Jonath of Germany seems to have
a chance to head the great
American trio of Tolan-Metcalfe-
Simpson. This lad is built more
like a wrestler than a sprinter.
His legs arc so huge that they
appear like anchors when he
merely walks around. But when
he WhoopS!
The semi-finals for the 800
meters, the finals in the gruelling
400 meters hurdle and the 5000
meter Steeplechase trials and the
hammer throwing complete the
jobs outlined for the lads. But
the lassies will be thrust into
the spotlight with trials and
semi-finals in the 100 meters dash
wherein Miss Stella Walsh, who
went Poland. will perhaps meet
up with Miss Babe Digrikson, of
Dallas, Texas. who is the greatest
all-around girl athlete the world
has known.
Firms Depressed
Of all the nations that are
depressed today, none is more so
than the Firms. They had
counted on winning the 10000
meter race with Paavo Nurmi.
The I. A. A. F., refusing to label
Nurmi a pro" yet baking at
according him an amateur status,
simply barred him from the
games-a bit of straddling that
is not in full keeping with the
Olympic spirit
Minus Nurmi, the Firms shot
with Volmari Iso-Hollo and Lauri
Virtanen. 1t was figured that
with Nurmi out Of it, these fel-
lows would run one-two. But a
gentleman named Janusz Kuso-
cinski, long striding and stout
hearted son of Poland, ran both
of them dizzy, and snagged the
race which Finland, in the be-
ginning, felt would result like
this: Nurmi, first; Iso-Hollo, sec.
ond. and Virtanen third.
Perhaps the most daZed citizens
include George Spitz and his
legion of admirers. Spitz was ex-
pected to win the high jump with
out even nudging his aerial de-
partment to best effort-and crack
a worlds record in so doing. But
this fellow, who has jumped 6
feet 6 inches a thousand and one
times with effortless grace and
utter nonchalance, and who
scaled better than 6 feet 8 inches
for a new worlds record, got as
high as feet 4 inches and there
after gave spiffy limitations of a
circus fat man trying to do a IA
foot pole vault while wearing a
keg of foaming liquid on one
shoulder and six guzzling class
mates on the other.

A Jules Verne

No newspaper man ever drift
ed into Tex Richards dynamic
presence without going away
with something out of the or
dinary to write. Not always
news, understand us, but more
often views, plans, dreams, am
bitions, proposed stadia, many
of which we're actually built
and filled. and, of course, bally-
hoo such as only a Jules Verne
or a Tex Rickard could conjure.
And after a different manner,
we claim the same for Clark
Griffith. Not gifted with the
imagination Of Rickard. Griffith
exudes reams of newspaper
copy based on fact, and most
all of it is as good fiction as
you'd wish to read, placed in
capable hands for writing.
Clark Griffith has lived Wig
orously and mindfully every
second of his 60-odd years
may they never grow less: and
while he is veritably stepped
in baseball. oddly enough his
alert and incompatible mem
ory exudes much in sport out
side the pale of his profession.

He aims to bring the Griffmen
home with a better record under
their belts than when this section
of the country was invaded during
June.
"AlI games won against our
Western opponents at this stage
of the season are going to mean
a lot to us later" he COM
mented. Although the Yankees
seem to have things sewed up
the season still has a lengthy
road to travel and either our
club. the AS or Cleveland In.
dianS have chance to do some
eleventh hour upsetting. In our
case victories will help us now
because if we do any of the up
setting we'll be just that much
better off in the race if several
victories are turned in"
So far on this Western trip the
GriffS have broken even.. Two
games we're won in four played al
st. Louis while an even stephen
record holds in the two contests
against the Chicago White SoH
played since Saturday.
Manager johnson feels that his
team got off to a good start by
breaking even with the St. Louis
Browns, as is generally known
they're a tough team to defeat
on their own grounds, particularly
with a lead. and the fact thai
the Griffs got away with two
games is encouraging to johnson
to say the least. Right here ir
Chicago is where we ought to fat
ten our record every time We
play" was Johnson's added com
ment this morning. Its a crying
shame that we lost the first game
of the series Saturday. But this
is one of the many uncertain
things about baseball, and the
only thing we can do is to go out
and keep plugging away to win
the remainder of our contests

