LIT TIE.
HOPE, BUT
IS STRY|NG

Owner Clark Griffith today was
still trying to strengthen his
pitching staff as the zero hour
of midnight wore on, after which
league trading must cease.
Although he had received little
encouragement up to noon, he ad-
mitted he had made an offer or
two which involved cash rather
than any member of the present
Washington team.
Insofar as trades are concerned.
Griff has not expected any great
amount of cooperation from
other American League teams as
they all realize Washington is a
serious bidder for the pennant,
and with the Yanks, AS, White
Sox, Tigers and Indians also de-
claring themselves still in the
race, none Of them have been
prone to boost Washington's
chances by sending good ma
terial here.
However, Griff was still trying
as the day and evening wore on.
and declared only time will tell
whether any of his offers will be
accepted.
Griff expressed himself as
pleased that the American League
umpires at last are doing their
duty toward the New York players
in eliminating them from games
as a result of questioning their
decisions.

BY GARRETT WATERS
(Times staff Correspondent

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June IS.
The breaks that occur in baseball
offer many an interesting topic
for discussion during the course
Of a season, particularly when
those breaks favor the home team.
The Griffmen, playing exhibi-
ton games these days while mark
ing time before the beginning Of
an important western invasion at
st. Louis Saturday. can be said
to have received a most fortunate
break this season even though
they may not have realized it.
Briefly, it revolves around two
of the hurlers on Manager
Cronin's staff, Prof. Monte
Weaver and Jack Russell, the first
named is out at present with a
sore arm, and because Of 1t
thereby hangs this tale.
It's a well known fact Weaver
hasn't been himself this year due
mainly to that sore arm Of his.
He started out well in the spring
by defeating the Boston Red Sox
in torrid 2-to-1 game, and fol-
lowed this up with one or two
other capable efforts, but in the
last few weeks hasn't been able
to help his team because forced
on the sidelines.
Russell BObs Up
In his place has bobbed up
Jack Russell, young right-hander,
acquired from the Cleveland In
dianS last winter in one of the
numerous trades pulled off by
Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington club.
Most every washington fan
interested in the daily doings of
the Griffmen knows what an aid
Russell has been to the team in
recent weeks. But for those who
aren't familiar, he's stepped right
into Weaver's shoes and delivered
for Manager Joe Cronin like sew
eral performers in his case sell
dom have.
Gain Half Game
Today, they're even more jubil-
ant as they were winning a 3 to l
encounter from the Wheeling
StogieS yesterday even though it
didn't mean a thing, they gained
another half game on the New
York Yankees, who lost another
contest to the rejuvenated Boston
Red Sox, 13 to S.
Two games behind their pesky
league-leading rivals today, Man
ager Cronin and his men were
hopeful that the Sox would paste
the Yanks again this afternoon
while they faced the Indianapolis
Indians in a exhibition contest.
Time will tell whether this occurs
or not.
Manush's home run and the
nifty pitching of Earl Whitehill
and Bill McAfee, featured the
Griffs' win at Wheeling yesterday.
Al Schacht and Nick Altrock got
into the proceedings before it
was over and It was just the
item that sent the fans home
in a joVial mood for the day

POLICE NINE

Although the Fred s. Gichner
Iron Works baseball team has no
chance to win the first half of the
Industrial League series, during
the past week they have been
making it hot for the league
leaders.
Yesterday the Ironmen gave
the Metropolitan Police the short
end Of a 14-to-5 score and their
second defeat of the series.
Wild Bill Payne lived up to his
name and aided the Gichner'S
tossers to score six runs in the
initial inning, and from that time
on they we're never headed.
Brown, ace of the Gichner pitch
ing staff, twirled well for the
winners, striking out II.
Lefty Stevens, who played the
outfield for the winners, took the
fielding honors with several un-
usual catches. Campbell, first
captain for the Police, hit well for
his team.
All teams in the Industrial
League are bolstering up their list
of players by getting all the avail
able good college and local sand

BY BRIAN BELL,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

r OS ANGELES, May 29.-
Young Corbett, Sd (born
L. Giordano), goes out tonight
to defend his welterweight
boxing title against hard-punch-
ing Jimmy McLarnin, less than
100 days after he won the cham
pionship from Jackie Fields. Cor
bett, whose home is in Fresno,
Calf, captured the belt from
Fields on Washington's birthday
in the San Francisco base ball
park.
Tonight's battle will also be in ball
park, Wrigley Field, and il all the Gus
toners come there will be room for
approximately $4,000. However, a bit
over half the capacity attendance will
please the promoters.
When Corbett and McLarnin weigh
In at 3 pm. the pride of Fresno Is
sure to have slight weight advan-
tage and this margin doubtless will be
increased 612 hours later when they
crawl in the ring. McLarnin probably
will not weigh more than 145 pounds
at any time. while Corbetts LAT may
mount to 149.
McLARNIN is taller, younger and
1v1 lighter, while Corbett is regarded
as the stronger. Corbett is a
southpaw, but McLarnin supporters
claim the Belfast boy, now resident at
Vancouver, British Columbia, is pre-
pared to adopt good base ball strategy
by meeting left-hand pitching with
right-hand hitting.
A majority of the experts have lined
up In the Corbett camp and the cham
pion ruled the favorite from odds Of
2 to to 10 to 8.
On the other hand, McLarnin fans
express great faith in Jimmy's clout-
ing right and catch-as-catch-can
opinion seemed to be that If knock
out is scored McLarnin will do it.
