Now Charles E. Moylan, judge

GR|FFMEN NEED
THOMAS HELP
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Despite
his teams winning pace lately,
Manager johnson is a little con-
cerned over the Griff's pitching
situation at this important stage
of the season. The uncertainty
of Tommy Thomas condition is
the big reason.
Tommy, it seems. is not in the
best of shape these days. His
trouble began in that 10-inning
1-to-0 game against the New York
Yankees about month ago. Be
cause he still feels little twitch
in his elbow, Tommy is afraid to
let out.
The last time the former White
Sox hurler worked was against
the Philadelphia AS September 4
at Griffith Stadium, but was re-
moved after the third inning be-
cause his arm and elbow began
ailing him. Johnson stated this
morning that he planned to have
Thomas work out every day from
now on to try and get him into
good enough fettle to start a
game once again.
The others have agreed to work
with only short rests between as
Signments until Thomas regainS
the full strength of his arm. So
far things have gone pretty we'll,
what with the many recent vic
tories, but another starting pitcher
is needed to really balance affairs.
Yesterdays triumphs over the
Chicago White Sox marked Nos.
7 for Marberry and 81 for
Weaver. for the season. And
the Griffs gained a half-game on
the AS despite the fact that Con-
ME Mack's men defeated the De-
troit Tigers, to 4. The Griffs
are now only one game behind
their Quaker City rivals for that
second place position.

But, by the law of averages, the
pest must remain. It seems the
Marstons, the Sweetsers, the

old ex-championS never will be

gone past them.
Somehow, Jack Westland, who

given serious consideration. Nor
is George Voigt. the idea being
that the length of the para

mitigate against Georges neces-

on his behalf is that he is very

Promoter Joe Turner uses only

Dinaldi has been billed with
Son Jennings, the Indian who

learning that the Redskins are
no saints.

Ruth Discusses
All America
Selections,
FIRST BASE

Jimmy Foxx is my choice for
first base and if all the selections
were as easy as this one was I
am quite sure there would be no
arguments. Foxx has been out
standing in a season when first
baSemen have been particularly
prominent. Jimmy has been the
leading long distance hitter of the
year and the most productive in
driving in runs. I do not regard
Foxx as the best defensive first
baSeman in the game, but he Is
plenty good enough in a defensive
way, and a better fielder, be-
lieve, than he is sometimes cred
tied. I think his heavy hitting
serves to take some attention off
this detail.
Lou Gehrig, my 1881 choice,
has had a good season, as have
Don Hurst, of the PhillieS; Bill
Terry, of the Giants; Charley
Grimm, of the Cubs; Dale Alex
ander, of the Red Sox, and Jack
Burns. of the Browns. But for
all around value I regard Foxx
as the best of the first baSemen
for this season.
Tomorrow Ruth will discuss
the second base selection. Laz-

9TH NET TITLE

AL Yeatman, of Columbia Ma
tional Bank, is beginning to
suspect that he is just about the
best tennis player in the Bankers
Tennis League.
What leads AL to these con-
clusions is the mere fact that
in six tennis tournaments staged
by this league, he has won five
of them.
He garnered his fifth edition
yesterday when he smashes out a
6-4, +6, Ga triumph over
Jimmy Heiskell, of Washington
Loan and Trust, in the finals.
Yeatman, teamed with Rip Cal
Ian, of Federal American, was
again on the right side of the
net against HeiSkell, paired with
Emery Shanks, of Riggs, in the
doubles finals, scoring Is, 6-4,
6-3.

A Hypothetical Case

why" one of them shouted
In his best trial room Oratory,
should the pitcher be charged
with an error when the first
baseman could have caught the
throw"
But he tried to catch it and
after being pulled from his posi-
ton could only get the tip of
his glove on it," the sports
savant parried.
That's true. agreed counsel
who was pleading his own case,
"but in my opinion he could
have caught the ball"
Well, gentlemen, if you folks
down at the courthouse decide
cases on presumptiouS opinion,
instead of upon facts placed in
evidence, you may charge the
error to the first baseman, or
you may give the batter a hit, but
If, on the other hand, you base
your conclusions purely on
what actually took place upon
the diamond, you must charge
the error to the pitcher whose
throw was wild.
There can be no hypothetical
cases in baseball!
No hypocritical, either!

Pro and Con

Some of the lawyers argued
1t was the first baseman'S er-

pitchers error and even some
Of the maStermindS held that
both pitcher and first baSeman
should be charged with an er.
ror while a small minority
maintained no error was per
petrated and that the batter
had beat out a hit to the
pitcher.
They couldn't leave it to a
jury, because the jury was
sworn to decide no such mat
ters and no judge would rem.
der a decision. declaring such
disputes were ultra wires.
So they called a local sports

ball, "hoss" racing, ping pong,

veal the average annual rain.

Quite naturally the decision
fixed the error upon the

It seems that the deciding
run Of a 4to-3 game pivoted on a
hand who reached first base be-
cause Of an alleged error. The
point at law concerned whether
the first baSeman or the pitcher
was responsible for the error, a
batted ball having been fielded
by the pitcher and thrown to
first base in such a manner
that the guardian thereof was
pulled up in the air and the
ball glanced off the tip of his

There were originally nine quail

Not to be overlooked are Maury
