The two contests against the
Chicago White Sox Wednesday
and yesterday offer examples. In
both of these Manager Johnson's
gang went out and collected
early leads.
Wednesdays was overhauled
by the Sox by virtue of a ninth
inning rally which eventually de-
feated the Griffs, to 2. Yesterday
the Sox almost did it again
failing, only because stellar field
ing halted them when it looked
as if they had Johnson's gang "on
the run"
The GriffS nosed out yesterday,
thank heaven, 6 to 5, thereby TAX
ing the lead in the series which
now stands two triumphS for them
against only one for the Sox.
Prof. Monte Weaver was Mana
ger Johnsons starting hurler, but
he was forced to give way to Big
Fred Marberry in the seventh,
when the Sox began their over
hauling work. Big Fred stemmed
the tide but not until several
thrills had been injected into the
order of things.
Going into the ninth with a
6-to-4 lead, the Sox worked Mar
berry for one run when Sullivan
doubled and scored on Blues
single. Hodapp followed with a
shot to Kerr at short which
Johnny barely was able to jump
for in time to force Blue at
second. Selph then drove a tre-
mendous drive to right which
Reynolds just did catch, Fotner-
gill ending things with a pop to
Myer.
With a lead of 6 to /, Weaver
gave the Sox three runs-tWo in
the sixth and one in the seventh -
before withdrawing. These mark
ers almost nullified his excellent
work in between that time be-
cause of the Sox' laSt-minute eff
forts to snatch the game out of
the fire.
However, the Griffs won, so

Sarazen Sets Mark in Winning British Open
N|PS RECORD
Of JONES BY
2STROKES

SANDWICH, England, June 10.
Gene Sarazen's victory today
gave the British Open golf cham
pionship to the United States for
the ninth year in succession.
Sarazen's 283 marked only the
second time in the long history of
the tournament that any golfer
had broken 290 for the 72 holes,
and his feat was all the more
pronounced because of the fact
Princes is conceded to be the
most difficult course in the Brit
ish Isles.
Bobby's 2S5. which was the
first time any golfer had ever
carded under 200, was achieved
on q far less difficult course.
Sarazen's magnificent achieve
ment stamped him as one of the
greatest golfers ever to win the
most bitterly contested title in
the game.
Shows Nervous Tension
Gene clearly showed the nervous
tension under which he was
laboring at the start of the final
round.
With victory seemingly in his
grasp, he lifted his head on his
mashie-nlblick shot at the first
hole, the ball falling woefully
short of the green. He ran up
dead to the pin, however, for
a four.
Sarazen played calmer golf
from then on. however, but
badly pulled tee-shot which was
wide and short of the fifth green
was followed by q short approach
"a loss of two strokes. He
three-putted the seventh green,
failing to hole a five-yarder. but
a 10yard putt at the eighth
restored his confidence.
Sarazen rounded the turn in
IS with the Prince of Wales
among the large gallery. At
this point. somebody told him
that Havers had broken the rec
ord with q 68 on his third round
and the bad news seemed to
ERECT the American.
Tee Shots Off Line
All his tee-Shots were off line
on the way home. and missed
four-foot putt at the twelfth sug-
gested 4 possible disastrous crack
UP. Sarazen made a perfect re-
covery, however, after being
twice off the line at the thir-
teenth, taking a four, and holed
12-yard putt for a two at
the short fourteenth.
A broad grin broke over Sara
zen's face as the ball rolled into
the cup-the first sign of smile
visible since he rounded the turn.
The American kept the gallery
uneasy with three puts at the
fifteenth. A badly dubbed chip
shot at the sixteenth cost him
5 and he carded another 5 at
the seventeenth. On the last
green Sarazen carded an immacu-
late 4 and then left all the wor-
rieS to HaVers, who was playing
his second hole as Gene finished.

