The Washington times., 1933-09-08

Early this season the Griffs we're
given a battle by opponents for
the day every time they stepped
out on the field. 1t didn't matter
who this foe was, as it was just
a case of battling to a finish in
every game, regardless of score.
ChisOx Give Battle
The Griffs have only been back
home two days following their last
Western swing around the circuit
for the campaign. But they've been
given two battles by the White
Sox-battles that have been real
ones from the first inning to last.
And because of all the turmoil,
the idea has been brought to mind
that maybe that lightning, so pre-
dominant earlier this year, is max
ing its presence again despite the
fact that it shouldn't, according
to tradition or somethin'.
The Griffs aren't really bother
ing about the matter, however,
just so they win the games
needed to clinch the old gonfalon.
Let 'em be tough, they say,
something of the sort must be
expected at this stage of the
race as everyone of their foes
are ''in there" trying each day
to better their positions.
Logic Is Right
All of which is not bad logic
at that, eh?
Weaver got off to a bad start
in the first inning when he
walked Swanson on four con.
secutive "wide ones" then pitched
fifth to Haas, the next batter.

TABLES TURNED
ON GR|FFS BY
SAM JONES

Baseball has always been an
unusual game and it promises
to continue being such until the
end of time. In fact, it's some
thing of what the cub reporter
would call newspaper work when
first breaking in-fasclnatlng.
There's no doubt about IT,
there's something different every
day to whet the most serious
fans appetite. Take. for ex'
ample, the games of the past
two days between the Griffmen
and Chicago White Sox.
wednesday, Manager Cronin,
of the Griffs, started a new prize
package in the person OF Alec
McCoil when he handed that S9'
year-old performer the pitching
assignment in the opening con
test of the current series with
the SoX.
McColl put that something
different" in the game by pitch
ing his head off to defeat the
Sox by a 3-to-1 score. Now the
item that made this performance
unusual, different or what-have-
you, is the fact that McColl was
pitching for the first time as
big league starter after 81 years
or more as a minor league hurler.
Yesterday. it was the White
Sox turn to supply the unusual
in a series that promises to be full
of unexpected events before the
last game is ended tomorrow eve
ning-Ossie Bluege Day, by the
way.
Jones Is Winner
They started a fellow by the
name of Sam Jones, who not only
answers to the age of Al, but also
acknowledges that he's been
big league pitcher for almost 20
years-something that matches
McColl's record even though Nc
Coll should have been in the ma
jors a long time ago.
Jones pitched a remarkable
game for the Sox out there yes
terday. Although the sun was
beating down like mid-July, the
veteran stuck to his task like a
trojan and finally won out l to 0
by virtue of a Sox rally off Monte
Weaver, Griff hurler for the day,
in the ninth. The Griffs collected
eight hits off Sam, but not in one
inning were they able to bunch
them to the extent of pushing
across couple of runs.
In the ninth, Jones put forth
his best pitching. Fred Schultz
singled to right after Cronin had
grounded out, to give the Griffs
a life. Then Joe Kuhel doubled
down the right field line, sending
Schultz to third. Here, Cliff Bol,
ton was inserted at the plate for
Bluege, but Jones, fearing that
base hit would ruin his fine ef-
forts prior to this frame, gave
Bolton an intentional pass which
loaded the bases.
Rice Strikes Out
Sam Rice was then rushed up to
face Jones in Luke Sewell's turn
at the plate. But Rice failed to
come through with a needed hit
as Jones struck him out after hav-
ing thrown three wide pitches.
The third strike was a called one.
In desperation, Manager Cronin,
of the Griffs, gave Dave Harris his
bat and told him to bat for Monte
Weaver.

