FINAL
SWING IN
CHICAGO
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The fig
ures tell the interesting story
that the Washington Griffmen
have been quite ball club out
here in the Western section Of
the circuit this season.
Naturally it is hoped that
they won't take tumble toward
the worst at this very important
stage of the campaign when the
Griffs must experience another
successful trip or find themselves
in a most undeSired peck OF
trouble.
But getting on with our story,
the Griffs shouldn't find the
road ahead the most difficult
to travel as to the opposition in
the past has fallen down and
played dead very artistically,
even though in one or two in
stances, battles have been given
Cronin and his gang before that
game or games were won.
More Impressive
On the first trip West, the
Griffs won six contests and
dropped five, which showing
wasn't impressive. The second
journey was far more successful.
as many baseball followers will
realize and remember by now.
A terrific pace was begun and
it gathered such momentum as
the days progressed that first
place in the league standings
was snatched away from the
New York Yankees. This posi-"
ton has been occupied ever
since, with two exceptions when
the Yanks held the lead for
day or two.
Thirteen games were won on
this particular trip and only
three lost. Three out of four
were won from the st. Louis
Browns, four straight from the
Chic 1go White Sox, four of five
from the Cleveland Indians and
two of three from the Detroit
Tigers.
It will take the Griffs a long
time to forget that drive, as it
brought them into the picture
as a real pennant contender this
year and gave them the inspira-
ton to fight it out with their
New York rivals later. no matter
what sort of a battle the latter
club put up.
More Confident Now
And so we find these same
Griffmen in this section Of the
country again-hopeful, even con-
fident, of wading right through
the opposition as successfully as
was the case before. This time a
little different incentive spurs
them, as they hold five and
one-half game lead over the
Yankees for first place honors
where something like six games
had to be made up during the
last trip.
Speaking of figures again, the
Griffs are comforted by the fact
that the Yanks are faced with
the task of winning four games
every time the Griffs win three
in order to catch up before the
trips for the two teams are
ended.
Big Task for Yanks
This is a task within itself, on
the dope, and the Griffs believe
it'll prove too much for the
Yanks to overcome, despite the
fact that the Mccarthy men still
rate as dangerous contenders,
still able to give every foe real
run for their money.

Between $3,000 and $4,000 will be the cost of the special election to be held next month for the pur- pose of selecting delegates to the Connecticut constitutional conven- ton at Hartford, 1t is estimated at the present time by the local off cials. As there have been no funds provided for the expense in the budget, 1t is likely that the board of.finance will be asked at its next meeting to set up a new item pro- viding for the expense and to transfer money into the new item.
 The election to elect delegates to the constitutional convention will be held on June goth. The elec- ton will be statewide. The date of the polling was decided upon during the past week by the Legis- lature. It was originally planned to hold the election on the 17th but change was made because the 17th falls on Saturday and there might be some religious ob- jections to holding it then.
 When the board of finnace made up the 1883 budget last November, the special election was not an- ticipated for 1t was not until early this year that Congress directed the states to decided on repeal through the medium of constitu- tional conventions.
 The same voting machines will be used in the special election as are used in regular election. However, the people will vote for candidates who are "dry" or for candidates who are ''wet" instead of along party lines. The regis trars of voters will have to super wise the voting, as usual, and the usual number of election officials

U. 5. WORKERS
 WIN RIGHT TO
 RADIO PATENTS x
Supreme Court Grant s Them Control of Three
 Inventions

Washington, (UP)-Two govern ment employees, who developed val uable radio patents while working on the Bureau of Standards, were granted permission to retain their patents by a recent decision of the supreme court.
 The men were were Francis w. Dunmore, head of the bureaus radio research division. and one of his assistants, Percival D. Lowell. They developed mechan- isms which covered sets and loud speakers from alternating cur rent and the elimination of hum, and they took out three patents covering these appliances.
 Because the work had been done on government time and fre- quently with government instru- ments, suit was brought to force them to turn over to the United States the rights to the inven- tions. They claimed, however, that the improvements were the result of their own scientific curiosity
 The third circuit court of ap- ueals. in Philadelphia, ruled that Dunmore and Lowell lawfully owned the patents, and the su- preme court upheld the decision
 Tn the ruling by the latter body however, a dissenting opinion was handed down by Justice Stone with Chief Justice Hughes and Justice Cardozo concurring, that the patents should have been cancelled completely.

BANNED FLIGHTS
 FATAL FOR 92

Washington (UP)-Cfvil aviation aircraft accidents during flights, which were in violation of De- partment of Commerce rules, re- suited in the loss of 92 lives in 1882, according to a report made public by Col. Clarence M. Young, assistant secretary of commerce for aviation.
 Sixty-three persons were severe ly injured and GA suffered minor injuries in accidents which were coupled with violation of depart ment rules, Colonel< Young said. Out of a total of 570 flights violat- ing air rules, which were acted upon by the department, 217 re- suited in accidents.
 "The study showed" said Col onel Young, "that there was a far greater proportion of accidents involving violations than in opera tions conforming strictly to the air commerce regulations and the air traffic rules. Notwithstanding that the violation flights made up a very small part of the total fly ing, they accounted for approxi- mately one-fourth of the fatal ac- cidents and nearly one-third of the fatalities.

BEER SHOOTS
 IN MANY PLACES
 ARE DRY TO-DAY

Hartford. Conn, May 6.-(UP)- Spigots from which the new 3.2 beer spouted yesterday in some Connecticut cities and towns were dry today. Enactment of the vali- dating amendment to the liquor control bill, which was signed yes- terday afternoon by Governor Cross, ended all doubt as to the validity of the law and the illegal status of beer until the governor proclaims sales legal. Until the amendment was signed prosecutors in some towns along the sound contended beer sales were legal, and refused to prosecute.
 Governor Cross, 1t was expected, will proclaim the law Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. The draft of his proclamation already has been sent to the printers. Meantime retailers and wholesal- CTS continued preparation for the rush of business they expect next week. The beer control commis- sion employees were busy receiving applications for peImits. Breweries announced they had ample sup plies of aged beer and ale on hand for delivery.
