Thomas Return
ToForm Timely
For Griffmen
By GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Alphonse
CTommy) Thomas, the former
Chicago White Sox hurler, who
has done such great work since
early June when he first Joined
the Griffs, underwent a pitching
test at Griffith Stadium yester,
day afternoon in the final game
against the st. Louis Browns.
and reported no i'll effects today
following his efforts.
This little item might not be
of the greatest interest to those
holding only mild interest in
the GriffS, but to Manager John,
son it is extremely timely, as it
comes at the hour when the
earnest pilot wants all the pitch
ing strength he can get to keep
his team in third place for the
remainder of the season.
With Thomas once more avail,
able, the Griffs have a great
chance OF continuing in third
place. This, particularly, if
Tommy delivers in the fettle
that was his before he sustained
that arm ailment which kept
him out of the game so long.
CrOwder Today
Whether the veteran gets an
assignment in this New York
series is problematical. Manager
johnson stated today. His down.
right plans call for Gen. Alvin
Crowder working today'S game
Fred Marberry tomorrow's and
Monte Weaver Saturdays.
These pitchers will start their
games, Manager Johnson has
planned, but if aid is needed
ne might call upon Thomas to
fill In for a faltering mate be.
cause Thomas is just as good
in a relief role as in a starting
act.
The pitcher, in his test yester-
day, went only six innings, but
was withdrawn from the box
more because of the heat than
lack of cunning.
During his six innings of tur-
moil, he looked like the pitcher
of old, particularly in the first
three innings when he set the
Brownies down in order with
little effort.
The Griffs are out to gain at
least two victories in this New
York series, by the way, even
though they realize the Yanks
will be plenty tough. Their aim
is to get Lefty Gomez out of the
way first, and if this can be
accomplished the spirit to win
will be so imbued in them that
none of Manager McCarthy's
hurlers will look mountainous,
not even Charlie Ruffing, who
has been pretty successful against
them. as well as Gomez, this
season.
Three Games Ahead
In reference TO the third-pJace
business, Our Boys" enter this
New York series three games
ahead Of the Cleveland Indians
for the now coveted berth. To
day and tomorrow the Indians
idle. This means the Griffs can
increase their lead to five games
by winning the first two con-
tests against the YankS. But
that old familiar "if" prevails,
as always, and In this case it
remains for the GriffS to "if"
themselves into a comfortable
lead for third place in this
series, IF" only they will go out
on the field and battle the Yanks
like they've never been battled
before.
They can do it, providing they
continue to keep the ESQ pace
they've shown during their home
stand which ended yesterday at

Intelligence Organization Has Made no
Investigation.

Col. w. H. Wilson, attached to the
Office of the director of Army intelh-
gence, said he had no knowledge OF
the discovery of the printing press de-
scribed by Assistant Secretary Dawson.
He said the Army Intelligence Service
does not conduct Investigations INTO
civil matters in peace time and that 1t
had nothing to do with this case.
Col. Wilson said he had a vague
recollection" of letter being received
from a person in the Middle West re-
porting the existence of some such
printing press. He said they had no
record of the disposition of this letter,
but that in the normal course 1t would
have been turned over TO the Depart
ment of Justice. He added that he
knew of no Army agency which would
have conducted such an investigation.
Assistant Attorney General Nugent
DoddS, who has been in charge OF the
Federal investigation Of the bonus riots
here, said he has never seen such a
letter and had never heard of the
printing press. Mr.. Dodds said he felt
sure he would have been advised If
any such information had been received
at the Department of Justice.
Employees of Mr.. Daviscn'S office were
endeavoring to reach him in New York
by long g-distance telephone in an effort
to ascertain the exact language he used
in reference to the discharge papers.

East and West Wings Point Craft to
Cleveland.
CINCINNATI, August q P)-En-
trants in the National Air Derby got
away at 1885 am. Eastern standard
time on the last laps to Akron and
Cleveland today, with John Hardesty.
Taft, Calf, leading the parade.
Hardesty is a member of the West
ern division of the derby, that section
starting first. with the Eastern crew
leaving half hour later.
More than three score pilots pointed
their craft toward Cleveland for the
final dash of one of the greatest flying
races in history-the 1882 Transcon-
tinental Air Derby.
Unless hit by unforeseen misfortune
on the final lap of the winner will be
Roy Hunt of Norman, Okla, who flew
into Cincinnati yesterday with 1881
points, a commanding lead over his
fellow competitors.
Stiff competition remained, however,
for the second prize and other awards.
The flyers will be due at the Cleve-
land airport at 230 pm. Eastern
standard time), as the crowning event
Of the opening program OF the national
air races.
All Hunt had to do to win the first
sweepstakes prize, consisting of $4,000
in cash, an automobile and trophy,
was to complete the final lap without
disqualification His point score was
265 in excess of his nearest competitor,
Eldon Cessna Of Wichita, Kans. who
by perfect final lap could gain only
$50.
Flying in two groups the derby flyers
started their contest last Sunday the
Eastern group from Washington. D. c.,
and the Western group from Los Ange-
les. They united at Bartlesville, Okla
Hunt and Cessna both were men,
bers OF the Pacific division and for
that reason Cessna, despite his point
score, will not receive better than third
prize, if Hunt takes first, for the rules
prevent the first and second awards
from going in the same division.
Two flyers were almost "neck-and-
neck" for point-score lead in the East
ern group at the start of the last lap.
j. C. Huffman of Cincinnati had 1912
points and Chappy Lenox of New
Haven. Conn, had 1896 Neiher could
be sure of final lead until across the
finish line.

DEFENSE MONDAY

State Will Rest After
Court ConVeneS.

preparing the defense today. following
an announcement by the prosecution
last night that they would rest their
case 10 minutes after court conveneS
Monday morning
Although defense attorneys have not
divulged the precise nature of the de-
fense, they will offer to the charge that
Duncan converted to his own use a
check for S7,815 placed in his Gus
tody during a land condemnation case,
they have frequently alluded to the fact
that he rightfully commingled his pri-
vate and public funds in one bank &C
count.
1t is expected they will offer evidence
in an attempt to prove he was unaware
Of a shortage in his accounts and that
if he withdrew the proceeds of the
S7.815 check he did 50 unwittingly and
without an intention to embezz,e the
money.
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy ordered
adjournment until Monday at the re-
quest Of Defense Attorneys Leo P.
Harlow and Amos Crounse, it having
been pointed out that the case could
not be concluded this week.
Near the end of yesterdays hearing
the prosecution introduced evidence in
support of their contention that more
than 100 checks. totaling in excess of
$4,000, had been drawn against Dun
cans bank account between May, 1880,
and April, 1882, and that the Cancelled
checks had disappeared
Prosecutors Collins Denny. jr.. and
Lawrence Douglas also called witnesses
in an effort to prove Duncan drew
duplicate pay roll checks and that the
proceeds from cashing these alleged
duplicate checks were not accounted for.
