Ability to Recoil

Where you find youth, you will
find this quality of resiliency-
an ability to recoil from upsets
and use them as a toe-hold on
which to stage a comeback.
It's that way with children,
you know, or perhaps you don't.
A child falls downstairs or out
of a hammock (do they have
these still?) and has enough
rubber in it's bones to bounce
off and land on it's feet.
A more mature person takes
the same tumble and cracks up.
It has been perfectly apparent
this season, that as between the
Yanks and Griffmen, the Yanks
take their upsets less graciously.
The Griffs just grit their jaws
and wade in the next day dar-
ing the enemy to try it again.
The Washington times., 1933-08-09
Stages a Comeback

Yet, in the very teeth of trag-
edy, what does the team up and
do but stage a comeback yes
terday, allowing the Yankees
but one run and five hits, the
while they Swelled their game
total of leadership to two.
And my friends, between this
day and october l, I believe you
will see this two-game leader"
ship fluctuate back and forth
and finally settle down to about
where it is today. It may go be-
low par for a while, but I be-
lieve it will rise again to just
about where it is noW-tWo
games or maybe a game and a
half.
To the very best of my ana
lysis, can't see more than two
games difference between the
Yanks and Griffs. Neither team
is a perfect team. Where one
has this pitching and the other
that punch, the thing that is 60
ing to mark the difference be-
tween them in the long run is in
their resiliency.

"If we win, we'll get away
with the same advantage as
when we arrived here" they
said. "And that's a good lead.
Still, if we don't win we'll leave
in first place and that's a help,
If nothing else is. But we're
going to try and win. We can
beat these guys as we've shown
it before this season."
And there you have the thoughts
Of the Griffs themselves at this
important stage of the race.
They're out to gain every break
they can and even more SO now
after losing those two contests to
their New York rivals on Monday.
It'll be interesting to see how
they fare today.
The game was quite fast one
for the first two innings yesterday
as the two teams took only II
minutes and half to "get Up and
get out" as it were.
The third inning only took nine
minutes, bringing out the fact
that the two pitchers, Whitehill,
of the Griffs, and Allen, of the
Yanks, were really in fine fettle.
The Griffs got to Allen for three
hits and two runs in the fourth.
An error by Crosetti also aided in
the run-making. Goslin, Manush
and Cronin singled in succession
for the first marker, while Cros-
Setti's error on Schulte's grounder
enabled Manush to score from
third for the other.
Looked like the Yanks were
going to pull one of their famous
big innings on their end of the
fourth when Combs and J. Sewell
singled in succession.
Ruth Saves Day
But no, Ruth saved the day for
the GriffS by driving into a double
play, Myer to Cronin to Kuhel,
Combs, of course, scoring. White
hill retired Chapman few mo-
ments later, to end the inning,
after walking Gehrig.
One of those old time breaks
helped the Griffs to two runs in
the fifth. With two out and
Whitehill on first at a result of
his single, Myer pushed up a foul
fly which Catcher Bill Dickey, of
the Yanks, apparently caught.
Umpire MCGOWAN ruled that the
The Washington times., 1933-08-09

ball hiL the screen, however, and
Myer, overjoyed at his new chance
to bat, .olloWed by hitting a
homer into the right-field stands
scoring Whitehill ahead of him
And did the Yanks burn up?
They had better stop calling
Babe Ruth through, because the
old boy continually keeps con-
founding the experts. He got off
that dime in the sixth inning yes
terday by running far to his left
to grab Schulte's fly just as it
began passing over his head.
Would Have Been Triple
Schultz would have gotten a
triple had the ball landed safe,
and the Griffs would have had
another run, as Cronin was on
first at the time, proving that
there is plenty of life in the great
man yet.

GUTTER STORY.
|RES JEFFR|ES

BURBANK, CAL, Aug. 9.-Jim
Jeffries, the human bear, who was
once heavyweight boxing champ
ion of the world, Waxed exceeding
wrathful today.
"I'm no gutter" he shouted
in denial of the story once told
to the late Jim Corbett by Billy
Delaney, famous ring character,
that Jeffries did not want to
come out for the eleventh round
of his fight with gentleman
Jim" at COney Island.
"Quit as was winning q
fight" he barked.
"SOmebOdy had a pipe dream
why COrbett only hit me twice
in that whole fight.
"Say, I never have quit in my
life and I never will.
"And I certainly never felt
like quitting against Corbett."
And with that the big, kindly.
hearted man who once was the
terror of the ring went back to
his ranch duties.
The Washington times., 1933-08-09

four-game lead to a one-game
deficit, only to again take COM
mand to the extent of four con-
tests.
Then, as the developments of
the last few days have shown,
the lead was again threatened,
it having been shaved to one
game, after a twin-killing at the
hands of the Yanks.
Now, it takes this quality Of
resiliency in bountiful guam
titles to rebound from two
such heart-breaking defeats as
Washington suffered in New
York Monday. Games like those
lost in the ninth inning are
staggering blows to the most
rigid morale.

