Return Of Brown
makes Johnson
Hopeful
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 4.-Lefty
Lloyd Brown, Manager Johnson's
"under-the-weather" pitcher, will
be available for tomorrow's third
game of the series against the
Tigers, Trainer Mike Martin an
nounced today.
Brownie. who was not expected
to be able to take his regular turn
on the mound in this series be-
cause of severe cold, has re-
ported feeling in much better
shape now, and has given both
Martin and Manager johnson his
word that he is ready once again.
It's really Browns turn to work
today's game, but Johnson has
planned giving the lefthander
another days rest in order that
he may be in complete readiness
when he does start. Thus, his
nomination for duty as the
Griffs' pitcher for tomorrow's
w CdNC1
was to get the call today.
Johnson Hopeful
With Brownie once more avail
able, Manager johnson looks
upon the remaining games in this
series with little more hope than
before because of Browns faculty
Of being able to beat the Tigers.
johnson also sees visions of a
Well-pitched game when Brownie
faces the Cleveland Indians next
week.
"He can beat them, too"
Johnson stated today I'm
only hoping that the cold
which has followed Brownie the
past few days has not left him
weak. Brownie claims that he
is all right, SO he must be
o. K"
The Grif9s must crash through
with some stronger hitting IN
the remaining games on this
western trip if they hope to win
any more games. if yesterdays
2-to-1 loss at the hands Of the
Detroit Tigers can be taken as
an example.
Tommy Loses Tough One
Tommy Thomas turned in an
unusually well-pitched effort from
the pitching peak. but was not
supported at all by his mates
with the fail, the result being
another one of those heart-rend.
ing losses chalked up against his
record.
Vic Sorrell was the Detroit
hurler, and although the Griffs
collected six bingles. only in the
second inning were they able to
bunch them for a score. In this
frame, Kuhel, West and Bluege
hit singles, resulting in the lone
Griff run for the day.
Thomas let the Tigers down
with five hits. In the. fourth a
walk, Gehringer, an infied out
and Rhiel's single drove one run
across, while in the sixth.
Walkers single and Rhiers double
counted another-what proved
the margin Of victory as things
turned out.
West singled with two out in
the seventh, Pinch-Hitter Dave
Harris singled, with none out. in
the eighth, while Kuhel shot a
one-baser, with one out in the
ninth, all to no avail. It was a
case of too much Sorrell in the
pinches, that's all.

behind" but authority for this
statement was lacking.
AS a matter of fact, Veeck has
said practically nothing publicly
since issuing his official statement
on Tuesday night. But, privately,
he is said to be of the same opin-
ion he formed. when Hornsby
first exhibited symptoms of ego
mania in his control of the club.
His idea is simple but convincing.
He merely insists that the best
imitation of John McGraw is
given by John McGraW.

with the press in which the premier
discussed Mr.. StimSon'S address on the
pact last Sunday in New York.
M. Herriot said he had studied the
Stimson speech with much interest be-
cause the Briand-Kellogg pact is
Franco-American work and since its
conclusion European public opinion
never has ceased to desire its develop
ment.
THE French government" he con-
tinued, lis consequently extremely at
tentive to and favorable toward any,
thing that may enhance the authority
of the pact.
In Mr.. Stimson's speech I recognized
once more the sincerity with which the
Secretary of State wants to give the
pact entire efficacy by bringing about
consultations if necessary. 1t is valu-
able for us to hear that in the mind
of the American statesman the pact
carries with it the necessity for such
consultation. Under its high moral
authority Mr.. Stimson has not feared
to engage the whole American people
in recognition of such obligation.
France firmly believes it is impossible
in the interests of peace to leave the
pact in the status of mere declaration
OF good will.
France also appreciates Mr.. Stlm-
sons statement because it deems the
pact an obligatory treaty. 1t is in
dispensible that the pact should be un-
derstood as binding the Signatory coun-
tries without any restriction except the
right to legitimate defense, and we are
grateful to the United States for pro-
claiming that it will ut allow a docu-
nent Of cuch political nd moral value

CHAPLIN IN CABINET
SESS|0NF|RST TIME
New Commerce Secretary
Asserts Presidents Speech
Best He Ever Heard.