NEW PITCHER
To REPORT
TOMORROW
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 10.-Carl
Fischer for Dick Coffman.
That's the latest your Uncle
Clark Griffith has done to
strengthen the uncertain pitch.
ing situation with the Washing
ton Griffmen. .
Yes, sir, it's been done and
although Griff had to give up a
pitcher for a pitcher, it is the
general thought that he's added
strength to his team where it
was needed for a mighty long
while-this season particularly.
Coffman will don a Griff uni
form as soon as Manager John
son and his gang arrive in st.
Louis tomorrow. Fischer will
greet his new mates at the same
time. The new addition is not
an unknown to Washington tans.
At least he's not to the several
elder Griffmen who have been
under your Uncle Clark Griffith's
employ for the past five or six
years.
Griffman In 1925
Coffman was once Griffman
in 1926. He came up from Chat
tanooga of the Southern Associ-
alton. In 1927 he was sent to
Jersey City, of the International
League. This was during the
middle of the campaign. He was
recalled. however, in time to be
included in deal with the st.
Louis Browns which sent he and
Earl McNeely to that club for
Pitcher Milton CASTOR. He has
been with the Browns since.
Fischer came up to the Griffmen
in June of 1890. He made his
debut against the Cleveland In
dians, opposing Wesley Ferrell.
He was defeated.
Last spring Fischer went South
with the Griffs and made
strong enough showing to be car
ried as one of Manager Johnson's
staff. He pitched we'll for a
rookie experiencing his first COM
plete year as a big leaguer-win-
ming 13 games while losing nine.
Ran Into Slump
However, in compiling this rec
ord he had his troubles as he
ran into a slump during June
and July which almost nullified
his good start which saw him
win nine straight games. ii rec
ord so far this season includes
three contests won against two
lost.
Coffman, although he has
never been world beater in his
four years as a st. louis hurler,
has turned in several excellent
games which stamps him as q
future star. It was his splendid
l to effort that stopped Lefty
Grove last year after that great
finger had won 16 straight trt-
umphs. 4
Coffman's record this season
reads five victories against only
three losses.
Powerfully Built
The new addition is powerfully
built, stands 6 feet q inches and
weighs ITO pounds. He is 26
years of age. Fischer is the same
age.
Fischer took the news of his
shift to St. Louis very well. In
fact, he had this to say:
I'm mighty sorry to be Ieav-
ing, as I've made many friends
while with Washington. They're
a great bunch of fellows. and so
is Griff and Johnson, but l
want to say they all had better
look out from now on, as the
Browns have always been able
to beat the Senators, as they
call 'em, and now that Pm
going to St. Louis, it'll just be
one more pitcher who'll have
to be beaten. Just watch me-"

Gen. Charles G. Dawes was
today named by President
Hoover to head the new $2,-
O00,O00,0OO Federal reconstruc-
ton corporation.
General Dawes had been named
as chairman of the American
delegation to the Geneva Arms
Conference, but President Hoover
decided to make an eleventh-hour
switch, and send Secretary Of
State Stifnson to Geneva as head
of the arms delegates.
StimsOn to Sail Later
Secretary Stimson, however,
will not sail with the other Ameri..
can delegates from New York to-
morrow. He will go to Geneva
at some later date, when the con.
ference preliminaries are over. He
will act as chairman of the
American delegation.
The selection of General Dawes
to head the new reconstruction
corporation came as a result OF
conferences which he has had
with President Hoover during the
last few days.
Meyer To Be Chairman
Dawes will have the title Of
president of the corporation. and
Eugene Meyer, Governor of the
Federal Reserve Board, will be
chairman of the corporations

of the corporation will be ap.

ence delegation and return to his

WARNS
GERMAN.
To PAY
France, He Says, Will Stand
For No Default; Says U. S.
Must Be Tolerant

Premier Pierre Laval told
the Chamber of Deputies this
afternoon that France will not
permit Germany to default on
reparation payments despite
Chancellor's Bruening's recent
declaration that the Reich
was no longer able to pay.
France, he asserted, will insist
upon her rights under the treaty
of Versailles. Furthermore, any
reduction in reparations must be
accompanied by a corresponding
cut in the. French war debt to the
United States.
Asks Debt Delay
Furthermore, France launched a
move today for extension of the
Hoover holiday on reparations and
European war debt payments to
the United States, expiring July l.
The French government pro-
posed that the European creditors
of Germany extend this mora
torium to December 81, 1882, and
at the same time make formal
request upon Washington for a
further six months delay in pay
ing their obligations to the
United States.
With an all-round agreement
on these points the French
government argued it would be
unnecessary to hold the Euro
pean Reparations Conference at
Lausanne, Switzerland, next Mon
day, conference which the
United States Government has
officially ignored.
Germany Protests
Germany Immediately lodged a
protest against the French move,
declaring she could not consent
to postponement of the Lausanne
conference until autumn.

the six months extension of the
moratorium, is opposed to post
