"Frenchy" Coming Back

A lot Of you can visualize
now, 'Frenchy," coat cast aside,
sleeves rolled up, trotting out
on the roof of the Washington
dugout and rootin' those babies
home.
Well. the reason we bring
SIR enchy' out of those
olden, golden days along the
SaWduSt trail is cause
"Frenchy" is coming back to
Washington for the "Ossie
Bluege Day" September 9 at the
ball park-the honor being
planned by national and civic
leaders and sponsored by The
Washington Times.
We got to thinking about
"Frenchy" yesterday afternoon.
1t rained most all day and it
was a day for sitting inside and
conjuring memories and shad-
owS and phantoms of the
sporting greats.
Certainly "Frenchy" is a very
vivid ghost of those days and
times, and it occurred to us he
should come back to show the
modern fan how they used to
root the club to victory in the
mauve decade.

which had as fine a 5 o'clock

Scallions as you'd ever care to
stick your teeth around.
And they say some Of those
places will soon be back with
us, and perhaps "Frenchy" will
come back with them and open
a place, not too far away from
the revised newspaper row, with
little tables under the awnings
on the sidewalk like they have
in his native Paree.
That would enable him, of
afternoon, to take off the
cloths, turn the chairs up
against the tables edge, and
hang a sign on the tree-box, like
he used to do on the swinging
doors 20 years ago, which would
read:

In Half Minute

Well, to give you the whole
picture, we grabbed the phone
and called for a Baltimore
newspaper. We said we wished
to locate a certain Frenchman
who, the last time we heard, was
selling extracts for a Baltimore
firm and whose name was
Pierre Bonseigneur.
In half a minute we had his
home and telephone addresses,
and by way of introducing the
Ossie Bluege Day idea to him
we said over long distance:
"Frenchy, I've got a letter
from a fan asking me a base
ball question which is beyond
my powers to answer, and ]
called you up to ask you to help
me out"
"Certainement, mon ami" he
said in his most exquisite and
polite PariSien, "Que vOulez
VOus SavOir?"
ut is this Frenchy. A fan
wants to know who is the out

TWO ERRORS
IN 6 T|LTS
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

u
Times Staff Correspondent
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 22.-The
Griffmen have been leading the
pack for several weeks now and
appear to be strong enough to
carry right on until the very end
of the season.
But what has kept them on top
all this time? And why hasn't
some other club been able to give
them battle, even supplant them
for first place honorS?
The time-worn adage Figures
don't lie," prove to the doubling
Thomases the reasons why.
Manager Cronin and his gang
played well-night perfect ball last
week, excluding Sundays twin bill
with the Browns, winning six
games while losing none. During
this period 80 runs were scored,
IS base hits Smacked out, and only
2 errors committed.
The feature of this record is
the fact that more runs were
scored on less hits and fewer err
rors made than by any other
club in the circuit. An excellent
illustration of this is the Cleve-
land Indians work for the week.
The Indians won six games, lost
two, but in turning in this record
had to sock out 80 hits to gather
48 runs, their error total reaching
as high as five.
Yanks Terrible
The New York Yankees expert
enced a terrible time, on the dope,
as only two games could be
grabbed while four were lost, their
run total for the week being 36 as
against their opponents 38. AS to
errors they committed five.
The Philadelphia AS had the
worst time as their work was
marred by the fact that 16 errors
were committed in seven games,
only two of which were won while
five were entered on the wrong
side of the ledger.
The Detroit Tigers, Boston Red
Sox, IT. Louis Brown and Chi
cago White SoX, although they
Jared both good and bad during
the week, were not able come
up to the Griffs' standard of
play q. of which makes the
reasons so much NOR! apparent
why Cronin and his team are
leading the race today and why
they should continue to lead it
until the final day of the cam
paign.
Play One Game Today
The Griffs open with the
Tigers by playing single game
today, a double-header was origi-
nally scheduled but has been
moved up until tomorrow.
Manager Cronin, upon learn
ing this change, was all smiles
as he said it enable him to
straighten out his pitching plans
a little better.
'I'll start Monte Weaver in
tOday's single game" he said,
"then I'll come back with Cen
eral Alvin CrOwder and Lefty
Walter Stewart in the double
header scheduled tomorrow.
This will bring Earl Whitehill
to the mound Thursday with
either Bob Burke or Tommy
Thomas for Fridays contest.
"I'm really glad that the
double header was shifted to
Wednesday because now Crow
der won't be forced to go into
action too soon and Stewart,
well, he should be Just right to
start again after last Sundays
five inning turmoil"
Seek More Wins
The Griffs, now that they've
broken the league record for con-
secutive victories, have a chance
to stretch their total to a new
high in this series.
But if you should ask the GriffS
about the matter, they'd tell you
that they didn't care about rec
ords so long as they kept ahead
of the Yankees for first place.
Which is the best idea to hold
