Griffmen Fared
We'll Despite
Injuries
By GARRETT WATERS,
Times Staff Correspondent

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Aug. II.
Although the Griffs did not set
the world on fire during their
second western trip, which ended
yesterday at Cleveland, there were
several things that made the
journey more interesting than the
first one in June.
Prof. Monte Weaver kept up
his sensational work by scoring
three victories and Gen. Alvin
Crowder worked hard in every as
Signment to hang up a record of
four triumphs against only one
loss.
Win 2 of Is Games
In Is games, Manager John
sons men grabbed eight triumphs
while seven were cast by the way
side. In June, the Griffs won
eight and lost eight. Manager
Johnson's gang broke even in a
four-game series with the St. Louis
Browns, opening the trip. Two
out of three were taken from the
Chicago White Sox. while even
Stephen sets were played with the
Detroit Tigers and Cleveland In
dians in four games apiece with
those clubs.
All told. the Griffs went to bat
532 times in the is games, scored
81 runs against their opponents
83 and Socked out 1856 hits for a
hitting percentage of .256. Not
so good, maybe. from the figures,
but paSsable for a club not in the
best of shape.
To start with, the team had to
open its trip without the services
of Carl Reynolds, slugging out
fielder. Then, injuries and illness
beset the veterans, Roy Spencer,
Joe Judge, Olsie Bluege and Lloyd
Brown. Particularly was the team
affected by the illness of Brown.
He won four games during the
trip in June, but because he
shifted and sneezed with a cold
and was weak thereafter, Brown
lost four contests.
Berg's Play Features
The work of Moe Berg behind
the bat in Spencer's absence was
not bad, because of the substi-
tute's improved hitting and his
deft handling of the pitchers. Nor
can Tommy Thomas hurting ef-
forts be overlooked though he
dropped two games as against one
victory.
According to Curley Ogden, for
mer Griff, Bill McAfee, the new
right-handed hurler, is truly
an excellent prospect and one
that the Braves should never let
get away from them. 1t was on
Ogden's recommendation that
Owner Griff put in a claim for
McAfee's services when the Braves
waived on the pitcher several
days ago.
The Griffs are here today for
an exhibition with the YoungS-
town Club of the Central League.
Yesterdays serial game of the
Cleveland series was rained out,
ending the second Western tour.

ROWING LOSERS
TRY AGAIN

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-THE
Olympic rowing program today
consisted of races wherein losers
in the first trials will be given
another chance to reach the finals
by scoring victories. Yesterdays

cial lagoon at Long Beach.
In the four-oared shells without

were returned winners, with the
italians turning in the best time
of 7:06.8 against 1892 for the
British.
The United States scored in the
double Sculls by defeating Ger
many in 7:14.6 after Canada had
taken the first heat from Italy
and Brazil in 1925.
The eight-oared shells pre-
Sented the finest races of the
afternoon, and both heats were
in doubt until the final drive.
Italy looked the freshest of all as
it moved down England, Japan
and Brazil in the home stretch.
The final heat found the
United States pitted against Can.
ada, New Zealand and Germany
The four teams finished in that
order, with not much more than
one full boat length separating
first and last place.
The American team impressed
with it's power, but the untiring
fast stroke of the italians boded
no good for the hope of Coach KY
Ebright to repeat his triumph at
Amsterdam and bring a second
successive Olympic championship
back to the University of Cali
fornia campus.

and in pitching a full game on a
hot afternoon will lose as much
as six pounds. He wears a size

Watching Gomez warm up for

this smiling, happy-golucky kid

and then a consuming curiosity
to learn the why and how of his
pitching success.
The CaStilian has big hands
with long, powerful fingers. This
enables him to grip the ball and
send it over the plate with its
battling twists. His arms are
slender, as a comparison with the
mighty forearm of Charley Rut-

arms are muSCled with wire, and
the Wlry arm is the most endur.

Gomez laughs his way through
life until it comes time to pitch
in the pinches.
When Lefty first joined the
Yankees he caused a sensation by
announcing that he never would
be happy until he rode from the
bullpen to the pitching box,
dressed in armor as knight rid

would do. He might compromise
on an autogyro, for Gomez
