ball players to-
day as they stopped off here for
an exhibition game with the Gin
cinnati Reds prior to facing the
st. Louis Browns tomorrow
their first opponent on this their
second Western trip.
And a different team in com
parison to the start on their first
Western journey in June. Then,
it will be remembered, Joe Cronin
and Heine Manush were on the
sidelines because of injuries, and
Manager Johnson's pitching staff
was not in the best of fettle.
But now a much brighter out
look prevails, as both Cronin and
Manush are available, the pitch
ing staff is in far stronger shape
and the teams morale is at a
higher pitch because OF the hap
pier conditions.
Spencer Only Casualty
Where things were quite dark
on the whole last time, only one
casualty prevails as this trip
starts and it really is not as
serious as one might be led to
believe. And that's the condition
of Row Spencer, regular catcher,
who is on the sidelines right now
because of an injured leg.
Spencer, hurt in the st. Louis
serious about 10 days ago, Will
still be inactive for the first few
DAYS of this trip but is expected
to be able to take his regular
turn behind the bat by the time
Chicago is reached Saturday.
And oh yes. Carl Reynolds is
not with the team due to that
broken Jaw of his. Reynolds
condition and absence might be
added to the casulty list dis
cussed above, but even with his
enforced absence the team is
not as bad off as when the first
western trip was taken because
Dave Harris and Sam Rice are
playing such able games as sub
stituteS.
johnson Enthusiastic
Manager johnson is one who
is especially enthusiastic over
the teams possibilities Said
Walter today: y
"The boys are going very
well now and 1 see no reason
why they won't continue in
these important games against
the western clubs. ManuSh
and CrOnin are hitting well,
KuheI is holding up excellently
at first base and Thomas,
Weaver, Brown and Crowder
are pitching better than aver
age ball. Most important is
the spirit rcing shown by
everybody"
Just by way of mention, the
Griffs play four games with the
st. Louis Browns, starting this
trip. Four contests each follow
with the Chicago White Sox, De
troit Tigers and Cleveland In
dians in that order, bringing the
team back to Griffith Stadium
on August 13 against the New
York Yankees who will be the
opposition for two days.

WASHINGTON CANOEZSTS PROVE THEMSELVES
ODA AND NAMBU
JAPAN'S MAIN
THREATS
By HARRY COSTELLO

AS one studies Americas
Olympic games situation, one
feels confident that America will
be returned victor in the tenth
Olympiad at Los Angeles.
It seems that this country is
scheduled to win a majority OF
the track and field events.
However, there are a number
of causes for worry on this score
First of all, it does not seem
that America will do much in
the middle distances. They ap-
pear outclassed. There is a
question as to what the United
States can and cannot do in
the long distances. They appear
outclassed here also.
Then there are few other
little matters.
For instance, there is the
japanese team in the Olympic
games. It seems the Japs have
been overlooked, Oda and Nambu
in particular.
OlyWplC CndmplOH
Oda is the Olympic champion
in the hop, step and jump.
Nambu holds broad jump record
of more than 26 feet.
In winning his national cham
pionship, which helped to qualify
him for the Los Angeles games,
Oda managed to skim over 81
feet ~ inches of ground. In the
same trials, Nambu created new
worlds mark of 26 feet 2A
inches for the broad jump. This
latter mark is an inch better than
the former worlds record of 26
feet 11s inches set by Gator, the
Haitian, at Paris, in the games
staged after the Olympiad Of
four years ago.
1t would seem as one studies
the records of these two JapS
that they will win over America s
best if they reach the form which
has made them great athletes
Redd and Barber. Americas S hopes
in the broad jump, have consist.
emily gone better than "a feet
However, they are not, as Eddie
Hamm was always doing, flirting
with the 26-foot mark.
Eddie Gordon, colored star and
a graduate of the University of
Iowa, is on the American team
with Barber and Redd in the
broad jump. He has been able to
go over IS feet only once or twice
although he has consistently
jumped "a feet.
Strong Field
In this matter of the broad
jump there is Gator also to con
.Slder. Then, too. there are Maj
fel, of Italy; Kocherman, German
champ. and his teammate. Bic
bach. They all have consistently
jumped as we'll as Americas trio
of Barber, Redd and Gordon.
In the hop, step and jump, the
United States has not been able
! to win in the last seven Olymp,
lads. Ireland. Britain. France
Sweden, Finland. Australia and
Japan have won this event these
past seven Olympiads.
Not only does Oda stack up as
the winner of this event this
year, but the second finest per,
former seems to be his teammate.
Oshima, who has reached 49
feet II inches, and several times
in practice sessions has gone
over SO feet.
Bowman. of Louisiana State,
appears the best among the
Americans. He has done 49 feet
7h inches. He qualified for the
American Olympic team with 48
feet 11A inches which mark has
been beaten by Svenson, of Swe-
den, who has done 49 feet AZ
inches.

OTTAWA. July 81 G.N.SD. .
Wheat, regarded by many Ca
nadians as the backbone of
Canada's natural wealth. will be
Just an orphan in the storm, If
certain conversations at the I'm
perial Economic Conference bear
the fruit which is promised for
them.
From the beginning of the Ot-
tawa conference idea, Canadian
wheat growers have urged upon
the Dominion government an
arrangement by which Canadian
wheat would be given substantial
preference in Great Britain.
Today, after long series Of
discussion, it was stated unoffi-
cially that grain trade represen-
tatives had reached a conclusion
that neither a quota system nor
any preference likely to be ac-
ceptable to the British Parlia-
ment would raise the price or
increase the sale of Canadian
wheat in Great Britain.
On this basis. it appears that
the conference will make no at
tempt to arrange a wheat quota,
or to impose a tariff against for.
eign wheat in favor of Canada.

JURY IN GEORGIA
PROBES DEATH

GRIFFIN, Ga, July 81 Q.N.So.
Instigated following the death OF
a negro convict with crushed
skull, a three-sided investigation
by a grand jury Of the State
prison camp near here was re-
sumed today.
Conflicting tales were told o.
the manner in which j. T. Las
sitter, negro convict, met his death.
Capt. P. H. Randall, held in jail
by orders of a coroner's jury, sent
the unconscious negro to a hos
pftal last week with the crypt ex-
planation, "sunstroke." A coro'
ner's jury found the negro came
to his death as the result OF q
beating by the warden.
