- REAT days for pitchers in
| the American League
~ swell moments, gentlemen,
for hurlerS in any loop.

Squint around and you'll find three
trading pool fishing, their ears back for
one hurler, who, when you look ur
the current edition of base ball records
is doing none too well. The last time
I saw his marks it was eight losses and
one win. Awful! But. apparently, the
best any man can do with the Boston
Red SoX. who are Woefully floundering
around in the cellar of the American
League. Something surely has got to
be done about the Sox. They are nc
credit to the league.
Danny MacFayden is the young
man-bespectacled Daniel, who would
be a great guy if he was with a team
that could get him some runs. But
the Sox cannot. and Boston, figuring
no doubt. that it is doing humane
act toward a good fellow. is willing
to swap him-let him go for plenty
of what it takes, whether it is
players or money.
Those Sox are not SO bad off for
pitchers-but. my. how your Uncle
Clark is jammed up on account of the
lack of pitchers Unclels fishing hard
for Danny Don't let them tell you
that Griff is not working to nail an
ether boxman. 1t means the difference
between small money and big money
to the Mats boss man. If a winning
hurler can be shared now the Griffs
stay up in the race. If he cannot
we'll go down the standings and pick
nice low spot for your favorite club
And remember. when the club begins
to lose the cash registers in the box

Griff's hurlers are tired. his de-

Down in the cornpone belt this
Spring Griff said that he felt shaky
about his mound staff. He was con-
fident of its willingness to try. but
doubted that it would be power
full enough to snag a flag. So he
promised all on deck that he was
going to get another hurler to add
to his flock. At that time, believe,
Grin was not sure that his club
was going to get of to a smart start.
Now that it has, he Is practically

with circuit drives in two games on
Memorial day and rammed the ball out
of Shibe Park three times in scoring
their 5-to-4 win in II innings.
One homer was a terrific drive to

center by Carl Reynolds in the second
inning Another was a smash to the
upper left field stand by Joe Cronin
in the ninth to make the Nationals
count match that of three piled up
by the AS off Ragland. Still another
was Heinie Manush's fourth homer in
four successive days, a slam over the
right field barrier made off the fir
pitch in the eleventh by Earnshaw
successor to Freitas
The AS got that run back when
Fischer weakened to pass two batters
before giving way to Weaver. The
second Washington relief hurler made
a wild pitch that moved Bishop tc
third, from where he crossed when
Simmons hit a long fly.
After two were out in the twelfth

vantage with ease.

said today: I'VE ought to make some
headway in our play with the Red Sox
and 1 believe we will. They've been
tough for us at times this season, but
we've a far better ball club mat should
win.
And remember, while we're playing
these Red Soy six times in four days,
the Athletics and Yankees will be put
ting on six battles in as brief time in
Philadelphia. I've an idea the AS Will
pull the Yankees back in their series.
Macks club still locks better to me than
the New York bunch.
We're Only four and a half games
back of New York and we're game
and a half ahead of the AS this morn

Tigers, Wins for us here, with the AS
licking the Yankees, would alter the

Even with small pitching stan at
hand. I'm not conceding the others

IT was a day for big-league debuts,
i and Tony Freitas really made big
league bow when he topped the NIL
for the Athletics 1t was the first major
league appearance in any way for the
stocky left-hander Portuguese recently
purchased by the AS from Sacramento
of the Pacific Coast circuit.
Tony tips the scales at ITO pounds,
but in height he is but S feet inches,
and 1t was his lack of stature that kept
the big-league scouts off him, though
he was accounted the most bralny
hurler and the one with the greatest
natural ability in the Coast League.
The chunky Tony showed the Nationals
a lot of pitching yesterday. even though
two homers were made off him in the
10 innings he was out there working
for Connie Mack.
The Nationals got seven hits besides
those homers off Freitas, but only two
of the others, and singles at that, ac-
counted for a score. Tony was lifted
after going 10 rounds because Manager
Mack thought Pinch batter Hevlng
might end the game when the AS had
two on with two out, but he made
Johnson's charges think much of him
before he went.

Even though ccmbed for 10 hits IN
the 7 rounds he toiled before giving way
to a pinch batter, when the Nationals

the contest, Ragland was Impressive

made off him was earned and his con-
troll was of the highest order.
Ragland was especially sturdy When

took a lucky triple by Simmons and
wild chuck by the usually rellaoie
Judge to get as many as three taliies on
him. Outside of Cramer and Coleman,
who got three hits each while he was
on the hill, the Athletics didn't bother
Ragland to any great extent.
So intelligent was Ragland In MS

Pwhian Games We're Contests of Culture

co much stress has been placed upon the
Olympic games that it is common to think
of Greek contests in the light of athletic prow-
ess but equally as important as the Olympic
contests were the old Pythian games, which
gave most of their attention to the arts and
literature
The beginning of the games stretches back
into the realms of mythology and is credited
to Apollo. According to the ancient belief.
Apollo flushed with his victory over the snaky
monster Python, inaugurated the annual fes-
tival. They were conducted under the lead
ership of the Delphians for many years, but
around 600 BIC. they passed under the control
of the Amphyctions. They were placed upon
a four-year basis at this time and when given
were employed to honor Apollo.
Because they honored Apollo the sweet sing
er of the Olympic gods, it was natural that
the first Pythan games should be, in reality,
a contest of musicians. The festival continued
as such for a long period, but about the time
the Amphyctions assumed control athletic
contests, horse races and various competitions
in art and literature were added, thus making
Of the festival not only competition of culture,
but meeting of those not gifted in the arts
of the day.
The Pythian games, as such, ended around
the first of the fifth century after the birth of
Christ. Their influence has lived after them,
