Thus, was your Uncle Clark
Griffith's suggestion to AL Schacht
and Johnny Kerr the other day
while discussing the trials and
tribulations of those performers
known as first and third base
coaches in the daily games OF
each team in the league.
81 make enough noise at
third base, don't l." asked
Schacht.
"Yep, but you want to make
more," Griff answered. "How
about whistling a little louder.
That'll help"
"Whatta va mean. Griff, must
I whistle the club into a pen
nant?" cOuntered Schacht.
"Sure, do that if you have to,
as that'll help as much as any
thing else," said Griff. "And
Johnny, you make more noise
out there. Give 'em all you
have"
And so, you have the reason
why AL Schact and Johnny Kerr
are yelling their heads off out on
the field these days. Anything
to help grab the pennant, is their
motto.
Kerr on Job
And it might be said both have
answered the call in great fash
ion this su m mer, particularly
Kerr, who has been a new man
at the job.
Manager Cronin made Kerr his
first base coach, when Nick AL
trock began feeling the strain, be-
cause the little infielder has al
ways impressed him as being full
of vim, wigor and vitality, also
full Of enough baseball sense to
handle the signs" flashed in the
daily games from the players
bench.
So Little Johnny" as he's
known by his mates, was given
the job early this season and he's
been at it ever since. And there's
been very few occasions when the
veteran infielder has been wrong
in sending base-runners down to
second after getting on" while
his pep and vigor has been notice
able even though Griff offered
the suggestion for bit more of it.
Just another of those swell fel-
lows to have around a ball club,
that's all. And when you :ome to
think of it, he and Schacht make
a capable pair, Al with his whistl-
ing, contortions, etc.
Washington hadn't seen any
baseball for weeks until yesterday
and the fans made the Griffs feel
quite at home by cheering each
man as he stepped to bat for the
first time.
Of the first four batsmen, Man
ager Joe Cronin responded with a
hit-a line single to right. Fred
Schultz, however, drove into a
double play to end what might
have been threat as his grounder
was gobbled up by Warstler and
handled by McManus and Hodapp
in expert tWin-killing fashion.
Local Boy Makes Good
Bill Werber, one of those real
cases Of a local boy making good,
helped the Red Sox to their first
run in the third when he tripled
to the left-field corner and scored
a moment later on divers grass
er to Cronin.
The Griffs got right back into
the game in their end of the third
when Sewel walked, Myer singled
and Goslin drove vicious double
to left. Myer, on this hit, came
through with q fine sprint to
reach home, sliding in with plenty
to spare as Left Fielder Dusty
Cooke, of the Red Sox, tried
nightly to make shoestring
catch.
Bluege and Cronin made ex-
cellent stops and throws to retire
Hodapp and Warstler in the
seventh. Bluege cut down the
formers grasSer far back of third
and made the throw to first in
time for the putout, while Cronin
grabbed WarStler'S slow roller in
deep short a moment later to
throw the little shortstop out by

BOSTON FALLS
BEFORE J|NX
Of WEAVER
(By Times Staff Correspondent

by Times Staff Correspondent
BOSTON, Sept. 4.-Tradition
is a funny thing at times, but in
the cast of Monte Weaver
against the Boston Re Sox yes
terday in that ever-tou h game
at Griffith Stadium, it lust had
to favor the Griffs, or else-well,
you figure up one.
At any rate, Weaver has sci.
dom been beaten by the Sox DUR
ing the last two seasons in fact,
has never been known to have
pitched what could be called a
bad game against them. So yes
terday, it was fitting that he
should hurl excellent ball again
and win in the ninth when Pinch
Hitter Cliff Bolton singled to
left scoring Ossie Bluege from
second base with the decisive
counter. Thus, the Griffs length.
ened their lead to 812 games,
the Yanks idling due to rain.
For Weaver it marked his
eighth victory of the season and
his fifth since his record return
to form. Monte was reached for
seven hits by the SoX, but with
the exception of their two scoring
innings-the third and sixth-he
kept them we'll scattered while
along with it he had enough in
reserve to stem the tide when the
same Sox threatened several
times
Triples Bring Runs
Two triples, one by Bill WerbeE
Washington lad, and Dusty Cooke,
former Yankee star, helped the
Sox to each of their runs in the
third and sixth. Werber trotted
home on divers infield out after
his in the third while Cooke easily
counted on Jolley's grounder to
Myer after his three -bagger in the
sixth.
Ivy Paul Andrews, another
Yank cast-off, hurled for the SoX
throughout and as the score indi
Gates, gave Weaver quite battle.
The Griffs punched two hits and
a walk for 2 to l lead, when
Sewell walked, Myer singled and
Goslin doubled in the third, but
Cookies triple and Jolley's infield
out put the Sox right back in the
game in their portion of the sixth.
Manager Cronin's strategy won
the game in the ninth and
spoiled what probably was An
drews' best effort of the season,
Two were out when Bluege
punched a dinky single to right
and Sewell walked.
Bolton Decides Issue
With the game close. but q
chance open to score just the
same, Cronin withdrew Weaver
in favor of Cliff Bolton, who
crashed through with a single to
end the game.
With this victory under thei1
belts, the Griffs today held hopes
of taking both games of this
afternoons holiday double-header
here. Lefty Walker Stewart was
"down" to pitch one of the games
while Ed Chapman may get a
chance in the other. The GriffA
swept their last series here with
the Sox, taking three straight
games.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-More fruits and vegetables and less bread and meat are wanted by the Navy for it's sailors.

 As result, is was intimated, the Leagues conciliation efforts might be resumed.