men failed to figure a guy named
Earl Whitehill. The result, the
Griffs are once more in a happy
mood today, once more in stronger
possession of first place, and once
more confident of beating out
their rivals for the old gonfalon
in the stretch run ahead
"Tt hurt a lot to be beaten
twice on Monday" mused
Cronin after yesterdays con-
test, because there was that
possibility of our morale becom-
ing wrecked. But we came back
today and now that that danger
has been averted, wouldn't be
at all surprised to find us win
ming the final game of the
SERIES"
Those two games Monday did
hold dangerous consequences when
all is put end to end. Two re-
verses for the Yanks would have
knocked them so far out of the
race that they probably would
have never righted themselves
again.
Endanger Morale
Then, as Cronin figured, the
two losses that his team happened
to take had that danger at
tached of wrecking the morale of
his players.
But now, "everything" is lovely
again, as far as the Griffmen are
concerned. They won yesterday
at time when their backs were
conclusively to the wall and they
got back into the winning idea
which should instill them with
just the right sort of pep to go
on to the finish of the cam
paign-a finish that most every
one hopes will be of championship
proportions when the curtain is
finally rung down for the year.
Manager Cronin held another
of his famous meetings" before
game time yesterday in which he
told his men not to worry too
much about their two losses of
the day before, that even though
the same occurred the Griffs, as
a team, were much stronger than
the Yanks, and that the Nc
Carthymen could and would be
beaten by the time the ending of
the schedule rolled around.
Works Wonders
The result of this get-together
worked wonders with the "boys"
as yesterdays contest tells the
tale. They jumped about the field
in high spirited fashion prior to
the start of the game and kept
up their pep throughout the pro-
ceedings, much to the Yankees
surprise, who figured that their
foes were due to play a listless
game.
And so. dear friends, you have
life's little story today of the
Griffs and their efforts towards
winning the 1888 gonfalon. They
haven't done it yet, and the fight
ahead promises to be even more
heated than it has been. But to-
day the Griffs feel that they are
ready for the test-let come what
will and to the devil with the OBJ
stacles in their path.
Once again, we say, you can't
beat spirit like this, can you?

Hay Feuer Plea
Fails; APays

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-A
girl friend and a bad case of
hay fever, which, his parents as
serts, Julius H. Wilmer acquired
when he moved from the honey
atmosphere of the Bronx to the
swank surroundings Of Sutton
Place, cost wilmer alimony and
counsel fees.
Justice Samuel Hofstadter in
Manhattan Supreme Court
awarded Mrs. Florence wilmer
$75 a week and $500 for legal
expenses pending trial of her
separation suit.
wilmer stayed Bronx-con-
scious from 1918 to 1881, when
he kissed his wife and three
children good-by and departed
for Manhattan, the judge was
told by the lawyer for the wife.
First he went to Chelsea, and
there lived with Frances Braff,
an artist, paying her way
through art school and posing
as "Mr. Braff," the wife said.
In his answer wilmer denied
everything, adding that he was

RAID BAN DENIED
DOG TRACK

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 21.-The
system Of selling options on racing
dogs received its first legal test in
New Jersey in the case of Edward
Roberts, sports promoter, who is
manager Of the Union Kennel
Club track at Linden.
Vice Chancellor Alfred Stein re-
fused to entertain a motion for an
injunction to cite the hands" of
the Linden police and keep them
from repeating the raid they engi-
neered on Roberts track recently.
For Roberts the legal defense of
the option system comes under the
head of old business. People have
intimated before that it differs
very little from the pari-mutuel
system of betting, which is illegal
in New Jersey.
Roberts admitted that the
Union Kennel Club, of which
David Dolan, of Hillside, N. j., is
president, takes II per cent off
the top of the money paid out for
options and retains it for the
maintenance of it's track, paddock
and dogs.
This percentage, according to
dog track patrons, represents
handsome figure in the long run.

DISABILITY PAY,
VETS CONCERN

Veterans organizations will
wage their battle in the coming
Congress for restoration of relief
in service-connected disability
cases, instead of on the bonus
question, it appeared today.
The American Legion and the
Disabled American Veterans are
expected to concentrate on this
drive. The bonus question is of
less interest than in the past,
and veterans are primarily con-
cerned with getting back full
compensation for service-connected
cases.
The Veterans Of Foreign Wars
have asked other organizations to
boin it in a fight for repeal of the
whole economy act. but this pro-
posal has found little response to
date.
