Griffmen EIated
Over Winning
Streak
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 9.-One
would think the Griffs were on
the verge of winning a pennant,
so happy are they these days.
The real reason, of course, is
the triumphant spurt of the past
month.
The Griffs like to win like all
teams. And the fact that they
have been succeeding lately has
added to their vim and vigor
which Manager johnson hopes
will continue.
"When a collection of players
are in high spirits a team is
bound to do some winning"
was JOhnson's comment this
morning. my only hope is
that our triumphant squirt will
continue and that second place
will be gained before many
days. In reference to the
spirit, there's no reason why it
shouldn't keep up among the
boys as they're as HnxiOuS as
1 am to grab that second place
position for the year."
1t might be said the Griffs are
not letting their spirit get too
much of toe-hold on them. They
realize that it takes more than
Just that to grab that second place
berth.
BusineSS-Like
Thus, when they pounce upon
the field a buSiness-like attitude
is taken in the idea that every
game must be battled for even
though that feeling is there that
they're going to win.
One other thing, the GriffS
have found out that they must
score triumphs every day if they
can if the Cleveland Indians are
going to be kept at respectable
distance behind them. The In
dians in fourth place, are only 212
games away from the Griffs and
they are winning consistently
enough right now to be dangerous
at all times.
Although the Indians have been
pretty tough to beat all year, the
GriffS were pulling for them today
to continue defeating the AS in
their current series with that
team. The Griffs, to balance the
thing, feel that they will be able
to down Peck's men when they
meet them later on this trip
which battles promise to be plenty
important particularly if third or
second place is at stake at that
time.
Gain On Macks
The Tribe, even though they kept
pace in their battle to regain
third place, did the Griffs great
turn yester day when they
trounced the AS 2 to /. This turn
of affairs enabled the GriffS to
gain a full game on the Mack
men in the struggle for second
place, and reduced the Philadel-
phia teams lead to two games
where it was three before yester-
day.
In conclusion, Manager John
son is hoping that his pitchers
will be able to come through in
the remaining games of this series
against the Browns as we'll as
Professor Monte Weaver did yes.
terday.
"It's downright encouraging
when you don't have to call
upon a relief pitcher in this or
that game" johnson unused to-
day. "Weaver's performance
yesterday was one of this sort.
I'm hoping both CrOwder and
Marberry, who 1 will use in the
next two games against the
Browns, will be as successful.
If they are, we'll be all set for
the few, but important double
headers ahead of u.s.

TOMORROW
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


With the District amateur golf
championship tucked under his
belt, Roger Peacock. the 21-year.
old Indian Spring Club player,
was resting today, but there was
plenty of golf just around the
corner for him.
Peacock is one of the nine Dis
trict golfers who qualified for the
national amateur championship
which opens Monday over the
Five Farms layout tomorrow and
Sunday.
The Indian Spring youngster
carved 299 for 70 holes to wrcst
the local crown from Harry G.
Pitt, of Manor Club, in the tourna-
ment ended yesterday at the
Chevy Chase course, par for which
is SO.
Second Under 300 Mark
Peacock thus becomes the sec.
ond player in the history of the
local championship to get under
800. George j. Voigt, then a
member of Bannockburn. turned
in 29l, the record, to grab the
laurels at Indian Spring in 1925
and retained his title with a 29l
the next year at Burning Tree,
The defending champion, Pitt
finished with 300, 10 strokes be
hind Peacock. Uniquely, the new
champion was runner-up to PITY
at Burning Tree last year. JohL
c. Shorey, of Manor Club, whI
has always landed we'll up if
recent championships, was fourth
with 313. Martin E. Mccarthy
of Beaver Dam, nosed out Shore1
for third with 312. finishing hi
final round with IS.
Actually, Peacock spread