Roy D. Chaplin. the new Secretary Of
Commerce. attended his first cabinet
meeting at the White House today,
joining the Presidents official family.
The new Secretary was prevented
from attending the cabinet session
Tuesday, his second day in Office, be-
cause of important conferences.
Mr.. Chaplin was reluctant to discuss
his first impressions at cabinet ses-
sion with newspaper correspondents as
he was leaving the White House other
than to say that things are run little
different than in private business. Mat
ters are conducted with more speed and
subjects cover a wider scope"
He did not show the same reluctance
when asked regarding his opinion of
the Presidents acceptance speech. He
replied quickly to the effect that he
considered it the most impressive and
forcible speech he has heard in his
entire life.
He said there is something of value
in it to every American and that any
one who listened to it last night or reads
it today, will find some subject Of par
ticular interest. He added that the
speech should serve not only as a Solace
to the people, but as a hope and a
tremendous inspiration.
Regarding IHe pIOLIlpIIlon expression
of the President, Mr.. Chaplin thought
that the President expressed himself
clearer than any one else in discussing
the subject. Mr. Chaplin said he per-
Sonally has received many messages to-
day from friends in different parts of
the country lauding the Presidents
speech, including the prohibition
section.
Attorney General Mitchell likewise
praised the address, but said nothing
about the prohibition section Secretary
Stimson similarly joined in the praise.

JAPANESE DENY
ANNEXATION PLAN
Fail to See How Hoover's
Policy AppIies-Stimson
Talk Explained.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
TOXIC, August 12-The Japanese
government fails to see how President
recognize possession of territory gained
by force applies to Japan'S position in
Manchuria, foreign Office spokesman
said today.
The reference occurred in the Presi-
dents speech of acceptance last night
and in government circles here it was
accepted, as was Secretary Stimson's
speech earlier in the week, as refer
ence to the Manchurian case.
Japan never will seek title to posses
sion of territory in Manchuria-to use
the Presidents phrase-not to the end
of time" said the spokesman. There
are many Occidental powers which, II
placed as Japan is regarding Man
churia, would long ago have annexed
Manchuria.
Doctrine Seems Wholesome"
Japan has absolutely no intention OF
annexation. Many Japanese are even
doubling the wisdom of the annexa-
tion of Korea, which has been la
bility lowering the general economic
level of the empire.
THE Presidents doctrine as he ex-
pressed it seems to us wholesome. What
we object to is having the anti-war pact
constantly poked under our noses with
charges that we are constantly violat-
ing it.
Both the United States and Great
ifoi IN ad ne Kol1nuU mart wit N
reservations covering their right to re-
sort to war in self defense. Therefore
they are hardly in a position to deny
our right to resort to arms in the de-
fense of interests vital to the we'll
being of the empire That is all we
have done in Manchuria. The decision
as to whether military action conSti-
tues Self-defenSe must lie with the ma
tior directly concerned, and not with
world opinion"
Talk Held Political.
The spokesman said Mr.. Hoover S
speech, like Mr.. Stimsons, sought to
marshal the administration achieve
ments in foreign policy as arguments
for reelection
"If the American people can be con-
vinced that the Hoover -StimSon doc

real achievement" he said, perhaps
we should not complain about their
harping on it even though the implica-
tions are unfavorable to Japan"
Today's newspapers gave little promi-
nence to Mr.. Hoover's speech. Olympic
swimming was the days big news.
The papers, however, gave consider
able space to a foreign Office version OF
Ambassador Debuchi'S report of con-
versation with Secretary Stimscn re-
garding the Secretary's speech in New
York early this week.
Mr.. Stimson, it was said, explained
that in that speech he had referred 70
"an aggressor" vaguely and generally
not specifically intending Japan. He
told the Ambassador that although in
his zeal to uphold the Kellogg pact and
the nine power treaty he might have
used expressions bruising Japan's sus-
capabilities, if Japan understood Amer
ica's real intentions she would know
that she had no reason to take offense.