Griff Tells One

And, too, very often Griff
will spill a news story that,
though it is aged and hoary, is
all the better news for the fact
1t had never been told. Inside
stuff which seems insignificant
or incidental or of no value
at all when it happens, but
which ripens into headlines in
the light of subsequent happen
ingS.
For instance, Griff was tell
ing us just recently that Wal
ter Johnson wanted to quit
pitching in 1920, complaining
persistently at spring condition
ing in 1921. declaring his legs
were gone and that pitching
weakened him too much.
Four years latter he won a
worlds championship, because
Trainer Mike Martin and Griff
wouldn't listen to Walters quit
ting.
They got him off ice cream
and candy, of which he was
paSsionately fond, ironed out
his diet, making sure to elimi-
nate conflicting rationS at a
single sitting, and kept him on
the mound until 1927.
We thought it a whale of a
story, and if we may say it, still
do.
No there's no end to that
fellow Griffith, who somehow
always has another rabbit to
pull out of the hat!

KinsdoninGame
For a While
BY GARRETT WATERS

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-One of
the most pleasing things in the
world to manager in big
league baseball circles is to have
a player deliver for him in the
greatest of pinches.
The case of Yves Kingdom,
who has been substituting for
the veteran Ossie Bluege during
the past three days, offers an
interesting example.
Manager Johnson, it seems,
had to pull Bluege out Of the
lineup during the st. Louis
series last week because of the
intense heat. Looking around
for a capable substitute to take
Ossie's place, johnson selected
Kingdom.
The selection has proved a
wise one as Kingdom, since
entering the game, has per
formed in excellent style, in fact
so very well that Johnson is
weighing ideas these days OF
keeping the former Chattanooga
star in the lineup a little longer
than usual.
Bluege Ready
This, even though Bluege is
about ready to resume his regular
place at third base after treatment
from Trainer Mike Martin for an
upset stomach due to excessive
heat in st. Louis.
Before more discussion follows,
Johnson's ideas are not off keel
by the longest of shots. All be-
cause Kingdom has delivered not
only in the field, but at the bat
particularly the latter.
In three whole games and part
of another West has hit to the
tune of .427, splendid hitting for
fellow who is only supposed to
be a utility man and nothing else.
In the four games Kingdom has
stepped to the plate IA times and
has collected six hits, two doubles
and one triple. He has scored six
runs.
Yesterday, as the Griffs de-
feated the Chicago White Sox. 8
to 5, Kingdom gathered one of his
aforementioned doubles and the
lone triple in his record.
Starts Rally
This latter clout drove across
his teams seventh run of the
game. while his double, in the Sec
ond inning. started a rally which
was finished by Weaver, who sin
gled Yves across.
Manager johnson may or may
not inject the veteran Ossie
Bluege back into the game today,
but if he doesn't he'll certainly
have a capable little performer
at the third sack in Kingdom.
May he keep up his good work
if he continues to substitute for
Bluege.
The Griffs won yesterdays
game from the sox because
Pitcher Monte Weaver pulled him.
self together after a bad fifth
inning. In this fifth the Sox
jumped on Monte as if they were
going to shove him to the
showers, but after three runs
had been scored, he settled down
and held everything in check
despite another SoX marker in
the seventh.
SOx HurIerS Fail
The Sox used Frasier and
Gregory on the mound in order
to stop the Griffs. Neither hurler
could do any halting, and as re-
suit Manager Johnson'S men
walked away with an easy tri-
umph Sam Rice socked home
run in the fourth, while Sam
West hit for three and two bases,
respectively, to help his average.
Kingdoms double and triple have
already been described.
The triumph added No. II to
Weaver'S list for the season. He
is now the leading hurler in the
league in the matter of wins and
losses. He has lost only five