LOGAN'S MEN
ARE STRONG
AND FAST
BY HARRY COSTELLO

By HARRY COSTELLO
Modern football stresses the
Importance of excellent guards.
These players today must be
agile, aggressive, alert. They
must be fast. They must have a
sense of direction beyond the
average.
Major Frank Cavanaugh was
wont to say, Give me a good
pair of guards and I'll give you a
whale of an end run"
The Iron Major" realized that
the guards are important cogs
Of a successful interference.
Three Great Pairs
George washington University's
Colonials, in training at Camp
Let's, Md, have three pairs of
excellent guards, and an extra
man to boot. They are good
guards. One of them-the color
fW Zuzu Stewart, veteran line
man-is star in his own right.
Three of them are six feet tall
or more and they average 1877
pounds. Two of them are each
five feet, 10 inches tall, and
this pair average 181 pounds.
The seven Colonial guards
average 1872 pounds. If you
leave Stewart out of the compila-
tion, and Boyd Hickman, two
veterans Of the squad of guards,
the remaining five average 1876
pounds.
Three sophomores, two juniors
and two seniors are included in
the seven.
SOphs Are Promising
All three sophs are promising
players. They are Jack Nor
rison, who halls from Abilene,
Kan, six feet tall, 1876 pounds,
wiry, agile and fast; William
Thomas McShane, of the Wheel
ing (W. VaO McShaneS, an even
six feet tall, 1875 pounds of dyna-
mite; and William Hollis Har-
rison, who is only 10 years old
and who halls from Pine Bluff,
Ark, stands feet 2 inches in
his stocking feet and tips the
beam at 181.
Henry Strayer, from York, Pa,
who is only S feet 7 inches tall
and who weighs 1870, bids fair
this year to come into his own.
He is a hard worker.
j. Merrill Kayser, from Wealth
erford, Tex, is six feet tall and
scales in at 1875. He is a prom
Using candidate.
Strayer and Kayser are juniors.
Hickman and ZuZu
Hickman and Stewart are
seniors. The former is 5 feet 10
inches tall and weighs 176, while
Zuzu is 5 feet 8 inches tall and
weighs only 1877.
No team could ask for better
candidates for the guard positions
than these seven men. Under the
tutelage of Roland Logan, former
Kansas star, these candidates
should be able to master position
play. Already they are rapidly
learning the fine art of coming
out Of the line into the interfer-
ence.
In yesterdays two long drills, !
the Colonials looked and acted
like squad in great physical
shape. The days hard work ended
with a scrimmage against the
tough yearling team. The second
string varsity, on offense, was
stopped cold by the freshies. How
ever, when the first string. led
by Capt. Lee Carlin, went into &C.
tion, the yearlings crumpled.
No Serious Injury
Not a serious injury has visited
the squad to date, despite the
hardest sort of work and the
toughest kind of scrimmaging.
Two or three of the boys are all
ing, but from minor pains and
aches. ZuZu Stewart is troubled
with a boil in the ear, but he has
participated in every scrimmage.
Chris Doose, the southpaw full
back, has an infected toe. Ozie
Wray, the big end, is suffering
with blistered feet. Outside of
these three, the whole squad ap-
pears in tip-top shape.

trouble. CRUDE followed by

trouble. CRUDE followed by
grounding out to Bluege.
Mule Haas gathered the first
Sox hit off Weaver in the sixth
when he doubled off the right
field fence. This bingle came just
after Kuhel had robbed Swanson
of a hit by fetching the latter's
swinging bunt down the first base
line.
Kuhel grabbed this bunt several
feet away from the first sack and
slid into first for the putout ahead
of the fleet Swanson only by
inches.

EXPENDITURE OF $4,0OO
 ON RIVER PLANNED

Four thousand dollars of the $5,000 appropriation made by the Alaska Legislature for To- cal flood relief work will be ex- pended this year under the di- rection of the Territorial Road Board, according to telegram from William A. Hesse, Terri torial Highway Engineer, re- ceived Wednesday by the Fly der Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. Hesse's message reads as follows:
 "Territ3rial Road Board to- day authorized the expenditure of four thousand dollars fol Hyder Flood control, available immediately.
 Tt is intended that this mon- ey will be expended by force account under my direction and 1 expect to leave here with Representative Green for Fly der shortly"
 As most of the appropriation will be expended for labor, this means that work will be avail able for a considerable number of the unemployed during the summer period.
 This will be very welcome to Hyder, where a majority of the workers have had no re- munerative employment for two years or more as a re- suit of the decadence of min- ing and the low prices for met. als.