leader from the start, never be.
ing endangered. He was in front
by five strokes after 18 holes,
seven strokes at the halfway post
and IL when 81 holes had beer
passed. He cast away strokes
like waste paper on the first nine
of the final lap. taking A, nine
over par. but his closest rivals
didn't seize this chance to slice
huge chunks from Peacock's tire.
mendouS margin.
Pitt TightenS Game
Over this same distance, Pitt
was Al and Shorey 40, the latter
being on even terms with hig
fellow club member as they EN-,
barked on the last leg. Shorey
faltered, taking 40, while Pitt
tightened and finished with SO,
two over par.
Indeed, Peacock might have
bettered Voigt's scoring mark
were it not for high cards on the
first nine of both morning and
afternoon rounds. He required
40 for the first nine in the morn
ing. In the afternoon, he began
superbly with three straight parS
but went amiss on the short par
three fourth where he trapped
his drive, nearly exploded over
the green and then three-putted
There followed series Of
blunders that shadowed him until
the tenth where he regained his
stride with a par 3.
Almost FIawleSS Golf 70
Except for three puts at the
fourteenth and trapping himself
with his second at the seven
teenth, Peacock played flawleSsly
on the incoming trip which he
journeyed in IS. one over par.
Pitt was stymied by that diff.
cult first nine. famed for two
days by a brisk northwest wind.
Only in the afternoon round Of
the first day did he approach par
thereon. getting SO. one over.
His other rounds were Al, A, Al.
Harry also couldn't tame thG
hook that often betrays him.

the sharp teeth seize their prey they

The family life of otters Is ideal.
They make their home on the banks
close to the water, IN a cave between
the rocks or among the roots Of great
tree overhanging the water. The room
will be lined with grass and leaves and
used in the daytime. There is always
tunnel to the water.
Offers do not hibernate Their coats
are SO heavy that cold has no terror
for them. In the Winter they love to
climb high hills and coast down them.
They lie fiat with the front feet bent
backward and give themselves push
of with the hind feet. They tobOggan
with such speed as If shod with snow
shoes and will stop only long enough
to seek food and necessary sleep.
As pets they are most satisfactory.
The successful ones are taken very
young and become devoted and faith
full to their owners. They are very in
telligent and may be taught to serve
you In many ways. They are ever
ready to play and learn to do tricks
quickly.
They have many ways of expressing
their emotions and you soon learn to
interpret them. An otter which is

Nv are the favorite sports OF the

diving are more natural to
them than walking. They are sociable
creatures. The whole family enjoys
sliding down an oozy mud bank and
landing In the water below, as mucn as
q boy does shooting the chutes.
The famous divers are agile SWIM
mers. Their long, cylindrical bodies are
built to cleave the water. Their heads
are fiat, necks short and tails long and
powerful. That fiat tail Is used as a
rudder or propeller, assisting the SWIM
mer to turn in the water.
When the otter dives he closes his
nostrils, which are mere Sits; the mouth
is closed by strong muscular elastic lips
and the ears are sealed by fold OF
skin.
The lovely fur coat is glossy gray
brown, except for a few white chin
whiskcrs. It is thick, close and long,
with an undercoat which Is dense and
soft.
The otter is always fat, and rarely
does his skin get wet. When it does he
remains out of the water until he is
perfectly dry. Although the eyes are

other hand would make the mercury

That is one example Of the old rule.

Fahrenheit wanted to measure the

thermometer in the mixture, he brought
the mercury down to a point which he
decided to mark zero
Salt water, as you probably know.

before it will freeze. Fahrenhelt
marked his thermometer with degrees,
and found that fresh water would
freeze at 80 degrees above his salt water
zero.
In very cold places. mercury ther-
mometers are not good to use. because
mercury will freeze when 1t Is 50 de-
grees below zero. In such places. peo-
pie generally use colored alcohol in
stead of mercury for the tubes.
Alcohol thermometers can be used IN
such a place as Northern Siberia. In
one part Of Siberia. the average day OF
January is about 60 degrees below zero
On certain days. the temperature In
one part Of Siberia has been as much
as 90 degrees below zero!
The coldness of Siberia is supposed
to be "dry" and therefore not SO hard
to stand but dry or wet, I should not
care to spend Winter there. 1t was
cold enough for me one week in Min
nesota with the temperature around 40

Men of science use the Centigrade
thermometer. which has the fresh water
freezing point as Zero" and 100 degrees
above zero as the boiling point Of fresh
water at sea level. The Centigrade
system of marking degrees is more
sensible, and 1t may come into general
use some day.
